Chaper 5

Draco apperated with a big bang in front of where the meeting should have been. He saw two doors. One said Number 11, the other 13.He took out the address Hermione had given him, and just like Hermione had said, a door in between 11 and 13 appeared. He whispered a spell and the address burst into flames. He knocked on the door, and screaming arose from inside. The door was thrown open, he was dragged in, and the door was shut once more.

"FILTHY BLOOD TRAITOR! WORTHLESS SCUM!"

"Make yourself useful! Grab the other side," yelled Sirius. Draco grabbed the other curtain, and with the two males helping each other, they had the curtains pulled closed, and the screams of the woman died away. "So, I see you've met my mother."

"That woman is your mother?" asked Draco.

"Yup."

"Why don't you just take her portrait down?"

"We aren't that far yet. Besides, we think she's put a permanent sticking charm on the back."

"No, I didn't notice any permanent sticking charm on it. I've dealt with these dozens of times. I'll take care of it after the meeting if you want," Draco offered.

"Really? You could do that?" Sirius asked, a smile on his face.

"Yeah, it would be no problem!"

"SIRIUS BLACK, IT DOESN'T TAKE TAT LONG TO ANSWER THE DOOR!" yelled Mrs. Weasley.

"Well, we heard the woman. We'd better get in there before she does something to us." They began walking to the kitchen, Sirius in the lead, but Sirius stopped him. "Why are you here, anyways? How did you get this address? Are you here to spy on us for Voldemort?" questioned Sirius.

"No, I'm not here as a spy for Voldemort. I'm here for Hermione." Draco gestured for Sirius to lead on. Sirius entered the kitchen, and held the door open for Draco, who hesitated before entering. "Am I doing the right thing by being here?" he thought to himself. Upon seeing Hermione, he relaxed slightly. He conjured up a chair next to her and sat down. Hermione squeezed his hand gently and he relaxed somewhat more. Hermione was beaming with happiness that he had actually showed up.

"Mr. Malfoy, we're so glad you could join us," said Dumbledore. Whispers broke out all around the room, and other members cast nervous glances over at Draco.

"What is he doing here?" asked Ron.

"He is here at my request. If anyone has a problem with that, get up and leave," replied Dumbledore. The room stayed silent. "All right then. Are there any updates?"

"Well, I have found the next location of attack," said Hermione.

"Really? And where would that be?" asked Tonks. "Maybe we could send some people out to take care of it for you."

"Thanks, but no thanks," said Harry.

"Yeah. This assignment was given to us, and we want to kick some major death eater..." Ron didn't finish what he was going to say, because Ginny had kicked him in the leg, which caused him to swear anyways. "God, Ginny! What was that for?" Ginny didn't say anything, but Ron quickly glanced at Draco and knew what Ginny meant.

"Hermione," Draco whispered. "Are you taking about the attacks the death eaters have been causing?"

"Yes, why?"

"When is the next attack, and who is it on?"

"It is tomorrow at 5 p.m. on Sean Majors. Why?"

"Gods," Draco whispered, lowering his head into his hands.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"Hermione, I've been a part of the torturings, and I'm supposed to be there tomorrow."

"You've been helping torture helpless muggles? How could you?" Hermione asked, betrayal shown clearly on her face.

"Hermione, I didn't want to? They made me. Do you know what it is like to be punished at the feet of Volemort?"

"They punished you?" Hermione asked quietly. Draco nodded.

"Hermione, is there something you want to share with the rest of the Order?" asked Snape.

"No," Hermione said quickly, and she started listening to the Order's conversation.

As the meeting finished up, they set a date for the next meeting. Everyone began filing out the kitchen door.

"It was nice seeing you, Draco. Hope to see you next week!" said Ginny, and she left the house.

"Hey Draco! Would you mind taking down that portrait before you leave?" Sirius asked.

"Sure." They pulled open the curtains, and the room filled with screams. Draco whipped out his wand, muttered a few spells, and as if in slow motion, the portrait slowly fell forward and toppled to the floor. The corners of the portrait bounced back up, and slowly, it was motionless on the floor. The room was silent for a moment, then Mrs. Black broke out in a round of yelling.

"YOU BLOODY TRAITOR!" she yelled. "HOW DARE MY OWN BLOOD DO THIS TO ME, YOU..." Sirius put a silencing charm on his mother's portrait and smiled.

"It's about time that bloody portrait came down." Sirius sighed. "Thank you, Draco."

"No problem," he said, smiling.

Hermione sighed. "I should get going. Bye Sirius, Draco." Hermone walked out the front door and was about to disapperate, when Draco came out the door behind her.

"What? I don't even get a goodbye?" he asked, a look of disappointment showing in his eyes.

"It's not safe to be standing out here. We could be spotted."

"Thel lets go back to your house for a minute." They both disapperated back to Hermione's house. To be more exact, they arrived in the hall that led to her bedroom. Hermione pulled off her cloak and hung it in her closet. Draco looked at her. Hermione was the same as she was four years ago, only she was a woman now. He loved the way her work robes fit her slender body so perfectly. He sighed. "I should probably get back to the manor before I am missed." He gave Hermione a soft goodnight kiss. All of a sudden, Draco pulled back.

"What's wrong?" Hermione asked, growing worried. Draco pulled up his shirt sleeve to reveal a very clear and black dark mark. He rubbed his burning skin, attempting to make the pain subside, but his attempt failed.

"I'm being called. I've got to go now." Draco prepared to disapperate, when Hermione called to him.

"Draco, do be careful. God only knows what could happen to you." Hermione was clearly worried.

"Me? Get in trouble? I don't think so." Draco disapperated. "What could go wrong?"
