Author's Note: Alright! I had this cooking up way before the DA story. So after some advice from a fellow author, I've decided to put it up. I hope you like it!

Disclaimer: The first part of the story comes directly from the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. So that, and the character and etc do not belong to me.

It was a summer day when Harry Potter, Mad-Eye, Tonks, Remus Lupin, Hestia Jones, and various others had flown to Number 12, Grimmauld Place. Harry had gone up to the room where he was to be sleeping to find his two best friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. He had been yelling and questioning them about the Order, when Fred and George, Ron's elder twin brothers, had materialized in the middle of the room.

"Stop doing that!" Hermione said weakly to the twins, who were as vividly red-haired as Ron, though stockier and slightly shorter.

"Hello, Harry," said George, beaming at him. "We thought we heard your dulcet tones."

"You don't want to bottle up your anger like that, Harry, let it all out," said Fred, also beaming. "There might be a couple of people fifty miles away who didn't hear you."

"You two passed your Apparation tests, then?" asked Harry grumpily.

"With distinction," said Fred, who was holding what looked like a piece of very long, flesh colored string.

"It would have taken you about thirty seconds longer to walk down the stairs," said Ron.

"Time is Galleons, little brother," said Fred. "Anyway, Harry, you're interfering with reception. Extendable Ears," he added in response to Harry's raised eyebrows, and held up the string which Harry now saw was trailing out on to the landing. "We're trying to hear what's going on downstairs."

Then, suddenly, the house started shaking. BOOM. The sound of what sounded like an explosion came from the entrance hall.

"Well, I guess the Extendable Ears aren't needed to hear that," Fred muttered.

The teens looked at one another before running out the door, down the stairs to find the adults walking towards the hall as well. Not a split second later Ginny was there as well.

"What was that?" she whispered.

Hermione shrugged, looking bewildered.

"I suppose we're about to find out," Harry said with his wand in his hand.

When they all arrived there they saw something they hadn't expected. In the hall were eleven strangers. They stopped all movements when they caught sight of the others.

"Great," groaned a bushy red-headed girl. "What have you done now?"

Author's Note: Heh, heh. Just a reminder to everyone; I am doing everything cannon. And if you think this story is not worth your time because the chapters are too short - believe me; by the third one, they will be longer. 6 pages, I think. I'm updating the next one right now since it's already done.
