Five Years


Five years it had been since Dumbledore had passed, since Hogwarts had closed down, since all the muggle-born wizards have stayed in hiding.

Two cloaked figures walked through the dark alleyways of Knockturn Alley. The tall dark one was being dragged by the slightly short platinum blonde sighing as he was.

"Pick up your feet will ya!" The blonde haired man whispered harshly as he dragged the taller one faster down the alley.

"Honestly you'd think you'd want to be punished by Lord Voldemort." The blonde mumbled to himself.

Blaise sighed. "I don't see why we have to hurry; Lord Voldemort won't even be there anyways-

-But Snape will be and so will my father." The blonde cut off.

"Malfoy this is getting ridiculous." The dark skinned boy said as he put his weight to the ground effectively stopping the blonde haired boy.

"Blaise I will not have your back if were late, and you can deal with my father and Snape." Draco said as he stared up at the other man in the darkness.

Draco let go of the other death eaters arm and as he continued walking down the dark narrow alleyway. Turning to his right, he stopped and looked back at Blaise. "Are you coming or shall I have my father tell the others that you've betrayed us?" He asked before he walked down the alley.

Blaise sighed as he ran to catch up.

Death Eaters; Draco rubbed his face and sighed. He'd never understand how his mother ever allowed his father to drag the whole family into it. It didn't matter though, not anymore, he and his mother were now death eaters & his children would have to become them too. He was only grateful that his mother had stepped in when his father had tried to marry him off to a fellow death eater's daughter; it was obvious that Narcissa Malfoy wasn't going to force him into an unwanted marriage & having to jump into early parenthood when he obviously wasn't ready.

Pulling out his wand he tapped onto the door waiting for entrance.

Bellatrix opened the door with a rueful smile on her face. "Why if it isn't my pretty nephew. It's been a year how-

-Let us in." Draco cut off. He'd been doing that a lot today now that he thought about it.

"A year away with Snape & still you haven't learned any manners." Bellatrix said as she opened the door more to let them pass in.

Unknowing to any of them that a small black cat was walking beneath Blaise's long cloak, sneaking itself in.

Draco walked in with Blaise on his tail.

"Draco." Lucius voice rang around the room.

Looking up at the loft Draco saw that his father was starring down at him with impatience.

"What of Miss. Lovegood?" Lucius asked as he observed his finger nails.

Draco frowned at the thought of the odd woman. Lucius was going to get a kick out of this.

"Luna Potter was nowhere to be found at her address, but it looked as though we'd just missed her and her newborn escape." Draco said with a grin.

He was right his father reaction was as expected Lucius 's eye were narrowed in disdain, his face void of any emotion his neck tight and tense, knuckles white as they gripped the railings.

Everyone was slowly disappearing off the radar. It was like there was a spy amongst the death eaters.

"First McGonagall, that giant buffoon, the dogs, Weasleys & now Potter & this Lovegood girl!" Lucius said in a strained voice.

"Who would've thought that the glasses boy was smart enough to convince a death eater to betray the Dark Lord?" Bellatrix said.

"No one's foolish enough to betray the Dark Lord!" Lucius snapped.

Bellatrix clicked her tongue. "Then please explain to me; why when were right about to strike they've all just poofed away right from under our very noses?" She asked him in a calm voice.

Calm wasn't good with Bellatrix.

"No one is a traitor to Lord Voldemort." Lucius said.

"Sirius Black betrayed him." Draco said, only making his father twitch at the reminder.

"Sirius's betrayal we saw coming a mile away." Snape said as he walked into the room.

He'd been right, tonight they were both there.

"But who is it this time?" Blaise asked stupidly.

Draco said nothing; he could care less about it, just as long as his mother wasn't hurt or threatened. Actually he'd been waiting for the opportune moment to hide her so she wouldn't have to deal with Voldemort anymore. He could care less about himself; he'd rather die than have to watch his mothers' heart break. Cracks were already forming and they could all see that she was finally giving into his father. Not for long though all he had to do was find out where Potter & the others were so he could send his mother that way.

"Draco I'm just curious how do you know of Luna's newborn child? We had no idea she was even pregnant or even courting Potter." Antonin asked.

Of course someone would accuse him of betrayal; they all knew that as long as his mother's life was in his hands he'd do anything they'd said. Obviously the man was a lot smarter than he looked. Although the unfortunate thing for Antonin was that it truly wasn't him giving out information.

Reaching into his pocket he pulled out a note with something inside it, handing it to Snape quickly.

"If I were you I'd put some glove on before you open it." Blaise commented as he stared at the letter in Snapes hand.

Snape merely looked at the dark boy with a quirked brow as he unraveled the note, dropping it as soon as he looked at it.

Draco smirked, Luna Lovegood or as she goes by now Luna Potter was weird but who knew she was such a …. There was no word to describe what she'd done. If he could compliment Potter on anything it was his new wife, she grew into quiet the woman that's for shore.

