Yesterday I was dirty

Wanted to be pretty

I know now that I'm forever dirt,

We are nobodies Want to be some-bodies

We're dead and know just who we are

Marilyn Manson- The nobodies

Chapter 5 - Nobodies

"Alastor?" Minerva asked the cold night air.

"Yeah?" She couldn't see where the reply came from but she guessed he was near the door.

"I don't think we should tell the order our plan Alastor."

"And why not?" She still couldn't see him, but she could feel his magical eye staring right through her body.

"Not all of them are very good actors. And I'm sure Albus would notice something... but if they don't know then there is nothing to suspect. You can tell them after, but before hand probably wouldn't be the best idea." Her eyes adjusted to the dim light and she found herself looking at Molly and the children.

"Smart... ok once you're gone I'll tell them the plan."

"You seem more approving now."

"Nope I just know I can't stop you. No point wasting energy." He let of one of his rare smiles before his face turned emotionless again. Dawn came slowly. Molly awoke just before the sun managed to hit her eyes. She looked around; maybe she had expected it all to be a nightmare.

"Good morning Alastor. Is Minerva back yet?" Molly was trying to be cheery as always.

"She's on the window sill." And indeed she was, bathed in the orange glow of the sun-rise. Her long hair spilling down her back, her head rested against the bars now placed there. Her back curved lightly.

"Don't wake her; she didn't sleep much last night."

"I wonder what she's thinking. This must so hard for her, harder then anything I could be feeling now." Molly mumbled from Alastor's shoulder.

"Why do say that?"

"She loved him; we all loved him in someway. As a friend, teacher, mentor and a boss. She loved him as all four and so much more. I saw it in her eyes when she looked at him. The affection there, the loyalty. She loved him more then words can say. And he's just ripped her heart out and thrown it away. Yet she doesn't cry she try's so hard to be strong, for her children. For her friends. We can't let her do it alone we have to be there for her." She was crying again.

"Mom?" Ron moaned as he woke up.

"Yes darling?" Molly answered.

"Nothing... Harry, Harry wake up!" Ron punched Harry in the arm lightly.

"What is it?"

"The aliens have come to take you away." Ron answered; Harry opened his eyes at this.

"Very funny."

"McGonagall's back." Ron blurted out trying to make conversation.

"Good." Harry replied closing his eyes again. He couldn't get to sleep though. And Tonks was up now so she was making as much noise as humanly possible. Ever one was awake now, even Snape who was sitting alone in a corner. Arthur was pacing about trying to look happy while Tonks was rummaging in the cupboards.

"How can she sleep through that noise?" Snape moaned as Tonks started to move the boxes around.

"She isn't really asleep. Knowing her she just has her eyes closed. I'll see..." Alastor snarled.

"Planning on getting up today?" Alastor's voice boomed inside Minerva's head.

"Get out of my head Alastor." Minerva transmitted back to his head. They had always enjoyed having Telepathic powers. Always very helpful. Moody got up and walked over to Minerva lazily. He turned and sank on the window sill in front of her.

"Thirsty?" She nodded. He handed her his flask she drank a little bit from it. She opened her eyes and looked at him.

"Don't expect any special treatment like that again!" He barked doing his flask back up.

"I wouldn't dream of it." She looked around the room, her eyes feel upon Tonks.

"What is she doing?"

"Digging for freedom!" Tonks muffled voice came.

"I don't think that will work some how." The cold voice came from the doorway. They all whirled around to see Albus standing there in robes of deep purple. He stalked into the room unhurriedly, his eyes stabbing into Minerva. He came to the window and looked at Alastor.

"Well move them." He snapped. Alastor growled a bit but did as he was told, Albus sat down gracefully. His lips finding Minerva's neck as his hands caressed her waist tenderly, before moving up her body leisurely.

"I missed you last night." He whispered into her ear, his breath cold and sharp.

"Why did you send me that dream?"

"Oh you did see it. That my love, my passion was my vision that is what will happen in but 12 years time if we don't stop it." Albus answered loudly.

"And what if your visions are a lie?" Minerva implied. Albus just shrugged.

"We all want to be somebody Minerva and the minute we are nobodies this would turn us into someone. This is your chance, our chance. Join me now!" Albus said forcefully. Minerva just looked at him.

"I'm a no-body?" Albus nodded.

"Join me Minerva, be mine." He smiled almost evilly. "Will you join me?"

"She'll never join you!" Arthur snapped from the other side of the room.

"Let her answer!" Albus growled dangerously.

"I want to be some-body Albus I want to be something, something people remember...Yes." Minerva answered finally.
