Harry Potter and the Secrets of the Order

Chapter 19

War Truly Begins

By: Sirius Padfoot

June 29, 2004

Anna had been back for a few day's when she finally turned to Sirius curiously. They were all in the empty DADA class looking over some Auror and Order business. "Oy Sirius you never told us the results of your mission." She said slightly confused as she looked over at him.

"Oh…Sorry, they said no they wouldn't get involved. That it was our problem." Sirius said then frowned lightly as he thought back to the first war. "That's what they said last time too."

"I know… Can they truly be so stupid after what happened in the last war?" Remus asked curiously as he looked between Anna and Sirius.

"Oy what are you three talking about?" James asked confused since he came back the night Sirius had returned from his mission and had no clue what so ever what they were talking about.

"The American Ministry of Magic, they won't help in this war like they wouldn't in the last one." Anna explained.

"Sorry got a little side tracked with James' return to the living." Sirius said as he looked at his friends.

"We all did Sirius not just you… Don't you think the hall is awful quiet for a normal Saturday?" Anna said curiously as she stood up and started towards the door.

"No not really student's rather spend their time out side on Saturday." James said as he watched her curiously.

"No not all of them. Remus you agree?" Anna said as she glanced back at them from the door.

"Yes it is too quiet for even a Saturday." Remus said as he looked out the windows in the DADA room.

"Yeah…" Sirius said in agreement as he stood up and walked over to a window and looked out. "No one's out side either…" He said confused.

"Huh? No one out side… Then where is every one?" James asked curiously as he looked between the others. Lily was with Harry in the Library helping him study for his potions class.

"Something's not right…" Anna said opening the door to the class and looked out into the hall. "It's deserted… Where is every one…" She asked confused as she glanced back at the others.

"Hey Anna." Harry said as he took off the invisibility cloak standing less then a foot away from her and Lily behind him.

Anna jumped and screamed lightly hearing some one on the others side of the door she had just said was deserted. "Shit Harry! Damn you're just like your father…" She said and sighed lightly when she realized it was Harry and Lily standing there. "Well James and Sirius…" She said then opened the door enough to let them in.

James and Sirius were both pratically rolling around in the floor laughing at Anna's reaction to Harry and Lily.

"Oy it's not funny he scared the bloody hell out of me…" Anna said in a whining tone as she closed the door back after Lily and Harry had walked into the room.

"What's going on? Why were you two using the invisibility cloak?" Remus asked standing up and walking over to the window. "And where is every one?" He asked confused then looked back over at Lily and Harry.

"We don't know it's like we're the only ones here…" Lily said confused.

"That's when I decided to get my invisibility cloak. It freaked me out seeing no one around." Harry said confused as he held the invisibility cloak over his arm.

"It used to be mine…" James said in a pouty tone as he looked at the invisibility cloak.

"Come off it James we've got a problem here. Come one let's look around and find out what's going on." Anna said pulling out her wand walking back over to the door.

"All right… but do we really need our wands out." Lily asked curiously as she watched Anna.

"Do what you want Lily. Come on Harry I don't want to leave you in here with us not knowing what's going on." Anna said as she cautiously opened the door again looking down the hall.

"Right." Harry said pulling out his own wand and looked over to James, Remus, and Sirius who had done the same and started to walk over to Anna.

"Oh fine…" Lily said and pulled out her wand though she didn't believe she needed it.

Anna walked out into the hall and started down the hall with the others following close behind her. Remus walked up beside her while Lily and Harry walked behind them and Sirius and James behind Harry and Lily watching behind them.

"This is crazy…" Anna said confused as she looked at the empty Great Hall. "The Map Harry do you have it?" She asked hopefully as she looked back at him.

"Er…Yeah I think so…" Harry said looking around in his robes. "Yeah here it is…" He said and smiled and he held it in his hands. 'I solemnly swear I'm up to no good.' He said and tapped the Map lightly with his wand.

"Oy Harry lets see then." James said peering over Harry's shoulder at the Map.

"Er… They're all in the towers. Every one except us…" Harry said confused as every one gathered around him to look at the Map.