Snape bent down and & with a handkerchief picked up the bloody umbilical cord that had fallen out of the letter.

"The main bedroom smelled strongly of muggle antiseptics and blood. The bed sheets, bath towels, and the sink were all covered in blood. Seems like she'd just given birth." Draco exclaimed as he picked up the letter.

He read aloud. "Dear Draco, forgive me for not being there for you to catch us but it was my early labor that put me in this position. You're wondering how I know you were the one coming, let's just say that a little birdie told me. I need a favor from you though; if you see Harry tell him he has a son, a beautiful baby boy with brown hair. At the moment I can't tell the eye color, tell Harry that his name is James Sirius Potter like he wanted, tell him though that next time- If there is a next time –I pick the name, I'm asking this because I've got the feeling you'll see him sooner than I will. Have a lovely night Luna Potter."

Blaise shook his head. "She's an odd one that girl." He said.

Lucius causes a light bulb to pop. Draco merely blinked up at him. A cat cried, causing everyone to pull out their wands.

"A little birdie hmm?" Snape asked as he pointed his wand at the fat black cat.

Borgin the store owner picked up the black cat and held it close to his chest "You're scaring fluffy." He said.

Snape grabbed the cat by the nape of its neck and stared at it.

"There's nothing magical about this cat, you can all put your wands down." Snape said as he dropped the cat.

"From now on make sure there are no animals where the meeting will be held." Lucius said

The black cat walked over to Draco rubbing itself against his ankle as he bent down & picked it up feeling it purr against his hands.

"Draco there's one more that you need to track down." Lucius said as Draco began to pet the cat.

"Who is it?" He asked, he was positive that this person was going to disappear just like the others before they made it into their home.

"A Granger." Lucius said.

Hermione Granger he hadn't heard that name in some time now, actually since Hogwarts closed down.

"You'll be wasting time with her." Snape said.

Heads turned towards the Half Blood Prince.

"Oh & why is that Severus?" Lucius asked.

"Hermione Granger is dead already."Snape replied smoothly.

Granger dead. When did this happen.

"After the Weasleys home was burnt down Granger panicked, her panicking becoming even worse after Dumbledore passed …. She burnt her house down with her family in it so they wouldn't have to be killed by Lord Voldemort because of her friendship with Harry Potter. Her parents died in their sleep, while her body or more so remains were found beneath the fallen staircase of her home, she'd been crushed then burned alive it said in the report." Snape continued as if reading his mind.

Granger killed her family so Voldemort wouldn't. Potter must have been crushed by her death, which must have been why the Weasley boy had ran with that Brown girl that time.

Lucius seemed just as surprised as he was.

"The brightest witch in her year and she snaps after Dumbledore dies. It should have been expected." Lucius said.

They'd scared her mad. She'd been growing into a looker to; perhaps he should've been a bit nicer to her when they were still in school. She had after all tutored him when she could have turned him down; she'd never even told Potter and his sidekick about his tutoring when she could have used it to her advantage.

And she had one hell of a punch … and slap. He'd only admit that to himself though.

Brightest witch of their time and Voldemort broke her without even intending too.

… Okay so maybe Granger was on the lists of future victims, but at the time Voldemorts sole attention was on Potter.

That cat cuddled into him. And he set it back down on the ground.

"What do you want us to do now?" Draco asked.

"Track down Minerva McGonagall, She's probably the only person who might know where his hiding." Lucius said.

Draco nodded his head and watched as his father apparated out of the room. Snape and Bellatrix along with the others did the same.

"Looks like we got an easy mission for once." Blaise said as he leaned against the vanishing cabinet.

"Last time she was with Madame Pomfrey in the muggle world, the damage done there might of scared her back here. Perhaps a visit to Hogsmeade, I'm sure we'll find her there." Draco said as he turned on his heel and walked out of the building.

"Hogsmeade?" Blaise asked.

"She lived there for a whole decade." Draco replied.

"Who would have thought Draco Malfoy knew where Minerva McGonagall lived .. Was she your cougar?" Blaise teasingly asked.

Draco's face twisted into a sick one. Just the thought of that old woman like that made him want too puke.

"Thankfully I have always preferred women my own age." He replied.

" ….. And the reason why I know this is because she told us once in class." He continued.

" ….. Speaking of class can you believe Granger actually went mad like that?!" Blaise asked changing the subject quickly.

There was a feeling in his stomach like a knife had been stabbed into his stomach winding his guts up like a toy car.

"You know she was actually starting to look cute too." Blaise continued.

Granger actually was a looker, she'd got his attention when he'd crashed Slughorns Christmas Party. She'd actually passed him without at all realizing for once that he was there, which she always noticed him. Granger had worn a peach colored dress, that had amazingly enough showed off her chest. Who would have thought that the muggle born was top heavy? The girl had some curves on her that he'd never seen on any other pure blooded witch in school since then, and he'd seen quite a bit, now maybe but all of them had finally filled out after nineteen.

