Draco Malfoy

Draco sat stiffly in the headmasters' office. He didn't know what was happening, Not at all. He had woken up, or to be more precise Albus Dumbledore had enervated him awake in the headmasters' office.

It had been startling to say the least to awaken in the Headmasters' office. Once he had seen Severus raise his wand and utter those words he had assumed that he would wake up at home, or, he shuddered to think it, in front of The Dark Lord.

Now he waited for Dumbledore to explain what, exactly was going on.

"Draco, would you like a lemon drop? There a muggle candy that i'm particularly fond of."

Draco was caught off guard. This man was crazy. This was no time for pleasantries.

"No," he came right to the point," Could you please tell me what i'm doing here?"

Dumbledore frowned for just a moment

"Just one moment, Draco" he said with an air of someone who was not to be messed with. He no longer had that twinkle that he had a moment before.

Draco waited. And waited and waited. After what seemed like hours, it had really only been ten minutes, Draco spoke up again.

" Headmaster, I would be indebted if you would please tell me what's going on here. The last thing I remember is talking to Severus, I mean professor Snape." He quickly covered, "Then I think he stunned me. I wasn't expecting to wake up here of all places. So, again, could you please tell me what i'm doing here?"

Dumbledore frowned again.

"You really must try these lemon drops."

Draco could see that it wasn't a request but rather an order. He took one of the candies and plopped it into his mouth. It had a rather bitter taste to it.

"Thank you" Draco said.

Dumbledore had the twinkle back in his eye. "Your welcome dear boy, your welcome."

"Now, down to business..."

After about an hour of discussion Dumbledore was assured of his earlier assumptions of Dracos' character. He knew that he had been correct. Just as he had been correct with Severus.

"Now Draco, do you understand what you're doing, and what it entails? You will be putting your self at great risk and I may not be able to protect you.

Draco nodded numbly. He was ready come what may.

"Then I need you to sign your name on this parchment"

He handed Draco a piece of worn parchment. It looked like it was about to fall apart. He looked questioningly at Dumbledore. "What an I supposed to do with it?" he asked.

"Well sign it obviously." Dumbledore smiled. He pulled out a small black box. "Now I must ask one small thing of you. I need you to sign the parchment with the quill in this box. I have to warn you though this quill doesn't use ink, it uses your blood. Normally I would never resort to such means but with something of this magnitude I must be sure that you are indeed Draco Malfoy. Are you prepared to join the Order Of The Phoenix? If so please sign."

Draco took the pen from the box and signed his name. He gasped as he saw his name appear cut on the back of his hand. Draco Malfoy. Appeared on crimson read letters on the parchment.

He had now completely severed all ties with his old life. He had now joined the Order Of The Phoenix.

Just then the door to the headmasters office opened with a slam. "Albus, it was Julia..." Severus stopped when he saw Draco and the parchment. " Albus, what have you done?"

Julia was floating in the darkness again. She was at peace. She felt nothing, no pain, and no anguish. Julia knew she would have to wake up soon. They were calling

Not far away from the headmasters chambers a different scene was playing itself out.

"What's wrong with her Poppy?" Remus Lupin asked the medi-witch. His face was haggard and his robes fraying. Truth be told this man wouldn't be allowed in many magical social circles, too many people were afraid of him and his kind. They were afraid of werewolves.

Remus Lupin was also Julia's godfather. It had been a bit of a joke between the infamous gang of pranksters known as the marauders. Just an inside joke, that joke had turned into something more though when Lily and James Potter had twins. The joke or rather promise had been that the first one to have children would name as godfather the first marauder that they had become friends with and so on and so forth. James had been the first, and regretfully, the only marauder to have children. When all was said and done James had named Sirius Harrys' godfather since Harry was born first. Remus was named Julia's godfather. It had all followed in the order that the men had met.

Remus remembered that moment quite vividly:

It had been on the first train ride to Hogwarts that three of the four Marauders had first met.

Remus had been sitting alone in an empty compartment when the door was thrown open and two boys had barged in and plopped unceremoniously in the seats opposite from Remus.

"Hello, i'm James Potter and this is your lucky day!" the raven-haired boy across from Remus said.

Remus was already tired of them and their antics, couldn't they see he was trying to read? Remus tried to ignore them but to no avail.

"Don't you want to know why it's your lucky day?" the black haired boy next to James said.

"No, not really."

"Well i'm going to tell you anyways, i'm Sirius by the way, Sirius Black. Today's your lucky day because we've decided to be your friends."

Remus looked across at them. What game were these two playing? You don't just come up to a person and announce that you're friends; that's not how it's done. Well Remus didn't really know how one went about making friends. He had never had a real friend.

"Are you both crazy?" Remus asked flabbergasted.

"Well we would need a second opinion on that, tell us are we?" James asked with as much seriousness as he could muster.

Remus couldn't help it he smiled.

Remus Lupin looked down on his goddaughter.

Julia's face was so pale it was almost translucent and her lips and eyes were blue rimmed. She looked like she was frozen or close to it.

"I don't know what's wrong with her yet Remus. We haven't had any cases like this at Hogwarts in years. The only case that's even remotely close is Saris.'

"Saris." Remus wispered, he remembered.

Madam Pomfrey patted Remus' arm consolingly. "The only thing we can do now is pray."

Julia shivered in her sleep. She was so cold.

Many miles away the dementors were in disarray. There was mass uproar. Lord Voldemort had betrayed them. They had created a human patronus.

AN: To all of my reviewers Thank you for Reviewing.

About this chapter, yes I know that this chapter is in a bit of disarray but thats what I was going for. Does this make the story ( I don't know how to say this any other way) less good?

well ta!
