Order meeting #3

Jess checked his watch before grinning. He was quite disappointed that Matt wasn't going to be there for his first meeting back. Of course, he'd seen everyone, but he was eager to see how his friend handled the reins of the Order. Well, it was ok, he supposed. He knew what he was doing, and he knew what he had to do today.

So, without much thought into it, his patronus burst out of his wand and flew out through the hallway and off to visit all of the order members.

He checked his watch again. Nodded. And then began to boil some water for his tea.

Jack shouldn't be here.

She knew that. She, as the new spy in the Death Eaters, should have been putting more distance between herself and the Order. Her plan was to try and do that tonight, but she first had to make sure Nemo would be taken care of, would be rescued soon.

No one knew. Only Matt knew that it was she that would be getting the Dark Mark tattooed to her as she pretended to have a change of heart. If she didn't cut ties with the Order, the Death Waters were force her to give them information. She had to make it seem as though she had had a change of heart, left the Order and walked into the arms of her enemies.

She arrived at Grimmauld Place after receiving the patronus at home, only a tad surprised to see Jess Potter there and not Matt. She knew the latter had come down with a bad case of this Welsh Itch. "Hello Jess," she said, finding a seat. "I hope you're well."

It was a strange greeting for the always pepped-up, angry, whirlwind of a woman she was. But Jack was tired, and her roommate was gone. She didn't have the heart for much.

It seemed like he hadn't been doing much here at all. Between work and other personal affairs, he couldn't even remember the last meeting he attended ... if he even had at all. It was sad, that he was in the Order yet he hadn't done anything to help them. Well, sort of.

He was trying to make it all a priority though. He needed to get more involved, Jake couldn't just stand by and watch things happen. That was why he had joined in the first place. There had to be a way he could do something helpful. Of course for that to happen, he needed to actually interact with the other members.

That's why when he received the patronus, Jake didn't even bother to clean up his work space at home and he just left for Grimmauld Place. When he arrived he was a bit surprised to see that barely anyone was there. Just Jack and Jess. He wondered where Matt was briefly before he shrugged it off.

Damon walked in Grimmauld Place with his hair messed up wearing a pair of loose and long grey pants with a black top. He yawned coming into the meeting as he started making coffee and then grabbed some milk as well as sugar. Leaning against the counter he waited for the coffee, he wondered what this meeting would be about and how heated the conversations would get. He only hoped that what was discussed today would let him be more active seeing as he has been bored everyday. Looked over that the others were there and recognized their faces but couldn't recall their names which was a first for him. He yawned once more then looked, seeing that the coffee was done he grabbed a coffee cup then poured a good measure of milk and sugar then stirred it. Damon then looked around in the cupboards and found some vanilla then poured some in his cup. He sat down at the table and sipped at his drink then waited for the meeting to start so he could figure out what it was about.

Martin. Back from a serious injury and feeling ready to get back to action walked in Grimmauld Place for his first meeting with the Order for a long time. Shy as usual, Martin walks in looking for someone and goes straight to the kitchen. When he gets there he gets quite admired when he sees Jess instead of Matt there and only after that he notices that there are some other members there. He greets everyone with a "Hi!" (which bursted out louder than what he wanted to). And then, talking to Jess he says "Long time no see... glad to be back." And he didn't know that it was Jess's first meeting back. Didn't even know why the reason of it being a meeting back for Jess. Like him, Martin was apart of them for a long time so the information that reached him wasn't the more accurate.
He checked his pocket for his necklace and after seeing it was there he sat on a chair on the end of the big table in the kitchen thinking on the subject of the meeting.

James landed his motorbike outside the headquarters, looking around for Sawyer, but didn't see him waiting. Knowing that Sawyer would have a hard time getting into Grimmauld without him, it was safe to say that the man would not already be inside.

Feeling a tad lonely, as he had left Doom to watch the Bones' Manor, James leaned against his motorbike and crossed his arms; waiting for Sawyer to arrive.

Sawyer had been forwarded the message by James, for which he was glad. Sawyer had been in the Order before he had left the country, so he knew the place, but he doubted arriving on his own would look very good. Knowing the Order and its bounty of new graduates, he doubted anyone would recognize him beyond the old crew.

He let Walrus out and patted Darla, who serenely chewed on some of the oats he had left out for her. "I'll be back soon, sweetie," he crooned to the deer, his oldest friend, before apparating.

He appeared outside Grimmauld Place and was glad to see James waiting. "Hey, mate," Sawyer said, looking agreeable. "Ready to cause an uproar?"

Whight arrived at the designated time and not a second later. As he walked through the house he noticed a few familiar faces but also some unfamiliar ones as well. As he had begun seeing all the faces of the room, Whight wondered where their leader Matthew was. Perhaps he too had been injured in the chaos the Death Eaters had caused.

Whight noticed Jack had already arrived. He hadn’t seen her since Diagon Alley and he wondered how she was doing and if there was any new lead on her friend; he would have to ask later. Until then, he made himself comfortable and waited for the rest to arrive taking in the sight of the new faces of the Order member for later use. He hoped that this meeting would go smoothly and that he would actually learn something of use from it. Whight was getting tired of toying about.

Kingsley Shacklebolt had always found weekends at Hogwarts to be quite boring. Indeed, after having been on the run for several years, being a headmaster in general was quite dull. So he was rather pleased, and surprised, when he saw Jess' patronus waiting in his office. Shacklebolt did not need an explanation, he knew what that meant. Generally, kingsley did not leave Hogwarts unless it was extremely urgent, but he was reasonably sure that being away for an hour would do no harm. Something told him that this meeting would be quite important.

Apparating to Grimmauld Place, Kingsley stopped and looked at Jess for a second upon entering the meeting room. He knew that Jess would be here, as he had recognized the patronus but it seemed like Matt wasn't around, and Jess had resumed leadership because of that. Could it be that Matt had also been kidnapped? He hadn't heard anything about that, but it wasn't like the news was ever reliable and Kingsley was not in any constant contact with any of the order members. Still, there was no point in jumping to conclusions, they had to deal with the facts, and everyone here knew that the Death Eaters were getting a move on. "Nice to see you Potter," Shacklebolt said with a curt nod in Jess' direction before taking his seat.

"As ready as I always am," James replied to Sawyer, letting out a reluctant grin.

Order meetings always caused James to be uptight, a characteristic which Sawyer rarely saw in his cousin. Peeling off his gloves and shoving them in his leather jacket, James strode up to Sawyer and gripped his hand in a brotherly shake.

"The address is Number 12 Grimmauld Place," James murmured into Sawyer's ear as he gripped his hand, so that Sawyer would be able to see the place.

James waited a few moments for recognition of the new building appearing between 11 and 13 to appear on Sawyer's face, then grasped his cousin by the shoulder briefly before letting go and leading the way to the door. It was good to have Sawyer there. Someone whom he trusted, and he knew would be there to back him up...or vis-versa.

James entered Order Headquarters, and made his way towards the room where they held their meetings. He paused as he saw a Patronus pacing up and down the hallway. James continued on to the meeting room, vaguely curious, as he could not recall knowing anyone with that particular Patronus. Seeing Jess, James entertained a sudden hope that perhaps this meeting would go a bit better than the last.

"I brought a friend sympathetic to our cause," James announced as he entered the room, moving to the side so that everyone could see Sawyer, "Meet Sawyer Weasley, my cousin, and Charlie Weasley's son."
