When it was over Draco was back asleep, now safe in Harry’s arms. Harry soon followed.
**************
Draco and Harry both woke up to the shouting and pounding on the door, and Harry’s wand whacking them across the head.
“Coming” Harry yelled. ”Draco I need to turn you.” Harry then whispered to Draco as he turned him in to a cat.
“Harry, Harry! Open the door! Hermione don’t worry about it being organized and just pack it. HARRY!!!”
Harry raced to the door and threw it open. Ron was poised to pound on the door again. Harry didn’t even get a chance to speak before Ron was talking.
“They attacked the Burrow. Ginny’s been hurt. We’re leaving.”
“Go tell Hermione to change the logs and make it look like we got off at the last stop or the next stop, whichever is closer. Then finish packing. We leave in 20 minutes.” Harry turned and used his wand to start packing, much like Remus had done at the end of his 3rd year.
“Ok.” Ron turned and left.
“I’m sorry Draco but I’m going to have to leave you as a cat for a while. Deatheater’s attacked the Burrow, we have to go.” Draco just meowed and sat on the bed watching Harry scramble to get everything packed, his eye sight only slightly blurry.
It was 10 minutes later when Hermione popped in.
“Ok Harry I hacked in and changed the logs. It will look like we got off the ship in Portugal.”
“Good work `Mione….When did you learn to Hack computers?”
“What do you think I do during summer break? Not only school work.”
“Right. Come on lets go.”
When everything was piled up in the living room Hermione shrank it and put them in a backpack. Harry had a bit of a time getting Draco into the Cat carrier. He did NOT want to get in and Harry ended up with quite a few cuts on his hands.
“So we will Apparate back to France then to England. From there we can take the Knight Bus to Gimmauld Place. Everyone should be there when…”
“No, I have portkeys that will take us directly to Gimmauld. We can use one of them.” Interrupted Harry as he reached in his coat and pulled out a piece of yarn. Everyone got a hold of it when Harry murmured the activation word.
They felt the familiar pull and spinning of it moments later. It was a little disconcerting to know that they were flying over an ocean, but it wasn’t long before they were falling into the back yard of Gimmauld Place.
The house was lit up and they could hear people in the kitchen as they walked up the back steps. When they opened the door they had no less than 10 wands aimed on them.
“Remus we didn’t expect you until morning. Kids go upstairs, Ginny’s fine but Mrs. Weasley is a mess. Having all her kids near, or as many as she can will help calm her down. Please.” Stated Mr. Weasley as everyone lowered their wands.
“Thanks Dad, are George and Fred already up there?”
“Yeah, only Charlie and Percy are not here. Can’t get hold of Percy and Charlie is having an emergency with some of the Dragons.”
“Ok. Thanks.” Ron and Hermione headed to the stairs and went up as Harry stayed behind.
“You too Harry, Molly looks on you as another son.”
“I know that Mr. Weasley, but I want to know what happened first.” Replied Harry as he sat the carrier down on the table.
“We can brief you later. But right now just go up stairs….Where did you get a Cat at sea?” questioned Mr. Weasley
“That’s a long story Arthur and…..”Started Remus only to be cut short by a look Harry gave him.
“I found him at one of the Stops. He was wounded and I decided to take care of him. His name is Draco.” He was still looking at Remus.
Remus looked at Harry as if he were gauging him on something and then looked away.
“Harry has become VERY fond of that cat.” Was all the reply Remus made to the questioning looks he received from the other order members.
“Yes, I have. I want to be briefed when I return.” Harry left many stunned faces as he ascended the stairs.
******************
“He has changed so much so quickly. What happened to our warm Harry?” Questioned Tonks as she got up to hug Remus. Remus clung to her for a moment then let her go. But it was Moody who answered.
“He’s becoming the kind of person who will do what needs to be done to win this war. He’s facing massive loss and has to stand on his own. It will be him that destroys the Dark Lord and no one else. He’s becoming a killer.”
