2.Capturing a Weasel

Gaara woke the next morning to find an owl pecking at her head. In it's beak was a note from Bella and Draco, alond with the Daily Prophet. Gaara paid the bird and took the note.

Meet me and Draco at the waterfall before 6 'oclock. There are some things we need to discuss. -Bella

Gaara dressed quickly, then grabbed her satchel (it was a one strap small, oval backpack in black. Gaara caried her backup wand, a dagger, a notepad and quil, and a scroll of pinnacles for summoning.) and walked out the door. She exited the headquarters and appearated to the hidden waterfall.

"What is it Bella," Gaara snarled.

"Well, aren't you in a bad mood today. Draco has some information. Don't you dear?" Bella replied sweetly.

"Potter has two friends, Ron Weasly and Hermione Granger. He is in the Griffendor house, and he has a Maruder's Map," Draco began.

"He knows the Sectumsempra, Impedimenta, Incarcerous, and a whole slew of other powerful curses. Beware," Draco warned.

"Why? You're the one fighting Potter. I'm just there to back you up if any reinforcements show up," Gaara growled. Gaara left quickly and went to her favorite hideout to meditate.

Gaara, why do you despise Draco? Voldemort asked telepathaicly. At a young age, Voldemort cast a spell on Gaara's arm. It allowed her total connection to the Dark Lord.

He has too much of an ego. All talk and no bite. If he had accomplished anything worth bragging, then it would be different, Gaara replied slowly, pronouncing each word seperatly.

Gaara, he has to start somewhere. Besides, he knows that you resent him because he has a family, and much more than you did at his age. You are going with the boy, and that is final. Come see me after you finish your meditation, Voldemort snapped.

You don't need to remind me of that. I am not disagreeing with the mission, and your word, I just hate him. Now, if you please, leave me be of his vile picture, Gaara replied humbily. Voldemort did so, and she began to meditate, thinking of all manors randomly. Trees, water, her lord, even Draco Malfoy came to mind, being quickly brushed away. In total, Gaara was meditating for about two hours.

Opening her eyes, Gaara stood up from the ground and remembered that she needed to see the Dark Lord. Hopping on her broomstick, (because you could only appeariate off of the headquarters)Gaara flew to the HQ and went straight to Lord Voldemort's room.

"I've finished with meditation. What, m'lord, did you wish to see me about?" Gaara asked, head bowed. Noticing the signal, Gaara resumed perfect posture and sat infront of the Dark Lord.

"I need you to have this. It is a timeturner. You may need it for your next mission. Each turn constitutes for an hour, see?" He said. At times, Lord Voldemort could seem to actually be a nice father figure on Gaara, and the rest of the time, he was a ruthless leader.

Gaara nodded and took the timeturner. "If it is not too bold m'lord," Gaara asked, and waited for permission to continue, "might I ask what I will be needing the timeturner for?"

"While Draco is taking care of Weasly, you must also guard the door. You will stand next to Draco untill the reinforcements show up, then use the timeturner. Keep track of the hours," Voldemort said kindly. Gaara nodded and left, bowing in thanks and respect before leaving the doorway and closing the door.

The weeks passed quickly for Gaara. Draco left on Monday of the first week, so Gaara stayed in her room and tended to her falcon, playing with it and feeding it.

Finally, the Friday night of the second week came! Gaara appearated to Hogsmead and walked up from there.She was an hour and thirty minutes early and was making good time. In ten minutes, Potter's sleeping powder will have kicked in, and Weasly will be snoring. The job was supposed to be easy.

Gaara made the school in exelent time. Slipping into the school, she walks to the floor with the portrait of the Fat Lady.

"Oh, hello. Do I know you?" the Fat Lady asked.

"No. Let me in," Gaara growled. She flashed her knife at the portrait for a second before returning it to the folds of her cloak. Gaara smiled at the flinch of the Fat Lady.

"I shall not let you in!" the Fat Lady exclaimed.

"Sigh. I didn't want it this way. Fine, Queen Griffy." Gaara sighed with mock pity. The Fat Lady got a very scared look on her face as she swung open. Just as she passed Gaara, Gaara raised her knife at the Fat Lady and struck her in a great slash wrecking the canvas, and injuring the Fat Lady-for she didn't expect the slash, and therefore, could not dodge it by running to another painting.

Malfoy stood in the common room, over Ronald Weasly. Harry was in a Prefecticus Totalus, and was not moving. Gaara noted that Harry was still asleap.

"What's the spell to send out coil of rope?" Draco whispered.

"Hunuiram Gorruis. Careful, put a silence suffix on the end, the spell makes such a bang." Gaara instructed. Too late, Draco spoke the spell, and BANG! Harry's eyes fluttered open.

A look of wonder and stunment flashed in Harry's eyes as he noted his entrapment in the Prefeticus Totalus.

"Wingarum Leviosa. Let's go before anyone else comes." Dracowhispered as groans and shouts came form the boys and girls dorms.

"Go! I'll stun them!" Gaara hissed. Pointing her spare wand in her left hand at the boys dorm, and her right hand at the girls, she emited twenty beams each. A small cry could be heard as each of the student's crumpled under the attack. Gaara then prefomed a memory charm on Harry, and ran out of the house and out of the school. She met up with Draco on the edge of the school grounds.

"Here he is. He's awake. I have to get back to my bed." Draco whispered.

"Draco Malfoy," Gaara called out as Draco was turning, "you did good. I'll put in a good word to the Dark Lord." Draco just smiled and turned back to the school.
