DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER.

The Order meeting held in Hogwarts on October 31st in the evening had something special about it. For, this was the day the agent that had been helping them would finally come to a meeting. Sure enough, the agent sat there, right next to Dumbledore. The agent was dressed in black elegant robes, wore a hood and had a black veil covering her face.

As the Order members gathered wondered who she could possibly be, Dumbledore stood up and announced, "Good evening everyone. I would like to introduce our ally, who has been helping us as an agent for more than a year now. I request everyone not to ask her any personal questions for safety reasons. Although her name is not actually C. White, she prefers to remain anonymous. Please keep that in mind. Welcome, Miss C. White."

Miss C. White stood up and said, "Thank you Dumbledore. I know you may all be wondering as to who I am and why I am helping you. I wish for a peaceful world where children can play about freely and mothers need not worry about their child being brutally murdered by dark wizards. And, although I admit I am a pureblood, I would rather see Dumbledore win this war rather than the dark lord, who has caused the deaths of many an innocent child, Pureblood, Muggle, and Muggleborn. I thank you all for allowing me to help you, and wish you all the best. Thank you."

White was given a round of applause after which she sat back down and the meeting began.

Just after the meeting had ended, White and Dumbledore went to his office. As soon as they entered, Dumbledore said, "It is good to finally have you at one of our meetings, Miss White. I only hope you do not land in trouble when you go back home."

White replied, "I just wish my husband L would listen to me! L stopped telling me anything that goes on in those inner circle meetings. Only on rare occasions, he tells me a bit or two. Just yesterday, I overheard him say something to Dolohov about having a spy for one year. L refuses to tell me anything when I ask him. Whenever I ask him why, he just says I'm paranoid and that I'll overreact if he tells me what's going on. I daren't ask B because she'll instantly suspect me. It's happened once before, many years ago."

Dumbledore listened and said, "If you ever need anything, come to me at once."

White thanked Dumbledore and left his office.

However, both of them were unaware of a male rat observing them. As Dumbledore looked away from the door to eat a lemon drop, the rat scurried out of his office as fast as he could.

He followed White as she exited the castle through the main entrance and walked up to the gates. He managed to get close to her and hide behind a tree nearby. As soon as he had hidden himself, he suddenly shifted into a short man with a rat like face and pulling out his wand, pointed it at White and whispered, "Accio veil."

Instantly, the veil flew off White's face towards the tree. As she came running behind it to catch it, the man shifted into a rat once more and observed her face as she brightened her surroundings by casting an illumination charm to find the veil. Finally, she managed to retrieve her veil by saying "Accio veil" and quickly covered her face with it. She then walked up to the gates and once she was beyond, disapparated.

The rat immediately shifted back into a man and chuckled as he thought of how pleased with him his master would be. Not only would he betray the Potters by revealing their secret location, but he would also expose a spy amongst a Death Eater family, someone who had been spying on them for a year.

Yes, Peter Pettigrew had joined Voldemort. He had been a spy for Voldemort since October 1980. His mother had been slightly ill at that time, and using that as an excuse, Peter had taken a long leave of absence from Order activities to join the dark lord. Although his mother was relatively better now and did not need his constant care, Peter continued to lie that she was ill in order to cover up his absences regarding important meetings and activities.

Chuckling as he came out from behind the tree, he walked up to the gates and apparated in the direction of his apartment to change into a set of Death Eater robes.

He arrived at Malfoy Manor soon afterwards and walked in feeling nervous, excited, and guilty at the same time. He knew that he would be betraying his friends, but he had to. After all, the dark lord was powerful and Peter wanted to survive this war while pursuing power. Voldemort was after all, a powerful personality. Also, Peter was quite afraid of being targeted if he did not join him.

With his mask and robes on, he walked up to a large room where a meeting was going on and waited outside unaware that somewhere, behind a pillar nearby, White was watching him, now without her veil, her face and hair exposed. However, Peter was quite elated. He had seen White standing at a distance at times when he had come to the manor to report his observations to the dark lord. Although she did not know him and had not spoken with him, her husband had often been there and had spoken with him during his sessions with the dark lord.

A few minutes later, the meeting ended and a group of Death Eaters, all members of the inner circle exited the room, all except Lucius Malfoy and Bellatrix Lestrange. Peter went closer to the threshold and was seen by Lucius who gestured for him to come inside.

He entered the meeting room and came face to face with the dark lord who was sitting on a throne at the head of a large table.

Voldemort stood up and walked towards him. Even as Peter bowed down, removing his mask, Bellatrix and Lucius flanked Voldemort.

