The Burrow- Order of the Phoenix Headquarters

Ron: "It's really a long story..."

George: "We have a really long time."

(it's moments like these that being half of the Weasleys pays off... ^.^)

Molly: "He's just gotten here, George! Can't you give anyone a moments rest without interrogating them?"

Ginny: I grinned. "She has a point, you know. You and Fred can't resist asking questions the moment you see someone. Learn a little patience, will you?"

Hermione: I took the opportunity, while Fred and George were being accosted (hehe go vocabulary words) to run forward and hug Ron tightly.

Ron: I was grateful for Mum intercedeing, but was taken by surprise when my breath was knocked out of me from Hermione's hug. I smiled a little and hugged her back. I looked over her shoulder at Harry. "Before I go into my story, could I hear what's happened here first?"

Tonks: "I think I'd like to hear that too, and I can update you all on the situation... Erm.... Elsewhere," I grinned.

Fleur: I was curious to see what everyone had to say.

Charlie: I leaned against the wall on the far side of the room. I was glad Ron was back, but it was obvious that we really needed to move outside. The small room was overly cramped, putting everyone on edge.

(and that, my friends, is how you incorporate all your characters that are present into one post)

George: "He just got here, and I need to know," I muttered.

I thought about trying to summarize what had happened in the past few days. Some things would obviously have to be left out. "We pretty much arrived at school and the school became flooded with Death Eaters. So Hermione and I went into hiding. I went out of hiding and there was a battle on the grounds with a few casualties. I went back into hiding and Hermione and I decided that the best place to be wasn't at Hogwarts so we went to the Forest of Dean and stayed there for a bit. Met up with an old friend and went to Grimmauld Place. Then we said Riddle's real name and ran here to get away from the swarm of Death Eaters that we knew were coming." I looked at Hermione to see if there was anything she wanted to add.

George: I whistled quietly, "You have all the fun."

Hermione: "I think that's about everything," I nodded, before sitting down on the arm of a nearby chair. Obviously he didn't want to mention Sirius at the moment, so I kept quiet about that.

Ron: "Well, like I said, mine is a long story...." I sighed, mostly talking to keep Fred and George off my back. "I got to the school, and I was with Harry and Hermione for a while, but it was really easy to get separated, I guess there were a lot of students not wanting to go inside. Anyway, I was almost inside when I thought I heard someone calling my name... I turned around, but no one I recognized was near me, so I shrugged and started back towards the school. I was literally the back of the crowd, so I was just hoping there would be good seats left, because at that point I was really, really hungry. I walked to the doors, y'know, to enter the castle? Well, then I heard the same voice calling my name, I couldn't tell who it was, but it was kind of... hypnotizing, so I turned around again, but there still wasn't anyone there. I was the last one outside. Then, everything went dark. Next thing I knew, I woke up in the Headmaster's office, there wasn't anyone there, and the portrait of Dumbledore told me to use the Floo Network to go to the Hog's Head, and apparate home from there, so I did, and here I am...."

(Took me long enough, eh?)

"And it took you this long to get here, did it?"

Ron: I nodded. "I passed out again once I got there,"

I nodded, "Of course you did. And we've only been worried about you since we realized you weren't with us. We were on the verge of going out and looking for you!"

Ron: I glared at him. "You act like I could have done something about it!"

"Right. It wasn't as if you had to follow the voice, or whatever it was that you did. For all we knew you were dead!"

Hermione: I stood up and stood in between them. "I think that's enough. Look, Harry, sure we were worried about Ron, but that's no reason to explode at him! You're best friends, now act like it,"

I sighed, "If you say so...."

Voldemort (didn't have a very long rollerskating party this time): I appeared in the general area of the burrow. Severus had already disclosed the location of this particular hideout earlier, so I could see it not far off.

Sirius: I appeared next to the Dark Lord. He called the Death Eaters in his innermost ring to his side and told me to go because I might be needed later on and none of the Order could know the truth now.

Hermione: I glared at Harry. "I'm not joking!"

Greyback: I Apparated to the place that the Death Eaters told me they were all Apparating to, and awaited orders.

I nodded, "I know that...."

Voldemort: "Surround them."

Draco: I ran off to surround the pig sty that the blood traitors lived in.

Mulciber: I followed Lucius Malfoy's son to make sure he wouldn't make a fool of himself.

Avery: I walked around the perimeter, making sure that I didn't go inside the protective enchantments, not yet.

Yaxley: I followed Avery, he probably knew what he was doing.

Rookwood: I split away from most of the other Death Eaters to form the perimeter around the measly shack.

Dolohov: I followed Mulciber, but only because he was going where I wanted to go.

(I'm a legion of Death Eaters ^.^)

Charlie: "Erm... everyone? I think we've got company," I muttered, looking out the window.

Greyback: I stalked off to surround the house, it amazed me how quickly they'd rebuilt...

George: "Excellent!"

I looked outside and frowned. This wasn't good....

Ron: "How did they know we'd be here?"

"They shouldn't...."

Hermione: I frowned and looked meaningfully at Harry. "Remember our old friend?" I muttered.

I immediately glared at Hermione, "He wouldn't have. He was just worried about getting caught."

Hermione: I sighed. Maybe Harry was right, but something still didn't feel right about Sirius being back....

George: "So are we just going to sit around and wait to be slaughtered then?"

Ginny: "Someone sure is a pessimist..." I muttered.

Tonks: "I think we should move outside, and stay together," I said, after thinking for a moment. "It will keep the most of us possible safe,"

George: I nodded, "Good idea. Hey Tonks, won't Lupin be upset that he is missing all the action?"

Tonks: I rolled my eyes."To be honest with you George, I think he'll be more upset that I'm here, fighting,"
