Chapter 2
Ella held the now completely in pain boy, she barely knew him but felt the pull even more since the boy was hurt. Draco fell asleep with his head in Ella's lap, they been in this room for a couple days now... Ella lost count and their meals would be bought in by Lucius- but he wouldn't even talk to them. And for those days it poured outside non-stop just over the castle, the storm unnatural and called by the emotions of the young weather witch.
Draco was feverish thru the days as they turned to weeks and then months... but still she wouldn't talk. Not until one morning Voldemort came back to talk, Draco was now laying on the bed, and Ella sitting at his side. Ella stood and walked over to the devil himself, "You know we will never tell you..." Voldemort smiled, "You don't have to granddaughter, the Order is back at the school- where both of you will be heading."
Ella stood calmly, "We will never do what you say!" She looked at Draco, "Plus Draco is in serious pain." Voldemort looked at the small boy on the bed, "You go to that school and we will fix the boy." Ella put up her arms around herself, "Fine, whatever." She said not meaning it but she needed to get Draco looked at. Voldemort waved his hand and a few Deatheaters came into the room, and soon enough he was better and sitting up. Draco looked at them, "And what are we to do there?" Voldemort went for the door, finally opening it and leaving it open, "I want you to take down the Order." He said as he left the room, Ella stood shock- not only because of his request but also the word granddaughter struck hard finally.
Draco looked at Ella, "Your his granddaughter?" He looked shocked, "I didn't know he had a family." Ella's body slipped down to the ground, "I don't believe anything he says." She said it finally hit her, why her grandmother was alone and always talking about the one she loved that left and everything...
Hogwarts was 3 months into the term, since it took McGonagall, Snape, and Hagrid a month to help put together the school after the attack. Several teachers didn't even make it; Dumbledore, Sirius, and Lupin saved them that day. The fifth year would be hard to do with the amount of teachers, but most of the order decided to help out with a few classes. Lupin was to take Defense of the Dark Arts, Snape had Potions, McGonagall has her normal class, and Hagrid took care of the magical creatures... Sirius took the flying class, and making Hermione and Harry junior teachers- Hermione took Herbology and Harry took Charms. And of course Professor Binns was still there teaching History of Magic.
Ella and Draco were taken to the school by Lucius, which still looked mad at his son. "Now hear me Draco, I hear anything about you and this girl being a couple again- I will come here and take you out of Hogwarts... And the thing about the Owls is still going.
Draco just made a face and the car stopped in front of Hogwarts and their trunks were put just outside the car. "Now get out!" His father yelled, Draco and Ella left the car and with their trunks started to climb the hill to the school. They watched as kids started to gather around them. Since they disappeared about 4 months ago from Dumbledore's gasp.
The trio ran up to them, "Draco, Ella... we were worried about you." Harry replied, "Like bloody hell you were Potter, we just went back to my castle." Ron looked at Draco, "Did you two tell anyone about you know." Draco looked at Ron, "Of course not, why should we care about what you guys are doing." Ella nodded. "We are just here to learn." Ella was trying to put up a wall between her old friends. But her heart was hurting, she liked them a lot- but she feared that they would judge her.
"So did you hear that the attack on the school and the train attack was connected to a car being attacked about 4 months ago... funny that was the same time you left." Hermione commented.
Ella nodded, "We know about the attack, all to well." Draco looked at Ella, she sighed- "I can't do this Draco- and neither can you." Draco nodded and let her tell them his father, and everyone's plan.
"So Voldemort wants you to take us down, what is he fearing...?" Ella just shook he head at Harry's comment. "Well Dumbledore will want to talk to you plus we do need to know what house your in." Ella, Draco, and the others hurried up to the castle.
Dumbledore was sitting at the dinning room at this time, since his office was still being put together. "I see that the transfer student and Draco arrived. How are you children?"
