C6: Out of the loop
Albus Dumbledore couldn't decide, whether things were going brilliant or right down the gutter.
On one hand, the fight against the current Dark Lord was going great.
Support was coming in nicely, membership in the Order of the Phoenix had tripled in the last few weeks.
Testing and introducing of new members as well as organising missions for them as well as sorting through incoming intelligence took almost all of his 'free time' between Hogwarts and the Ministry now.
While he finally got Horace Slughorn to agree on retaking the post as Potions Professor – Severus had gladly accepted the switch to DADA – and Minerva took care of most of his new paperwork, they still were taking care of the mess Dolores made in her attempt to take over.
Things at the Ministry weren't much better, there were piles of paperwork coming into his office each day, both for his position as Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot as well as Head of the ICW.
Most of it came from the Minister's Office and he had yet to get anything from there which he didn't approve of from there.
It seemed Harry's influence did bring out the best in Cornelius.
The boy was another reason for him being overworked.
Suddenly he had forgotten where Harry lived.
After panicking shortly a calm and amused Minerva had told him to simply put on the amulet the young lad had given him and ask him what happened.
Not that it calmed him that the boy meddled with the Wards he had placed around whichever place it was, where he lived, no he refused to let anyone, even him, Albus Dumbledore in on the secret.
Instead he had flashed over and discussed the matter a couple of hours later – without giving in the slightest bit.
Also Harry's friends seemed just as controllable than the lad himself – not at all.
While he had access to young Draco and the Weasly's, they tended to dis- and reappear randomly and if what he had seen the youngest Malfoy do while training with Sirius was any indication for the duelling skills of the group, then he had much to worry about.
They were much too young to take part in the fight against the dark, yet they were already highly skilled and equipped soldiers.
Said equipment came to a good part from the Weasly twins, who also supplied his Order.
His initial refusal to let them join him while still students now came back onto him hard.
Between their shop, inventing new jokes and Handy Gadgets and 'their work for Harry's Group' they didn't have the time to spare to join the Order of the Phoenix, as they had replied when invited.
There went his best shot at intelligence from the Dark Order – he so didn't like that name.
He worried about the boy turning dark, the other students in his Group, them not getting their proper childhood because of this dammed war and now he didn't even have enough time to work on his other project.
Unfortunately it was way to important to keep it secret, else he could take Severus, Fillius and the oldest Weasly son, William with him so they could help him with the wards, traps and dark spells in the place, but he didn't dare, so he had had to postpone the retrieval part his project until the days before start of school.
The old Headmaster neither knew that several of his order members had already joined the Dark Order, including Minerva McGonagall, nor did Severus Snape – his spy – inform him that he was transporting letters between Draco Malfoy and his Mother – Owls were simply not secure enough and it was but a small favour to his godson – possible without any risk of blowing his cover.
The old man didn't share much of the important information he had with others especially Harry was more often than not left out of the loop.
Harry in turn did now the same thing to him, but for a different reason.
Instead of the Greater Good, he did it for the people around him.
