First Meeting. // Order Members Only//

[markoyz]

[OOC: I hope it's okay that I started this post. ]




It was almost close to midnight when Markoyz made his way to toward Order head quarters. He only thought it was right that a meeting be called with the recent incidents and rumors that were rushing towards the Ministry. The concern of the magical worlds as well as the Magical institutions grew and with Markoyz being the Hogwarts Liaison as well as a Ministry official, he only thought it be right to hold a meeting. The house had been slightly more dustier than normal and everything seemed to still be intact.

He stood next to a window and flicked his wand and whispered, "Expecto Patronum." With this said a smoke emitted from the tip of his wand that soon formed a body of an animal. A phoenix who's wings were larger than normal. "Go and gather everyone and bring them here ASAP. No matter what time it is where they are they must be brought here!" He said to his patronus as he waited for everyone to either apperate there or travel by broom. Of course he knew that it was only natural for the order members to apperate just outside the building and walk in. Some took floo powder and others just did the normal apperate straight into the building.

He stood there and watched as his pale baby blue patronus float away softly but fast as it vanished into the corner of the horizon and away into the sky to look like a common start just above him. "This place could use a little fix." He said as he flicked his wand to light the tip of his wand and slowly lowered his arm. Here he watched the furniture place itself in the correct area and watch as everything broken be repaired and the house being dust free. All that was left was the other order members which were due to arrive soon.

[Nymphadora "Tonks" Lupin]

Tonks had seen the patronus while she was lounging about guarding Hogwarts. Luckily no one was watching with her at the moment. If so, she would've had to shoo it away. She apperated to just outside the door and tripped on the top step, she caught herself before falling and opened the door, she noticed the lights were on and things were slightly cleaner then the last time she'd been in there. "Hello?" she called.

She stepped inside, it wasn't good to linger on doorsteps. She walked to where they held the last meeting and tripped over the same umbrella rack and let out a squeak of pain from stubbing her toe. "Ouch! Oh I'm supposed to be quiet, I keep on doing this shut up Dora!" she whisper yelled at herself.

[Remus John Lupin]

It was late at night, and Remus was resting up, since it was a week and 4 days until the full moon. He was not looking forward to it. But of course he was still safe, or as much as he could for another 4 days at least, and the week before the full moon his senses were heightened and his emotions were on the rampage. Which is why some people called it his 'time of the month', for obvious reasons.

Remus woke up to the sound of a patronus. Sighing, he woke up, went over and through on his long sleeved shirts and worn out jeans. Remus quickly apparated, still half asleep to the Grimmauld Place, walking in, and sitting near where Markoyz was located, not even noticing that Tonks was there.

"I'm here," Remus said forcing his eyes to stay open and try to focus. He knew that every meeting was important so he tried focusing the best he could. At the next moment, he noticed Tonks, completely waking himself up and focusing, trying not to watch her, as he did at times, and he felt almost like a creeper. "So what's the meeting about Markoyz?" Remus asked peering over at Mark curiously, having not been informed previously of the meeting.

[Nymphadora "Tonks" Lupin]

Tonks sat down at the table and flopped her head down on it with a soft, yet loud thud. Even if she'd been on post she was tired, worn, and surprised she even had enough energy to apperate to the house. She was in wonder about the meeting, but when Lupin walked in her mood lightened, she moved her head to glance at him then hide her face again but trying to pass it off as trying to get comfortable. Her face had turned red and she wasn't really sure if she should bang her head harder on the table or not. It'd be nice, but just being who she was, Tonks would probabally crack her head open from hitting her head.

[Sophie Marietta Lupin]

Sophie had been dozing off waiting for her brother to come back when she'd seen it, the silvery pheinoex outside the window. She knew then that she wasn't getting to sleep that night. She started to grab a coat but then stopped and remembered she was a dog... she didn't need to bring a coat. She changed herself into a dog and ran out of the building at top speed when she was in a huge group she apperated to where she needed to be. She nudged the door open and trotted in. When she entered the kitchen she layed down under the table and started to drift off again.

[Theodore "Teddy" Lupin]

Teddy had been up late at work, filing paperwork for a recent Ministry mission where he was trying to infiltrate the Death Eaters, which ended in a dead end. Teddy was quite tired, but knew he had to finish up. As he sat in the Auror headquarters by himself, he saw it. A patronus from Markoyz De'ath had called for a meeting at 12 Grimmauld Place. Teddy quickly finished up before he ran over to the Grimmauld Place, of course not literally running, but apparating.

