A/N: I just wanted to clear a few things up: 1) Cho IS one year older than
Harry, but I decided to have her be the same age as the others to make the
story more interesting…and besides…I needed someone to make Hermione
jealous and Cho was the only one I can think of. 2) As someone kindly noted
in their review, I wrote platform 9 ½ in the first chapter, all I have to
say is…..OOPS!!! I can kick myself right now…I don't know WHERE my mind was
when I wrote it…. 3) In the first chapter, Harry was in Dumbledore's office
to be told that he was Head Boy.
I just wanted to answer these questions that people had asked me in their review. Now is the time for action, putting the romance on hold for a few seconds. Well…enjoy the new chapter!
The few weeks that proceeded Ron and Harry's "conversation" passed uneventfully. Every morning, in the Daily Prophet, they would discover more attacks linked with Voldemort. The situation outside of Hogwarts is worsening. Harry has experienced pain from his scar, and had even gone to Dumbledore about it, but the Professor just informed his that is was inevitable because Voldemort is most definitely gaining more power (remember in the 4th book, when Dumbledore told Harry that his scar would hurt whenever Voldemort was near him, or feeling powerful).
Harry was sitting in Potions when Professor McGonagall came in, interrupting the class, and whispered something in Snape's ear.
"Potter and Malfoy, Professor Dumbledore wants you." Snape said, looking positively murderous, as he was just about to take 50 points from Gryfindor for Harry answering a question incompletely, before Professor McGonagall came in.

As the two of them walked down to Dumbledore's office, Harry suddenly realized that something was seriously and mortally wrong. Malfoy hasn't made a single rude remark at him since the beginning of the year. I mean….he act almost civil . Pushing this truly disturbing thought out of his head, Harry wondered what he could possibly be called down for.
"Ah, Mr. Potter, Mr. Malfoy, come in and have a seat." Professor Dumbledor said warmly as Professor McGonagall exited the room, closing the door behind her.
"Now, Harry, do you remember when I told you at the beginning of this year that I have been formulating a plan to defeat Voldemort?" (just in case you were wondering, this wasn't included in previous chapters) The Professor asked Harry. Draco, to Harry's surprise, didn't wince when he hear the name.
"Yes, Professor."
"Good, I want you to get to know Mr. Malfoy here, as he is a vital part of my plan and you two will be working together a lot in the future."
At Harry's confused look, Dumbledore continued, "You see, Mr. Malfoy, is currently working as a spy, putting his life on the line. He has agreed to join Voldemort's circle, and he will be providing us with important information."
Harry stared at Dumbledore with a look of shock. Throwing a sideways glance at Draco, Harry commented, "I have to be honest with you, I don't trust him."
"That I had expected, but do you trust ME?"
"Yes, most definitely."
"Then you'll have no problem with Mr. Malfoy then."

Back at the common room, Harry gave an account of the entire meeting to Hermione and Ron.
"Is he out of his mind?" Ron exclaimed with a stunned look on his face. Hermione looked thoughtful.
"I don't know…I really don't know…"
