(I'm going to try and wrap up Order of the Phoenix a little fast, I feel my efforts will be better shown once Half Blood Prince is started.)

Not long after Umbridge sack Trelawney, did she finally announce the members of the Inquisitorial Squad, Draco and I, along with Zabini, Crabbe, Goyle, Montague, Nott, and a few other Slytherins. We had reason to believe according to Umbridge, that Potter had been holding a sort of study group by one of Cho Chang's friends. I didn't particularly like the girl, so to my great pleasure, the word SNEAK appeared across her face in pimples when she ratted them out. We were told immediately to go catch them, and that's exactly what we did. I positioned myself at the right side of the hall, and Draco at the left, near the boys bathrooms, behind a rather hideous dragon vase. The others didn't matter so much as Potter, Draco and I saw him coming, but before I could even utter a word, Draco had performed a spectacular Trip Jinx. Potter slid painfully about six feet forward.

"Trip Jinx , Potter", he said. "Hey, Professor – PROFESSOR! I've got one!"

Stubby little Umbridge came bustling around the corner, "Good job Draco! 50 points to Slytherin!"

The rest of the year went surprisingly fast, and I felt very out of it. O.W.L.'s were over with before we knew it, and Lucius was captured by the Ministry, which threw Draco into a spiraling tornado of hatred.

Finally the day came when we were to be back at Malfoy Manor for the summer holidays, as I patrolled the corridors; I saw Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle advancing on Potter, blocking the hallway, I was trying to give him a chance to finally attack Potter, little to my knowledge, a group of "DA" members were waiting to strike themselves… in the end, the unfair duel left me trying to sort out how to undo the curses, until finally Narcissa came looking for us on the train, helping me sort out the counter jinxs.

A few weeks into the summer break, the Dark Lord came to call. He was still furious with Bellatrix, and so much with Lucius, that he assigned Draco and I a task. A most impossible task at that. Ashen faced as I glanced at the Dark Lord as he said, "You two are to kill Albus Dumbledore, and pursue careers as Aurors, we need Death Eaters to infiltrate that sect."

I gulped, and we both nodded, Narcissa was almost in tears.

"Thank you my Lord" , we said in fearful unison.
