Death Eaters Daughter Part Two

Two Hundred Seventy Five

When I woke up, I saw Harry was already pacing the rooms
I looked for Ron, but he was in the kitchen drinking tea looking at a newspaper
Hermione was beside me, she must have sensed I was staring at her. Her eyes opened softly and did the same as I did, looked around for the guys

"Glad you two are finally up" Harry said annoyed

"What's your issue?" I asked, finally over Harry's mood
I opened myself up to his emotions, straight bitterness

"Nothing" he snapped

I looked at Ron and he shrugged his shoulders

"Harry, I think Voldemort's mood is affecting your own...you're letting him into your mind and it's creating issues for you" Hermione said as a suggestion

"I'm fine" he went up to his bag and threw it over his shoulder "get ready"

I rolled my eyes alongside Hermione but got out of bed and went for my bag as well
Ron offered us food but I declined, I would eat when we got back it wasn't a big deal

We all had our polyjuice ready for consumption, I was to turn into a younger looking girl who looked important enough for the guys to pick
Harry and Ron waited long enough to see a group of four people walk together to the ministry entrance, lucky for us

I said my goodbyes to Kreacher, he bowed softly and went back to cleaning the house
The house was cleaner than when Sirius was living here, it seemed he really enjoyed our company and wanted to work

After grabbing a hold of each other's hands we apparated outside the manor
We landed in the center of London, probably only a few miles off from where we were staying
Harry grabbed his cloak and the four of us snuggly walked towards an alleyway
I remember being younger we all fit under his cloak a lot easier

We waited for about ten minutes before the group of wizards walked by
Each one of us knocked one out and dragged them to the alley to hide their bodies
Hermione did an enchantment to make them sleep for an hour, long enough for our polyjuice potion to work
"An hour" she reminded the group

Her identity was Mafalda Hopkins, her name badge said "assistant"
Ron was some block named Cattermore, a support service employee
Harry became a man named Runcorn, a name I recognized from the papers. A senior member of the ministry and a high ranking death eater
I was a young girl named Selene Stewart, her name badge said assistant like Hermione's

"See you all inside" Ron went to kiss Hermione but she shoved him off, he had already forgotten their identities
I could hear him whispering his name over and over while walking away with Harry

Hermione and I decided to stay close, both of us being assistants wouldn't make that suspicious
We walked into the bathroom and waited our turn to use one of the stalls
I pulled the lever after closing my door and felt my body squeeze and release within a few short moments
I walked out of a fireplace and looked around the lobby

I saw some wizards being dragged off by others, probably for questioning
I saw tall men with death eater mask, strutting around like they were some kind of hero
I saw the statue that Umbridge was beside in the paper, when I walked up close I saw in detail the pain carved into each face
They looked like real people

I shook my head and walked further on, finding the most wanted section
I saw my photo smiling at me
Glad they used a good one
My bounty wasn't listed just like my friends, it just said wanted dead or alive like theirs

I felt someone tap my shoulder, when I turned I saw it was Hermione
I sighed in relief
"Have you found the other two?" She asked

I shook my head
"No one from the order has been in here in years...it's intimating to see this many death eaters"

"You scared?" Ron said coming up to our sides "never thought I'd see the day"

"Didn't say that" I said annoyed "I said it was intimating. If you are trying to play like it's not then that's on you"

"Stay focused" Harry snapped

"And they called me Moody Jr" I rolled my eyes  

Our group walked onto an elevator, since none of us knew anything of our identities the best we could do was wonder until someone intervened
The elevator was packed, but we squeezed ourselves into it regardless
I noticed everyone made room for Harry, his character must be a big threat
As the machine went up floors, more got off
Until it was only us

5th floor bell rung, the door opened and a Blonde wizard sneered our way
"Cattermore, aren't you supposed to be in my office fixing that damn ceiling?!"

Ron seemed too stunned to speak
Standing in front of us was Corban Yaxley
I felt my fist shaking but I opened and closed my hand to release tension

"Are you deaf" he snapped

Ron shook his head
"Sorry Sir"

"Your wife is being interrogated at this very moment...what a shame it would be if I sent word that she is indeed a muggle who stole magic and needs to be executed" he sneered

"No I'll go now I'm sorry" Ron gulped

"Well" he said staring at him "this is the floor to my office get to it"

Ron reluctantly left our group, I hoped he retained anything from charms classes in school
This would be an easy fix, the fact that Yaxley is making him do it is just a show of power

He looked at Harry
"Runcorn"
He looked at Hermione
"Hopkins aren't you—"

"Ah there you are" another voice trickled from the hall
A short lady with enough pink to put Madame Puddifoot's out of business walked towards us
Umbridge

"My dear I've been looking for you, good that you're on the elevator. Let's head down" Umbridge said getting on beside Hermione
She looked at Harry and I
"You two are leaving correct?"

"Yes" I said walking away from Hermione
I stepped off the elevator, feeling terrible for her but I couldn't do anything to help
I had Harry beside me and as long as we didn't get separated we could figure out what to do about the locket and Umbridge
Hopefully Hermione figures it out before Harry goes rogue

"There you are" another familiar voice yelled out in the distance
It seems that the people we chose to be are typically where they belong right away

Percy Weasley went running up to me
"Please don't take off like that, you'll make him angry if he's held waiting too long" he looked at Harry "Runcorn"

Harry nodded his head

"This way" Percy grabbed my arm and dragged me down the hallway

Percy looked so tired, worse than before
I wanted to know what he's been going through but I didn't have time to ask

"Percy" I whispered

He glanced at me
"Yes?"

"It's me Cora"

He looked like someone had slapped his face
He stopped dead in his track, his eyes never left my own
"Tell me you're joking"

"I'm not we're here for a horcrux" I whispered
He looked back and forth, panic sent it's way through to me
"What's wrong?"

"You couldn't have picked a worse person to impersonate" he said

"Trying to make me late Weasley??" A demanding voice boomed through the lobby

There, storming his way towards us was Draco Malfoy
I looked at Percy and then myself, now understanding what he meant
The girl I transformed into was his assistant
