Author’s Note I am so sorry for the delay. I had the hardest time writing this part. I’m not really sure if I’m happy with the way it turned out. It may get changed. An Acceptable Risk Chapter Twenty-Seven The Fight and Who Fell “How bad was it?” asked Harry. “Not as bad as it could have been?” admitted Mr. Weasley. “A few casualties on our side, but there were a few deaths on the other side. Our Aurors were able to mount a counter attack rather quickly.” Mr. Weasleys ears turned a dull red. “What aren’t you telling us Dad?” asked Bill. “The Ministry’s released a list of those captured or killed,” said Mr. Weasley. “Draco, I’m afraid your father was killed in tonight’s raid. And your mother, well, I’m afraid your mother’s been taken prisoner, as well.” Draco’s normally pale complexion turned a sickly gray. “N-no, it can’t be,” he said. “I mean -- I knew he was, but he wouldn’t, would he? The Ministry? It can’t be,” his voice trailed off. “Can it?” “I’m afraid it is true dear,” said Mrs. Weasley, laying her arm upon his shoulder gently. “We got word by Floo Powder shortly after you went outside. They’re keeping everything strictly confidential, Draco. Nobody else will know.” “Iknow,” said Draco. “And everybody in Slytherin will know as well. Something like this won’t be kept secret for long.” He looked around the room, at all the faces staring at him with sympathy, and bolted. The door slammed behind him, and silence filled the room. “Someone should go talk to him,” said Hermione softly. “I’ll do it,” said Harry. “No, Harry,” said Mrs. Weasley. “Leave him be for now. He’s had some shocking news. Let’s give him some time to absorb it all.” “What happened Dad?” asked Charlie. “Can you tell us the details?” “Well, I don’t know too much myself,” admitted Mr. Weasley. “We’ve been keeping a skeleton staff on at all hours ever since Hogsmeade was attacked. They were looking for something specific, but we don’t think they found it.” “What were they looking for?” asked Hermione. “I-er, I’m not at liberty to say,” said Mr. Weasley. “Me,” said Harry. “They were looking for me, weren’t they?” “It seems that way Harry. Actually, they were trying to get your file from the Ministry records.” “What did they expect to find?” asked Ron. “What kind of a file could Harry have at the Ministry?” “Quite a large one actually. For obvious reasons, the Ministry has always kept an eye on Harry,” admitted Mr. Weasley. “Did they get what they were looking for?” asked Bill. “Of course they didn’t, Bill,” said Percy, pompously. “The Ministry would never allow important information to fall into the wrong hands.” “Fortunately, Percy is correct. They didn’t get anything at all. The Aurors were able to stop them.” “How did they stop them?” said a voice from the other room. Draco walked back into the room and sat down next to Ginny. She reached over and took his hand in hers and patted it gently. “Draco, are you sure you want to do this now?” asked Mr. Weasley. “There will be time for all of this later.” “No, I need to know everything, and putting it off won’t make it any easier,” he said dully. “Just tell me and get it over with.” “Well, the Death Eaters began attacking almost immediately, and they were using the Unforgivables. A gasp went up at the mention of the three curses that were forbidden by the Ministry. Use of them would guarantee an automatic life sentence in Azkaban. “Three of our men were taken down by the Cruciatus Curse. Suddenly, a voice called out the ultimate unforgivable.” “Not the,” began Harry. “Yes, I’m afraid so,” confirmed Mr. Weasley. “The Avada Kedavra.” Nobody said anything for a few minutes and Mr. Weasley continued. “The Ministry recently passed a ruling stating that when attacked by the Unforgivables, Ministry employees would be allowed to use them in return. Draco, your father cast the Avada Kedavra and three aurors – well, three aurors cursed him. I’m sorry son, he didn’t have a chance.” “I’ve got to go back to Malfoy Manor,” said Draco, suddenly. “There are things I need to take care of.” He turned on one heel, and strode out of the room, looking for all the world like Snape, minus the billowing black robes. Harry slipped out of the crowded sitting room and followed him up to Ron’s room. “Draco, can I speak with you for a second?” “Why? So you can rub my face in it, Potter?” snapped Draco. “I bet you’re just loving this. Knowing that my father is dead.” “Oh, right. I think every kid should have their father killed by one of the forbidden curses. Malfoy, you are insane. I came up here because I though you might want to talk.” “Well you thought wrong. I don’t want to talk to you, I don’t want anything to do with you!” He finished shoving the rest of his belongings into his trunk, and dragged it out of the room and down the stairs. “I’m going to leave now,” he announced to the room. “May I