“Don’t be so dramatic Moody. He’s just morning the loss of Dumbledore. We all are.” Chided Mr. Weasley as he made room for Remus around the kitchen table. Moody just mumbled and took a swig from his flask, mechanical eye swiveling to look upstairs.
“So what happened?” questioned Remus as he got settled between Mr. Weasley and Tonks.
“Happened all so fast, much like the last time, no more than two or three Death Eaters. They blew up the work shed. Ginny was a little too close to it and some metal hit her in the back. Nasty bruises, cuts, and a few burns. Molly says nothing should scar though. Minor Burns on a few of us, and lots of cuts. Would have been worse if Fred and George hadn’t decided to stop by for dinner.” stated Tonks in a very businesslike tone.
“Those two boys of yours were right smart to summon their brooms like they did Arthur. Right smart. Wouldn’t have thought of it myself, and tag teaming the way they did was really nice. Great team they are. Never seen anything like it. Saved my arse they did. Had one running for his life, and got that little girl of yours right out of there. Real nice move they did. Real nice.” Commented one of the new members to the Order.
His name was Alexander Rain. His mother was a British Witch but his father was a muggle from the US. He was just a few years older than Fred and George, in his first year working for the Ministry. He worked in the same department as Arthur. His dark blond hair was a little too long making it look shaggy and unkempt and its waves were currently matted with sweat and mud from the fight. His pale green eyes were just a little too closely set, and when he smiled it was just a hair too big for his face. He was just a little out of proportion with everything on his body. But he more there was something about him that drew almost every female to him and a few males.
“Who was it?” The room was quiet
“We don’t know this time. No one I had ever seen before. I think they are from outside of England.” Stated Arthur.
“If the war is moving out side of England….we’re in trouble. Big trouble.” Whispered Remus.
**********
Harry opened up one of the spare bedrooms to find Ron and Hermione wrapped in Mrs. Weasley’s arms.
“Oh my dears I’ve missed you soooo much. Have you lost weight Ron? You two stayed in separate rooms didn’t you? Thank goodness you’re home safe and sound. Oh Harry there you are.” Mrs. Weasley didn’t waste any time in coming over to Harry and giving him a crushing hug. “You are still so skinny dear, did you have a good time? So sorry you had to leave your holiday, but don’t you worry, Ginny is going to be fine. She’s…..just…..a bit….banged….” She started to fall asleep right where she was standing.
“Mum why don’t you come and sit down on the bed.” Fred came and helped her over to the spare bed.
“Yes, thank you dear, I don’t know what’s…..come over me.” Her eyes were quickly closing but slow to open again. Fred tipped her back so that she was lying on the bed.
“Just Rest now Mum, things will be better in the morning.” Chimed George in a soft tone as he pulled the blankets up and tucked her in.
“Oh…I couldn’t….” her eyes closed one last time then didn’t open. After a few minutes soft snores were heard.
“Ok what did you two do to her?” chided Hermione
Harry chanced a look at the other bed and found Ginny fast asleep looking just a little worse for wear.
Both boys looked a lot more grown up at the moment, they ushered everyone out into the hall and closed the door.
“We put a sleeping draught in her tea about 30 minutes ago.” Started Fred as he led them down the hall into another spare room.
“She was going a little crazy, needed to calm down. Having the Burrow attacked twice has her really shaken up. When she found out Ginny was hurt she just kind of lost it. Wanted everyone near her.”
“She tried to get Charlie to come back home and when he said that he couldn’t she actually started to cry. That was when we called you guys.” It was Fred talking again.
“Bill was here earlier but had to get back, and no one has been able to get a hold of Percy. When Mum was told that, she really just lost it. Started to yell at dad and everyone, and no one could get her to calm down. So we told her that Ginny was scared and wanted her to be there while she slept. Which was only partly true, she just wanted to help.” George was leaning against the window frame looking out while talking.
“Mum raced up and hasn’t left the room since. We brought her up some spiked tea to try and get her to rest. But she fought it like the devil.” Fred was laying on one of the beds.
