Chapter One
To say that Hermione Granger was surprised would be the understatement of the year.
Hogwarts was long behind them, but the war was still going strong.
As a full member of the Order of the Phoenix Hermione was a busy as ever. In fact she had just gotten back from a Death Eater raid when she got an owl from Dumbledore asking her to #12 Grimuald Place in urgency. She had hardly had time to get unpacked.
Aparating to the front steps, she rang the door bell. Harry Potter himself greeted her.
"Hermione!" he said grabbing her up in a hug.
"Harry how are you?" she asked with a bright smile.
"Been kind of bored lately, but I think something big is about to happen in order for Albus to call you in," he said leading her into the house and down to the kitchen.
Sitting there at the table she saw Dumbledore at the head, Remus Lupin next to him, along with Arthur, Molly, Fred, George, Ginny, and Ronald Weasly, Magonagall, and Snape. There were only two chairs left for Harry and Hermione.
"Well now that we are all here, we can get down to business. I have some news. But before we start, would anyone like a Lemon Drop?" He asked holding a small bag. And with a few eye rolls and head shakes, he continued. "As I said, I have some news. I have had a spy on the inside for quite some years now. He was one of the best we have ever had. Because the only one who knew about him was me. And just so you know, I trust him completely. I believe that we would not have come as far as we have with out him. But unfortunately he was discovered, and this young man went through some server punishment at the hands of the Dark Lord. He had just enough strength to make it to me, before he slipped into a coma that he has yet to come out of. Now as for the reason I have brought you all here. He needs to go into hiding. So I have devised a plan to hide him in the muggle world. Which is where you come in Miss Granger. Being a muggle borne yourself I was hoping that you would take in this injured individual, and live with him as a muggle?"
Every one had been silent during his speech. And after taking in all that he had said Hermione knew what she had to do. "I'll do whatever it takes Albus. Where is he?"
"Excellent. If you Miss Granger would come with me. I think that you might be the only one who could properly handle who you are about to see," Dumbledore said holding out his arm. "I have him hidden right now in a very safe place. If you would all wait here, then I'll be back shortly."
Hermione took his arm and they aparated away from #12
They arrived actually in the Hogwarts Hospital Wing and made their way over to a hospital bed with the thick white curtain drawn around it. With a nod from Dumbledore she grasped the clothe and pulled it back.
Hermione made no move to stifle the gasp that escaped her. Her hand flew to her mouth and for some reason she had to choke back tears. She didn't even notice Madam Pomfrey come up behind them.
There lying in the bed before her was a boy no older than her. His body was bruised and swollen to where he was hardly recognizable. But the hair was unmistakable.
It was Draco Malfoy.
"I leave him in your more than capable hands Miss Granger," Dumbledore said quietly before leaving with a pop.
"He almost didn't make it," the medi-witch said causing Hermione to jump a bit. "I already took care of the broken bones, and all the serious injuries. But I don't know when he will wake up. It could be anywhere from hours to days.
Regaining her voice Hermione asked, "Will my moving him cause him anymore pain?"
"No it shouldn't. He's on enough pain killers to take down a hippogriff. And I will give you some more for later. No doubt he will need it. Just keep him warm and comfortable and he should be fine, physically. We leave it up to you to take care of his mind. I'll be in my office if you need any help moving him," she said before turning and leaving them alone.
"Well Malfoy its just you and me," Hermione said quietly before taking out her wand and levitating him off the bed then wrapping him in a blanket and aparating back to her flat.
