The Whispers

Eleven

The mission was simple. Kill off a group of people that had been terrorizing a Muggle neighborhood. Of course, Harry wasn't stupid and he requested half the money beforehand and half after, which the employer happily complied to.

Hermione had stayed behind to direct them and make sure things would go smoothly. They had all taken a potion that Draco had made specially for them that would allow them a link to each other's mind for twenty-four hours so they could communicate easier. Draco had come along as a Healer in case Harry or Ginny got injured, and Ginny came as back-up for Harry. Of course, there had been seldom times where Ginny had actually saved Harry, but Harry still insisted she come with him just in case and Ginny agreed.

As it turns out, these 'people' that had been terrorizing a Muggle neighborhood had been Death Eaters, of all the people. There were only five, maybe six, so it wasn't that many to deal with. However, Harry and Ginny fought with all their strength.

Harry discarded his wand in his trunk before he left and used wandless magic. Harry had done work for Voldemort before, and they had all come to an agreement that Harry wouldn't kill any of the members in his inner circle so long as he wouldn't send Death Eaters after them. However, Harry knew that these weren't members of his inner circle and they were disposable, so Harry had no qualms about killing them. By the time Harry and Ginny had taken care of the Death Eaters, both were soaked in blood and Harry felt disgusting.

Once Draco saw them, he laughed causing Harry to glare at him before a smirk grew on the raven-haired boy's face and Draco's eyes widened as he realized what Harry was going to do. "No," Draco spoke as he slowly backed away from an advancing Harry, but Harry didn't give up. "Don't you dare!" Draco tried again, but Harry launched himself at the blonde, tackling him and causing Draco to squeal loudly as he did.

The blood was still fresh and it rubbed off onto Draco's own clothes as Harry pushed his body flush against Draco's causing Draco to blush as heat rushed to his member. Harry smirked. "No?" He purred in Draco's ear. "And why ever not?"

Draco pushed away from Harry, still blushing, and it was Harry's turn to laugh. Draco mumbled something under his breath about Harry being unfair and Harry simply chuckled again. Ginny laughed at Draco, who now also had blood on him, before sobering up and declaring that they should head back before breakfast starts so they could clean up.

Meanwhile, at the Manor Hermione had been dragged down from her room by Ron, only to completely ignore her breakfast and silently cast a spell on her palm that was linked Ginny, Draco, and Harry and showed their vitals on her palm. Occasionally, she mumbled to herself (or to Harry, Draco and Ginny, but the others didn't know that) and then she'd receive strange looks. Finally, after a particularly loud exclamation of words in a foreign language that nobody at the table could understand, Remus decided to place a hand on her shoulder, causing her to jump out of her skin.

"Are... are you alright?" Remus questioned cautiously and Hermione looks at him in surprise. She had completely forgotten they were also in the room with her.

"Yes," she responded hesitantly, looking down at her hand and letting out a sigh of relief as Harry's voice sounded in her head telling them that they were heading back then. "Yes," she said again, more firmly this time as she looked away from her hand and began to shovel her breakfast into her mouth, only then realizing how hungry she had gotten.

"Okay," Remus responded, still glancing over at her, but he let it go and shrugged at James who was giving them both a curious stare.

It wasn't long before Harry, Ginny, and Draco arrived back at the house. They had expected to get back sooner, but ended up getting back after breakfast had already started. When they walked through the front door, Draco was still complaining about the blood that had dried on his clothes, Ginny was still laughing at the scene, and Harry was still smirking triumphantly. Hermione immediately got up and pulled the three into a hug, while the others in the room simply stared.
