Splits in time

chpt 2

Harry walked swiftly through the bunker as he headed to the meeting room, his footsteps resounding through the empty hall. His robes billowed out behind him in a very snape-like fashion. It had been one year and nine months since the order went into hiding. The meeting would take a couple hours at best, at worst. . . it could be a while. Most meetings these days just consisted of Moody suspecting everyone of being spies and most people yelling back and forth. He sighed as he stopped in front of the door, not quite ready to subject himself to the hours of torure, he may be a grown man but these meetings make him want to scream sometimes, they can't seem to be in the same room without arguing..

He steeled himself and swiftly pushed open the door walking in with a blank face and no hesitation. He sits in his seat and waits for the rest of the members to arrive while listening to the people there talk amongst themselves. Ten minutes later everyone is there and the meetings started with moody standing. "Everyone, QUITE DOWN." Instantly everyone fell silent at moody's yell.

"The muggles have started to use nuclear bombs above ground so soon it will no longer be safe to go on missions above. We need to collect as many different ingredients as we can to start a greenhouse here, Neville has volunteered to go on the mission to help harvest plants. We will need Harry, Remus, Ron, Hermione, Fletcher, and Kingsley to go on this mission, it will be one of the last missions needed.

"Moody, why would I be needed? I'm not good at herbology or potions. What use could I Possibly be!?" Remus interjects Worried he would hold back the rest of the group.

"Lupin, we need your nose. Not only will you be able to tell us when a muggle is nearby, you can also scent the ingredients we need. It is important that you go, you could be the difference of whether the group gets caught or not."

"What about me! What value do I have in this mission, someone explain it to me please!" Ron shouts, throwing his hands into the air dramatically to help take pressure off of moony.

"Well your proficiency in deducing the best course of action after encountering a complication is indispensable while on a mission." Hermione states easily.

"How many times do I have to tell you SMALL words mione' Your smarts are scary." He feigned seriousness for all of ten seconds before he started giggling then chuckling and before long he was full blown belly laughing with the rest of the group. When the laughter finally died down everyone was a lot less tense and the mood of the room improved. "Thanks mate." Harry said, standing and passing around folders quickly before sitting back down.

"Those are maps of the general area we will be searching in, Fletcher scoped it out last week so it should be good to go. We are not to go outside those boundaries and if anyone gets separated from the group we will have ear cuffs that you can use to alert the others in the group." Harry stood again and passed around a small wooden box with plain meatal ear cuffs with runes for communication on them. "To communicate with the person you want you need to say their codename, they are all interconnected so as long as everyone has theirs on you can communicate effectively through a temporary mind link."

"There will be a connection with moody, as he will still be on base, if there are any problems in the mission or if anyone is captured we need to let him know, You may keep the cuffs after the mission as more are going to be made and distributed throughout the base as an easy way of communication. You can have a conversation with up to five people at a time but Moody's cuff can send 'announcements' through them if there is an emergency. While we are out in the field refrain from speaking out loud as it could give us away.

"I will be leading this mission for now, Hermione will be our intelligence, Ron will be our strength, Remus will be our guard, Fletcher will be our scout, and Shacklebolt will be our lookout, any questions?" No one said anything as most of them were inspecting their cuffs.
