Chapter 7
"Where are we going if I may ask?"
"No you may not."
"And why not?"
"It's not my business to say." Hermione felt like her legs were going to fall off.
"What do you mean? You are taking me aren't you?"
"Yes miss Grainger I am but not for myself" At that Hermione blushed "Of coarse not"
"If I was taking you we would desaparate there."
"So why aren't we?" Bellatrix sighted
"Look I've got my orders so stop asking questions and walk."
Hermione pouted but walked anyways. But it wasn't like she was complaining since Bellatrix was walking in front of her and she got a very nice view of her behind.
Finally they came to a clearing where there was a small shed. Hermione looked confused " That's it?"
"Yes miss Grainger that is it. Now walk inside so they can explain everything" So Hermione slowly and carefully opened the door.
Of coarse it would be bigger on the inside. There was a large table and Dumbledore and some other members od The Order next to him. "Ah Hermione, finally." Hermione wanted to complain but she respected the old wizard too much to say anything.
"Apparantly the shed was the new place for order meetings and no one else got the memo which suprised noone since it was the old Weasly owl that was carrying the letters. So as they took their seats Hermione wondered why she was invited to come to the meeting now and why Harry and Ron weren't there with her. But she had no time to make her now giant list of Questions That Were Important any bigger (and yes she did name her list).
There were people she had never seen before sitting at the table. They were all really old and weren't moving so for a moment she wondered if they were still alive. But then she decided that was stupid since their beards moved every time they breathed in. She saw Bellatrix sit in a chair that was on the opposite side of the table than Dumbledore. They were each at their own end of the table. There was one seat avalible next to each ot them and Hermione was struck with the dilemma of where to sit. She looked at each of them and since nether of them gave her any sign of where to sit she decided to sit next to the person that she was les annoyed at the moment.
Bellatrix didn't even look at her when Hermione sat next to her. She just kept looking straight ahead at Dumbledore.
"Hermione i assume you know why you are here?"
"No sir, I'm afraid I don't"
"Ah, so Miss Black didn't tell you then?" Hermione looked af Bellatrix with a raised eyebrow.
"Well you asked me so nicley not to so I decided to aknolidge your request" Hermione had never seen anyone talk that way to Dumbledore. She had always tought everyone respected Dumbledore way too much to ever talk to him that way but she was wrong. She didn't know what went down between them but there was almost nothing she wanted to know more.
As they sat at the table the really old men awakened and they and Dumbledore started arguing about wether The Deathly Hollows were real and Hermione got lost. As she looked over to Bellatrix who was playing with her hair and had on her face a look of pure disinterest she wanted nothing more than to have a dictionary to explain all of the (even to her) new spells and magical objects. She was just about to ask what The Deathly Hollows were when one of the old men asked. "Bellatrix what do you think?" Bellatrix still completly disinterested answered " Of corse they are real have you not seen the bloody trail they have left troughout our history? I have told you a million times that you can find them if you only look closly enough"
"So you could find them?"
"Yes. And no I'm not going to since they are of little importance to me and could be dangerous if handeled by the wrong person"
"But they wouldn't be. We would protect them and find better hiding places if they are as easy to find as you say"
"No. They are best left alone. They bring bad fortune not only to the person who posesses them but also to people around them" Hermione was a little taken aback. Altho she still didn't know what they were talking about she didn't think Bellatrix had such a stron opinion about it since she seemed so bored before. But then again you have to be a very good actor if you want to decive Voldemort and work as spy right under his nose (well as much as there is left of it)
A/N: So this is it. Yes it took me like forever to write it but i guess I lost the interest to write this story. I hope you liked the chapter and I'm begging you to leave me a review even if it is just to tell me that you hate me for not updating. Also rabbits are awesome.