Teddy ran into the headquarters and stopped in the living room where everyone seemed to be. Teddy hoped he wasn't late, after all he was newer to the Order, since he was a transfer. But it made Teddy happy that Dumbledore trusted him enough, and Markoyz trusted him enough to hire him. Teddy looked around seeing all of his family, and Markoyz before him. It took a lot of metal concentration to not hug his parents and say hi mum and dad, which wouldn't be the best and he wouldn't be able to explain it.

"Hey Remus, Tonks, Markoyz, and hey Sophie," Teddy said instead looking at the reactions which his parents were making towards each other, almost smiling at the fact his father was watching and trying to be inconspicuous about it, but he forced it back. It was only a matter of time until his parents finally got together.

[markoyz]

"Wonderful to see you all." Markoyz said as he stood outside staring at the window to where he watched the stars sparkle. One by one the other order members made their way into the building all taking their respective seats of their desire. "Tonks be careful. Don't hurt your self." He said as he laughed slightly knowing that Tonks was here with that particular thud noise she makes as she enters the building. Followed by Tonks was Remus then it was Sophie then it was Teddy. A close friend of his and an almost must in his A class team of field agents.

It was here Markoyz felt rather nervous as he was surrounded in a room filled with beings with werewolf blood in their system. Hesitantly he stood up with his back straight and faced towards everyone. "Now no everyone, I know this isn't exactly the best time of the night for the meeting but it's also one of the safest. Please excuse my rude awakenings and short notice. I am sure I will make it up to you." He said knowing what it was like to be awoken by a patronus charm as this time as it has happened many times to him. More often than normal.

"It is indeed dark times. Student know of the up coming war and of course My good friend here Teddy had obtained an item of interest to which I show to you Mr.Remus. " He said as he took out the golden coin and then flicked it toward Remus. "It's quite odd is it not? Teddy can you explain once again what happened in the store?" He asked as he glanced toward Sophie."Sophie get up!" Markoyz ordered as he tapped his wand on the table. "Teddy if you will?" He asked as the house elves brought forward a little midnight snack. To which Markoyz instantly took hold of a butterbeer before it even touched the table.

[Sophie Marietta Lupin]

Sophie had started to drift off and her eyes closed she'd barked when her brother had come in but was drifting further and further... into sleep... Then of course she was rudely awaken by Markoyz. She growled and then changed into herself. She just wanted a nap, even her mother looked like she was falling asleep. She took a seat on a couch and rubbed her eyes, they were stinging from being up this late. "I just want a small nap, not even that long. Just...a...short...nap..." her accent was ringing in her sentence as her head started to droop on the couch. Even her quiet snores seemed louder.

She woke up again and looked around, her brother had found something? Why didn't he tell her about it? Then again, he hadn't been home when she'd fallen asleep and she'd slept in his bed that night so he really didn't have anywhere to sleep. She stretched and watched as her mother just sat there head on the table, Tonks was either avoiding Lupin's eye or she was sleeping, either way she wasn't moving.

She sat up straighter trying to look at the little gold coin actually standing up to look at it next to her father. She'd heard stories about these kinds of coins but it was best to keep that a secret, it would give her away entirely.

[Theodore "Teddy" Lupin]

Teddy had been slightly distracted watching his parents, but caught every word of what Markoyz had said. Teddy peered around with only a hint of pride in his sly smile. Teddy looked around for a second peering at the coin then his parents, the Sophie as if trying to create suspense. He was still young and he liked showing off a bit. Teddy smiled for a bit trying to make up fir his stupid delay for his pride in himself.

"Well, it wasn't that hard I suppose," Teddy said knowing that no ordinary person could have pulled off what he had, "I turned into a student, a Slythrin, entered and said that Draco Malfoy sent me. The shop keeper gave me that coin amd said that it would tell me when a meeting for their training would be held. I saw something once before like this, though it was a quarter, American currency, and it was used to convey messages."

Teddy was slightly lying in the last part, but it wasn't luke he was lying to much, since Uncle Harry gave him a fake galleon he and the DA used in school. Teddy loved it untul he lost it somewhere in the base, and he was quite distraught about it. Teddy moped around since he was only like 10 when it happened. Harry found out and cheered Teddy up with a small family picnic, with the Weasleys, and Aunt Ginny, Al, James, and Lily.

[Remus John Lupin]

Remus chuckled at the pride the boy was showing at his job well done. As Teddy spoke Remus distracted himself from pretending that he wasn't keepong one eye on Tonks out of the corner of that one eye. Remus studied the coin before rexognuzing the coin's spell which he had seen once before.