"Death Eaters…" Anna said at once. "Bellatrix Lestrange, Lucius Malfoy, Narcissa Malfoy, Peter Pettigrew, Tom…Riddle… Voldemort himself…" She said her eyes widening as she red some of the names on the map.

"Look they're waiting on us to save every one…" James said noticing that no one was moving around in the castle except them. Every one even the death eaters were up in the towers.

"Well every thing has truly began and we're on our own… We need the Order Members. Harry your DA still carries that coin around right…" Sirius asked curiously.

"Yes. They all should." Harry said slightly confused as he looked up at Sirius.

"Good. We'll have more then the Order we'll have a surpirse. The won't expect attacks from student's and Order Members, from both sides." Sirius said triumphantly.

"Right good idea Sirius." Anna said as she looked at Sirius happily.

"Absolutely not." Lily said at once. "Children will not be forced to fight." She said outraged.

"Lily look they choose if they're going to fight. Lay off it. They don't have to if they don't want to. It's the only form of surprise we have." Anna said slightly annoyed as she leaned back to stand up straight.

"Wait some one's coming. Professor Snape…" Harry said and every one looked back down at the Map no one had noticed him not being in the tower.

"Anna… You're safe…" Snape said once he snuck around the corner and froze for a moment realizing he walked into a group of people.

"Back off Snape." Remus snapped as he glared at Snape angrily.

"Not now. Come here Severus. He's in the Order too." Anna said as she glanced around at the others who seemed they'd rather die then work with Snape on anything.

Snape walked over curiously as he glanced around wearily. "We shouldn't be out her in the open every one else is…" Snape said worriedly as he glanced around at the group.

"In the towers we know. Don't worry so are the death eaters they're waiting on us to try and save every one." Anna said as she glanced back down at the map wanting to make sure no one else was out of the towers.

"With all of us together we should be able to get the attention of all the Order." James said as he glared over at Snape angrily.

"Yes, just we have to do the spell at the same time. Harry you don't know it so just stand there I guess…" Anna said and sighed lightly. "We can't teach it right now time is too pressed." She said and looked around at the others.

"Right." Harry said nodding his head lightly as he looked between every one else who was performing some kind of spell holding their wands up in the air towards the ceiling in the Great Hall.

Wizards and Witches from every where stated to appear in Hogsmeade and come onto Hogwarts Ground cautiously. Harry watched the map as the Fred, George, Bill, Percy, Charlie, Molly, and Arthur Weasley all came on to Hogwarts grounds and he smiled lightly.

"What's going on?" Molly said at once as they burst into the front door to see that Anna and the others still performing the spell. This has got to be serious… She thought worriedly as she looked around to see no one but them.

"Wait Tonks is up in the Gryffindor Tower…" Harry said confused she looked like she was running around trying to get out of the tower.

"Yes Harry they're all up there, Dumbledor, McGonagall, Sprout, Pumphree, Flitwick, Hagrid, even the squib is up there except us." Snape said snidely as they all stopped the spell figuring every one was there. That was going to come anyway.

"Oy what's going on?" Fred asked confused then noticed the map and drug George over to it. "Look the map we gave to Harry…" He said then looked at it then up at every one confused.

"Yes Fred, George every thing has begun truly. He's taken Hogwarts now we must take it back…" Anna said grimly as she glanced around at the some 45 Order Members there to fight against about 70 to 80 death eaters not including Voldemort himself.

"This isn't enough…" James said worriedly as he looked around at the Order Members.

"I know that James… But it's all we have besides Harry's DA." Anna said slightly annoyed. "They can find the Order members up there and fight their way down while we're fighting our way up." She said and sighed as she looked around at every one.

Hermione, Ron, Genny, Dumbledore, McGonagall are up in the Gryffindor tower with Bellatrix Lestrange and Lucius Malfoy as the guards to the tower with Voldemort skulking about.

"Dumbledore look quick…" Ron said holding a small coin in his hand out to Dumbledore.

FIND ORDER MEMBERS OR TEACHER'S AND ATTACK! The coin said and Dumbledore looked around to about a half dozen other students holding the same coin.

