.:: Chapter Two ::.
*** Summer after Harry and Draco graduated ***
"Are you sure this is a good idea Dray?" Harry asked his friend as they flew over an abandoned castle.
"Look, both the people we love are afraid of commitment because of the fear that Voldemort has created."
"I highly doubt that we'll just be able to walk in to his hideout and just kill him. I doubt it will make any difference." Harry said.
"You have so little faith." Draco called back to his friend.
"Use that brain you're always saying you have and think about it. Both of them broke up with us because they were 'afraid'. Don't crisis's bring lovers closer together? It didn't with us, so how do you know it wasn't just some kind of ploy to get rid of us for good?"
"I love her!" Draco said angrily.
"And I loved him!" Harry said bitterly, "but that didn't make one bit of difference." Harry paused, "I'm sorry, I just don't see how this will change the way they feel."
"I know how you feel mate, but we have to try, if not for them, then for the world. Everyone's going on about how they wish Voldemort would fall, but no-one is doing anything. I know Albus and the Order are fighting against his attacks, but no-one's done anything to actually try and destroy him." Draco said seriously.
Harry nodded, "Good thing I'm here, we've just found his hide-out."
"What are you chatting about Potter?" Draco snapped tiredly. "I don't see anything."
"That's true but I can feel him."
"Where?" Draco said quickly.
"It seems like he's under us," Harry said scanning the ground below.
The words were barely out of his mouth when silver cords wrapped themselves around the boys and their broomsticks, forcing them downwards.
"Well my Lord, you have two of the order members, surely you should destroy them now!" Harry recognised the voice that was outside his cell.
"My Lord! You could extract information about the Order and then kill the Gryffindor brat, but leave the other to me. I will make sure that he's well punished." A voice spoke, and Harry had no trouble in recognising this one.
"Cornelius, Lucius, I hear you both, but, they are both betrayers," Harry flinched at the sound of the cold, calculating voice, Voldemort.
The voices drifted away and Harry thought about the first speaker. Cornelius Fudge! The Minister for Magic!
Before Harry could completely finished decapitating Fudge in his mind, a commotion occurred outside his cell. "Come on you filthy traitor."
"Get off me! You disgusting Death Eater!" Harry heard Draco's voice.
"Mr Potter, I must say it is a pleasure to finally meet you face to face." A voice entered his cell. "Voldemort wishes to see his latest victims." A man spoke.
"Well then tell that disgusting Old-e-Wart that I would like a nice three- course meal, a decent bed, and my wand. And that if he wants to see me he can come down here." The Death Eater didn't move. "Don't you realise that if you don't do as I say, he'll kill you, or at least torture you?"
The offending Death Eater quickly scuttled away leaving the door wide open. //Fool, must be a new one.// Harry thought. Knowing the fool would return or at least someone with more sense would return to take him o Voldemort, Harry transfigured himself into his illegal form, a black panther. The ropes that bound him fell loosely around his animal self and he wriggled out of them. //Now to find my wand.//
Harry escaped through the open door and bounded up the stairs, keeping in the shadows, hiding himself. Hearing two voices heading down to him, Harry backed up against the wall, camouflaged by the dark shadows.
"Can you believe how stupid that brat was?" One said.
"I know, I can't believe he was initiated with us! I mean, he might have just told the boy where to find their wands and left the door open." The other replied.
"Yeah, but the brat would have to find his way to the owlery." The first said.
"I love the idea of sending their wands to the old Headmaster, knowing that two of his brats were killed at the hands of Voldemort." The second said.
//Yeah, the first Death eater I saw was dumb, and these two are just as dumb.// Harry headed off, using his feline senses to take him to the owlery. Just as he reached it, he slowed down, hearing low voices.
"I wish I could see the Master torturing the two fools."
"Yeah, but we have to stay here, until we are told to come."
"But it sucks!" The first voice said.
"We've only just been initiated, that's why. The Master just wants to show his appreciation to long standing Death Eaters. So keep your mouth shut!" The second voice spoke.
Harry transfigured himself and barked, "You two, you're wanted in the Assembly Hall. Hurry it up! Left the owls!"
Harry backed into the shadows again and quietly stole into the vacated room. Quickly he grabbed the wands and hastily scribbled a note to Albus Dumbledore and sent an owl off with it.
