"Ahh, Professor Dumbledore how can I be of help for you today?"

"Mr. Crawford, may I please speak to Ms. Michele Malfoy?" asked an old man with half moon glasses.

"Hmm… yes I don't see why not. But I suggest you refrain from calling her Michele… your better off with Ellie"

"Ahh yes I remember quite well. That girl always hated her name" responded the highly amused Headmaster. "Now can you please point me in the direction of Ms. Malfoy?"

"Yes right this way sir"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Ellie, Headmaster Dumbledore is here to speak with you"

"Oh, okay thanks Aro." Replied Ellie, as Aro the camp director exited her tent. Heading back to look over the new born Chinese Fireball. "Why hello Professor what brings you here to see me all the way down in south Africa?"

"I am here to ask if you know about the return of Lord Voldemort"

"Indeed I do and I do believe you and harry potter professor… but that is not the only reason you're here is it?"

"No, I believe its not. Tell me Ellie how much do you know of the Order of the Phoenix?"

"I know that my second cousin/godfather Sirius Black and his best friends Remus Lupin, James Potter and his wife Lily were in it and so was Peter Pettigrew who was the Potters secret keeper and betrayed Lily and James by selling them out to voldemort because he was and is a coward! And that it is an organization against the Dark lord … am I correct?"

"Ellie who told you about Peter being the Potters secret keeper?"

"Sirius told me when I was little that Peter was the Potters secret keeper and that was why we weren't aloud to visit them anymore, and then when Peter betrayed them and Sirius went to Azkaban my mom told me Peter sold the Potters out to Voldemort."

" I see… you said your mother knew the truth?"

"Yes, I asked her a few years ago… she said something about her and Sirius were pretty close when they were younger and still were until he was thrown in Azkaban, but she couldn't mention anything around Lucius because Sirius is a "blood traitor."

"Ahhh… why yes I believe Narcissa and Sirius were very close in their younger years but was quite strained when in school because of the Slytherin/Gryffindor rivalries… but that is also not why I came to see you Ellie."

"Then why did you need to see me professor?"

"I believe when you graduated you went to Auror training am I correct?"

"Yes… but why?"

"I would like to know if you would be willing to return to Hogwarts this year to fill in the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?"

Ellie stood there for what seemed like years but was only seconds before she replied with a horrified look "But Professor…. DADA?? Are you serious? That jobs cursed and besides what would people say if a Malfoy heiress was teaching Defense? I could just imagine… are you out of your mind?

"No I don't believe I'm out of my mind but who knows these days? And as for a Malfoy heiress teaching DADA I see nothing wrong with it. I might get complants here and there but that's no big deal what do you say?"

"uhm… okay.. I will do it."

"I thought you'd say that. So I'll just wait here while you go pack your things and we'll head straight to head quarters –."

"Wait what? No … school doesn't start for two months you've got to be kidding me. Why do I have to go now?"

"You need to get your classes straighten out Minerva said she would help you and get caught up with what the order is doing"

"ORDER?? How do you know I'm not working with the "Dark Lord" like the rest of the Malfoy clan?? I mean you cant really trust a Slytherin now can you?"

"Well are you working with Voldemort?"

"No that's stupid…" she stopped to see Dumbledor give her a look " but that's not my point"

"Ms. Malfoy… are you willing to be apart of the order?"

"Yes of course I am but…"

"Then go get your bags and we'll be off"