"DA I presume… Well do it!" Dumbledore said shocking McGonagall as he drew his wand with several students and started using defense spells and charms to knock the Death eaters out. "Student's except DA members stay here. DA follow me!" Dumbledore said then headed out the portrait hole quickly.

McGonagall, Ron, Hermione, Genny and a few other students ran out of the hole after Dumbledore avoiding Voldemort.

Every one that had escaped ran into a line between Order members and Death Eaters and started to help fight them off.

Death Eaters being confused by being attacked from the Order members in front of them then people behind them started to flee. But others stayed.

Some order members had all ready fallen some dead others just stunned. Sirius had been one when he tried to save Harry.

Sirius looked around frantically trying to find Harry, he'd gotten away from them some how.

"Harry… Come on Harry where are you…" Sirius muttered to himself stunning a death eater going after James.

"Stupid little boy!" Sirius heard a death eater yell then turned to see Harry trying to fight off three death eaters.

Sirius turned and started to run over to Harry, stunning a couple of death eaters around him.

James turned to see what was going on when he saw Sirius push Harry down to the floor then land beside him not moving, he'd been hit. With what James didn't know.

James started to panic he saw the death eaters getting closer to Harry and Sirius but neither of them were moving. Was Harry hit too, I should have been there not Sirius! He thought frantically trying to get over to Harry and Sirius.

"Sirius, Harry get up!" Anna yelled noticing several death eaters closing in on him and Harry as she and Remus started over to them.

Lily turned around confused as to what was going on. "Harry!" She screamed then just forgot about fighting and started to run to Harry as fast as she could.

Harry opened his eyes weakly. He could hear people yelling and screaming at him to get up but he couldn't. Harry looked over at Sirius to see him laying beside him covering him slightly to protect him. "Sirius…" He said then looked around for his glasses.

Harry put his glasses on to see several light's flying over him and Sirius, he looked over to see several death eaters fall to the floor unconscious.

"Sirius, Harry…" James said panicked as he slid down on his knees to a stop beside them worriedly. He looked down at Harry and smiled lightly then looked at Sirius and frowned when he saw him still unconscious.

"Dad…" Harry said blinking a few times then saw most of the death eaters running for it in confusion and James picked Harry up holding him close.

"That was bloody briliant Harry… We had them confused and they ran for it." Ron said happily as he smiled at Harry when every thing was safe.

"Good… Dad how's Sirius…" Harry asked as he tried to get out of his father's arms.

"Sirius is fine. He was just hit with a stunning spell." Remus said calmly as he looked over at Harry and smiled lightly. "We won… for now…" He said as he looked around at all the other Order members then Dumbledore.

"Let's get this cleaned up before we let the rest of the students loose." Dumbledore said and sighed lightly as he looked around at every thing.

"How'd they get in Professor?" Lily asked the question every one wanted to know the answer too.

"I truly don't know Lily. It is beyond me on how they got in to this school." Dumbledore said showing every ounce of confusion on his face.

"They're all gone professor." Fred said looking at the map with George beside him.

"Well except the ones unconscious that is." George said as he looked over at the few unconscious death eaters laying around them.

"Did any one get that damn little rat Pettigrew?" James asked as he looked around at the ones he knew, that knew Peter.

"Yeah he's up close to the Gryffindor tower." Ron said please with himself. "We got the bloody traitor." He said and smiled brightly as he pointed between Hermione and himself.

"Well done little brother but he's not up there now…" Fred said glancing at the Gryffindor tower on the Map.

"But I got him. Me and Hermione both… stunned him…" Ron said to say the least shocked.

"Don't worry about it Ron. He was a Marauder so it would be shameful for the little bastard to actually stay down with only underage wizards using a stunning spell on him like that. Sirius on the other hand was hit with more then three stuns by death eaters.." James said worriedly as he looked down at Sirius.

"Come on let's move him to the Hospital wing." Anna said and helped Remus pull Sirius up to his feet.

"You know it's easier to use a spell on him." Lily said and looked at Anna and Remus like they were crazy.

"I think he's had enough spells on him don't you think. Besides Harry needs to go to the hospital wing too. He was unconscious for several minutes too." Anna said as she looked at Harry worriedly.