Most of the rooms now had two beds in them. With it being the Orders Head Quarters lots of people ended up staying there when they needed someplace safe for the night. Some days it was empty but for Harry, and others it was packed.
“So what happened?” Questioned Ron as he took up one of the chairs. Hermione sat on the floor leaning her head against Ron’s leg. He started to run a hand through her hair almost immediately. Harry almost smiled at it. He took up the other chair and took Draco out of the carrier. Placing him on his lap he started to pet him just for something to do.
“They came at sunset, no warning but you don’t really expect one when dealing with Death Eaters. But they didn’t Really try and hurt us either.” It was George who started, still looking out the window.
“What do you mean?” asked Harry hands still stroking Draco, who had curled up in a ball just listening.
“It was like they were just trying to scare us, most of the damage is property, not human. They were aiming curses at us but they were childish ones. Stunners, jelly legs, things like that. Not the deadly ones that you would expect.” Fred sat up. “It was….”
“Sounds like the kids have joined in the fight. Damn.” Stated Harry
“Exactly.” Fred and George said at the same time.
It was quiet for a long time. Everyone just taking it all in, trying to process it. Hermione had nearly fallen asleep when George spoke again.
“Suns coming up, we should get some sleep.”
“Yeah, I’ll go sleep next to Ginny. See you guys in the morning.” Hermione got up and kissed Ron goodnight then left. Ron said nothing and just left.
Harry lingered still petting Draco.
“What didn’t you want to tell them” Harry finally asked. He had worked with the twins long enough to know when they were holding something back.
“Lisa Turpin, was one of them.” George whispered from the window where the clouds were just starting to lighten with dawn. Harry tuned and looked at him. They hadn’t bothered to light any candles when they came in. Harry studied his silhouette next to the window. They were all growing up so fast.
“Bloody Hell, this is all so fucked.” Lisa Turpin was a Ravenclaw in Harry’s year.
“So what’s with the cat?” Questioned Fred as he took off his shirt and pants leaving only his boxers on, and climbing in between the sheets.
“Just found him, he needed someone to take care of him.” Draco looked up at Harry with shockingly gray eyes, so sad and frightened it made Harry almost want to cry. “I’m taking responsibility for him. So you’ll most likely see him around. He’s been hurt. Badly, and I’ll not tolerate anyone mistreating him.” He stood cradling Draco close to his chest.
“Ok, you staying in here tonight?”
Harry looked at Fred then George, then back again before answering.
“No, I’ll be up early and you two need to get some rest. You’ll have a late night tomorrow.” With that he left the room and headed up to his own. He had taken the attic as his own room when he moved in. Fixed it up and added touches of himself to the décor. Personalized wards so that only he could come and go. It’s where he hid everything he wanted to keep secret. It’s where he hid the List. A list of every one that needed to be taken care of.
He climbed the steps softly. Unlocked the door and walked in, set Draco on the floor and murmured the counter spell.
“I’m sorry” Draco whispered as soon as he could. Harry just walked right past him and proceeded to get ready for bed.
Draco just stood there for a minute looking around. It was dark and he couldn’t see much, the only source of light came from one skylight just starting to lighten.
“Come get into bed Malfoy. I’m too tired to think right now.” Draco obeyed without another word. They started on opposite sides of the bed, but after a few minutes Draco moved so that his back was pressed up against Harry’s.
A few more minutes passed when Draco gathered up his courage and asked Harry to sing for him.
“Not tonight Malfoy, go to sleep.” Draco said nothing more. Just let a few tears fall and closed his eyes to sleep.
*************
Fred laid on his side studying his twin in the dawning light. Everything was happening so fast. No one was innocent anymore.
“Are you going to stand there all day or are you going to go to sleep?”
George turned and looked at Fred. To him he seemed so fragile. How was he going to keep them safe? Harry had said it. Everything is all so fucked up.
“Do you want me to sleep with you tonight?”
