To my Reviewers:

Wow…I can not begin to tell you how happy it makes me when I get a review that says how much you enjoy this story. Every time I get a good review, I want to sit down and type the next chapter! =) Thank you so much for making this experience worthwhile.

Serpentsattire:

BWAHAHAHA! I gave you a cliffhanger and I didn't even realize it! I hope this continues to impress you…have a cookie.

Wiccan PussyKat:

I am glad you are enjoying it so far. I usually am not the biggest fan of slash either, but here I am writing it! I can assure you that there won't be any steamy or explicit sex scenes. (It is rated pg-13 and that is mostly for language and violence.) I probably wouldn't be very good at writing them, seeing as how I don't usually read them. I always wondered what would have happened too! In fact, I was just about to write this fic when I found the first chapter, done by serpentsattire, who was generous enough to let me use it, and I can't stop thanking her enough.

Go in good health,

M&M

P.S.: Of course you can have a cookie! I have chocolate chip, M&M, peanut butter, oatmeal raisin, and sugar. I can also make you a specialty one, 'cause cookies make the world go 'round.

Katoriina:

Thank you so much for telling me that! It makes me that much more confident to know you were pleased by what I chose to do. Have a cookie, and thanks for your review!

Beth Weasley:

A prequel! Yippee! I can hardly wait! **joins in Happy Dance** C'mon Draco, don't you want more abuse?!

Draco: (sullenly) yay.

I'm so glad you are enjoying my story; I look forward to that update from yours! Have another cookie! =)

Funness:

It's funner if Sirius isn't dead! We never really got to know him that well in Canon, and I was sad. =(

You'll see how messed up Harry is soon…

Have a cookie!

JiNglebellz:

I really hope you didn't start this fic thinking it wasn't going to be slash? I'm so sorry if you did, because those were part of the terms to which I agreed to take this story. I hope this won't deter you from continuing to read and enjoy, because it will be a casual relationship, and I don't plan on going into passionate scenes. It will still be a good story, and if you like, I can put a warning at the top of each chapter that will contain slash.

Cookie? And I know, Draco is really cute. =)

Usernotavailable:

Merlin! (LOL) I'm so glad you like my story. Have a cookie from your stalker.

Sliver-Crow

I'm updating! Have a cookie!

lyss33:

I'm a claustrophobic writer. I'll try to limit the spaces. Thanks for your review, have a cookie!

Sweet Sorrow:

Yay, somebody finally guessed the quote, two cookies for you. Also, thanks for reviewing my song fic; I thought that story would never get a review. =)

My roll thanks you. Have another cookie.

Reflective Velvet:

They threw popcorn at you? That's so sad! I loved that line too; the butterfly thing with Draco was pretty spontaneous though. Have another cookie.

I'm really glad you like my quote! These things just pop up at me randomly. They scare me sometimes.

To all: Thank you for your kind reviews and encouragement. Before we get any farther, this story will contain mild slash between Harry and Draco. I am also considering, Ron/Hermione on a side note. Tell me what you think.

Because this is the end of their year at Hogwarts, I have considered making this an epic fic and going a little into the summer and then, come next year, Voldie & Death Eaters and all that good stuff. We still need Umbridge torture, and I want to have some Dursley's and Lucius. In order to do all this, this may end up being a long story. Which is lots of fun, but I will also not be able to update every day like I have been doing.

Tell me what you want to see, this should be lots of fun.

Your partner in crime,

Mickeymoose

 Chapter 6: In

Dear Father,

            This is yuor son, Vincent, repourting a new peice of infourmateon regarding Potter. Today in Dolorus Umbrage's office, we were wittnes too Draco's decizon to suport Dumbledore instead of the Dark Lord. Thuoght you might lyke to no. He savd Potter's life, when he was sposed to dye. Rite me back.

Vincent Crabbe

********************************************************************************************************************************************************

"Dumbledore, Are you sure this is what you want?" Alastor Moody was wondering if the old Headmaster had finally come off his rocker. "This is a big risk you're taking, and to be honest, I don't think they are ready for it."

"Mr. Malfoy will already be a target for Voldemort, once he hears of his betrayal to protect Mr. Potter."

"Yes…but… the Order? Albus! You have first and foremost, a responsibility to the Wizarding World. Not to Harry and his friends."

"My friends, this argument carries me into my next topic, the reason why making the students a part of the Order is a vital step towards our defeat of Voldemort." Dumbledore sighed and smiled softly at Lupin, Sirius, Moody, Shacklebolt, and Tonks.

"Yes, we would all like to know Albus, why you are willing to gamble with our lives in order to cater to the children."

"It is time, then, to tell you of the prophecy."

So Dumbledore told them.

************************************************************************************************************

Hospital wing-Draco's POV

Granger, the Weasel and I were watching Potter.

This was not very much fun; except for the fact that the strand of Potter's hair which covered his lightening scar could be blown to one side and Potter's face would twitch.

That was fun.

I don't think Weasley was very happy that I was staying in there with them, he kept glancing over at me like I was about to stab him in the back.

Screw you, Weasel King. If I wanted to kill Harry, I would have done it in Umbridge's office...I hope Potter still remembers how to play Quidditch when he wakes up…Not that the Weaselette was that bad, she just wasn't as smooth when she flew…… or as fast… she also didn't get as riled so easily…

I was pulled from my musings when Weasley shrieked aloud.

"Ron, what is it?" Granger was half-asleep on the end of the bed.

"His hand moved! Harry's hand moved!"

************************************************************************************************************

Silence reigned in Dumbledore's office.

Sirius took a deep shuddering breath.

"So…"

Lupin draped his arm across his friend's shoulders, Moody grimaced visibly, while Tonks released a breath she had no idea she'd been holding.

