First of all I changed the description of the Slytherin common room from the Chamber of Secrets because I can't find my copy however I really wanted to start another chapter. And I don't remember if Daphne is younger than Astoria or not so I made her younger because I could

I know this is longer than my others but I had a lot to fit in ok!

Thanks for reading

Wednesday Addams walked into the Slytherin common room. It was a large place, dark because of the little lightening but she could see clearly enough. The glow of the fires gave off enough light; there were three in the room and several large chairs were situated around it. The floor was stone much like the walls and in the middle was a circular rug with the image of a snake stitched in. The decorations were green and silver, the house colour of course. Much like the other common rooms the girl and boy dorms were situated in different sections. Wednesday decided to first go to the girls as they would be the ones who needed the least amount of persuading. As she walked towards the stairs eyes followed her, she didn't spend much time in the room causing her presence to still be one of mystery. Wednesday didn't mind and instead walked up the stairs to find the Greengrass sisters.

They were sitting in Astoria's room reading. Though younger than her Daphne was very bright for her age and would read Astoria's text book to help her get ahead. Astoria didn't mind, she like the idea of her sister having a secure and able future. Though what that future held she was uncertain of. Many people said He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named was back however many said otherwise. It was hard to know who to trust now and she had to think about her sister. If she or her family chose the wrong side she could be hurt... or worse. Astoria's eyes flickered over to her sister to check she was ok and something caught her eyes. She looked at the door way and barely held in her scream. Someone was standing there watching her.

"Do not be alarmed Miss Greengrass, I mean no harm." Wednesday Addams stepped out of the slight darkness. Daphne had dropped her book when she spoke and moved over to her sister, who on instinct stood in front of her, her eyes wary.

"What do you want Addams?" she asked, she hadn't meant to sound rude but she was still having trouble controlling her heart rate. Wednesday didn't seem to mind.

"I have come to ask something of you and your sister." Wednesday said her eyes watched them, unblinking and the redness was thrown into focus in the semi darkness.

"What do you want to know?" Astoria asked still wary. Daphne shuffled her feet behind her.

"It's rather complicated to ask outright. I have to be positive I can trust you. Trust is hard to come by it seems, even in children. However I believe I can therefore my first question of a list of depending length is, are you loyal to Hogwarts?" Astoria's showed on her face. Of all the questions she could have asked that was the one she hadn't properly expected. However the answer came with ease.

"Yes." She said and her sister nodded behind her.

"Then you would defend her if asked?" Wednesday hadn't moved yet Astoria couldn't help but feel she was being trying to back the girl against a wall.

"Of course, I am loyal to Hogwarts and my house. If it needed help I would give it." Wednesday smiled at that. She admired the girls determination in proving her loyalty.

"What if I could help you with that?" said Wednesday.

"What do you mean?" Astoria asked genuinely curious of the girls intentions.

"I know of a group of people who wish also to defend the school. They have started a Defence against the Dark Arts... group if you will and could always use new recruits. However..." she said taking a step towards the girls. "Our new Defence Professor would not be thrilled at hearing the news, nor would anyone for that matter who had connections to the Ministry."

Astoria was trying to make sense of what she had just heard and so it was Daphne who answered.

"Why'd you tell us if it's so important?" she said her eyes portraying her fear at addressing the girl however her voice was strong when she spoke. Wednesday smiled.

"The Addams's have known of your family for years. You are not fools and you do not make promises lightly. You also are a noble house. Your loyalty shows it and I can see the flare of anger in your eyes when people wonder if you are loyal to Hogwarts. You heard the hat this year, me and my brother got it to repeat its song for us. Hogwarts is in danger and the houses must stand united. I will not pretend that it will not be hard, but some things are worth fighting for. You may believe Albus is mad however I can tell you don't believe Harry is a liar." Wednesday stared at them, as if daring them to tell her she was wrong.

Astoria looked at her sister who was staring slightly open mouthed at the girl. Yes she had heard the stories and she knew Dumbledore was mad before all this happened with the Ministry. She could see the reason for covering it up and she knew that even if the teacher was bad it would be better than just learning Defence from Umbridge. She also knew the Addams's didn't get involved in things unless it was true. They believed Dumbledore and that meant that Hogwarts was in danger... her sister was in danger.

"Who is teaching this... group?" she asked and Wednesday turned to look at her.

"Harry Potter, my brother and I will lead it. If you want to live a long life Miss Greengrass I suggest you join. The danger is only going to get worse and it is best to be prepared." Astoria looked at Daphne and knew they were on the same page.

"Where will we meet?" they asked together. Wednesday walked to the door whilst speaking.

"Meet me on the seventh floor next Thursday and I will show you." And with that she left the room.

Wednesday smiled to herself, two down three to go. She decided to go find Zabini Blaise next he was probably the third easiest person to get. He was loyal to the school but also he had is mother to think of and he care a lot for politics. She found him easily enough alone near one of the fires.

"May I sit down Mr Blaise." Asked Wednesday, he looked up at her and instead of fear there was knowledge and respect. Something she wasn't used to, however found highly redeeming and respected the boy in return.

"Zabini, Miss Addams. Please sit, what do I owe the pleasure for this meeting?" he asked as she said down, he was sitting low in his chair but not enough to seem rude, more like he was simply relaxed in his surroundings.

"Wednesday please Zabini. I have come to you with a proposition." Said Wednesday as she watched him.

"Ah business well then, Wednesday what do you propose?" he smiled wryly at her, seeming at ease with the formal way they spoke.

