Victoire wasn't the least bit offended when her father bi-passed her and walked straight to Harry. She did, however, take a few steps backward in order to follow him and listen to what he was saying to the Head of the Order. She felt her heart stop when the name Fenrir Greyback was said. She was not happy about that. She flipped around to face her dad and Harry and stood next to them, "Well, in that case I'd say we have the advantage," she commented about the removal of Fenrirs arm. She leaned up on her toes to kiss her fathers cheek and then linked an arm through his, "I say we send a firing squad after the beast." She spoke calmly and slowly even though a part of her was panicking. She didn't like the idea of her father fighting that thing alone.
When Argus stepped in and began speaking Victoire directed her attention to her words. They weren't very encouraging either. Ezra Reddington and Greyback? Whoever was causing these murders at hogwarts must somehow be sending out a blood spilling message. And invitation for all blood thirsty beings to come to London and join in the feast. The thought made Victoire shiver. She was listening to the rest of Argus's words, his theories on why Reddington was back when the door started to open.
Just behind Argus head, Vic saw a face. A face she was hoping to, dreading to, and wanting to see. She tightened her grip on her fathers arm as she made eye contact. It was kind of hard not to, considering he was staring right at her. Vic wasn't sure whether she should look away. She got lost in that chin, those cheekbones, that hair, those ears, those eyes. She didn't think she could ever pull her gaze away from his face. After a few moments, more like an eternity, she ripped her eyes away from his and glanced at her mother. Little did she know that her mother no doubt could see the panic in her eyes.
She looked down at the table and guessed the whole room could probably hear her heart pounding in her chest. She could hear it like it was playing on a stereo. She refused to place her hand over her heart, like she wanted to. She had to will it to steady itself without any physical help.
What was she freaking out about anyway? She had broken up with him. Her career was more important and it was a good thing too, because now she was junior assistant to the minister. A dream come true. If she had stayed with Teddy, she would never have reached that goal. She would have been to distracted by his love and by loving him back. So, then why was she feeling so emotional seeing him? She felt tears start to prick her eyes and she blinked. Please, don't let them fall, she thought, willing her tears to retreat.

Ginny smiled when Rob, one of Harrys fellow Aurors, entered and turned into husky. She waved to him and laughed, "Well, aren't you just so cute and fluffy?" she chuckled. She had often wished that she became and animagus, but she really didn't have the time to get to work on it. Plus, it wouldn't really benefit her at this point in life, so she decided to drop it. It was still great to see other people use the magic, however, because it was very impressive.
She smiled and waved at Sophie, Tom and Sam as the entered as well, though she didn't now them well she wanted them to feel welcome within the order. Her family took up most of the room, but she wanted the others to feel like family as well, and that was important to her. She released Hermione from her arm and crossed back to Harry, once she saw Bill arriving to approach him. She took Harrys hand as Bill began explaining his exploits. Her eyes fell on Victoire as the girl chimed in on the Greyback situation.
She listened intently to Argus's words as well, and once he was done speaking she turned back to Harry with a determined look, "Wouldn't it be best if we started now, dear?" she said to him as she tugged on his hand. She spoke softly, not wanting anyone to hear the fear in her voice. There was nothing more important to her than the safety of her children, and with old enemies to the ministry arriving, two deaths at hogwarts and who knows what else going on, she wasn't feeling very encouraged about her childrens safety.
As she door opened, with Teddy stepping through, Ginny smiled broadly and crossed the room to greet him, "Teddy!" she said happily as she walked towards him briskly. Her pace started to slow as she noticed that his eyes were elsewhere. When she turned to look she mentally face palmed herself. She should have said something to him about Victoire being her. Teddy was basically a son after all and she hated to see him suffer. She stepped close to him and placed a hand on his shoulder, "aren't you going to give your auntie Gin a hug, Ted?"

