Setting up the defenses

Jess nodded and conjoured up a camping chair. "Right, well i've already been around the castle putting up defensive spells every night for awhile now, so i've got mine up, i suppose it's just a matter of waiting now," Jess said, sitting down and summoning an umbrella

Jaqueine walked down to were she had been told to meet Jack at her side latly she did not go any where unless he came too. She had begun to feel comfortable with him around. And with this happening she needed him close by. Her memorys had slowly trickled back and she knew he could come in handy.
"sorry we're late headmaster " she said walking up her hand held tight in Jacks. She saw others had arrived before them and nodded to each in turn acknologing there presance. She felt Jack give a light squeeze to let her know he was still there and feeling abit out of place since he was ministry and not order. Turning she smiled to him giving him a light hug before turning back to the headmaster and waiting for orders.

Jack moved down the path with Jessica he had felt more like his old self since being given the time off to be with her. But he also felt she needed it , the comfort of having him close. He felt that in the fact she now held his hand as they walked. Something she had never done in the past. He smiled down at ehr as they walked to where sevral other teachers waitied including Dumbledoor.
"must be bad" he thought to himself as he looked around. he gave ehr hand a light squeeze just to let her know he was still close. but could not help but smile as she gave him a hug another thing she had started to do but it was somthing he did not mind as he loved the closeness it brought her to him. "Evening everyone" he said his voice soft.

Topher arrived at the destination in which he was told to go. For an Order mission. He may have been a bit late, for there were already quite a few members there. "Hey all, sorry that I am late, just had some...issues..." he said drifting off. "But I am here now, full mind ready to work!" he said with great ambition

"No one's late," Jess said warmly, walking forward and adressing his order members. "Ok, so our job tonight is to secure the castle, especially the boundary of the Forbidden Forest, as it's the castle's weakest point. Unless there is an urgent need to, no order members are permitted to enter the castle, the only exceptions being if a DE is found, or something goes seriously wrong, this is something i am 100% sure of. So, i thank you all for turning up, i'm not sure what's happening leader wise, but as i said, the basic job is to monitor the perimeter, and to put up protective spells." Jess said before turning to Shackelbolt. "So, headmaster. What's happening, am i taking the order, or are you taking it, or are we just merging them together and controlling both?" Jess asked, deciding the needed to sort a proper plan out

jessica stood listening as a clap of thunder echod around her she huddled into Jack , she had hated the storms since that day she had returned somthing in the fury battled memorys that lay deep in the receses of her mind. her arms slipping around Jack as she held him tight against the elaments that now seemed to turn against them.

Jack held on to her as he listened to the others in the group , his arm finding its was around Jessica as he felt her move to cling to him he glanced down and smiled reasuringly at her as he felt her jump at the boom. he did not speack instead taking in all that was said and agreeing with shankelbolt.

Francesca pulled her jacket tighter around her as she approached the group. She hoped she wasn't very late. Francesca had only just recieved news of the order mission ten minutes ago so she hadn't had much time to get ready. She smiled at the group and greeted the members.

An oilskin was pretty much the required uniform of anyone who claimed to be a gamekeeper, so Coraline strode up the hill with water reflecting off the hood of her coat and being deflected at awkward angles onto the scenery around her. Just because she owned an oilskin didn't mean she was about to get drenched for the look of the thing.

"What's the deal?" she asked as she arrived at the top of the hill.

Coraline knew the deal. They supposedly needed to reinforce the defences around the school. This made Coraline wary. Shacklebolt ought to have sufficient defences erected already, and if he didn't, the children oughtn't be attending the school.

Having studied at Hogwarts while it was under the guiding hand of Minerva McGonagall, Coraline was more than a little wary of this new headmaster, who had almost certainly spent too much time in the alchemy lab.

Fortunately the young Potter lad was speaking, so Corrie didn't have to think about the insane man any longer than necessary.
