I'm kind of at a standstill with my other story so I thought I'd start this one that's been jumbling through my head for a while. So please enjoy!

(Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. Even though that would be totally wicked, but alas I don't.)

I was sitting up in my room staring out the window into the dark, foreboding sky. The wind was picking up and you could hear it whistling through the trees. Waves were crashing violently on the shore. Claps of thunder could be heard off in the distance, and if you looked close enough you could see a flash of lightening light up the horizon.

I had a sickening feeling that something bad was going to happen.

"Alice! Come down for dinner!" The sudden announcement from Aunt Andromeda snapped me out of my reverie.

As I headed downstairs I still had that sickening feeling something was going to happen. I tried to put it to the back of my mind but it still keep popping up.

We I got to the landing and turned into the dining room I notice that there was an extra place set.

I headed to the kitchen only to find out who the extra person was.

"Dora!" It was my sister, well cousin, Nymphadora Tonks. I hadn't seen her in what felt like ages.

"Alice!" She said with equal amount of enthusiasm. "How have you been?"

"Well I live on the beach with the best Aunt and Uncle ever, so couldn't be better." I smiled.

"That's good to hear." She smiled back. "Oh before I forget-" She stopped when Uncle Ted and Aunt Andromeda walked in the kitchen.

"Oh hope we weren't interrupting." Uncle Ted laughed. "But dinner is set before it gets cold."

Dora and I nodded in agreement and left to go to the dining room.

After we were done eating and talking Dora and I took a walk out on the beach.

"It's really brewing up a storm out here." Dora observed.

"Yeah. It most certainly is." I agreed. We both looked off into the horizon to see the dark clouds hovering like a dark rainbow. It wasn't raining yet but you could almost see the clouds struggling to hold onto the weight of the water inside.

"So what's stirring in that mind of yours?" She caught me off guard.

I looked at her, slightly shocked at how well she could always read me.

"H-huh? N-nothing is." I stammered.

"Don't try to deny it. I know you and I'm a little bit more observant than Mum and Dad."

"What do you mean?" I asked genuinely confused.

"Have you looked in a mirror?"

"Not lately no. Why?" I answered with uncertainty.

"Well your platinum blonde hair is seeping through, and it is very noticeable against the dark red you have." I immediately touched my hair and glanced away, trying to compose my expression.

"Oh. Oops." I laughed it off.

"So would you tell me what's going on inside your head?"

I sighed. "Well, it's just-" I was cut off by an Eagle Owl soaring through the sky.

"By the way you literally just drained of color I take it you know that owl?"

I nodded. The owl swooped down once it spotted me and I took the letter that was tied around its leg and it flew off again. I opened the piece of parchment and it read:

Alice,

I felt that I should warn you before you get Father's owl.

They want you to come back and... help I guess you could say. I tried to convince them not to bring you in this but Father went off. He started saying that since you are a Malfoy you have to do this. That you were born a metamorphmagi because you were born to serve The Dark Lord.

I tried. I really did try to get them to leave you out of it, but you know how they are. I don't want what happened to you when you still lived here to happen again.

We can talk more in person when or if you get here. It's safer that way. Please, just grit your teeth and come back so nothing bad happens to you.

Gotta go Father's coming. Oh when you get here look like a Malfoy. If you don't it will get real ugly real fast.

Draco

After I was done reading the letter I stood there completely dumb founded.

Dora looked at me with concern written all over her face.

"What is it?" She asked carefully.

All I did was hand her the letter. I watched her read it. Her face turned to that of one filled with anger. Her normally purple flashed a deep red. After she was done she looked at me with woeful eyes.

"This is bad. This is very bad." She said. "Severus warned me this could happen."

"Uncle Severus told you about this?"

She nodded. After a few moments in silence she spoke again. This time it was to relieve the tension.

"Ya know. I will never get the relationship you have with Draco or Severus."

I smiled half-heartedly. "Really? How so?"

"Well you call Severus uncle. When he's not really your uncle, but he might as well be. And Draco. You guys are twins but he's a Slytherin and you're a Gryffindor, and yet you two are extremely close."

I laughed. "Well I can't explain it either. I guess things just happen like that."

The storm that had been brewing finally came. Dora and I rushed back inside. When we got in Uncle Ted and Aunt 'Dromeda were sitting on the couch looking very grave. Dora and I looked at each other and sat in the chairs sitting opposite the couch.

"We just got a letter from your father." That was all that Uncle Ted said and I knew I drained off all color again.

"I know." I said quietly. The only sound that filled the room was the fireplace crackling quietly behind us. There was a spell cast over it to keep the rain from washing it out.

"What?" Aunt 'Dromeda asked perplexed. "We only now got the letter."

"I know, but I got one from Draco while we were outside."

"Should've known." Uncle Ted slightly chuckled. It didn't last long though. He leaned back in his chair and reopened the crinkled piece of parchment in his hand. "Said he wants you back because he misses his daughter. Shoulda' thought of that before he kicked you out into the streets, eh?"

"Theodore," My Aunt whispered. She placed her hand over his in a caring way in hopes to calm him down, then looked back at me. "What're you going to do, Alice?"

"I guess I'm going to go back."

"Why?" Everyone proclaimed at the same time.

"Just so they, well Father, doesn't do anything extreme." We all know how he could act. Especially when he didn't get what he wanted.

"But-"

I cut Dora off. "No buts I'm going back because it's what I have to do." I continued on so Uncle Ted wouldn't interrupt. "I'm going to do it because The Order could use someone else on the inside."

"That's outrageous!" Aunt 'Dromeda exclaimed, while Uncle Ted seemed to be thinking over what I had said. He always looked at things three moves ahead. Like a never ending match of Wizards Chess is going on in his head.

"That may be, but I'm still doing it."

Everyone just stared at me, but they knew my mind was set. We all just sat there in silence for a while.

Aunt 'Dromeda was the one to break it. "Well he wants you back by tomorrow. He wants you to meet him in Knockturn Alley." His eyes held a dark twinkle as if he was silently agreeing with me.

I nodded. "Well I'm going to go get some sleep."

Everyone said their goodnights and went upstairs got ready for bed and slipped into an uneasy slumber.

So what'd you guys think? I like to hear any feedback good or bad. =)
