      "Where's Voldemort? What's he doing? I've been trying to watch the Muggle news," Harry said, ignoring the renewed shudders and winces at the name, "and there hasn't been anything that looks like him yet, no funny deaths or anything—"

      "That's because there haven't been any suspicious deaths yet," Sirius said, "not as far as we know, anyway. ... And we know quite a lot."

       "More than he thinks we do anyway," Lupin said.

      "How come he's stopped killing people?" Harry asked.

"Because he doesn't want to draw attention to himself at the moment," Sirius said. "It would be dangerous for him. His comeback didn't come off quite the way he wanted it to, you see. He messed it up."

      "Or rather, you messed it up for him," Lupin said with a satisfied smile.

    "How?" Harry asked perplexedly.

     "You weren't supposed to survive!" Sirius said. "Nobody apart from his Death Eaters was supposed to know he'd come back. But you survived to bear witness."

      "And the very last person he wanted to be alerted to his return the moment he got back was Dumbledore," Lupin said. "And you made sure Dumbledore knew at once."

       "How has that helped?" Harry asked.

      "Are you kidding?" Bill said incredulously. "Dumbledore was the only one You-Know-Who was ever scared of!"

     "Thanks to you, Dumbledore was able to recall the Order of the Phoenix about an hour after Voldemort returned," Sirius said.

        "So what's the Order been doing?" Harry said, looking around at them all.

       "Working as hard as we can to make sure Voldemort can't carry out his plans," Lyra said.

         "How d'you know what his plans are?" Harry asked quickly.

        "Dumbledore's got a shrewd idea," Lupin said, "and Dumbledore's shrewd ideas normally turn out to be accurate."

     "So what does Dumbledore reckon he's planning?"

    "Well, firstly, he wants to build up his army again," Sirius said. "In the old days he had huge numbers at his command; witches and wizards he'd bullied or bewitched into following him, his faithful Death Eaters, a great variety of Dark creatures. You heard him planning to recruit the giants; well, they'll be just one group he's after. He's certainly not going to try and take on the Ministry of magic with only a dozen Death Eaters."

      "So you're trying to stop him from getting more followers?"

     "We're doing our best," Lupin said.

     "How?"

      "Well, the main thing is to try and convince as many people as possible that you-Know-Who has returned, to put them on their guard," Bill said. "It's proving tricky, though."

    "Why?"

      "Because of the Ministry's attitude," Tonks said. "You saw Cornelius Fudge after You-Know-Who came back, Harry. Well, he hasn't shifted his position at all. He's refusing to believe it's happened."

    "But why?" Harry said desperately. "Why's he being so stupid? If Dumbledore —"

        "Ah, well, you've put your finger on the problem," Mr. Weasley said with an awry smile. "Dumbledore."

       "Fudge is frightened of him, you see," Tonks said sadly.

      "Frightened of Dumbledore?" Harry said incredulously.