borrow some Floo Powder please?” Molly Weasley stepped forward, the jar of Floo Powder in her hand. “You are not leaving, unless either Arthur or myself go with you, Draco. I simply cannot stand the thought of you going to that empty house all alone.” “Really, Mrs. Weasley, I just want to be alone.” “Fine, you can be alone, after one of us takes you home and gets you settled in.” “Fine,” said Draco rudely. “I won’t stop you if you want to come.” “Molly, I’m not letting you go alone,” said Arthur. “I’ll go with you.” “Dad,” said Charlie. “You can’t go, you need to stay here in case,” he stopped and looked at Harry. “Well, just in case,” he finished. “I’ll go with Mom, we’ll get Draco settled and work out a few things.” “Look, if you’re all done arranging my life to suit all of you, I’d like to be going,” snapped Draco. “Watch it,” snarled Ron, jumping to his feet and moving towards Draco. “That’s enough!” thundered an uncharacteristically stern Mr. Weasley. “We don’t have time for this type of behavior, from any of you,” he said fixing them all with a glare. “We all have to pull together now. Molly, you and Charlie take Draco home, get him settled and get back here. Draco, you are more than welcome to come back with them if you chose. Our door will always be open to you.” Bill and Charlie carried Draco’s trunk over to the fireplace. Molly tossed in a handful of Floo Powder. Draco stood next to his trunk and looked around as the others stood watching. “Thanks for inviting me Ginny,” he said in a sardonic voice. “I don’t know if fun is quite the word I’d use, but it’s been different.” “Draco,” said Ginny stepping forward, her voice catching at his hurtful words. “Don’t Ginny,” he said softly. “Not right now, I couldn’t bear it right now. Malfoy Manor,” he said in a louder voice. He grabbed his trunk stepped into the fire and disappeared. Molly kissed Arthur on the cheek and apparated, followed quickly by Charlie. “All right everybody,” said Mr. Weasley. “We have to make plans to get the lot of you back to school immediately.” “School,” said Ron. “Why Dad, we’re still on holiday.” “Because, there’s no safer place than Hogwarts,” said Hermione. “Exactly Hermione,” said Mr. Weasley. “You’ll be safer under Dumbledore’s protection. Now go get your belongings together. Twinkle will have a meal ready for you. Bill, Percy, I’ll want you and Fred and George to come with us to Kings Cross.” “Sure thing Dad,” said Fred. “We’ll do whatever it takes, you know that.” “You’re good boys, all of you,” said Mr. Weasley looking at his sons. “I don’t know what’s to come in the future, but I do know that the world is a better place because all of you are in it.” <center>Margo is a Super ORB!</center><center><center>It all started with a boy, a girl and a silver handprint.<center>Countess Majiklmoon Mistress and keeper of the tunes</center></color~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <a href=http://pub84.ezboard.com/bmajiklmoonsrealm><img src=http://members.aol.com/majiklmoon/image ... 2a.gif></a> Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub129.ezboard.com/bmajiklmoonsr ... iklmoon</A> <IMG HEIGHT=10 WIDTH=10 SRC="http://members.aol.com/majiklmoon/images/moon18.gif" BORDER=0> at: 11/1/02 10:39:54 pm

So I'm confused...is Draco nice or evil? I can't see him as going back to being totally evil, but i'm not sure, you made him really nasty

An Acceptable Risk Chapter Twenty-Eight At the Manor &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Draco stepped out of the fireplace and looked around. The manor was cold and dark, and felt completely empty. “Hello?” he called out, not expecting an answer. Molly Weasley and Charlie suddenly appeared next to him. “Hello dear,” said Molly, looking around. “Oh, it is a bit dreary in here, isn’t it?” she asked of nobody in particular. “Let’s see to that first. Incendiate,” she said, and a small fire appeared in the fireplace. “There, that’s better,” she said as a warm glow filled the room. “Charlie, be a dear and go down to the kitchen and put some water on for tea.” “There are house elves to see to that,” said Draco, dully. “Yes dear, I realize that, but this will get Charlie out of the way for a bit,” she whispered. “Oh, and Charlie, see if you can find the house elves and have them fix us something to eat.” “Right-o Mum,” shouted Charlie from the depths of the house. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Now that Charlie’s out of the way for a bit, I want to talk to you. I really don’t like the thought of you staying here alone. I want to make sure you understand how much we want you to stay with us.” Draco just stared at her, saying nothing, so she continued, “Well, just think about it dear. Now what is taking Charlie so long? I’m just going to pop down to the kitchen to see what’s keeping him.” Molly Weasley walked out of the room, surreptitiously looking at the ostentatious display of wealth. