Face to Face (ISO: Harry)

[Deleted]

The room of requirements--quite possibly one of the most fickle rooms in all of Hogwarts but an incredibly useful room all at the same time. Zach was pleasantly surprised at the quick response he had gotten from Harry and when the other had suggested that they met in the room of requirements--Zach had to pause for a moment and wonder why he hadn't thought of it before hand. Eh and this was why he was a teacher and not an auror...he supposed he wasn't the best at the whole thinking ahead thing. Anyways that was beside the point. The point being that they needed the room to cooperate with them so that they could meet in peace. He supposed that if push came to shove they could go to his office on the third floor but he really would rather not be in a position where other ears could overhear what he wanted to ask.

Dark things were happening--we all knew that already. Aurors were being killed and muggle born students as well. It was--troublesome to say the very least. Zach didn't really relish the idea of another war happening -- not after the mess of last time. Nor did he relish the idea of Seth sticking his nose into any aspect of his life again. Zach was no idiot. He knew the other was out there somewhere bidding his time. Seth wasn’t going to stop supporting the dark forces just because they got beat…he knew the older man better than that. And he also knew Seth was a persistent creep (to put it cleanly that was) – Zach was sure that the other was going to once again try something stupid in order to get the charms professor to join his cause. If he was a betting man—he would bet his galleons on it. And the idea alone was enough to set Zach on edge. He did not like the idea of having a target on his back like that. And while he wasn’t able to do something about it twenty odd years ago…he could do something about it now. And that was what this meeting was about.

Doing something about it. He knew about the order. And he wanted in. It was as simple as that. But one didn’t just say they were in and were in. He wanted to talk about it with the head auror. Thus the owls and thus him being here currently.

And after pacing through the fifth floor hallway all the while thinking about how much they needed this room so that they could meet in peace—soon enough a door appeared. Perfect. Zach smirked lightly as he saw the wooden husky shaped door knob. The room of requirements was able to change into what the person needed it for. And he supposed the room decided to add that little flair for him. But that was beside the point. Zach walked into the room making sure to shut the door behind him and sat in the nearby chair. The room was just simple--a table, a few chairs and some water and that was it. Simple room for a simple purpose. And so taking a sip of a bottle of the water before him…all Zach had to do now was wait…

Easier said than done mind you…

He had received a letter from the charms professor at Hogwarts, requesting that they meet face to face since the man had something that he wanted to talk to Harry about. Harry had been a little skeptical at first about the meeting but he already knew that Eielson could be trusted, since he had been informed by Walton of the fact. He had received reports from Walton on every single staff member at Hogwarts, and if they could be trusted or not. He was heading towards the room of requirement. Harry laughed to himself as he walked down the corridor to the room. He had been down here earlier this week having had a meeting with Burt. 

Upon arriving at the stretch of wall that held the room of requirement Harry noticed a simple door, yet the handle was in the shape of a wooden husky. Which he guessed was a personal touch that the room had for Eielson since every time he had been here the door was always different, and so was the room. Well except for fifth year when he ran the DA as a way to teach other students defense against the dark arts. It was needed since they weren't learning anything under the strict and toad, or should he say hag, Umbridge. She was a horrible person who as far as he could tell always supported Voldemort, and she got what she deserved.

He smirked before going forward and opening the door. The first thing he noticed was Eielson with a bottle of water in hand, as he waited for him. "I haven't kept you waiting long, have I?" He hoped not but being the head Auror and also the Head of the Order he had a lot of things to do. But he had made time for this. He closed the door and then waved his hand adding his own protections to the room so they were not disturbed. Harry looked around taking in the room, it was simple and would fill their needs since it was just a meeting. He walked over and sat down in one of the chairs and then turning his attention to Eielson he said "So tell me Eielson, what is it that you would like to talk about?"

An ear pricked as he heard the door opening--the non-too subtle sounds of said door creaking could be heard all throughout the room. He glanced up to see who it was and recognized the figure immediately. There was no mistaking the man for someone else. It was just the person he had wanted to see. The other probably thought it weird that he wanted to talk to him face to face. That he didn’t want to just say what he had to say via an owl or a letter of something that. I mean they weren't exactly coworkers or buddy buddies but this was something that was important and he felt like a face to face meeting was the best way to go about it. The best way to get his point across. Cause at times points could get lost across paper and this was too important for that to happen. And he was sure that the other figured where the Ravenclaw head stood. You weren't the head auror because you sat around and did nothing. The other was smart and he probably -- no more than likely if not surely -- knew who to keep an eye on and who was all right.

The other asked him if he had been waiting long and Zach was quick to shake his head, "Nah just a few moments. The room wanted to be slow today." he said with a soft shrug and a mental eye roll. It was as if it had been teasing him with the possibility of not showing up at all but thankfully it decided to show up and cooperate. Zach couldn’t help but inwardly shake his head. It was odd at times thinking of a room of all things like you would a person almost. But there were a LOT of things in this world that could seem strange—especially to muggles—and so he supposed this was just one of many.

But this was not the topic at hand here and so he banished those thoughts to the back of his mind as Harry sat down in one of the chairs and asked him what was up. What did he want to talk about? And well here went nothing,

”I know you’re the head of the order of the phoenix. I want to know what I need to do to join that group.” or what not to do…there was that too…

”I know you’re the head of the order of the phoenix. I want to know what I need to do to join that group.” Harry could only smirk as Eielson seemed like someone that got straight to the point. Which was a good thing in Harry’s book. For in these dark times one had to be forward and not beat around the bush. Harry knew quite a bit about Eielson. The man wanted to know what it took to join the Order. Well that was simple to answer but first Harry had one thing to ask the man. “Well first I want you to tell me what you know about the Order, and why you want to join the Order of the Phoenix.”

One could never be too careful. He had to know what and why the man wanted to join the Order. He already knew that the man had a rough and difficult past. But that didn’t automatically make you qualified to be part of the Order. There had to be a specific reason for it or Eielson wouldn’t have asked to meet with Harry. However Harry was doing all could to build the order, and it was growing bigger as time went on. It would only take time.
