Salvage

Chapter 9

Harry opened his eyes when the sun shine hit his face. He groaned as he opened his eyes. He sat up and put on his glasses. Harry looked up and saw the clock showed 06.00 am. Too early to be awake since today was Saturday. He lied down in the bed, trying to went back to sleep.

Harry opened his left eye and sighed when the clock showed 06.30 am. Damn, he couldn't back to sleep. Harry jumped off the bed and went to the bathroom. He walked downstairs to the kitchen hoped to grab some breakfast but stopped on his track when he saw someone was standing in front of the window.

"Draco?" Harry frowned when he saw Draco jumped. Draco never jumped in surprise unless he was thinking so hard about something and when he did that, usually it wasn't a good sign.

"Harry..."

"What's wrong?" He asked, taking few step forward. Draco sighed and closed his eyes.

"We have a problem, Harry" he said. Harry frowned but the gasped when Draco pulled up his sleeve. He looked at Draco in horror.

"Draco, that's..."

"Death Eaters are having a meeting. They're up to something, Harry" Draco said, still looking at the Dark Mark. Harry took a deep breath and sat down on the sofa.

"Do you think they are looking for us? I for killed Voldemort and you for betrayed them."

"Possibly," Draco said, "I think it's clear that they want us but this is the first time this mark burns since the night of Hogwarts Battle. It seems last night they have their first meeting so they called the rest of death eaters"

"If that's true, right now they are kidnapping some people for some information about us or...something" Harry said, closing his eyes.

Harry bit his lip. It seemed they were too much into victory and happiness that forgot many Death Eaters were still out there. He watched as Draco palmed his face. There was a possibility that the Death Eaters would look for Draco's parents first since they were the ones who gave all information for the Order.

"Should we tell the girls?"

"Tell us what?" Harry turned their head and saw their girlfriends were walking toward them. Once they got closer, Arianna gasped when she saw the mark on Draco's forearm. She took a seat beside him immediately and stared at the mark in horror, tears began to fill her eyes.

"Hei hei..." Draco wiped the tears. He wrapped his arms around her as she buried her face into his shoulder. Ginny sat down beside Harry and leaned on his arm.

"What should we do?" Ginny asked, looking at Harry.

"We can't do anything except inform the Order about this." Draco said before he stood up.

"Where're you going?"

"I'm going to inform the Order. You're their main target, Potter, it'd be better if I am the one who go to the Order base, in case something goes wrong." Draco said before went upstairs to change his clothes. Arianna sighed before stood up to follow him.

"Draco..." Draco turned around. He smiled weakly when he saw Arianna was standing at the door, waiting for him. He walked to her and wrapped her small body in a warm embrace.

"Be careful" She said softly. Draco sighed and buried his face into her blonde hair. She worried about him, he knew. He closed his eyes as he remembered the first time he held her in his arms.

Flashback

"Arianna! Arianna!" Draco called as he looked around, desperately searching for a familiar blonde haired girl. He sighed and walked to the Great Hall, where the injured and dead people of light side of the war were being treated. He looked around and found his father was standing beside Kingsley Shacklebolt, conversing quietly about the war he guessed. He walked to them and caught the sight of his mother sitting down beside two unmoving people. His grey eyes showed sadness when he saw his cousin was lying there beside her husband.

"Mother" He whispered softly and wrapped an arm around Narcissa's form. He felt his mother sighed and looked up at him, offering a small sad smile.

"Are they dead?" Draco felt his mother dhook her head.

"No, they are just unconcious. They have serious injures but they're still alive." Draco kissed his mother cheek.

"Mother, did you see Arianna?" He asked. His mother didn't say anything but she turned to a certain direction. He followed his mother' eyes and saw Arianna was crying in her father's arm. He looked at his mother and stood up when Narcissa gave him a nod.

Draco stood up and made his way quickly to her. Arianna, sensing his eyes on her, looked up and flew into his arms. Draco held her as she cried hard and buried her face on his chest. Draco looked at Evan Danvers and he saw a deep grieve in his face. Draco's eyes moved to the floor and bit his lip.

There on the floor beside other dead bodies, lied the rest of Danvers family. Arianna's mother, Evelyn Danvers, was lying beside Stephen and Daniel, Arianna's brothers.

"They're gone, Draco. G-Gone" She sobbed.

"Hush..." He whispered softly.

"They leave me" She continued.

He tightened his hold on Arianna's crying form as he closed his eyes. His opened his eyes and they swept the Great Hall. Weasley family was in great grieved as they found Fred's dead body among the victims. He saw his father patted Arthur Weasley's shoulder and his mother stood up beside Ginny, looking sad as well.

His eyes turned to the Golden Trio once they entered the Great Hall. He watched as Ron walked into the Hall first and suddenly ran to his family, crying as he saw one of his brother was lying dead on the floor. He nodded to Harry as he walked passed them before looked down to his still crying girlfriend.

