Chapter 12

Draco was looking around his new temporary home. It was once his paternal granmother's cottage when she was still alive. After she had passed away, his father inherrited it along with some other properties he kept away from his wife, intent on giving them to Draco.

He had placed his trunk on his bed and walked around the small three bedroom cottage. His father was kind enough to get him his own house elf to help him around the house and keep an eye out for trouble.

After a quiet, and a bit lonely, evening, he decided to do his summer home work. Knowing that as soon as he finished that, he will have, quite literally, nothing constructive to do. Except maybe exploring the rest of the property. Part of the property bordered a beach and he knew from what his father mentioned, that there was a town near by. But he was not allowed there in case somebody recognizes him.

He walked into the kitchen where Missy was preparing his breakfast. He smiled in thanks to the house elf when she brought him his food. Looking around the kitchen whilst he ate, he realised that his granmother prefered some more of the muggle inventions than many of his ancestors ever would mention even.

The décor in the cottage was full of detail, nothing to extravagant, but very tasteful in its own right. Some of the stuff would have to be replaced soon, but mostly the furniture was in prime condition. On the walls there were some paintings of ancestors and even some wizarding photos.


Three days later, on a Thursday, Harry and Hermione found themselves sitting at a table in the lounge and trying to finish their homework they had left. Harry decided to drop Diviniation after a heated discussion once again with Hermione (a follow up really, seeing that they had the same fight, or rather debate a few times before). But seeing that he will then be one subject short, the two of them wrote their head of house in regards to Hermione tutoring him in Runes. He will then hopefully be ready to sit his proxy OWL in the second week of school, there after he will gain admittance to the NEWT class.

They had to finish their essays in Potions and a research assignment about Magical Beings and Entities for History of Magic. After which Hermione was going to start Harry on some of the more important aspects of the work he needed to be able to do.

"Hermioneeeeeee," Harry started to complain... Hermione looked up from where she was proof reading his essay with her eyes narrowing slightly.

"What is it now Harry?" Hermione frowned when she looked back down at his essay, paging through a book to check up on some facts.

Harry gulped when he saw Hermione biting her bottom lip suddenly. He scratched his hair and looked at the closed potion's text infront of him. Just as he looked up again to ask Hermione if they could go for a walk on the beach, a smiling and laughing Tonks burst in through the door.

"Come quickly you two! We are going spying on Sirius! HURRY!" Harry and Hermione looked at each other, shrugged and got up to follow Tonks out the door. Hermione was perplexed as to why they were going to spy on Sirius, whereas Harry was both a bit peeved and a bit glad that Tonks interrupted him just as he was about to ask Hermione...

"Tonks, why exactly are we going to spy on Sirius? I mean we do have homework you know!" Hermione grumpilly asked Tonks. Harry himself was curious so he listened in.

"Well we all know how Sirius was so distracted since we've been to the market right?" They both nodded and waited for her to continue. "Well, from what Remus and I could find out, he saw this woman. And now Sirius went of to the village in hopes of seeing her again!"

Tonks was practically jumping. Harry and Hermione both had looks of deep thought on their faces as they trailed along behind Tonks. Both of them were happy for Sirius, but Harry was thinking about talking to Hermione and he knew all of them were being considered towards him in regards to the incident a few weeks ago... He needed to talk to them.

He walked straight into Hermione's back when she abruptly stopped. Harry fell backwards onto his bum, whereas Hermione fell into Tonks and they both fell down, Hermione landing on Tonks.

Remus, who was standing a few feet infront of them when this happened, was busy laughing his head off. "Well then, I say! Our group is so good in regards to stealth, a deaf hag in the Hog's Head wouldn't of heard you lot!"

He received three glares and he replied with a laugh. He pointed over his right shoulder and motioned for them to be quiet. They were nearing the outskirts of the village and the market was infront of them.

When Harry looked around, he noticed Sirius walking towards the stall where they had picked up the apples whick Tonks had knocked over. He smiled with a hint of sadness on his face. He really hoped his godfather would find some happiness.

