They apparated home. Yes, they were truthfully and honestly home. But it didn't surprise them that the entire Order was at Harry's house.
They all looked up in shock.
"Harry!" Exclaimed Hermione with tear stained eyes as she stood up.
Harry and Draco looked at each other and smirked at them, which only caused more shock to run through the Order at the fact that Harry had mastered the Malfoy smirked.
"We thought you were dead. A secret spy told us that she overheard that you got captured and that you had died. Harry! Draco! Your okay!"
They looked at one another. "Who?" They both said in shock.
Cho stepped out from behind a statue in Harry's home.
"What?" Said both Harry and Draco
Cho stared at the floor not willing to speak.
"Well, Cho is a Death Eater as well. She was a secret Death Eater with Voldemort. But they didn't know that she was a double spy for us as well. When she found out that you had both been caught she quickly alerted us and told us what had happened. Let me tell you, she was VERY put out. Apparently she blames herself for what happened." Said Dumbledore
"But who knew about her? Why didn't we know about her? Was the letter fake? Did she plan it so we would get captured then? How did she get in here anyway?"
Dumbledore starred at the ranging Draco Malfoy.
"All will be answered as soon as we get you well on your way of healing and the both of you cleaned off."
"Oh! I forgot!" Said Draco reaching to touch his face and winced at the pain.
Hermione quickly came up to Draco and whipped the blood from his face as she made him drink some potions to heal the cuts. The cuts were so deep, every one of them. Draco actually felt the scars burning as he drank the healing serum Hermione gave him.
When the wounds on Draco's face had stopped bleeding and were visibly starting to heal he went upstairs to take a shower.
When he was done Harry had just stepped out of his own room and Draco jumped Harry from behind wrapping his legs around Harry's waist from the back.
"Hey to you too!" Said Harry trying to keep balance from the impact of his lover.
"I Love You."
"Well, I Love You more."
"Nu uh! Do not!"
Harry laughed, his beauty.
They both entered the living room with Harry carrying Draco on his back.
They took a seat beside each other again. Now was the time for explaining everything.
"So, what is SHE doing here?" Asked Draco eyeing Cho suspiciously and head held high and proud.
Cho saw the look in Draco's glare and quickly looked away.
"Draco stop that." Said Harry
"Okay, okay. I'm sorry Cho. But this doesn't mean I don't want an explanation."
Dumbledore smiled at them.
"Well, You see, the only person who knew Cho was helping our side was I. No one else knew about her." Said Albus
"What about Severus and the Death Eaters?"
"Cho is a personal Death Eater to Voldemort. She has been feeding Voldemort half-truth stories about the Order, which were planned from me for her to gain Voldemort's private trust. She had told Voldemort that the reason why she wanted to join was to make Harry pay for killing Cedric. Voldemort thought he had pulled one over on her because it was him who killed Cedric not Harry.
Draco pondered this. "Okay, and the letter?"
"Well, with regards to 'the letter' I have no idea about that so if you wouldn't mind explaining, it would be nice." Said Dumbledore
Draco looked at Cho and Cho starred at Draco.
Cho blushed a bit and looked at the floor, "I meant that letter. The thing was when Harry's response found me I just so happened to be in the Malfoy Manor and right after I read the letter and agreed that I would meet with you I had to go on a mission for Voldemort. I had neither the time nor the place to hide the letter I got from Harry and I'm afraid Lucius had found the letter and I didn't know. I'm sorry."
"It's Okay Cho, mistakes happen." Said Harry
"WHAT? We were almost killed! Harry, you almost died-AGAIN!" Yelled Draco
"Draco, please, calm down?" Asked Harry quietly
Harry's calmness being one hundred percent contagious to the Slytherin caused Draco to quickly find himself again and didn't say anything else.
"Anyways," Said Harry, "I was wondering how you got in here if Draco is the Secret Keeper?"
"Voldemort gave me something." Said Cho pulling out a long chain hanging around her neck with a purple pendant on it in the shape of a skull with a snake coming out of it's mouth. "It allows me to get into any place without the Secret Keeper. He didn't have this when he was around before and it takes a long time to make one of these pendants. All I know is that this is the only one which exists."
Draco looked at it in awe. That little pendant took away so much power from Draco. This only resulted in Draco feeling even more bitter about Cho. First she tries to steal his Harry, then she makes him feel powerless at being able to enter Harry's house without his consent. What ELSE does she have up her sleazy sleeve?
"Well, why didn't you do anything to stop Voldemort and Lucius from hurting us if you were on our side?" Asked Draco rather harshly.
"By the time I realized what was going on the Death Eaters found out what I was as well. It didn't take long for them to put two and two together. I had to flee from them and I came here. I only managed to retrieve one thing." She pulled out Harry's invisibility cloak.
'Damn this girl has everything. Harry's going to fall for her for sure.' Thought Draco.
Harry took the cloak back and ran the material through his fingers. "Thanks!"
Cho smiled a shy smile at Harry and looked back at the floor again.
"How do we know she's not STILL a spy for Voldemort?" Asked Draco trying to find something, ANYTHING to accuse her of wrong doing.
Harry turned to look at Draco, "Draco, are you dumb? We defeated the bastard remember? You were there and now the Death Eaters are trying to kill her. What could she POSSIBLY do?"
Draco didn't say anything but that fact was overlooked by a bunch of gasps around the Order.
Harry looked at the other members, smiled and took Draco's hand into his own. "Yeah, I guess we forgot to tell you that small detail. We defeated him. The prophecy was wrong, I didn't kill Voldemort, I had Draco with me and we did it together. If it wasn't for Draco I wouldn't have been able to do it." Said Harry looking over at Draco who smiled back at Harry.
"What happened?" Asked Lupin
"Well, it was the strangest thing. Voldemort stormed in because he found out about Draco and me, apparently he really has a problem with gays, maybe he's gay himself, who knows. Anyways, he demanded a real fight between him and me and he released me from my chains. I refused to fight him at first but then he got Lucius to threaten Draco and so I automatically reached for my wand and Voldemort and I fought. It wasn't a very long fight. He threw Crucio and I threw Imperio and they just deflected one another I guess because nothing happened. Then when I wasn't paying attention he threw Avada at me and I thought I'd died. It was then that I heard Draco's voice in my head telling me to keep fighting it but it hurt to fight it so I relax, accepting the pain and allowing Draco's voice to sooth the pain away and it worked. But the thing is, it didn't just deflect the spell, it did something to Lucius and he was gone leaving a puff of smoke behind and Draco's chains had disappeared. Oh yeah, I had my new wand with me and Draco came up and we held the wand together and some gold power flew out and hit Voldemort."
Many of the members were staring wide eyed at the Griffindor. Some smiling and some gawking at his power.
"Oh yeah, and right before he was gone I saw something. I saw something in his expression, as if finally, he understood the power of love." Said Harry turning to Dumbledore, "He understands."
Dumbledore smiled back at Harry. "You did well my dear boy. Much better than anticipated."
Harry shook his head and held up his hand which was had his fingers entangled with Draco's. "WE did it sir, WE did better than anticipated, WE did well."
Dumbledore smiled at Harry. "Yes, yes, old man's mistake. My most humble apologies."
Draco nodded in accepting Dumbledore's apology.
