Possibly the Impossible
Chapter 1 –Ominous and Impossible
The dark, ominous clouds outside did nothing to cheer up the fifteen year old witch Ginny Weasley as she stared out of her bedroom window. She had only been home at the Burrow for two weeks, as her fourth year at Hogwarts had come to an end and summer holidays had begun. It had only been two weeks and she had already felt the longing to return and begin her fifth year at her beloved wizarding school. The sudden rumbling of thunder did nothing to appease her longing to venture even outside for a little while to feel the wind that almost seemed to threaten the structure of her three storied, childhood home. But as it was, nobody was allowed to go outside at this time. Ever since the Ministry of Magic's confirmation and acceptance a few weeks ago that You-Know-Who was back, fear had seemed to sweep all logic the wizarding world contained and replaced it with rules and protection spells. Even those fighting in the Order of the Phoenix, who had known and believed in Lord Voldemort's return since his actual return, had become even more secretive and cautious since that fateful night a few weeks ago when Harry Potter and his friends broke into the Ministry and Sirius Black had fallen through the Veil. Now I know what Sirius felt like being trapped in Grimmauld Place. This is unbearable! , Ginny thought to herself.
Thoughts of Sirius plagued her mind these days and she worried for Harry Potter and his sanity after losing his godfather and then having to go to stay with his awful relatives, the Dursley family. Although Ginny was well past her days of Harry's beautiful green eyes turning her into gelatin mush, he was her friend and she could not help wonder what he was doing. Her parents and those in the Order had forbidden any letters or contact with Harry while he was with his relatives. War against Lord Voldemort and those following him had been officially declared by the wizarding world. It was almost laughable to Ginny how the adults treated her ,Hermione, Ron and Harry. They had battled with Death Eaters and still the adults thought they were children who had to be explained that writing about a secret organization's headquarters could be a very bad idea.
The red head's solitary musing was thwarted as she heard a bang coming downstairs. Ever since last week it had been discovered thatNumber Twelve, Grimmauld Place's secret location had been compromised. While a more secretive location for the Order's new headquarters was being searched for, it had been almost assumed that the Weasley's home had become the new headquarters until it was ready. Numerous charms and protection spells had been cast upon the Burrow and only Order members or the Weasley's friends or family were allowed to be and Apparate within its walls. The house seemed to be always full and there was always something going on. There was a constant flow of guards and muffled discussions going on, whether it be a discussion over the increased muggle attacks lately or just changes in guard duty, someone was always up. Whatever was going on presently downstairs caused Ginny to creep closer to her bedroom door as the conversations seemed to be getting further heated.
"We need to bring Harry here as soon as possible" said a tired male voice, which Ginny attributed as being Remus Lupin's voice, her former werewolf professor. "He should be here and be included on what has been going on. Harry's going to be involved in this war someway as it seems that Voldemort seems to want to make Harry suffer as much as possible. Maybe we should bring him sometime next week, " he insisted.
"But he is too young and should not be involved with these dealings", a female voice chimed in. Ginny had no doubt it was her mother's adamant voice resounding her opinion that Harry, Hermione, Ron and herself be excluded from knowing too many of the details. Ginny's body grew tense with anger as she heard the conversation below continue regarding when Harry should be picked up, where Harry should go and how much they should tell him of Voldemort's activities as of late.
Ginny had opened her door at some point in the conversation and had joined her brother, a.k.a. co-conspirator and fellow eavesdropper, Ron on the stairs in order to hear what was being said downstairs better. Silencing charms had all seemed to be forgotten as members of the Order let their opinions be known. It was not until their Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, cleared his throat loudly enough, whether on purpose or as a result of the tangy lemon drops he seemed to be constantly eating, that silence ensued on the conflicting group of witches and wizards.
"Well," the aged Headmaster began, "I think that will be enough of that at this time. We have a few more days to think about it but I do have a few updates for you all." He seemed to pause here but his weary yet authoritative voice boomed from the kitchen. "It has come to my knowledge that, as of last night, Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy were found dead in their home at Malfoy Manor. The Ministry is reporting foul play and looking for suspects. Right now, the only possible suspect they have is Draco Malfoy". Ginny could only imagine what the faces looked liked downstairs, but at the mention of the sixteen year old Malfoy heir, Ginny could not contain the grimace of dislike that flashed through her mind. Images of his haughty sneer came to mind as she thought of the blonde Prince of Slytherin. Ginny forced herself back to the conversation as Dumbledore was still speaking.
"As you know, Cornelious Fudge wants those of us in the Order to let the Ministry take care of everything now and let them in on all that we have worked on the past few years. And while we are cooperating with the Ministry, because they are working on the same goals in defeating Voldemort, we have way too many secrets and 'projects' that we have been working on for years to just hand this knowledge over to them." Here Dumbledore paused and Ginny assumed he was looking at Professor Severus Snape, teacher as well as a double agent working for the Order. Although Harry and Ron were adamant that Dumbledore was naïve to think that Professor Snape was actually on the Order's side and just "pretending" to be a Death Eater and Lord Voldemort's second hand man, Ginny had not personally had any experiences with the man to gather that he was double-crossing the Order. Dumbledore continued and pleaded," And now I must ask you to keep another secret from the Ministry and our friends, for the sake of the future of our world. It seems", Dumbledore paused," that Draco Malfoy has gone missing. Neither Voldemort nor the Ministry can find any trace of him. I will reiterate that what I am going to telling you must not leave this room but I ---".
Boom! Ginny and Ron started and looked at each other as the distinct sound of someone arriving via the Floo network caused Dumbledore to stop. Silence ensued and it was not until the newcomer spoke did Ginny or Ron realize the reason.
"Oh, " said the male voice, "please do not stop on my account", spoke the intruder, in such a familiar haughty drawl that it seemed to Ginny that Ron's face went from normal to flushed with anger in the matter of seconds.
It seemed to Ginny that the impossible had finally happened.... Draco Malfoy, the Prince of Slytherin himself, it seemed had stepped foot into the Burrow.
With wands raised, Ginny and Ron sprinted down the stairs and into the kitchen where the Order meeting was being held in seconds. Ginny was not sure if it was the blonde Slytherin's sudden presence in the fireplace or the thudding of her and Ron's footsteps from running into the room that caused the dumfounded looks on the faces of those in the room, but it went from shocked numbness to chaotic movement as wands were suddenly being pulled out of robes and directed toward the sixteen year old male, the son of a convicted Death eater.
"Ah, Mr. Malfoy", Dumbledore greeted, "not the best timing but please have a seat. Ladies and gentlemen, please put your wands away. Draco has been invited here by my request and an explanation will follow shortly." Draco, almost purposely ignoring the whispers his presence had caused and probably secretly taking pleasure of the commotion, nonchalantly sauntered over to an empty seat in the farthest corner of the room and sat down. The haughty, bored look on his face never leaving, Ginny watched him scope out the room to see who was in attendance. Ginny noticed that his body language held no hint of trepidation of entering a room full of his "enemies" and she, like some others in the room, seemed to not be able to fathom that he was actually there and continued to just stare at him. His blue-grey eyes suddenly met her gaze and held her captive for a moment. Ginny could not look away, because although his body language held blatant boredom, Ginny could see the turmoil of emotion playing in his eyes as she continued to stare. His scorching gaze had mercy on her finally and moved on as the blonde continued his perusal on the room's occupants. They rested on Snape with honest surprise. Finished in his judgments, he wrapped his black robes just a little tighter to himself and focused on Dumbledore. Since no one had mentioned their appearance in the room so far, Ginny and Ron also sat down in some empty seats next to their brothers, George and Fred, and waited for an explanation.
