Chapter 3 – I'm Your What?

Over the next few days, Hermione found out a lot about her parents and her family. She found out that her mother was a Black before she got married. Everything her parents told her, she found fascinating.

After a few days, Hermione felt guilty for not telling Harry and Ron about all the things that have happened. She hoped that they will understand why she became a death eater.

One Saturday, Hermione was getting ready for the Order meeting. (She, Harry, and Ron joined last year during Christmas Break) Hermione and her parents walked over to the fireplace and one by one, they entered the fireplace and shouted Grimmauld Place.

Hermione was the last one to go and when she arrived at Grimmauld Place, she saw Harry and Ron playing wizard's chess. Harry and Ron didn't change much over the summer. The only thing that was different about them was their height. Harry was not 6'0 while Ron was 6'1.

Both of them looked up when they heard someone enter through the fireplace.

"Hermione!" they shouted in unison. They ran up to her and gave her a hug. When they broke apart, the boys noticed Monica and Charles standing behind her. Ron was the first one to respond to this.

"Bloody hell Hermione. What the hell are you doing with two Death Eaters in headquarters?"

Hermione glared at him while Harry stood there confused. Before Hermione could yell at Ron, Dumbledore entered the room.

"Ah, you're here. The meeting is about to start. Please join the others in the kitchen."

"Professor!" shouted Ron. "Why are you so calm when there are two Death Eaters here?"

"All will be explained at the meeting Mr. Weasley." Was all Dumbledore said before he left the room and headed towards the kitchen. All five of them followed Dumbledore to the kitchen where the meeting was to be held. They took their seats and waited for the rest of the Order to arrive.

Once everyone arrived, Dumbledore got up and spoke. "There are a few things that I need to announce before we begin. The first thing is about Hermione," everyone looked over at Hermione who was sitting between her parents, except Severus who didn't really care, "Hermione is not a Granger, but a Simmons." He held up his hand to stop everyone from asking questions. "I'm sure you probably think the Simmons are bad people," at this he looked at Ron. "Some of you already know the truth." He paused for a moment then continued, "The truth is that they are spying for us and our Hermione here was initiated last week."

"But Albus!" protested Molly Weasley. "She's so young. Surely you don't expect her to act as a spy for us." Murmurs of agreement could be heard around the room.

"She didn't have much of a choice Molly. If she didn't take the mark, Voldemort wouldn't hesitate to kill her."

Everyone in the room gasped.

"The next thing is, we have a new member." At that moment, a boy with platinum blond hair entered the room smirking.

"Malfoy, what are you doing?" asked Hermione.

"Well hello to you to cousin," he said stressing the word cousin.

"Cousin?" Hermione asked.

"And they call you the smartest with in our year," Hermione glared at him, "your mother and my mother are sisters, so that makes us cousins, obviously."

"He's right honey," said Monica putting a hand on Hermione's shoulder. She looked over at Draco and asked, "How are you doing Draco?"

"I'm fine Aunt Monica," he said in a sickenly (is that a word?) sweet voice.

Hermione recovered from her shock. "What are you doing here ferret?" she asked.

"I'm obviously the new member," he drawled.

"Since when were you on our side? I thought you hated mudbloods and if I remember correctly, the last time I saw you, you were getting the dark mark."

"I never hated muggleborns, Granger. It was all an...wait, you were the person that made me look weak in front of the Dark Lord?"

This time it was Hermione's turn to smirk. Everyone except Monica, Charles and Severus looked at the two bickering teens with confusion written on their faces.

"Well cousin," said Hermione, "it wasn't my fault you couldn't stand a little pain."

Draco scowled at her.

"Can someone explain what is going on here? Why is Malfoy here?" asked a very confused Ron.

"Draco has decided to come over to our side," said Charles. "And Hermione, Lucius pressured Draco into getting the mark. So didn't have much of a choice. Monica and Narcissa are sisters, so that makes Hermione and Draco cousins."

"Why did Malfoy just switch sides? He hates muggleborns. He's called Hermione a mudblood since second year," said Harry.

"I never hated muggleborns Potter," Harry gave him a look that said 'I don't believe you,' but Draco just ignored him and continued, "I was supposed to act like I hate them with me being a Malfoy and all"

Harry was about to retort, but Dumbledore cut him short. "I want you four to agree to be civil towards each other and that means no fighting or name calling," he looked over at the group of teens and after he got a nod from each of them, he continued, "no that that's all sorted out, we can begin the meeting."

The meeting went on for an hour discussing various things including Voldemort's latest plans. Dumbledore announced that he had finally convinced Fudge that the Simmons were not Death Eaters and it was agreed that when Hermione returned to Hogwarts she would be resorted, much to her dislike.

When the meeting was finally over, Hermione, Harry, and Draco went to the living room while Ron went to get Ginny.

"Why did you suddenly come to our side Malfoy?" asked Harry. "You never really told us during the meeting."

"Why should I tell you Potter?"

"Because," interjected Hermione, "if you're not gonna tell us then I'll just ask my parents."

"Alright, I'll tell you." Draco sighed then began to tell them. "I'm here because a week before school ended last year, my father told me that I would be getting the Dark Mark during the summer. I tried to object, but he just punished me and said that I should be proud to be taking the Dark Mark at such a young age. The next day, I confronted Snape and he suggested for me to join the Order and spry on the Dark Lord."

"I always thought you wanted to be a Death Eater," said Harry.

"That's what a lot of people think. They think I'm like my father, but in reality I'm not."

"I guess we all misjudged you then."

"I can't believe you two are actually having a conversation without throwing insults at each other," said Hermione.

"Yea, who would've thought I would be civil towards Potter of all people," said Draco.

Just then, Ginny and Ron showed up.

"Hermione!" Ginny ran to her friend and gave her a hug.

"How are you Ginny?" asked Hermione after they broke apart.

"I'm fine, but it gets pretty boring around here with only guys to talk to. How are you?"

"I'm okay. I found out that I'm actually a Simmons and now I'm a Death Eater," she finished quickly.

"I'm so sorry ''Mione." Ginny gave her friend another hug.

"It's okay Gin."

Ginny smiled at her friend, and that's when she noticed that Draco was in the room.

"What's Malfoy doing here?" Ginny asked.

"He was here for the Order meeting," replied Hermione.

"Isn't he a Death Eater?"

"He is, but he's on our side."

"Why are you defending him? That's so unlike you 'Mione."

"I'm not defending him Ginny. I was just telling you that he's on our side now."

"Sureeee," said Ginny unconvinced.

"I'll tell you why Weaselette," drawled Draco, "she's defending me because she's my cousin."

"She's your what!"

Draco smirked.

"Is he telling the truth?"

"Sadly, yes," said Hermione.
