"IF ANYONE HAS A RIGHT TO KNOW, IT'S HARRY.. IF IT WASN'T FOR HARRY WE WOULDN'T EVEN KNOW VOLDEMORT WAS BACK"
you lean over the railing.
"he's not a child, molly" sirius's voice comes through the ear contraption fred and george had made to eavesdrop on the adults.
"but he's not an adult either" mrs.weasley hisses, "he's not james, sirius"
"well, he's not your son"
"he's as good as"
"who else has he got"
"hey, ginny" harry says quietly as ginny walks over, occupying the free spot.
"he's got me"
"how touchingly paternal, black. perhaps potter will grow up to be a felon, just like his godfather"
"now, you stay out of this snivellus"
you look up, "snape's apart of the order?"
"git" ron says.
you listen back in, "..about your supposed reformation"
but your eyes go slightly wide as one of the twins points down to the ear. both himiko and crookshanks were going over to it.
himiko reaches up, smacking it down, himiko and crookshanks both nip at it.
"himiko! crookshanks! come on.. stop it" you whisper shout.
"come on, kitties. we'll give you tuna..." hermione whispers.
they don't listen, ripping the ear from the string and running off with it.
"hermione, [name], i hate your cats"
"bad crookshanks!"
"naughty himiko!"
you rub your forehead.
you all go back down the stairs, mrs. weasley was waiting down the bottom.
"well, we'll be eating down in the kitchen"
but she jumps, letting out an annoyed shout as both twins apparate behind her.
"just because you're allowed to use magic now does not mean you have to whip your wands out for everything!" she shouts.
ginny and ron scoot passed her.
"you hungry, you two?" mrs. weasley smiles kindly at you and harry.
"you sure you're both alright? gave us quite a turn" mr.weasley puts his arm over mrs. weasley's shoulder.
you nod, stepping back beside hermione as sirius walks up, "harry potter"
"sirius" harry smiles widely, going over and hugging him.
mrs. weasley then ushers you all into the kitchen, you all take your seats. you were next to harry and near mr. weasley, grinning at tonks doing some odd kind of shape shifting stuff.
"this is very, very peculiar"
you turn your attention to mr. weasley.
"it seems that your hearing in the ministry is to be before the entire wizengamot"
"i don't understand. what has the ministry of magic got against us?" harry asks.
"i wouldn't say so much against toga here"
you blink.
"but, show him. he'll find out soon enough"
kingsley hands harry a newspaper, you lean over, reading the article.
"he's been attacking dumbledore as well"
"fudge is using all his power, including his influence at the daily profit.. to smear anyone who claims the dark lord has returned"
"why?" harry questions.
"the minister thinks dumbledore's after his job"
you raise an eyebrow.
"but that's insane, no one in their right mind could think that dumbledore-"
"exactly the point. fudge isn't in his right mind. it's been twisted and warped by fear. now, fear makes people do terrible things, harry. the last time voldemort gained power.. he almost destroyed everything we hold most dear. now he's returned, and i'm afraid the minister will do almost anything to avoid facing that terrifying truth"
you look down at your juice.
"we think dumbledore wants to build up his army again"
you purse your lips.
"fourteen years ago, he had huge numbers at his command. and not just witches and wizards, but all manner of dark creatures. he's been recruiting heavily, and we've been attempting to do the same. but gathering followers isn't the only thing he's interested in"
moody clears his throat, you glance at him.
"we believe.. voldemort may be after something"
mrs. weasley stops cutting the food.
"sirius" moody says.
sirius continues, "something he didn't have last time"
"you mean like a weapon?"
sirius goes to say something but mrs. weasley interrupts him. "no. that's enough. he's just a boy"
she storms over, taking the newspaper, "you say much more and you might as well induct him into the order straight away"
"good. i want to join" harry says, "if voldemort's raising and army. then i want to fight"
sirius leans back, spreading his hands as if saying, 'see?'
