"Welcome, it's been a couple of months since we've had a meeting. The last we met was on the demise of our own, of Neville and Hannah." Tom had just got his answer. "Before I get on to a pressing matter first of all let me introduce you to the new members of the Army and would like all of you to give a formal introduction of yourselves as well." Harry sat down and motioned to Tom and Dudley to stand up.

They introduced themselves. When they sat down, the rest of the Army stood up in turn to introduce themselves to them. Other than everyone that they already knew the Army comprised of Cho Chang, Seamus Finnigan, Dean Thomas, Anthony Goldstein, Lee Jordan, Parvati Patil, Ernie Macmillian, Ron's entire family the Weasleys George, Bill, Charlie, Percy who was sitting alone as the Minister for Magic had not accompanied him.

Once everyone had settled down comfortably Harry stood up again and started speaking.

"Today's meeting has only one agenda, Draco Malfoy. We have discovered, at great peril to the life of the Hogwarts' Deputy Head that Malfoy has been working with the man who killed Neville and Hannah."

Harry's words followed several outcries of anger. Many of them had trusted Malfoy. Harry told them of the invasion in Hogwarts and how this new Voldemort had attacked them and how Tom had saved them just in time. "Tom here, followed him to the Malfoy Manor which can be penetrated by this new Voldemort and Malfoy along with some of his deatheaters, dozen by the count of it." All eyes turned to Tom who sat rather transfixed. He had not expected Harry to reveal to anyone everything that he had done so far. Now, Padma, Dudley, Porch and Madam Brown knew how he had been landing himself into the hospital wing so much.

"He seems to be quite powerful." Lee spoke up.

"He is." Ron answered his unasked question.

"What does he look like, this new Voldemort?" George asked.

Harry stopped for a moment, he knew someone would ask that, he was already prepared for it. "He had disguised himself like---_"

"Tom!" Before Harry could finish, someone else had spoken up. Harry had frozen where he stood. He had been about to say a student'! He looked around the table searching for the voice and finally found it. It was Lavender. Again all eyes turned to Tom who looked restless enough to die any second. He was looking down at his shoes not daring to look up at anyone, breathing heavily as if he had just run a mile.

"That's what Seth and Malcolm said!" Lavender explained at the Army's confused look. "When Hogwarts had been invaded, all three of Seth, Malcolm and Tom had been cursed but the moment Seth and Malcolm came to, all they said was that Tom had cursed them, but that couldn't have been, because, Tom had been cursed as well. That's why they didn't know who had attacked them! It was this new Voldemort, wasn't it?!" She asked turning to Harry.

"Yes." Harry answered quietly looking at Tom who looked up at him feeling his gaze, his expression frowned. He nodded to the Army at their questioning glance at him.
