           THEY REFUSED TO INDUCT ELARA INTO THE ORDER. dumbledore felt that the less she knew, the less danger she'd be in. elara called bullshit. she was already in danger, no matter what. voldemort wanted elara's power. he wanted her to be on his side. the more elara knew, the more she'd be able to help. in a fit of spite and anger, elara began to stop telling the order what she'd been dreaming about. it was only then they 'half-inducted' her. she was only allowed to attend the less important meetings. any information she got, she spread to ron, hermione, fred, george, aurora, and ginny. it'd gotten harder to do so recently. aunt meda, uncle ted, and nymphie were all in the order. they knew elara better than anybody. now, elara could only talk to hermione, aurora, ginny at night.

            aunt meda joined the order as soon as she heard about it from nymphie. last time voldemort was in power, she'd done nothing. she was ashamed of it. uncle ted joined for muggle perspective. any suspicious rumors flying around about any suspicious activity, he would report to the order. aurora's parents joined. they rarely came as they already had business with the fae ministry. thomas, aurora's father, was a highly respected individual in the fae community, and was doing all he could to alert others of voldemort's return. corrine sharpe, the former captain of the hufflepuff quidditch team, joined within days. corrine had the nastiest temper out of any individual. she's still working on her auror training, but the department already loves her. 

            elara's dreams have started to become 'fainting spells'. she'd suddenly zone out, drop whatever she was holding, and fall. the order, along with ron, hermione, fred, george, aurora, and ginny, had gotten so talented at detecting an oncoming vision that elara rarely hit the ground before she was caught. her fainting spells have started to even out her dreams. some nights she wouldn't have a single dream, but the next day, she'd faint. some days she wouldn't faint, and then that night, she'd have night terrors so vivid that the muffliato charm had to be casted. professor snape had gotten so used to elara asking for that special sleeping potion so often that he just brought a few vials of it whenever he was over for a meeting.

            in over the first month of the summer holiday, elara had already filled two journals with recollections of dreams and visions. some days they'd be terrifying. other's they'd be mild. elara didn't know when to expect what kind of dream that'd she'd become afraid of her fainting spells and sleep so much to the point where she'd panic whenever she felt it coming on. professor snape had started to bring calming draughts with him too.

            elara was sat in a meeting when they suddenly learned harry had been attacked by dementors in little whinging. the order members went into an uproar. mrs. weasley, sirius, and corrine were all yelling at mundugus. but no one's anger trumped dumbledore's. his eyes were blazing. it was the first time elara actually heard dumbledore yell.
