I'm not a coward, just shy (Hogwarts fanfic)

ch 2- Grimmauld place

My father pressed a cool cloth to my head which felt wonderful for about half a minute before turning hot. We had moved into 12 grimmauld place which was to be the Order of The Phoenix's head quarts. This was an Organisation that had been founded by Dumbledore in the time when Vortdemort had claim to power the first time and now it was being refounded. I was sharing a room with Fred and George while Ron had a room to himself for now. I had been having visions every night and quickly developed a fever. My dad never left me curling up as a dog at the foot of my bed. It made me really hard to be able to spend my waking hours with him. He would time me stories about his time in his at school, his 'Marauder' days, as he called them. He even spoke of my mother telling me she would be proud of me. He told me I looked very much like her except for my hair. Her hair had been dark brown and in the pictures I had, she always had it tied in two pleats, down her shoulders.

Percy had not joined us, too grimmauld place. He had moved in with relatives and reused to move any contract with Mrs or Mr Weasley. Mrs Weasley keep herself busy, always either cleaning, cooking or asking if you wanted something to eat. She was really torn up about it and it was hard to word her like this. Hermione had join Grimmauld place not too long after and had buried herself in books ever since starting to study even before the term started.

One thing that put me apart from the other was, I was allow to join the Order of the Phoenix. To everyone's dismay, even my own, Dumbledore had stated that I must be aware of all things to do with the order so I could know what to look for. This didn't sit well with Fred and George or Mrs Weasley and My dad. Fred and George wanted into the order because they were the wizarding age of 17 and I wasn't. My Dad and Mrs Weasley thought I was too young and I understand that they want to protect me but I seen horrors I can't describe. If I can help to bring down Voldemort, I will fight with every muscle in my body. I wasn't scared, part of me wondered if Cedric was scared when he felt his live slipping away. I would average he.

One moment I woke up and no one was in my room, The vision I had just had had somewhat shaken me. With head pounding, I decided that I couldn't stay in bed any longer otherwise I would be driven insane. Shakily I got to my feet and following the wall, I steady myself and made my way down stairs. I made it half way down the stairs when the front down opened. It was Remus and he tired. It had been a full moon and Remus was just starting to recover a bit. Never the less he smiled a worried smile.

"Taylor, Should you be out of bed, You still don't look so well" He said quietly careful not to wake the sleeping portrait of my late grandmother. I waved him off but stumbled none the less when I managed to get to the bottom of the stairs, Remus steadying me.

"I'll go crazy if I have to stay in that bed for any longer, plus I need a shower" I forced a laugh, knowing all too well that I was beginning to smell. "Anyway, I had a vision and no one was in my room. In a few hours Harry is going to be attacked by Dementors and is going to use magic to protect himself and his cousin, they will be fine but the ministry is going to be asking questions. Why don't we get you to the kitchen, I think everyone is having is having breakfast." I nodded but I didn't want to talk to anyone.

Entering the kitchen, Mrs Weasley sprang on me as soon as I entered the room, not satisfied until I had a hot mug in my hand and a bowl of chicken soup. It was fair to say that it wasn't just the hot food that warmed my hand. George and Fred Apparated into the chairs next me, which luckily I had gotten used to.

"Good to see your up, How you feeling" Fred and George said in unison.

"Fine, I think it's finally breaking" I tried to smiled. "Harry is going to turn up around 8 o'clock ish and he won't best mood" I warned them and they put on a look of shocked innocence's.

"We would never ever annoy anyone"

"Thee of some little faith" George pretended to collapses on Fred who fanned him which me burst out in laughter, which was stopped by My dad's boom screams, setting off the late Mrs Black, Him tumbling into the kitchen in a panic.

"TAYLOR IS GONE, I CAN'T FIND HIM!!-" He noticed me and slumped "Merlin, You gave me a heart attack boy. Are you sure you should be out of bed. I chuckled half heartily.

"I am fine"

We were in a order of the phoenix meeting when I heard the front door open and close, then there was a bang and Mrs Black's painting was set off. Mrs Weasley and Remus were the first out the doors to shut up the painting.

"We bettering call an end to this meeting" Dumbledore nodded, getting up Snape by his side leaving the kitchen. I groaned my head lolling back, I was tired, it was the most active I have been in the last week. I got unsteadily to my feet, keeping to the wall as I got to the exit myself. Harry was standing in the hall way, talking to Sirius. Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Fred and George standing on the stands waiting for him. I chose to go back up the stairs, one painfully slowly step at a time.

"Taylor, You want a hand" Fred wrapped one arm around my waist and took my arm. "You tired" he asked pulling me up the stairs. I nodded.

"Yeah, I can't sleep just yet, once Harry is up the stairs he will want answers"
