Chapter 11:
In the Forest
Hermione looked over the paper, Andrew Jack's report. It was a possible hiding place for a death eater who Hermione had never heard of. She was to meet him in the evening, Great meeting a death eater in the dark, perfect. Harry had given her the morning off, as he was the head of the department, Hermione didn't understand why Harry didn't just become Minister.
She sighed, she had hours to go and had no idea how to kill time. There was a knock on her door. Hermione opened her door.
"Ginny," Hermione smiled as the red head Potter entered her house.
"I though you'd be getting bored so I came over," Ginny smiled.
Hermione smiled.
"So guess what Hannah thinks she may be pregnant!" Ginny squealed.
"Wow!" Hermione laughed, "That's why she was eating so much yesterday!"
"Yea, she's going to St. Mungo's today," Ginny laughed.
"Well who would have guessed she'd be the first to have a kid!" Hermione smiled.
"Yea," Ginny replied.
"You and Harry, are you trying?"
"No, we're not trying, with the war, both of us will have to fight won't we. If I'm pregnant at the time, I won't be fighting or they might kill me…or Harry," Ginny stopped.
"Yea I get it," Hermione replied.
She sat with Ginny as they talked, the sun began to set at around seven. She was to meet Andrew Jack in an hour.

"So the plan is finalised?" Zabini asked the others.
They all nodded. Draco watched on, amused that they thought this could work.
"Jack is bringing that mudblood Granger, once she enters from around the corner, into the clearing in the forest, we'll kill her," Lotin grinned.
Draco's grin disappeared. Did they say Granger?

Hermione was on Flingingham Street, she waited for Andrew to turn up, this road was so isolated. There was a huge forest on the left of the road. The right was just empty, sandy. Maybe Andrew is right, this would be a good place for death eater to hide.
"Sorry," Andrew said as he apparated into the space behind her with Luna.
"Luna?" Hermione asked.
"Yea Harry sent me as well," Luna replied. "In case of pixies or tree nymphs."
Hermione nodded. Same old Luna.
"The hiding place is in the forest somewhere apparently, just off the path," Andrew said.
"Who's your source?" Hermione asked.
"You know I can't reveal that," Andrew replied.
"Fine, wands out," Hermione said as they entered the forest. Andrew led with Luna behind and then Hermione. The path was too small for anyone to walk in pairs.
"How far along is it?" Luna asked.
"Half a mile," Andrew replied.
Hermione walked behind them, keeping her eyes open. Suddenly, someone grabbed her, someone covered her mouth as she tried to scream, she saw Luna walk on as she was dragged into the forest.
"Stop fighting me Granger," a familiar voice said.
He put her against a tree, the space was tight.
"What are you doing Malfoy?" Hermione asked, her heart racing as she realised how close she was to him.
"Andrew Jack is a death eater," Draco whispered. Her hands were resting on his chest, there was no where else for them to move.
"WHAT? He is not! His mark…" Hermione began, he was so close to her. He didn't have his mask on or his hood up.
"The Dark Lord allowed him to hide it, to infiltrate the Ministry," Draco said quietly. "Look the first one who walks into the opening will die, make sure its him."
"Why are you telling me this?" Hermione asked, moving herself out of the space.
Draco shrugged his shoulder and apparated. Hermione ran back on the path, Luna was walking back on the path.
"What happened? Where were you?" Luna asked.
"Luna where's Andrew?" Hermione asked in hushed tones.
"Here I am," Andrew smiled.
"Oh good," Hermione smiled. "Come on let's continue. Luna your at the back."
Luna nodded as Andrew led the way.
"I think it's this opening, who wants to go first?" Andrew asked.

Draco and the others had their masks up and robes on.
"Where are they?" Zabini moaned.
"Quiet," Draco told them. "And keep in the shadows."
They all obeyed, even though technically Draco wasn't in charge of this one.
Draco moved into the shadows as Zabini mouthed instructions to everyone, as they heard foot steps. He raised his wand as someone entered the opening.
"Avada Kedavra!" Zabini shouted as green light erupted out of his wand. Draco's heart skipped a beat as Zabini ran over to the body.
"FUCK!" Zabini screamed.
"What?" Draco asked.
"It's Andrew Jack," Zabini spat.
"Split up, we can find the mud blood," Lotin said.
"She probably apparated out of here," Draco replied.
"It's worth a look," Lotin argued.
"FINE! LOOK!" Draco shouted. "YOU FAILED! LOOK AROUND IF YOU WANT IT WON'T CHANGE THAT!"
Lotin calmed down.
"Leave him," Zabini pointed to the death eater on the floor. "We need to get out of here before the aurors turn up."
Zabini looked at Draco.
"Yea to my Manor," Draco replied as they began to apparate.