End Flashback

"Don't worry; I will be "He said, trying to convince her. Arianna looked up at him and slowly leaned up to press a sweet kiss on his lips.

"Promise me" Draco looked at her in the eye before gave her a sweet kiss.

"I promise"

"Draco, can you give these letters to Mum and the others?" Ginny said, handing him a pack of letter. Draco nodded.

"I will back in few days" Draco said before walked out and apparated to his destination.

"Is something wrong? I saw Draco leave" Luna asked, looking at her family. Harry gave her a small smile that didn't reach his eye.

"Harry, tell me"

"Let's sit down first." Harry said, walking to the sofa and took out his glasses. Arianna grabbed Luna's hand and slowly made their way to here Harry sat.

"Bad news, Luna."

-Jacob's house-

Jacob was still sleeping when Billy knocked on his door. He gave a groan as a respond when his father yelled for him to wake up. Jacob covered his ear with a pillow and drift to his precious dream land once more.

"Jake! Wake up, you sleepy butt!" Someone was pulled the pillow away from his ear and a bucket of cold water was thrown to his face.

"What the hell!" Jacob sat up immediately and glared at his two best friends who were laughing at his misery.

"Come one Jake, let's go cliff diving!" Embry said, pulling him out of the bed.

"No!" He whined, "Today is Saturday and we had patrol until dawn. I want to sleep so get out you two!" Jacob said, pushing Embry and Quil to the door.

"But Jake, this is 11 o'clock already and we're bored. Come one!" Jacob rolled his eyes as Quil gave him a pathetic pout.

"No. If you're bored, then go cliffs diving without me!" He said before closed the door and lied back on the bed. He was about to closed his eyes when he heard Quil and Embry grumbled outside. He rolled his eyes.

"Jacob is stupid, isn't he?" Embry's voice was heard.

"Yes, he is. It is such a nice beautiful day."

"Hmm... this so called Beta man isn't romantic at all. I mean, this beautiful day to ask someone out for a date even it's just a walk on the beach." Now Jacob was surely listening.

"Let's go to Luna's house. I'm sure she's dying to have a nice walk today and since her boyfriend doesn't have any talent as a romantic boyfriend, she will leave him soon and dates me" Embry said.

"No, she will date me not you. I'm more good looking than you" Jacob jumped out from his bed and opened the door, ready to beat those idiots. He watched as they ran out the door and disappeared to the forest.

"I will kill those idiots!" He said before ran after them.

Luna was sitting on a swing while staring at the flowers Hermione, Arianna and Ginny had planted at the backyard. It had been hours since she sat there alone but she didn't care. Her usually dreamy mind was trying to progress what Harry had told her this morning. Death Eaters were back. Her friends were in danger.

She sighed. Her mind flew to what had happened to her in pass few years. Nice years living with her father after her mother died turned to challenging full of scared once she entered Hogwarts and worst when Umbridge came than the death of the most respected wizard and end in a great war that destroy her second home. Now, after finally got a chance to live peacefully with someone she cared about, the news from Harry ruined it.

Jacob ran after his friend who was ready to knock the big house and smacked both of them on the head. They yelled in pain and Jacob felt a strange satisfying feeling in his heart. He knocked the door and put on a bright smile, in case Luna was the one who opened the door.

Five minutes passed and no one opened the door. Jacob frowned and knocked again. No answer. Jacob ran to the side of the house and climbed the tree to peek in Luna's room. No sign of blonde head.

"No one homes, Jake" Embry said, peeking around. Jacob walked around the house, trying to catch a glimpse of one of the wizards. He walked to the back of the house and saw Luna was sitting on a swing under the tree meters from the house. He smiled and skipped to the quiet girl.

"Luuuuunnnnaaaa!" Jacob cursed loudly when Luna jumped in surprised. She glared at him and he put on an innocent look.

"It's not me" He said, pointing to a certain direction where Embry and Quil ran to them. Jacob smiled when Luna's face lit up. She stood up and immediately crushed by two shape-shifters.

"Oh... we miss you, Lu-Lu" Embry said. Jacob frowned when he heard weird nickname his best friend gave.

"Let her go, you idiot. You're crushing her. And don't call her Lu-Lu, that's very ugly nickname." Jacob said, pushing them away and wrapped Luna's little body in a possessive hug. Luna giggled.

"It's alright, Jake. I think it's cute" Luna said.

"HA!" Embry said smugly. Jacob glared at him and looked down. Luna was looking at him with her beautiful baby blue eyes. He smiled and leaned down for a kiss, ignoring kissy-kissy voice the other two teens made.

"How did you find me?" Luna asked, caressing his cheek.

"I knocked the front door but no one answered, I climbed up the tree beside your room but you were not there so I circled the house and found you day dreaming here."

"Jake, you should press the bell on the wall instead of knock the door." Luna said patiently.

'Right... a bell. Silly me, this is a big house, no one would hear if someone knock the door.' Jacob nodded.

