Ok some of you were confused about McGonagall's part in this chapter, so I'm going to clear up. McGonagall noticed that Draco and Hermione were fighting and decided to do something about it. Heather was placed under a spell (by McGonagall) that made her research Draco and Hermione, thus giving them a common enemy. Does that make sense? McGonagall forced them to work together by scaring them with Heather. Get it? Oh well maybe that's to confusing.

Oh yes and I would like to thank all of you who reviewed, I promised a prize to the 100th reviewer and here is the prize…..a new chapter! Ok lame prize but whatever.

Now for the next installment of "In the Muggle World"…..


5 teenagers knelt before their master's throne.

"What news do you bring me?" A cold voiced pierced the silence. One of the girls stood and looked at her Lord from under her hood.

"My Lord, nothing of much importance has happened since they arrived. We have detected heavy protective charms surrounding them. It's strange but it seems that the closer together they are, the stronger the charm is. I have a feeling some one back at Hogwarts is keeping a close tab on them."

"Dumbledore is gone and they have just sent a mudblood and a boy in dire need of protection into the muggle world. And to top it all off they have not brought they're wands with them. Of course they're being watched, you fool." The Dark Lord snapped.

The girl did not shrink in fear or even flinch for that matter. She knew he would not harm her, she was key in this project. "Yes my Lord," she bowed her head.

He sighed, "Anything else?"

"Yes. We have succeeded in locating their home and have cast detection charms on it. If anybody cast a spell or charm on them we will be alerted of what the spell was and where it came from."

"Clever." Voldemort raised his eyebrows in surprise. He had known these teens were very intelligent and advanced in magic but he had no idea how much.

She smiled, "Thank you my Lord. But that's not all, the charms will also tell us when someone enters or exits the building." She took a brave step forward, "Since we already know that the protection charm is stronger when they are together, I suggest we wait until they separate and then take one of them prisoner."

He nodded and looked fondly at the girl. He motioned for her to come closer. With one swift movement her hood fell revealing long strawberry blonde hair and her stunning blue eyes. "You know Rembrandt you really are a remarkable witch."

"Thank you my Lord, but I could never have done any of this without my team."

"Yes, yes." He waved a hand impatiently, "But we all know that without you Lilac and Violet would be lost and Christopher would still be working to bring me down." Chris looked at his hands. He wasn't sure he was doing the right thing. Hermione was sweet and didn't deserve to be handed over to Voldemort. She would be killed if that happened. Chris shoved these thoughts to the back of his mind, knowing full well that "his Lord" was an expert at legilimency. "You may all leave. Except Christopher." Chris's stomach churned. Why did they Dark Lord want him? The others left and Chris stood and approached the throne.

"Yes my Lord?"

"Christopher I have a special job for you. I need you to get close to the mudblood. You need to gain her trust. You will succeed," The Dark Lord gave the boy a look, "or else."

Chris knew what the or else would be, so he nodded, "Yes my Lord." With that he left, the strange feeling that something horrible was about to happen following him as he went.


I'm disappointed in myself.

I have decided this doesn't even qualify as a chapter, it is a chapette. A chapette is half a chapter. I'm sorry its taking me so long to update but I've been busy AND I my cousin from Texas is staying here, in my room, so I haven't been able to get to the computer, well except now. I promise a nice long chapter for the next chapter. Although I can't say when that will arrive, seeing as how I will be stuck in after school rehearsal until the 13th (of January) I think. But the fun doesn't end their, the 17th thru the 21st I'll my shows and one LONG rehearsal. Most likely the next chapter will come before the 3rd (of January) or after the 21st, sorry that's the best I can do.
