Author's note: Hey...all you HP fanfic-ers! Ahh...this is my very first story...so don't flame it too much...Hope you like it!!!
Chapter 1: The Task at Hand (Prologue)
"Hermione, I'm not going to let you do this. You can't! It's too dangerous. It's not worth it. " Harry yelled.
"(Laughing) Look, you're the last person I'd expect to be lecturing ME on danger! You're Harry Potter, the Boy-Who-Lived! I want to help out more...just because I'm a girl doesn't mean I can't do anything." Hermione retorted.
Hermione couldn't believe it. Harry was always the one to be the hero. He had risked his life too many times to count. She wanted to help...it seemed like he was the only one out of the auror gang that ever did anything. This was her mission. She had to have it.
Ron, watching his two best friends argue, decided it was time to intervene.
"You know, Hermione, I don't think this is such a great idea either. You know Lucius, who knows what he'll do to you if he found out!"
"Oh Ron, how typical, you're siding with Harry! Don't forget, Draco is on our side now. He's got every bit of his father in him, except for the death-eater part. Why their almost identical, right down to that wicked smirk, except for the fact that Draco's an auror. "
It was always like this...with the two boys. Hermione loved them like brothers...but no one would believe how much like "older-brothers" they actually were. They had been over-protecting her for over 7 years now. She wanted to save the day this time, and not leave it for Harry to do.
Draco, sitting in a corner of the Burrow, heard his name and gets up startled. He would have never thought that he'd be in the Weasley's house. He couldn't help but realize that this was more of a home than the Malfoy Manor could have ever been. It was full of warmth and coziness. But he couldn't think of his old "home" now...it just wasn't the time.
"Hey, Potter, I heard my name. What are you talking about?! You'd better not be messing around, we're in a critical situation right now, you know. We have to find out where Voldemort's gone to!"
Harry knew Malfoy never liked their arguments and that he had never quite felt like part of the group yet. He just hoped that he could change that...he had to break the ice somehow. He hoped a joke would help...anything...to break the seriousness of the situation.
Harry smirked and exclaimed, "Why we were just wondering what you used in your hair today, Malfoy. It looks just like Snape's!
The group of aurors couldn't help but burst out into laughter. They hadn't had the chance to laugh in sometime now.
Four years, it has been since they were last at Hogwarts. After graduation, they left Hogwarts in the midst of all out war between good and evil. The whole gang joined auror training programs right after 7th year. Surprisingly, Draco had turned out to be "good" and joined as well. Many were skeptical at first, a Malfoy being an auror, to say the least, is a remarkable thing. But Draco proved everyone wrong when he saved Harry while on a mission. The dark side had been on the rise since their 5th year.
The past half year had left the wizarding world in a state of recuperation. Death Eater attacks became subtle and far between. But it was not the time to let their guards down; everyone knew it was only the calm before the real storm broke loose. Voldemort was by no means gone.
