After a week or so, Madam Pomfrey finally let you leave the hospital wing.
You were disappointed to find that you had missed three weeks of school, and in your OWL year too.
When you left the hospital wing, the gashes on your arms had scarred, they were apparently from dark magic, and would never fade.
The first thing you asked, was if anyone knew who saved you.
All they knew was that you had been rescued in the night, and taken to the hospital wing.
Perhaps this was just one of those things you'd never know.

On the bright side, you were back in time for a very exciting thing.

The order of the Phoenix.

Dumbledore wrote to a select group of students about joining a group to fight off the death eaters.
You hadn't thought they were very dangerous, until you found out about their leader.

His name was Voldemort.

And he was the man who had captured you.
He and his cronies were out torturing and killing muggle-borns, half-breeds, blood traitors and LGBTQIA+ people.
That basically summed up your entire friend group. Except Peter, but he would die to protect his friends.
The meetings were to be once a week, in the room of requirement.
There were many of your friends, but also graduates too.
Edgar Bones, Caradoc Dearborn, Dedalus Diggle, Elphias Doge, Aberforth Dumbledore, Benjy Fenwick, Mundungus Fletcher, Hagrid, Alice, Frank, Remus, Marlene, Dorcas, Peter, Lily, James, Sirius, Professor McGonagall, Gideon and Fabian Prewett - Molly's brothers -, Alastor Moody - the famous Auror - and Emmeline Vance.

After the first meeting, the adults decided that Professor McGonagall and Madeye would train all the students.

If Spike disarmed you one more time in Charms you would not hesitate to transfigure his brick that he was supposed to be levitating into a snake.
"Spike. I get you're practising but I'm trying to levitate Moony without dropping him" you huffed.
"Right. Sorry, levitate the brick, levitate the brick" he muttered to himself.
After his third attempt the brick turned to dust.
He slammed his hands down on the desk.
"F*** charms" he shouted.
Sirius gently placed his hand on Spike's shoulder.
"Hey, it's OK. Just breathe, c'mon in, and out" he whispered.
"Sorry" Spike mumbled.
"Here, it's your accent, this is a British charm, so enunciation is the key" Sirius explained.
"Try over enunciating" he added.
"Wingardium Leviosa" Spike said clearly, swishing and flicking his wand at Sirius' brick.
It immediately ascended into the air.
"See, you can do it" he smiled.
Honestly, could they be any more cute?
👧🏻❤🐺
"Yn, I gotta tell you something" Spike said excitedly in the common room that night.
"What" you asked.
"Not here, some where private" he urged.
"Come on, follow me" you whispered.
You dragged him into a bathroom on the second floor.
"Enlighten me, why are we in the middle of a girl's lavatory" he asked.
"No-one ever comes in here" you explained.
"Why not" Spike asked.
"Moaning Myrtle" you explained.
"Who's Moaning Myrtle" asked Spike.
"I'm Moaning Myrtle" cried a ghost.
"Hi Myrtle, you promise you won't tell anyone what Spike's going to tell me ok" you asked her.
"Alright, but only because you're nice to me" Myrtle agreed, then she floated back to her toilet cubicle.
"So Spike, what is it" you asked.
"I kinda like someone" he admitted.
"Ooooh who" you asked, almost sure you knew.
"I- you have to promise not to tell" he muttered.
"I solemnly swear that I won't tell any living being" you said.
"No. You're not telling Myrtle either" he said eyeing you carefully.
"Fine"
"I like... Sirius" he admitted, he cheeks tinted pink.