"And secondly, I'm not daydreaming. I'm thinking." Luna said, leaning her heard onto his hard chest while her eyes eyeing Embry and Quil who were busying themselves with the swing.

"What are you thinking about?" Jacob asked, sitting down on the grass and pulled her onto his lap.

"Something."

"What's it? You can tell me you know" Jacob held her closer. He buried his face onto her long blonde hair, taking a familiar scene of her shampoo.

"There's a chance that Death Eaters is planning something. You know, not all Death Eaters were caught after the war. Many of them are in hiding now. Draco found out that the remaining Death Eaters were having a meeting and possibly will attack Wizarding World once again"

"Don't worry, they will be caught. You defeated them once and will defeat them again if they attack. Why? Well, old people always say because good is always defeating the evil. Just like your friend, Harry, a good guy who defeated the bad guy, Voldemort."

"I'm afraid, Jake." Jacob lifted her face up. His eyes bored into hers.

"Everything will be alright. If they come here, don't worry, I will protect you. I don't care if they have powerful wand or do their wand less magic or can disappear into thin air, I will protect you, I promise." Jacob said seriously. Luna smiled. She leaned up to kiss Jacob...

CRASH!

Luna's head snapped to the sound. Her eyes widen on the sight of Embry and Quil on the ground with her precious swing fell down from the tree. Her eyes narrowed and she stood up.

'How dare them breaking my precious swing! I begged Draco to build it for me for days!'

"You stupid shape-shifters!" She snapped. Embry and Quil stood up immediately and looked scared as well as guilty.

"Lu-Lu, don't worry, we will fix it" Quil said.

"Yeah, yeah! Come come Quil" Embry said, holding the rope and climb up the tree. Quil and Embry tried desperately to fix the swing.

"There!" They said proudly. Jacob snickered when he saw the bad result of their work. The swing wasn't as good as before. The wood to support the person who sat there was leaning to an awkward an rope was one short and one long since Embry didn't measure them and just tied them carelessly.

"Um..." Embry began, glancing at Quil for help.

"Luna, lunch is ready! Bring those boys with you!" Ginny voiced was heard. Luna sighed.

"Let have some lunch" She said, grabbing Jacob's hand and walked to the house.

"You're not angry, Lu-Lu?" Quil asked, keeping up the love couple.

"No"

"Why don't you fix it with you wand?" Jacob asked.

"If you can do it yourself, why use magic? Beside it's art thing." Luna said. 'Art thing?' Jacob smiled and kissed her cheek.

"I'll fix it for you after lunch" Luna smiled.

-Grimmauld Place12, Order of the Phoenix meeting-

"What should we do?" Lupin asked. The Order was having a meeting as soon as Draco barged into Prime Minister office, something that almost made him dragged out the Ministry.

"I will send the Aurors to check some places and for the member of the Order, you will check in some places that more dangerous because you have more experience against Death Eaters" Kingsley said.

"Who do you thing behind this?" Tonks asked. Her face was pale, worried that the next war would happen.

"How many Voldemort faithful servants that escaped after the war?"

"Many of them. Rodolphus Lestrange and Fenrir Greyback were among them." Lupin said, messaging his temple.

"They must be the ones behind this." Kingsley sat down.

"Should we send someone to live with Mr. Potter? I know that he's capable to protect himself. Not to mention he has his friends there but maybe just in case." Kingsley asked. Lupin looked around.

"Who?"

"Remus, Harry will be mad if we do that. You know him. He doesn't want anyone to do everything for him. Remember when we had to move him from Dursley's house last year?" Tonks said.

"I agree. We should investigate this first before we send someone to protect Harry. Who knows that maybe we could capture Death Eaters before they even make a move to go after him." Bill said.

"Fine. Meeting ends then" Kingsley said. The members sighed. Their mind absolutely went to their family. They hoped no more war.

"Remus, do you think we make a good decision?" Tonks asked. Lupin looked at his wife and wrapped his arms around her.

"I hope so, dear. I hope so"

-Riddle Manor-

"Lestrange, what now?" Fenrir Greyback asked rudely as he stepped into their Dark Lord's home. He had enough with Rodolphus Lestrange's useless ideas.

"Patient, Greyback! We have to plan it carefully!" Rodolphus glared at the werewolf.

"Let's just attack the Weasley's house! They will be there!"

"And how do you know that? The Order must have moved Potter to safer place. We forgot about that the stupid Malfoy boy. He must have told the Order that we had a meeting. Not to mention maybe Weasley Senior has moved his house since our attack last year" Rodolphus said. He was running out the idea to destroy all the Order members and if possible along with their family and of course the Boy-Who-Live. The problem was they don't where they were.

"So, what now?" Greyback repeated his question.

"Do research about where the Weasley is. There's small possibility that Potter is there, but maybe we will manage to kill several blood traitors. That will catch Potter's attention and maybe we could use it as our advantages." Rodolphus said.

"Now, let's think where should we start?"
