I'm sorry I take so long to update! I can never write, for some reason. I get muse-jolts every few weeks, and that's the only time I can write. Sorry!
Oh and I'm sorry for what's about to happen to Harry...it's just part of the story. This is a really short chapter, even for me. Appologies.

Chapter Seven - Advancing Backwards
Morning did not come quickly enough for Draco, who slept restlessly in his bed in the Slytherin dungeon until five o'clock, when he awoke and got out of bed, pacing the common room for at least an hour - he had long since lost track of time because of all the thoughts flying around his head. It was all so confusing; it was times like these when he wished he had a penseive to keep all of his thoughts organized.
After at least a half an hour of pacing and deliberating, there was a flash of fire in the air before him and a single scarlet feather fell to the ground in front of him; he was being summoned by Dumbledore. Immediately, he rushed out of the dungeon and took the marble stairs two at a time. He reached the gargoyle outside of Dumbledore's office out of breath to see Dumbledore standing there patiently. After a moment, Hermione Granger can skidding to a halt next to him, also breathing heavily.
Dumbledore surveyed them both for a moment. "We're going to leave now," he said slowly. "I just want to impress upon you the danger of what we are about to do. It is more than likely that we are walking into a trap. The only reason that I am not insisting that you stay behind is because I am certain of the high-quality of your magical ability and your devotion to Harry. I suspect that you would attempt to go after Harry even if I insisted that you stay behind, so it's better that I am with you to protect you if necessary."
Draco shifted nervously - he wanted to go, to save Harry. Dumbledore reached into his robes and pulled out the piece of parchment he'd used the previous night, which still bore the words "St. Brutus's Secure Center for Incurably Criminal Boys, London".
Dumbledore cleared his throat. "Please take hold of this parchment, Hermione, Draco."
They did so.
Dumbledore pointed his wand at the parchment and said, "Portus ad locam hanc".
There was a tugging feeling behind Draco's navel, the room swirled around him, and he vanished.
----
Lucius Malfoy burst through the door, chest heaving. Quickly, he fell to his knees and kissed the hem of his Lord's robes.
"What is it, Malfoy?" hissed the unnaturally high voice.
"My lord, Dumbledore is aware, he is on his way!"
Voldemort hissed in rage. Several nearby vases exploaded in giant fireballs.
"We must commence the operation immediately, Lucius. Get your men together. We leave in half an hour. Do not fail me."
----
Draco materialized in a room that was all grey. Dumbledore and Hermione soon appeared next to him. There were other people in the room. They were all gathered around a bed. And on the bed....
