Chapter 12: Moira's Orders
Moira took the first opportunity presented to her to speak with Dumbledore about what Draco had said to her. "He doesn't even want them here. He's afraid for himself, his family, and his friends here, should he actually let them in. But now we've been told that both plans must succeed. Draco's supposed to kill you, but I don't think he will and we have to let the other Death Eaters in here to take over the rest of the castle. Tom won't trust that to just Draco, Severus and me."
Dumbledore considered her for a long moment. "What has changed his mind?"
"Narcissa spoke to Bellatrix about me being here helping Draco and of course she told Tom."
"Who then punished Draco I suspect?" Moira nodded.
"And he'll do it again if we don't complete this task soon."
"You must wait. I am very close to finding another -,"
"Good. Do that quickly. Let me know when it's done and I'll let you know when the cabinet's repaired. I'll try to put it off until after term ends. Draco can stick around for a couple extra days. I'm relatively sure Tom won't mind. If there are purebloods here he won't want to hurt them." She didn't often give Dumbledore the orders but this was a special case. She was the medium between Dumbledore and Voldemort and she knew them both well enough to be able to make this decision.
Dumbledore nodded, which was honestly a relief for Moira.
Disclaimer: Don't own.
AN: Very short but I think I'll post another one later today. Let me know what you think about this.
