Chapter 11
"Ah Mia you're home, what would you like for tea tonigh...oh hello Potter" We had just walked through the door, dad didn't realise I had Harry with me so was rather shocked to see him standing beside me.
"Professor." Harry gave him a curt nod. Dad looked him up and down, a twinkle in his black eyes.
"So my Hermione has told you her story has she? I assume you took it well?" He gave a little smirk.
"Considering I am standing before you sir, I would say I took it rather swimmingly. At first I found it hard to take in and I was hurt that Hermione did not tell me sooner but I understand why she did keep it from me."
I then proceeded to pull Harry into the lounge and sat down on one of the sofa's.
"So Harry, what do you know about Sirius Black?" I asked, I could see dad coming round the corner with a tray of drinks and snacks.
"Not a lot really, all I know is that he escaped from Prison. Correct?" He gave me a quizzical look.
"That is correct, but apparently he is the one that sold your family out to Voldemort" Harry's face darkened I could see the anger stricken across his face.
"That is a lie." Both me and Harry looked towards dad, "Black was best friends with your father, Potter, I may not have liked him but he was not the one who sold you and your parents out to Voldemort. It was Pettigrew that sold you out. I don't know how he got the information. Everyone believed it was Black that was their secret keeper but obviously not. Black is your Godfather you know Potter. The reason he got put in Azkaban is because he cornered Pettigrew in a muggle street. Apparently blew up Pettigrew and 12 muggles at the same time." Dad sat down on one of the sofa's across from us.
"So Pettigrew is dead? And Black has gotten the blame for my parents death?" Harry said slowly.
"Yes and no. Yes Black has gotten the blame for your parents death but no Pettigrew is not dead. No one can be blown up and leave just their finger behind. I think Pettigrew is an unregistered Animagus, allowing him to escape, cutting off his own finger to leave as proof that he is dead." Dad lent back in the chair, grabbing a biscuit.
"Then we must find him! Bring him to the Ministry so that he can be thrown in Azkaban and Black can be set free." Harry stated.
"Honestly Harry I don't think we should. Think about it, you're still in school, if Pettigrew is still out there then surely he will come looking for you to finish off you know who's deed. I say you just sit still and everything will come to you." Harry just stared at me. " Think about it Harry, even when you're not looking for trouble, trouble usually finds you. So stay low and don't go looking for Pettigrew."
"Fine, but I'm only doing this for you 'Mione." Harry then proceeded to grab a biscuit and lean back on the sofa.
We sat in silence for about five minutes until the floo sounded. Dad got up to go see who was trying to enter our home, Dumbledore and Draco are the only ones allowed to just floo in straight away, Everyone else has to wait to get permission to come in. I looked to the daw curiously.
"Lucius, what do I owe this pleasure" Dad said rather loudly. I quietly yelped and ushered Harry to grab the plate of food and drinks and then rushed up stairs.
"Why did we just run up here Hermione?" Harry asked in a whisper. "Because Lucius doesn't know about me. So whenever he comes over in the summer I always have to go upstairs and stay quiet. He is part of You Know Who's inner circle, we can't let him know about me." I replied back, dumping the food on my desk in my room and moving closer to the stairs so I can listen in. Harry followed suit.
"Severus I need to ask you a few things." Lucius' voice floated up to us. "To begin with I want to know if Draco can spend the rest of his Summer here. Life at home is getting pretty rough and I know he is happy when he is here" I gave off a quiet yes and Harry shook his head at me smiling.
"Of course, you know Draco is always welcome here." Dad replied.
"I also would like you to get me a meeting with Dumbledore" Lucius said rather quietly.
"Why would you need a meeting with Dumbledore?" Dad asked.
"You may find this hard to believe, but I am finding it more and more difficult to be on the dark side. As Draco grows older I don't want him to grow up in a world full of hate. I want him to have a free life where nobody judges him because of his father and I want him to make his own choices and love who he wishes to love. If you haven't guessed already, I wish to become a spy for the order and move to the light side." There was silence, I guess dad is trying to figure out whether he is telling the truth or not.
"Very Well Lucius, I shall speak to Dumbledore. I hope you don't mind going under veritaserum so that we know you are telling the truth?" Dad asked. "Of course I don't mind. I drank some before coming here as to tell you the truth and nothing but the truth. But now I must be going, I will Send Draco over shortly." The sound of the floo went again and I knew that Lucius had gone, I stood up and made my way downstairs with Harry following me.
"Well that was unexpected" I said plopping down on the sofa in the living room. Harry nodded.
"And what the hell is the Order?" he asked. I just shrugged.
"Yes that was unexpected and the order is something that you two should not know about yet." Our faces formed into frowns. "Anyway time to make tea, looks like we will be cooking for four tonight. Or shall we just order take out?" Dad asked walking into the lounge. At the mention of take out, both mine and Harry's face's formed into grins"
"I Could go for takeout" Said a new voice from the door. I turned to see who it is and jumped up in joy.
"Draco!" I screamed hugging him. He laughed. "Calm down Mi you only saw me the other day!"
"I know but I still missed you. Harry is here so be good!" I said with a stern voice. "When am I never good?" I just rolled my eyes.
Harry stood up and walked over to us. I held my breath. "Good to see you again Malfoy" Harry said, holding out his hand. "Likewise Potter" Draco took hold of Harry's hand and shook it. "Thank you, for taking care of Hermione, while I couldn't do it in school" Draco said with a sincere look on his face.
"The pleasure was all mine Malfoy." I smiled at the two. So glad my two best friends were getting along.
