Chapter 21: The Order's Move

"WHAT?""NO""HE WOULDN'T"

"Guys!"

"BUT WHY?"

"NO, NO WAY."

"GUYS!"

It was 9:30 and Hermione had just explained about the plan, what caused the outburst however was when she told them that it was Ron who had betrayed them. Luna had joined them this morning and even she had a look of surprise and anger.

"Maybe Ron was put under the imperious curse?" Ginny asked rationally, holding Harry's wand above her head so that he couldn't reach it.

"No, when my aunt and Greyback were fighting my mother put the imperious curse on him so that he wouldn't blow Hermione's cover" Draco answered. "I'm pretty sure he was acting on his own accord."

"Are you sure your not getting the hatred you feel towards my brother in the way of your actual judgment." asked George looking very distressed. He lost one brother to the death eaters, he didn't want to loose another one.

Draco sighed and rub the bridge of his nose in frustration.

Bloody Gryffindors, Blaise was right!

"My mother is in danger. My father has betrayed his family. I have Death Eaters scattered threw out my house. I have a baby that I know have to care for. I have a family, people other then my mother to watch out for. Death Eaters have the power to bring back the dead. And my crazy Aunt is back from the dead herself. I know you people don't think very highly of me but I am not as thick as you think! I am not going to let child hood grudges cloud my judgment when I have a wife, a child, and my mother to watch out for." He said to the entire kitchen his eye's blazing with commitment.

Hermione was touched by his speech, talking of her and Teddy like that, she started to wonder if he had actually meant when he said the night before that he wouldn't mind kissing her again. She had been wondering if he was just joking or actually meant it. This seemed to prove that he really did mean it.

"Are you sure your not getting your….compassion for Hermione in the way of your judgment?"

Hermione snapped out of her thoughts at Angelina's question. Hermione saw Draco blush at Angelina's statement but he was able to keep the embracement out of his voice.

"I can guarantee you, he's acting on his own. As I said before I think he's hoping that I will get killed and he can get back to gather with Hermione." Draco repeated.

Hermione wasn't sure but she could of sworn that she had heard anger at then mention of her getting back to gather with Ron.

"Or…" Ginny who had been leaning on the counter stood up straight and a look of curiosity and horror crossed her face. "Maybe that does have something to do with it but, remember what Ron saw in the mirror of Eriesd?"Harry went pale at figuring out where she was going with her hypotheses.

"Yeah, but Gin…I don't think he would do…this to accomplish that." Harry said, more hopeful then assured though.

"We all know how his temper gets. He might if he really want's rid of Malfoy, wants Hermione, and wants some of the 'spotlight' then he just might." Ginny rationalized.

"What was it Ron saw?" Arthur spoke for the first time since hearing that it was Ron who had betrayed them.

"He saw himself head-boy, prefect, Quiddtitch captain, and holding the house cup." Harry explained.

"Top of all of us." Bill said sadly as he thought of his brother. Maybe Ron would do this to accomplish that.

"If he got all that…" Ginny said. "then he would have done more then Bill, Charlie, and Percy put to gather. And if he did all that people would like him just as much as they loved Fred and George."

George groaned. "My brother is an idiot." He banged his head on the table and stayed that way, Angelina patting his back.

"I don't think it really matters why he did it right now." Draco said quietly as all the Wealsey's, Harry, Luna and Hermione considered Ginny's little speech with solemn expressions. "What we need to do is develop a plan. We can't let them bring back…Voldemort." Everyone looked up at him as he said the name. It was the first time he had ever said it.

"Malfoy is right, it doesn't matter what the reason is right now. We have to develop a plan to stop the Death Eater's." Harry acciod quills and parchment.

So they spent the next hour developing a plan.


"Let's go over it one more time, the Death Eaters will be getting up soon and Snape is probably close to killing Bellatrix by now.." Hermione said.

"I wouldn't mind that scenario." Harry said in a undertone as he sat back down next to Hermione and Ginny.

Harry pulled the papers that they had wrote the plan down on and started speaking.

"On December second at eight were all gong to take our spots. Bill, Charlie, and Percy will be waiting in the cemetery, since it's triangular shaped each of you will be at one end. Arthur, Hestia, Deudeleuse, you three will wait at the school to protect the children, hopefully we'll spot them before they attack to prevent anyone from getting hurt and prevent the muggles from noticing us. George and I will take my invisibility cloak, and Mad-Eye's old invisibility cloak and search for Voldemort's grave. The marker will most likely be very simple with the name Tom Riddle and the death date. Ginny, Luna, and Angelina, will be the lookouts." Harry said reading off the plans. "Penelope, Mrs. Wealsey and Fluer will be here on stand-by incase of any injuries. Malfoy will be helping look for the grave so make sure you don't him, Hermione will be helping attack the school so make sure you don't hit her, and Blaise will be one of the look outs so watch out for him too. Pansy will be at the Manor to help Narcissa watch Teddy while everyone is fighting, so we don't have to worry about them. Don't worry about hitting Lucius he deserves it. And the person who hits Bellatrix will get the prize of a lifetime!"

"HARRY!" Ginny and Hermione smacked him at the same time.

"I stiell want to come" Fleur said in her French accent crossing her arms.

"Honey, I told you. You have stay here and keep safe. I'll be able to concentrate better on the mission if I know that you and our baby daughter are safe and out of harms way." Bill said for the millionth time that morning but Hermione noticed the addition to his sentence.

"Baby daughter? It's a girl?!" Hermione asked delighted.

"Oh, of course we forgot to tell you!" Bill said faking a look of surprise.

