***Wow! I had a lot of reviews in a little time! I'm trying to update
quicker, so I'm starting this chapter. Here are the reviews:
*metalhead: lol There will defiantly be some Harry/Luna in the next few chapters. Probably a lot in chap. 13. Oh and yes, you rock. Why are you still reading this? Read the chapter!
*arrow-card: woah. A little too many censors there. Don't worry. Tonks is not, I repeat, not dead. Neither is kingsly. Calm down.
*fredandgeorge4eva: read to find out!
*Lady Lorene: traitor is revealed in this chapter!
*Taryn Weasley: thanx for pointing that out. I hadn't realized that till you brought it up. I've fixed it though so that there is still a traitor. Just read to see what I mean.
*ronluvr28: Ron sees the chick again in this chapter so read to see!
***Ok that's all of 'em! Overview of last chap. Harry and co. get to school and find that the Order has been found out and that there is a traitor among them! So if you wanna see what happens this chap.read!
The next morning Hermione awoke to a day that contrasted her mood in every way. Bright sunlight poured through the dormitory windows and spilled across her bed. With a groan she pulled herself out of bed and, yawning, got ready and left for the Great Hall.
Cheery voices echoed of the walls as people laughed and shouted completely unaware that they could all be killed at any moment by the dark lord. Taking her normal spot next to Ron and Harry, she began to think about who the traitor could be. Suddenly a thought entered her mind. "Harry!" she hissed and pulled his head down. Looking particularly annoyed Harry glared at her.
"Hermione," he groaned. She ignored him.
"Harry! Only Dumbledor could've let Voldemort in! He was the secret keeper!" Harry's eyes widened as Ron stuck his head under the table.
"What's happened?" he asked franticly. Hermione shook her head and sat up straight. The post had arrived. Her eyes scanned the flock of owls for Errol but he never came. To her surprise however a small barn owl landed gracefully in front of her. Without a moment's hesitation she grabbed the letter off it's leg and tore it open.
Dear Mione,
I miss you. I miss you. I miss you. I have no doubt that you've heard about the whole traitor in the order scam. You have to be careful. We're all in a lot of danger, I don't wanna have to save you again. Fred is teasing me over my shoulder so I'll have to cut this letter short. He is so immature. Then again, so am I. That's why you love me, right? This owl is yours. Don't tell Fred, he doesn't know I used the shop's profit's for it. Name it whatever you want and use it to keep in touch with yours truly. I love you Mione.
Your George
Hermione felt a single tear roll down her cheek and she wiped it away embarrassed.
"Eh Hermione!" Ron gagged from next to her. "Get this owl off me!" The small owl was circling Ron's head and snapping at his hair. With a small laugh Hermione snatched the owl out of the air and caressed its feathers. With a soft hoot it flew from her hands to join the other owls. Hermione smiled after it. She felt much better.
Harry groaned loudly. "We have double potions, with Slytherins." Hermione gathered up her books.
"I wonder who's teaching it?" Ron asked curiously as they left the hall. Hermione and Harry shrugged.
"It's my mum," came an airy voice from behind them. The three turned to see the girl that was with Malfoy on the train. Ron blushed profusely.
"I'll bet she's good," he murmured. The girl smiled wide.
"The best Mr. Weasley. I don't believe I've told you my name. It's Hayley."
Ron blushed speechless. Smiling Harry stepped in for him. "That's Ron. I'm Harry, and this is our friend, Hermione." Hayley smiled warmly at them all.
"I've heard so much about you from Malfoy." Their mouths fell open.
"Good or bad?" Ron asked forgetting he was shy of the girl. Hayley was startled.
"Oh I-" She faded off. "Will you show me were the dungeons are? I'm afraid I don't know."
***
A beautiful blonde haired woman waited behind Snape's normal desk. Hermione couldn't help but feel grateful that it was Snape who was missing. Hayley sat with them at a table and set up her cauldron next to Ron's, earning her less then friendly looks from her mom and Malfoy.
The substitute Professor stared at her daughter for a moment before turning around a tapping the board with her wand. The directions for the potion they were making that day filled the board up.
They had been working for a half an hour when it happened. With a sudden burst of understanding Harry jumped out of his seat, knocking his cauldron over.
"The note! Kreacher!" He shouted his eyes wide. With that he ran out of the room leaving all eyes staring at were he had stood.
***I know this seems like it doesn't explain much, but the traitor is revealed in this chapter. I'm so glad I got an update this soon. I'll try and be this quick with the next few. Please review!
