Chapter 14
Sadie must have passed out, because moments later, she was in a large room. There were hushed voices around her.
"Where am I?" she asked. Her voice was scratchy, and didn't sound like her own at all. The man with the silver hair spoke to the others, and they left.
"Are you feeling any better Sadie?" he asked.
"Who are you, and how do you know my name?" she asked.
"My name...is Albus Dumbledore. I know quite well, actually. Allow me to explain. A spy within our group informed us that Voldermort was looking for a young woman named Sadie Karkaroff. Now, Voldermort had wanted you to live with the Malfoy's for a short amount of time. I am not too sure of his reasoning behind this. The last we heard, was that you and young Mr Malfoy had run away together, and that Lucius and Bellatrix were apprehended by the Aurors after going after you."
"I'm sorry, just hold on a second. How do you know all of this?" she asked. She tried to sit up, but her body would not allow it.
"As I've told you, we have a spy among the Death Eaters. What you must understand is that, in the end, Lucius Malfoy had no intention to turn you over to Voldermort. He began caring about you, as strange as it is". Dumbledore said.
"Where's Draco?" Sadie demanded.
"He is dead" Dumbledore said. Sadie stared at him.
"No. No, I won't believe it" she replied. Dumbledore sighed.
"I am sorry, but sometimes our loved ones do die, as much as we hate to admit it" he said.
"Where's Voldermort?" she asked.
"He fled before we were able to apprehend him" Dumbedore said.
"And Lucius?" she asked.
"He was not sent to Azkaban, if that's what you meant" he said. Sadie scowled.
"I suppose you want to know why Voldermort was after you?" Dumbledore asked.
"No, Lucius told me" she replied.
"I had a feeling he would. As I said, he began to care for you" Dumbledore said.
"Where exactly am I?" she asked.
"You are at the Headquarts of the Order of the Phoenix" he said.
"The Order of the what?"
"Phoenix"
"Which is?" she asked.
"A secret order of people dedicated to fighting against Voldermort" he said. She raised her eyebrow.
"What's going to happen to me? I have no where to go" she said.
"We have already worked that out. If you would like, you can stay here, where you will be given full protection. And, if you wish, you could join the Order" he said. Sadie nodded.
"I think I'd like that. Now, I would really like to sleep. Goodnight" she said. She fell instantly asleep.
