Dumbledore's Plan
Now that all members of the Order and DA were seated at the table Dumbledore began explaining the situation. He explained to both teams about what Harry and Draco had told him.
"I don't know exactly how we are going to do this but no one will be able to kill Voldermort", several people winced at the name, "except Harry and Draco. If anyone does attack him they will most probably die" he looked at the two boys.
"Boys, I must ask you not to reveal anything of the love I told you about except what you have already told everyone here", they nodded, "now to the plan" he said. In case of attack Dumbledore had seated two Aurors at either end of Grimmauld Place and was to be alerted by red sparks if there was an attack.
"Now those who have children in DA, you shouldn't worry they have been trained by the best of their year and I believe will be able to defend themselves when the Death Eaters attack tomorrow. Tomorrow will be Valentines Day as explained before. You will all be assembled in places. Students will be at Hogsmeade along with some of the Order and the rest of the Order will be situated at Hogwarts in the secret passages located around the school. However I would like to place Ron, Hermione, Nevile, Luna and Ginny in the school in the hospital wing. They will appear ill if any students do enter but that will be only because of Weasley Wizard Wheezers treats", he said smiling at the twins.
"Now that's the basic plan, I would like DA except for the five I just mentioned to go back to school and act like nothing has happened and be ready I will send word by owl where I would like you to be", he said smiling as ten students walked out of the room and back to the fire place.
The rest of the room was quiet until Dumbledore broke it.
"Now that we have them pretty much sorted let's discuss where you all will be. You five", he said pointing at the remainder of DA "will be in the hospital wing as mentioned. Luna and Ginny at my signal of red sparks I would like you two to go down to the dungeons right away. The Slytherin password is 'Hagrid's a numbwit' if I remember correctly", Draco nodded, "so you two will enter and take care of the little ones and any other Slytherin there. Only stunning them so you can knock them out for a couple of hours. Nevile and Ron, you will take care of any wondering Slytherins around the castle. Hermione you have the hardest part of all", Ron looked at him, "you know the exit to the secret passageway to the sweet shop?" he asked her and she nodded.
"Good. Now Pansy is the most powerful Slytherin of the year so you will be up for a big battle. When and if you beat her go through it and half way you'll meet Harry, Draco", he said and turned to the pair "I don't expect Voldermort to be there but just in case be prepared for a fight", he said.
They nodded. Ron however looked at Hermione. They exchanged weird glances and then nodded.
"Um, professor, we, I mean Ron and I have a confession to make", she said.
"Since the start of this year, we've been going out" she confessed.
Mrs Weasley glanced at her youngest son and then Hermione and burst out in tears. Mr Weasley put a comforting arm around her saying that it's alright that they will survive.
"Mrs Weasley. As long as everyone has faith, WE will make it through to the end", Hermione said.
"Yes Mrs Weasley, Hermione's right. We must have faith in each other and we can do it. Now we got them pretty much sorted out. Members of the Order of the Phoenix we all know what the orders were last time so it's pretty much the same. Except that I would like two of you at the lake in case they get any smart ideas. We don't know who will attack tomorrow. For all we know we might get attacked by the giant squid which I highly doubt. Now I believe that we all need our rest. You seven will come back with me now and everyone else stays here. Goodnight all and good luck for tomorrow" Dumbledore said.
He let the students say there final goodbyes to their parents and other members of the Order. Sirius pulled Harry into a bigger hug than before and only let go when Dumbledore told him Harry was choking to death and that Voldermort wouldn't have to do anything. They arrived back at the office. Dumbledore told the five members to go to the hospital wing now and handed them the sweets. Hermione and Ron turned to Harry.
"Harry we're sorry. We can see that he's an ok guy", Hermione said.
"Thanks, 'Mione. Why didn't you tell me about your relationship" he said glaring at them again.
"With you gone most of the time we figured that you were better off not to worry about it and that you had your own problems to figure out" Hermione answered.
Ron suddenly turned to Draco and glared.
"If you kill or hurt him in any way, I will personally se that you are killed" Ron said and Draco smirked.
"If I was going to do that I would have killed him when I found out he was listening to the meeting", he said.
They laughed at Ginny and Nevile who frowned.
"Good luck with tomorrow", Luna said dreamily at the couples before exiting through the door and to the hospital wing. Harry and Draco suddenly found them surrounded by hugs and tears. Nevile and Draco shook hands though glared at each other nonetheless.
"Now children, you four head to the hospital wing and remember only when you see red sparks" he said turning to Ron, Hermione, Nevile and Ginny who exited with their pocket full of sweets.
"Boys are you ready. This is going to be the toughest challenge you will face in your life. Don't have doubt each other and anyone else you will be able to make it through this and lead us to victory", Dumbledore smiled at the pair.
"Good. Take these with you sleeping potions with you. Go to the Room of Requirement and you can stay there the night. It's only safe for both of you if you are together", Dumbledore said.
"I wish you both luck for tomorrow and remember stick to the plan. Go to the sweet shop but only go halfway down the passageway until Hermione comes to meet you. If she doesn't then stay exactly where you are. Be alert at any noises", he said and they nodded.
"Now off to bed with you", he said pushing them out the door.
They walked silently to the seventh floor and through the corridor were they found the Room of Requirement waiting for them with a king size bed and a pair of pyjamas each. They slipped on the pyjamas and slid into the bed quietly. They stared at each looking at the features of their faces before Draco grinned.
"You know how you stood up to them before. I thought you were really brave", he said making Harry blush and pulling him into a kiss. An hour later they lay in bed in silence then Harry broke it.
"Drake, do you think we'll win", he asked.
"They'll never beat us just as long as we're together now go to sleep", he said smiling and closed his eyes.
