Order of the Phoenix
It was best to take matters into his own hands. The Order of the Phoenix had been infiltrated, and to calm the nerves of its members, Albus was going to meet with each one to manage a questioning of sorts. Auror Longbottom had used the word 'interrogation' but until he could find answers, Albus was going to believe in the group he had put together. While he wasn't naive, he did know how easily people could be corrupted, he had faith in the members of the Order, knowing that they had all always shown great strength when it came to making choices between right and wrong.

He sent out a patronus to one member at a time, not wanting to create a crowd in the house for that would only cause to build more tension. Dumbledore knew that the war did not seem to be turning in their favor, but while he was a man who loved to find answers, he always had a faith that would allow him to do so. He sat in the kitchen area, going over some final reports that his professors had finished while he waited for the next Order member to arrive.

The tentative footsteps approached the table and Dumbledore kept his head bowed for a moment before lifting his gaze up to meet the next Order member.

"Have a seat. Would you like a lemon drop?" He pushed the candy dish across the table.

OOC: OKAY! If you guys don't know, some of the Order's secrets have been leaked. Liz had helped set up a secret entrance into Diagon Alley behind the ice cream parlor, but during the attack Frank found that death eaters were waltzing through it.

This thread is meant to be a narrative of sorts for the individual Order members, and to move the traitor plots along. The post doesn't have to be epically long or anything of course! If your character has no idea what's going on, just have them say that---its meant for the Order to voice their frustrations with how the war is going and how they feel about being in the Order.

We really want everyone to try and get something said here, because this is a big turning point in the game! The Order is now legit scared about being betrayed. If you want some ideas about what Dumbledore might ask your character(s), don't be afraid to ask me! But really--he's just trying to slyly get information, and if he has his doubts (he IS concerned about Remus, so if your character has any relationship with him, you could use that) about anything you should bring that up. And, it's easy enough to make it seem like your character IS the traitor too, by leaving information out or however else you deem fit. He'll be trying to egg people on too, to get them to say that maybe yeah, they have mentioned things in the past etc. etc.

WHATEVER you guys are smart, have fun with this! Except not because this is sad D;

"Glad for you to finally join me, Mister Fenwick."

Ben had to force himself not to cringe at the Headmaster's thoughtful, borderline-suspicious tone. Keeping his eyes to the floor, he sat down in the chair across from Dumbledore and folded his hands in his lap. "I came as soon as I could," he muttered gruffly.

He had suspected something like this to happen, of course. He just had no idea when, or that it would be this soon. But the sooner the better, of course. Despite the faithful, naive words that he'd caught some of the other Order members spouting about how they'd never betray one another, how there was no one in the Order that they didn't trust with their lives, Ben knew there was a traitor. It was impossible for them, as careful as they were, to be foiled and have their secrets uncovered so many times without someone on the inside feeding information to their enemies. And that's just how the world was these days--you didn't know whose allegiances were with whom and... there were a lot of people in the Order now, or who at least knew about it. That was a lot of room for error to be made in judging faith of the members. At least one of them was certainly not on their side. He loved his friends, but he was not stupid.

"I can tell that you have thought about this." Dumbledore's voice shook Ben from his thoughts and he looked up finally to see the wizened old man peeking at him expectantly from under half-moon spectacles. He shouldn't have been surprised that Albus Dumbledore of all people could tell something like that. "You have your suspicions, don't you?"

Ben nodded. From the look on Dumbledore's face, he seemed to have been expecting to wait for him to spit it out, but Ben delivered quickly. "Sirius. And Peter." Something said that he should have felt guilty just giving names up like that, but he couldn't bring himself to care about such a stupid thing as guilt. It was his honest opinion--and if one of them really was giving out information, then there was no guilt to be had anyway. This was for the Order's protection, not for the sake of friendships. "There may be multiple sources, but we know one of them has got to be close to the Potters. Out of all of us, they've been targeted the most frequently and found the most easily."

He took a deep breath before looking Dumbledore straight in the face. "I basically grew up with them, I lived with them for seven years. Sirius has the ties straight back to the Death Eaters through his family. Peter---Peter's the easiest to corrupt and control. If it's not one of them, it's both."

Dumbledore nodded gravely and his quill flicked across his parchment, writing words invisible from across the table. After a moment of thought, he spoke again, a curious tone. "You don't mention Mister Lupin, however...?"

The answer again was instant. As strongly as Ben believed that Sirius or Peter could be the traitor, he believed that it was not Remus. "Remus is among the few people in the Order I believe is incapable of betraying it. It's not Remus," Ben returned definitively.

Silence tensely reigned for several minutes before Dumbledore let out a breath and broke eye contact, returning to his papers. "I see. Thank you, Mister Fenwick."