Remus and Tonks meanwhile were walking the long way around to the market. They were holding hands and tried looking innocent. Remus succeeded, but Tonks looked like she was guilty of a lot more than spying on her cousin. She luckilly tried hidding it by changing her hair into seaweed green and tried amusing Remus.

Hermione stared ahead of her. She noticed the blonde woman and when the two of them locked eyes, she felt imense power from her. But she also felt safe, as if she knew the woman meant them no harm. She didn't notice Harry standing next to her, until the woman's eyes weant from her own to Harry's.

"Harry, do you see her aswell?" Hermione asked in a small voice, she was still looking towards the woman.

"Yeah I do, why does she seem so familiar?" Harry was frowning, but his gaze was still locked with the blue gaze of the mysterious woman.

She suddenly turned and left in the oposite direction from the village, making her dissapearance go unnoticed by most except the two teenagers. Hermione looked over at Harry. It didn't take long for him to find her gaze, "Who is she?" Both of them asked each other at the same time.

Harry shrugged, he had a funny feeling they had found Sirius' mystery woman. Whilst Hermione was busy trying to evaluate where they have seen her before. She just couldn't put her finger on it...


Andrea had planned on going to the market again, the other day she really hadn't gotten all of her supplies, so she needed to go again.

She had been keeping an eye on the group over the last few days and even at times in the night. She was exhausted from the lack of sleep, but she kept going. Plus Deidre had taken a liking to the girl, Hermione's, cat. So at night when the half-kneazel goes hunting, Deidre goes along to watch. Andrea would take the time and look over the surrounding area and keep an eye on the inhabbitants of the cabbin.

So when she found herself looking into the eyes of the two teenagers near the market, she couldn't help some of her curiosity and locked gazes with them. The girl clearly was briliant, brave and a touch of bossy-ness thrown in. But what she saw in the boy, Harry's, mind, made her sad. She needed to get them to accept her so that she could help him. He needed her.

Before she left the market area and village to go to her own bungalo, she looked over to where one Sirius Black stood. He was trying to look busy by picking up some of the fresh fruit, but she knew he was looking for a chance to meet her.

She walked away quickly, picking up her pup in the shrubs near the path leading to her bungalo. She will go see them soon. She only hoped that they will accept her, if only partially. That's the best she could hope for, after all, it's normally one's enemies who want to read your mind and know intimate facts of you and those close to you.

She stood in the door and turned around to face the view of the ocean she had. She was stroking Deidre's fur when the pup bit her, jumped out of her arms and ran off. She took chase after the pup. But after a while she lost sight of her. She stood still, calming herself and trying to find the little miscreant. She found her alright, but what disturbed her greatly, was the fact that she was heading straight to the group of people she was trying to keep safe.

She took off again, running past trees and jumping over logs. She was thinking of what to say before she reached them.


Sirius was quite a bit upset from where he was standing on the road. He was not looking at Remus and Tonks and he was honestly a bit baffled by the silence coming from Harry and Hermione's side. He folded his arms and glared at them all again.

"Why I ask again, why did you decide on following me? I AM A GROWN MAN AM I NOT?" Sirius knew they were curious but darn it, he didn't want to seem like a loon, going after a woman nobody else in their group saw.

"Padfoot, we are..." Tonks was interrupted when Harry chose to speak.

"We saw her Sirius, atleast we think its her..." He said loud enough for the group to hear. He was still looking towards a tree when Hermione chose to look up and speak aswell, "Blonde hair, blue eyes, a bit taller than me?"

Sirius nodded with his mouth slightly ajar. Why couldn't he be the one who saw her?

Before the conversation went on though, a white wolf pup burst from the undergrowth and went straight for him. He frowned and picked up the pup, keeping her(?) at arms length. He was busy trying to look at the tag on her colar when Remus came forward, "Sirius, that's a snow wolf pup? I wonder how it got here of all places?" Sirius looked up at his friend.

"The pup's name is Deidre... And the owner's is..." He never got to finish that sentence, because at that moment a figure came from the same direction as the pup did. Everybody had pulled their wands and had them pointed at the new comer.
