Chapter 1: The Mission
Harry, Ron, and Hermione were standing on the platform saying their goodbyes to all their year mates when about a thousand owls swooped down carrying messages for the former seventh year Hogwarts students. Harry picked up the one addressed to him off the floor and silently began to read it.
Dear Mr. Potter,
A couple of changes have been made and you are needed here at Hogwarts. The reason I can not explain in this letter. Please get back on the Hogwarts Express and return immediately.
Albus Dumbledore
Headmaster of Hogwarts
P.S. Others whom have received further instructions in this letter is because they're needed for a less secretive reason.
As Harry and his year mated read their letters they looked up at each other in shock. Harry picked up his things and walked back onto the Hogwarts Express, the others followed his lead.
On the Hogwarts Express Harry was surprised to see that Malfoy deliberately came to sit with him, Ron, and Hermione and speak to them. Harry was even more surprised when he heard what Malfoy wanted to speak to them about.
"Hi Harry, Ron, Hermione!" said Draco Malfoy, a pale and ghostly looking boy, in a cheerful voice. Draco, in seeing that they were completely shocked he was speaking to them, went right to the point.
"Let me cut to the chase," he paused, waiting for a response. Since he saw none he continued. "In my letter it says that my part of this big secret is to get along with you so...-"
"Get along with us!" Hermione half shouted, cutting in to Draco's wavering pause.
"I'd never thought I'd say this but Dumbledore must be mad." Ron said with wide eyed astonishment.
Draco had been an enemy to the trio since the first year, when Harry turned down being Draco's friend.
Just then Harry looked up to see they were at the Hogsmed station. Instead of the horseless carriages waiting there for them Dumbledore himself stood there with many others such as Lupin, Hagrid, Snape, McGonagall, and others Harry recognized from the Order of the Phoenix. Harry and his year mates slowly got off the train and silently followed Professor Dumbledore, walking, back to the school.
The year mates fit snugly into Dumbledore's small office, Harry thought that Dumbledore had put and enlarging charm on it. Dumbledore sat down and got ready to speak.
"I am sorry to say that Hogwarts is no longer safe for witches and wizards in training, Voldemort has found a way to enter the castle." As these last word emerged from the wise wizard's mouth there were many gasps in the room but on several familiar faces there were only looks of worry. "You have been called here today to become part of what I call the HUSM or the Hogwarts United Security Measures. No student is to know your here, unless you are part of the HUSM undercover as a teaching position. You will watch over the children in secret corridors and make sure no harm comes to them. I will be assigning you to pairs in which you are to work together. Please do not complain, I know what I am doing and why I am doing this." Dumbledore waved a hand at Snape and stood up.
"These are the people you will be paired up with" Snape said this s a list protruded from his wand. On it were the people:
Ron Weasley, Pavarati Patil
Hermione Granger, Pansy Parkinson
Harry was astonished as he read the names at the top of the list, it would never work. Harry scrolled down looking for his name at the very bottom of the list was his name next to Draco Malfoy's!
Harry snapped out of it and listened to what Minerva McGonagall was saying, "The people with teaching positions will be Harry Potter, Defense Against the Dark Arts, and Neville Longbottom, Herbology. Unfortunately Professor Sprout had to go on a separate mission and will not be teaching this year." Professor McGonagall paused letting the following sink in, "Now if you'll please follow me," she continued, "I will show you to your rooms."
Professor McGonagall lead the Hogwarts' graduates down what seemed a never ending tunnel that was hidden behind the bookcase in Dumbledore's office. They finally arrived at a large room.
"You will be sharing a room with your partner, I expect for you to behave if you are a coed pair." McGonagall began to walk out of the room. "I almost forgot, your names are on the doors of the rooms you've been assigned to. Longbottom, Potter follow me and I will show you how to get to your office's from here. You will be sleeping here instead of with the other teachers."
She led Neville and Harry to a portrait of a beautiful young mermaid and her family.
"The password is hurry, I think follow the tunnel until you get out in the Great Hall. I think you will know where to go from there."
Professor McGonagall left and Harry and Neville stood there dumbfounded. Harry finally headed to his room, ready to face Malfoy.
Harry opened the door to find Malfoy lying down, face up on his bed.
"Surprise, surprise." Said Malfoy with his usual smug look on his face, "Potter going to be a teacher. Who wouldn't have known?"
"Shut up Malfoy!" Harry said fiercely, "I thought we had to get along with each other."
At that moment an owl came flying in the window and dropped a letter on Malfoy's head. It was a howler from Dumbledore. Malfoy looked at it with fear as it yelled out, "You better get along with him, OR ELSE!"
With that Malfoy calmed down and the rest of the holiday sped by with plans and strategies to over come and defeat Voldermort.
(A/N I know it's a cheesy ending but I think you'll like the next chapter *I hope she says with a nervous laugh*)
