Year 5- Headquaters

"Harry, I've been looking for you all day!" I exclaim walking up to him on a swing in the park, he just continues to stare at a women and her son. I sigh, sitting on the swing next to him. Im about to speak again when I  boys start laughing, it was Dudley and his gang.

"Hey, Big D." Harry says as they stand in front of us. "Beat up another ten-year-old?"

"This one deserved it."

"Ooh five against one, how brave of you." I tease.

"Well, you're one to talk , moaning in your sleep every night. At least i'm not afraid of my pillow." Dudley and his gang laugh. I glare at him. Ever since Voldemort returned, neither Harry or I have had   a peaceful night. Either one night it'll be me tossing and turning or the other it would be Harry. Still  Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon make us share a room, no matter how much I've begged for one of us to get the spare room.

"Shut up Dudley." Harry retorts.

"Don't kill Cedric!" Dudley mocks. "Who's Cedric, your boyfriend?"

"No" I state.

"He's going to kill me, mum!" He continues now looking at Harry. "Where is your mum? Where is your mum, Potter? She dead? Is she dead?"

Harry rushes over, pointing his wand at Dudley. His friends laugh, but Dudley looks nervous. The sky gets dark, and there is a low rumble of thunder. I go over to Harry, placing my hand on his shoulder, "He's not worth it Harry."

"Dudley! Dudley, let's go home." His friends now panic as the sky gets darker and the wind picks up.

"What are you doing?"

"Im not doing anything." Harry admits.

"Wait what?" I ask, looking at the sky. "This isn't you?"

"No! I though it was you?"

"No."  I reply, pulling out my wand.

"Come on, Dudley! Hurry up!" His friends call out as the run away. Harry looks up one last time, before we all start running home. It starts to pour, and we head for a tunnel. "In here, Jade. Quick."

We slow down, but as we walk through the tunnel the lights start to flicker. I grip my wand tighter. The air gets colder, and I look over to Harry. Shit. A dementor appears behind me, pushing me against the wall.

"Dudley, run!" Harry turns to him as I struggle against the Dementors grip. He starts to run but slips over on the ice, and another Dementor appears above him. My body gets colder, and everything gets dark as the dementor starts sucking my soul. "Harry." I whisper, a moment later I hear:

"Expecto patronum!" The Dementor drops me. I grunt as i hit the ground, looking back over at Dudley whose face is now a blur. Harry points his wand over to him, getting rid of the other Dementor. Making my over to Dudley, Harry spots Mrs. Figg. 

"Don't put away your wand. " She tells him. "They might come back."

"Huh?" I look over confused.

...

"Dementors in Little Whinging? Whatever next?" Mrs. Figg asks walking us home, as me and Harry  struggle with Dudley's weight on our shoulders ."The whole world's gone topsy-turvy"

"How do you know about-" I start.

"Dumbledore asked me to keep an eye on you two."

"Dumbledore? You know Dumbledore?" Harry now asks.

"Uh-huh. After You-Know-Who killed that poor Diggory boy last year, did you expect him to let you two wander around alone? Good Lord. They said you were Intelligent. Now, get inside and stay there. I expect someone will be in touch soon. Whatever happens, don't leave the house."

I nod as we drag Dudley inside.

"Didy-kins is that you?" I hear Aunt Petunia ask as we open the living room door, revealing Dudley's dazed body. "Duddy? Vernon, come quick." She panics as we place him on a chair.

"You have to take him to hospital." She whispers to Vernon.

"Who did this to you ,boy?" Dudley points towards us.

"Happy, are we now?" Vernon looks at us. "Eh, you've finally done it. You've finally driven him loopy!"

"Vernon! Don't say that!" Petunia whispers.

"Well, j-just look at him, Petunia. Our boy is gone yumpy! I've reached my limit do you hear?" He walks towards us. "This is the last im gonna take of your nonsense." A owl flies through the window dropping a letter. This can't be good. The letter hovers over to Harry and a face appears.