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp After Molly left the room, Draco spun around in a slow circle, taking everything in, mentally comparing it to the homey shabbiness of the Burrow, and finding it lacking. A popping sound from the fireplace caught his attention, and he turned to see what had caused it. There he found, hovering in the flames, the visage of Lord Voldemort. “Draco Malfoy,” the Dark Lord intoned. “It will soon be time for you to join me; to take your rightful place at my side. The position once held by your father.” Draco swallowed his revulsion. The face in the fire was hideous. Most of his face was obscured by the hood of a cloak, but what Draco could see made him feel ill. The skin on his face was so white it appeared bloodless. His eyes were red orbs, and he had two slits for nostrils. He resembled a giant snake. “You are prepared to assume your proper place at my side?” Voldemort asked again. “Ye-yes, My Lord,” stammered Draco. “And the girl?” “What girl?” Draco asked, trying to stall for time. “Don’t play stupid with me, boy. I expect far more from a Malfoy! Your father told me about the Weasley girl. I want her in my fold.” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp A small gasp alerted Draco that Mrs. Weasley had heard Voldemort. “What was that?” “Nobody, My Lord. Perhaps you heard one of the house elves?” “That had better be what I heard. Now, the girl – there will be a gathering of my servants soon. You shall bring her to me at that time.” “You don’t want her,” said Draco, bravely. “She is firmly encroached in Potter’s camp. As much as she professes to hate those not of pure blood, I don’t think she will turn to our side.” “THINK?” roared Voldemort. “I don’t want you to think. Your soul purpose is to simply do my bidding. IS THAT CLEAR?” “Yes My Lord,” said Draco, lowering his eyes to hide his fury. “You will be contacted, and soon you shall wear my mark.” There was an audible pop, and the head of the Dark Lord vanished from the flames. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Molly Weasley rushed into the room, a look of panic on her face. “Draco? Was that the – was it him? “I, uh,yes, it was, but I won’t…” “What did he want?” questioned Molly, interrupting him. “I could see his head reflecting in that mirror in the dining room, but I couldn’t hear what he was saying,” lied Molly. “Nothing,” said Draco, his face showing relief that she hadn’t heard Voldemort’s request. “He just wanted to inform me about my parents. Mrs. Weasley, you should leave. I don’t know when, or if he’ll be back, but you shouldn’t be here. It isn’t safe.” “And it isn’t safe for you either. You’re coming home with us!” “I can’t,” said Draco. “He may come looking for me. You’re in danger, I’m putting you in danger!” Molly nodded as if she approved of something that he had said. “Stuff and nonsense,” she said. “No march yourself upstairs and get anything you think you’ll need. We’ll eat and head back home. Tomorrow, Arthur will take you to see your mother if you’d like.” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp After a small meal, Charlie, Mrs. Weasley and Draco prepared to leave Malfoy Manor. Molly helped Draco instruct the elves as to their duties while he was at school. Using the Floo Powder once again, Draco allowed himself to be transported back to the Weasleys home. Molly and Charlie apparated and arrived home right after Draco. “Welcome back Draco,” said Mrs. Weasley brushing the soot off of him. “Arthur, where is everybody?” Arthur Weasley turned to look at the clock that stood in the kitchen. The clock was not your typical clock. It had a great many hands on it. In fact, it had one hand for each member of the Weasley family. “Let me see,” said Mr. Weasley. “Percy’s upstairs working, and Fred and George are down below, working on something or other.” A loud explosion came from the bowels of the house, confirming his explanation. “Bill went to visit some friends,” continued Mr. Weasley, unfazed by the explosion. “Ron and Hermione are walking down by the stream, Harry is in the paddock flying, and Ginny is in her room, studying,” he finished. “Welcome back Draco,” he added, belatedly. “I’m glad you came back to stay with us.” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “You really mean that, don’t you?” asked Draco, incredulously. “Well of course we mean it Draco,” said Mrs. Weasley. “Why wouldn’t we?” “It’s been my experience that most people don’t do anything without some ulterior motive.” “Well, that isn’t the case here,” said Mrs. Weasley. “Now why don’t you and Charlie take your trunk upstairs, and then you can go do whatever you want for a few hours before we eat.” Draco nodded, and hefted one end of the trunk while Charlie grabbed the other. “Yeah, come on upstairs, I can show you some of my dragon stuff if you’d like,” said Charlie. “Sure,” said Draco, still puzzled by the treatment he was receiving. “That would be terrific.” