Book Two: My Forever Love

Chapter Twenty: Order of the Phoenix

Edeline’s P.O.V
The summer Holiday was almost over and I had managed to go to Harry’s to hang out with him for a while as the both of us had walked to the park together, “how are you doing?” I asked him, “I’m fine, I’ve just been having nightmares about what happened that night.” he said, “me too and it’s always the same one.” I said to him before the both of us sat on the swings and once some of the kids had left, Dudley and some of his friends walked up before Harry spoke up to him, “hey Big D. Beat up another 10 year old?” he said to him, “this one deserved it.” Dudley said and I rolled my eyes a little, “I wonder why.” I said but he ignored me, “5 against one. Very brave.” Harry said to him, “well you're one to talk. Moaning in your sleep every night. At least I’m not afraid of my pillow. Don’t kill Cedric, who’s Cedric, your boyfriend?” Dudley said to us, “he’s going to kill me mum. Where is your mum? Where is your mum Potter? Is she dead? Is she dead?” Dudley said and I stood up and walked up to him pushing him to the ground, “I suggest you shut up.” I said to him as he quickly stood up but all he did was laugh along with his friends, “looks like Potter here needs someone to protect him.” Dudley said before Harry pulled me back and pinned his wand against Dudley just before the sky went dark and the wind began to pick up, “what are you two doing?” Dudley asked us, “we aren’t doing anything.” Harry said, “I think we should leave.” I suggested to them as Dudley’s friends ran off, “let’s go.” I said to them before we ran for it and it soon began to rain until the three of us made it to a tunnel before the water that was already under the bridge began to freeze, “Dementors.” I said to Harry, “why are they here?” he asked, “I don’t know” I told him as it got colder before the Dementor’s attacked us and I soon fell to the ground after Harry sent the Dementor away and I looked to see that Dudley was also being attacked, “Expecto Patronum” I said sending the other Dementor off as well, “let’s get him home.” Harry said and just before we could, we noticed an older woman walking towards us, “Mrs. Figg'' Harry said to her, “don’t put away your wands Harry and Edeline. They might come back.” she said to us and I furrowed my brows a little, “how do you know me?” I asked her and she just smiled a little before Harry and I got Dudley up and started walking back to Harry’s place.

It was quiet throughout most of the walk back before Mrs. Figg spoke up, “Dementors in little Whinging? Whatever next?the whole world has gone topsy turny.” she said to us, “I don’t understand. How do you know-” Harry began to say before she cut him off, “Dumbledore asked me to keep an eye on the both of you. And the reason I know your name, young lady, is because of that.” she said to us, “Dumbledore. You know Dumbledore?” Harry asked her, “after You-Know-Who killed that poor Diggory boy last year, didn’t either of you expect him to let the both of you to go wandering around alone, good lord. They told me that the both of you were intelligent. Now, get inside and stay there. Especially since someone will be in touch soon. Whatever happens, don’t leave the house.” she said to us and both Harry and I had managed to get Dudley inside the house and eventually saw Petunia sitting there before she began to panic about her son, “Duddy. Vernon. Come quick” she said before Vernone came into the room after Harry and I managed to get Dudley on the chair before he was brought a garbage can and both Harry and I stood somewhere else, “who did this to you boy?” Vernon asked Dudley before he pointed at Harry and I, “rubbish.” I whispered to Harry, “Happy are we now? You’ve finally done it. You’ve finally driven him loppy.” Vernon said to us before he looked at Petunia, “look at him Petunia, our boy’s gone lumpy.” Vernon said to her, “oh please, if either one of us had done that, I’m sure we would have done that ages ago.” I told him, “don’t you talk to me in that tone, young lady. I’ve reached my limits, do you hear? This is the last time I’m gonna take you and your nonsense.” Vernon said to us before an Owl flew in and fell to the floor after hitting the ceiling before a letter was now floating and facing Harry and I, “dear Mr. Potter and Miss. Lupin, the Ministry has received intelligence that at 6:23 this evening, you two have performed the Patronus Charm in the presence of a Muggle. As a clear violation of the decree for the reasonable restriction of underaged sorcery, you two are hereby expelled from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Hoping that the both of you are well, Mathilda Hopkerk.” the letter said to us before falling to the ground, “justice.” was all Vernon said to us before himself and Petunia had managed to get Dudley out of the house to take him to the Hospital.