"I, my brother and a friend have started a... group which will allow us not only to pass our OWLs with ease it will also prepare us for what will be some challenging years ahead." Zabini barely reacted to this news but she saw his eyes move a fraction; he was very good at hiding his emotions but not quite perfect.

"And you are asking me to join you, correct?" Zabini asked, she nodded. "I also assume this group is not for many to know of?" she smiled at him.

"You are right Zabini, however I am asking anyone I believe trustworthy to join us. Have I been wrong in this assumption?" she cocked her head to the side still staring at him.

"No you have not. I understand the danger here, it is becoming more present day by day. Though my mother would have us pretend otherwise I will not sit and watch as my home is destroyed. Hogwarts is my home Wednesday, and I wouldn't trade it for anything. I know what you mean by danger, You-Know-Who has risen and unlike so many of my housemates I do not wish for that to happen. However you will find that number smaller than you could have guessed." He looked around him to make sure now one was listening in. "I am however curious as to who else you have asked?" he leaned forward to make it harder for others to hear them.

"I have asked Astoria and Daphne Greengrass. You will not learn there answers as I do not know yours. I plan to ask Draco Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson next." The end of her sentence shocked Zabini a little.

"Draco Malfoy? And Miss Parkinson? I would not have chosen them however you are the boss shall we say. I will join you Wednesday but where is this group meeting?" Wednesday rose from her seat as did Zabini.

"Meet me on the seventh floor on Monday and you will find the answer to all you questions. Do not worry about Mr Malfoy he won't know anything until I am ready and Miss Parkinson is better than you realise." This last line again left Zabini shocked he sat down and smiled at the fireplace. Wednesday Addams sure was something else.

Wednesday walked towards the male dormitories. Only two more left. She could go find Miss. Parkinson however she was sure that if Draco was on her side than she would join her easier. She silently moved up the rooms until she found the right one, knocked once and then entered.

Draco Malfoy looked up from his Defence text book; he was trying to put the spells into practice with no luck at the moment. He saw Wednesday and immediately stood up. His father had told him to be careful round the Addams's after all.

"Do not look so worried Mr Malfoy I am here to ask you something." Wednesday closed the door behind her. She watched the boy look for words, it was amusing to say the least.

"What is it you want Addams?" he had meant to be rude but he sounded more scared than angry so Wednesday could only smile at him.

"I have come to ask where you stand loyalty wise, with Voldemort or those who would stand against him." Draco flinched at the name and stood there dumbly at the question. He answered how he had been instructed too.

"I follow my father." He said backing up slightly.

"I do not care about your father. I want to know where you stand. Your father is an able bodied man but you cannot hope to hide from the truth forever you must make a decision on who you choose. That time is now. If you choose Voldemort you will forever be branded a Death Eater. If Voldemort wins and his chances are frightfully slim, what do you hope to gain? He will not be kind and give rewards. He will slaughter any who oppose him without a second thought. Your family try to keep in his good graces but that cannot last long and you know it."

Draco did know it. His father was already beginning to slip, but how could she know this. No-one did apart from the other Death Eaters. He didn't want to go against his father and yet he also didn't want to be walking on egg shells for the rest of his life. If his father's side won he would be. There would be know freedom just oppression and darkness. But it was not his choice to make.

"If you choose the other side however." Continued Wednesday stepping forward again. "If you win then you will be a hero. You will be free and will never walk in fear again. Why choose the losing side?" Draco stared dagger at her refusing to believe it.

"You know nothing!" he spat, "Nothing of my family or our alliances. You think if it comes down to it that the Dark Lord will lose? No! He will win fore he is all powerful. No-one could stand against him or challenger his rule. I choose life over death and therefore I choose the side I know will win." He smirked evilly at her before turning around signalling her to leave. He heard footsteps but the felt a hand on his shoulder. He whipped around only to staring straight into the eyes of a very angry Addams.

"Nothing. Nothing! You believe I know nothing of him, of you! We Addams's may have not got involved last time, and that was our mistake but we knew what was going on, more than you did. You say you choose the winning side but you do not. I do not believe you would choose this Draco Malfoy, Lucius would but not you. I believe the world is made of second chances but there are something's you cannot take back. Your father is a murderer Malfoy, you cannot deny it, nor can you deny the fear in your mother's eyes as she looks at him and you. She watches you grow into the man she wished you wouldn't. Your mother wishes to save you... as do I." Wednesday turned away from him and all he could do was stare at her in awe.

"I have lost many people Mr Malfoy, I have watched many die and it isn't something you can take lightly. A war is coming and the losses on each side will be costly but not like the first time..." she shook her head and then looked back at him. "You are young Mr Malfoy, my family are very old. Do not pretend to me you are ready to watch Hpgwarts burn. I want to help you and I will. I will speak of this to no-one and your father will never know but you do not love the Voldemort as he does or his cause. If you wish to live I ask you to join my side. The Addams's will not allow Voldemort to win this time, and that means he will not."

Draco watched her for a great length of time. He believed her, truly and he knew his father would disapprove but when he looked at her he knew she would help him no matter the cost. He didn't trust his voice to speak so instead he nodded.

"Meet me on the seventh floor if you truly mean it. I will await you along with some others and I will show you what to do. If you don't come I will know you are beyond help."

Draco watched her leave and then fell onto his bed running the conversation over again.

I know Pansy wasn't in there but I thought this was a nice place to end. Should I even include Pansy? I can't decide!

Please review thanks!
