Heey! Okay so here is the newest chapter, i hope you enjoy it! :D


'Hermione'

'Draco'

'Hermione'

'Draco'

'Hermione. Are you sure? I mean we can always go home? You don't have to do this.' Draco had been trying to convince Hermione not to visit the Order again after the aftermath of last times events.

'Yes, I am perfectly sure and if anything happens I have my big, strong protector there to beat everyone up' Hermione smirked.

'Well I am quite strong and amazing but that only comes with being a Malfoy I suppose'

'Ha! I'm not talking about you. I was talking about Ron of course.' Laughter was evident in her voice and her eyes bore into his with laughter surrounding them. Hermione ran into the door of Grimauld Place and Draco sprinted after her and grabbed her behind the waist.

'What was that Granger?'

Hermione shrieked alerting the rest of the Order to there compromising position. 'Nothing, dear Draco. Now will you please let go of me so we can greet everyone'

He smirked down to her. 'No, I don't think I will, you are my prisoner and I don't feel like letting you go,'

'What about if I do this?' Hermione twisted around to face Draco and planted a chaste kiss on his lips.

'Hmmm, I suppose I could let you go. For a bit.'

Unaware the Order was watching this display of affection Molly Weasley decided to intervene to let the two love birds know they were there.

'Hermione dear' Hermione spun around and was startled by the Order standing observing their love fest and as a result lost her balance and began falling to the floor until Draco's arm caught her around the waist.

'Damn Granger, you need to sort out your balance. There's no point me protecting you if you can't even stand up straight' He looked down to her and grinned at her to which she replied with a sheepish smile.

'Sorry,' Hermione blushed and Draco snaked his arm around her waist to stay close to her.

'Well I believe we have a meeting to discuss?' Draco asked. 'We wouldn't want to stand out here all day; Hermione might loose her balance again.' He waltzed Hermione into the kitchen and they sat down next to each other as the rest of the Order proceeded to take their seats once again.

'Okay, so the last meeting ended up in a bit of a disaster, but I think we can all safely say that there is not point in arguing among our own cause, it will just make us more enemies and more people to defend ourselves against. Evil brings men together, that is something you would all do well to remember.' McGonagall's voice sliced through the silence as she began the meeting. 'Now and must return back to their protected location tomorrow night fall so we must have begun a plan. , do you have any information or any plans we could begin to use?'

'Well, ever since Harry's letter arrived I have been thinking more and more about the things discussed at our last meeting. I believe we should be starting to recruit. In 5th year Harry, Ron and I set up a club, the D.A, which we formally called Dumbledore's Army, and any members who joined swore an allegiance to the light and this therefore meant we could trust them. It was highly secretive and was an exclusive club, many Hogwarts students and teachers knew about it. We need new members for the Order and they need to be able to fight, and we know they can. After all Harry trained them himself. We should revisit the members of the D.A and tell them of the Order. If they want to join we bring them here and we use Veritaserum if we think they are loyal enough we swear them in to the Order, however they are not to join the inner circle. If they do not meet the requirements or they simply don't want to join us, we obliviate them so they have no recollection of the Order or being asked to join.' Hermione looked round to the people sitting at the table and they all seemed to be thinking it over.

'But who would go? These people would have to feel safe being asked to join? It would have to be former members of Dumbledore's army?' Charlie Weasley asked.

'Yes, but I see no reason why Harry, Ron and I cannot go? Ginny, Luna Neville-'

'No.' Draco's voice was cold and hard. 'You aren't going anywhere Hermione. You need to stay safe and I intend to keep it that way. You shan't be going.' His looked to her and his eyes showed he was being sincere.

'He's right Hermione. If you were found, we wouldn't have a chance at protecting you. The plan is good, but I don't think we can pretend it will be the same as last time we were on the run. You weren't Voldemort's number one target and he seems intent on finding you. It would be stupid, you know that.' Ron stated. Hermione felt anger form in the pit of her stomach but decided not to say anymore, she knew they were right.

'I can look after myself, but even I agree it would be silly of me to go' With these words being said she felt Draco instantly relax at her words and he kissed her temple. 'But we still need people to go.'

'Luna, Ginny, Neville and Ron, would you be able to go? To follow through on this plan?' Kingsley asked.

'Yes, but we would need a list of people to go too' Ginny answered and Ron, Luna and Neville all nodded their heads in acceptance of this task.

