Later that day, the order of the Phoenix was called for a meeting. Something which confused them greatly as they were under the impression that Dumbledore was in prison, they all entered the headquarters of the order and took their usual seats and places while waiting for the meeting to start.
"Y'all right?" Harry's voice asked and everyone turned to see Harry sitting where Dumbledore usually sat
"You!" Molly Weasley pointed a finger at him "How dare you..."
"Oh for Merlin's sake!" Mad-eye cursed "Arthur, shut your woman up or so help me..." He left the threat hanging in the air, Arthur quickly fired a silencing charm at Molly before she could respond. She immediately removed it and glared at her husband who just shrugged
"Now that we have our pre-meeting entertainment out of the way" Harry spoke in an amused voice "let's talk business"
"You're not a member of the order!" Molly objected
"Well, not yet" Harry smirked "I think I'd make a pretty good member, don't you agree Miss Bones?"
"I do" Amelia Bones walked into the room, surprising all but Mad-eye who saw her with his magical eye
"W...what is she doing here?" Molly stuttered
"Yes" Lily nodded, not sure what her son had planned but she had the feeling that it would be big "what are you doing here? Not that I'm complaining"
"Unlike that one" James gestured to Molly
"Simple, I'm here to discuss the order with you all" Amelia said "now, I have been aware of your little organisation for quite some time"
"What? How?" One member blurted out
"Dumbledore and you-know-who aren't the only ones who can use spies" Amelia smirked "isn't that correct Alastor, Tonks and Shacklebolt?"
"Yes ma'am" The three nodded
"You were spying?!" Molly screeched, not noticing Kingsley gently lowering Moody's wand arm down to his side
"Yes" Kingsley nodded "Amelia contacted the three of us before Albus reformed the order and had us spy for her"
"How did you even know about the order?" Arthur asked, a bit nervously
"I didn't...at least until he told me" Amelia pointed at Harry who smiled and waved at everyone
"You see, me and Amelia over here" Harry spoke "have an agreement of sorts where we both agree to help each other, now let's discuss your options. As of right now, me and Amelia know all the identities of every member of your little bird club."
"Yes, and needless to say, you are all illegal vigilantes" Amelia spoke, causing many members to tense up
"As for your options" Harry continued "you could try and take out me and Amelia, I wouldn't advise that. She's a skilled witch, I beat both Voldemort and Dumbledore on my own and we also have Moody, Tonks and Shacklebolt on our side"
"Along with us" Sirius said, gesturing to himself, the Potters and Moony
"And them" Harry smiled "your next option is to refuse to cooperate and have Amelia arrest the lot of you. Your next option is to continue working for the order under a new leadership, mine to be precise"
"You want to take over the order?!" Molly screeched "No, I will not let that happen you..." She was cut off by a stunner, from Moody, not that anyone was surprised.
"Now that the harpy is out of the way" Harry continued "what's it going to be? Fight, prison or cooperation? Actually, since we're nice, we're going to offer you a fourth option. Leave the group and vow never to join another vigilante organisation again"
"You can't do that!" One member objected
"Mate" Harry snorted "I'm Harry Bloody Potter. I kill dragons, death eaters and dark lords at any given time and I've mastered magic that many of you could only dream of using. There's much I can't do if I put my mind to it"
"Well said Mr Potter" Amelia nodded "I will be leaving but I will return in a week for your answers and if I don't receive them then I will assume you've chosen to flee and you will be arrested"
"But if you arrest us then we could tell everyone about your offer"
"Another member replied"
"Well, if you survive long enough to do so" Harry's eyes turned yellow and a few members jumped back
"Mr Potter" Amelia sighed
"Fine, spoilsport" Harry turned his eyes back to normal "you do that and you accomplish nothing more than getting more people arrested. We don't need the order to win this war, you'll just make things easier. But if you really force our hand then I'd like to remind you that obliviating is an option and that I will still be able to get to you all when you're in Azkaban. Think about our words" Harry stood up and offered a hand to Amelia "may I accompany you out"
"You may" Amelia took his hand and the two walked out.