"Dear Mr. Potter, the Ministry has received intelligence that at 6:23 this evening, you performed the Patronus Charm in the presence of a Muggle. As a clear violation of the Decree for the Reasonable Restriction of Underage Sorcery, you are hereby expelled from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizidary. Hope that you are well, Mafalda Hopkirk."

I gasp, looking over at Harry.

"Justice." Vernon grins.

Harry storms up stairs and I follow. Storming into the bedroom, he slams his fist against the wall.

"This is so unfair! They don't know what happened." I exclaim. "But don't worry Harry, Im sure Dumbledore will help get you back. "

I pick up Leta, as Harry sits down on his bed, placing the photo of our parents back on his nightstand.  "Get some sleep Harry, it's been a long day." I tell him, leaving the room. I go back down stairs, as the house is empty. 

With Leta in my lap, I open the letter from Draco.

Dear Jade,

Every time you explain what those Muggles have done, I hate them even more. I would say you should of just come to Malfoy Manor for the Summer but  after recent events it probably isn't a good idea. Father is incredibly uptight and stressed at the moment, so Mother keeps taking me out on day trips. I miss you terribly, and look forward to your letters everyday. Keep me updated with how you are feeling, I don't want you blaming yourself again. Anyway, can't wait to see you again soon.

Draco Malfoy x

I smile slightly, reading the first part of the letter but then my face drops. Poor boy, he is probably going to be dragged into his father's business sooner or later. I sigh, grabbing some parchment to write back when I hear the front door open. "Wow, very clean these muggles." I hear a women whisper. I stand up and slowly walk towards the corridor, spotting the real Mad-eye and a bunch of others going upstairs. I clear my throat, and they all stop, looking over at me.

"What are you doing here?" I ask.

"Rescuing you and your brother, of course." Mad-eyes replies. "Now grab a jacket."

"Hey im Tonks, practically your god-mother." The woman smiles.

"Hell-"

"We don't have time. Come on." Moody ushers us.

...

"Where are we going. The letter said that i've been expelled from Hogwarts." Harry explains rushing after Moody as we leave the house.

"Well you haven't been, not yet. Kingsley you take point."

"But the letter said..."

"Dumbledore has persuaded the Minister to suspend you expulsion pending a formal hearing." Kingsley tells Harry.

"See! I told you Dumbledore would get involved."  I smile.

"Don't worry Harry, we'll explain everything when we get back to headquarters." The women says.

"Shh! Not here, Nymphadora"

"Don't call my Nymphadora." Her hair turns red. Cool.

Moody taps his stick, and broomstick appear in front of all of us. "Stay in formation, everyone. Don't break ranks if one of us is killed."

"Killed?" I ask as we kick off into the air.

...

We land in a park outside a random street in London. "Come on." Moody ushers. As we head to the  front of some houses,  he starts tapping his stick again, I watch in shock as another house appears out of nowhere.

"In you go."

Harry and I look at each other, before walking in and down a creaky corridor. The sound of men speaking can be heard at the end of the corridor.

"Shh! Keep your voices down." I hear Mrs Weasley state as I spot Sirius, and the others.

"Come on Harry." I smile walking towards the room. They all go silent as they spot us.

"Harry. Jade." Mrs Weasley smiles, walking out the room and closing the door behind her. "Heavens you alright" She hugs both of us. She grabs Harry's face. "Bit peaky but im afraid dinner will have to wait until after the meeting's finished."

"About that-"

"No time to explain. Straight upstairs, first door on the left. And second door on the right for you Jade." She points. We head upstairs and spot a house-elf muttering to himself. He stares us down as we walk past him. Harry opens his door and is attacked by Hermione. "Harry! Are you alright. We've heard them talking about the dementor attack." She then spots me, pulling me in for a hug  "Jade. You two must tell us everything."

"Let them breathe, Hermione." Ron states

"And this hearing at the Ministry! It's just outrageous! I've looked it up- they simply can't expel you. It's completely unfair."

"I agree Hermione. So what is this place?" I ask leaning on the doorframe.

"It's headquarter of the Order of the Phoenix."