"I've seen this before... You all heard abiut Dumbledore's Army right? Anyways, I saw Harry Potter with a similar coin, well it was just in his bag at the bottom. I think this is similar to... The Dark Marks the Death Eaters have, except it isn't permenant. It's very curious how someone could preform such a complicated charm, except those very exlerienced. I believe Draco, or the leader of this training took the idea from Dumbledore's Army, and are using it now," Remus quickly explained aftrr hearing Teddy's story become complete.

All these stories Teddy seemed to tell made it realy hard not to believe tgem about America, even if Sophie acted weird at his suggestions, he just figured now that she didn't like America. Teddy seemed to be really good at telling stirues that never happened, or it was all true.

[markoyz]

Closely Markoyz listened to what Remus had said. He of course wanted to make this a quick and easy meeting in and out. He sipped a few more times of his butter beer and wiped the foam off his lip and placed the cup on the table. "So you are saying, this is a form of communication?" He said as he pointed toward the coin that Remus was now holding. Markoyz was quite curious about the coin as he has only ever heard of such magic being performed but has never exactly seen it. "So what should we do from here then? " He asked not knowing what should be done. he for once seemed rather stumped. Silence hit the room as all in the room excluding Sophie thought of a plan or at least Markoyz hoped so.

"If Draco and the others are using the same communication as the Dumbledore's Army then perhaps there is a spy among the army. How else would they of known of such magic and who in the Malfoy family are capable of conjuring such magic?" He asked asking more questions then he did come up with answers. He shook his head and looked down rather disappointed Of course ego and pride were one thing but he didn't have much of both. "Remus." He said looking at him."What should we do from here? I'm rather confused. We need to do something. I of course can conduct bag searches at Hogwarts but then how would we know which coin is an actual communicator?" He asked again with another question rather than an answer.

[Nymphadora "Tonks" Lupin]

Tonks picked her head up groggily, "Maybe it's not being used for a group maybe it's used for telling someone where someone is going. Might be the reason Dumbledore keeps leaving and things keep happening while he's gone." she suggested. She knew that whenever she went to the three broomsticks Rosmerta was either no where to be seen or she was acting strangely.

She chuckled slightly at Sophie's snores and then lounged back in her chair with one foot on the floor and one on the table in front of her. Tonks highly doubted that there was more than two people actually using the coin.

[markoyz]

"So your saying this is like a one time thing?" He said as he looked toward Tonks who spoke up randomly. "Wait." He said as he took another sip of butterbeer and went through his pockets. "Where is it.. No not this, nor this, I don't even know how that got there." He whispered as he pulled out a box of beans, seeds, a lost wand he was meant to return to the department of lost wands, a chocolate frog. "Wait thats it !" He said as he took out the chocolate frog with a card of Harry Potter on the front.

"So the coin acts like this? Where they will be there for a second then it will just be a plain old card?" He said trying to explain the same principals the card had to the coin to where the coin would convey a message and then be left just as a normal coin after the message was shared.

[Remus John Lupin]

Remys pondered it for a moment trying to think of what to do next. Truthfully he was not quite sure at the moment. But then an idea hit him. It was right there in front of him. Why didn't he think of it instantly? Remus fumbled the coin around his fingers, almost as if he were cradling it like James had done with the snitch in its dorment stage.

"We wait," Remus stated looking up staring directly at Markoyz before elaborating, "If it truly is as Ted said, and it is truly a communication device, which I am quite sure, there will be a meeting soon at that same store. We wait until the signal comes out, and then spy on the shop and wait. If Tonks is right and one other has a twin to this, we can catch them now we have this."

"Essentially, though I doubt this coin has any real value as money," Remus replied at Markoyz.s comment.

[markoyz]

"So we wait for the communication device to start up?" He asked as he packed everything away back into his pockets. He was very pleased that Remus had indeed thought of something as for once Markoyz had nothing to convey to them. "Right then if that is settled, shall we call it a night for now? " He asked as he finished drinking his butter beer and again wiped the foam from his mouth and onto the side of his jeans he was wearing.

"Where should the coin stay for now?" He asked as he took a seat and watched as Remus fumbled around the coin. "Sophie were you paying any attention at all?" He asked as he nudged her slightly with his wand poking it into her left side of her ribs. "Come on Sophie get up. You need to be apart of this meeting you." He said as he softly pushed her again hoping this time to be more successful in waking the young tired girl up.
