In Hogsmeade

It was a rather cold day in Hogsmeade when Draco Malfoy found himself staring straight at the small red brick building a sinking feeling rising in his chest.

He didn't know whether to go in or burn the place and all inhabitants. You see, a certain person owned this building. A person Draco had hated and tormented for years. It was owned by none other then bushy haired buck toothed Hermione Granger.

The reason he was in front of this certain building instead of running the other way was because he needed help. And she most certainly wouldn't help him no matter what he payed her. Draco sighed and looked around making sure no one was watching him enter the building. No one was. It was still early in the school year so no children would be running about and any sane person would be inside on a day like this. A cold wind bit into Draco's cheeks making him think longingly of the fireplace he could see inside the shop.

Draco sighed and puffing out his chest a bit and then realizing how ridiculous he looked quickly exhaled.

Draco stepped forward and opened wood door a bell tinkling when he did. He stepped through and closed it walking forward to what would ultimately be his destiny.

Behind him the sign hanging over the door creaked on rusted chains in the bitter wind.

Finders Finds

Hermione heard the tinkling bell the tell tale sign of a new customer.

She set her book down and walked over the archway that led from her living quarters to her store and pushed the gauzy curtain aside.

And immediately drew her wand at the sight that appeared before her.

None other then Draco Malfoy was standing in her cozy shop scooting closer to the fireplace apparently trying to get warm.

"Malfoy!" Draco looked up from eyeing the fireplace and into her wary face. "What are you doing here?"

Malfoy stood up and reaching into his pocket paused. Hermione eyed the hand in his pocket and fisted her wand a little tighter. "I said what are you doing here Malfoy?" Draco scowled at her. "I know what you said, but I can't tell you." Hermione raised an eyebrow at this. "And why can't you?"

"Because it's important and I don't want you to steal it." Hermione shook her head at him. "And why would I want to steal anything of yours?" Malfoy raised an eyebrow at her trying to keep the smirk off his face. "Because Granger," he drawled "it's a clue. A very special clue, detailing to the whereabouts of a very special book, that I just so happen to think that you can find."

Hermione flicked her wand two armchairs and a tabled scooting closer to the fire. "Sit Malfoy."

Draco nodded in thanks and sat down in the arm chair closest to the fire. Hermione looked at him and then he blue lips. "Would you like some tea Malfoy?" Draco nodded. "Yes but none of that Earl Grey shit I can't stand it."

Hermione nodded understandingly and walked back to her living quarters and the kitchen, questions swirling around in her head. Why would Draco Malfoy come to her to find something? True she was the owner and only employee of Finders Finds, a business known for finding rare artifacts and lost treasure for profit. Many people came to her counting on her and her alone to find it for them.

But Draco Malfoy could have surely gotten someone else to find it. Why her?

Hermione finished stirring the tea not even remembering ever starting it. She the pot on a tarnished silver tea tray along with her finest china not even knowing why she was trying to impress Malfoy of all people.

Hermione walked back to the store front flipping the open sign in her window to closed with her wand.

She set the tea on the table Draco looking extremely grateful reached out and grabbed a cup not even bothering to blow on it to cool it down. He gulped it down and his face regained color.

Hermione crossed her grey slack covered legs and stared at Malfoy intently.

The Knowledge of Yein

Draco felt a pair of eyes watching him and upon lowering his cup found Granger staring at him intently.

Draco set the cup down on the tea tray and leaned back into the chair feeling comfy and warm again. It was a rather cozy shop and just being inside could make you feel warm and safe. "Now Malfoy," Hermione started but Draco held up a hand silencing her. "Granger I need a vow from you saying that what I'm about to reveal will not be told to another living soul and will only be discussed between you and me."

Hermione frowned, he must be really serious if he wanted a vow. Finally she nodded. "Alright Malfoy. I vow to never divulge what you reveal to me and what we discuss will only be discussed between us." Malfoy nodded in agreement with her vow and powerful magic swirled around them causing Hermione's hair to lift up a bit and settle back down gently.

Draco stood up and brought out a scroll colored yellow with age and torn on the edges. He placed it carefully on the table where there was still space. He opened his black corduroy coat and took his wand out from a hidden spot. He held the wand tip to the scroll and whispered.

"Reveal the divine spot." The scroll unfurled and lines of ink began to take shape outlining a map with words on it. Hermione's eyes grew wide when she read the top of the map.

"Map to the Knowledge of Yein." Draco whispered to her.

Knowledge of Yein

Hermione reached a hand out towards the map her hand barely touching it.

Hermione turned to Draco her eyes shining in wonder.

"How did you get it?" her voice was barely a whisper.

