A/N: OMG…I am soooooo sorry for the long delay in updating. Life has been soooo busy for me, and it has been soooo hard to find a time to update. Anyways, enough about me. I'll get to the story.

Reviewers: I'd like to thank DramaQueen007, Smiles28, BlondieBabieGurl, buffy the slayer, and Lady-Delphinea. I'd do personal thank you's, but this will probably be the only time I have to post, and I wanna update now.

Disclaimer: None of the characters except those you don't recognize aren't mine.

Chapter Six

The sun filtered through the window of the medium-sized house. A light breeze played with the curtains that covered the opened window. Hermione's eyes fluttered open and automatically darted to look at her alarm clock.

"8:30 a.m.!" it seemed to be screaming at her. She needed to be at work by 9:30, and she normally woke up at 7:30 to be on time to work.

Hermione bolted out of bed and began picking out work robes. She laid the robes she picked out and a cloak on her messy bed and rushed into the bathroom adjoining her bedroom and took a quick shower. After getting dressed and eating a quick breakfast, it was 9:25. She quickly disapperated to the aurors office.

!BANG!

Several aurors jumped up and shouted curses, jinxes, and hexes at the intruder.

"Stop! Its just Hermione!" shouted Tonks, clearing away the aurors around Hermione.

What a sight Hermione was. She had brown fur growing from her skin, and, to the horror of all, had sprouted a tail.

"So much for trying to get here on time," she said to Tonks. "I'll be back as soon as I can."

"Be back before three!" shouted Tonks before Hermione disapperated.

Tonks turned around and looked at all the aurors. Those who had thrown the spells grinned sheepishly.

"I hop eyou are all satisfied with your handiwork!" she shouted at them before storming into her office and slamming the door.

"Well, Miss Granger, you are free to go!" Said the head nurse. Hermione walked out of the ward and into the waiting room She rubbed her hands over her face, glad that her tail and the fur on her face was gone. She quickly disapperated back to the aurors office, but instead of appearing in the office, she came to just outside of it. She opened the door and quickly walked to her desk, where she found flowers, cards, and chocolate. She opened the first card, and the second, and all the rest until there was only one left. All up until then had had some type of apology. She opened up the last letter, which bore the Hogwarts crest.

Miss Granger

Meet me in my office as soon as you can. It concerns your current assignment you are working on for the ministry. Come by floo.

Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore

"Great! Heaven forbid I stay at work for half an hour!" Hermione went to inform Tonks of where she was going.

"Go ahead, and see what Dumbledore wants. Just be back by three. You three will need to prepare before you leave." Hermione nodded, and exiting the office, she ran into Harry and Ron.

"Hermione, look at this!" squealed Ron. She did as Ron asked, and saw a moving picture of her with fur and a tail. Ron was laughing uncontrollably. Harry, who was slightly nicer, was at least trying to hide his laughter.

Hermione snatched the picture away from Ron. "I'll keep that!" Hermione said smugly, and quickly left to go to the atrium.

About five minutes later she arrived in the atrium. She headed to the nearest fireplace. She said "Albus Dumbledore's office" and tripped she was caught in mid-air as she spun around through the network, and when she finally stopped, she fell out of the fireplace and flat onto her face.

"What a way to make an entrance," said a smooth masculine voice. Hermione looked up and found a hand offered to her. She took it, and the strong arm pulled her up and pulled her towards him. She looked up and found herself in the arms of Draco. "I've missed you so much," he whispered in her ear, then looked into her eyes. Their faces slowly grew closer and closer. Hermione felt her head tilt back and her eyes began to close.

"Ahem," coughed the elder man as he entered the room." Have I come at a bad moment?"

Hermione pushed Draco away from her. "Nope."

"Good." Dumbledore came up to his desk and sat down. Hermione and ddraco both conjured their own chairs and sat down across from Dumbledore.Draco's chair was rather like the poufy arm chairs Dumbledore conjured, while hermione's was rather like the ones Professor McGonnagal conjured. "You both have been called here today by myself because I believe you two will be meeting later today around five p.m." Hermione and Draco both nodded their heads, glancing over at the other before looking back. "You two must not be suspicious. You must not be suspected. You two must act like you are on opposite sides. Are we all in agreement?" Hermione and Draco nodded once more. "Okay. Here's the plan."