Voldemort spoke, "What news do you bring, Wormtail? Speak up."

Peter answered, "My Lord, I have been made the Potters' secret keeper."

Voldemort was elated as he said, "Excellent Wormtail! Now tell me the location of the Potters."

Peter replied, "The address is No. 16, Griffin lane, Godric's Hollow."

Voldemort looked at Peter as the latter continued to kneel and spoke, "After I have finished off the Potters, especially their child, you shall be rewarded, Peter Pettigrew. You have served me for a year now, and you have finally brought the information that I desire. The Dark Lord shall not forget."

Meanwhile, just outside the double doors, White who was listening gasped. She was horrified to know that spy was Peter Pettigrew and that he had just betrayed the Potters. She had heard his voice on a few occasions, but had never heard of his name, seen his face, or even spoken to him. And her husband had never told her anything about the spy. She was so horrified that she had not been able to find out about Peter earlier. It was just so hard to collect information, even for the wife of a top Death Eater.

And then suddenly, a blond haired toddler came up to her calling out, "Mama, Mama, Wookius, pway!"

Peter looked up at Voldemort as much as he dared and said, "My Lord, I also have important news. There is a spy here, amongst the families that support you. She has been supporting Dumbledore for more than a year now. I have found out who the spy is."

Voldemort's glee turned into rage and he demanded, "Who is the spy?! Give me the name!"

Peter stuttered saying, "My Lord… it is, Na, Na, Narcissa Malfoy."

Suddenly, Lucius shouted, "You're lying! Admit it! You have got to be mistaken!"

Voldemort cut him off saying, "Enough Lucius. I see no deception in Peter. He will be rewarded for this, but first, I shall punish the spy."

He strode out of the chamber, bursting through the doors and came face to face with the spy who looked like she was about to run from the place with a child in her arms. He looked with his red eyes into the terrified eyes of White, or rather, Narcissa Malfoy who was holding Draco Malfoy in her arms.

Voldemort hissed, "Narcissa Malfoy, so it is that I have heard."

Narcissa started, "My Lord! Is there…"

Voldemort cut her off hissing, "Don't lie to me Narcissa Malfoy. You have been spying on us for more than a year now! You have disgraced your own family, your own husband for that matter. To think that you are from the Black family and yet support that muggle loving fool Albus Dumbledore; how pathetic!"

Bellatrix screamed at her, "You have betrayed us all, betrayed me, Cissy! You should have perhaps left with that blood traitor Andromeda and her Mudblood Tonks! You shall pay!"

Lucius shouted, "Narcissa, how could you?! You defy your own husband, lie to him and go behind his back is it?! "

Suddenly, Narcissa's face flushed with anger and she screamed at Lucius, "Because of you Lucius! I told you that I could not stand anymore of the Dark Lord's cruel practices! I tried to tell you! You would never even listen to me! Do you know anything about how your own wife feels? Ever since Bellatrix told me that she would sacrifice children to the Dark Lord like animals, and that I should do the same if asked, I have never felt the same as before! Every time I hear about a child being tortured and killed, I feel the same thing happening to my baby! I can't bear it! I tried to tell you! I told you everything, and what did you do? You said I was paranoid and ignored what I said, simply because of your loyalty! Tell me, what does Draco mean to you?! Is he your own child, or is he just a tool?!"

"ENOUGH!" Voldemort thundered, "Since it is your son whom you are so concerned about, I think I know how to punish you."

And then, to Narcissa's horror, he looked at her furiously and demanded, "Give me your child, Narcissa Malfoy!"

Narcissa felt her heart shake with terror as she heard that. She pleaded, "Please, he is only a baby! You can't kill him!"

Voldemort shouted, "You have betrayed me Narcissa, and this is your punishment!"

Lucius suddenly interjected, "My Lord, there is no need of this. Please my Lord, I will speak with her, I will deal with her properly, I will…"

Voldemort cut him off saying, "Don't bother about her Lucius, she no longer deserves the scion of the Noble House of Malfoy as her husband. She will pay for her actions. I will find you a much better wife. As for the child, he is now a blood traitor. He is the son of a blood traitor. Do not bother about him. Narcissa must be punished. You will have more children later on, loyal and truly pureblood, from a loyal mother, a perfect son, unlike Narcissa's child!"

Lucius was shocked upon hearing that. As he listened to Narcissa begging the dark lord to spare Draco, he suddenly remembered Severus' words over a year ago, "Tell me Lucius, what if it was your own child being targeted by the Dark Lord?! Would you sacrifice him like an animal for the sake of loyalty, or would you rather die for him?! ANSWER ME, LUCIUS MALFOY!"