As people began to come in most of them were family and he was glad to see them. When Victorie came in first and greeted him he smiled and nodded his head in her direction as an acknowledgement that he had heard what she had said. And then Hermione showed up. "Harry... hope you're also well. You work in my department and still I feel like I hardly see you.” Well that was true they hardly ever saw each other at work and since the murders started there had been no time to make to see family. When Neville walked in and tossed him a flask full of dittany, he caught it out of the air with reflexes of a seeker, and also the reflexes of a warrior. “Thanks Neville. I have a feeling that they will need it.” Tonight Harry was all about business no matter how much he wanted to catch up with his friends and family. By that time Fleur and Ginny had both arrived. Apparently Ginny had been helping Hannah out prepare the food for the meeting. After that the next couple of people to arrive were both new members of the Order but he could tell that they would fit in well. When Bill showed up looking dirty, and walked straight over to him Harry knew that whatever news his brother-in-law had was not good news. “The job is done and you won’t like what I found and ran into again for the second time… Harry, Fenrir Greyback is back in country. I may have had a run in with him and we got into a rather nasty fight, just before the meeting today. He got away but I did manage to cut off his right arm. I am unsure of his motives but we must keep an eye out… Might want to let the IA know.” The last part had been whispered but he couldn’t agree more with Bill that the IA had to be informed of this. He was glad that Bill had gotten Fenrir by taking the animal’s arm off, even though he had gotten away Harry had a feeling that this wouldn’t be the last of seeing him. "Evening everyone, thought I might inform you all now Ezra Reddington is back in the country if you didn't know. The Advanced Guard will take lead on this, his threat to reveal us all to the muggle world is creditable and threat against the Ministry… I don't like his timing with everything going on, he was off the radar for a decade I am sure the recent killings lead him back." Without further ado and before addressing the situation to the rest of the Order members present Harry cast his patronus and the stag stood before him as he whispered to it what the information that he had been told needed to be said to the IA. Once he finished the Stag turned into a ball of silvery light and sped away to find Walton Grey who apparently was closer to them than David Jones the current head of the IA. And then in came Teddy, who upon seeing Victoire just stared at her. And if that wasn’t the icing on the cake the look that was on Victoire’s face was just as priceless, and it made Harry smirk a little bit. Well once the meeting started those two would have no clue but they would be compelled to sit next to each other. It would be the result of a spell Bill and he had come up with. Jason Greyback was also there and Harry gave the kid an acknowledging nod. Turning to Ginny whom had come up to him and held his hand. "Wouldn't it be best if we started now, dear?" of course his wife was correct about it being time to start the meeting even though several people hadn’t arrived yet. Just as he was about to speak however, a ball of silvery light came into the room and transformed into the tiger that was Walton’s patronus. The tiger stood up on its hind legs and put its paws on Harry’s shoulders and relayed the message to him about another individual that had come into country that was wanted throughout Europe and Africa. Anton Laporte, a man who was a combination of Bellatrix Lestrange and Fenrir Greyback. At that point the tiger disappeared. He stood there for a moment longer before rising to his full height. “Alright everyone have a seat so we can begin our meeting.” Harry said in an authoritative tone and with a snap of his fingers chairs appeared out of nowhere around the Table that he had in the middle of the room, except at the head of the table where he stood with Bill, Neville and Argus. “Now you all know why you are here.” Harry began even though people had yet to find their seats. “I have some rather troubling news before we deal with certain other matters and assignments of the Order. I have just been informed by Bill that Fenrir Greyback is back in country and is now missing his right arm thanks to the wand work of Bill. Also Argus, head of the Advanced Guard and a Senior Auror, has just told us that Ezra Reddington is also back in country. The Order will help Argus however we can in the search of Ezra, that is if the Advanced Guard need help with anything as they are taking lead in the case.” He paused for a couple of minutes to give everyone a chance to process the information that two of the worst criminals were back in England, and plus they weren’t going to like the next bit of information either. “The last piece of information that I have received tonight comes from a reliable source, of which I cannot tell you about. Anton Laporte has also come back to England. I know that only a few of you know who he is, but I am sure that several of you have no idea as to who he is.” Harry said in a serious tone. He looked around at all of the faces of the people around him. “Are there any questions as to who these people are? If so ask now for later we probably won’t have the time to do so.” Harry was ready to answer any questions about the men he had just mentioned. He also knew that some people like Ginny and Fleur were worried about the safety of their children at Hogwarts and well he couldn’t blame them. That was one of the other issues that they would be addressing tonight, was the protection of Hogwarts and it’s students. But now he wanted to get any questions out of the way about these men. Since they were the first order of Business tonight.

