Forever Home | Draco Malfoy

Chapter 5-3: The Order Of The Phoenix

Draco left just before dinner on Saturday night. It felt weird around the house for Desiree in his absence but only for a short amount of time. For she was now leaving to stay at Headquarters for the Order of the Phoenix.

"Are you ready darling?" asked Mrs. Alcyone as she peered into her daughters' room.

"Yes. I was just about to meet you downstairs," Desiree grabbed her things and walked towards her mother.

"Now remember, your father and I will be there for a short amount of time before I will have to leave in order to get Harry but your father will be in the meeting," said Mrs. Alcyone.

"I know, I know. You've told me this so many times already. I'll just hang out with Hermione and Ron. I'll be fine," Desiree looked to her mother.

"Alright, come on. Oh and one more thing," she paused. "I need you to promise you won't tell Draco or your other friends about the Order. It's secret for a reason."

"I promise I won't say anything. I've told them we were just going to be traveling," said Desiree.

"That's my girl. Now come on before your father thinks we got lost on the way down the stairs," Mrs. Alcyone smiled. The pair then quickly walked downstairs to the entrance of the house where Mr. Alcyone stood.

"There you two are. I was beginning to think the two of you got lost on your way down the stairs," Mr. Alcyone chuckled.

"I told you," Mrs. Alcyone giggled towards Desiree.

"Is everyone ready? We'll be cutting it a bit close but I think we'll manage," Mr. Alcyone looked to his watch.

"We're all ready. Now let's go before Moody really goes mad in your absence," Desiree chuckled. And just like that the family of three began flying through the air on their brooms in the direction of headquarters. Desiree was amazed by the beauty of the landscape on their journey. She knew why her parents loved to travel; they loved seeing the beauty of earth. Before she knew it the three now stood in front of Number 12 Grimmauld Place.

"It's about time you lot showed up. Ayla we have to go," Moody stood up and walked out of the door with the rest of the group that was set to pick up Harry.

"I told you," Desiree giggled to her mother.

"Yes you did," she laughed. "Alright I have to go."

"Be careful," said Desiree.

"I will I promise," she grinned before walking back outside.

"It looks like I've got to get to the meeting. But if you need me you know where to find me," said Mr. Alcyone.

"I know. I'll just find Ron and Hermione upstairs," said Desiree before making her separate way with her father. Desiree walked slowly up the stairs to look at everything on the walls. Though this place was being used for good it had an eerie feeling to it. "Ron? Hermione?"

"Desiree? Oh Desiree it's you!" Hermione said excitedly as she hugged her.

"Hermione you have to let her actually walk in the room first," Ron chuckled.

"Right sorry," she chuckled. "So, how is everything?"

"Well besides the most dangerous wizard returning I'd say fine," Desiree said with a sarcastic smile.

"You know what I mean," said Hermione.

"Oh fine," Desiree exhaled. She then told Hermione everything that had happened over the summer, the nightmares, how she was feeling better now, she even told them about Draco staying at her house; she of course told them she wouldn't say a word to him or the others about the Order.
