Cherreads

Chapter 59 - CH.59

"Yeah, worse part was he was just trying to get away. I think he thought that we might have been with the one who attacked him." Kingsley guessed. "I can't help but wonder what he could have done if he actually tried to fight us."

"Yes, well I think that..." Dumbledore was cut off by the sound of screaming from outside the door. Everyone pulled their wands out as more screams followed.

"Um...are we expecting anyone?" Tonks asked, wand in her hand along with all of the other order members. It didn't help anyone's nerves when there was more screaming.

"Wands ready everyone." Dumbledore said, everyone aimed their wands at the door.

The door blasted opened and a stunner shot into the room, one order member managed to block it but fell to the second stunner that came after her.

"You fucker have got all of five seconds to stand down before I come in and wreck all of you!" One voice shouted.

"Wait...Harry?!" Sirius called. "Harry is that you?!" Sirius shouted.

"Sirius?!" Harry's voice replied. "The fuck are you doing here?!"

"This is my house, what are you doing here?!"

"I followed some people here!"

"Wands down!" Sirius said to the order members. "Wands down now!"

"Wands down everyone." Dumbledore nodded and everyone listened before lowering their wands.

"Harry come in." Sirius called. After a few moments Harry did come in, though he kept his wand up and ready. The order could not help but notice the bruise on his left cheek and his cut lip. There was sweat rolling down his face and his hair laid down flat.

"My goodness!" Molly gasped when she saw the state of him.

"Tonks, Moony, Dumbledore and a couple of other people I know. What the fuck are you all doing here?" Harry asked as he lowered his wand but kept it in his hand.

"This is the headquarters for the order of the phoenix." Dumbledore explained.

"The what?" Harry asked, a confused look on his face. Tonks gave him a grateful look and a small wink for not revealing that she told him.

"I am sure Sirius will explain it to you later but first I need to know what happened." Dumbledore replied.

"I was at home, next thing I know my house is on fire and I am getting attacked. I fight the guy who did it and then he runs away, next thing I know those two are there..." Harry gestured to Moody and Kingsley. "...I didn't know who they were so I ran and they chased me."

"Potter, are you really so stupid to forget that that is Alastor Moody?" Snape sneered.

"Snape, you virgin for life, are you really so stupid as to forget that a death eater had impersonated him for a year?" Harry said, glaring at the potions master. "It didn't ever go into your feeble mind that it was possible for him to have more polyjuice and a few hairs left over? I wasn't about to risk the possibility of being taken by him and a bunch of people I didn't know."

"Constant vigilance." Moody said in a soft yet approving voice. "Well done lad, I don't really like it but well done."

"Thanks," Harry said before turning to Snape. "Of course why should I expect a dunderhead like you to know basic rules for survival when you haven't even managed basic hygiene or social skills?"

"Don't talk to me like that Potter!" Snape said, pulling out his wand.

"Bring it Snivellus!" Harry said as he and Sirius quickly aimed their wands at Snape.

"Enough!" Dumbledore shouted. "Wands down now." He ordered, Snape was the first to lower his wand followed by Sirius then a very reluctant Harry. Dumbledore was about to say more when the sounds of groaning and moaning.

"What is that?" Remus asked.

"Oops." Harry said sheepishly, running a hand through his hair.

"Blimey Harry!" Tonks exclaimed when she looked through the open door to find seven order members in the hallway on the floor in pain along with a damaged ceiling. "You did all that?!" She asked, looking very impressed.

"It wasn't really that hard." Harry shrugged, sounding almost disappointed while a couple of order members went out to deal with them.

"Harry Potter! What is that on your hand?!" Molly Weasley demanded as she pointed to Harry's left hand.

"I believe it is called a tattoo Mrs Weasley." Harry said in a dry voice before he turned to Sirius. "What do you think?" Harry asked as he showed it him.

"Is...is that..." Sirius trailed off as he looked at it.

"Yep." Harry smiled.

"It's nice." Sirius smiled back, fighting off the tears that threatened to come out of his eyes.

"You are far too young to have a tattoo!" Mrs Weasley said with obvious disapproval.

"I was also far too young to save your daughter, remember that?" Harry countered, raising an eyebrow.

"Mrs Weasley is right Harry," Dumbledore said while Mrs Weasley struggled to come up with a response. "if you really desired one then you should have waited until you were of age."

"I am of age." Harry replied.

"Harry you are not seventeen."

"No, but you remember when I was put in the Tri-Wizard tournament against my will, I do. I had a meeting with the goblins, say what you want about the little buggers but they know how all the laws and rules work. Long story short I was placed in a tournament for those of age and forced to compete by magic, meaning I could be considered of age. I filed for emancipation and now I am by all rights a legal adult. Which means I can do all things legal adults can do, including getting a tattoo."

"When did you get the other one?" Moody asked.

"What other one?" Remus asked.

"I hate that eye." Harry said before he rolled up his right sleeve. A few people gasped when they saw a snake tattoo wrapped around his arm. The head of the snake stopped on the back of Harry's wrist while the tail stopped at his elbow. Harry briefly felt tempted to have Selena change back and stop being a tattoo but he stopped himself, he wasn't ready to risk her life just to scare them.

"Harry, why would you get that?" Dumbledore asked, looking at the tattoo as if it was a dark mark.