Selliah was not much of a dress up kind of person as most who knew her were already well aware of. In fact her dress up was a nice pair of jeans and a nice shirt or blouse. That was about as dressed up as this chick got. Not that it especially mattered at this point. She was sure that the order members could care less what she wore as long as she was there at this meeting. Which of course she had no intention of missing nor of being late to. She had no second thoughts or guesses about joining the order when her boss Harry had asked her if she had wanted to. The order was an important group of people with a important mission in these times. And she had jumped at the chance to help and to make a difference. That was why she was an auror after all. She was here to help make a difference. To help stop the darkness. To be a part of the difference.
She apparated to a area where the meeting was to take place. Neville's house was of course protected to the brim. No doubt to avoid any attacks and things to that nature and what not. And since she wasn't necessarily a floo powder fan as we all knew--she had another plan in mind. Since she doubted she could apparate to the Hill--she would get there in her own weird way. And soon what was once human was now feline as Selliah shifted into her animagus form. The small ocelot feline darted through the yards and past all the extraordinarily hostile looking plants and such (protection pieces she should have seen coming since the man was insanely talented with plants and gardening and whatnot -- cue the former Gryffindor being slightly jealous as she had no green thumb whatsoever), They posed no problems for the small and agile cat as she darted into the house. She soon heard voices--lots of voices so plenty of folks were already here. And now so was she.
The ocelot skittered in just as the meeting started. Plenty of people here indeed--lots she didn't recognize off hand and several she had. But that was beside the point. It seemed as if she came here just in time as there was plenty to talk about. Fenrir Greyback. Ezra Reddington. Anton Laporte. All three of them wanted criminals. All three of them haven't been caught yet. All three of them were here in London. She may not have known who this Anton guy was but she definitely knew who Ezra was and she most definitely knew who Fenrir was. She almost had a bad run in with the murderous werewolf before and it was only because she shifted into her animal form that she was able to get away without a scratch. She had gotten lucky and she had known it. And now she had to be the bearer of even more bad news.
But first thing was first--Harry wondered if there were any questions and she indeed had one. Feline becoming human again--the girl changed back into her human form...giving a slightly apologetic look if she had startled anyone. She had not meant to. But that was beside the point. "So this Anton fellow? What do we have to watch out for?"

Neville returned the nods and smiles directed his way, mostly from the Weasley clan, and otherwise kept quiet as he waited for the meeting to start. It wasn’t that he was trying to avoid being social; rather, he was like Harry, taking Order meetings seriously. Plus, he was preoccupied. Coming up with stricter security for the castle without impacting the lives of the students was proving difficult, and wasn’t exactly being helped by Burt. The man wanted to know everything happening within the castle, and nevermind the consequences of having a single person know every piece of security and how to bypass or disable it. Considering all that he’d learned, it was becoming more and more difficult for Neville to brush aside the theory that he’d somehow ended up in a power struggle with the Headmaster…without even knowing it. Come to think of it, that might be why Reynolds was trying so hard—he saw Neville as a rival, the same as he saw Harry, but neither of them considered Burt a rival in return. For a man of pride and authority, that had to hurt quite a bit. It wasn’t like they were dismissing Burt; it was the power they weren’t interested in. But that concept seemed….alien to the mind of the Headmaster.
Which was worrisome.
Harry called the meeting to order, summoning chairs from the basemenet below with a wave of his hand. Neville had incorporated Harry into the house’s magic; if he should die, Harry would gain ownership of the house until such time as the Order disbanded, at which point ownership would shift to Hannah with Alice as the heir. Neville continued to stand, placing himself to the left of Harry as the meeting began. Greyback returned, though badly wounded by Bill. He’d get a magical arm replacement if his werewolf curse wasn’t enough to restore it. Reddington too—damn. Neville had almost forgotten about that one. Returning when the Ministry was already stretched thin trying to find a mass murderer sounded like him, though. Anton Laporte was the one to really get his attention, though. That scumbag was still around? He was allegedly the one who taught the Death Eaters the Slicing Curse that the Carrows had used on Neville, wounds that were shallow but didn’t heal until the caster’s wand broke. Even today, the scars on either side of his face remained visible. Not that it bothered him much to have scars, but that spell had hurt a lot of people. Harry asked for questions, and Selliah immediately requested information on Laporte.
