The Riddle House
"Well?" a cold voice asked from behind the green armchair.
"Two rolls of parchment, full of names my lord."
"Perfect. Send in Lucius Malfoy, he shall be punished for what he told the ministry."
Hermione sat in the very back of the library, looking over her pro and con list, she just couldn't decide if she wanted to go undercover for the order. Draco had already said he would
"I'll get my father back in prison if it's the last thing I do!" had been his exact words.
She couldn't let him face a hundred Death Eaters, his father and Voldemort alone, but she had never gone on the mission before it was always Harry and Ron, her mind moved back to her conversation with Pansy earlier...
"Mya?" a sad voice broke Hermione's thoughts
"Hey Pans, how are you?"
Pansy broke into tears, "Pans what's wrong."
"I-I got t-the letter! So d-did Blaise!" Pansy sobbed,
"Draco and I got it too Pansy, don't cry you don't have to do it you know!" she had said trying to calm her friend.
"No, you don't understand! Blaise and I were destined to become Death Eaters, but our parents didn't want that life for us, so they fought Voldemort and his cronies. Hermione our parents died defending us! I can't let their deaths be in vain! Blaise already accepted. He said I shouldn't be taking so long."
"Pans take as long as you want, it's your life not his."...
Wasn't she in the same position as Pansy and Blaise? Her parents died to protect her too. Why should she let that sacrifice be in vain? Sure her destiny was to destroy the source, but the Order had already found out that Voldethingy was the new source, so did that mean she has to take over Harry's destiny and kill Voldemort?
She didn't know; the only thing she did know was that she had just made the most important decision of her life.
At 10:00 PM on Thursday Hermione, Pansy, Blaise and Draco found themselves seated at a round table in the potions classroom,
"Now you know why you have been called here" Dumbledore looked at them and one by one they nodded. "So I'll just get right to the point then, Miss Parkinson, Mr. Zabini and Mr. Malfoy you three are able to go without a concealment charm.
As you have all been on the Death Eater list since birth. Hermione unfortunately you will have to change your appearance completely. You will all be under a spell that will allow you to get the dark mark, but have no fear once this mission is over the spell will be lifted and the mark will disappear.
"You will have two moths of training, unfortunately this will stop you from going to any of your classes but we will grade you have no fear Hermione believe me when I say what you are learning with the Order is much more valuable! Anyway we have set up a dorm for you all away from the other students it is in a secret part of the castle. I believe it contains four rooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, a common room, a training room and a small library. Any questions?"
The four looked at each other shocked and Draco raised his hand. "Yes Mr. Malfoy?"
"Um...I was wondering-and I'm sure everyone is wondering the same thing... Did you um ever draw a breath when you said all that?"
Dumbledore laughed.
"Now if you'll follow me I'll take you to your new dorms." Snape said over his boss's laughter
The four stood and wished their headmaster a pleasant night. Not that he heard them for when he finally did stop laughing the room was empty.
Snape had taken them to the east side of the school, thought a portrait of the four founders he said the password (Phoenix) and they found themselves in a Muggle looking flat, strange enough Hermione's room found itself magically connected to Draco's. She wondered what the hell her grandfather thought they'd be doing!
The rest of the night went slowly. The four packed for their upcoming trip to the Halliwell manor, and they promised that this mission wouldn't ruin their Christmas break.
"Draco?"
"What's wrong Mia?"
Drawing her knees to her chest, she told him.
"It's Dumbledore! He gave me a piece of parchment saying that that was the spell I was looking for and its bloody blank! I mean why the bloody hell would I need blank parchment!"
Draco who sat silently though her outburst moved back a few inches (his girlfriend scared him!)
"Oh sorry." Mione said after seeing him move back she couldn't help nut smile. Draco hugged her "you really should calm down!"
"I know, I know it's just so hard he's toying with me, he wants me to find the spell myself and he has it!"
"Bloody hell Mia you're the smartest witch this century, you know you're going to find the spell eventually!"
Mione smiled at her boyfriend and pulled him into a very passionate kiss
"I love you, you know that right?"
"Yes, Draco I know. But it wouldn't hurt to tell me again"
"I love you." He said amusement in his eyes and voice. Hermione glanced around slowly, her expression becoming curious.
"So, weren't you going to get food or something?" she inquired nonchalantly. Malfoy grinned at her.
"Of course. It'll be up momentarily. You didn't think I would burden myself with Transporting food, did you?"
"Arrogant prick. You would never survive on your own without millions."
"I beg to differ."
"Oh really?"
"Yes. I wouldn't be able to survive on my own without you."
He said, smirking at her. She rolled her eyes.
"At least you admit your sexual dependence."
"As opposed to yourself, who won't even admit to anything sexual. Or monetary. But mostly sexual." badgered Malfoy, leaning over her sinuously. Hermione flushed bright red, and looked away quickly.
Draco saw this and smiled. Hermione looked up again and he took to kissing her (again)
