3 A.M. (Oliver Wood) *ON HOLD*

Chapter Six: Order of the Phoenix

Needless to say, Oliver definitely wasn't getting lucky. Celeste was in a very foul mood. She had still carefully packed her things to make sure everything fit and it was all folded and placed perfectly, but she was still angry. Oliver understood obviously, but that didn't mean he wasn't a little disappointed.

When they had arrived at the house later on, Sirius had already went to his room. He refused to come out until the next morning, and it just so happened to be the same day that Harry would be coming to stay until Hogwarts started back. Celeste wasn't too happy about it, but she learned to get over it. At least, with Harry around, she'd be able to avoid her father easier.

The night Harry arrived, another meeting was called. Celeste sat in the meeting, but she completely ignored everything that was said. The only thing she did hear was when Dumbledore gave Lupin a mission. The mission would have him gone for a week, and that meant Celeste would be stuck without him for a week. Obviously, she still had Oliver, but Lupin was supposed to be their buffer.

Celeste kept her mouth shut until the other Order members left. She didn't want them thinking she was crazy, or that she would refuse her own missions. She definitely wouldn't, but they didn't know that, and she didn't want them to think she was too weak or a frightened child.

"You can't seriously leave me here for a week. Oliver can only do so much to help me. You're supposed to be our buffer." Celeste said, making Lupin sigh.

"I'm sorry, Celeste, but I've got to do what I can to help the Order. You'll just have to behave while I'm not here." Lupin replied, causing Celeste to scoff.

"Tell that to him." Celeste retorted, making Lupin frown.

Celeste stayed quiet, as Lupin served her a cup of tea. Soon, Oliver joined them and fixed himself a cup of tea as well. The three sat in a comfortable silence, until Sirius came into the room. Celeste bit her tongue, trying to keep her face from showing how unhappy she was to see her father.

"I'm thinking of letting Harry be a part of the Order." Sirius commented, making Celeste roll her eyes.

"That's not a good idea. I believe he's a little too young." Lupin replied, causing Sirius to shrug.

"He's a key part in most of this Order business, he might as well know what's going on." Sirius said, and Celeste somewhat agreed.

Celeste stayed quiet though, knowing Sirius didn't want her opinion. He could care less with what she thought was right or wrong. She was a smart girl, but he didn't seem to really care at all.

"You'll probably have to have most of the Order to agree before he can be a part of the meetings." Lupin commented, making Sirius sigh.

"Celeste, don't you think Harry should be a part of the Order?" Sirius asked, causing the girl to frown.

"I don't think he should have to deal with all the stress of knowing everything we learn about the Death Eaters and the victims." She replied, making him roll his eyes.

"Of course you'd agree with Remus." He retorted, causing the girl to sigh.

"It's not that I'm just agreeing with Moony to go against you, but if you don't want to see that I'm trying to point out an obvious flaw in your plan, than that's your problem, not mine." She stated, and he shook his head.

"You've always been a good little girl, haven't you?" He questioned sarcastically,"Always following orders and making sure you get approval from someone else. I mean, honestly Celeste, do you really believe that everything you do is so perfect and right?"

"You need to stop." Oliver spat, causing the man to look up at him.

"And who are you to tell me what to do?" Sirius asked, glaring hard at the boy.

"I'm Celeste's boyfriend," Oliver snapped,"and I think you're way out of line with the way you're treating her. You need to show her some respect. You're her father, but you're acting like a bloody git instead of a father."

"You don't even know the half of it, Wood." Sirius sneered, and Oliver chuckled humorlessly.

"No?" Oliver asked rhetorically,"I know you abandoned her at a young age. You chose Harry Potter over your own daughter. You turned your back on her before the Potters even had Harry. A poor excuse of a father you are, and honestly, Celeste is way better off without you. She has me, and she has Remus. She is everything anyone could wish to be, and for you to treat her like she's nothing to you is ridiculous." Oliver spat, as Sirius's face seemed to fall.

"Oliver, I think he's heard enough." Lupin murmured, trying to keep the tension down to keep an actual fight from starting.

He didn't want to disturb the Weasleys, since most of them were currently sleeping, as were Harry and Hermione. He didn't want them to hear the argument, and possibly try and intervine or put their own opinion in on the matter. It wasn't any of their business, and he wanted to keep them out of it.

"I will not listen to you say another crude thing to my girl. I will kill you, Black, or I'll turn you into Azkaban myself." Oliver sneered, before he stood up and walked out of the kitchen.

Celeste didn't know what to do. She was grateful for Oliver, she really was, but she knew he had just angered Lupin a little bit. Lupin was still friends with Sirius, despite everything the man did, and Celeste didn't want to anger Lupin. She would always choose Oliver over anyone though, so if anyone tried to say anything negative about him, she'd tell them off. She just hoped there wasn't an argument started over Oliver; she'd get really disrespectful real fast if there was...
