Harry had just been apparated to the Burrow, landing in a fairly large and deep puddle. He groaned quietly, Thank you Dumbledore, for your perfect aim. It didn't take him long before he was standing near the staircase being bombarded by people hugging him. Ron came up and hugged his best friend in the most manly way he could, with a slap on the back. "We thought you were Charlotte, she's supposed to be arriving any second now."
It was then that both Charlotte and Ben stepped through a blaze of green flame, they were also bombarded with hugs. Charlotte went to hug Harry, but as she did she saw Hermione eyeing her and remembered the confrontation they'd had not that long ago. So she settled for a hand shake instead, then turned to give Ron a hug.
"It's good to see you both again!" Molly told them as she gathered both Ben and Charlotte in the same hug. "But where's Georgia?"
Charlotte was the first to reply, "She's gone to Daphne Greengrass' for the last two weeks of Summer."
Ben looked solemnly at her, Georgia had lied to her too? "No she's not." Everyone turned to look at him for an explanation, "She lied to Dad about where she was going, she's at the Malfoy's."
Everyone gasped. Ron looked angry, "I knew she was close to some of the Snakes, but surely she'd know better than to go Draco Malfoy's house!"
Ben looked down at his feet, he didn't really want to be relying information that wasn't his to tell. "I think that she believes she's in love with him. No doubt the family is trying to convert her their side as we speak. Only about a month and a half ago I was approached by Draco, he gave me a letter from Voldemort himself asking me to join their side."
Charlotte looked worried and upset that Georgia hadn't told her any of this, they used to tell each other everything. "How do know that? Did she tell you she was in love with him?"
"No, I just observed her behaviour towards him during Potions. They sat together almost every lesson and her body language was fairly obvious. I also have reason to believe that they've been secretly seeing each other." Charlotte's eyes widened, what?!
"And she didn't tell me? Why were they even hiding it?"
Ben smiled sadly at his little sister, she was terribly naïve sometimes and he hated to be saying this in front of their extended family but it needed to be done. "Because we're distant cousins of his, what do you think Mum would do if she found out that Georgia was dating someone classified as family? Also, it probably started after Ron's announcement to the student body, so Draco probably didn't want to ruin his perfect Pureblood image."
Hermione frowned at this, "Why would he risk taking her to his house? I'm pretty certain his parents would not be okay with harbouring a Halfblood on their property, let alone date their Son."
Ben suddenly realised his mistake, they didn't know about the whole 'related to the Dark Lord' thing, he couldn't tell them. He'd promised Georgia that he wouldn't tell Charlotte, but surely they'd keep worrying about her safety (something he wasn't too bothered about, she was the Granddaughter of Voldemort, the Malfoy's would more likely kill themselves than they would harm her) and wondering if she was okay. It would tear Charlotte apart, either with worry for her twin, or the sadness at the newly revealed information. He decide that sadness was better than worry, but he would have to get the whole Order in first… Including his Dad…

Once everyone was settled into the Dining Room of Number 12 Grimmauld Place, Albus started the meeting. "Ben, my boy, what is the purpose of this emergency meeting?"
"Well sir, I have been keeping some important information hidden from the Order. It wasn't just because I could, I was trying to protect my family. But I see now that it's necessary for the information to be known by the Order." Snape looked irritated by his assistant's babbling.
"Just spit it out boy!"
Ben looked down at his fidgeting fingers, "When the results for the Magical Heritage Potion came back, I discovered something quite shocking on Georgia's parchment. Everything was fine from her siblings to her Father, but on the part where it listed Grandparents, it said Lucretia Black, as expected, but instead of Ignatius Prewett it said Tom Marvolo Riddle."
The room was filled with gasps of horror, and Ben turned to look at his Father. "I'm really sorry I didn't tell you Dad, but I promised Georgia I wouldn't tell anyone. She didn't want Charlotte to find out because she knew how heart crushing it would be for her to find out that the Weasleys weren't actually her family."
Thomas nodded, understanding his Son's actions. If it were him who found out, he would have done the same thing. That's when Ron said something that surprised everyone, because of his usually insensitive nature, "Not matter whether it's by blood or not. You guys will always be family to us." He smiled a Charlotte and she thanked him quietly. That's when Ben remembered something else he should probably tell his Dad.
"Umm, Dad?" Thomas turned to look at him.
"Georgia lied when she said she was going to the Greengrass'."
Thomas' eyes widened in horror, "Where is she?!" He was clearly worried for his little girl's safety. What if she was taken by the Death Eaters?
"She's at Malfoy Manor."

Draco had taken Georgia to his wing, and they sat in his personal Library. They sat on a couch together, her face crying into his shirt. She hated him seeing her so weak, but she couldn't stop the tears. Her world was crumbling down around her, by the way things were going she'd never be able to look her family in the eye. Georgia could tell that her Grandfather was going to make her take the Mark, she could feel it in her bones. He couldn't have her Dad or Ben, so he needed the next best thing. Her.
It wasn't long before she was called to meet with him again, privately this time. She was escorted by Draco to his Father's study that was currently being used by the Dark Lord. She stepped inside, Draco waiting for her outside the room as the doors closed.
"Take a seat, my Dear." He waved his hand toward a comfortable looking couch, he also walked toward it. Clearly he had a casual conversation in mind.
He looked at her closely for the first time since she had entered the study. "You've been crying." He observed. "Do I have to punish anyone for this?"
"Only if you're not against self-harm." She stated blankly. "You have caused me great worry, not only for what my family will think of me, but also for your distaste for Draco. I meant what I said in that meeting."
He looked at her with amusement, "I was originally going to tell you about a task I have set for Draco, however, I have changed my mind. I wish for you to take his place for this task instead. We may be family, but I won't give you any undue special treatment. I need you to prove your allegiance, because as I understand it, all of your magical family is a part of the Order, and we can't have you running around telling them information, now can we?"
Georgia's heart began to race, this was it. He wasn't going to let her be the same person after this. "You and Draco will take the Mark before you return to Hogwarts, it's his job to find a way into the Castle without detection for my Death Eaters. It's your job to kill Albus Dumbledore."
Georgia's heart faltered, she had to kill the strongest light wizard in the world?