"It's a secret society- Dumbledore formed it back when they first fought You-Know-Who."

"You couldn't have put any of this in a letter, I suppose?" Harry asks. "i've gone all summer without a scrap of news. Instead I've had to watch Jade, get letters from Malfoy."

"Malfoy? " Ron looks back and me, and I just shrug before heading to my room. I open to door and find all my stuff laid out, and Leta.

"Hey, Lettie. Im sorry I left you so suddenly." I sigh picking her up. 

...

I walk back out my room to find the others leaning over the banister listening in, well until Crookshanks gets involved.

"Hermione I hate your cat." Ron mumbles. I laugh as Hermione scolds the cat and we all head downstairs.

"Well, we'll be eating down in the kitchen." Mrs Weasley states and then jumps as the twins apparate either side of her.. "Oh! Just because you're allowed to use magic now does not mean you have to whip you wands out for everything."

She clams down spotting Harry and I. "You hungry?"

"You sure you are all right twins. You've had  quite a turn." Mr Weasley asks as Sirius appears behind him.

"Harry and Jade Potter."

"Sirius!" Harry hugs him as I just smile and wave. We head to the kitchen as sit around the table, Leta sits next to Crookshanks who's still playing with the ear.

"I don't understand. What has the Ministry of Magic got against me?" I hear Harry ask.

"Show him. He'll find out soon enough."

Kingsley grabs a newspaper, handing it to Harry. I look over his shoulder reading the headline: The boy who lies? Underneath is a picture of Harry. No mention of me, not like I was there that night  or anything.

"He's been attacking Dumbledore as well. Fudge is using his power, including his influence at the Daily Prophet, to smear anyone who claims the Dark Lord has returned." Sirius explains.

"Why?"

"The Minister thinks Dumbledore's after his job." Remus adds.

"But that's insane. No one in their right mind could believe that Dumbledore-" Harry starts.

"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. The last time Voldemort gained power, he almost destroyed everything we hold most dear. Now he has returned and Im afraid the Minister will do almost anything to avoid facing that terrifying truth."

"We think Voldemort wants to build up his arm again." Sirius tell us. "14 years ago he had huge number at his command,  and not just witches and wizards bur all manner of dark creatures. He's been recruiting heavily, and we've been attempting to do the same. But gathering followers isn't the only thing he's interested in. We believe Voldemort may be after something."

"Sirius." Moody warns

"Something he didn't have last time." 

"You mean, like a weapon?"

"No. That's enough." Mrs Weasley interrupts. "They are just kids. You say much more and you might as well induct them into the Order straightaway." She tells Sirius taking the newspaper off Harry.

"Good. I want to join. If Voldemort's raising an army, then I want to fight. What about you Jade?" 

"Uh. .. Yeah? " I nod as Sirius looks at us proud.

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

I plop down on the bed next to Hermione, Harry and Ron were still scoffing their faces.

"So im guessing we can't tell anyone about here?"

"No. Sorry... it's why you didn't get any letter from us." She admits, shuffling closer and lowering her voice. "Before the boys come back... um you and Draco?"

"I don't know... I mean obviously I like him, we are best friends but last year, the dynamic's changed a bit but I don't want to ruin anything."

"Do you like him more than a friend?"

I look around the room trying to avoid the question, "Well, I for one can tell you that he defiantly likes you more than a friend. So...?"

"I wouldn't be opposed but it makes it complicated."

"Hmm I get it. This is Draco Malfoy we are talking about."

"Draco Malfoy? Why we talking about that git?" Ron and Harry walk in and I stare at Hermione.

"Just that umm that his father was there, that night."

"Not surprising, doubt it won't be long till he's one."  Harry sits on the bed opposite us. 

 "Nah, Narcissa wouldn't-" I start

"Yeah, not her poor little Draco." Ron laughs. "Harry how much would I have to pay you to have Malfoy's parents?"

"So much." Harry laughs too.

"His parents aren't that bad!" I protests.

"They're Voldemort supporters, I don't think you can worse then that." They all laugh and I just sit there and sulk.
