A/N: And here's the first chapter of the third part in the Tori and Gabe series! We're on to Order of the Phoenix, which means the awful Dolores Umbridge! I don't have much to say for this author's note, except for, I know that this chapter is going to be a little boring but I promise, the next will be better. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, or any of its characters, for they belong to J.K. Rowling. I only own my original characters; Victoria and Gabriel, plus any small plot tweaks that I think will make my story that much better.

Some nights I stay up cashing in my bad luck
Some nights I call it a draw
Some nights I wish that my lips could build a castle
Some nights I wish they'd just fall off

But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh, Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for oh
Whoa oh oh (What do I stand for?)
Whoa oh oh (What do I stand for?)
Most nights I don't know anymore...

Some Nights - FUN.

Harry,

So perhaps you were right about me taking weeks to respond, but you have to admit, I'm getting better! I've been talking to Padfoot and Uncle Remus a lot about you coming to stay with us, since I know you miss Padfoot, and Padfoot misses you and all that, and they've been really cryptic about their answers, but from what I inferred, you'll be away from those relatives of yours before summer's out! Good news, eh? I don't really have a lot of time to respond. Gabe's anxious to send off a letter to Ginny and he doesn't want Argon flying around all night… Or something like that. Who knows with him? Personally, I think he's just being selfish with his owl.

Anyway, hope that Uncle and Aunt of yours are treating you well. Well, as well as they feel inclined to, anyway. If not you can always use the convict godfather trick! That'll surely keep them in line.

Write back soon! And I'll try to respond within the week. Emphasis on 'try'.

Joking. I will.

-Tori

Tori folds the letter and seals it before lazily rolling off of her bed and walking out of her room and across the hall to Gabe's room. She stops in front of the closed door before knocking repeatedly on it.

"Oh Gabriel," Tori sings while continuously knocking on the door. She frowns when he doesn't answer, and knocks harder on the door. "Open up, brother!" she calls, and sighs when she still gets no answer. Eventually she stops knocking and kneels down on the floor and begins trying to shove the letter to Harry under Gabe's door.

"Victoria, what are you doing?" Remus' voice calls from the end of the short hallway, and Tori freezes before looking up at him sheepishly.

"Well… Dearest twin won't open his bloody bedroom door," Tori says, looking away from Remus and scowling at the door. "And I need to borrow Argon."

"Why don't you just go in?" Remus questions with a raised eyebrow and Tori looks at him incredulously.

"Uncle Remus… He could be naked," Tori states as if it's obvious, and Remus' lips twitch slightly, showing Tori that he's obviously fighting an amused smile.

"Astounding logic, but you don't have to worry about that, darling, he went to the Weasley's just a little while ago," Remus says, and Tori's jaw drops.

"Without me?!" she asks loudly, before turning sharply and shoving Gabe's bedroom door open. She enters the bedroom, grumbling under her breath as she moves to the cage containing Gabe's owl. She pulls the cage door open and sticks her arm inside, and the brown and white barn owl clings onto her arm. "Okay, I need you to be nicer than your owner, and take this to Harry, alright?" Tori asks, holding up the letter, and Argon takes it in his beak before flying out the open window. Afterwards, Tori marches into the living room where she sees her dad sitting on the couch with the Daily Prophet in his hands. She walks over to one of the armchairs in the room and grips the back of it before beginning to push it over to the door.

"I'm almost reluctant to ask… But I have to. What are you doing?" Sirius asks, lifting an eyebrow at his daughter as he watches her struggle to push the large chair to the front door.

"That treacherous brother of mine," she starts before letting out a grunt of exertion as she pushes the heavy chair, "went to the Weasley's without even a word to me. And that," grunt, "is unacceptable. So, I decided that I'm going to sit here and wait for him to get back, right in front of the door so that my angry face is the first thing he sees when he walks in the door."

"Having trouble?" Sirius asks after a few moments of watching his daughter valiantly try to push the heavy chair to the door.