“You met Ian Owens recently, Selliah? Anton’s worse. He’s younger and spryer, and he’s also sane enough to recognize when he can’t take someone on.” Neville had not been allowed to speak to Ian Owens since the man’s imprisonment; Harry knew that Owens would rant at Neville the same as he would at anyone else, and that Neville would respond by killing him right in his cell, because threatening his family was the fastest way to see Neville’s game face. He looked out at the others. “Laporte’s got a penchant for death and torture. He’s not as good at causing mental trauma as Owens is, but he’s more capable of subtleties and knows a wider range of dark magic. I’ve heard he uses Egyptian spells. Everyone should be using their black market contacts to track imports from Egypt—in particular, snake venoms and other potion ingredients. Egyptian wizardry uses paired wands, a crook and a flail, to spellcast, but if Laporte’s using them, he probably already has them. Wouldn’t hurt to look into it just to be safe, though.” He glanced at Harry, hoping the head of the Aurors got the implications of what he’d said. There was no way around it—with this many dangerous wizards returning, they needed the best-kept secret they had. The one person who had a chance of getting them the information they needed.
They needed Draco Malfoy.

She was looking right at him.
Teddy wanted to look away, he really did. He thought it would be awkward and painful to look into those blue eyes but as the two of them made eye contact, Teddy felt no sort of pain. She wasn't looking away either. After a few short moments, which felt like forever, Teddy managed to crack a small, crooked smile at the blond witch that he was still so secretly in love with. But just as he began to smile, she looked away. Teddy kept his eyes on her for a moment longer but she was not looking back his way. He wanted to move from the spot he stood in, but it seemed that he was almost frozen with nerves. His heart felt like it was about to pound straight out of his chest, and he could swear he was shaking. He took in a few deep breaths as the other witches and wizards in the room came back into his view. For a moment, it had seemed as if it had only been he and Victoire.
Finally, Teddy came flying back into reality at the sound of his Aunt's voice. "Teddy!" He could recognize Ginny Potter's voice and red hair anywhere. He broke his gaze at Victoire and looked over at his aunt, who now was thankfully standing in front of him. He grinned at her. "Of course I am," he said, looking down at her. Teddy was taller than Ginny by only a few inches or so. He wrapped his arms around his aunt in a hug and tried very hard not to look at Victoire again.
After a few more minutes, Harry finally began the meeting. Evidentally, there was much more to worry about than just this children murderer on the loose. Teddy had never heard of any of the men that Harry was calling off but all he could feel was a sort of anger coursing through his veins. Teddy had made the decision before walking into the meeting about not speaking, but upon hearing of these dangerous men, Teddy just couldn't help himself. For a brief moment, he was able to forget that he had just left the country for four years and that the girl he loved was in the room. Teddy looked to Harry with a determination in his eyes. "But what about this murderer? Whoever that is is killing students. Shouldn't we be worried about them, too?" He asked. It was odd that he had spoken up at all, considering how he was feeling, but Teddy wanted to keep his cousins safe. He was not about to let them become victims of a murder.

Zach had arrived among the others but he had decided to quietly keep to himself as he took a nearby chair and waited for this meeting to start. He didn't know a lot of people in the room personally and those that he did were already ear deep into conversations that he had no desire to interrupt. And that was okay with him. He wasn't necessarily known for being the most outgoing guy in the world or the most social. And he didn't wish to get in the middle of the crowd anyways...it just wasn't his thing. And so he waited quietly as they all waited for even more people to show up. His ears pricked as he could have swore that he could have heard Fenrir Greyback's name being mentioned. Thankfully Zach never met or had a run in with the werewolf but he had heard plenty of things about the other that made the hair on the back of his neck stand on end. He didn't really want to relish the thought of HIM being close enough to anyone to do anything any harm.
The meeting began and Zach turned his attention towards Harry. Hmm...other then Fenrir it seemed as if there were other pain in their necks (to put it cleanly of course) who were back. It was a couple of names he didn't recognize though. Ezra Reddington and Anton Laporte. He didn't need to know exactly what they were about but if the aurors were concerned about them--then he was. They had enough problems with this student murderer (he was 100% convinced the killer was a student and he had his suspicions as to exactly who to but he wasn't going to speak up until he had absolute proof). They didn't need any other problems rearing their ugly heads. But it seemed as if they were rearing their ugly heads anyways. Now they had four times the crap to worry about and it annoyed the professor.
Who gave these fools the right to mess with people like that? To torture people? To kill them? There was no excuses for them. And he would be lying if he said he wasn't looking forward to seeing each and every one of them behind bars in Azkaban for the rest of their miserable lives.
