Chapter 1
"Ronald get up!" Hermione said for what seemed like the hundredth time.
"I'm up" Ron said still asleep. Hermione had had it; she pulled out her wand and pointed it at Ron. He flew up into the air and was dangling from his ankle.
"What the bloody hell is your problem?" Ron shouted.
"That is no way to speak to me Ron."
"You could have just woke me up like normal people do."
"I tried about a hundred times. The meeting starts in five minutes." Hermione said as she started to walk out of the room.
"Could you at least let me down?" Ron shouted after her. She flicked her wand over her shoulder and he fell into a heap on his bed.
"Why I put up with her" He muttered to himself while pulling on pants.
"Because you Love her." George said as he entered the room.
"Well she obviously doesn't feel the same way."
"Course she does."
"Yea well what do you know about love?"
"Well considering I'm the one who is engaged I would say I know a lot more then you do."
"Yea whatever." Ron said as he walked from the room pulling on a shirt and heading downstairs.

"So we are winning?"
"Yes Luna we are winning." Said Mrs. Weasley. She was never that fond of Luna to begin with but she had to at least act civil, now that she was engaged to George. Yes for George's sake she thought to herself.
Luna gave a huge grin exposing her blindingly white teeth. George leaned over and kissed her. Luna had defiantly grown up over the summer. She was curvy and her long blond hair was sleek and shiny, and her breasts had grown a surprising amount in such a short period of time, and were quite impressive.
"Well if no one has anything to add then this meeting is over." Snape said as he was leading the meeting.
Everyone got up from the table and went in separate directions, Hermione and Ron and Harry were going to go up to Ron's room to get away from everyone in the overcrowded house.
"Hermione I need to talk to you" Snape said, and seeing the look Ron gave him added "in private if you don't mind."
"Of course" Hermione said then followed Snape outside. They walked side by side to the garage. Snape held the door open for Hermione to enter before him.
"I hate to do this to you." Snape said once he had entered the garage. "but I need a favor."
Hermione only gave him a puzzled look so he continued.
"As I know you and Draco Malfoy are not on the best of terms, but you are the only one I can entrust this task to."
"What 'task' do you want done?" Hermione said complete with air quotes. She and Snape had become close friends during the war, they learned to trust each other and Ron was severely jealous.
Snape gave a smile then continued "Draco has seen the light and wishes to join the Order and denounce his Death Eater ways. He needs our protection.
"And what does that have to do with me?"
"I need your help to protect him. You are the only one I trust to protect him Hermione. Everyone else would just kill him once they got him alone." Snape said sounding very concerned.
"Fine I'll help"
"Good all you need to do is take him when I am gone."
"Whoa wait I said I would help not baby-sit."
"Please Hermione I need you help." Snape said. Hermione looked into his eyes and could tell he was desperate; Malfoy was like a son to him.
"Fine" she finally said after a minute of silence. "But only because he means so much to you."
"Thank you Hermione" Snape said enveloping her in a hug.
"Yea your welcome" Hermione said then walked out of the garage.

The next morning Hermione woke up to the sound of humming.
"What do you want Ron?" Hermione said without opening her eyes.
"Please don't ever call me that again." Came a cold familiar voice.
Hermione shot out of bed and grabbed her wand off the night stand. "What are you doing in my room Malfoy?"
"Well Severus told me I was to stay with you; he left about an hour ago." He said as he unpacked his things.
"So why are you unpacking your things here?" Hermione demanded.
"He said I am to stay with you at all times. So if I'm sleeping here you might want to consider wearing pants to bed." Draco said as he looked her over. She was wearing a t-shirt that said BAM across the front; he assumed it was a muggle thing, and black lace underwear. He didn't mind her not wearing pants once he thought about it, they were both adults after all they could handle it.
"What I wear to bed is none of your business." Hermione spat.
"It is now." Draco said plopping down on a bed that was not there when Hermione went to bed the night before.
"Where is Severus?"
"Oh Severus now is it?"
"Yes we have become friends, which is also none of your business."
"Death Eater meeting, probably looking for me." Draco said
"And why would they waist their time looking for you?"
"I was in the Dark Lords inner circle, I know what his next move is and I know how they operate. What I know could end this war and destroy the Dark Lord. That is why they would be looking for me."
"Whatever" Hermione said "Close your eyes"
"Why?" Malfoy said sitting up.
"So I can change my clothes." Hermione said.
"I have seen pretty much everything as it is." Malfoy retorted.
Hermione gave him a stern look. Not wanting to argue further he closed his eyes and flopped back on his bed.
