Voldemort has risen to power once more. Though no matter how hard The Order of the Phoenix is trying to stop the war, the Death Eaters always seemed to be a step ahead. As far as Honora could see, it was going to stay that way. While juggling her ex...

Honora walked past the Slytherin dungeons after potions on her way to her next class. Harry had won the liquid luck in their potions class and she wished more than anything she'd gotten it but the directions in the book were misleading. Her potion wasn't even close to being right, though it wasn't the worst in the class by far. The Slytherin girls washroom was the closest to potions and by far the cleanliest in the castle. Honora wondered if the Slytherin girls even used it.
She fixed her frizzy curls with some water and a wave of her hand. Her hair had always gotten twice the size it typically was when in potions class–it was the one thing she hated about her curls. After leaving she turned to the right to continue upstairs to her Ancient Runes class but heard the voices of Pansy and Draco just above her.
"What's the matter Draco? I know you've got a free period. You really don't want to come down to the dungeons with me and you know. .explore mine?" Honora almost threw up in her tracks as she heard Pansy say this to her cousin. "Just for once could you have a bit of class?" She could tell Draco was scowling as he said this. Honora found herself with a scowl as well but hers was more from disgust, intruding onto this conversation.
"Well it's hard to be classy when you treat me so trashy. ." Honora fully gagged when Pansy said this and she was just beginning to turn to leave until Draco spoke once more. "Ugh–! Just leave me be won't you? I've got far more important things to be doing than dealing with an annoying twit like you!" Pansy's heels clicked on the step above as he pushed her back.
"You're such a prick Malfoy!" She finally huffed and began down the steps toward Honora. She quickly cast a disillusionment spell and pinned herself against the wall as Pansy stomped down. Honora ran up the stairs trying to be as stealthy as possible but Malfoy's stride was much quicker and it seemed he was going all the way up. When she reached the top floor she ducked behind the stair banister and watched down the hall as the Room of Requirement doors formed before Malfoy.
Malfoy looked around seeing no one and very obviously determined to do something–he entered the room. She waited until the very last moment, not wanting to be seen before slipping inside. Honora stayed back in the shadows behind a large pieces of furniture watching as Malfoy gazed at his surroundings. After Cho's friend had snitched to Umbridge about Harry and the others, the Room of Requirement became a junk room filled with the things that didn't belong anywhere else at Hogwarts. Draco knew what he was looking for but had no idea where to start looking in the enormous room.
Honora was puzzled why they had chosen Draco for supposedly such an important task. She'd proved herself multiple times to many of the Death Eaters, she knew it was wrong to be jealous, but she was. Though she'd been doing some thinking and there was no doubt Voldemort was pissed that Lucius had lost the prophecy. She thought maybe he had been using his son to punish him.
Her eyes followed Draco around the room as he paced the walkways scanning the forgotten things. His pace began to quicken as he became more frustrated upon not finding the whatever he was looking for. Draco's thoughts raced as he began to think about what would possibly happen to him if he didn't find the Vanishing Cabinet.
