Chapter 1
The Meeting
It was a beautiful day. Students walked and talked happily to their classes. Everything was calm in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. All but one student who was nervous about his father's visit to Hogwarts.
Draco Malfoy sat completely bored in his Potions lesson. He'd already learned this with Severus when he was ten. Draco listened with half an ear as his thoughts drifted toward the letter his father had sent him. It had been short and to the point. All his father had said was he was coming this evening with something that would protect him and his future.
Draco was slightly nervous about this. His father never came to Hogwarts unless it was a weekend and there were no classes or it was extremely important. Draco was also nervous about the meeting itself many people didn't believe his father, or Sev for that matter were really working for the light side. But Draco knew that after the incident when he was 6 there would be no question in his mind that his father was on the Light side for real.
Lucius Malfoy had hated the Dark Lord more than anyone when the mad had punished his wife and son for his mistake. Lucius had failed in getting information on what Dumbledore had been planning in the Ministry. While normally that would have been Severus's job, he was making Potions that were extremely valuable to the Dark Lord and since Lucius had a good standing in the Ministry he was the next best option to get information on Dumbledore.
A few weeks after the incident Lucius had approached Severus about being a spy for the Order. Many still did not believe his father or godfather were on the side of the Light. It irritated Draco to no end. Even back when he was only six and didn't understand everything, hated the mistrust in his father. Now nine years later many still didn't believe.
Draco was pulled from his thoughts as Severus's voice rose slightly, "Everyone dismissed."
The room was quickly emptied of students except for Draco. Since this was the last class of the day he was going with Severus to meet the Order and his father.
"Come, Draco. The others are waiting." Severus said as he opened the door to the corridor. Quickly Draco picked up his one strap bag and followed Severus out the door. They walked in silence up to the third or fourth floor. He wasn't paying enough attention to tell which.
Severus knocked on a section of wall; before Draco could ask what he was doing a door appeared and was opened by Dumbledore.
"Ah! Severus my boy, come in! You as well young Draco." The old wizard said as he stepped inside to allow the two entrance.
The room was done in rich colors. There were partially Gryffindor colors but there was little of it which was fine. There was a fireplace with a roaring fire going. A large table in the middle of the room around it were seated many chairs Most of the teachers were seated at it. There were four empty chairs which he assumed were for them and his father.
As he took his seat he noticed the Potters were seated among the table except for their children. He noticed that the two adults were glaring at him as well. Draco however just rolled his eyes, these people were always doing this and it was irritating as well as useless. A good portion of the Order still believed that his father was out to get them.
"Albus", Alastor Moody, also known as "Mad-Eye" Moody started, "why is the Malfoy boy here? I thought this was an Order meeting?" Draco glowered at the old battle scared man. Of course Moody would have a problem with him being here. I mean it wasn't as if his father had asked him to be here. Oh wait, he had!
"Young Draco is here because his father has something that will protect him from Voldemort and as professors as of the school we need to see it before hand, which is why he is here." Draco didn't miss the message behind his words. That he wanted to make sure whatever his father was giving him wasn't something dark.
No sooner had Dumbledore finished his sentence Lucius Malfoy stepped out of the fireplace. He promptly took a seat next to Draco, the opposite side of Severus.
"Now that we are all here why don't you begin, Severus?" Dumbledore lightly suggested.
"The Dark Lord is planning something. He's asked me to make half finished potions and give them to him. So far he's asked for 3 Blood replenishing potions, 2 pollyjuice potions, and 4 Dreamless sleep potions and a skelo-gro potion all half finished. He's telling no one of his plans and he wants no other Death Eater around when I give him the potions either." As everyone digested this new information Malfoy senior drew himself up to speak.
"I have reason to believe that whatever the Dark Lord is planning has something to do with Draco," curious stares landed upon Lucius and Draco, "he asked questions about Draco's health along with things he's allergic to. He have made hints that Draco will be surprised when he joins his ranks as a Death Eater." Draco sat horrified; the Dark Lord had a surprise? 'Damn'
"That is why I have brought something that will protect Draco should the Dark Lord attempt to take him into the ranks of death eaters. Capable of also protecting the students should there be an attack or emergency. You may come out now."
For a few seconds nothing happened, Draco turned to his father but before he could get the question out he saw his fathers shadow shift, before someone began to rise from it.
All the adults had their wands trailed on the new comer completely forgetting that Malfoy senior had told someone they could come out. Once the person had completely come out of the shadow the order began shooting stunners at the figure, which didn't react as all except blink.
Even as spells continued to fire Draco couldn't help but admire the stranger. He had short black hair that shone even in the dim lighting. A particularly long bang fell over his right eye hiding it from view before curling toward the bottom of his ear by his cheek. The eye that was visible was the most stunning color green he'd ever seen.
He wore a black dragon leather trench coat that was buttoned and clung to his body. The buttons stopped at his hips before leaving just a train that flared out behind him that ended at his dragon hide boots. He wore black pants that had two rune jewels sown into it. They were both emerald with flicks of red.
"Are you all quiet done trying to stun my guest?" Mr. Malfoy asked. Looking quiet bored in his seat.
"Lucius! Who is that and what is he?" Mad-Eye demanded.
"This is Abixis. I'm not sure what he is. He has never said. However, I know he is a very good guard and he's a Dueling Master. I have hired him to be Draco's guard and if necessary a guard for the school."
Everyone now started at the new comer. He gave off the air of danger but he screamed to the heavens of power. Dumbledore's eyes began to twinkle a little more than usual. Abixis would be a valuable allay and an even better weapon.
