Chapter 4 Second Mission

Dawn apperated from 'Heaven on Earth' and right into Commander Fin's office even though there were anti-apperation wards that reviled the ones around Hogwarts. "What's wrong? Are you OK? Mom?" she asked in a panicky voice.

"You all have your orders. You'll leave in the morning, 5:00 a.m., using muggle transportation, in other words you'll be flying TransAir. Dismissed." Commander Fin then turned to Dawn and enveloped her in a hug. "Calm down, and HOW do you do that? No one is supposed to be able to apperate into this building, let alone my office." He wondered out loud and then replied to her question, "Your Mother and I are just fine. I just need your help with something."

"Then why did you send the dynamic duo to find me? Why didn't you contact me directly? Having those 'rons' (meaning moron's) tell me that they were sent by you led me to believe that you were injured in some way."

"I sent the Colin twins because I needed some time to get things organized, and to set things in motion. Hence, your help is needed. Ethan and Vince have been having 'episodes' during missions that have put not only their lives, but the lives of their compatriots at risk. Albus Dumbledore believes he knows what the problem is. What I need to know is how would you like to be a teacher at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?"

"Scotland? You want me to go to Scotland? Dad, you are out of your mind!" Dawn exclaimed. "All anyone has to do is take one look at me and they will know I'm related to the Malfoy's. I really don't want that type of attention."

"As much as I love your platinum blonde hair, IF you take this job, it WILL have to go. Your eyes though, they are more blue than grey. Malfoy's eyes tend to be more silver than blue, so that won't have to be changed." Fin circled around Dawn while pursing her "Luckily you have my build and not your mother's; otherwise, there's no way you could do this. Change your hair to a golden brown; it will go well with your complexion."

"Do what?" curiosity piqued. "Besides teaching what do you have in mind? "

"Dawn, you're our cover to get into Hogwarts. There you'll try to sway your cousin to the side of light. And you will help teach Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter how to survive."

"I was right. You are out of your mind," She said in an amazed voice. Then she looked at Commander Fin and grinned, "Survival training or hand to hand combat?"

Fin laughed, "I knew you would do this for me. As for the training, it will probably be both. You leave in the morning, with, as you called them, the dynamic duo and a few others. I know, I know you work alone, but not this time. This is too dangerous and there is too much at stake. By the way, you have my blessings; Vince is a good guy. Now go, you have a lot to do. You leave at 5:00 a.m."

Dawn groaned, "You know I'm not a morning person." She paused and asked "What do you mean I have your blessings? Nothing, I repeat, nothing is going to happen with Vince and myself, he's a jerk." With that said she apperated back to 'Heaven on Earth'.

"We leave at 5:00 a.m., TransAir, don't be late." Dawn stated as she picked up her gym bag and left three bemused men staring after her.

Ethan looked at Vince staring after Dawn, "Well I guess this means she's going to help us. But I think she's going to fight you tooth and toe nail."

Varian started laughing and the twins, having forgotten that he was in the room, looked at him. "She's not only going to fight you tooth and toe nail, but she's going to make your life a living hell. That is one strong-minded, independent woman." Then he looked at Vince, "I wasn't kidding when I said that you are the first person (man or woman) that she couldn't defeat in hand to hand combat. Why do you think I'm tagging along on this little trip? You're already head over heels for her, and she is not going to make it easy."

Vin looked at Ethan and Varian's grinning faces and groaned.
