Chapter 28… and I think I forgot to mention that even less of this belongs to me than w/a normal fanfiction, considering im just changing things…
Thanks to reviewers WildTotodile and SaSush33, this story's first two reviews…
Draco rounded the corner and heard Potter yell the password to Dumbledore's office. There was only one problem; he had no idea where the entrance was. Stopping in front of a stone gargoyle, Draco said "toffee éclair?" and jumped as the gargoyle moved aside, showing a revolving staircase. Draco rolled his eyes; that makes sense, he thought as he realized the gargoyle was shaped like a griffin.
Taking a relaxing breath, Draco entered the staircase and knocked on the door. "Potter, it's me. Let me in."
"Say the password, first."
"Don't play games with me, Potter."
"Say it, Malfoy."
"You even know it's me. Now let me in before I break down this door."
"You can't, it's magically enhanced so it can't be broken down."
"You're an ass Potter."
"I think that's nicest thing you've ever said to me."
"Open the damn door Potter."
"Fine," the door opened to reveal a circular room. Draco looked around and saw rare, silver magical tools dotting the tables. The portraits of past headmasters and mistresses were sleeping peacefully in their frames. He could see the stand where Dumbledore's phoenix normally sat and the sorting hat on its shelf behind a large, oak desk. "I put Professor Dumbledore upstairs. I was just about to call Madam Promfey." Draco jumped, he had forgotten during his survey of the room that Potter was even there.
"Alright, get to it then." Malfoy could hear the Gryffindor roll his eyes as he took some powder from the bowl near the fireplace and threw it in. He took a seat in one of the chairs in front of the headmaster's desk and waited.
"Madam Promfey?" There was a pause.
"I'm in the headmaster's office, he's hurt." Another pause.
"He's in his bedchamber, I---" Yet another pause.
"See you in a bit then," Harry took his head out of the first place and shook the soot from his hair. "She said she'd be here in a minute, she just needed to finish up with Bill Weasley. Apparently your friend Greyback attacked him. At least he won't be a full werewolf though, since it's not the full moon."
"First off, Greyback was not here on my invitation. He snuck in with the other death eaters. Second, why would I care what happened to any Weasley? And third, I need to find a way back up to the astronomy tower before one of the other death eaters or Snape does."
"Why? We got Professor Dumbledore here didn't we? And why would I let you leave now? You might bring a death eater up here and leave me and Professor Dumbledore for dead. And why would you care if Snape found them?"
"Potter, you're really dense, you know that? I wouldn't have saved your ass if I was just going to let it die now. I need to go back to the astronomy tower to obliviate the death eaters I bound because otherwise they'll know I saved Dumbledore and turned on the Dark Lord. I'm already on a death threat for myself and my family; I don't need him thinking I went traitor on him. And Snape isn't working for Dumbledore. I know you all think he is, but he isn't."
"He's part of the Order, has been for ages—"
"This is war, Potter. He's playing double agent. I need to find a way to make it look like I did what I was supposed to. I need to get back to the astronomy tower. You wait here for Madam Promfey and help her with Dumbledore. I'll do what I need to do."
"Wait, before you go," Harry ran up the stairs and came back a minute later with his cloak. "Take this, but be careful with it. It'll get you back to the astronomy tower unseen. If on your way back to the tower, Hermione stops you, don't be alarmed, I'm going to get a hold of her."
"You guys still have those coins, don't you?"
"Of course we do."
"That Granger is too smart for her own good."
"You don't have to live with her."
Well, that's part one of chapter 28… so actually, there will probably be about 5 more chapters after this, cuz im going to break 28-30 into 2 parts each.