'Of course, I will have one written by morning. I would ask small amounts of people at different times; say 1-2 people a day.' Arthur advised.

'Brilliant, well I will have a list written by morning and then you can go tomorrow, we can iron out any problems with the plan if they occur.' Hermione beamed at everyone.

'Well if there are no more matters to discuss at this time,' Harry looked to everyone to see them shake their heads 'I hereby announce this 547th meeting of the Order Of The Phoenix closed.'

Scrapes of chairs filled the room as everyone got up to go about the daily routine.

Everyone was living in Grimauld Place as it could hold everybody and it had even more space for future members. This however made it extremely hard to be left alone as so many people occupied the house. Other than your own room there was nowhere you could go if you just wanted to escape the hustle and bustle of the rest of the house. Hermione already grew tired of trying to find places to read and think about possible ways Voldemort may have returned and eventually retired to her room. She hardly saw Draco, ever since the Order had accepted him he had started to find friends in Charlie and Bill Weasley, admittedly older than him, but they all shared the same interests and could hold a decent conversation. She was happy for him, but couldn't help but wonder if perhaps he missed some of his Slytherin friends. She made a mental note to bring up the subject some time in the near future.

That evening she found herself in the small sitting room curled up on a couch in front of the fire. The room was fairly square and a window could be found located on the left hand wall. The room was painted red and had wooden furniture wherever it was deemed wood was necessary. The couch faced the roaring fire and a red rug with patterns was lying on the floor, making this room incredibly cozy and warm. Hermione gazed into the fire as she thought about the people who were apart of the D.A. She wrote down a list of all the people who were possible candidates for the recruitment requirements.

Seamus Finnegan

Hannah Abbot

Katie Bell

Susan Bones

Roger Davies

Justin Finch Fletchley

Lee Jordan

Ernie Macmillan

Cormac McLaggen

Padma Patil

Parvati Patil

Alicia Spinnet

Oliver Wood

Hermione sighed. There wasn't nearly enough members. She frustrated herself because she should have known there wouldn't be many people and even these people might not join. Harry's voice broke her out of her thoughts.

'Hey Hermione, how's the list coming along?'

Hermione sighed again. 'Terrible, we don't have nearly enough people and even the people I have might not join. We really need to think harder on this one.'

'Well' Said Ron 'I have a few people who I have thought of, I wrote them down in case I forgot but here you go.' Ron handed her a further slip of paper.

Aberforth Dumbledore

Emmeline Vance

Arrabella Figg

Dedalus Diggle

Elphais Doge

'It's not many, but I figured we could give it a shot.' Ron gave her a hesitant smile and she returned it.

'Well I will keep it separate and we will propose it to the Order next month in the next meeting. Thanks Ron'

'No problem 'Mione.'

She sensed Ron was about to continue but Draco interrupted him and poked his head round the door. 'Hey love, I noticed you haven't eaten much today and Molly just served up some soup, do you want me to bring you any? Or are you going to eat with everyone?'

'I think I will come eat with everyone, I know there is so much catching up to do' She smiled at him and he grabbed her hand to pull her off the couch.

She missed the look of disappointment on Ron and Harry's faces, but they too got up and followed her into the kitchen to eat.


'Draco?' Hermione and Draco were sat in the cozy drawing room once again as everyone had headed to bed. Draco had his arm around Hermione and she had buried her head on his chest which meant Draco had his head resting on top of Hermione's.

'Mmm?'

'Do you ever miss any of the Slytherin's?'

Draco was puzzled. 'Why?'

'Well I just wondered if you perhaps had any loyal friends who could maybe, j-join the-'

Hermione's voice trailed off realizing how stupid she was for saying it as it made no sense once she had said it out loud.

'Well not really. I mean there is Blaise, and we have been exchanging owls recently, but I wouldn't know if he would join the Order. His parents were on the dark side, but we both decided we never wanted to be apart of something like Voldemort's followers again. I could write to him to come to the cottage, securely of course and ask him how he feels about it. I expect he would join but im not terribly sure.'

'Oh' Came Hermione's rely and they lapsed into a comfortable silence until Hermione had almost fallen asleep.

Draco sighed. 'Come on you, bedtime' He dragged Hermione off the couch and hauled her upstairs to their room. She instantly fell asleep on the bed and Draco chuckled, he really did love her.
