Chapter 1 – Something Unexpected
Dumbledore stared out the window of his office at Hogwarts. He knew that today would be the day that both Hermione and Draco will receive their letters telling them that they are to be married. He thought, their last year at Hogwarts was going to be a total disaster! However, even Dumbledore can be wrong because it was going to be worse than a disaster it would be destruction. Havoc raging across the lands as dark wizards versus light wizard and the muggle world caught in the middle of it. (MWAHAHAHA!)
Nevertheless, that wasn't on his made now. He was worried about what would happen to Ron, Hermione, Harry and Draco. He had tried to reason with Hermione's parents and Draco's biological parents over the years but he still couldn't convince them.
Sighing Dumbledore got off the windowsill to take a stroll through the castle when he heard a screech and turned to look at Fawkes, the phoenix, who was sitting on is perch. Fawkes who was usually a red colour was now black. Dumbledore knew that, that meant that someone, in the wizarding world, had just died. Then Fawkes also turned silver and Dumbledore knew the worst had just happened. Harry Potter, heir of Gryffindor, Dumbledore's golden boy, hero of the wizarding world or what everyone else was calling him these days, was DEAD! Or so he thought.
Dumbledore immediately flooed to Grimmauld Place, He then evaporated to Privote Drive, with the whole of the Order, to examine the damage and to determine who had killed Harry Potter.
The order searched the house for hours and found any life forms that used to be living in the house had also been killed. The ministry arrived just seconds after the dark mark appeared and Fudge looked distraught at the thought of Harry Potter dead.
With both the ministry and the order on the case, they soon found that it was the Narcissa and Lucius Malfoy that were the culprits behind this monstrous event.
Ron and Hermione were sitting on the end of Ron's bed when Dumbledore and all other members – well those who were part of the order – had left the building. Hermione was in a disastrous state and Ron was unsure of what to say to comfort her. She had just received her letter!
Ron and Hermione got up and left the room. They walked down the stairs and no one was there except Ginny who was balling her eyes out.
"What's wrong Ginny? Where's everyone gone?" he asked. She hadn't noticed that they had come into the room and jumped at Ron's voice.
"Harry… D…" she stumered trying to gets the words out but couldn't. Hermione had figured out what Ginny meant and she started howling tears again.
Ron stared from his sister to his girlfriend before it hit him. "Bloody hell", he said before he collapsed onto a couch behind him.
They didn't know what to say so they just sat there staring at the wall. Sometime later, there was a knock on the door. None of them moved at first but then Hermione got up and went to the door. She opened it and Remus Lupin stepped in. He looked at the three and sighed.
"It doesn't mean that the world is about to come to an end you know. Just because the hero of the wizarding world is dead doesn't mean there's no hope for the rest of us. You three, being the closest to Harry, should know that he wouldn't want you to give up", he announced before heading to the kitchen to make lunch.
Hermione moved closer to Ron as he put his arms comfortingly around her. This is going to be one screwed up summer. Well what ever remained of it any way. There was just over a week left and by the looks of things the whole world would be dying before everyone's eyes and the only person that the prophecy claimed could kill Voldermort was dead.
After two hours, they had eaten lunch, were currently sitting in the same room, and had hardly moved when Dumbledore emerged from the fire place and entered the room the four children were currently sitting in. He was followed by Tonks (who was currently in a monstrous state), Snape (who was not showing any emotions what so ever), Mad Eye (who was not his normal mad state but instead looked as though he was about to collapse) and finally Mr and Mrs Weasley (Mr Weasley was trying to calm his wife as soon as he came through).
The six adults looked around at the four Hogwarts students and then at Lupin who had just entered through the kitchen door. The room was silent until Dumbledore spoke.
"We have a meeting in ten minutes I expect everyone to be there. Yes, even you four. Right now I have to go to the Malfoy residence and pick up young Draco before he is handed over to Voldermort", Dumbledore said before disappearing into the fireplace and shouting, "Malfoy Manor". The usual green fire appeared before them.
Everyone gathered in the kitchen seven minutes after Dumbledore left. Most of the order members had arrived and Mrs Weasley was silently making sandwiches, tea and coffee for everyone. When it was exactly ten minutes, Dumbledore appeared through the door, followed closely by Draco Malfoy who glared when he saw his wife-to-be. He sat in the chair that was empty to Snape's left and Dumbledore sat to the right of Snape.