"Me? Not at all!" Tori denies, vehemently, before taking a pause, and leaning on the chair, breathing heavily. "Merlin why do we have this thing?" she whispers, apparently loud enough for Sirius to hear, due to the bark of laughter that erupts from him, which reminds Tori heavily of her own laugh. She pushes the chair a little farther before quitting, and walking to the door. She walks outside, shutting the door behind her, before walking back in, and looking at the position of the chair. She scowls slightly when she sees that the position of the chair isn't to her liking, and she walks back in the house, moving back behind the chair. She places her hands on the back of the chair, once again, and this time, when she goes to push the chair moves much easier than last time. She keeps her eyes firmly locked on the open front door as she pushes, and when the chair is in the perfect place, she drops her hands with a triumphant look. Tori holds the smug, triumphant look as she turns around to gloat to her father, but her face falls when she sees him standing next to her with a similar smug look on his face.

Sirius witnesses the change in his daughter's face, and it takes everything in him not to burst out laughing. How he'd managed to help her move the chair without her noticing, he'll never know.

Tori sees that her dad is trying hard not to laugh, and she scowls at him.

"I could have done that myself," Tori says, and Sirius scoffs.

"You're welcome," he remarks, sarcastically.

"I never said 'thank you'," Tori says, walking around the chair and standing in the open doorway, checking the position of the chair, and nodding slightly when she finds that it would be the first thing Gabe sees when he walks inside.

"You just did," Sirius points out, walking back to the couch and watching his daughter work with interest. Tori sends her dad a playful stink eye before shutting the front door and sitting down in the chair, practicing an angry look.

"Should I give him this look," Tori starts, turning in her chair to face her father with a hard scowl, "or this look," she finishes, pulling her face into a cool gaze. Sirius tilts his head slightly, actually thinking it over.

"Go with the latter. The indifferent look is much more frightening," he says, and Tori nods before turning back around, and finding an intimidating position to sit in. She sits with her head held high, back straight, one leg crossed over the other, elbows propped up on the arm rests, and her fingertips touching each other while her expression is pulled into the indifferent look. She turns her head around slightly when she hears Remus enter the room, and he sends her a curious look when he sees one of the armchairs pushed over to the front door.

"Why?" he questions simply, and she opens her mouth to respond, but Sirius beats her to it.

"She wants her angry face to be the first thing that, and I quote, 'that treacherous brother of hers', to see when he walks through the door," Sirius says, and Tori gives Remus a firm nod before turning back around in her seat, her eyes firmly planted on the door. After a few minutes, Tori slumps in her seat and sighs.

"This is boring," she whines, standing up. She looks sharply at the door when she hears the knob turn, and she quickly sits back down in the chair. She races to shift into her intimidating position, and fixes her face into the indifferent look that she practiced. She narrows her eyes when her twin walks through the door, and his eyes settle on her.

"What?" he asks, defensively, and her eyes narrow farther.

"So, where were you?" she asks, and Gabe simply stares at her with an incredulous look on his face.

"At… The Weasley's," he says, glancing behind Tori at Remus and Sirius who are watching with amused faces.

"And you went without me," Tori says, and Gabe rolls his eyes at Tori's dramatics.

"I didn't realize I needed to extend an invitation for you to walk down the road," Gabe says before brushing past Tori to go to his bedroom, and Tori frowns at his attitude.

"What's the matter with you?" Tori asks, walking after her brother.

"Nothing," he mutters before going into his bedroom, and shutting the door behind him.

"Well, fine! I didn't want to know anyway!" Tori shouts before stomping away from his door childishly.

Gabe rolls his eyes and sighs before flopping down on his bed. He lies back and places his hands behind his head. He didn't mean to be so rude to Tori, but Gabe currently has a lot on his mind. Mostly school and very conflicting thoughts about Ginny Weasley. On one hand, he really fancies Ginny. He finds her smart, witty, clever, absolutely beautiful, and just an all around great person to be around. He knows that she returns his feelings whole heartedly, and that makes him positively elated. On the other hand, he feels as if he shouldn't have those feelings about Ginny, considering he's known her since she was just a child, and he feels as if he should see her as a sister, and not a love interest. He lets out a frustrated groan, and drags his hands down his face before glancing at his desk, finding Argon's cage empty, and his bedroom window wide open. He frowns before realizing that Tori must have sent off a letter to somebody, and he rises from his bed. He walks over to the window and shuts it with a little more force than necessary. Gabe jumps slightly when there's a series of loud, repetitive knocks on his bedroom door.

