The Order of the Phoenix is gathering again. The war against the dark wizard Grindewald seems minor to what is advancing now. A new Dark Lord is on the rise, ready to kill all the mudbloods out of his way, and become the greatest sorcerer in the world. He is getting more followers by the day and getting stronger with each passing month, Spies are getting bolder and are more of them then ever seen before in Hogwarts alone. But will he succeed? Make sure that you destroy him, together with the Order, or be doomed to get killed by his hand.
MM, let's go backinto the past;;
Month
June
June already?!
Where's the year gone?!
Exams are here and there's nothing you can do but go go go! For all those that studied, the results should be incredible, for those that did not, well . . . lets just keep our fingers crossed shall we?
Lets not forget though, once these exams are over and done with, we move into the summer holidays. Great news for most, but seventh year students, it's time to leave behind you the ways of Hogwarts and to take on the world alone. Jobs, jobs, jobs. That's all you'll know now until retirement. Bet you wished you'd savoured school a little more now, eh?

__Coomb House A stone built cottage in the heart of Colyton, Devon. A roomy cottage with plenty of space and room so you never actually have to see anyone if you do not wish to. Upstairs consists simply of the master bedroom, second bedroom and three spare bedrooms. All of a generous size. Separate en-suite to the master and second bedrooms and a communal toilet/bathroom for the rest of the house. Down stairs sees a small kitchen where one old house elf works, dining room, study, living room, outhouse, outside toilet, court yard and garden. The attic is run down and dangerous. No one ventures there though there is no reason to. All that takes up space in the attic is dust, spiders, cobwebs and the occasional nesting bird. Dorcas' room has a warm beige carpet with deep red walls surrounding. A mahogany desk sits in the far right corner with the window to the left, allowing her to see out down the garden. Desk cluttered with pieces of parchment, pictures of friends and somewhere, beneath all the bits of scrap parchment, a little black book she keeps to herself.
Her bed is a roomy queen sized one she practically had to beg her mother for. Covered with blankets for when the warm days turn to cold nights, she takes pride in how it looks. No man has ever seen it but it's her retreat. When everything becomes too much for her at home she likes to rest upon her bed and partake in her favourite hobby, dress making.
All done by hand Dorcas has draws filled with material and all her sewing needs. She has a wardrobe full of clothes she has made for her self to the right of her bed and left as you enter the room, and a chest of draws filled with more clothes, though not hers. Items she makes for the local charities her mother deems worthless, filled the bottom two draws. The top two draws contain her knickers and socks. One pair of knickers per day. No more, no less. What happens to them is anyones guess.

__The Paquet Estate An old family castle, it is located on a sprawling estate. half of the castle is built on land, and the other half is built on water, with part of the castle suspended over the clear blue lake. surrounded by rolling green hills, there is no other house for miles around. Even though the outside looks cold, with the vines creeping over the grey stone, the inside is decorated quite warmly, with rugs and tapestries covering up most of the walls. As well, light colored decorations such as light blue, and white are used, rather than black and dark green. Even though the family is a magical one, they have many muggle inventions in the household, from computers to telephones.
Angelique's bedroom is extremely large, and is decorated in light pink and white. One wall is completely glass, giving her an amazing view of her backyard. She has a few pieces of light, wooden furniture against the glass wall, one of them a light, wooden chest of drawers. On top of that, Angelique has placed exotic flowers which give her room a lovely scent. Her bed is made of a light colored wood, and is covered in white sheets. Her headboard is a large, white and light pink leather covered square, which reached the ceiling. If you walked behind it, the doorway to Angelique's spacious closet would be visible.
On the wooden floor, a sheepskin rug covers it so that when Angelique wakes up in the morning, her feet won't be meeting the cold wooden boards. Modern, white lights hang from the ceiling, supported by thin wires. On another side of the wall, she has a white, flat screen television, with a low, light wooden side table underneath. On top of it, Angelique has placed a pink DVD player, along with many other electronics. Along the same wall, Angelique has the controls to 4 floor to ceiling speakers place in every corner of her room, from where she can listen to the radio, or to her iPod.

Ontop of the fireplace sit the few unsmashed photoframes with pictures of a woman with thick eyebrows and occassionally some including a small but serious looking boy and a broad-shouldered man with a hooked nose. progressing straight through the room one comes to two doors, one leads down to a workshop with carpentry tools and the garage attaced to that. The other door leads up to the first floor landing where all the bedrooms and the bathroom and toilet are located. there is a small square of Plywood that can be moved and an entrance to the attic revealed on the cieling.

If you pass through the large silver gate, you will see a huge, immaculate garden and a tiny stream, with a bridge over it to step onto the entrance of the house.