"William Wealsey don't you give me that!" Mrs. Weasley smacked her oldest son on the head then hugged him so tight she might have broken one of his ribs. "A baby gi-girl…how wonderful!" Mrs. Wealsey bawled turning to hug her daughter-in-law but more carefully so not to hurt the little girl in side Fleur's womb.

After everyone hugged and said congratulations the four went back to Malfoy Manor for lunch.

"Watch yourselves when you go downstairs." Narcissa whispered leaning over the railing from the top floor holding a napping Teddy.

Curiously but cautisoly then walked down to the kitchen. They passed Fin who was shacking her head muttering 'what a mess, it'll take all day to clean that.'

They entered the kitchen to find out what she was talking about. As soon as the door opened they heard Bellatrix and Snape yells.

"SCEMTEM-"

A flash of blue light.

"YOU CAN'T USE MY OWN SPELLS AGINST ME BELLA, NICE TRY."

"GIVE UP SLIME BALL."

"NOT A CHANCE."

More flashes of lights, crashes, and explosions.

"SURENDER SNIVILLIOUS!"

"MUST BE DESPRATE IF YOUR WILLING TO USE YOUR COUSIN'S OLD NICKNAME FOR ME."

"COWARD."

"BITCH, EXPELLIOUMS."

Snape's remark was enough to catch Bellatrix of guard long enough to disarm her.

Thinking it safe, the four opened the kitchen door wider and looked in.

The kitchen didn't even look like a kitchen anymore. The counter was destroyed, the fridge was on it's side, the walls had it's outer wood chipped off, the back doors were blasted off and laid about two yards away, half the ceiling had fallen in, the table was in pieces, and Bella and Snape were covered from head to foot in dust, food, and installation.

"Oh, hello." Snape said pleasantly as if the room they were currently standing in wasn't demolished.

"Isss it ssafe?" Nagini asked poking her head in.

"Oh my." Rodalfus remarked looking in, Lucius appeared behind him, eyebrows raised.

"Oh no, this will take Fin forever to clean, it will." Fin said shacking her head, ears flapping, apperenig behind her master.

"You'd be better of condemning the place and starting from scratch?" Blaise said to her.

"Condemn it? It already is condemned you nitwit!" Nagini snapped.

"Bella! Sev!" Narcissa had arrived and had just seen what they had make of her kitchen.

"Uh-Oh." Lucius muttered and disspered, quickly followed by Rodaulfus, Nagini, Blaise, and Draco.

"Cissy…He started it!" Bellatrix pointed at Snape as he rolled his eyes.

"I did no such thing you're the one-"

"I spoke the truth."

"Like hell you did!"

Pansy leaned over and muttered. "I think we should follow the boys."

"I think your right."The two girls snuck back up the stairs. They had just reached the bedroom when they heard Narcissa explode.

"My mother is going to kill them both." Draco said laughing on the bed.

"They never liked each other." Nagini said amusement shining in her eyes.

"Fin!" Blaise called.

"Yes, Master Blaise?" Fin asked popping into the room.

"Could you get me a sandwich, butterbeer, and chips please?" "BLAISE!" Pansy and Hermione shouted at him.

"What? I'm hung- oh" Blaise said remembering that it would be awhile before anyone could get into the kitchen.

There was a loud bang from downstairs but everyone was to scared of getting hit to go down and look.

"I think I'm going to take a nap." Blaise said.

Rolling her eye's Pansy followed him. "I have homework to do" she muttered on her way out.

Once the door was closed Hermione muttered. "I believe she has homework to do but I don't think it's any essay that Flintwick assigned to her."

Draco laughed softly, Hermione jumped since his voice was closer then she thought he was. Turning she found him right behind her.

"Pansy and Blaise have always like each other, they just never wanted to admit it. As for the homework Pan's has to do I agree. I doubt it's anything from Hogwarts."

Hermione found herself leaning against the dresser with Draco directly in front of her.

Nagini was slowly trying to get away but not before Hermione caught her.

Just where do you think your going?

Have fun Misstresssss

And the snake disappeared into the bath room, putting up blockades around her mind so Hermione couldn't use legemincy to talk to her.

"Do you recall what I said last night before we went to sleep?" Draco asked.

"Erm…about what?" Hermione was momentarily baffled about what he was talking about.

"About a certain kiss?" He said slowly.

"Oh…yeah that." Hermione went slightly pink.

Draco pushed some of her hair back and Hermione felt goosebumps erupt all over when his hand brushed against her cheek.

"Well?" He asked looking into her chocolate brown eyes.

"I suppose it wouldn't it hurt." Hermione whispered as he tilted his head near hers.

Draco's lips crashed down on hers and she returned it with just as much force, putting her arms around his neck, his arms going around her waist.

"Hem"

They broke apart and looked at the door where a highly amused newly cleaned Snape stood.

"Bella and I just finished cleaning the kitchen so if you would like you may go eat lunch now. However you two don't look very hungry to me at the moment….or at least hungry for food I should say."

"Knock! How many times must I tell you?!" Draco snapped looking very annoyed at being interrupted.

"I did knock, I am not surprised you didn't hear me now that I see what you were uh…. Up to."

Nagini entered the room behind Snape whom was walking pass the two blushing seventeen hear olds, knocked on Blasie and Pansy's door and opened it, like he did with Draco and Hermione, without waiting for an answer. This time however he shut the door rather quickly. He turned and met three pairs of eyes staring at him, light brown, stormy grey, and dark green. "I think they will…don't think there hungry either…and now neither am I." Snape said pink rising in his cheeks as he walked out the door.

Hermione and Draco burst into laughter as Blaise and Pansy emerged from the room looking flustered.

"Oh shut it!" Pansy snapped frantically trying to fix her hair.

This only created more laughter from Draco, Hermione, and Nagini.