"I was cleaning out the Manors library when I came across it. I knew I couldn't trust anyone with it, so I closed the Manor down and locked myself up in my study for weeks trying to figure it out. When I couldn't find out where it was located I thought of everyone who could help me locate it. I considered Dumbledore, Snape and then, you. I knew you would be the only one able to help me because then I could just hire you and you would get credit for finding it but I would get to keep the book you see? And the other to would want to copy it and hand it out. Well at least Dumbledore would, I'm sure Severus would only loan it to trustworthy people." Draco inhaled, a breath his face red from trying to explain it all in one sentence.

Hermione only nodded. Draco looked at her pleadingly. "Can you help me?" Hermione stood up and walked over to the giant world map that hung next to her bookcases, displaying old books and artifacts, behind a glass window. She studied for a few minutes and then finding the small area of land hidden in the depths of the jungle in South America turned back to Draco a triumphant look on her face. "I think I already found it." Draco jumped up from his seat and strode over to her. "Where?" Hermione pointed. "How do you know this is it?" "Because that's were I hid my parents when I erased their memories. I hid them in the one place where muggles nor magical folk could get into, mainly because it's run over with very mean and violent natives but also the most dangerous of creatures. Last muggle who even tried to get near the border of this land was shot with an arrow and then dragged off by a wild animal. No one can get in save those who wish to hide from evil." Draco nodded "Then how are we to get in?" Hermione smirked. "Because while I was there I made sure to make friends with the locals and the chief of the tribe. Turns out they speak English surprisingly well.

Draco turned to her. "Your just full of surprises aren't you?" Hermione just shrugged. "Better then being unprepared. Plus it's time to visit my parents." Draco looked at her confused. "Who said you were going?"

"Then just how are you going to get in and out unharmed Yein being the godess of passion and knowledge will have some rather difficult traps set up for you so you need to be prepared and have a bookworm on hand for the puzzles." "Oh right. Well go pack then Granger. We leave tomorrow." Draco nodded politely to her and walked out of her shop. Hermione sighed. It was going to be a long and difficult visit.

Leaving

Hermione had completely forgotten that the next day she had promised to make her special breakfast for Ron, and Harry. The two aurors came over to her house on Fridays to have her special pancakes, but this time she had completely forgot. And by the time they had got there, Draco was there suitcase in hand and her getting one last cup of coffee.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOUR GOING TO VISIT YOUR PARENTS WITH THE FERRET?"

Ron screamed at her, Harry in the background wincing and sitting down next to Draco who didn't look to pleased by the arrangement.

"Ron please! He just wanted to see the jungle and since I was going I offered to take him with me."

Hermione scolded him. "He can go without you!" Ron told her a his red face matching his hair and his arms crossed. "Please Ron just get out, I'm going to South America with Malfoy whether you like it or not."

Hermione covered her face with one hand the other pointing towards the door. Ron scowled. "Fine Hermione just fine, but don't come crawling back to us when that THING over there uses you!" He spat with obvious disgust. Hermione looked at him. "Ron get the hell out know before I castrate you." she growled at him. Ron turned around with a snort and stormed out of the shop. Harry stood up and hugged Hermione. "I'm sorry he'll come around don't worry. He's still upset that you broke it off and is dating again already." Harry pulled back with a smile on his face patted her on the shoulder and went to follow Ron. Hermione turned to Draco her nose wrinkled in disgust. "Does everyone think we're dating?"

Draco smirked at her. "Apparently so Granger. Now are you read to go or not?" Hermione nodded and grabbed her bag Draco doing the same. Draco stalked over and grabbed her forearm.

"Hold on tight Granger."

And they swirled away.

Arriving

The private plan shook again buffeted by the winds. Hermione laughed at Draco his face was paler then normal and his hold on the seats arms where so tight his whole arm seemed to go white from his effort to hold on.

And he was praying.

"Oh dear Merlin, God, Buddha, who ever is listing to me right please let me live through this horrible flight in this giant metal contraption.!" He screamed this last bit as the plane tipped violently to the right.

"OH SHIT!" he screamed Hermione's loud giggles distracting him from his momentary death grip on the seat. "What the bloody hell are you laughing at?" "HAHAH! Your face is hahahha so hahah funny!"

Suddenly the captains voice came on over the intercom. "Well lady's looks like we've reached South America 12 hours of non-stop flying and free peanuts. Hope you've enjoyed the ride and welcome to South America."

Hermione cracked a wide grin, at Draco's extreme displeasure at the captains jokes.

Draco scowled and leaned across her letting her get a whiff of his cologne. It was musky and strangely smelled like the Forbidden Forest after it had rained. It was quite pleasant actually. Draco finally managed to get the window open with a loud "Umpf!" and both gasped at the wide expanse of trees and vines covering the area.

"Welcome to South America, Draco."

And then the planes wheels touched down.
