Hey guys again it's been a while, but I found my notebook! Yay! So now I have all my ideas right here! Woot! Woot! But I don't quite remember everything that went on in MY story haha and I'm not in the mood to read it over so just let me know if anything is off or anything. So on with the story! Oh and by the way I don't own Harry Potter or any of its characters but I do own the 3 characters that I've added. Danielle Dumbledore, Emily Standford, and Catadora Tonks.

"Danielle you are NOT going to Hogwarts! Do you hear me!"

"Yes, I am mother. I'm not just going to sit around and wait for something to happen! I'm going to do something! I've known Snape almost my whole life and now for him to do this! To betray us! To kill MY grandfather! His supposed mentor! NO! I won't have it! I'm going and that's it!"

Danielle's mother looked at her in complete horror.

"I don't want you to go and get yourself hurt. Snape has banned together with he-who-must-not-be-named. He's a lot more dangerous than you could ever imagine…"

"I'll be fine mom. I already got everything set up with Minerva. She figured out a way for me to go without causing too much ruckus."

"And what way is that?"

"She set up a foreign exchange student program, so I won't be the only new person attending this year. And I'll be safe inside the walls of Hogwarts with all those amazing wizards and witches watching over me. Especially with the spirit of grandpa guiding me. And to top it all off Emily is coming with me"

"EMILY!"

"She's always wanted to go to Hogwarts…"

"That's only because of Harry!"

"I know that you would have done the same mom"

"I really wish that you would reconsider."

"I'm sorry mom, I can't. Emily and I leave tomorrow and head straight for Diagon Alley; we still have all our supplies we need to get.

AT THE BURROW:

With the turmoil of Harry's scar fright over, they heard a commotion coming up the drive-way to the burrow.

"OH DEAR! I completely forgot that they were coming!" screamed Mrs. Weasley in horror.

"Forgot who was coming…?" asked Hermione.

"Tonks! And her sister," said Mrs. Weasley realizing that she hadn't done anything to tidy the house or welcome them.

"Tonks has a sister…?" said Ron skeptically.

"Wicked!" echoed Fred and George.

Than there was a knock at the door and you could hear a heated argument going on, on the other side.

Mrs. Weasley went and opened the door and without saying hello or anything in stormed Tonks and her sister. Tonks was her usual self with her short bright pink hair and her loose fitting clothes, whereas her sister looked to be just about the opposite. She was somewhat short, about 5'3", had long wavy brown hair, striking green eyes, and wore tight fitting muggle attire, jeans and a t-shirt.

"URRGG! You know that I HATE being called Nymphadora and yet you continue to do it!" screamed Tonks at her, what appeared to be 17 year old sister.

"Well how do you think I feel? With you calling me Catadora all the time! You know I hate it! And I've asked you numerous times to call me Cat and yet you can't seem to do that either!"

"HOLD IT!" screamed Mrs. Weasley to stop the fight.

"Oh I'm very sorry about all this Molly. Me and my sister seem to get into some pretty heated rows from time to time," stated Tonks.

"About your names…?" questioned Ron.

"How would you like to be called Nymphadora?"

"OR Catadora?" added Cat.

"Good point," finished Ron.

"Well Molly I'm sorry to just drop in like this and leave my sister but I really have to be going. Urgent business with the ministry you know," said Tonks.

"Oh yes, no problem at all, Cat will be perfectly fine with us here. We will see you another time," said Mrs. Weasley.

Once Tonks had left and everyone got over the after shock of the fight and everything Mrs. Weasley decided to introduce Cat.

"Everyone this is Cat, Tonks's sister. She's going to be staying with us until the start of term because there is a foreign exchange student program this year at Hogwarts and this young lady is apart of it. Well I'll leave you to tell them about it and yourself, I need to finish breakfast." And with that Mrs. Weasley walked out of the family room and back into the kitchen.

"Well, ummm…, I'm Cat as you know and I came from Beauxbatons. I…"

"Beauxbatons is very selective about who they take in. If I'm not mistaken they only take French girls into their school," interrupted Hermione very matter of factly.

"You're mistaken," said Cat calmly.

Hermione who was once smiling with glee after her statement scowled at the fact that Cat thought that she could talk to her like that.

"Well as I was saying, I'm from Beauxbatons and I joined the foreign exchange student program because I thought it would be fun. And the only reason that I attend Beauxbatons is because they take in young witches and wizards that they believe to have true potential and talent," stated Cat as she looked at Hermione with a smirk on her face.

At that very moment Mrs. Weasley stormed in, in a slight panic.

"I completely forgot about the things that you all will need for the new year! Well, we are certainly going to have to make time to get down to Diagon Alley to pick up all you supplies," said Mrs. Weasley. "Well I guess we will just have to go tomorrow."

THE NEXT DAY:

Danielle packed her things and was almost ready to leave when out of no where she burst out crying. She was in such a raw state of horror and dismay when she realized that her grandfather had been murdered that she had never really mourned his death, and if finally hit her like a freight train.

"Pull yourself together. I need to stay strong."

"Danielle…?"

"I'll be right down!"

Danielle wiped her tears and checked her face to make sure there were no signs of her crying. She grabbed all of her things and ran downstairs, and spent a few minutes with her mom before Emily arrived and they apparated to Diagon Alley.

AT THE BURROW:

"Rise and shine! Come on! Up! Up! Up! We have to get to Diagon Alley!" screamed Mrs. Weasley at the children.

