TRULY REALITY [A Harry Potter Fanfiction]

74| Locked In

I got up in the morning in a cheery mood. I'm meeting Mr. and Mrs. May after a more than a year. I went and peeped into Harry's and Sirius' rooms to check if they had woken up. However, both of them were completely knocked out.

I needed help seeing that I had to prepare the house for 4 people. Cleaning, dusting, and cooking couldn't all be done by me. I shook awake Harry who shot up into the air. His room looked messy and clean, just like Sirius'. Mine, however, looked like a tornado had entered it.

I started with breakfast and when Sirius hadn't woken up, I went to wake him up. He was sprawled on the bed. I went and tapped lightly at his shoulder. "Sirus....." I called out slowly. There was no movement. I called at his name a bunch of times, but he laid still as if he was dead.

Wait! Was he dead? I took my finger and placed it close to his nose. I let out the breath I was holding, when I felt him breath. I went over and opened the curtains- letting sunlight harshly enter into the room. Sirius growled and rolled over.

"Sirius! Get up!" I yelled quietly. "Cass! Have you seen my black hoodie?" yelled Harry from his room. "You wore that a day ago, it's in the laundry!" I yelled back.

"Everyone quiet!" Sirius yelled. Finally. I sighed and rummaged through his drawer. I handed him the hangover pill and told him to get ready. I had invited Remus too so that Sirius could have company.

Suddenly someone rang the doorbell. Anne's not supposed to be here yet though! It rang again, and I ran to the door with Harry tailing behind me. "Dra-" I started but cleared my throat. "Felicia! What a wonderful surprise!" I said. Draco looked over my shoulder and saw Harry standing right behind me.

"Emergency." he sighed; great worry etched on his face. "I'll be right back." I said to Harry, but he grabbed my wrist when I tried to head out the door. "You can speak from here. At my eye length." He said.

"Har-" I was interrupted by Harry, "Remember the last time you stepped out the door cause' someone called you?"

"Come on! Why would they even think that I would be dumb enough to fall for it twice?"

"Cause' you don't think sometimes..."

"Got that from you Harold." I smiled sweetly, sarcastically. Draco cleared his throat behind me. "Right then! Harry you can check on me through the window." I said.

Me and 'Felicia' headed out. "What happened?!" I asked. "There's a traitor in the order. Someone from your side."

"What?"

"I don't know who it is. But I thought you ought to know.. It's a he. I heard a male voice."

"Are you actually Draco?" I asked. I had my doubts now, since someone came dressed up as Dumbles not too long ago.

"Of course I am! Who else would I be?"

"Well... I don't know. Maybe one of your Death Eaters with Oscar winning acting skills?" I mocked.

"What's an Oscar?" asked Draco.

"That doesn't matter. How do I trust you?"

"Cause I know everything. The curse. Anne and you being possible true souls. Walburga black. Hmmmm Tom Smith!" He said. "And oh! That was mine." he said pointing at the silver chain of my protective necklace that peeked out from my open collar.

"You should leave then. They might find out that you're missing." I said. I was convinced this was Draco. If not, then.... This war was gonna be more hectic than it was.

I went back inside the house and continued with the food preparations. If there was a snitch within us, wouldn't Snape be aware? Why didn't he say anything?
