Chapter 4-
The next morning, Draco woke up as Blaise shook him awake. He was on the floor, tangled in the sheets in his boxers.
"What, Ginny?" he mumbled.
"Who?" Blaise asked surprised. Draco opened his eyes.
"Huh?"
Blaise looked at him. "Something about....never mind. Dumbledore wants you in his office-NOW."
Draco, still drowsy, pulled a t-shirt over his chest and pulled a cloak over himself. He didn't care how he looked. It was only 6:00. Nobody would be up.
He walked to Dumbledore's office and knocked on the door while he rubbed his eyes. Dumbledore answered in his usual cheerful manner.
"Welcome, Draco!" he said, ushering him in. Ginny was sitting in one of the plush chairs, watching as Fawkes flew around the room. Dumbledore pointed to a chair and it immediately scooted over to where Draco was standing. Draco sat down in it, knowing exactly what was to come.
Dumbledore sat down at his desk, across from them. "Now, Draco, there's only the matter of this letter..."
"I haven't even read it." Draco said. Dumbledore picked up the paper and handed it to Draco. Draco looked at Ginny, but she wouldn't look even near him. Draco unfolded the letter and read.
Draco,
Lord Voldemort is ready for action. On the 1st of January, while everyone celebrates the birth of a new year, we will storm Hogwarts. That will send a message to the wizarding world that Lord Voldemort will not be a figment of the past. To avoid trouble, a sleeping spell will be put over the castle. You will join us in the Forbidden Forrest at 11:30 or else the consequences will be dire. Bring the Zabini girl with you. Her father wants her to have a taste of our fun, convince her to change her mind.
In case you have trouble getting out of the castle in time, enclosed is a pendant. Whoever possesses it will not be affected by the sleeping spell.
Sincerely,
Your Father
Lucius Malfoy
Draco handed the letter back to Dumbledore, who held up the pendant. It was on a gold chain. It was circular, plain, with an inscription on the back. Dumbledore read it.
"The keeper of the pendant, he and all who keep hold of him be safe through and through."
Ginny's face was a mask of confusion.
Dumbledore smiled. "Draco, I think we should tell Ms. Weasley what is going on." Draco nodded.
"Ginny, Draco is an informant." Dumbledore said. "Mr. Malfoy still believes Draco to be loyal, but for about two years now, Draco has been alerting me to Voldemort's plans. "
Draco smiled as Ginny looked at him in surprise.
"Ms. Weasley," Dumbledore continued. "I believe it would be best if you did not share this information with anyone. And Mr. Malfoy, I will alert the Ministry immediately."
"But, Headmaster!" Draco said. "I could get them from the inside. You know. Undercover."
Dumbledore sighed. "If you wish, I suppose. I'll talk to you again later, Draco. But you and Ginny had better be off." And with that the door sprung open and Draco and Ginny exited.
Ginny ran off without a word.
