Chapter 5
BACK TO THE ORDER
Harry turned and looked at the person who attacked Krum. It was a short and thin man with a long, black wand. He raised his wand in front of his chest, pointing it at Krum in a menacing posture. Ron and Hermione pulled their wand out at once. Harry put his hand in his pocket, but surprisingly, his movement is hesitating. He was still underage, and he knew no one could help this time.
Two stunning spells flew pass Harry's head. The man laughed loudly and shifted the spell to a cupboard beside him. The cupboard shinned in red lights and broke into pieces. The man laughed again and started to case Cruciatus curses to them. No one seemed to have notice Harry, the one who is out of the battle.
Ron and Hermione cased spells together to the man. The man laughed more loudly. He blocked their spells and waved his wand again. It hit right on Ron's back. He yelled loudly painfully. Suddenly, anger displaced the hesitance in Harry’s mind. He lifted his wand to the man.
‘Petrificus Totalus!’ yelled Harry. His spell broke through the man’s defence, but was still dodged by the man. The man looked at him surprisingly, but that expression soon disappeared.
‘That's more fun.’ laughed the man malignantly, but his smirking face vanished. He looked at Harry threateningly.
‘Avada kedavra!’
‘Crucio!’ shouted a gloomy voice. Harry lowed his head and dodged the killing curse. Krum was standing behind him, waving his wand with anger. He shot jet and jets of lights to the man. The man was forced back. But then Harry knew they were all dark magic.
‘Avada kedavra!’ two jets of green light crashed in the air, both of them step backward. Krum looked tired. Harry looked at Hermione and nodded, the knew they have to help. Krum could not win by his own.
Everyone started to attack the man. Harry wondered who he is. He had fought with loads of death eaters, but none of them was like this. The man can dodge their spell easily, even the most evil curse by Krum. He did not know that someone who can fight like this, except Dumbledore and Voldemort, but how a death eater can fights like this. He could know what they will case and block it before they case the spell out. Four of them were just like toys in his hand; no one could even touch him.
‘Stupefy!’ shouted Harry, but the man cased the same spell without a sound. Harry was knocked down by it. The man laughed and dodged Harry’s spell. Harry fell down and fell in a faint.

‘Mr.Potter.’ said a sinister voice. ‘You and your friends were all caught by me. Dark Lord will be happy about this.’
‘You're a death eater?’
‘Certainly.’ said the man proudly. ‘The best one Dark Lord has ever had. The one who killed Harry Potter.’
‘But why are you here?’
‘I escaped from the ministry’s pursuing after the night you took Dark Lord away from us. I tried to kill all the betrayers, but Snape is under Dumbledore's protect. I couldn’t find a chance to do it.’ continued the man. ‘My next target is Karkaroff, but I couldn’t find Durmstrang. Schools are all hidden safely. I felt depressed; I really want to punish the guy who betrayed us.’
‘But my chance came.’ said the man. ‘Dark Lord returned and sent me to here, to kill that idiot Karkaroff, but I was trapped in the diary with dark magic. Everyone who touches the diary, except this boy.’ He stopped and pointed at Krum. ‘Will faint. After he touched the diary, the spell will be lifted.’
‘But isn't he dead? How can the spell-’
‘It is dark magic, kid. You cannot understand it. Have any more questions?’ asked the man, waving his wand in front of Harry’s face. Harry tried to get his wand, but the only thing he touched was a shinny tube. Strange beeping sound issue from the tube. Harry stared at it. He did not know he put anything like this in his pocket.
‘Looks like you can't find your wand.’ said the man jeeringly. ‘Am I right, kid?’ he busted into laughter. Harry glared at him.
‘No question? Then it's my turn now.’ said the man viciously. ‘Who do you want me to kill first? Which one of your silly friends?’
‘Why do you-’
‘To let you feel sorry for your friends before your death. When I count to three, give me an answer, or someone will…Ha! Ha! Ha!’ Harry looked at his friends sadly. They were stunned. They have just begun their trip to destroy Voldemort, and they did not even have a hint yet.
‘Three. Two.’ counted the man. ‘One!’ Harry closed his eyes. He did not want to look at it.
‘Avada kedavra!’ shouted the man. Harry looked down sadly, he didn’t want to see anything.
‘Who do you want me to kill next?’ laughed the man. Harry ignored him. There will be no differences. He will be with them soon.
‘Aha! The girl!’ said the man, looking at Harry. Harry looked down to the ground.
‘Goodbye, Hermione.’ said Harry sadly. He stared at her silently. ‘Bye.’
‘Avada keda-’
A jet of red light shot to the man's back. The man looked backward with a strange smile and fell down. Harry turned back, two familiar men walked to them. Harry could not see their faces clearly in the dark light, but could tell that one of them might be about the same age with him. The tall man walked forward and lowed his wand to Ron and Hermione, they soon opened their eyes.
‘Professor Lupin!’ yelled Hermione surprisingly. ‘Why are you-’
‘Talk about it later.’ said Lupin calmly. He walked to Krum and lour at him. Ron and Hermione looked at each other, wondering what happened to him.
‘Dead.’ said Lupin. ‘Leave him here. It's time to go.’
‘I've brought the portkeys, professor.’ said a voice behind him, taking out some silver things from his pocket.
‘Neville!’ yelled Ron happily. ‘Why are you here?’
‘We've got the message from Fred and we came to here.’ said Neville excitedly. ‘Most of the DA's wanted to come, but profess-’
‘Enough, Neville.’ said Lupin. ‘Mad-eye will come if we went back to late. We had better get back quicker. Use the portkey.’ Harry look at the portkeys. He knew which one was his at the first sight, it was a model of a lightning.
‘Turn to number one and press the button.’ said Lupin again. Everyone turned the turntable to number one and pressed the small button on top of it. The portkey started to pull them, pulling them.