Fred just gave him a little smile and moved over in the bed, making room for him. They used to share beds all the time as children. It seemed so long ago now. Fred always sleeps close to the wall with George on the outside. Said it made him feel safe and he knew that George didn’t like to feel trapped.
George stripped down and got into bed next to his other half. Fred wasted no time in wrapping his arms around him and tucking his under George’s, giving a sigh if comfort as George’s arms went around him. It was silent for a few minutes when Fred’s quite question seemed to echo in the room.
“Will you sing?”
“You want me to sing now or when we get back?” George questioned back
“Both.” Fred smile against George’s chest.
“Did we create a modern myth
Did we imagine half of it
What happened then, a thought for now
Save yourself
Save yourself
The secret is out
The secret is out
To buy the truth
And sell a lie
The last mistake before you die
So don't forget to breathe tonight
Tonight's the last so say good-bye
The Secret is out
The Secret is out
The Secret is out
The Secret is out
good-bye

His voice got softer and softer with every ‘good-bye he said. And by the end only with his ear on George’s chest could Fred hear what he was saying.
AN/ ok so first off the song at the end of the last chapter is This Night by Black Lab.
And second. OMG I am so sorry that it has taken me so long to update. I had a bit of a crises. So I am a single female in her early 20 and I was living by myself. Not something I wanted to do but my mother kind of talked me into it. said I needed to live alone at least once. I have 4 younger sibs. So I’m used to having people around. Well I tried it, didn’t like it. and finally decided to move in with a friend when I woke up at 3:20 in the morning to some stranger walking into my bedroom with me in nothing but my sheet. (only good thing about living alone is you can walk around naked and not have to worry about someone getting upset.) he didn’t do anything, I just yelled at him to get the fuck out of my apartment with a very sharp dagger in my hand. (I sleep with it on my bedside table.) he turned around and left. My phone was in the living room so I got up and put my robe on and walked out to get it….and the fucking bastard was laying on my couch trying to sleep. I flipped. Started yelling even more. He just through his hands up and walked out my front door. Didn’t say a damn word. The next day I find out that my neighbor knows him. He thought he was going into her apt. and it’s not the first time he has gotten into trouble for breaking into someone’s house because he was intoxicated. So I had to move. Took me 3 weeks to find a place and someone to live with, and I’ve spent the last 3 weeks moving and getting settled.
Had most of this chapter done before but moving took up a lot of my time. Already working on the next chapter. Should have it up sometime later this month. So please tell me what you think. And suggestions are welcome. Thank you.

His voice got softer and softer with every ‘good-bye he said. And by the end only with his ear on George’s chest could Fred hear what he was saying.
AN/ ok so first off the song at the end of the last chapter is This Night by Black Lab.
And second. OMG I am so sorry that it has taken me so long to update. I had a bit of a crises. So I am a single female in her early 20 and I was living by myself. Not something I wanted to do but my mother kind of talked me into it. said I needed to live alone at least once. I have 4 younger sibs. So I’m used to having people around. Well I tried it, didn’t like it. and finally decided to move in with a friend when I woke up at 3:20 in the morning to some stranger walking into my bedroom with me in nothing but my sheet. (only good thing about living alone is you can walk around naked and not have to worry about someone getting upset.) he didn’t do anything, I just yelled at him to get the fuck out of my apartment with a very sharp dagger in my hand. (I sleep with it on my bedside table.) he turned around and left. My phone was in the living room so I got up and put my robe on and walked out to get it….and the fucking bastard was laying on my couch trying to sleep. I flipped. Started yelling even more. He just through his hands up and walked out my front door. Didn’t say a damn word. The next day I find out that my neighbor knows him. He thought he was going into her apt. and it’s not the first time he has gotten into trouble for breaking into someone’s house because he was intoxicated. So I had to move. Took me 3 weeks to find a place and someone to live with, and I’ve spent the last 3 weeks moving and getting settled.
Had most of this chapter done before but moving took up a lot of my time. Already working on the next chapter. Should have it up sometime later this month. So please tell me what you think. And suggestions are welcome. Thank you.
