A girl walked towards a house resembling a leaning tower; her head bowed against the wind, beneath her black cloak, pieces of black hair whisked behind her. She stopped, ankle deep in the snow and looked up at the house- The Weasley's home. Her eyes, a crystal blue color, were determined and she moved so she was hiding behind a bush, stopping where everything in the living room was visible. She noticed how her dark tan skin was in extreme contrast to everything else covered in white as she pulled her cloak tighter around her thin frame. After she took a deep breath and checked to make sure no one was watching the house- she made a dash to the door.
XOXO
"…Just remember I want Potter." Voldemort hissed, finishing his speech.
All the death eaters bowed their head before they disappeared in black smoke, flying towards the first battle of the war- The Weasley's.
XOXO
Mrs. Weasley opened the door to reveal a girl she had never before laid her eyes on. "Hello, Dear. May I help you?"
"Mrs. Weasley…" Dana whispered, "It's me, Hermione."
Mrs. Weasley's eyes grew wide as she ushered Hermione/ Dana into the house. "Dear, you look different every time I see you." She whispered also.
"The death eaters can't recognize me. There's going to be an attack- I came to warn you."
Mrs. Weasley's eyes grew wide, "Harry, Dear! Come here for a moment please." She called in to the living room.
Dana was wringing her hands nervously and kept looking out the window. Harry entered the kitchen and when his eyes fell on Dana, a confused expression appeared on his face. Dana, not being able to help herself, ran and flung her arms around Harry's neck. "It's me!" She whispered in his ear, "Hermione. I'm here to help. There's going to be an attack."
She pulled away from Harry and looked into his eyes. "I had to disguise myself. I want to help you fight."
Harry grabbed Dana's hand and pulled her into the living room in front of all the Weasleys and many of the order members. "Everyone, this is Hermione." Harry announced
"Shhh!" Dana hissed, "They could be listening in!"
Everyone in the room gathered around Dana and Harry as they began formulating a plan. Bill, the oldest of the Weasley siblings, broke away from the group, he took the his wife- a pregnant Fleur- her sister Gabrielle, and his sister Ginny, "You three are to go into the small safety chamber under the house. Do not come out!" He demanded
"I want to fight!" Ginny disagreed and after a short argument, Ginny rejoined the group with a triumphant look on her face.
XOXO
The death eaters apparated to the burrow and hid themselves in the forest, waiting for the correct time to attack. Nina, Blaise, Draco, Dylan, Pansy and Theo stood towards the back, not particularly wanting to participate.
"It's beginning." Nina whispered under her breath
XOXO
There was an explosion outside of the burrow and all the members inside pulled out their wands, ready for the attack. Dana suddenly felt overwhelmed; her best friends would be on the other side- not even aware she was there. "I can't use my powers- they will know its me… but I can use regular spells."
"It's okay." Harry squeezed her shoulder, "We owe you our lives. Thank you Hermione."
"It's going to be a hard fought battle. I'm sure my father did not send all his death eaters… and my siblings wont be present- according to Draco he's saving us for the final battle."
The members of the order flooded outside of the Burrow, wands at the ready. The first spell flew through the air, and the battle had started.
