Chapter 58: Grim News

Note: Sorry about the mistake with Ron in Chapter 57, I tried to fix it, but I couldn't.

Voldemort had gathered most of his followers, but not all of them. All his werewolves were present along with several Death Eaters that were the main part of his circle. He knew the others had missions or were sick. He sometimes felt sick, but he let it go.

"I'm glad to sssee mossst of you here," he hissed at them. "However, I'm here to tell everyone wonderful newsss. Our ssspy inssside the ssschool hasss told usss that not only hasss ssshe managed to find out that our dear Mudblood Lupin is exssspecting, but that my plan hasss finally come to passs. Ssshe isss expecting and thisss ssshall be the end of the Weassly family being in Gryffindor."

Everyone cheered.

"Now your wondering why thisss isss ssso important to me," Voldemort went on. "By ruining the reputation of the Weassley family, by taking away their Gryffindor pride, I've ruined them without even touching them."

"What about you, Master?" one of them asked.

Voldemort grinned at him.

"I've ssuceeded in sssecuring an heir," he said. "Luciusss Malfoy has been taken care of and hisss wife is now mine. Narcisssa isss expecting."

Everyone cheered again and Voldemort felt deadly happy.

The first thing that Ginny got from Dumbledore was shock. Of course that matched how she felt when she saw the head of Moody in suspended water. Moody explained that Ron had discovered that Moody was spying on his dark activities and that he had been punished for seeing too much. He also mentioned that Ron had aided in the death of Lucius Malfoy and that not only was a spy inside Hogwarts but Narcissa was carrying the Dark Lord's child, since he thought that the first one was dead.

Dumbledore processed all this and then decided to hide Moody so that none of the other Order members would be scared.

"So how's Severus doing?" Dumbledore asked Poppy when the Order had gathered.

"Well," she said. "Though he might have to spend more then his usual time in the hospital wing."

Dumbledore nodded and then brought the rest of the Order to order.

"I've been told that Narcissa is expecting the Dark Lord's child and that we have a spy inside the school."

Everyone gasped.

"What are we going to do?" Remus asked.

"I don't know what we can do," Dumbledore said. "Lavender got help in escaping and she's not connected to Tom if you don't count the child. However, I'm worried that Narcissa relishes the attention that comes with being the mother of the next Heir of Slytherin."

"Is there anything we can do to stop the child from coming to Hogwarts?" Charlie said.

"I don't know," Dumbledore said soberly. "But I can have a talk with the governors."

"I hope they go along with it."

"Me too," Dumbledore said.

The next morning Hermione finally woke up and looking around she knew that she was in the hospital wing, but she didn't know why she was here. Madam Pomfrey appeared at once and checked her over.

"What happened?" Hermione asked.

"You got attacked by Umbridge," Madam Pomfrey said to her. "Are you alright Mrs. Lupin?"

Hermione blinked at her, confused.

"Mrs. Lupin," Hermione said. "What are you talking about?"

"Mrs. Lupin, don't you remember anything?"

Hermione stared at her and then shook her head.

"Hermione, your married to Remus Lupin," she told her.

Hermione gasped at her.

"I can't be married to him, he's my teacher," Hermione said.

"Um, Hermione, you are," Madam Pomfrey said. "Now excuse me, but I've got to let the Headmaster know about this."

And she left, leaving a very confused Hermione behind.

Professor Dumbledore was surprised when Madam Pomfrey appeared and told him that Hermione had amnesia. He worried that this might hurt Hermione's marriage to Remus.

"So she doesn't remember anything?"

"Well she remembers her name and that's about it," she said. "What do you want me to do?"

"Fill her in and I'll inform Gryffindor house of this," he said.

Madam Pomfrey nodded and then left.
