I do not own Harry Potter.

A/N: It's a short chapter.. But trust me, there's a nice twist... ;-)

It was the day after Harry Potter had arrived at 12 Grimmauld Place. Currently he was seated between his best friend and his godfather. Harry felt like his head was about to explode. With weeks of no information, he had come to the place with a mindset to threaten people for some data. Now, after having been given hours of description by them, here he was, with what can be described as 'too much information'.

Firstly, he was at the Headquarters of a resistance group called The Order of The Pheonix.

Secondly, his best friend seemed to be contributing quite a lot for the Order. (She found a cure for lycanthropy, working alongside the bat of the dungeons for Merlin's sake!)

Thirdly, it was because of Hermione's request that he, along with the Weasley twins, were now included in a very important meeting of the Order. (Ron was left sulking in his room for not being included.)

And last, but definitely not the least, his best friend was in a relationship... romantic relationship.. with his godfather! He would need some time, and probably a bit of therapy, to digest that. But, being the kind soul that he was, he decided to support them whatsoever.

Harry's trail of thought was interrupted when Dumbledore, along with Snape, entered the overly crowded kitchen.

The kitchen was filled with an odd collection of people. As per Hermione's request, not all the members of the Order were present. Hermione stood up and placed a piece of parchment on the table. There were three signatures at the top, one belonging to Dumbledore.

"I want everyone present here to sign this parchment. It is a signature oath parchment which makes sure that everyone will hear me out and not act rashly. It will also keep this meeting a secret from anyone else, even if they try legilimency. I trust everyone here but cannot risk the information. The consequences might be severe. Professor Dumbledore had to convince Madame Bones to sign first because she didn't know about Sirius's presence or innocence. Mr. Soms here is from the Department of Muggle Intelligence Service. He is here on my request, we've known each other for quite some time. Anyway, I hope everyone here will sign with their own will."

To everyone's surprise (mostly shock), Severus Snape took the parchment and signed without a moments hesitation. The action was followed by Sirius Black, who was looking at Hermione the whole time. The parchment was passed around the table and everyone signed their names: Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Fred Weasley, George Weasley, Arthur Weasley, Molly Weasley, Bill Weasley,(No more Weasleys) Minerva McGonagall, Kingsley Shacklebot, Alastor Moody, Remus Lupin, Nymphadora Tonks and a scribbly sign by Hagrid. Hermione waved her wand over the parchment till it glowed. It was Dumbledore who spoke next.

"Brilliant spellwork Miss Granger. I would have awarded Gryffindor some points had we been back at the castle."

Hermione blushed and pocketed the parchment. She took out a small box from her bag and cleared her throat.

"I would request everyone to please maintain their calm and not react to the content of the box. The spell on the parchment would anyway prevent any movement from a person who wishes to react violently or cast any form of magic."

As soon as she opened the box, the whole room went silent. Sirius's body was automatically bound to his chair and his wand flew and landed on the table. A similar thing happened to Harry and Remus. The rest of the crowd looked like they had been petrified. Mr. Soms was just intrigued at the reaction of the crowd. Only three members seemed void of any emotions-Hermione, Professor Snape and the Headmaster. They kept their calm and waited for everyone to calm down.

Within the box lay an unconscious garden rat. A rat with a silver paw...

Tan tan taaaaaaaaaaa!

Please review :-* How, what, when will be answered in the next chapter... Any suggestions as to what should be the consequences? ;-)

P.S. This chapter was dedicated to the Brilliant SM...