Hermione Granger ….. Well maybe in another lifetime.

That fat black cat cried and he stopped turning to look at it, watching as it slid out of the crack in the door. Walking over to him it jumped up onto the brick and sat down in front of him, its tail wagging, it made that sound again.

He sighed before walking away, such a weird cat.

Unknown to him that the small cat trailing beneath Blaise's cloak, had come out from under and jumped up with the fat cat. It picked up its paw and licked it before it rubbed its ear, the fat cat, picking up its paw and slapping it on the small cats head then drawing it back and jumped off the brick fence, the small cat following its lead.

The two black cats found themselves in front of the headquarters of The Order of the Phoenix. The cats jumped on onto the outside window sill pacing in front of it waiting.

A tall man with shocking green eyes and brown messy hair, walked over to the window, putting on his glasses as he watched them. The cats cried out first, then the fat cat put its paw onto the window sill and cried, before the smaller cat did the same.

The green eyed boy opened the window for the two cats, and closed it as soon as they'd jumped in.

He watched as the two cats' morphed into two cloaked females, the shorter one, removing its hood as it moved further into the home. Revealing it's grey and white hairs and wrinkled face.

"What happened?" The green eyes man asked.

The taller, younger figure spoke this time as she stayed hidden in the shadows. "Lucius is sending Draco & Blaise out for her." She said.

"I will be joining the others Harry." The Minerva said.

Harry sighed as he followed the elder. "Professor did you find anything else out?" Harry asked.

McGonagall sighed as she sat down in the leather chair across from the fire place. "Bellatrix is convinced that Snape, Draco, or even Blaise will be easily swayed."

"Snape will be too hard and Draco is always around Lucius and so is Blaise." Harry said.

"She's going into Hogsmeade posing as me, and then she'll decide who'll be the one to help us, the order has already agreed to it." Minerva said

Harry's eyes widened. "Professor they'll eat her up she can't go you know it!" Harry said.

"The Order has already agreed to it … she went to them without me, and they told me that I'm too valuable for them to loose, everything has already been prepared I'm sorry." Minerva said.

She watched as Harry left the room and his steps heavy as he ran down the stairs.

"You can't do this!" Harry said.

"I have too, Professor McGonagall can teach another, I'm not a teacher Harry and you know this .. Listen I've made some liquid luck, if I think there's a need for it I'll take it I promise." The woman said.

Harry sighed women were much too stubborn.

"Do me a favor then." Harry said as he picked up an envelope off the nightstand and handed it to the cloaked figure.

"On your way to Hogsmeade, drop by and give this too her." Harry said as he watched her slip it into her pocket.

"Anything for you." She said before she transformed into the small cat again.

He walked over to the window and opened it letting the cat out and watching it leave.

"We can only hope that this all goes well." Minerva said as she walked into the room.

Harry nodded his head. "I know."

Luna Lovegood

Now known as Luna Potter; paced back & forth in front of her bed as she tried her very best to put her son to sleep. The window slammed open and she jumped. Her silver eyes watched as a small black cat jumped down off the windowsill and onto the black divan.

Her silver eyes looked to the chest at the end of her bed where her wand laid on top. The pretty black cat licked its paw then rubbed its left ear. Jumping off the divan & walked across the room its tiny body slipping though the small gap between the bathroom door and the door frame.

Luna relaxed walking over with her son she crossed the room & walked into the bathroom closing the door and locking it. Turning around to find the cat lounging at the end of the vanity. She smiled as she reached her other hand over to the knobs and turned the sink on setting the temperature. In the corner of her eye she watched as the pretty black cat transformed into a cloaked figure.

A woman's voice echoed in the bathroom.

"Perhaps a bath will help put him to sleep." The woman said.

Luna smiled happily as she spoke back. "You know I never did thank you for helping me back there." She said.

"it wasn't a problem at all Luna, we should thank Poppy though for teaching me how to deliver children." The woman replied.

"Hermione." Luna whispered as she finally turned to look at the cloaked woman,

Her face was completely covered in darkness and the only thing you could see were those bright amber brown eyes of hers that stared at Luna waiting patiently for her to continue.

"How is he?" Luna asked.

Hermione pulled out an envelope from her cloak and handed it to her. Sliding off the vanity she looked over at the baby in Luna's arms.

"Give him a bath, after that wrap him in his blanket make sure the room is cool though, he'll fall asleep instantly." Hermione advised before she transformed into the small cat again.

Unlocking the door Luna opened it and followed Hermione to the bedroom window watching as she jumped up to the sill and off into the darkness of the night.

Closing the window she locked it before walking back over to the bathroom and locking it as she stepped in to read the letter.
