The Last Battle

Chapter 4

“Remus!” I fling my arms around my godfathers neck and bury my face into his neck.

“Maia! What a surpr-are you alright?” He wraps his arms around me and holds me tight, just like he used to when I was young.

“I have a lot to tell you.” I say, pulling away and closing the door behind me.

Remus only nods and leads the way into the lounge room. I sit down in the familiar couch and lean back, rubbing my eyes which are most likely red and puffy, and possibly smudged with makeup.

“Explain everything from how you got like this to now.” He refers to my messy appearance.

I tell him everything – My job that lasted only minutes, George and the assistant chick, Voldemort, Adeline and finally Fred.

“But when we tested Adeline with magic it showed she only had little, how can you explain that?”

I shrug, “Voldemort probably did something, or maybe Snape; he’s good with potions and the dark arts.”

Remus bites his lip, “Maia there is nothing suspicious about Adeline. She’s got barely any magic, she hates anything to do with Voldemort and she and Fred are clearly in love.”

I shake my head, “I know what I saw.”

“You said yourself that you had been crying a lot. Maybe your vision was playing tricks on you? Maybe she only looked like Addy?” He suggests.

I grit my teeth, why won’t anyone believe me? “How would she know the Order’s plans?”

“Look, I will raise the subject at the next Order meeting, see how she reacts.”

I shake my head again, “No! That would only warn her!”

“Maia, I’m sorry, we can’t do anything at the moment with no clues. It’s a blind case.” Remus sighs and places a hand on my knee, “just let it go? Please?”

I lean back in the chair, “Fine.” Lie.

“Good, now I’ve been meaning to talk to you about something.” He grins and a blush creeps onto his face, he pulls a box out of his pocket, “I want to propose to Tonks.”

My head snaps up and I gasp, “Really? Oh she will be thrilled! Finally! See you’re not too old for her!”

He chuckles, “I guess. There is a war coming so I don’t want to lose her before I marry her.”

“Let me see the ring!” I beg and basically snatch the little box from his hands. I open it and sitting on the small cushion is a gold ring, with a diamond encrusted on the top. My mouth drops open, “Remus! Wow that’s magnificent!”

He nods, “It’s designed for metamorphaguses, try it on if you like.”

I slip the ring onto my finger and gaze at it. The diamond changes to a bright red and then a dull green, to a dark blue to an aqua colour. “Is it supposed to do that?” I ask taking off the ring, it returns to the clear diamond.

“It changes colours for each mood, you must have a lot of emotions at the moment.”

I nod, “I guess I do.”

~~~

“Gin, wake up.” I shake the sleeping red head. She groans and pushes me away.

“It’s Maia and it’s urgent.” I shake her again.

Her eyelids slightly open and she gives me a puzzled look, “Why are you so late?” She asks.

“I was over at Remus’s. Look I have information about Voldemort’s spy.” I push her body over and sit on the edge of the bed. I glance at her clock which ticks loudly; 23:00.

“Have you found something?” She gasps, opening her eyes fully now.

I nod, “I was in Diagon Alley today and Adeline was there. She was giving information on Harry to Yaxley, the Death Eater.”

“I knew it!” Ginny gasps, sitting up and leaning against the bed frame, “Last week I walked into Grimmauld Place and she was writing a letter, I asked her who to and she got all protective, wow I’ve never seen her so bitchy, since then I have been suspicious.”

“Remus, Fred and George won’t believe me! They think I’m just emotional at the moment.”

“Yeah, George told me what happened.” She bites her lip, “are you ok?”

I nod fighting back tears, “I’m alright. How do you think we can uncover Adeline?” I hurriedly change the subject.

Ginny frowns, “let’s confront her tomorrow…I know! We could slip some Veriteserum into her drink or something?”

“Ginny, do you have any veritaserum?” I raise an eyebrow.

She shakes her head, “No. Anyway Hermione says it’s really hard to brew, so plan B." She pauses. "Do you have a plan B?”

I think for a moment, “I like the whole confronting thing, but maybe not tomorrow. We could follow her? See where she goes, if she apparates, who she meets, you know.”

Ginny nods, “We could even feed her false information and see if Death Eaters turn up?”

“Good idea.” I replied smiling.

“This is great and all, but can we plan more tomorrow, I’m really tired still.” She yawns.

I nod and pat her shoulder, “see you in the morning. Operation Phoenix we could call this.”

“I like it!” Ginny grins and lays back down, “Night Maia.”

“Night Gin.”

~~~

“So apparently they moved Dumbledore’s wand. Remus said they buried it beside the Black Lake at Hogwarts because Dumbledore used to sit there and think.” I whisper loudly to Ginny.

“Wow, that’s risky. It’s the Elder Wand! The most powerful wand in the world! Imagine if you-know-who found it, he would be so powerful!” Ginny gasps, peeking over my shoulder to where Adeline was standing nearby.

“I know!” I reply.

I turn around; Adeline hurriedly pretends to adjust a portrait on the wall.

“BLOOD TRAITORS IN MY HOUSE!” The portrait of Walburga Black screams.

Ginny and I burst out laughing, Adeline’s face turns bright red and she jumps away from the painting.

“Shut up!” I yell while laughing. The portrait quietens.

“I didn’t know. Sorry Maia.” Adeline smiles sweetly.

I give her a fake smile and pull Ginny out of the room and into the library, “Step one, complete.”

Ginny smiles, “Now we go to Hogwarts.” We walk out of the library, the front door slams shut. Ginny races to the curtain beside the door and peeks out. “Adeline.” She says. I walk up and stand behind her.

Adeline walks to the large oak tree in the park across the street and glances around, she pulls out her wand and disapparates.

“Lying traitor.” Ginny hisses.

I grab her hand and pull out my wand, “Accio bag!” My duffel bag flies from the kitchen and I catch it easily. “Ready?”

 Ginny nods and we exit Grimmauld Place and disapparate.