Hermione being an early riser was already awake and ready to go.

"Hermione, would you be a dear and run upstairs and wake up Ron. I swear the boy sleeps as if he were a rock!"

Hermione laughed, "No problem Mrs. Weasley."

Hermione ran upstairs to Ron's bedroom. She wanted to revel in this privilege because she has the opportunity to scare the living daylights out of Ron because she knows that he will not be expecting her to be in his room this early in the morning. Its happened before in their fourth year and Hermione had to hold back the impulse to laugh at him so badly.

She walked into his room to see him sprawled out all over his entire bed as if there were more than one of him. She laughed quietly and walked up to the side of his bed. She found a little nook where she could sit moderately comfortable.

"Ron, Ronald, wake up." She whispered. And she received no response.

"RONALD!" she yelled in his ear and shook him vigorously.

"BLOODY HELL! Hermione what's the matter!"

"Nothing, you're mum just told me to come and wake you up because, and I quote, 'you sleep like a rock.'" She laughed.

"Haha very funny. I'm up, are you happy? I'll be downstairs in a few."

AN HOUR LATER:

"Alright is everyone ready to go? Everybody have their lists? Okay I think we are ready. Lets get a move on, we don't have all day you know!" said Mrs. Weasley to the children.

Not too much later, they arrived in Diagon Alley and were again amazed by everything it always had to offer. And then they were all off buying everything that they needed for the new school year at Hogwarts.

About an hour later they had all finished their shopping and Hermione, Ron, Harry, Ginny and Cat had all decided that they all deserved a much needed trip to the three broomsticks for a nice warm butterbeer.

They were inside enjoying themselves for all of about 5 minutes when Ron spotted a familiar figure that he hated, the figure of Draco Malfoy.

"WHAT IN THE BLOODY HELL IS THAT STUPID GIT DOING HERE? HE THINKS THAT HE CAN JUST PRANCE AROUND AFTER WHAT HE TRIED TO DO! OOOOOOH I'LL KILL HIM!" screamed Ron in a fit of rage.

Hermione grabbed him by the arm, "RON! Wait! He seems to be…scared? Or upset. I actually think he's crying…"

"Oh like I really care about the turmoil's of the man who tried killed Dumbledore and has been tormenting us for the past 6 years!" yelled Ron aggravated that Hermione was holding him back from beating the living crap out of Malfoy.

"Ron I really genuinely believe that something is wrong with him. And I know that he's a right foul git, but lets not stoop to his level, alright?" Hermione said to Ron trying to snap him out of the idea of mauling Malfoy.

Hermione decided that someone should go see if he was okay, and nobody wanted to so she elected herself.

She walked up to him and he didn't seem to see her. Then he noticed that someone was close and he gave a rather pathetic jump and slight squeal.

"Malfoy? Are you alright?" Hermione asked concerned.

"Hermione! You scared me. I'm a bit jumpy."

"I noticed," Hermione said with a slight chuckle.

Listen, I know I've been a real prat these past years at Hogwarts, but I could really use a friend right now. A REAL friend. That is, if you'll have me?"

"Yeah I think you could use a friend. Do you want to come sit with us and tell us what's wrong?"

"I guess I could… they aren't going to try and kill me or anything are they?"

"No, I'll make sure that they don't try anything," Hermione said holding back a laugh.

Hermione walked with Malfoy over to the table with Ron, Harry and Ginny.

"Guys you all know Draco. Well he could really use a friend right now and he's going to tell us all what's going on with him. So don't try anything funny he's been through something really serious."

Harry and Ginny looked him over and just accepted it, whereas Ron was completely against the idea of befriending Malfoy. He despised him and nothing was going to change that in his mind. And Cat didn't really know who he was so she had no real opinion.

Draco sat down and Hermione got him a butterbeer and he told his story.

STORY:

The night that Snape killed Dumbledore, the night that Draco was supposed to kill him, Snape took Draco and reported back to Voldemort. Snape told him of how Draco had failed and how he had made the unbreakable vow with his mother that if Draco should fail that he would take over and kill Dumbledore. Voldemort was not happy with this at all. He had assigned the job to Draco and he had failed. He was not angry with Snape, because what else could he have done. It was something that needed to be done and he did it. Voldemort decided that he should torture Draco. He called Lucius and Narcissa to him. And with Draco, Lucius and Narcissa in his presence he killed Lucius for his son being a failure. And he killed Narcissa for bringing Snape into the job he had assigned to Draco with out his permission. He killed them right before Draco's eyes. He was completely terrified. Then he came for Draco, he didn't know what to do, he stood there frozen, when out of nowhere a band of aurors came and fought against Voldemort and the death-eaters, except for one who grabbed me and brought me into exile to keep me safe from Voldemort. It was Lupin.

"I never thought in a million years that Lupin would come for me because of well who I was. But he did. He said that he figured out what was going on and came to save us but he wasn't fast enough to save us all, but I'm still grateful. It's just been hard. My father was a raving man who followed Voldemort to any end and he made me follow in his footstep I really had no other choice, I didn't want to, really I didn't, but I had no other choice, he may have been a complete jerk but he was still my father and I loved him. And my mother, she was always there for me. She always stood up for me never wanted me in any danger. I loved her more than the air I breathe and that's what is making it really so very hard on me."

Everyone just stood there in shock they had no idea what to say. Even Ron was awe-struck. They didn't know whether they should feel sorry for him, if they should even believe him or what.