Teddy voiced his concerns about the person killing the students. That they should worry about them too and Zach was quick to reassure him, "And we are." he said simply, "We're not going to leave anything behind." none of them were. They weren't about to turn their backs on existing problems. Of that he was sure.

Constance had entered the room shortly after Argus Diamond, her heart pumping. She immediately noticed an adorable husky and giggled under her breath. She made her way over to Rob and sat beside him, taking a moment to scratch behind his ears, "what a good dog! Sitting here so quietly." She chuckled as he pulled her hand away and wrapped her arms around him, hugging him close. His fur was so soft and fluffy, he was just the cutest thing, she almost couldn't stand it. She glanced around the room and she pulled away, leaving one arm draped around him.
The room was full of people she had heard about but never met. Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ginny Weasley and more. She couldn't help but laugh internally about the fact that all of those people were related for the most part. Her eyes fell upon Sam from across the room and she waved excitedly to him. The guy was a good friend, but also an ex. Things ended on fine terms, but she realized she was waving to an ex with her arm around her boyfriend dog. She lowered her hand and smiled at Sam instead, silently chuckling.
She frowned at the mention of dark wizards and dark things going on, but smiled at the reunions and smiles around her. This place really was a place to find family, even if you didn't belong to the Potter/Weasley clan. As Harry began the meeting she immediately donned her work face and paid attention closely. Constance barely recognized any of the names, but she got the basic picture that they were bad guys. Sure, she was head of the Spell Damage department at Mungos, but she wasn't in her element here. She didn't really feel like speaking up, and she also felt it was unnecessary. She had the names memorized now, and would be sure to keep an eye out. The only problem was.... she reluctantly raised her hand, "Do we have photos of the men so we know who to look out for, Mr. Potter?" she asked, "and also signature spells and things they do to their victims could help. I'm a spell damage healer and I could be on the look out with people coming through my department," if they weren't already dead, she thought grimly.
As Longbottom spoke up, she listening carefully as well. He knew a lot about these guys for just being a teacher. Though, his home was the meeting place so he had to be pretty involved in this stuff. She respected that. She also flashed her vision quickly to Teddy as he spoke, almost smiling that her dear friend was there. It wasn't the time or place to say hello, however. Not with the conversation going on.

She sat in the chair at the end of the conference table with several staff members of the Magical Law Enforcement department. Her quick quill writing furiously as one of the members was speaking about the risks and fallout from her investigation she was pushing for. The quill was taking notes on an enchanted piece of paper that only she could read, for confidential reasons. Taking her glasses off she placed them down on the table and crossed her hands as one of the staffers mentioned she needed to “remember her limits of her office”. The entire meeting Diane had been emotionless, or not irritated at least but now she was very annoyed it could tell on her face. She knew the limits of her office but, she also knew how to push those limits and someone lower than her would not lecture her on such. ”You need not to remind me of my office limits, thank you all will pick this up later in the week”replied Diane curtly realizing what time it truly was. Leaving the conference room she made it to her office’s fireplace, she needed to hurry up before she missed anymore of the Order meeting. In a quick swift movements she entered the fireplace before clearly stating ”Longbottom Hill”, and the flames engulfed her and then she was stepping out of the fireplace at the Order Headquarters.
She had just arrived when a younger woman finished speaking, asking about if they had any photos of the men to look out for, and any spell related injuries. Apparently she was a Healer at St. Mungos in that word, Diane had never met her. In fact several of the people she never had the pleasure of meeting or ever seeing before. She nodded to the room as she exited the fireplace and stood near the back but, where she could keep an eye and hear everything. It seemed she had already missed important stuff she figured one of the men had to be about Ezra Reddington, she had already got the notification about that. However; who could be the other two. ”Sorry for my lateness, got wrapped up at the Ministry, may I ask who the other men are I am guessing one would be Reddington.”spoke Diane, she spoke clearly but she did feel a little bit off. She had never officially attended Order meetings before, her husband had but he was gone now, so her she was taking his place to stand and fight. She gave a quick smile to Hermione when her eyes spotted her, she was Diane’s boss and she considered her a friend as well.

