The New Future Death Eater

~*Harry POV*~

After Hermione and Malfoy disappeared, Ron and I were still standing there, eyes wide open. Then Mr. Weasley and Ginny came over to where we were standing.

Ginny put her arm around my shoulder and asked, "What's the matter with you two?"

All Ron could do was point where Hermione and Draco was standing and replied, "S-She.... H-Hermione.... M-Malfoy.... g-gone."

I answered in a shaky voice, "Hermione just left with Malfoy to live with him."

Then Mr. Weasley gasped. "Well, we will owl her when we get to the headquarters, I suppose."

Ginny gave her father a confused look, and asked, "Dad, what are you talking about?"

Mr. Weasley put his hand up and said, "Can't tell now." Then looked at Ron and me and said, "You two go get Fred and George."

So Ron and I walked down in silence, because we were still shocked about the event that just happened. When we reached Fred and George, they were talking to Lee Jordan and Angelina Johnson, who also graduated this year.

Ron said to the twins, in a sulking voice. "Dad said that to finish up, because we are leaving."

Then Fred looked at us. "What's up with you two?" He said this while laughing. "You look like..."

"... One of your friends just died." George finished, chuckling.

"JUST COME ON!" Ron snapped and sulked, walking away.

After Ron walked away, I waited for the twins to say goodbye to Lee and Angelina. After they finished, they came over to me. Fred slapped my back and asked, "Now, what is wrong with our little Ronniekins?"

I sighed and replied, "Long story. I'll tell you later."

With the twins, I came back, and we went to a Muggle parking area. We walked up to a red car that almost looked like the blue Ford from second year. Mr. Weasley opened the truck and the doors. We all loaded our trunks, got in, and we were off.

The ride to the headquarters was quiet, so I decided to think about things. I've got to think of something for Gin's birthday. Er, what should I get her: jewelry or clothes? I know! I'll take her to dinner; just me and her. That's a great idea! I'll have to look for some restaurants around here. Then I sighed, and looked at my girlfriend.

~*Ron POV*~

I couldn't believe what Hermione had just done. I mean, she knows that we can't stand Malfoy. Then, why would she go and live with him?! I hope she has a good explanation about this. That traitor! I am definitely owling her when we get to headquarters. Then I growled, and impatiently waited for us to arrive at our destination.

When the car stopped, we came out of the vehicle, and started for the trunk, but Dad stopped us.

"We'll get that later. Right now, we have more important things to do."

We looked around at the neighborhood. The houses were not a welcoming sight. They had broken windows and dull light coming from the street lamps.

We walked over to a row of houses. There was a house with the number ten, and one with thirteen, but no twelve. Then, Dad gave Ginny a piece a parchment and told us, "Read and memorize as fast as possible. After, pass it to Fred, and he'll burn it." Fred nodded to Dad.

Ginny read it and passed it to Harry. He read it also, and passed it to me. It read:

The headquarters of the Order Of Phoenix may be found at Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place, London.

After Fred burned the parchment, Dad said, "Welcome to the House of Black."