"I can't take the suspense anymore!" Tori cries dramatically while knocking on the door, making Gabe shut his eyes and shake his head while fighting an amused grin. He walks over to the door and opens it while Tori is mid-knock. "There's something wrong. I can feel it. What's wrong? Please tell me!"

"Would you relax?" Gabe asks, pulling Tori into his room and shutting the door. Tori glances at the door and looks at Gabe curiously. Gabe maintains eye contact with his twin before letting out a large sigh, and flopping back down on his bed, laying down and covering his face with one of his pillows. Tori hops up on Gabe's desk, and simply stares at him questioningly. Soon enough, Gabe lifts the pillow from his face and meets Tori's gaze before letting out another sigh. "I'm conflicted," he says, simply, and Tori lifts an eyebrow.

"About?" she asks, and Gabe hesitates.

"Ginny," he says, and Tori grins devilishly at him. "You see? That's why I didn't want to tell you!" he exclaims, pointing at her, and the grin is immediately wiped from her face.

"Alright, alright, I'm sorry," Tori genuinely apologizes, taking Gabe by surprise. "What about her?"

"I… Fancy her," Gabe says, and Tori stares blankly at him.

"And?" Tori asks, not seeing the problem.

"And? And I shouldn't fancy her!" Gabe exclaims, looking at his sister as if she's stupid.

"Why not?" Tori asks, frowning.

"Because… Because it's Ginny! I've known her since she was a child!" Gabe says, and Tori scoffs and rolls her eyes.

"When she was a child, so were we!" Tori says. "And besides, she's not a child anymore. She's only a year below us."

"You don't understand-," Gabe starts.

"No, I don't. The two of you fancy each other, but you're too busy being ridiculous to do anything about it. I know that she makes you happy, so why does anything else matter?" Tori asks, rising to her feet and moving toward his bedroom door, throwing a pointed look at him before wrenching the door open. She snorts in amusement when she sees their father standing on the other side of the door, obviously listening in to what they were talking about, and Gabe flushes in embarrassment. "Maybe you can talk some sense into this idiot," Tori mutters before walking around Sirius and down the hallway.

Minutes later, Tori sits on the couch, reading and scoffing at the issue of the Daily Prophet that her father was previously reading when there's a knock at the door. Tori straightens up significantly, and watches as Remus exits the kitchen, where he was busy making dinner, and walks to the front door, drawing his wand. He throws a pointed glance at Tori and she rises from where she was sitting, and moves to the hallway. She peeks around the corner and her eyebrows raise when Remus opens the front door, revealing Professor Dumbledore on the other side, clad in blue robes, and his hands clasped in front of him.

"Albus," Remus greets.

"Good evening, Remus," Dumbledore responds, pleasantly. Remus moves to the side, gesturing for Dumbledore to enter the house, and Remus shuts the door behind him. Tori steps out from behind the wall, and Dumbledore regards her with a kind smile.

"Ah, Miss Black, how are you this evening?" Dumbledore asks, curiously.

"Very well, sir," Tori says, politely.

"Victoria why don't you go ask your father to join Albus and I in the kitchen. You and Gabriel-," Remus starts.

"Stay out, yeah, got it," Tori mumbles before exiting the room, and walking down the hallway, and knocking on Gabe's door. Moments later, Gabe opens the door, and Tori immediately sees their father leaning against the wall next to the door. "Professor Dumbledore's here. He and Uncle Remus want you to join them in the kitchen," she says, and Sirius nods before exiting Gabe's bedroom, patting Gabe on the shoulder and Tori on the head on his way out. The hat Tori wears shifts slightly on her head, and she straightens it out before narrowing her eyes at her father's retreating form. "And we're supposed to stay out," she says to Gabe.

"Obviously," he mutters, clearly unhappy about this, just as Tori is. "We're not really going to, are we?"

"Of course not, give it a few moments," Tori says, leaning against the doorframe, and smirking at her twin. After about a minute, Tori and Gabe exit his bedroom and walk down the hallway, eventually arriving at the closed kitchen door, and both of them press their ears against the dark wood.