"What a good dog! Sitting here so quietly." Rob had been watching the proceedings of the people that were here. When Constance came over to him and called him a good dog, for sitting there quietly and she also hugged him. He was content to sit there with her arm draped around him. As the meeting began however he knew that he wasn’t going to be able to keep his mouth shut any more, due to the nature of what they had just been told by Harry. “I have just been informed by Bill that Fenrir Greyback is back in country and is now missing his right arm thanks to the wand work of Bill…Also Argus, head of the Advanced Guard and a Senior Auror, has just told us that Ezra Reddington is also back in country… Anton Laporte has also come back to England. I know that only a few of you know who he is, but I am sure that several of you have no idea as to who he is.” Of course those three would come back to England just to cause havoc and sow terror within the people. Rob had dealt with Anton while he was over In the Americas and the man had killed several of his coworkers. He had pissed the man off several times and he was sure that he would probably be seeing Anton sooner rather than later.
"Do we have photos of the men so we know who to look out for, Mr. Potter?...and also signature spells and things they do to their victims could help. I'm a spell damage healer and I could be on the look out with people coming through my department," Rob listened to all that had been said about these three men and the questions that were being asked. Upon hearing about if they had pictures or not and also if there was any information on Anton who really was the unknown in this whole thing, Rob barked once before he transformed back into himself. With a wave of his wand which he had just pulled out, a copy of pictures that he had of Anton appeared before every member of the Order.
“This is Anton Laporte everyone. And as you heard from Neville he is worse than Ian Owens and is a lot younger. I have run across him before. Actually it was quite recent that I ran into him while I was on assignment in the Americas. Laporte has no signature move and he loves to torture people before killing them in the most gruesome ways. He does indeed use Egyptian spells but that isn’t all he uses. He also uses lost and forgotten spells from the ancient peoples of the Americas and other places around the world.“Rob paused and took a second to think of what other information was relevant about Anton Laporte. “I have seen him in action and he even killed many of those that went with me to the Americas. He is dangerous and not someone that you want to deal with on your own, so if you see him make sure you call for backup and wait.” At this point Rob stopped as memories of that fight flashed through his mind; sure it still bothered him since they had been close to capturing Laporte who was interfering with their original assignment.
Rob waved his wand once more and a chair appeared next to the chair that Constance currently sat in. Once he sat down Rob grabbed Constance’s hand and waited to hear about what everyone else had to say on the matter.

Hope was running a bit late thanks to some last minute people that had come into her department. They had been poisoned with the same poison that she had seen many people come in with the other week. As she stepped out of the fireplace at The Hill Hope could hear voices coming from a room nearby. She quickly made her way over to the room that the meeting was taking place in. Upon entering the room she looked around and saw many people that she knew, Sophie, Tom, and Constance. She pulled up a chair next to Sophie and Tom, two of her best friends from school, and they still happened to be best friends.
What she heard about these men was a little disconcerting since she had a feeling that one of them was responsible for issuing the poison and also using it on the people that had been coming into her department at St. Mungos. “At St. Mungos I have been getting a lot of patients lately that have been poisoned, with some of them being Ministry personnel. From what has been explained so far about these three men, could it be possible that this is the work of one of them?” She asked while looking around hoping that someone would know or would at least have an idea as to who was causing all of this mayhem. She noticed that most of the people in the room were mostly one family. But that did not really matter since Hope upon entering had felt that no matter what they would all be treated like family soon enough.

"Great to see you too, Sharpe. Thanks for the invite. Too bad I know absolutely no one. Next time I'll arrive fashionably late… Is Walt coming as well?" Tom couldn’t help but smirk at that. It was true while he did not know many of the people here either; he was sure that in a short amount of time that they would all become good friends. “I don’t think Walton is coming tonight, and plus I don’t even know if he is in the Order or not.” It was quite true he had no clue as to what Walton did besides being a professor for their friend had never really told them what he had been doing since he left the Ministry to go work for some organization or something like that. All Tom knew was that one day he had seen both Walton and Dorian in the Ministry taking some prisoners to the interrogation rooms and then the next time he saw them they were being escorted by two other wizards that he had never seen before from the Ministry. And since then he almost never saw them in the Ministry, if he had to hazard a guess their friends were probably now in an organization that did not exist. At that moment the meeting started just as Hope another one of their friends walked in.
Tom remained silent as he listened to the discussion that was going on right now about three men that they should be keeping an eye out for. It surprised him a little bit to see just how many people he knew that were part of the Order of the Phoenix. Namely both of his bosses, and then friends and acquaintances from work and those that he had met in passing before.

