Order Meeting #1

Khaat got up and went to the man on the floor. She recognized the face. He had been with them when some of the battles on Gellert Grindelwald had gone down. He had been a fairly new auror back then. What the devil was his name?

"Someone send a patronus to my father," Khaat said, as she worked. His vital signs were unstable. She laid her hand on his forehead and began to try to stabiize him, but it might take a bit of time. And she needed more hands.

"I've got it," MIchael said. He went to the window and fire a patronus out the kitchen window. Then he accio'd towels and washcloths. Kate got up from the table and she helped Michael to begin to clean him up a bit. It was easier to see injuries if one could at least get past the dirt and grime.

Robert and Brian were meeting about security issues when Brian saw the patronus flash across the sky.

"Gotta go," he pointed. Robert looked.

"Grimmauld," Robert said, getting a rusty key out of his pocket. They ported to Grimmauld and entered the kitchen. They saw the man on the floor and went to help at once. He looked at Khaat. "Keep him stable. Brian and I will do the rest. We need to get him to St. Mungos as soon as possible."

"Can't you guys ever start a meeting in some sort of a normal way? Like the rest of the world does?" Brian asked while he worked. "Jeesh."

"When we get him stable, you and Angus deliver him," Robert said. "The healers on duty will admit him and take it from where we leave off."

Jack watched all the new members enter. Louis was there. The boy was tedious, but he had good intentions, so when he spoke to her, Jack could not help but at least tip her head. Besides, she had heard rumors of him briefly taking up her job as leader of Potter's Army. She knew the stress and had to acknowledge the remarkable occurrence of his surviving the job.

Another newcomer was Elijah Krum. Jack's insides squirmed. She could not look at him without thinking of Chase, and to think of Chase made Jack's world crumble and shake. She looked away and focused on Kate, watching the woman who had helped her while Jack served her punishment.

So intent she was, she did not see Silvyr enter, but heard him. She turned and watched the following action, when she suddenly recognized the man. "Hey! That's Silvyr Svan." Where the hell had he been?

Sophia had just gotten home from a crazy but normal day at St. Mungo's as a patronus came through her window telling her there was a Order meeting. Getting up from her seat she went to change before apperating to an alleyway behind Number 12, Grimmauld Place. Sophia had to admit, it been awhile since she been here but it was still as she remembered it. Appearing in the dark alleyway Sophia walked around the corner to the Grimmauld Place as her black cloak whipped behind her. Standing in front of Number 12, Grimmauld Place Sophia took a deep breath and walked up to the front door and pushed it opened.

Walking quietly down the hall Sophia entered where everyone was at and smiled at them. "Hello Matt, long time no see how are you?"Sophia asked him softly as she looked around the place. Nothing really changed that much, still the same members that she remembered. But as she looked around some more she seen Elijah Krum her eyes narrowed at him and her lips pursed at him.

Ah, Grimmauld Place. Its run-down façade reminded Melinda of home. Not her literal home, no. Although it was rather depressing that she thought of a school for delinquent children as her spiritual resting place.

As soon as her foot wandered over the threshold the sounds of chaos began to beat against her eardrums. A constant companion, chaos arrived anywhere Melinda went just moments before she did; always ready to welcome her.

The noise guided her down the hallway to the kitchen, where the large dining table was dominated by a shirtless man being worked on by two of the wizarding world's finest and most recognisable healers. The Lupin family had fine reputations nowadays, but Melinda remembered when Remus Lupin (god rest his soul) had been a snot faced brat, werewolf or no, and she didn't trust that family.

"I appear to have missed the party," she observed, jamming her hat more firmly in place and securing it with the hat pins she kept about at all times in case a wand wasn't enough.

"I assume this poor fellow has come up worst in the battle with this mysterious illness. By chance do you medical people have a name for it yet? I cannot tell you how fed up I am with hearing it called mysterious. Surely we can settle on calling it a plague or else a curse at the very least?"

Khaat looked up to see a woman coming in. She appeared to know her father already. Khaat didn't recall ever meeting her. Evidently, it had been a long time since she had been back in Grimmauld. Khaat appreciated having senior wizards present in the meetings. They often brought not only valuable history but considerable wisdom about magic. It was nice to see the table so full again.

"Hello, Melinda," Robert said, continuing to work. "I do have a name for it now, but the illness does not appear to be the worst of his issues." They worked a moment longer. And then Robert straightened himself. "Brian, can you and Angus manage to transport him with the dog to St. Mungos and get him admitted? They can finish what we cannot from here."

"I will go and see to him as soon as the meeting is over," Khaat said. Brian and Angus got to their feet. Angus summoned the dog. When Angus and Brian had Swan and the dog, they ported to St. Mungos to take their patient to be admitted.

Robert and Khaat stood up, and Robert flicked his wand at the mess left on the floor, to set a charm to clean it up. Then he returned to the table.

"Our apologies, Matt," Robert said. "Can we get to business now, please?"

Louis saw all the people enter. It was like his first day in Potters Army, he had started from the low. And kept working to get higher up. And as he graduated he wasn't supported by school anymore. He had to work, make a living. He was lucky that he had even gotten a job as an Auror. Well... Joining the Order had made Louis on bottom again. Louis shrugged it off. Waiting for the meeting to begin.

Louis looked at them and sat down.

((Soz for the short post.))

Damon got dressed into a pair of jeans with a black t-shirt. He threw on his cloak as he walked out of his apartment then apparated to Grimmauld place. Walking up to the house he began yawning hoping that they had coffee made. He opened the door letting himself in taking off his cloak in the process. He headed down to the kitchen pulling out a chair to sit down in, "Sorry if i'm late. I overslept." He said yawning again.

Matt nodded at Robert and took his place back at the head of table. After putting his suit jacket back on he looked around at everyone. He was a little nervous, especially after what had just happened. Taking a quick glance down at his notes he cleared his throat and smiled.

"Hello everyone, uhm, I'm not too sure how many of you recognize me." he began to speak. Looking at Jack, Robert, and Khaat. "But I'm Matthew Lestrange and I will be running the meeting under the request of Jess Potter." he told everyone. He took his suit and motioned for everyone to do so as well. It felt very weird being this formal but he figured it worked.

"Now, let's get this meeting underway!" he said. "First off does anybody have any news about the recent Death Eater stirrings?" he asked.

Mariana was informed by a patronus about this meeting on time though she barely managed to finish with all the patients in the hospital wing, and those translated to St.Mungo's in time and was on her way through the door after leaving another nurse in charge. The coughs were becoming more unbearable by day, but she ignored them and continued her day while she could function well enough.

Even though she was late, while walking through the corridor, she heard Matt's last question or the part of his speech anyway. "Everything i heard of in the last i stopped counting how many days have nothing to do with death eaters, They're probably stirring with this cursed desease just like we are doing." she said as her first words when she entered. Three seconds later she realized how rude that was.

"And hello everybody.." she added giving a significant look to Matt who she didn't see for a great deal of time. Jess did not surprise her by his absence, he was probably busy elsewhere like most of the people today anyway...
