Colorblind Desicions
What in the world had gotten into the orders head, there was no way this was happening in the slightest. Draco thought enraged, he hadn't any clue really as to why he was here and suddenly Kingsley expected him to work with a quiet idiot, Kingsley's bubbly niece, some weird paranoid chick with a guys name, some youngster that smelled gross, a blind dude, a weird sidekick of the chick with the guys name and the bloody golden trio! Not to mention the weird person that forgot everything, wasn't her name Mellel or something or the other? But still, all of these people were mental, was he really the only sane person in a fifty mile radios of where he was sitting.

"Kingsley, I understand your intentions, but." Hermione stopped briefly, realizing all eyes were on her. "I don't really feel that pairing us up with these newcomers and, Malfoy, is really the best idea. I understand that you hold the newcomers in high respect and that you would trust them with your life, but." She paused again, still looking nervous. "But as for Malfoy, you have got to be kidding me, he nearly killed Dumbledore." She glanced awkwardly at Draco, who's eyebrows had shot up, and there was a faint smirk on his face. "And he's also a death eater, he even has the mark to prove it, he comes from a whole family of death eaters, whats to say that he won't betray us, and please don't insult my intelligence by saying conscience, because he has none!"

By the end of Hermione's rant, Draco was smirking so widely he was about to laugh, he was sure that she couldn't stand him, but by that extent? It made him want to flop down and die of laughter right on the spot, he hadn't thought the "tender-hearted" (Blaise's words not his) Gryffindork could hate someone that much. A few other people around the table were chuckling, especially from Hermione's last line, Ronald Weasley was laughing silently, but very hard. Kingsley took a deep breath and then sighed, he knew that the whole Draco being on the team would make people extremely uneasy and unhappy, but they needed someone on the inside, and the only loose end from the death eaters that they could fine, happened to be the one and only Draco Malfoy.

"Miss Granger, I understand your distrust of Mr. Malfoy, but please understand that he is risking everything, if the Dark Lord was to ever find out what he is doing here, his parents would both be killed on the spot, not to mention what he would do to Draco." Mellel spoke up hastily, and Draco's smirk immediately vanished, he was wondering why that information had to be released to everyone in the order, it wasn't as if they needed to know any of that, besides, since Hermione was so nosy she was bound to find out eventually, and Draco preferred that to be from him if anyone, it was after all, his own business. Hermione had opened her mouth to speak, but Mellel quickly cut across the younger woman. "Please try and be colorblind for this, you can't always see people as green, yellow, blue and red."

"I am NOT working with Ferret-Face." Ron finally broke, he glowered at Draco, who in response, glared right back. "I can not, and will not, work with him." Many people exchanged glances between themselves, they all knew of the famous blood feud between the Weasley's and Malfoy's, so no matter what Kingsley or Mellel could say, it didn't seem like they would be able to get the two men to work together peacefully, or at all. "I'm positive, that his heart changed and he's the Easter bunny now, but I still refuse to work with Malfoy." Ron spoke sarcastically. There was a few faint speckles of laughter around the table, but they immediately vanished when they noticed the look on Kinglsey Shacklebolt's face.

"Mr. Weasley, no one is forcing you to work with Mr. Malfoy, if you refuse to work with him, then you shall not go on the operation, you shall remain here. And as for Miss Granger, I understand you to be a mature young woman, and I think that you will find a way to work with Mr. Malfoy." Kingsley let out a deep sigh, finally shutting them up. "Mr. Potter, do you wish to continue with your hunting of the Dark Lord, or would you like to join the others?" He then turned to the raven haired, green eyed young man, who had been quiet ever since he arrived here, seeming to be in deep and sincere thought, he looked up slightly surprised, realizing that Kingsley had been talking to him.

"I think it would be best if Ron and I continued on our search." That way it didn't lead to any arguments between Ron and Draco or even Ron and Hermione, or all three of them, that would be a wretched day for everybody. "I understand that you trust Draco, but if he hurts Hermione in anyway, you will understand that I will hunt him down until he is rotting in Azkaban." Harry spoke with such a harsh seriousness in his voice, that Draco flinched, everyone knew that Harry and Hermione were just like siblings, so messing with Hermione, was messing with Harry's family. "And I don't think I'd be alone in doing so, there are at least six Weasley's that would happily aid me in doing so, underage or not." Draco visibly gulped at those words, he was positive that Ginny Weasley, even though she was underage, had way more up her sleeve then just the bat-bogey-hex.

"Am I too late?" The sound of a young girls voice was heard and everyone turned to face her in shock. "FANG!" She cried happily and nearly tackled the tall and dark figure. "Ohmigosh Fang!" Angel hugged him, looking as if she never wanted to let go of him. There were many shouts of glee and many people wore stunned looks on their faces. "Oh yea guys, this is Gabrielle Delacour, my new friend." She gestured to the taller and older blonde right behind her, this girl was emitting a silvery glow, and looked incredibly scared standing right there. "We helped each other escape the place where Montgomery was holding us." She stopped and thought for a little bit before she continued. "And Montgomery has millions of cold, dementor things, but I got them to go away, here, let me show you." Angel drew Gabrielle's wand that she had still been holding. She quickly thought of finally being able to be happy with flock again, and then spoke the two words. "Expecto Patronum!" The creature left again, but this time it was more visible what it was. "Oh my WORD! IT'S A PEGASUS!" She shrieked, turning to face Gabrielle, looking ecstatic.
