My Double Agent

Chapter 16 ~ Loosing more then intended

Sunday morning, July 27th, Hermione has packed all of her essentials into her purse. She holds back her tears as she looks around her room one last time, then down to the Daily Prophet. Her eyes fixated on the story title, 'Muggle Family Murdered'.

"Hermione! Tea's ready, darling." Hermione's mom calls up from the sitting room

"Coming, mum!" Hermione replies in a shaky voice.

She comes downstairs and looks at her Parents who are drinking their tea. Hermione almost about to burst into tears as she raises her wand at them, "Obliviate" she whispers. Hermione watches as she disappears from pictures around the sitting room. Hermione grabs her coat and walks outside, making sure to close the door quietly. She looks back at the house one last time before walking down the street in complete tears. She wanted to make sure they were safe, if that meant they had to forget all about her and move to Australia.

Later that night, Hermione walks up to Harry's house with the rest of the order. It was her first time seeing it herself. Moody knocks on the door, once Harry opens it, everyone barges in. After some pleasantries, Moody and Arthur Weasley take stand in the front of the room. Moody clears his throat, "Potter, you're underage. Which means, you've still got the trace on you."

"What's the trace?", Harry asked.

"If you sneeze, the Ministry will know who wipes your nose. The point is, we have to use those means of transport the trace can't detect. Brooms, thestrals and the like. We go in pairs."

As he spoke Hermione slowly inched her way closer to Harry. Moody continues, "That way, if anyone's out there waiting for us, and I reckon there will be, they won't know which Harry Potter is the real one." He then smirks

Harry looks at him confused, "The real one?"

"I believe you're familiar with this particular brew." Moody says as he opens a bottle of Polyjuice Potion and smirks again.

"No. Absolutely not."

Hermione sighs, "I told you he would take it well."

Harry looks at her then back to Moody worried, "No, if you think I'm gonna let everyone risk their lives for me..."

Ron scoffed, "Never done that before, have I?"

Harry turns and looks at him, "No! No, this is different. Taking that, becoming me, no!"

Fred chuckles, "Well, none of us really fancy it mate."

George smiles, "Yeah, imagine if something went wrong and we ended up a scrawny specky git forever." He chuckles as well.

Moody sighs, "Everyone here is of age, Potter. They've all agreed to take the risk."

A short stubby man clears his throat, " Technically, I've been coerced. Mundungus Fletcher, Mr. Potter. Always been a huge admirer."

Moody growls, "Nip it, Mundungus!"

Mundungus cowers away then Moddy looks at Hermione, "All right Granger, as discussed."

Without a second's notice Hermione yanks some hair out of Harry causing him to grab the back of his head, "Blimey, Hermione!"

Hermione smirks at Harry before walking up to Moody. He holds the potion out to her, "Straight in here, if you please."

Hermione nods and puts the strand of Harry's hair into the potion carefully before stepping away. Moody looks down at it and shakes it slightly as he smiles with great pleasure. He then walks towards Fred and George, "For those of you who haven't taken Polyjuice Potion before, fair warning, tastes like goblin piss."