"Now you all have heard of the unfortunate event that happened earlier this morning. I am sad to say that it is indeed true. However, we are yet to find out which curse was used and who the culprits were. We believe it to be Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy but we are yet to find out", at this most in the room glared at Draco and Hermione looked about to cry again, "Draco has informed me that he hasn't seen or heard from both his parents since he went to bed last night so it was most likely them. Now I have called this meeting to inform everyone that we have five new order members. Yes they are the students sitting among us", and the meeting went on to explain what was going to happen now.
"Now that we have that sorted that at I would like to speak to Miss Granger, Mr Malfoy and young Mr Weasley", the order left through the door except for those three students.
Ron held Hermione's hand tightly and Draco glared at them before turning to Dumbledore.
"Mr Malfoy and Miss Granger, I do believe that you have both received your letters and that both of you think that it is a hoax but it is not. Mr Weasley and Miss Granger, I am sorry to say that your relationship must not continue", Ron looked at Dumbledore; "I know that this will probably make things worse but it must be done. There is no way of changing it I have spoken to both sets of parents and they didn't brake off the marriage obviously", Hermione was now in tears and Draco and Ron both glared at Dumbledore. The twinkle in his eyes had long gone since he found out about Harry Potter.
"Now the arrangements for the wedding have already been made by both your parents. Your biological parents that are Draco's are meeting you towards the end of the week. In addition, you will meet Miss Granger's parents at the time. And the wedding is set for two weeks after school started and both mothers' will be taking you to get your wedding dress. Now I believe that Molly wishes to make dinner for us so we can continue this after dinner", he said getting up and opening the door to indeed find Mrs Weasley impatiently tapping her foot just outside.
Harry Potter watched as wizards searched the room. He had tried talking to them, trying to tell them that he was alive but they couldn't see or hear him. He was invisible to all life on earth. No one could even know that he wasn't dead. He couldn't remember what happened either. He had woken up and saw Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy in his room before they disappeared but that was all.
When the people had finished the house he also found out that, his relatives were dead and watched their and his body's being taken away. Then he saw Dumbledore come into his room. Dumbledore looked sad and distraught. Dumbledore glanced to where Harry was now sitting in the room. He walked towards him and reached out his hand. Harry watched as he felt Dumbledore's hand go through him, but gasped when he realized that he was actually touching his skin.
"Harry?" Dumbledore asked. "Professor Dumbledore!" Harry shouted as loud as he could to see if Dumbledore could hear him as well.
Dumbledore jumped back, "no need to shout Harry! Now Harry I am positive that I am the only one who can see you AND hear you. You have to tell me what happened here. Who was it?"
"Oh God. I thought that I wouldn't be able to talk to anyone again! I can't remember what happened all I remember is waking up and seeing Mr and Mrs Malfoy before they disappeared. I'm guessing to Voldermort because shortly after they left my scare started burning and hasn't stopped yet", Harry said trying to calm down.
"Harry I want you to come with me. I'm going to the Order now and I want you to stay there. Everyone else is outside so it's time that I was there. I won't be able to talk to you and I won't tell them you're still here until we are at Hogwarts", with that Dumbledore headed towards the door and Harry followed slowly behind him.
They exited the house where a lot of wizards whom Harry didn't recognize greeted Dumbledore. Dumbledore soon found the four wizard and witch that he was looking for and led them back inside with a glance at Harry and then flooed to Grimmauld Place and Harry followed though he wasn't exactly sure how he got there. He wasn't able to touch the floo powder, or so he thought.
He saw Hermione in Ron's arms and wanted to go over and say everything was all right, but he knew they couldn't hear him. ON THE OTHER HAND, see him. Therefore, he sat in the corner until Dumbledore got back from the Manor and then entered the kitchen where the meeting was being held and went to a corner and sat there.
The meeting went on for what seemed like for ever until Dumbledore ended the meeting and asked Malfoy, Mione and Ron to stay behind and he soon found out something that he felt he could kill Malfoy for and glared at Dumbledore along with the others.