Bellatrix turned to Voldemort and said seductively, "My Lord, allow me to take him from her. I want to be the one to punish her for her sins."

Voldemort smiled evilly at her and said, "I appreciate your bloodlust. Now, take the child from her, and give him to me. I shall surely allow you to do whatever you wish to them, and then they shall both die, unless Narcissa willingly gives me her child."

Bellatrix turned to Narcissa and ordered, "This is your chance to atone for your sins, give him to the Dark Lord. He demands sacrifice. We are his to command. Give your child to him, do it now!"

Narcissa turned towards Bellatrix and shouted, "HOW CAN YOU DO THIS?! I WILL NEVER SACRIFICE MY CHILD TO THE DARK LORD WHO INTENDS TO PUT HIM INTO THE JAWS OF CRUEL DEATH! I WILL NOT! ANDROMEDA WAS RIGHT ABOUT YOU! THE LOVING SISTER THAT YOU ONCE WERE IS GONE! YOU'RE A DEMONESS! I WILL NEVER GIVE UP MY SON!"

Bellatrix smiled cruelly at her and declared, "THEN I SHALL TAKE HIM FROM YOU!"

Cackling evilly, Bellatrix put on a scary look and looked at Draco, who began to cry and buried his face in his mother's shoulder.

The demoness that she was, Bellatrix lunged forward and attempted to wrest the frightened toddler from his mother. Narcissa began to scream in agony, knowing that if she loosened her grip, Draco would be ripped from her arms and would be tortured and killed.

Suddenly, Bellatrix found herself being pushed down onto the ground. She turned and looked up to see who had pushed her and was shocked to see Lucius standing in between Narcissa on one side and Voldemort and herself on the other.

Lucius turned to Narcissa and yelled, "Narcissa, take Draco and run! I'll hold him off!"

As Narcissa ran, Lucius began to fire killing curses at the Dark Lord. Voldemort dodged all of his curses and blocked some of them.

Just then, Lucius heard a scream behind him and turned around to see a Death Eater, Antonin Dolohov, seizing his wife. With a cry of rage, Lucius rushed towards them and ripped his wife and son out Dolohov's arms before pushing Dolohov to the ground. Quickly kissing Draco's forehead, Lucius shouted, "Go, run now! Get away from hear. Tell Draco that I love him!"

As he watched Narcissa running away and held his wand at the ready, he suddenly heard Voldemort crying out, "Avada Kedavra!"

Lucius turned around to see a killing curse from Voldemort's wand hurtling in Narcissa's direction, some distance away and quickly stepped into the line of fire, and then it struck him.

Narcissa heard a thud and turned around, and then she knew. Lucius was dead.

She felt the urge to run to his fallen form and mourn, but ran on to escape.

Unfortunately, she could not find a way out, as there were quite a lot of Death Eaters about that had been alerted. She however, managed to make her way to the master bedroom where she and Lucius had slept, and locked the door.

She then cried out, "Dobby!"

Instantly, a house elf appeared before her, clothed in only a filthy pillowcase and said, "Mistress Malfoy, what does…"

Narcissa nearly screamed, "Dobby, I have been exposed. The Dark Lord tried to kill Draco and I and Lucius is dead! Take us to Hogwarts, now!"

Dobby went closer to them and snapped his fingers, and they all disappeared, just as the door was blasted away and Voldemort entered the room, followed by Bellatrix and Rudolphus.

Voldemort let out a cry of rage and shouted, "THEY MAY HAVE ESCAPED, BUT THEY SHALL SUFFER THE DARK LORD'S WRATH!"

He then turned to Bellatrix and commanded, "I want you to kill her yourself! Show no mercy!"

Bellatrix shouted, "She deserves no mercy! She shall die by my hand, and so shall Draco."

Voldemort then spoke, "There is something of great importance that I had entrusted to Lucius. I must now hand it over to a worthy follower."

He went to a library nearby and retrieved what looked like a diary.

He then summoned a Death Eater by the name of Nott, who was also in the inner circle.

A minute later, Nott entered the library and said, "My Lord, what do you require of me?" Voldemort replied, "I have something to give you, one that is of utmost importance."

He then proceeded to explain about how important it was, giving the same details that he had given to Lucius. For, this was none other than Voldemort's diary in his student years, written under the name of Tom Riddle.

Afterwards, he proceeded to the entrance hall where most of the Death Eaters gathered in the manor were standing and said, "NOW, DESTROY THIS MANOR IMMEDIATELY. TONIGHT, I SHALL END THE POTTERS, ONCE AND FOR ALL!"