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Molly Weasley waited until the two boys were out of earshot before she turned to her husband. “Oh Arthur, that poor child, wanting to stay by himself in that cold empty house.” “Now Molly, I hardly think one could call Draco Malfoy a poor boy.” “Well he is. All alone in that house, and You-Know-Who appearing, it was just terrible.” “What!” shouted Arthur. “Molly, are you and Charlie all right?” “I’m fine, Charlie’s fine, we’re both fine,” said Molly. “But the pressure he put on that poor child.” “Molly,” said Mr. Weasley in exasperation. That child is the son of one of the most viscous Death Eaters there ever was.” “Yes, well, be that as it may, I don’t think that Draco is like that.” “Well then, you haven’t listened to anything that Ron or Harry has said for the past six years.” “Oh pish tosh,” said Molly. “Now do me a favor and go round up Ron, Hermione and Harry please. I’m going to want some help with dinner.” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Arthur Weasley gave his wife one last exasperated look before he grabbed his cloak and walked out the door. Molly waited until she could see him walking towards the stream. Grabbing some powder out of the jar on the mantle, she tossed it into the fire. “Albus, Albus Dumbledore, are you there?” “I am here Molly?” said the Headmaster, his face bobbing in the flames. “Do you have some news?” “I’m assuming you’ve heard about the attack on the Ministry?” she asked the Headmaster. “Yes, yes -- tragic thing indeed. How is Mr. Malfoy handling the news?” “Not well, he wanted to go back to Malfoy Manor. We actually took him, but while we were there, You-Know-Who,” “Voldemort, Molly. Call him Voldemort.” “Fine, Voldemort appeared and told Draco he wanted Ginny. My baby, Albus, he wants my baby girl!” she cried. “Relax Molly,” said Dumbledore. “That will never happen. Tell me, how did Mr. Malfoy react?” “He tried to convince Voldemort that Ginny would never turn to the him, and then he tried to make us leave because he feared we were in danger. In fact, he refused to come back home with us because he wanted us to be safe.” “Excellent,” said Dumbledore. “That is most excellent news indeed. Please send the children back to Hogwarts as soon as possible, Molly. After the attack on the Ministry, I feel it is the safest place for them.” “We’ll have them there tomorrow, Albus. Thank you.” “No Molly, thank you for your role in this deception,” said the Headmaster just before his head disappeared from the flames. <center>Margo is a Super ORB!</center><center><center>It all started with a boy, a girl and a silver handprint.<center>Countess Majiklmoon Mistress and keeper of the tunes</center></color~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <a href=http://pub84.ezboard.com/bmajiklmoonsrealm><img src=http://members.aol.com/majiklmoon/image ... 2a.gif></a>

Yes, it's been like forever. I don't want to hear about it <img src=http://www.majiklmoon.com/ezboardsmilies/lol.gif ALT=":lol"> An Acceptable Risk Chapter Twenty-Nine Back to Hogwarts &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Ginny looked around platform nine and three quarters. She had never seen it as deserted as it was this morning. “Mum? Where is everybody? Aren’t they going back to school early too?” “Yes they are Ginny, but in light of what happened, Professor Dumbledore has arranged for the Hogwarts Express to run around the clock until everyone has arrived at Hogwarts. You four are the first to go back, for obvious reasons. There is a contingent of Aurors waiting to escort you to the train. Once you are inside, you are to remain in your compartment. Two Aurors will remain outside your compartment at all times.” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Ron, Harry, and Draco locked in one small train compartment for the whole trip, Mum? This is not going to be a fun ride,” complained Ginny. “It doesn’t have to be fun, dear, but what it does have to do is keep you safe long enough to get to Hogwarts, and safety.” Ginny flushed a dull red as her mother chastised her. “You’re right,” she said, her grip tightening on the trolley that held all her school things. “Owl me as soon as you get back to school, Dear,” said Mrs. Weasley “And Ginny? Be safe.” Molly Weasley hugged her daughter tightly and watched as she boarded the train that Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny had already boarded. She waved as the train pulled out of the station, and continued waving until it disappeared from sight. Ginny slid the compartment door opened and stepped into the compartment, only to be greeted by scowls on all the boys’ faces. “Well,” she said, brightly. “It looks like we’re all having a lovely time.” “Very funny, Ginny,” said Ron. “It’s about time you got in here. What kept you?” “You are not my keeper, Ron Weasley, and I’ll thank you not to act like you are,” snapped Ginny. “Leave her alone, Ron,” Hermione said, softly. “None of this can be very easy for her.” “And who asked you?” Ginny snapped. “If I’ve told you once, I’ve told you a hundred times, ‘Mind your own business!’” “Hey!” shouted Ron. “You’ve got no business talking to Hermione that way.” “Will you all please just shut up!” roared Draco. “I’ve got enough problems here without having to listen to the lot of you squabble back and forth like a bunch of babies. I have to go back to Hogwarts and face everybody. They’re all going to know about my Father and my Mother. Have any of you thought about that? Do any of you have any idea at all how I feel?” “Stop feeling so sorry for yourself, Malfoy,” Ron snapped. “In case you’ve forgotten, thanks to the slimy git your father worshipped, Harry knows exactly how you feel!” “Potter knows how I feel,” sneered Draco. “I don’t think so. I’m not going to stay in this stupid compartment any longer. I need to get a way from the lot of you.” Draco stood up and opened the door, and tried to step out into the passageway of the train. Before he could take a single step, his way was blocked by two adult wizards, who blocked the door to the compartment with their wands. “I’m sorry,” said one of the wizards. “We have instructions to see that you remain in the compartment at all times.” “What?” said Draco. “You can’t keep me here.” He looked at the wizard who had a wild mop of gray hair, and wore black robes with three red stripes around the hem. “Who do you think you are, ordering me about?” “I don’t think,” said the wizard. “I know. I am Phinias Pilquebinder, and I am an aurora. We,” he nodded at his companion, “Have been ordered by the Ministry of Magic, to see that you returned to Hogwarts safely. In order to do that, you must remain in the compartment.” “Fine,” snapped Draco. He slammed the compartment door and slumped back into his seat. “This is all your fault,” he said to Harry. “What!” exploded Ron. “Why, because he didn’t have the good sense to die as a baby when,” he took a deep breath and shuddered, “Voldemort tried to kill him?” “Oh, Ron, why don’t you shut up,” Ginny said. “This isn’t going to solve anything. Yes, Harry faced a terrible loss in his life, but honestly, he’s had years to deal with it. Draco’s pain is still fresh, can’t you leave him alone to deal with it?” Harry, Ron and Hermione all looked at Ginny, amazed at her callousness. “Now hang on one minute!” shouted Ron, but the squealing of the trains’ brakes drowned his voice out. The compartment door slid open, and Phinias Pilquebinder stood silhouetted by the sunlight that streamed in from the window. “Nobody move. I’m going to find out what is happening. Hendricks will be out here. Don’t leave the compartment for any reason, unless I tell you to.” There was a slight pop, and Phinias apparated from sight. “I wonder what it is?” asked Ginny. “Probably nothing,” said Draco, but the fear in his eyes belied the calmness in his voice. “Harry? D’ you think it’s dementors again?” asked Ron. He looked over at his friend, to see that he already had his wand drawn. “No, but I think we’d better be ready, no matter what,” said Harry. “I don’t suppose it’s any good telling you two to stay behind us,” Harry continued, looking at Ginny and Hermione. Hermione opened her mouth to speak, but the sound of shouting outside the compartment caused her to shut it quickly. “Crucio!” they heard a voice call out. The compartment door slid open, and several hooded figures strode into the compartment. Behind them, lay the body of Hendricks, twitching and jerking on the floor. “Draco Malfoy, you will come with us,” intoned one of the hooded figures. “You’ll not take him anywhere!” shouted Ginny. “Imperius!” the hooded figure called out as it pointed its wand at Draco. “You will apparate to Malfoy Manor, now!” the figure commanded. “Malfoy Manor,” whispered Draco, and with a pop he gone. Seconds later, the Death Eaters apparated as well, leaving the occupants of the compartment in stunned silence. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp <center>It all started with a boy, a girl, and a silver handprint.</center><center><a href=http://pub84.ezboard.com/bmajiklmoonsrealm><img src=http://members.aol.com/majiklmoon/image ... a></center>

Fun stuff, but Malfoy turning good? almost to hard to believe! I hope Ginny drops the act with Draco soon though! I wonder how he will react though, when the first person he thought actually cared about him was really only putting up a farce to help Harry, his hated rival :?: Could be trouble :!:

. Great update, More Please :!:
