Chapter 6

Dangerous Liaison

When Draco felt his wrist begin to burn he knew something wasn't right. Voldermort knew that calling him while he was at work could compromise his position.

Anyway Voldermort knew he would be finishing the mission tonight and reporting to him tomorrow so why would he need him now? Draco threw his thoughts aside as he ran down the corridor towards the bathroom, once inside he checked that it was empty before apparating to Voldermort's lair.

"You called My Lord," he said as he briskly walked over towards Voldermort with his head bowed. "Yes" was the only reply he got before suddenly everything went black and he was knocked out cold.

&&&

Hermione opened her eyes and at first saw a blurry vision of the living room. After blinking a few times Hermione saw a clearer picture of the living room accompanied by an empty wine glass and packet of Tim Tams before she remembered about her little chat with Voldermort and decided that she had to speak with Dumbledore personally about this Floo was too dangerous.

On deciding this Hermione ran up the stairs and grabbed her coat and boots, then she ran into the kitchen and wrote a note for John before grabbing her bag from the hallway table and out to walk the 10 blocks to the Order's Headquarters.

Hoping to hell that she wasn't too late to warn them…

&&&

When Draco awoke he found himself in a bare room. A 'Cell' is a better term for the room. As he sat on the floor waiting for someone to come and get him they always did in the end. He couldn't help but wonder why he was here. He hadn't even failed the mission yet. Unless was there was something else and they suspected him for something… Draco's thoughts kept wandering off until the door creaked open and a masked man beckoned him forward.

As he was marched down the corridor Draco's heart began to pump faster and faster until it seemed that if it beat any faster it would explode.

He was lead into another corridor and they kept walking until they arrived at a door about halfway along the corridor. The masked man knocked twice before opening the door and literally shoving Draco inside before shutting the door and remaining outside of the room, Draco did not like the look of what he saw in front of him.

Something just wasn't right…

&&&

Hermione ran up the stairs of Number 12 Grimmauld Place wrenched the door open and ran up the stairs skipping every second one.

Once Hermione was on the second landing she raced down the hallway to Dumbledore's room, or what she remembered as being his room. Once there she slid to a halt before she opened the door and staggered in.

On entering the room she came to face 3 shocked faces. For a minute none of them spoke until Dumbledore cleared the silence that had taken over the room.

"Ah so nice of you to join us" he said and Hermione noted how he didn't mention either of her names in front of them. She wasn't all to shocked by this she knew that telling them could compromise the whole mission.

Quickly Hermione walked into the room shutting the door as she did so. Once she had taken a seat she did not wait for Dumbledore to ask what was so wrong that it would make her come here and compromise her position.

"they attack tomorrow he told me personally" she began "will you be ready?" she asked worriedly "you will be won't you?" she asked again.

As tears began to form in the corners of Hermione's eyes Dumbledore spoke "Harry, Ginny you must go now hide now is not your time Harry the prophecy has said so." On hearing this Harry went to argue but Ginny stopped him before she turned to Hermione. "Thank you" was all she said before she left the room dragging Harry out the door with her.

Hermione slumped into the chair the moment they left the room. "the order will be ready I hope otherwise all our planing could go to waste."

"Lemon Drop" was the only response she received from Dumbledore…

&&&

Draco began to worry as Voldermort motioned for him to take a seat on the chair opposite himself. Once he had sat down Voldermort wasted no time in getting to the point.

"Malfoy," he drawled "your wife you said she had no idea of your position here. Are you positive of this" on hearing this Draco became completely confused 'Diane, what could she have to do with this?' he though before looking up and seeing that Voldermort was still waiting for a reply.

"My Lord," he began as per-usual "my wife has never spoken, mention or implied anything that would even suggest that she knows of my work here. Why do you ask?" with this Draco crossed his fingers and hoped this was the answer that Voldermort required and this was merely a test of his loyalty and nothing more as Draco hoped that Diane had not gotten herself involved in any of this.

On hearing this Voldermort's eyes seemed to light up "you lie" he said as he pulled out his wand and aimed right at Draco's throat. "now I will give you one more chance" he said "screw-up and it is lights out for you my friend."

Draco swallowed and tried to control his thoughts as they went speeding through his mind at a hundred miles an hour. "My Lord I do not understand what you are talking of" he stated as he then held his breath awaiting Voldermort's response.

Voldermort seemed to accept Draco's word and lowered his wand away from Draco's throat though he still kept it in his hand placed gently on his lap as if it was a harmless piece of wood, though both he and Draco knew that it was not harmless rather the opposite… Deadly.

"If you are telling me the truth then it is your wife that has been misleading me… Draco find out who she is and what she is up to" he said as he stood to leave the room, before he turned and faced Draco "and once you have that information" he said "dispose of her…"

after Voldermort had left the room Draco stared at his hands for a second before jumping out of his seat and apparating home.

When Draco arrived home there was no dinner on the table. Rather a note instead.

John,

Gone out, friend called last minuted needing help with a function . Dinner from last night is in the fridge, you can heat that up or cook something else if you wish. See you later tonight.

Much love

Diane.

Draco grabbed the note and chucked it towards the bin, before collapsing into a chair. Why was his life falling apart? Everything had been so perfect this morning.

The clock chimed 8pm and Draco realised that there was the meeting with the order tonight where Dumbledore would give out the final plans for next week. Draco just hoped that he looked decent as he ran out the door.

&&&

Hermione sat in Dumbledore's office, she now looked her usual self, after both her and Dumbledore had decided that there was no point in her going back to Voldermort he must have suspected something to change his plans so quickly on her.

Hermione let a silent tear fall down her cheek, she would never see John again. Just the thought of that pained her deeply.

Though when Dumbledore's door opened Hermione stood expecting to be lead out to the meeting. Instead she came to face someone she thought she would never see again.

&&&

Draco couldn't understand why Granger was here after being away for over 2 years from what he had heard. Then he saw the pendant around her neck and the bracelet on her arm, the very same arm, which he now realised, she hid the Dark Mark on.

Draco knew she would suspect something after all they had both lied about their siding in the war, both had said they did not want to be involved. And yet now he realised both were playing the game.

Though as Draco prepared for something really horrible to happen to him, for it always did when he had a run in with Granger. Though to both his surprise and to Dumbledore's instead of attacking him she promptly fainted and Draco immediately on impulse ran over and caught her.

When Granger safe in his arms Draco then turned and came to face Dumbledore with a look that Draco knew he didn't like from the moment he first saw it…

Draco knew that it wasn't safe to stay Granger would inevitable tell them the rest. Until then he had to get away. 'Screw the mission' Draco though as he placed Granger on the floor and quickly gave Dumbledore a nod before quickly running out of the room and out of the building.
