A.N.- See bottom.
CHAPTER SEVEN-DUMBLEDORE'S TRUTH"Malfoy? Explain this!" I exclaimed, barging into Malfoy's room without knocking, holding up a note that read 'today is the day.' "This doesn't look like something you would write."
"Oh Granger. Can't you put one and one together and figure it out? You're supposed to be smart."
"Oh grow up Malfoy and tell me. Is today the day that you're finally going to tell me what this is all about? Like who are you taking orders from?"
"First things first, I take orders from no one. I am my own boss-"
"Apparently not," interrupted Hermione, laughing.
He just pretended to not have heard her sardonic comment, and continued what he was saying before. "And secondly, obviously. What did you think? Today was the day that I was going to brink you back? What a laugh! And about that not being my handwriting, you're right. It's not. It's Dumbledore's."
"Dumbledore? Why would he be writing to you?"
"Because Draco here has joined us. He is a member of the Order of the Phoenix," said Dumbledore, coming up from nowhere.

"Where would Malfoy Manor be?" asked Harry. He, Ron and Ginny were in the library, looking for clues as to where to find Hermione. The last place that she was seen was the library.
"Why?" asked Ginny, not looking up from her Advanced Potions text book, hoping for a sign as to where Hermione was. This was one of the Advanced Potions textbooks of the library, and she had come there to do her Potions homework.
"Well Malfoy's missing too! He would have taken her to the Manor."
"Naw. He's not an idiot. Malfoy knows that that's the first place to look."
"Well maybe he knew that we would think that, so he put her in the most obvious spot in the world, knowing that we would be looking for a complicated place?" suggested Ron. Harry and Ginny looked at him like he was insane.

"Professor? What… What are you doing here?"
"I came here to explain everything to you. But perhaps Draco would like to explain his side of the story, am I right Mr. Malfoy?"
"Well after my father was sent to Azkaban, I felt like I was on a road to nowhere. I knew that I was going to be initiated into the Death Eaters soon. I saw what had happened to my father, and even though he would be escaping soon, because there were no dementors, I still didn't want the same fate as him. I couldn't see myself taking orders from someone who would kill me without a blink of an eye or a second's thought." He couldn't believe that he was pouring out his heart to the Mudblood.
"Dumbledore seemed to know that I would need his help. So he came to me, and said that I didn't have to do that. Become a death eater, I mean. So I joined the order, and well. Dumbledore can continue the rest for you. Or I can. Whatever. Granger, we were talking about you the other day in the library. This entire thing was a setup to get you here. I…"
He paused. He couldn't believe that he was asking for help from Granger. Of all people! "I need your help."
A.N- Well there we go. Chapter seven! I would just like to apologize for a few things such as:
The lack of development in the plot until now. Before, I had to use dumb, pointless comedy and humor to take up time and to entertain you. My friend who is helping me with the story said that two chapters ago was WAY too early to spring up the plot.
The ongoing switching between Harry/Ron/Ginny and Hermione/Draco. Sorry if I'm confusing you!
The REALLY short chapters. I promise that they'll be getting longer, as now I'll have a lot more to report on. KEEP READING!
Now I would like to thank my four, amazing reviewers: DcoD, phoenixtamer150, High Low and WindWriter17.
DcoD- This really isn't supposed to be a funny story! When the actual plot starts to formulate, there WILL be some funny moments, but now it's mostly now…erm…hard work and confusion on THEIR part (as well as mine, but don't let anyone know that I'm putting any effort into this. :.:smiles:.)
