Hey! Where's Hermione?" George Weasley asked Harry. "George seriously she does it every meeting she at the back, it's all the staring think it get too much for her"

"Ahh and here I was thinking she was with you for the attention"

"Please may everyone be seated and we can start this meeting," said a very old tired looking McGonagall, Head of the Order and Headmistress after the death of the late Albus Dumbledore

"Right there has been some new information, that the death eaters will be attacking somewhere in Brighton but the location is still unknown"

Hermione sat in the darkest corner away from staring eyes, her mind wandering off as if the their leader hadnt told her anything more than she knew, a slight tingling in her wrist pulled her out of her thoughts and straight to the watch that seemed to now be burning her slightly. In small letter that was nearly unnoticable was a message.

"Emergency flooing to headquarters now"

Hermione suddenly jumped out of her chair causeing everyone to turn and stare

"Everyone out!" Hermione barked

chairs being magically pulled out from under people but it was too late the fireplace turned green she raced in front of the appearing figure, wand out, pointed towards her fellow order members.

"Hermione what-" Harry began to ask but as the figure grew clearer he became still. Severus Snape his former Professor and Murderer to his mentor stepped out and brushed he cloak down.

"Expelliamus" shouted Hermione. With the shock of his appearance wands flew at Hermione from all over the room, disarming every member of the order. Hermione being the smart witch she was, didn't forget to place a protective barrier around herself and Snape and a silencing charm on the large group who seemed to be coming out of their shock.

"What the hell are you playing at Severus I was in the middle of a meeting"

"He's found them, he planning to attack now" Snape exclaimed.

"How..how is that even possible, we put up every spell possible." Hermione began to panic.

"I know, he must of known about them and trying for quite awhile, the attacks in 10minutes and I've no idea how to stop them without revealing myself"

"Well we can't go in case he is watching the house hang on, Dobby"

Crack

"Yes miss Granger how may I help you"

"You know the plan we spoke of I need to do it now. Make sure everything valuable is taken and make it look like no one has been staying there"

"But miss where shall I take them?" Dobby innocently asked.

"bring them here" Hermione asked while pacing up and down

"Hang on Hermione you can't be serious, they can't come here!"

"Well do you know anywhere else readily available with all the protective spells safe enough for them?"

"They aren't meant to know, HERMIONE THEY CANT KNOW" Snape shouted

"Don't you dare shout at me I KNOW but we have no other alternative have we?" Hermione raising her voice to match his.

"I'm sorry but I can't let them down a second time, you know I can't let that happen." A pang of sadness fled into his voice

"I know you can't but its our last resort. Dobby go now" Hermione pleaded to the small house elf

"Yes miss" crack and he was gone.

"Right so do you know the attack group?"

"Me, Lucius, Draco and most properly you. But I cant be sure, others may join" Snape said while finally remembering the other participants of the room, listening into their conversation.

"Ok, well we need to go. Kreacher, Winky" Hermione called out.

Two house elves appeared

"Yes miss" they both said.

"Right Winky, me and Severus are about to leave, I need you to keep these guys in this room. No one leaves until we are back Ok ? "

"Yes miss"

"Also when Dobby comes back with the guest keep them all apart even if you have to hurt them, they are to important to be hurt. I will leave Kreacher under you command, he must do what you say but do not abuse the privilege. Is that clear?"

"Yes miss" Winky replied happy with the task given

"Kreacher, this is what you will do to repay your debt, you will listen and do whatever Winky commands, Ok?"

"Yes miss" he replied

"Right Severus that's all we can do for now. Promise your do whatever is needed, one of us needs to survive this."

"I know the deal by now. Let go"

and with a hand shake they both pulled up their sleeves and touched their dark mark, a second later they were gone.
