Chosen

Chapter 41

It was Saturday. Oh god, how the hell am I going to sneak out without anyone noticing? I already had my stuff packed and was ready to leave. I hurried over to Draco's room, where he was reading. Weird, I thought. Draco hardly ever reads.

"Hey." He says looking suspiciously down at my back. "Where are you going?" He asks.

"That's what I came here to talk about." I sat down on his bed. "I'm leaving to help the Order." I whisper.

"WHAT?!" Draco shouts and stands up. "Nyx, if any death eaters see you with them you will be killed." He lowered his voice.

"I know, but the Order has a plan, but anyway, I just came to ask-"

"If I could cover for you?" He guessed.

"Yes." I give him a pleading smile. "Please Draco."

"Alright, but please be safe." He pulled me into a hug. "When are you leaving?"

"Right now." I mumbled. He pulled away and kissed my forehead.

"Be careful, Nyx." He whispered.

"When am I not?" I scoffed and then vanished out of site. I landed right in front of the Burrow, which was now all fixed up due the last encounter of death eaters here. I walked through the front door with my satchel. I used an extension charm on it so I didn't have to carry around a lot of junk. I heard a lot of talking in the living room area. I walked in and everyone stopped talking. I smiled and looked around the room.

"Nyx!" George leapt up and squeezed me tightly in a hug. I got hugs from everyone. The last person to go was...Charlie. I saw him and smiled.

"Charlie." I ran up to him. We both hugged each other tightly.

"How are you Cherry?" he laughed. I pulled away from him.

"Nobody's called me that for a long time." I smiled at the memory. I would come over for the summer secretly from the Malfoy's and honestly, they didn't care. Charlie would come and visit, as he was in Romania. He would come over and we were always the best of friends. He called me Cherry because my hair was redder than any of the Weasley's that summer and that was my nickname from then on.

"Alright, now that everyone's here. We'll be off to get Harry. You know the plan I assume, Anyxus?" Moody looked at me.

"Yes, sir." I nodded.

"Let's go then." He concluded. We all flew on our brooms to number 4 Privet Drive. I flew along side Charlie while everyone else was in front of us. We were the caboose.

We landed our brooms while Hagrid tried to open the front door. Harry then opened it and gave Ron a big hug, same with Hermione.

"Yer lookin' fit." Hagrid commented.

"Yeah, he's absolutely gorgeous. Let's say we get undercover before someone murders him." Moody interrupted and we all flooded inside of the house. I looked at Harry as he motioned us to come inside.

"Harry, I can explain."

"There's nothing to explain. You didn't have a choice at the time, but you did the right thing joining the Order and I'm proud of you." I smiled up at him when he said this. "Come in then."

I entered the empty house and everybody crowded around Moody.

"Hello Harry, Bill Weasley." Bill shook Harry's hand.

"Pleasure to meet you." Harry smiled. Fleur came in and hugged Harry.

"True enough, I got off with a werewolf, Greyback." Bill pointed to the scars on his face. "I'll repay him the favor one day."
