"I just heard a joke, you want to hear it?" Danika asked, as she walked into the common room and sat next to her brother.

It was now the day before Halloween and Draco was walking around like a zombie. Dumbledore hadn't said anything to them since they got the letter, and the worry was beginning to wear thin on their emotions.

Draco shook his head.

"Are you alright?" Danika asked.

"Do I look like I am alright?" Draco snapped, not looking at his sister. Had he been looking at her, he would have seen the upset look on her face.

"Fine. I am going to find Harry." She got up and began walking away.

"Whatever, run to your boyfriend. He will come and save the day." Draco said the last part sarcastically.

Danika shook her head. She knew he was just worried about what would happen tomorrow, but he had no right to take it out on her.

She walked out and made her way to the Astronomy Tower, to meet up with Harry. She had began to use Harry as her lifeline. He was always there for her, even if he didn't technically know what was going on in her life.

"Hey Harry." She said as she approached him. He had been looking out the window, apparently deep in thought.

He turned and smiled at her, but said nothing.

"Is something wrong?" She moved so that she was standing next to him.

"Just thinking." He answered.

"Obviously. What were you thinking about?"

He just shrugged, "Stuff".

Danika sighed. "Alright I will let you off this time. But I want to know eventually."

He nodded. "Halloween is tomorrow." He turned towards her. "You going to the feast?"

"Hopefully. But, I don't know." She answered, dissapointment showing clearly in her voice.

"Why?"

Danika was about to answer when she was stopped by her brothers voice.

"She can't tell you, Potter." Draco stepped out of darkness.

"Any news?" Danika asked.

He nodded, "We need to go see Dumbledore."

Danika nodded, said goodbye to Harry and then followed Draco down to the Headmaster's office.

"Gummy Bears." He said, and the pheonix sprung to life.

The twins went up and at the top, knocked on the door.

"Come in," they heard from the inside.

The two went in, quietly.

"Mr. and Miss Malfoy, I am glad you could come." The old man said, eyes no longer twinkling. He ushered the two into seats. "Mr. Malfoy, I have decided what to do for your situation." Draco nodded. "I am going to have you go to the ceremony, as if you were to get the Mark."

"But Professor Dumbledore.." Draco started.

"You will NOT get the Mark. There will be undercover Order members there, ready to strike. You mustn't give it away that they are there though. If you do, things could get disasterous." The old man's face was serious.

Draco nodded.

"And you Miss Malfoy. You need to say in your dorm tomorrow. Meals will be brought to you. I do not want you invovled in this."

Danika was about to argue, but though better of it because of the look Dumbledore had. She nodded.

"Remember what I said, and I will see you tomorrow, except for you Miss Malfoy, correct?"

Danika nodded again, stood and lead the way out the door.
