Chapter 65: Back to the Order of the Phoenix

"What? I can ride a broomstick. Ginny kept looking at Harry, but immediately reacted, "Ah, I mean, I can ride a broomstick, but I haven't been feeling well lately, so it's better for Harry to take me." ā€

"I haven't been feeling well lately~" Tonks looked at Ginny with an eerie smile, her hair turning a bubblegum-like pink.

"So be it, let's go. Moody interrupted Tonks impatiently, "Stop playing with your hair, Nymphadora. ā€

"Madeye, can't you call me Tonks like Gildero!" Tonks screamed, stepping on a broomstick.

The others all stepped on the broomsticks, Ginny sat behind Harry and hugged Harry, and Hermione sat behind Lockhart and hugged him, putting her head behind Lockhart and greedily sniffing Lockhart's body.

"Hermione, put your arm around my waist, and don't tickle me, we're going to fall. Lockhart was a little uncomfortable.

"Well, everyone is keeping up, and although the Death Eaters have been hit hard, be vigilant!" Moody reminded.

Lockhart kicked the ground. The cool night breeze whistled through his hair, and what was on the ground shrank rapidly, turning into a dark green and black square. He felt Hermione's arms and legs behind him clinging to his body, and let out a scream, not sure if he was really scared or what.

Lockhart glanced at Ginny, who was hugging Harry, who was looking much more natural and was happily chatting with Harry.

"There are a few low clouds over there, we can hide inside!" Moody shouted again.

"Don't go through the clouds!" Tonks cried out in annoyance, "we're going to get soaked, Mad Eye!"

"It's night and we can fly along the river. "Lockhart built yƬ road.

A group of people, quickly skimming the river, the river shimmering in the moonlight and starlight, and the parliament building shining brightly beside it.

From time to time, they changed course at Moody's orders, and it was not known how long they had been flying.

"It's landing!" Tonks shouted, and after a few seconds she was on the ground.

"Where is this?" asked Harry.

"Order of the Phoenix headquarters," Hermione leaned limply against Lockhart, "it's so exciting to ride a broomstick, I can't even stand still." ā€

"You're not riding a broomstick, Hermione. Lockhart corrected her, "You're just sitting on a broom and screaming." ā€

Hermione blushed and lowered her head, and Ginny let out a silver bell-like laugh.

Moody rummaged through his robes for something.

"I almost forgot," Moody whispered, shoving a piece of parchment into Harry's hand. He approached the parchment with a glowing wand and illuminated the handwriting on it: "Hurry up and remember what is on it." ā€

"Remember, Harry. Lockhart urged.

"Well, remember, but what is a phoenix--?" Harry was about to ask.

"Think about what you just saw," Moody said, squeezing his crutches.

To Harry's astonished gaze, 12 Grimmauld Place appeared in front of him.

"The Loyalty Mantra, I can tell you how it works. Even though Hermione was still leaning limply on Lockhart, she couldn't help but tease," the professor told me. ā€

"Hurry up and get in," Moody said, pushing Harry on the back.

Moody continued to open the door with his magic, and the group walked into the headquarters.

There was a rush of footsteps, and Ginny's mother stepped out from behind the conference room at the end of the hallway. She smiled and hurried over to them, hugging Harry, "Harry, you're skinny, remember to take care of your nutrition, but I'm afraid you'll have to wait a little before dinner." ā€

He then hugged Hermione and Ginny, and then whispered to Lockhart and Moody Tonks behind him, "He's just arrived, and the meeting has begun." ā€

Lockhart and the others then walked to the conference room, and Harry tried to follow Lockhart, but Jasmine pulled him back.

"No, Harry, this meeting is only for members. Ron is upstairs, and you all wait until the meeting is over, and then we'll have dinner. Remember to speak quietly in the halls. ā€

Lockhart remembered something, and turned back to warn Harry and Hermione: "Sue George and Fred, don't eavesdrop again, or I promise I'll deduct their points next semester." ā€

"Oh. Hermione replied reluctantly
