A/n: Hey thank you for the wonderful reviews. Every time I read them I get knots in my stomach becuase I don't know whether they'll be good or bad. Sorry I cut off so quick last chapter, I wanted to change to Hermione's POV. Read and Review please.
Chapter 16
Hermione slowly wondered back to where she and Draco were seated and was not surprised to see he had gone. Hermione walked over to the bar where she helped herself to a glass of wine and was going back to her seat but stopped short outside a large wooden door. Since the noise had lowered itself to a dull murmur she heard voices on the other side of the door. Hermione looked around and saw no body was looking at her and pressed her ear to the wood paneling of the door.
"I must congratulate you on stringing that filthy mudblood along this long, Draco." Hermione heard the unmistakable voice of Lucius drawl.
"Thank you father, I'm so glad to please you." Hermione heard Draco answer back to him. Hermione whimpered silently to herself. She could believe what she was hearing.
"Good, Son. Now just keep doing this wonderful job and we'll have Potter dead in no time." Hermione sat outside the door fuming when out of anger she threw her wine cup down and kicked the door. Hermione was fretting at her stupidity when suddenly the door swung open. Hermione scrambled to her feet wiping the wine off her shoes.
"What are you doing?" Mr. Malfoy said looking at her questioningly.
"I... uh... dropped this wine cup and slipped on it, I am so sorry." Hermione said hoping they didn't think that she was listening to their conversation.
"Get up, girl." Lucius growled as Hermione stood up all the way.
"I'll be getting back to school, Draco." Hermione said pecking his cheek so he wouldn't suspect anything. Hermione hurried over to the fireplace down the hall from the study and took her gray cloak off the coat hanger while grabbing a hot pink satin sachet out of the inside pocket. Hermione fished out a reasonable amount of floo powder and threw it quickly into the fire, wanting to get away as fast as she could.
Hermione arrived back at the castle and hurried to Dumbledores office and stopped to give the stone gargoyle the password. As the gargoyle leapt aside Hermione flew up the stairs and knocked loudly on the door that was opened by Ron.
What are you doing in here?" Hermione asked pushing past him to find the Order having a quick meeting in the office, which was a little, unusual.
"Please Hermione, join us." Dumbledore said arising from his chair at the head of the table as Hermione seated herself beside an unusually weird globe. Hermione looked inside of it and saw her own dark misty reflection.
"Why am I in this globe?" Hermione asked bewildered.
"That's a Foe-glass," Harry said answering her question.
"Well, why am I in it?" Hermione asked again.
"It reflects any evil person or someone with the Dark Mark, such as you." Harry said, and Hermione thought he sounded extremely intelligent.
"Oh, I see." Hermione answered. Hermione was fascinated with all the other things in the office, too. She had to say it was the most fascinating clutter she had ever seen.
"Hermione it is a good thing you are here. We have noticed many reoccurring meetings with Voldemort when he usually has meeting once or twice a month, perhaps you could tell us why there have been so many lately." Dumbledore said taking his seat.
"Well, tonight Sir, Voldemort told us that he is planning an attack on the Order within the next few weeks, because he thought it was to obvious if he attacked at the end of the year like he did on previous attacks on the Order. Sir, you are also right about a few other things. Voldemort is using me to get to Harry and you. He is hoping I'll give away your whereabouts and plans to him so he can use them to his advantage." Hermione said trying not to remember what she had heard Draco and his Father talking about. "Sir I also don't think I am adopted, I think Voldemort is controlling the Valody's and my parents and I was thinking back to the time when I first went with them, and I can't even remember why I went, but I remember not wanting to go and not being able to say so, I have been so oblivious to the fact that it was all so obvious especially the story he had them tell me." Hermione said before she realized she was in tears.
"Hermione that is a brilliant bunch of information." Ron exclaimed as he jumped up and hugged her.
"Uh... Ron... calm down." Harry told Ron.
"Uh... sorry." Ron said backing away and sitting in his seat, as his ears turned red.
"Hermione, If this is the case Voldemort may be planning to kill you so you should be very careful as to not make anyone suspicious." Professor Dumbledore said very seriously. Hermione noticed the twinkle in the Professors eye was gone and was filled with grave concern.
