I'm Down To One Last Breath
Chapter Two: Don't Judge A Book by Its Cover
It was just at that moment when the compartment door opened to reveal someone much unexpected.
Luna Lovegood opened the compartment door to find Harry and Hermione in a very compromising position. The tears in her eyes and look of shock on his face showed her all she needed to know.
"It's about time you told him the truth Hydra." She said as she sat down across from them.
"Wait a minute, you knew about this the entire time!" Harry asked her, jumping up out of the seat
"Of course I knew; Papa and I are both members of the Morte Consiglio. I follow Hydra in ranking and Papa is fifth." She told him in a casual tone.
"Who else is a member that I know? Why are you calling her Hydra for?"
"Harry, it's my real name. My full name is Hydra Jayne Gaspar, partly because Mother had it put into her marriage contract that any girls born during their marriage would be given her maiden name, and the fact that only female family members with the name Gaspar can inherit anything from my mother's family." Hermione told him.
"Oh. Can I get my first question answered then?" Harry asked, feeling incredibly stupid.
"I, Luna, Mr. Lovegood, Ginny, Ernie, Mrs. Malfoy, Draco, and Susan are all members of the Morte Tossica. Luna, Mr. Lovegood, Draco, Susan, and I are members of the Morte Consiglio. Luna is third in raking, Mr. Lovegood is fifth, Draco is seventh, and Susan is ninth."
"Malfoy is a member of the Morte Consiglio, how did that happen?"
"Mrs. Malfoy did not want Draco to be helpless when his father got angry, so she thought that the Morte Tossica could help. Draco has been a member since he was six. When Marcus tried to add the Morte Tossica to his army, all five of us tried to stop him. Draco is not as bad as you think, neither is Mrs. Malfoy, they just made bad choices." Luna explained, entering the conversation.
"How did Susan get pulled into this?" Harry asked.
"She got in the same way Hydra did, Hadria was her childhood babysitter. Susan's aunt knows about it and has even shown an interest in the Morte Tossica." Luna answered again.
It was just then that Susan Bones walked into the compartment and sat down next to Luna.
"I see that Hydra has come clean, it is about time to, and I was starting to think she never would." Susan stated.
"So, who else will be joining us?" Harry asked, knowingly changing the subject for Hermione.
"I believe that Draco, Ginny, Ernie, and Neville should be here any minute." Luna answered.
"Does Neville know about all this?" Harry asked.
"Yes, his grandmother is a member as well. The entire name calling and fighting has been an act the entire time." Susan told him.
There was silence in the compartment for about five minutes until the door opened again, but this time Draco Malfoy walked into the compartment.
This chapter is kind of a background story, hope you do not mind. Next chapter: Draco and Harry confront each other.
