I woke to the sound of whispering outside my door. I quickly put on my glasses and picked up my wand. Staying silent I watch and the key in my door slowly turned and within seconds my door flew open. On the other side was a bright light, on the dark side of the light there stood Professor Moody. Crowded around Moody was Nymphadora Tonks, who gave me a peculiar glance in a lustrous manner, a woman I've never encountered named Hestia Jones, and Kingsley a very respected Auror.
"Professor, what are you doing here?" I yell out in excitement and confusion.
"To rescue you of course, now let's get out of here!" Moody replies in his always hostile tone.
Heading out of the front door I shout to Mad-Eye, "The letter said I was expelled from Hogwarts!"
"You haven't been expelled not yet anyway."
Kingsley added, "Dumbledore has convinced the minister of magic to give you a hearing."
I sigh in relief knowing that if Dumbledore is on my side, there is no way I will be denied my attendance back at Hogwarts.
"Don't worry Harry we will explain everything once we get back to headquarters." Nymphadora added.
"Shh..quiet Nymphadora!" Snapped Moody.
Her hair turned bright orange as she said with a vigorous tone, "Don't call me Nymphadora!" She even frightened me a little. Moody with two taps of his staff upon the ground summoned all of our brooms.
"Remember stay in formations everyone, Incase one of us is killed." Mad-Eye ordered. Within seconds we were all flying through the air. I forgot how glorious it felt to ride on my Nimbus 2001. Everytime I lift from the ground and start to soar through the wind I get a jump inside my gut, like I'll never get to used to the take off. We were passing over a lake, there were beautiful buildings all around all lighting up the dark night. Soon we reached a bridge and I caught up to Nymphadora. She looked at me and smirked, we both suddenly looked ahead to see I big yacht getting terrifyingly close. We slip off in opposite directions on either side of the giant boat. Meeting on the other side we smiled at each other with relief.
We soon reached a small grassy area in front of a large apartment building four stories high. Mad-Eye Moody tapped his staff on the ground again, this time a count of three did the trick. The building started moving, I could see some muggles watching television as the walls started to extend. They didn't even notice the movement or the shaking of their home. As the new walls started to appear the windows slightly contracted inward and soon the trembling stopped. Moody led up through the gate and into the door of the new part of the apartment building. Moody pushed me aside and I stood idly by as they all pass me one by one. Of course the last to cross my path was Nymphadora, she gave me a wink and continued to look into my eyes until she tripped over an umbrella stand, awkwardly looking back at it like it apparated there just as she took her eyes off the ground. I giggled a bit knowing it was my fault, but my giggle turned into a giant smile as soon as I saw Sirius sitting at the table in the far room everyone just entered. But before I could say anything or run to give him a big hug, Molly Weasley quickly came around the corner and shut the door behind her. Before I could say anything she instructed.
"So good to see you Harry,dear. No time to explain, we have all your things, now go upstairs and unpack. Supper will be ready after the meeting is done. Your room with be the first door on the right." She gave a giant smile a pat on my cheek and sent me on my way.
I couldn't help but notice how dreary the house was. The color scheme didn't seem to venture off of three colors; grey, dark grey, or an off white. Making my way up the stairs slowly I reached a house elf, not at all like Dobby, this elf seemed to be older, a lot older. He wore the same ragged cloth tied together as Dobby did when he still served the Malfoy's. He was mumbling to himself a name I've seemed to have heard once before, "Mandungus". As I walked passed him on the staircase he watched me and glared squinting his eyes and scouring his mouth in disgust.
Speeding up my pase in order farther myself from the vile elf I reached my bedroom door. I hesitated and took a deep breath before dare opening it. I slowly reached for the handle and pushed open the surprisingly light door. All of a sudden from around the corner, none other than Draco Malfoy stood there in awe and confusion.
"Yes? What are you doing here?" He asked.
"Well Mrs. Weasley said that this is my room.." I was certain she wouldn't put me in here with him, but to my surprise I saw my trunk sitting on the far bed.
"Oh, so you're my roommate huh?" He didn't sound delighted, in fact he never seemed to be around me.
"I guess so, what are you doing here anyway? What is this place?" I say as I walk past him swiftly to start unpacking.
"Let's just say I needed to get away for a bit before school started." He frowned but then remembered my question and put on a little smirk. "Hah! The famous Harry Potter doesnt even know about the Order of Phoenix. Shameful really."
"The Order of Phoenix?" I said not even hearing of the name before.
"Yes, it's a secret society that the old man Dumbledore created when the first war with Voldamort started. This is its headquarters, somewhere hidden in plain sight, but secured from the outside world."
I smiled and looked around "I think its brilliant."

We both looked at each other when we heard Mrs Weasley call us down for supper. Draco opened the door and to my surprise he held it open and gestured for me to go first. As I walked out of the door I saw Ron, Fred, and George come out of a room opposite ours. I smiled big and took turns hugging them tightly one by one. After laughing a bit I heard another door close down the hall, it was Hermione and a girl I hadn't ever spoken to, she was in our house but she mostly kept to herself, usually nuzzling her nose in a book. I ran towards Hermione and gave her a giant hug slightly lifting her off her feet.
"Harry! I'm so glad to see you. This whole thing is outrageous, I've looked it up they simply can't expel you!" She seemed stressed so I just gave another hug in return.
"It's good to see you too Hermione." I look at the girl next to her and she quickly broke off to introduce her to me.
"Harry, this is Una Eruditus."
"Hello!" I said holding out my hand for a proper greeting. She seemed shy, and hesitated looking at my hand. It seemed as though she was evaluating my intentions. Then slowly she reached out her hand and shook mine with a small smile upon her face.
"C'mon supper is getting cold!" We all turned and ran down the stairs to Mrs Weasley's command. The table was long and narrow, it almost took up the entire room. At the head of the table was none other than the infamous Sirius Black, my one and only Godfather. He stood and I quickly wrapped my arms around him in a tight hug, it felt like forever since I last saw him.
"There's my Godson." He said as he kissed me on the top of the head. He gestured for me to sit down in the chair closest to him. Next to me sat Ron, then Fred, and George. Then there was Mr Weasley. Across from Mr Weasley sat Severus Snape, then Draco, and Nymphadora. Next to them was professor Lupin, who quickly gave up his seat to Hermione. Then finally across from me was Una. Standing through out the room was Mrs Weasley stirring the pot of supper, professor Lupin now standing behind Serius and Kingsley standing the farthest to the end.
These must all be the members of the Order of Phoenix.