Victoire immediately snapped herself back to reality when Harry said that it was time to start the meeting. As the group shuffled to get comfortable, some taking seats and some leaning against the wall, Victoire found herself standing right behind her mothers chair. Until Teddy spoke. She snapped her vision over to him immediately, and suddenly found herself walking in his direction as he spoke. "I'm with Teddy on this one, the children of Hogwarts are my main concern," she spoke bravely, not at all showing that her heart was pounding at the fact that she had just said his name out loud. That she had agreed with him, or that she was suddenly standing right beside him. Her vision shifted to Zachary as he spoke and she nodded, "that is encouraging coming from a Professor, thank you Mr. Eielson." She spoke firmly and calmly, but with a strong passion in her voice. If there was anything that was causing her the most stress lately it was her worry for her cousin James and the others. She doted on James so much, and she couldn't stand to see him struggling. The idea of that pain being caused to other students dying and those other students finding their bodies was just too much for Victoire to bear. She found herself being extremely grateful to Teddy for bringing it up.
As the auror, Rob Hudson, spoke about Anton and showed images of him, Victoire started feeling sick to her stomach. Greyback, Anton and whoever else were running loose in the country, as well as the murderer at Hogwarts. And what was her boss doing about it? Hiding out in his office and signing silly papers that didn't change a thing in the world. Victoire finally sat down on the seat next to where Teddy was and ran her fingers through her hair. As people spoke about their hospital, ministry and other positions she realized that she was the only one here who was incredible close to the minster. This was like a rude awakening, but it gave her the strength to sit up straight and not show her weakness. She was a the only representative of the minster now, and she had to be better than him. She couldn't be a coward. She also couldn't let her worries for family get in the way of what was important. "I know finding these men is important as well, I'm prepared to do what is needed at the Ministers office," she felt strange, being in such a close position to the minster, being able to gather information that even her own parents couldn't. For a moment she felt proud, and like a needed part of the team.

Selliah was quiet as Neville responded to her. There was no reason for her not to trust what he had to say. She trusted him as much as she trusted her boss and heaad of this group. As much as she trusted anyone in this room. As far as she was concerned--everyone in this room was ally. They all had the same purpose, the same passion for seeing the dark arts and death eaters get squashed. They were all people she could trust. Well until they gave her a reason not to trust them. But with this bunch--she didn't see that happening. She bit her lip as he mentioned Anton being worse then Ian. Ian was already pretty damn psychotic in her books. A person being even more of a nutcase then he was? She wasn't even sure that was possible! And he seemed to be smart too. Another thing going against him. Plus he knew more about the poison side of things too so it seemed. Ugh. It seemed as if they had all the odds stacked against them with that guy never mind the other two. Their job just got a lot harder didn't it?
"...oh how pleasant." was her simple sarcastic reply as she bit her tongue to make sure that was ALL she said. Though she had much more on her mind--some of it wasn't fit for human ears let's just say. She took a few deep breaths to calm her thoughts as her jaw clenched. It was -- it was-- foolish! Crazy! Insane! What went through these peoples' heads!? It would forever be a mystery to her what justified these--criminal and inhuman acts in their heads. And the day she did get it was probably the day she should quit her job. But that wasn't the point right now. A few more people showed but Selliah didn't pay them much mind (not out of disrespect but because she was paying much more attention to what was going on around her). She heard Teddy and Victiore voice their concerns about the children at Hogwarts. Yes that was a great concern indeed. The children of that school had to be safe. That was their concern. And would her her top concern. As long as she is stationed there -- she would do her best to protect them all. It seemed as if Professor Eielson thought the same way and it was good to know. It felt good that they had several professors on their side--Zach, Neville, Walton--it was good to know that it wasn't just them.
But there was another concern now. One that had to be voiced. She couldn't keep it from them. It wouldn't be right. She knew it would piss them off...but she had no choice. Selliah cleared her thought as she turned towards the others--Harry and Neville specifically,
"Yes. About Ian Owens...." she said simply then paused. She wasn't sure how to say this. Or even if she should. She knew harry and Neville both were extremely family orientated men. She knew they were protective over their children. Fiercely so. And she knew they would both flip out as what Ian had bragged to her about. She paled slightly --the color leaving her cheeks as she suddenly felt herself as a rare loss for words. Selliah always had something to say. And she wasn't afraid to say what she had to say either. But this was different. Very different. And she wasn't sure about how to do this....
