Chapter Four: A Total Surprise
Remus stood there a moment, seemingly collecting his thoughts, from those he'd talked to about Draco's "disappearance" and how Lucius disowned him, he figured something like this. He leaned against the library wall, crossing his arms over his chest.
"What spell did you use to get here...?" Remus questioned in a sagely voice.
"The 'full party apparition', designed by the wizarding FBI to transport large numbers of wizards at a fast pace, when in trouble." Draco said flatly.
"Ah, yes... That was clever creation of theirs... Who is your partner?" Remus wondered.
"Uhhh..." Draco paused, seeming a bit nervous, "Kiria Nyght..."
"The Nyghts? Aren't they Death-Eaters?" Harry said, his voice sounding surprised.
"Yes, her parents are... But she, like me, was disowned by her parents for believing in you, Mr. Potter.." Draco frowned.
"Speaking of that, why, Draco, do you believe me?" Harry asked, he removed his glasses, screwing up his eyes a bit.
"In my sixth year, I finally heard my father discussing what happened to you in your fourth and fifth, as if he were there...." Draco said slowly, "I found that odd, but then I remember how you mentioned you saw him the night Cedric Diggory was killed... So I talked to him about it, he said he was there..."
Harry just watched Draco, this all confused Harry so much. It seemed as if Draco cared about Harry, this brought the strange connection they had that year to his mind.
"So, I told my dad about the letter I got at the end of my sixth year from the wizarding FBI and how they wanted me as an agent... He was furious and kicked me out of the house... He said that the wizarding FBI was for 'muggle, mudblood, and Potter lovers.'" Draco finished with a frown.
Hermione cringed a bit at the term 'mudblood', and she looked at Draco, her eyes intense. She took a deep breath and walked up to him, letting go of Neville's right arm, leaving Ron to handle Neville. He looked her up and down, to him she was different now, she was beautiful and he couldn't believe it was her. She had longer wavy ash brown, she was tall and her form was slim and curvaceous, he hated that he was noticing this about her.
"So, now you're back and you're different?" Hermione stared Draco in the eyes.
"Back, yes... Different, yes.... Deep down, I have changed and in appearance I look a bit different... But I can never change what I did to any of you." He looked from Hermione to Neville as he finished his words which did seem heartfelt.
"Do you have a lead unit, Draco?" Remus said breaking up the moment of flashback the three were most likely having.
"Ah, yes, that'd be Tom Gadden..." Draco said, still seeming distracted.
"A good wizard, Tom is..." Remus said in a proud tone.
"The last to our unit is Justin Finch-Fletchley, good wizard as well." Draco stated, quite proud of his call unit, which was on the Sect of Secrecy case.
"Oh, I remember Justin!" Harry said in one of those 'I-just-had-a- revelation' voices.
"Yeah, he joined my unit about a month ago..." Draco stated, "Good wizard he is..."
There was a long silence in the library, no one spoke, it was an absolute silence. Until there were three loud snaps. Fred, George, and Lee had apparated right into the library, in front of Draco, but facing Harry and Ron. All three grinned at the two, but the two did not grin in return, Ron pointed behind them and they turned now seeing Draco.
"What's this bloke doing here?" Lee asked seeming angry to see Draco of all people.
"Good question...." Fred and George stated in an angry unison.
"He's helping us with the Order...." Harry said, looking at them with a serious face.
"He's helping with the Order?" Fred wheeled around to face Harry, "Who of you is in the Order? What in the hell is going on...?"
"Remus, myself, Ginny, Ariadne, and Farrell...." Harry paused after pointing out Ariadne and Farrell, looking to Hermione, "And Hermione..."
