The Burrow- Order of the Phoenix Headquarters

The Burrow was the family home of the Weasley family. Located on the outskirts of Ottery St. Catchpole in Devon, England, it was a thoroughly magical dwelling that became a second home to Harry Potter. In 1997, following the death of Albus Dumbledore, the Burrow became the Headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix.

Hermione: I looked around as soon as we appeared at the Burrow. "We'll probably want to get inside the protective enchantments as soon as possible," I suggested, as I started moving toward the large home, and I pulled my jacket tighter around myself as the wind started blowing.

I nodded and followed Hermione toward the Burrow.

Hermione: I felt a little better once we were inside the protective enchantments, and I slowed down a little.

I sighed when we got in the protective enchantments. We reached the front door and I knocked on it.

Hermione: I stood next to Cho as we waited for someone to answer the door. I didn't see why Harry didn't just walk in, but he must've had a reason.

Fleur: I pulled the door open. "'Arry!"

I grinned at Fleur, "Hi Fleur. Could we come in?"

Fleur: I nodded and walked back into the house so they could come in.

Hermione: I waited until Harry walked inside.

I walked into the burrow.

Hermione: I looked around at the congregation of Weasleys as we all entered the main room of the house. Everyone looked so... sad.

I felt extremely out of place as I walked in the room with Hermione and Cho. All their eyes were on us.

Hermione: After a moment of silence I bit my lip and hoped someone would start a conversation.

George: I looked up and saw Hermione, Harry, and Cho, "What are you guys doing here?" I didn't mean it to sound mean, but it did.

Hermione: "Well, we were at Grimmuald Place, and Sirius was there which is really a long story, anyway, we were going to go looking for Ron this morning, then Harry and Cho both accidentally said You-Know-Who's name, and well... to be honest we just needed somewhere to go after Sirius ran away," I shrugged, looking at Harry and Cho for confirmation that I'd said everything I really needed to.

I had been glaring at George. I turned back to look at Hermione and nodded.

George: "How do we know you are who you say you are?" I asked quietly.

Hermione: "Why don't you find out?" I suggested, shrugging my shoulders a little.

George (is holey): I looked at Harry, "What was the one thing that Fred and I have ever given you, and how do you open it?"

I sighed, "The Marauders Map. It allows you to see all the passages in and out of Hogwarts, and allows you to see where everyone in the castle is. It was created by the Marauders: Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs. Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew, Sirius Black, and my dad. You open it by tapping your wand to it and saying 'I solemnly swear I am up to no good'. You erase what is there by saying 'Mischief managed'."

George (has reached a new degree of holeyness, and may be holey enough to be swiss cheese): I nodded slowly.

Hermione: "So you know that's Harry," I nodded. "Or is that not sufficient evidence?"

George: I shrugged, "Yeah. It's Harry."

Hermione: "Now that that's settled, do you think that if Cho and I weren't ourselves that we would have let Harry walk in here, among so many of his friends, and allies?"

George: "How would I know what a Death Eater working for U-No-Poo would do?!"

Hermione: "Well, they probably would have killed you for saying that," I said dryly.

George: "So the test has been passed."

Hermione: "Good," I nodded. "So, what's been happening here?" I asked.

George: I shrugged, "Nothing really. Everyone is trying to figure out what to do now....." And mourning. But I didn't add that.