Both Harry and I had gone up to his room for a while only for Harry to end up punching the wall and I jumped a little, “sorry Hedwig” he said to his owl, “mum and dad have pictures with them too. It looked like they always had fun in each picture.” I said to him and smiled a little, “yeah, I bet they did.” he said as I continued to look at the picture before thinking about what had happened, “I wonder why Dementors came after us in the first place, especially Dudley. Muggle’s aren’t able to see them.” I told him, “who knows but someone sent them.” he said before the both of us continued to talk about it for a while before eventually falling asleep only to eventually wake up to the sound of the door handle moving and both Harry and I took out our wands just incase before seeing Professor Moody along with a few others with him as well, “Professor Moody.” Harry said, “What are you guys doing here?” I asked them, “rescuing you of course. Your mother and father were also worried when she found out about what happened” Professor Moody said to us before we left and walked outside, “but where are we going? The letter said that we’d been expelled from Hogwarts.” Harry said to Moody, “well you haven’t been, neither have you. Not yet. Kingsley, you take point.” Professor Moody said, “but the letter said-'' I began to say before Kingsley cut me off, “Dumbledor has persuaded the Minister to suspend your expulsions. Pending on a forma hearing.” Kingsley said to us, “wait what?” I asked him, “a hearing?” Harry asked before the woman spoke up, “don’t worry Harry and Edeline, we’ll explain everything when we get back to Headquarters.” she told us, “not here Nymphadora.” Professor Moody said to her, “don’t call me Nymphadora.” she said as her hair changed color, “I like you already.” I said to her and she smiled a little before her hair went back to purple and soon enough, our brooms were in our hands, “stay in formation everyone. Don’t break ranks if one of us is killed.” Professor Moody said, “thanks for the boost of confidence.” I said to him before we got on our brooms and flew off and flew through London.

By the time we got to where we needed to be, we hid for a moment before the Garbage truck drove by and we came out onto the street before Professor Moody had tapped his walking stick on the road a few times before something happened to the apartment building as it started to split as another apartment appeared, “does anyone ever notice that? Like feel it move when this happens?” I asked Professor Moody, “no, they don’t. In you go.” he said and Harry and I just looked at each other before walking inside and looked around, “this isn’t creepy at all.” I said to him before Professor Moody and the other walked passed us and into another room as we slowly followed and once they were all inside, we saw dad and Sirius sitting next to each other before they noticed us and I waved and smiled a little before Mrs. Weasley came into view, “Harry, Edeline.” she said to us, “Mrs. Weasly.” Harry said, “Hi Mrs. Weasley.” I said before she hugged the both of us, “bit peaky. But I’m afraid dinner is going to have to wait until after the meeting is finished” she told us and we tried to say something before she stopped us, “nope. No time to explain. Straight upstairs, first door on the left.” She told us and we had done so and eventually found the room only for Hermione to hug the both of us as soon as we walked into the room and I had hung out with Ginny for a while before we heard something from outside and heard what the others were talking about downstairs.

Rosalie’s P.O.V  
As the kids are upstairs, the rest of us along with Severus were talking with each other for a while before Severus left and Mrs. Weasley had called the kids to come down for dinner and everyone eventually had been seated as some were talking about Harry and Edeline’s trial, “this is very, very peculiar. It seems that your hearing at the Ministry will be before the entire Wzardingmont.” Arthur told Harry and Edeline, “I don’t understand, what does the Ministry of Magic get against me and Edeline?” Harry asked, “show them. They’ll find out soon enough.” Alastor told them before Kingsley gave Harry the paper and both Harry and Edeline looked at it, “they think we’re lying?” Edeline questioned, “they’re attacking Dumbledore as well. Fudge is using all his power, including his influence of the Daily Prophet to smear anyone who claims the Dark Lord has returned.” Sirius said to us, “he’s boody mad then.” Edeline said, “why?” Harry asked, “the Minister thinks Dumbledore is after his Job.” Remus said to Harry, “but that’s insane no one in their own mind can believe that Dumbledore-” Harry said before Remus spoke up, “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 and Edeline. The last time Voldemort gained power, he almost destroyed everything we hold most dear. Now that he’s returned, I’m afraid the Minister will do almost anything to avoid facing the terrifying truth.” Remus said to them, “so he’s practically hiding from all of this and lying to everyone. Lovely, apparently that’s what everyone needs.” Edeline said before walking out of the room and I went to follow her, “Edeline” I called out and followed her to her room upstairs and we talked about it for a while before going back down and ate with the others.