They were now in a room full of shinny things. It was a room full of silver portkeys. The one next to them is a sliver eye with the golden name “Moody” on it. Harry looked at other’s portkey and found out Hermione’s was a book, Lupin’s was a moon. Harry smiled and looked at Ron’s. Ron had thrown it on the ground. It’s a-
‘Spider!’ yelled Ron angrily. ‘Who made this?’
‘I don't like mine’s shape too.’ said Lupin. ‘But I think that there's no need to ask that.’
‘Fred and George.’ muttered Ron.
‘Correct.’ said Lupin. ‘They are really useful to the order. They like to create, and most of their inventions are quite useful. Though they always tried to make them as funny as they could.’
‘What going on in the order?’ asked Harry. ‘Have any information about Voldemort?’
‘We had a lot of meeting. We voted for the new leader, and I was chosen.’ said Lupin. ‘And we've got no information about the death eaters.’
‘Professor, Mrs.Wesley is calling us.’ said Neville.
‘I heard it.’ said Lupin. ‘She's just calling us for dinner. Go in there and tell her I have something important to tell Harry.’ Neville walked out of the room.
‘We've got an army under you, Harry.’ continued Lupin after Neville went out of the room. ‘Most of them are your old friends.’
‘DA?’ asked Ron.
‘Certainly.’ said Lupin.
‘It is too dangerous.’ said Harry worriedly. ‘I can't-’
‘You must learn to trust them. It's important.’
‘I do. But-’
‘They will all be honored to fight for you, even sacrifice.’ said Lupin seriously. ‘It isn’t easy to find friends like this.
‘Fine.’ said Harry. ‘They can help us.’
‘Harry!’ said Hermione reproachfully. ‘We can't-’
‘We can.’ said three voices firmly. Luna, Ginny and Dean were standing at the door. ‘We are glad to hear that, Harry.’ Hermione sighed.
‘It’s over then.’ said Lupin, yawning. ‘Use the Galleons that DA used to use. Perhaps it should be called “HA” now.’ Everyone laughed and walked downstairs with Lupin.

Smells of roasted beef and steamed shrimps flew into everyone’s noses. Ron was putting food into his mouth as though his was drinking. Hermione was talking with Ginny on the other side of the table. Harry stood at his seat. He wondered how the man foresees his spell. There must be something wrong in his magic, something that he must overcome.
‘Harry, why don't you eat?’ asked Mrs.Weasley at the back. Harry put the fried chicken in his mouth promptly. Mrs.Weasley smiled and sat down. After food filled Harry’s stomach. He and Lupin began to talk.
‘Professor, I found out that someone can know what spell that I’m going to use before I case it.’
‘I’m not a professor. Call me Remus or Lupin.’ said Lupin. ‘But if the thing you said is true. You better practice-’
‘Occlumency.’ said Harry. ‘Is there another way?’
‘That’s the best way.’ said Lupin. ‘Or nonverbal spells.’
‘Right, can you teach me?’
‘Yes, maybe, but not now.’ He threw three books to Harry. ‘These are the best books you can find about them, written by an old friend of Dumbledore. If you have questions, go and ask Hermione. She has great understandings with books.’ Harry smiled and looked at them. Allen Chen wrote them all.
‘I've seen his name on the Advanced Transfiguration!’
‘He is the best writer of advanced magic books. But it is really hard to find his books, because rare people can understand it.’
‘I will try to read them.’ said Harry.
‘And the Diary.’ added Lupin. He stood up and left the table. ‘Follow me, Harry.’ Harry followed him to the room that Sirius used to kept witherwings. Lupin waved his wand and two chairs appeared in the middle of the room.
‘Sit down.’ said Lupin. ‘Harry, we knew that you're the only person who can kill Voldemort-’
‘How do you know that?’ asked Harry.
‘It's too simple. Dumbledore never told us to attack him. We just try to spoil his plans or protect lives.’ He stopped and looked at Harry. ‘Don't worry, only me and Mcgonagall know it.’
‘Thanks.’
‘Tell the DAs what to do and tell them why. ’ said Lupin. ‘We'll make sure that they are ready at every moment and give information to you. Use Sirius’ mirror, its much safer than other things.’
‘You got something wrong, professor. I am still in the order.’ said Harry. ‘What else can the order do?’
‘Again, I'm not a professor. And, though we can't kill Voldemort, How about the death eaters?’ said Lupin, and laughed loudly with Harry.

