Grimmauld Place: The Orders Hideout

" No.. what on earth made you think that... I'm just going to introduce you as a new member." Zelda said with a smile... " You will be doing some questioning to other people though... " Zelda said as she pulled out a bottle with clear liquid in it.. " Here have it." Zelda said as she handed it to Shadows.

Shadow took the bottle from Zelda. She opened it and sniffed. Odorless.
"This is Veritaserum, right?"

" Yes.. use it when you think you need to use it.. Your instincts will tell you." Zelda said.. " Only three drops.." Zelda said.

"What do you mean by that?"

" Oh when you are spying mainly.. Don't abuse it though... Its very stiff stuff.. Just when you fill threatened or someone isn't telling the truth.. Death Eaters mainly." Zelda said.

"I will bear that in mind." Shadow hung it on her belt.

" so.. I will be going ,but I will be back later tonight for the meeting." Zelda said as she smiled at Shadows and than waved good bye as she walked out the door and than apperated.

Shadow remained in the house, deciding not to leave, because she was unsure of what time the meeting was at. She shook her head and decided to explore the house a bit.

( I have to go)

(I'll see you around)

Zelda came back at around 6 that evening.

Shadow watched Zelda walk in, she made made herself known.
"Hello again."

Elladora came down the stairs in Grimmauld Place, the meeting was supposed to start sometime later today. She spotted Zelda and Shadow.

"Hello," she greeted, rather cheerfully.

"Hello."

"So, you're an Order member now?" Elladora said, smiling and nodding her head approvingly. "Very nice."

"Yes, from what I gather, I'll be a spy."

"Sweet," Elladora said. "I couldn't be a spy. I much to happy, although they considered using my best friend as a spy. She's a Malfoy."

"I see why. I would be welcomed into their ranks if I considered it, and I chose this side because I have no wish to kill without mercy."

"Fair enough," Elladora said, walking over to the kitchen and staring into the fire.

Shadow crossed her legs in a lotus position and hovered a few feet above the ground, chanting quietly while she waited for the others to arrive.

Zelda looked around the room to see several faces and saw Shadow.. After Shadow greeted her Zelda smiled and said " Hello.. well.. the meeting will start in an hour.. but until then do you all want something to eat?" Zelda asked.

Shadow opened one eye.
"No thanks. I'd better meditate otherwise my magic will go haywire."

" Okay." Zelda smiled weakly know that she had a lot to do before the meeting so she went into the kitchen.. A hafe hour later Zelda came out with her wand and said to everyone there.. " Okay if you all will follow me to the dinning room we can all eat together... " You don't have to eat if you want to ,but we would love your company." Zelda said to all ,but shot Shadow a glimpse and than smiled at her... Zelda walked into the dinning room and pointed her wand at the table. All of the sudden a feast appeared before them.. There was a huge pig in the middle of the table and several vegetables scattered threw out the table. Zelda looked at everyone at the table and said.. " let us dig in". Zelda had placed several charms on the table so that all one person had to do was think what they wanted and it would appear on there plate as long as the food was on the table.. Zelda closed her eyes and when she opened them her plate was filled.. Zelda looked at everyone and smiled and than started to eat.

Elladora had followed Zelda into the kitchen and was now munching on a piece of bread and juice. She smiled happiy, awaiting the meeting's start, beacuse she had missed to last year's worth of meetings due to Auror exams and other random nonsense she had to set straight.

Zelda had finished her plate and looked up at all the people at the table. Several where still eating so she just picked up her plate and took it to the kitchen. After doing this she went and sat back at the table.

Shadow had followed the others, but remained in the shadows, not wanting to eat.

Seeing as everyone was done eating she flicked her wand and the table cleared. " So is everyone here?.." Zelda asked... " Where is Rista?" Zelda asked.

"I don't know, I'm afraid I can't sense her."

Rista dashed in. "I'm here!" She exclaimed. "Sorry I'm late. I only just got the message."

" Its Okay." Zelda said as she flicked her wand and another chair appeared.. Zelda smiled and looked at everyone.. " I do believe that we have two new members.. Shadow and Rista!" Zelda said with a smile and she pointed to them.... " Rista.. when did you join?" Zelda asked..

"Ah, let's see. I joined back in November. I believe it was the 23rd," Rista replied.

" That is cool!" Zelda said.

"Yeah. I haven't gotten much accomplished thus far," Rista began. "Not sure how much help I can be. I'm not very qualified."

" Have you taken the Oath?" Zelda asked just making sure.

"I believe so," Rista replied. "The one that's in your own words?" She added.

" Yea.. that is cool... I'm glad you joined." Zelda said.

Shadow was still trying not to be seen, thanking Arias that Zelda hadn't mentioned her last name, thinking that most people would recognise it as a mark of her heritage. She had no intention of being noticed at the moment, seeing how many people were there.

Rista saw another girl who seemed to be almost hiding. Automatically her guard went up, but she didn't think the girl could be harmful if she were here. "Are you Shadow?" She asked the girl.

After talking to Rista she turned to Shadow.. " Shadow is our newest member.. It was just today that she joined. So Shadow.. can you tell the group why you joined?" Zelda asked with a smile.

Shadow stayed in the shadows, but decided to speak.
"Yes, I am Shadow. I joined because I wanted to choose my side before it was chosen for me."

" That is a good reason.. " Zelda said with a smile.. " Now shall we plan for the second final battle.. The death eaters I heard have gotten word on a new secret weapon." Zelda said.

Shadow looked on with interest.

" All I know is that there may be a person in play for this... That person is Oddie Riddle.. We must protect her ... They are trying to bring the Dark Lord back.. If they succeed it will be the same battle yet again.. I am thinking that a crucial person in the role is Oddie Riddle.. I tried to get her to join the Order a long time ago ,but It never worked.... She always said it would be to dangerous.. Well now I am thinking that the tide has changed.. I am thinking that she needs too... What are yalls intakes on this?" Zelda asked.

"If she could be crucial in the Dark Lord's return, she should be protected," Rista replied. "Do we know in what way she could help bring the plan about?"

" Well there is a potion..,but its hard to make." Zelda said as she took out a book and flipped to a page and showed it to Rista and the group.

"Hmm that is a tiny bit difficult," Rista said sarcastically with her hands spread about a foot apart to indicate how "tiny" she meant. "But what does Oddie have to do with it?" She added.

" That is the part that I have not gotten into... I think that a couple of us are going to have to go over the the DE hideout which I believe is at the Malfoy and do some snooping." Zelda said... " Who's is game?" Zelda asked...

"I could help out," Rista said automatically. She was always game for an adventure.

"I'll help." Volunteered Shadow.

"I was hoping you'd volunteer too, Shadow," Rista said.
