When Things Don't Go According to Plan

Chapter 2: The Letters

Draco's POV:

Draco, I know what you are trying to do. You should never run away if you don't know where you are going. At this time it isn't safe for anyone. Floo to the Leaky Cauldron but instead of running from there, spend the night there and wait until someone comes to get you. Of course you don't have to listen to me but if you want somewhere to stay I suggest you listen. You will be coming to the Order of the Phoenix. I know you don't want to fight on either side and you don't have to but you can stay with us without committing to anything. Owl us back your answer with Hedwig.

Headmaster Albus Dumbledore

Draco sat down on his bed thinking of what he should do. It was true in the fact that he wouldn't have anywhere to go, but wasn't sure if he wanted to go to the Order. He has heard about the order from his father. It was like the Dark sides death eaters but without the Dark mark. He decided that he should go to the Order because he had nowhere else to go. He quickly wrote a note to Dumbledore telling him he would go, and quickly flooed to the Leaky Cauldron.

Hermione's POV:

Hermione, I know you want to run away to the Burrow. Unfortunately it isn't safe there. Come to the Order. Floo to the Leaky Cauldron, rent a room and wait for someone to come get you. I have added your house to the Floo network for 1 hour. If you agree to this owl us back using Pigwedgeon (A/N: Is that how you spell it?) then use the floo powder we've included and go to the Leaky Cauldron.

Headmaster Albus Dumbledore

Hermione sat down on her bed thinking why it wouldn't be safe to go to the Burrow. She came to the conclusion that it must have something to do with Voldemort's return and quickly accepted Dumbledore's offer. Then she looked at the letter and saw that a bag of floo powder was there. She then quietly flooed to the Leaky Cauldron.

Draco's POV:

When he reached the Leaky Cauldron he walked over to Tom the shopkeeper and asked for a room for the evening. Tom nodded and brought him to room 9. Draco looked around the room paid Tom and went to sleep. Little did he know the troubles that would come the next day.

Hermione's POV:

When she reached the Leaky Cauldron Tom was nowhere to be seen so she sat down by the counter and waited. When he came downstairs she asked for a room for the night. Tom nodded and brought her to room 11, when she got there she realised she had no money. She told Tom this and walked towards the door, when he told her that Dumbledore had owled him and told him everything and that it was already paid for. Hermione was a bit shocked at this but nodded and closed the door behind Tom. She then decided to go straight to sleep. Little did she know how much trouble awaited her in the morning.

A/N: I know that these chapters are short but I plan on writing one everyday!!