"I understand this is a lot to digest at once." Dumbledore explained. "It is hard, even for me, to believe that a teenager will be responsible for the destruction of one of the most evil beings in our world."

"It's not fair!" Sirius burst out. "He shouldn't have to worry about this!"

"A lot of things aren't fair right now, what's important is the fact that Harry has his friends and the Order to support him." Dumbledore said.

"Hell of a lot of good that'll do if Harry never wakes up." Sirius replied miserably. Moony's pack instincts made him want to fix everything for his brother, but this was the sort of situation where Remus could do nothing to make Padfoot feel better, and in turn it made him miserable.

"You are absolutely certain this is Harry's prophecy?" Moody asked Dumbledore.

"I wouldn't have told you all this if I wasn't." Dumbledore sighed in resignation

"And you want to make Harry a part of the Order because of it?" Tonks frowned.

"I feel it is the best course of action for now." Dumbledore sighed. "This brings me to the next order of business-"

Before Dumbledore could continue, there came the pounding of footsteps outside the office door. Draco Malfoy burst through the doorway, panting, his blonde hair flopping into his eyes.

"Headmaster, everyone," He gasped for air. "Potter's awake."

************************************************************************************************************

Harry's POV:

I was alive.

Was I?

Yes, I felt heavy… and sore. My arms and head ached. My tongue was dry and it filled up my mouth. Can I move? I twitched my hand, and to my surprise there were exclamations of shock from above me.

"He moved his hand, I swear to Merlin!"

"Where? I can't see! Move over, Ron!"

Ron? Where have I heard that voice before? I know who that is.

My mind was foggy; it hurt to think about things other than breathing.

"Move again Harry. Please!"

I knew I was Harry, Harry Potter, and that was a girl speaking. A distinct image of bushy brown hair came before my mind's eye. Brown, a nice color…What was she called? It had an 'H' in it. I couldn't remember if it was at the front or the back… Harriet? Henrietta? Hannah? That one had two letter 'H's in it.

"Go tell someone, Malfoy. Make yourself useful." The boy called Ron snapped.

Malfoy? Malfoy! Draco Malfoy! He…he plays quidditch…he was in Slytherin…I knew there was something important about him I was missing. He has nice blonde hair too…

I could hear Draco get up and move out of the room, very fast.

"Harry, it's me, Hermione. Can you move for us, please? Try and open your eyes."

Hermione, that's it! Hermione Granger!

It was totally unexpected, but when I remembered Hermione's surname, all sorts of images flashed through my mind.

****Battling a troll, riding the Hogwart's express, Dumbledore's Army, the Sorting Hat, a Basilisk, and Sirius…Sirius!

 I remembered he was alive and well…… and I remembered Voldemort…Occlumency…Umbridge! ***

And I was so overcome by these images that my eyes flew open.

I think I startled my two best friends, for they immediately stopped babbling.

************************************************************************************************************

Dumbledore's office:

Sirius and Lupin leapt up so fast their chairs fell over. Tonks was hardly more dignified, screaming, "Yes!" when she heard the news. Moody smiled and his fake eye rolled over Draco. Merlin, he's creepy…

Dumbledore and Kingsley exchanged optimistic glances, before the Headmaster smiled and bade Draco to lead the way.

***********************************************************************************************************

Hospital Wing-

Harry opened his eyes so fast and unexpectedly that Ron and Hermione jumped back in fright. Hermione tentatively raised her hand towards him in a gesture of peace.

Harry smirked, "I'm not going to bite you, Hermione." He whispered.

"Oh Harry, thank God you're alright!" Hermione leapt into his arms, which resulted in her slightly crushing his weak body. Harry moaned aloud.

"Oh Merlin, Did I hurt you?" Hermione looked fit to cry. Harry just gasped and attempted a reassuring smile.

"Nothing Madam Pomfrey can't fix." Harry smiled at Hermione, before noticing Ron looking hopefully over at him.

Ron seemed to be surveying the damage Hermione had done.

"Hey, Mate, How're you feeling?" He nodded towards Harry, who gave him an exasperated look over Hermione's head. She couldn't stop clinging to him.

"I feel…… like I got trampled by a rampaging Hippogriff… And it thumped me on the head."

Ron cringed in sympathy. "Pomfrey said that curse will do that to you……I……I….I'mreallygladyou'renotinsane…" Ron blurted out before he could stop himself.

"Ron!" Hermione squealed, "Show a little tact! He's been tortured and unconscious, and all you can talk about is his sanity! He's probably confused enough without you bringing it up!" Ron turned a delicate shade of red, and looked to Harry for some support, an apologetic look in his eyes. Harry smiled; some things never changed.

"Well……I think I'm still sane, but… listen…have you two ever heard of something called a Near Death experi-"

He was interrupted when Madam Pomfrey came in through the door.

"You told me you would tell me the moment something changed!" She shrieked, shoving aside Ron so she could get a better view of Harry.

************************************************************************************************************

Padfoot ran down the hall so fast that Lupin and the others gave up attempting to keep up with him.

He scampered, barking in glee, all the way to the hospital wing. He flew into the room, where he saw the medi-witch fussing over Harry.

Ron and Hermione were absolutely beaming in the corner.

He barely caught the words "a medical miracle" and "never expected to wake so soon," before barking loudly.

Harry tried to turn his head when he heard the dog barking.

"Snuffles!" He cried weakly, his throat hoarse from screaming. Sirius' fears were diminished when he realized that Harry indeed knew who he was, and was glad to see him.

All pretenses abandoned, Padfoot leapt onto the edge of the bed and curled up happily by Harry's side. Harry stroked his ears, until Madam Pomfrey screamed at the dog to "get down!" before he "infected her patient".
