Chapter 39

A/N: Okay so maybe the last chapter was kind of a fill in. But hey it's better than nothing right?

"Welcome everyone to our meeting."

It had been more than a week after Pansy's party and Hermione was still coping. Even her school work was declining. She couldn't really care less. She was too busy thinking about a certain Slytherin.

"As everyone is aware there is only one more week before the beginning of the war." Dumbledore said in his superior tone. Everyone nodded in agreement, that is everyone but Hermione.

"THERE'S BEEN AN ATTACK!!!"

Out of nowhere, Neville came bursting through the great hall doors.

Everybody rose from their seats to see what all the commotion was about.

"Mr Longbottom, what is the meaning of this intrusion?" Dumbledore asked sounding worried but pissed off at the same time. (A/N: I know that's kind of out of character but hey it's funny to think he'd ever be pissed off, and plus it's my story)

Neville was still leaning over with his hands on his knees trying to breathe.

"There's… been… an… attack" He spat out the last bit as if that was all the energy he had left.

He then held out the daily prophet.

Dumbledore snatched it from him. "How did you get this, the post doesn't come until tomorrow?"

Neville went red in the ears. "My grandma sends the daily prophet early. Thinks it's important I know what's happening in the wizarding world."

Dumbledore then nodded and read over the front page. And sure enough there in front of him was a picture of two people in body bags with muggle police men working around them.

"Read it out loud Albus." Mrs Weasley called out impatiently.

Dumbledore then pushed his spectacles up a tad to get a better view and read it out loud.

"NEWS FLASH.

Last night at the late hours two muggles were killed unmercifully by he-who-must-not-be-named. Their mangled bodies were found in their home by a neighbour that night when they came home and noticed a broken window. After knocking a few times the individual entered the premises to see a gang of hooded figures. The neighbour asked them what they were doing in the house but they did not answer and instead evaporated in to thin air. The neighbour has said "I walked in and they were all cheering at something. One of them sound like he was a snake. He was hissing. The only one that stood out for me was a blonde haired boy. He looked around 18, 19. He was cackling in a freaky voice. I'll never forget it." The muggle police men have given no statement of how this has happened, but we know exactly what happened. This may be a sign to show the return of he-who-must-not-be-named. The muggles found the deceased were those of Emma and James Granger."

Dumbledore stopped.

Hermione froze but quickly walked to the front of the table and snatched the paper off Albus. She scanned over it once more. This can't be happening. Mum… Dad.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

She let out a piercing scream and then fell in a heap to the floor.

Harry and Ron ran to her and picked her lifeless like body up.

"Take her to her dormitory boys." Dumbledore said in a sympathetic tone.

They both nodded and carried her to her room. All the way there people were giving them questioning stares. Some even thought she was dead.

That blonde haired boy couldn't possibly have been…

"Draco, come on we have to go."

Draco looked up at Josh puzzled. "What are you talking about it's only Thursday we don't have a meeting until this weekend."

Josh shook his head. "No, something has happened. Hurry up we can't be late… AGAIN"

Draco sniggered. "Fine then. But just so you know I was bloody starving."

Dinner had just started and Draco hadn't eaten all day.

Upon entering there were sparkles flying all over the place. "Have they started without us?" Draco asked confused.

"Ah, you are here." Voldemort slithered.

"If I may have everyone's attention." Everybody ceased their actions.

"I have decided to do a surprise attack to commence our up coming defeat." Everyone cheered everyone that is but Draco and Blaise. They looked at each other totally confused.

"Once we have done this, all will be scared. Both of the muggle and wizard world."

"Who is the target?" An eager death eater called out.

Voldemort rose from his throne. "I have decided on a muggle couple. It will signify that I will not only conquer the wizard world, but also the muggle world."

Everybody cheered in celebration.

"They are." Voldemort continued. "Emma and James Granger."

Draco nearly died.

NO FUCKEN WAY.

Draco made his way over to Blaise until finally they were standing next to each other.

"What the fuck are we going to do Blaise, that's Mione's parents."

Blaise shrugged. "There's nothing we can do."

"LET US BEGIN OUR ATTACK."

Everybody threw their hands up in triumph and followed the Dark Lord.

Draco and Blaise decided to fall back so they could head back and warn Hermione.

Quietly they tip toed back to the entrance until. "Going somewhere you two?"

Josh had been lurking in the shadows.

They both sniggered and instead followed the crowd.

Everyone took a hold of an old boot before apparating to the Granger's household.

All the way there Draco and Blaise were trying to figure out ways to send a message or warning until finally. "Blaise I have a plan. But there will be a major sacrifice. Can you stall that fucker Josh for ten minutes tops?"

Blaise nodded and done as Draco asked.

It was dark by the time they all arrived so as they entered the house all the lights were out.

"Find them." Voldemort hissed.

Everyone went their separate ways throughout the house to search for Mr and Mrs Granger.

Draco and Blaise bolted to the bedrooms.

They ran up a flight of stairs before finding a hallway. As they switched on the light they saw it had about three doors on each side.

They both looked at each other before splitting up and going through each door.

Draco however was trying his hardest to concentrate as he entered Hermione's room.

Oh my gosh I'm actually in her room.

"Draco, hurry the fuck up!" Blaise yelled snapping him out of his trance.

As each door slammed they quickened the pace hoping the next door would lead them to the Grangers.

Until finally they reached the last door.

They charged through it and found Crabbe and Goyle pointing their wands at their heads.

"Ah, so you two decided to join us huh?"

Draco took a step forward but then Crabbe pointed his wand at Draco. "I wouldn't do that if I were you."

Draco was somewhat surprised, but he had noticed over the past few months they had grown to think for themselves. Something he liked to give himself credit for.

Draco, Josh, Crabbe and Goyle came trudging down the stairs with their wands pointed at Emma and James' heads.

"Ah, I see the young ones have found our treasure."

Emma and James looked around the room nervously.

Voldemort then glided to the two frightened adults and eyed them over like they were a piece of filth.

"Any last requests before I end your pitiful life."

David went to open his mouth but was surprised when Blaise came out of nowhere and kicked him over.

"He doesn't deserve to speak to you Dark Lord. Just end their lives so we can celebrate."

Voldemort grinned evilly. "Yes, you are right. But I think that you and Draco deserve the honours of killing them."

Draco looked at Blaise sceptically, but nodded anyway.

They then lay Mr and Mrs Granger down.

Blaise and Draco looked at each other signalling they were ready.

"AVADA KEDAVRA."

Bright sparks shot of both their wands and went soaring at the Grangers who were screaming out in agony

Everybody cheered in celebration, even Draco and Blaise. Until they heard faint knock at the doors.

However Draco carried on cackling, even when the stranger entered.

"Let us leave!" Voldemort hissed. And with a swoop of everyone's cape they all vanished.

"Are you sure we done the right thing Draco." Blaise asked sceptically.

Draco patted his friend on the back. "Definitely."

A/N: Hi. So you like? Don't worry everything will turn out. Remember it's just a matter of faith. Ya'll know what to do. Press that little go button and hey presto REVIEW. Hehehe.