"We need to be careful about him. When I was there--half of what he boasted about was getting out of there. Of escaping. I can't help but think there's behind the scenes work. Work that we don't even know about. We need to make sure he stays where he is. That he doesn't get out." he voice cracked ever so slightly. Whether the death eater knew it or not--he had really rattled her nerves and ruffled her feathers. The things he said, the threats--it -- she mentally shuddered...
"He threatened to poison me. He threatened your children Harry. Yours too Neville. He talked about killing them all..." she faded out as she shook her head. It was something that had to be brought up. But still--

"So this Anton fellow? What do we have to watch out for?" That was an easy question to answer, and he was about to answer when both Neville and Rob gave the answer with the later of the two men providing a picture of Anton Laporte. “Anton’s worse. He’s younger and spryer, and he’s also sane enough to recognize when he can’t take someone on… Laporte’s got a penchant for death and torture. He’s not as good at causing mental trauma as Owens is, but he’s more capable of subtleties and knows a wider range of dark magic. I’ve heard he uses Egyptian spells. Everyone should be using their black market contacts to track imports from Egypt—in particular, snake venoms and other potion ingredients. Egyptian wizardry uses paired wands, a crook and a flail, to spellcast, but if Laporte’s using them, he probably already has them. Wouldn’t hurt to look into it just to be safe, though.” Neville was correct it was something to be on the lookout for. But Harry had gotten the hidden meaning of what Neville had just said and with a simple nod towards his friend. “Neville you know what to do.” Harry practically ordered Neville to go and talk to Draco Malfoy, a secret that only he and Neville knew about, who had finally turned out to be a good person. They hadn’t even told Hermione, Ron or even Ginny, but he had a feeling that his wife would figure it out sooner or later. “This is Anton Laporte everyone. And as you heard from Neville he is worse than Ian Owens and is a lot younger.” It was true and plus Harry had read the entire report from Rob about his encounter with Anton. Harry looked around at all of the people that were here, and few of them had arrived late but that was neither here nor there. He listened to those that were concerned about the Safety of the Students as well. But he could tell that was their main priority. And he couldn’t agree more. “At St. Mungos I have been getting a lot of patients lately that have been poisoned, with some of them being Ministry personnel. From what has been explained so far about these three men, could it be possible that this is the work of one of them?” At that information that he had received from Hope, it was a confirmed matter that those poisonings were a result of the work done by Ezra. “Yes It was the work of one of those men namely Ezra Reddington, who contacted me taking full responsibility for it.” Harry said as he looked at Hope confirming and answering her question at the same time. “We will be taking full measures of security for the students. Which is part of what we will be assigning to some of you tonight, during the meeting.” Harry stated in an authoritative tone, since it was an issue that he deeply had on his mind lately. "Yes. About Ian Owens.... We need to be careful about him. When I was there--half of what he boasted about was getting out of there. Of escaping. I can't help but think there's behind the scenes work. Work that we don't even know about. We need to make sure he stays where he is. That he doesn't get out… He threatened to poison me. He threatened your children Harry. Yours too Neville. He talked about killing them all..." Upon hearing those words Harry’s anger rose to a height that it hadn’t since the Second Wizarding War with Voldemort. And now there was someone threatening his children and the children of his friends. That would be the last straw, for he would and will kill Ian on site, without a second thought. And to top it all off the man had also threatened one of his aurors, who was a good friend of his. “Everyone if you have the unfortunate opportunity to run into Ian Owens you have full permission to kill him on site that is if he breaks out of Azkaban, as well as Anton if you are capable of doing so. I am giving you the permission to kill them, it does not come from me directly but it comes from an organization that very few people now about. The International Aurors. Do not ask me who is part of the IA for I cannot tell you, but we do have their full support.” Harry said in a very serious tone, for the Patronus he had gotten from Walton had confirmed the kill order on Ian Owens and Anton Laporte. He knew that those two would cause and wreak much destruction as well as killing anyone and everyone. Harry stood up straighter to judge the reactions of those present with being given the order to kill someone. He noticed that Victoire had taken a seat next to Teddy and couldn’t help but send a smirk towards Bill. It was something that they had planned on happening tonight.