"-big enough. It's the least I could do," they hear their father say.

"I really appreciate this, Sirius," Dumbledore responds, and the twins look at each other with identical frowns on their faces.

"The full moon is next week. We'll leave before then," Remus interjects, and the twins' frowns deepen. They then hear Dumbledore telling Remus and Sirius that he has to leave, and Tori and Gabe quickly rush away from the door, each of them entering Gabe's bedroom, and Tori slams the door shut behind them. She turns to look at Gabe, and she frowns when he stares at her with wide, incredulous eyes.

"What?" she asks, and Gabe lets out an exasperated noise while his hands fly to his hair.

"Did you have to slam the door?!" he whisper-shouts. "They'll know we were listening now, stupid!"

"Bloody hell," Tori mutters, seeing the error in her plan. "I didn't even think of that."

"Of course you didn't," Gabe grumbles, lying back on his bed, and shutting his eyes. Tori walks over to the window and opens it when Argon arrives, and he flies in before landing on the headboard of Gabe's bed. The twins quickly look at the door when Remus opens it, and Gabe sits up on the bed while Tori fully faces the door.

"Yes?" they ask at the same time, and Remus gives them a knowing smile.

"How much did you hear?" he asks, and the twins both give him their best innocent look. "I see right through those looks, but no matter. Come," he says, gesturing for the twins to follow him. Tori and Gabe glance at each other before following Remus. When they enter the living room, they see Sirius sitting in one of the armchairs, and Remus gestures for the twins to sit on the couch.

"You know, this is usually what happens right before Tori gets a lecture," Gabe announces, followed by a slap to the back of the head by Tori. The then thinks it over a bit before looking between Sirius and Remus.

"This… Isn't a lecture though, right? Because I haven't done anything to deserve one in a couple of days," Tori says, frowning.

"No, this isn't a lecture," Remus says. "There is something we need to discuss though."

"You know, I'll bet it has something to do with why Dumbledore was here," Tori mutters to Gabe sarcastically, making him roll his eyes and shove her playfully. She narrows her eyes and shoves him back. "What is it?"

"We're moving," Sirius says, bluntly, making the twins look at him, curiously.

"Moving?" Gabe asks.

"Where?" Tori adds on to Gabe's question.

"To the house I grew up in," he says, and the twins frown in confusion.

"Why are we going there?" Gabe asks, remembering how Sirius said that he didn't have a great childhood, due to his family.

"Because it's been made into headquarters for the Order," Remus says, and the twins both look at him with raised eyebrows. "The Weasley's will be relocating there as well, along with Harry who will join us towards the end of the summer."

"Can Hermione come, too?" Tori asks excitedly.

"Merlin Tori, it's not a hotel," Gabe mutters, rolling his eyes at his sister, but Tori merely ignores him.

"If she wants to, and her parents allow her to, then of course she can," Remus says, and Tori nods happily. "The four of us and the Weasley's will be moving in on Monday, so I would suggest that you begin packing tonight, tomorrow at the latest," he says, looking pointedly at Tori, seeing as how she has a knack for procrastinating.

"Fine, fine," Tori says, leaning back on the couch.

"Alright, you should go and write to Hermione now to get word to her as soon as possible," Remus says, and Tori looks at Gabe questioningly.

"Go ahead," Gabe sighs, giving Tori the go ahead to use his owl.

"Thanks, twin," Tori chirps before quickly rising from her seat and going to her bedroom.

Hermione,

We received a visit from Professor Dumbledore today, and he, Uncle Remus, and Padfoot all had a secret meeting. And you'll be pleased to know that I didn't start listening in until the very end. Anyway, afterwards Gabe and I were informed that we're moving to the new headquarters for the 'you-know-what'. The Weasley's will be moving in also, and apparently Harry will as well at the end of the summer. So, I asked, and you've been invited as well! That is, if you want to, and your mum and dad say it's alright.

Send word back as soon as possible. I'll tell Argon to wait for your response.

Tori looks at the door when Gabe opens it with Argon resting on his arm.

"Put in that letter for Hermione to give him some water when he arrives," he says, and Tori nods before going back to writing.

If you could give Argon a little water, that would be great. Gabe's request.

-Tori
