Breaking The Mould (Lucius Malfoy)

Betrayed

Harry had been sending Sirius letters since his first dream, and after a week had passed since his first one, Sirius invited him back to Grimmuald place. Harry told both Ron and Hermione, and mentioned to Ron his family should also attend.

"I don't like this Harry", Ron stated

"I don't like it either, but I can't just ignore it", Harry responded in a snap. Ever since his first dream about Celeste he had been tense to say the least, and so had she.

The Golden trio began to avoid her, following Harry's footsteps, and Dumbledores army meetings had drawn to a close for the time being; Harry giving a pathetic excuse that his grades were dropping, and so for a few weeks there would be no meetings. Celestes dreams had returned, seeing her against her friends, pleading them to lower their wands. It scared her. She hung out with Draco, pansy and Blaise most often, not seeing Lucius since the week before as he had some work to do at the ministry.

Celeste convinced herself to talk to Sirius about it, keeping it secret from Sirius so he would not be worried. As she jumped through the flames to the Orders base, she walked through the door slowly, stopping when she heard familiar voices.

"I'm telling you, I saw it, I saw her with them in my dreams. I can't just ignore it, no matter how much I love her", she heard Harry say. Harry? What was he doing here, why didn't he tell her he was going?

"I understand, but Harry, Celeste would never turn against us. She is the kindest and loving person I have met, these dreams are just worries", she heard Sirius say. Celeste froze when she heard her name, they were talking about me? Suddenly a slight rage bubbled inside her, that's why the trio had been avoiding her.

"However, Sirius, we must consider Harry's point", Arthur Weasley stated. "Yes she is like a daughter to me however, no one can predict the future. Who knows when you know who rises again what side she will take".

"You're wrong dad", Fred said

"Yeah, Celeste would never betray the Order" George agreed. Celeste smiled, at least they were seeing straight.

"But we can't just ignore it!" Arthur raised his voice

"What are you not telling us Arthur?" Sirius questioned. At this moment, Celeste peeped through the door, the light slicing her face. She saw Arthur swallow nervously.

"There has been whispers. Whispers I have heard in the ministry"

"What sort of whispers?" Sirius begun to raise his voice too, angry that they were doubting his precious goddaughter.

"Do tell Arthur, if we are to asses the severity of the situation we must know all the information", a new voice added, Remus.

"Well, it's not exactly light news"- creak! Celeste jumped back, knowing she had leant too far in, giving herself away. Shuffles were heard and suddenly the door whipped open, Remus held his wand to the intruder, lowering it when he saw Celeste. His face softened when he examined her expression. Tears welled in her eyes, anger, sadness, betrayal. Sirius quickly joined Remus' side and opened the door more so he could see who it was, his face softening too when he saw her. The whole room could now see she had heard everything.

"Celeste"-

"Don't", she spat. Celeste pushed lashed Remus and Sirius and everyone in the room looked at her with awkward and sad faces. "If you have something to say, say it to my face", she hissed. "Don't forget I am part of this order too, don't forget that I hate you know who as much as the rest of you, or did it slip all of your minds that he killed my parents too?" She looked around the room, some of them couldn't even look at her. "Or Cedric? It's not just you Harry that has lost people, remember that", she looked him dead in the eye, burning a hole through him. It made Harry shiver. "If you think my betrayal is something you need to worry about", Celeste shook her head at all of them. "You don't know me at all", she finished, turning away to walk out the door.