"I think I have Lucius suspicious. I was listening in on him talking to Malfoy and he congratulated Malfoy on playing me this long. He said they'd have Harry dead in no time thanks to me. Well I got so mad that I through my glass down and kicked the door. He opened it and caught me sitting there and I told him I tripped but I think he is a bit suspicious if I heard him or not." Hermione said wringing her hands as she saw Tonks and Kinglsey shake their heads angrily.
"I think someone should take Hermione's spot, it is far to dangerous for her and someone who is an auror would have a better survival chance." Dumbledore said tapping his foot gently against the floor.
"I could do it" Tonks piped up.
"Just the person I had in mind, that way we wouldn't have to worry about polyjuice and what not." Dumbledore said as Tonks screwed her eyes up and turned into a perfect replica of Hermione.
"Wow." Hermione said blinking at Tonks.
"Now I will have to learn to be you." Tonks said frowning at Hermione's frizzy curls before changing back to her normal self.
"No I will not kiss that two faced git!" Tonks said stomping her feet at Hermione.
"You have to! Don't make me hex your arse." Hermione said pointing her wand at Tonks who was once again a perfect twin of Hermione.
"You wouldn't, don't tangle with me Granger." Tonks said, Hermione hadn't heard Tonk's this angry since Bellatrix got away after killing Sirius.
"Sorry, but if your gonna be convincing you have to be me." Hermione said as Hermione placed her hands on her hips.
"So have I got the way you talk down?" Tonks asked making her voice sound like Hermione's.
"Yes. Know you have to get the way I treat Malfoy down." Hermione said shoving her wand into the pocket of her robes.
"I know exactly how to treat him, like the scaly git he is." Tonks said refusing to even touch him.
"You have to Tonks." Hermione said as an idea popped in her head. "Okay I'm going to have go on a date with him you will be forced to touch him then." Hermione said smirking at Tonks.
"And how will we do that?" Tonks asked crossing her arms over her chest like a little girl who didn't get the shoes she wanted.
"Tomorrow is Saturday, and it is Hogsmead weekend before break." Hermione said turning to follow Tonks as she sat in a vacant desk in the empty classroom. "Malfoy wants me to go with him he asked me a few days ago and now your going with him." Hermione said clicking her nails on the desk Tonks was sitting in.
"Fine, but how will you know I do anything with him?" Tonks asked Hermione hoping to ditch the git.
"I'll follow you in Harry's invisibility cloak." Hermione said smiling.
"Arggg." Tonks said kicking Hermione's foot playfully.
"You volunteered for this mission." Hermione said as her stomach grumbled. Hermione looked down at her watch and groaned she had missed lunch again. Hermione had been excused from classes all day long so she could train Tonks to be her.
"I'm leaving meet me here tomorrow morning at 9:45" Hermione directed as she picked up her bag and left the classroom. Hermione couldn't bear to miss class so to keep herself from going she started to wander around. Hermione wanted to laugh a few minutes later when she saw herself outside of the potion class. Hermione peered in and smiled. The class was working in three's and she saw Harry and Ron struggling on there own potion. Hermione pulled open the dungeon doors and stepped in.
"You're late!" Snape barked.
"Five points from Gryffindor." Snape shouted as Hermione turned beat red.
"Darn it!" Hermione screamed at herself in her head. "Have you forgotten where I was Professor?" Hermione spat of him.
"Find a partner." Snape growled and stalked off.
"Hey you guys." Hermione said joining them.
"I don't think this is right." Harry said looking at everybody else's cauldrons and seeing a maroon mist hovering above them.
"No it isn't." Hermione said grabbing a bottle of black hearts and throwing 5 in.
"That's not on the list." Ron said freaking out.
"Don't worry. You put 5 to many drops of troll tears into it," Hermione said bewildering Ron and Harry. "Black hearts cancel it out." Hermione said stirring the potion counter clockwise then clockwise as it turned a deep shade of maroon.
"How in the world did you know that?" Ron asked scratching his head.
"It's Hermione." Harry said. "Hermione knows all."
"Do not, it's common sense." Hermione said nudging Harry.
