Chapter 8: Searching the School.
Sirius ran right to Draco's room. "Sorry you two but one of the teachers has been attacked. Dumbledore wants Draco and Hermione to get the Prefects together and all students that have a thing against Professor Lupin or have showed loyal support to Voldemort are to be sent to the Great Hall. Harry, Remus will be fine. Bailey's very upset that something is going to happen to Abby and James right now so Albus has put you two in charge of watching them when Draco's done doing rounds. I don't care where you take them but I get the feeling they're important to the Order, and since they are my kids don't screw up." Sirius said walking into the room, and nearly shocked that Draco and Harry were actually doing homework, something he never did while at school.
"Okay, Harry I'll meet you hack here." Draco said kissing him and leaving with Sirius. Harry stopped working and ran to get his two cousins.
"Snape, Ablus needs you in the Great Hall. If you see Filch on the way he's needed also. There's been an attack." Sirius yelled while running up the stairs. Draco ran to the Slytherin common room very upset.
"May I have everyone's attention. I need everyone down here NOW!" Draco yelled up the stairs. Everyone knew nto to mess with Draco or any Malfoy for that matter when they were mad. "Which one of you gits poisoned Professor Lupin?" Draco looked around. "I find it hard to believe that in a whole house that hates him, and those who follow Voldemort that not one person did it. If no one fesses up that they did it or that they know who did it then I hve to walk all of you to the Great Hall to Dumbledore and I don't think Snape will be to happy about that. Now who poisoned Professor Lupin?" Draco yelled again.
The whole common room turned aroudn to face Millicent Bulstrode and a giggling Pansy Parkinson. "Come on Drakey you're not really mad at us. You hate him also." Pansy said sweetly walking up to Draco.
"Follow me." Draco said pushing them outside. "You two know nothing." Draco said signaling for Professor McGonagall to follow them.
"Draco I'll take them from here I suggest you go help Potter, his cousins are frantic, here you'll need these." Professor McGonagall said handing him two potions.
"Thanks professor, by the way these two actually confessed to going it so you can release the others." Draco said heading back down the hall.
Once inside his room Draco noticed what McGongall ment. James was punching the floor and Abby was crying into Harry's shoulder. "James you're suppose to stop when your hands bleed. Espically since you're mum is worried about you." Draco said taking the boys hand and healing the cuts. "Abby please stop your safe, your friends are safe, and Remus will be fine. We found the peopl who did it okay." Draco asked picking her up and wiping her tears away. "Here both of you are to take these." Draco said giving them both a vial of a calmness potion.
"Thank you." Harry said relieved when Abby and James calmed down.
"Why is everyone so freaked about them?" Draco asked helping Harry put both kids on his bed sicne they were sleeping.
Harry took a deep breath. "When they were born Dumbledore was looking for a secret keeper for the Order, and some of it's memebers. When he heard about what happened with Sirius and Bailey he thought the two kids would be the perfect canidates. He basically gave those two a death wish. They know everything about the order and the war. I mean everything the good and the bad, and from both sides. They hold the key to who wins in the end." Harry said laying on the couch in front of the fire.
"Damn. I don't know how they deal, I dont' think I'd be strong enough to deal with all that." Draco said laying on Harry.
"They don't everytime something happens they get like that. Voldemort know about them. He's seen them, and talked to them. He's also frightened by them. He know they'll be his downfall when we come face to face unless he can get his hands on them." Draco looked over at the two sleeping kids in his bed with a new perspective.
"Harry I think I know how to help them. There's this Drak Arts device, well not really Dark Arts but mostly dark wizards use it. Since you need to be voided of everything you love you put them in this orb thing, and the only one who can add to it or take the information out is the person with the password. It can't break or be opened otherwise. You can put any emotion or thought in that orb so it should work with worry or horror. See if Dumbledore and you know the word then those two wouldn't have to worry and you'd be able to know what Voldemort is talking about, and planning. My father has a couple if I told him that Blaise and I needed one I could give them to Abby and James." Draco said leaning on his elbow and looking up at Harry.
"Draco I think that's a great idea, but you need to take it up with Dumbledore, Bailey and Sirius." Harry said kissing Draco. Draco then watched as Harry feel asleep. Draco stayed up though to keep an eye on the kids, he knew Pansy wasn't that stupid but other Slytherins were.
Back in the Great Hall..........
"Albus, Severus, Draco has found who poisoned Remus. Parkinson and miss Bulstrode here have confessed." McGongall said entering the hall and walking straight to the Professors.
"Thank you Minerva. I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to expel you both. The ministry will be in touch with you for your hearings." Dumbledore said waving his wand. "Here's a portkey it will take you home your stuff will be sent to you." Then Dumbledore went to find Draco, being Head Boy he was the only one authorized to pack up and search the girls things for suspicious objects. Plus Draco knew about every Dark Arts tool. "Ah Draco just the person I was coming to see. Due to recent events you'll need to pack up miss Parkinson and miss Bulstrode's things to be sent home. They have been expelled." Albus said turning a corner.
"I will but before I go I wanted to talk to you about Abby and James. Harry told me about them and everything and I told Harry that there's this unbreakable, unopenable orb that you can feed certain emotions into like worry. See they put their current worries into the ord and it adds the worries they might have later on. THe only way to open it to see prophecies, dreams, and such is to know that person's password. See if you and harry knew then you could use the orbs as an upper hand in the battle. If it's lost or stolen it carbon copies it's self and goes back to whatever 'safe' location the person created. It's a Drak Arts object, but I figured if I told me dad that Blaise and I needed one I could get two for Abby and James." Draco said looking Dumbledore in the eyes.
"That's a great idea Mr. Malfoy. I'm glad to see your on our side." Dumbledore shook Draco's hand and left.