Hermione had asked Andrew to go first, it turned out he didn't know the whole plan. Then she grabbed Luna and apparated to Godric's Hollow.
"What are you doing?" Luna asked when they arrived.
"What are you doing here?" Harry asked as he ran into the living room from the kitchen. Ginny was on her tail.
"Andrew was a death eater," Hermione started.
"WHAT?" Harry screamed.
"He didn't have a mark, we checked it!" Ginny argued, "We check everyone."
"No listen, the mark was hidden, Voldermort allowed it to be hidden so he can enter the ministry." Hermione explained.
"How do you know?" Luna asked.
"I heard it," Hermione lied. "When I was at Malfoy Manner, they were whispering about it, I couldn't remember clearly but it was about him, it was about Andrew Jack. Harry I swear he's a death eater. Tonight was a trap!"
"I believe you," Harry said. "Do you think they've taken the body with them?"
"Death Eaters leave the fallen behind," Ginny said.
"Yea they do, everyone except Malfoy," Harry muttered.
"He's odd isn't he," Luna said.
"Yea he is," Hermione sighed.
"We have to go check the body," Harry said.
"What if the death eaters are still there?" Hermione asked, wishing she had asked Malfoy some more questions.
"Give it an hour and then we'll go," Ginny looked at Harry.
"Half an hour," Harry said.
They all nodded.
"I'm going to send an owl to Rolf, he'll might think a Ekek has abducted me!" Luna said heading to the owls upstairs.
"What's an Ekek?" Hermione asked.
"A flesh eating humanoid apparently," Ginny said. "She told me last week, she thought Rolf had spotted one."
"How did she become an auror?" Harry asked.
"Just because she believes in Ekek's and stuff doesn't mean she isn't smart," Ginny told Harry.
"Yes fine," Harry was defeated. "I can't believe Andrew was a death eater, bastard."
"I know, he was always quiet," Hermione recalled.
"It just makes me wonder if there are any more," Harry muttered. "Dumbledore would have known a spell to find out."
"Or a potion," Hermione jumped up. "I can make a potion that reveals any hidden marks!"
"Hermione does that exist?" Ginny asked.
"Yea I have a book at home," Hermione smiled. "I was reading it a few days ago…where did I put that book!"
"At least we have something," Harry sighed.
"Harry its been half an hour," Ginny said.
"LUNA!" Harry called.
"Coming!" Luna called as she ran into the living room. "Is it time to go?"
Harry nodded, "Hermione you remember the exact location?"
"Yes," Hermione replied. "Everyone hold on."
They all held onto Hermione as she apparated them all onto the path.
"Its there," Hermione pointed to the opening.
Harry led the way as they slowly as they walked over to the opening.
The pale body of Andrew Jack lay in the centre. Harry walked over to the body and lifted his left arm.
"He has a mark," Harry muttered.
"I thought it was hidden!" Hermione said.
"Must surface when the person dies," Harry replied. "Die as a death eater."
"I can't believe this!" Ginny said.
"Nor can I," Luna agreed.
"Hermione you need to find that potion as soon as you can, and make it, we need to test everyone," Harry said.
Hermione nodded, "So I better go home now."
Harry nodded, "Luna you better go home to know."
"What about the body?" Luna asked.
"I'll take it and leave it outside his house, his wife must know he's a death eater," Harry said bitterly.
They all nodded and apparated to their separate locations.

Draco was summoned. It had been an hour after the encounter in the forest and he had to go to Voldermort's Manor. He flooed in.
"Go in Master Malfoy," the house elf said.
Draco entered the room again.
"Zabini failed," Voldermort snarled, he was facing Draco, who was wearing his death eater robes and mask.
"Yes my Lord, he did," Draco replied.
"I expected him to fail," Voldermort replied.
Draco didn't say anything.
"To show you, no one can lead them like you," Voldermort said. "Along with Severus you are my most trusted death eaters."
"I know my Lord," Draco said.
"The attack on you did not weaken you, Lotin said you took command after the…miscalculation."
Draco nodded.
"The final war is upon us, before the year ends Potter will die," Voldermort said. "My reign will dominate."
Draco nodded.
"Will you be by my side?"
"Yes My Lord I will fight for you," Draco said. I don't have a choice.

Hermione returned home, she went through every book looking for the potion. She couldn't find it.
"Where did I see it?" She asked aloud.
Then it hit her. Malfoy's dungeon.
Great.
He helped me today, what are the chances he'll help me twice?
X X X X X X
Draco sat in his kitchen drinking. You trust me Voldermort because you know you can. I work for you because I have no choice.
Today, was a disaster…Granger…her face, she wasn't afraid of me today…why did I help her?