//Man, if we survive this, we have to contend with Albus' wrath. Death by Voldemort, Death by Albus Dumbledore. Oh which to choose?//
Harry transfigured himself once more and made his way to the gathering of Death Eaters. //Dammit, why did I let Dray talk me into this?//
He heard the screams before he reached the doors. As Harry crept into the Hall, he saw a large number of Dementors in the very centre of the room, Death Eaters surrounding them.
Summoning all his strength he fiercely whispered, "EXPECTO PATRONUM" the customary stag erupted and galloped towards the Dementors. Screams were heard as the Dementors glided in all directions.
As many younger Death Eaters disapparated out of the Hall, the older ones were pushed out of the room as the Dementors ran by the Patronus. Only Voldemort and Draco were left.
"Well Mr Potter, I am impressed. That was very well done! I applaud you!" Voldemort sneered.
"Oh thank you! Now I can die!" Harry retorted.
"That's the idea Harry."
Harry reached for Draco's wand behind his back. "You know what Voldemort?" The old man smiled at him, "Petrificus Totalus!"
The Dark Lord didn't have time to defend himself as the attack shot forth towards him.
"Nice one Harry!" Draco called. "Hey Oldie-Warts, I've a present for you." Draco walked in front of the Dark Lord and jumped off his feet, bending his head forward, smashing his forehead into the nose of the Voldemort.
He fell stumbling. "I think you broke his nose Dray." Harry smirked, Draco grinned. "Want a wand?"
"Oh, if you're offering," Harry threw it and Draco caught it.
"Cheers mate."
"How touching, such a lovely reunion." Voldemort sneered.
"Stuff it Old Man, you're outnumbered." Draco said.
"And you've been tortured while your friend has been playing in my home."
"ADVADA KEDVADA" Three voices shouted simultaneously.
The two phoenix wands joined together in the golden beam of light, while Draco's died out. Knowing what might happen, he wrapped his arms around his friend's waist, transferring all his energy to Harry as he fought pure light magic against pure dark magic.
For minutes they battled in this way, the two newly graduates of Hogwarts only winning slightly. The golden light pulsed and then again, repeating itself until the entire room was shaking.
Harry's mind awoke. Opening his eyes, Harry saw Draco sitting on a bed next to his. //Shit, back in the Infirmary at Hogwarts.//
"I feel like someone threw a great big boulder at me." He said rubbing his head.
"I know the feeling," Draco replied, smiling slightly.
"We're in so big trouble aren't we?" Harry asked.
"Yes, you both are," Harry grimaced as he heard the stern voice of Albus Dumbledore.
"Albus-" Harry started.
Albus held up his hand, "I don't know what you were thinking, or even if you were thinking at all. . . . ."
-*** The kitchen ***-
"You know, I never thought he'd finish telling us off." Draco smiled bitterly at his cup of cup.
"I know."
"D'you reckon he would have let us stayed if he knew that we would become as powerful as we are now?"
"No, like Percy, he would know if we were to ever fight against anyone as powerful as Voldemort there would a huge magical backslash, even bigger than the one we created the first time." Harry sighed.
"But I'm glad we don't have to worry about fighting him again. I like the anonymity that surrounds us." Draco said.
"I suppose only Jonesy, Kevin, Sarah, Mikey and Percy are the only ones who really know that we still exist."
"Good ole Percy and the gang. I don't suppose many have ever heard of the Department of Security." Draco flipped his legs off the table and walked over to the window.
"Owl Post." Harry said, annoyingly, making his friend turn around and stare at him.
"Why else would I being standing at the window?" Draco asked.
"Cos the view is nice," Harry smirked.
"Yes I agree with that, but no Harry, I felt the owl and let's see who it's from." Draco took the letter from the owl who flew over to Harry.
"Hey girl, wanna treat?" He gave her an owl treat and which greeted with a hoot in response.
"Minister Percy would like a word with us." Draco informed him.
"Uh-oh, did we break any rules recently?"
"I don't think so."
"I hope not. He may look sweet, but the guy can certainly bark." Harry said.
"Well get dressed."
Harry and Draco knocked on the door and entered. "Morning Percy." They said.
"Morning. I've a new assignment for your team. You are expected there at six o'clock tonight."
He slid a file over to Draco and watched their faces freeze as both read the location.