Moonlights shine on Harry’s bed. Ron was already asleep. He opened the Tips of Occlumency from Lupin. Lupin was right; he could not understand most of the words. He closed the book and yawned. The picture of his parents is at the head of his bed, both smiling at him. Harry took off his glasses.
‘I'll ask Hermione to teach me tomorrow.’ He told himself, and put his head under his pillow.
A loud ringing interrupted Harry’s dream. Sounds of foot stepping ran up and down the stairs. He pulled his wand out and put on his overcoat. It must be the alarm bell of the order. He opened the door and find Lupin standing there.
‘Find your portkey!’ he yelled. ‘Mad-eye! Kingsley! Arthur! To the front door! Tonks! Mcgonagall! Lead the rest to that place!’
‘What’s going on?’ asked Ron tiredly, as Hermione running to them.
‘Snape is now leading the death eaters to here.’ said Lupin. ‘Leave, Harry! Number two with the portkey!’
‘How?’ asked Hermione.
‘He used the time before we changed our new secret-keeper. Leave!’
‘We’ll stay.’ said Harry firmly. Ron and Hermione nodded behind him. Lupin stared at them for a second, and finally nodded. They walked down to the door. Moody, Kingsley and Mr.Weasley were already there.
‘Be quite, they are almost here.’ said Moody. ‘We can't leave before everyone left.’ Everyone lifted their wand, ready for everything that might happen.
A loud, detestable voice came through the door. Anger suddenly ran in Harry’s body like boiling water. Moody’s eyes turned a circle quickly at the door.
‘Aha! I saw the silly door of the order.’ said Snape. ‘Right there.’
‘About fifteen death eaters and over twenty Inferi.’ said Moody in a low voice. ‘Easy to handle.’
‘Colloportus.’ whispered Harry and Hermione at the same time. The door issued a small sound and was locked by the spell. Lupin gave them a well-done gesture on the back.
‘Its locked.’ said a voice outside, turning the knob. ‘Alohomora!’ but nothing happened.
‘Looks like you really needed to practice your skill at charms.’ mocked Snape. ‘It's too simple to unlock it. Avada kedavra!’ The door was burnt in ashes at once.
Moody and Mr.weasley waved theirs wand. Snape and two death eaters were knocked back. Harry looked at Ron and Hermione, running out to the Inferi, waving their wand and set fires on them. Eight death eaters, surrounded Lupin and Kingsley, but the death eaters could not get closer to them. Mr.Weasley was fighting against two death eaters; both of them were now forced backward and backward. Moody stunned two death eaters, walking slowly to Snape, but Snape Apparited away.
Harry, Ron and Hermione had repelled all the inferi. They ran back to the door. Lupin was now fighting with a giant death eater. The death eater shot and shot killing curses to him, but were all dodged by Lupin. Lupin twisted and shot a spell to him. He looked at Lupin loathingly and fell down. Moody glared at the rest of death eaters. They looked scared and dropped their wand. One of them still did not surrender. He jumped up and tried to kill Mr.Weasley with all his might. Mr.Weasley sighed and froze his body.
‘Always sent idiots to us.’ said Moody disdainfully.
‘I agree.’ said Kingsley. ‘They look too low of us.’
‘Talk about it later.’ said Mr.weasley. ‘Molly might have already finished cooking dinner.’

‘I agree.’ said Lupin, as everyone took out their portkey. ‘Number two, Harry.’
