Walking with Malfoy back to the common room, Danielle was trying to work
out the best way to tell Harry what was going on. She wasn't sure if she
wanted to; it wasn't in her nature to betray people, even if the whole
world hated them. But she had promised Dumbledore. Just incase she had
forgotten she heard Dumbledore's voice in her head 'Don't forget your
allegiance'.
Reaching the common room, Danielle took a seat near Malfoy, stretched out she closed her eyes for a second, and when she opened them Malfoy was looking at her, she gave him a slight smile and sat up. "Um, Danielle," he said, obviously uncomfortable about calling her Danielle, 'Its well odd that you've come here in our 6th year..." Danielle sighed, even though she was expecting this, she was hoping she wouldn't have to explain it to Malfoy. Danielle shrugged, "It's not really that interesting, Dad worked for the Ministry in Australia, and well they've asked him to come back here now that...well the Dark Lord is back" Malfoy looked surprised, Danielle catching a glimpse of the surprised look laughed, "Yeah we do know about him back down in Australia, we aren't totally out of touch you know," she said jokingly.
Danielle sighed again, Malfoy standing up asked, "You any good at charms?" Danielle looked up at him, she didn't notice how nice he's eyes were – 'Urgh no, on assignment, don't even think about it', "Yeah I'm not too bad...why?" Getting up she walked over to the tables with Malfoy to give him a hand with the work. By the time they'd finished Danielle noticed it was nearly 10. Saying goodnight to Malfoy she headed up to her room and got her invisibility cloak out of her trunk, pulling it on she walked back to the entrance of the common room, quickly making sure no one was there she left, running up to the room of requirements.
"God, sorry I'm late" Danielle said, when she finally reached the room. Harry glared at her "Why am I here?" Danielle sat down in one of the big chairs in the room, and smiled "Maybe you should sit down, we really need to talk... no Harry this is really important," she said when Harry tried to talk. Shrugging Harry sat down next to her and waited. Danielle took a deep breath, "Well," she started, "As you know I'm Danielle, what you don't know is why I'm here." Harry looked slightly confused, "Sirius Black was my cousin," she said simply. Harry's face twisted in pain, remembering what happened only a few months ago. "I know that's not what you want to hear, but please you need to trust me. Dumbledore is a really good friend of my dad. I'm here because, well they needed someone to keep track of what the Slyrthins are doing, there's some one in every house most are first years.." breaking off suddenly she noticed Dumbledore in the room.
"Harry, Danielle," he greeted them, "Harry, I know this isn't what you expected, and I'm sorry know one told you about Danielle, Sirius though she was dead up until 3days before he died. But there is something much more important than that, Danielle needs your support here, even though you can't be seen together, you need to be there for each other. Dani is going to be under heaps of pressure, she has to pretend to support Voldermort." Harry looked at Dumbledore confused, "I don't get it," he said simply after a few moments. Dumbledore took a deep breath, "Basically Danielle is my spy. She's telling me what is going on with Voldermort, what the Slytherin's know anyway – from their parents and such." Harry nodded, "And she needs me...why exactly?" Danielle looked at Dumbledore, he nodded, "Harry, we both loved Sirius, I know I want someone to talk to about that...and well, if you are seeing talking to Dumbledore no one would be the wiser, but if I'm seen..." Harry looked slightly insulted "So you're using me as your secretary to save your own ass? Well that classy!" He shouted, "If you really are Sirius cousin, you'd have more respect." And with that Harry walked out.
