Chapter 10

"Now girl," Voldemort said to her, "Tell me everything." And she did.

Or rather Necant did, he used her mouth but he was in control, he told Voldemort everything about the Order, its plans, its members, and its location. Hermione was not the secret keeper but the information was still valuable to Voldemort.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Over the next few weeks it became clear that there was a spy in the Order, five key members had been killed.

Dumbledore paced his study, there was only one way to figure out who the spy was, a truth spell.

Just then Professor Mcgonagall walked into the room. Dumbledore turned and hit her with a truth spell before she had time to react.

"Are you the spy?" He asked her.

"No."

Dumbledore had expected this and he quickly undid the spell.

"I'm sorry Minerva but this spy is in our inner ranks I have to test everybody.

"Understood, so how many members have you checked so far?"

Dumbledore sighed, "You're the first, do you think you could get all the members to come to the headquarters tomorrow. We need to find the spy, and fast."

"What about Potter and friends?" Mcgonagall asked.

"Let them be, they don't need to be there." Dumbledore replied.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dumbledore had tested all of the members, none of them were the spy. He now sat with some of the more important members trying to decide what to do. Every other spy method had some fault however, only a person in the Order could have passed the information.

"You sure you got everybody?" Mr. Weasley asked.

"Yes," Dumbledore said, "Everybody but Harry, Ron, and Hermione."

"No, you don't think?" Hagrid voiced.

"I don't know what to think, the only way Voldemort could be getting his information is through a person in the Order, there're the only ones we haven't tested, I don't think we have a choice."

"Should any of us be there?" Sirius asked.

"Yes, Sirius, Lupin, and Mcgonagall, you come with me, the rest of you stay here."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Harry, Ron, and Hermione were sitting in the Gryffindor common room when the door swung open and Professor Mcgonagall entered, she waved them over and said, "You three come with me, the headmaster wants to see you."

They followed her out the door, they would have asked her questions but something about her manner told them not to.

She stopped them at the doorway to Dumbledore's office, "One at a time, Harry you come first."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dumbledore watched Harry come in, he tested him and found him innocent.

"What was that about?" Harry asked.

"There is a spy in the Order, you three are the last to be tested, we just wanted to make sure you weren't a fraud that Voldemort put in our way so we wouldn't notice you were missing." Dumbledore explained.

He repeated the process with Ron and then Hermione came up the stairs. Everyone was looking at her and they were all tense.

"What do you want?" Necant said through her.

Just then a truth spell hit her in chest.

"Are you the spy?" Dumbledore asked.

Necant might have been able to resist the truth spell, but Hermione fought to say yes. She wanted them to know it was she who was endangering their lives even if it meant they would kill her and think she was evil. Necant was unable to resist the power of both the spell and Hermione and he spat the words out of her mouth.

"Yes I am."

Wands were raised and all around her people were preparing to attack. Necant growled in her mind, 'Now look what you've done, Voldemort will make you pay.'

Then out loud he said through her "Such a pity and I was helping Voldemort so much. He will not be pleased to hear of this but the news must get to him somehow so I think I'll just be going."

Dumbledore faced her, "Hermione," His voice sounded sad, "Do you think we would let you leave." He was taken aback when she started laughing.

"Let me leave, that's a good one, you can't exactly stop me." She said as she threw herself out the window.

Harry and Ron were closest to the window so they made it there first. Peering over the edge they say nothing. Then Harry remembered what she was and looked up. Sure enough clinging to the wall above them was Hermione's vampire form.

"Hello Harry." She said before letting go and falling past them. As she fell she grabbed Harry and pulled him out with her.

By this time the others had reached the window, Sirius lunged for Harry but missed, Hermione hit the ground and ran into the forest with greater speed then a normal human, dragging an unconscious Harry along behind her.

"How did she do that?" Mcgonagall asked.

"I don't know." Dumbledore replied, they all stared at each other in silence trying to understand what had happened.

"I can answer that." Ron's somewhat squeaky voice broke the silence.

They turned to look at him as Ron began to explain what Hermione was.
