As Harry stood on the front steps of Hermione's porch, it started to rain, wiping away the blood that was left on her porch from Malfoy. Suddenly Hermione opened the door.
"Harry?"
"Hermione, are you going to let me in? Or are you going to leave me standing on the porch, because it's wet out here."
"Sorry!" Hermione apologized, "Malfoy just woke up. He's waiting for you"
"For me?" Harry asked, confused.
"I told him that you were coming. He's not very happy about it, but he needs help."
"Take me to him"
"Follow me then" Hermione walked up the stairs and into the guest bedroom, Harry following behind her. What he saw shocked him, there was Malfoy, sitting in the bed, very badly battered and bruised. He had never thought he could see Malfoy look so… so…. beaten. He looked absolutely pitiful.
"Are you done staring yet?" Malfoy asked angrily.
"Sorry, now, you told Hermione that you had information that might be helpful to us." Harry said gently, not wanting to pressure him to much.
"My father has a plan, to destroy not only your Order, but all muggles as well."
"What is it?" Harry said, pressing him for more information.
"He plans to kidnap someone valuable to the Order, then use them to destroy the Order. I don't know who, just someone valuable to your cause. Then, with the Order gone, he will reek havoc on the muggles, destroying them, once and for all. "
"It will probably be you Harry, since you are the most important person to our cause"
"No, it's not Potter." Draco corrected.
"But I thought you said you didn't know who it was" Hermione was confused
"I don't know specifically, but I do know my father said that it would not be Potter." Draco lied. He knew exactly who it was going to be. She was sitting in the room right next to him. Yes, his father was going to try to kidnap Hermione Granger. That was why he had shown up at Hermione's house. For although he didn't like her, he was sick of the way he had been living. He was sick of his proud father, with his pureblood, arrogant ways. So, he was going to protect Hermione at all costs.

"We can't find him, he's vanished."Greyback announced to Lucius.
"Then you're not looking hard enough." Lucius said. "He's planning on destroying us. So what are you going to do about it?" The future of the Dark Side depended on them taking care of this little problem. They must not fail.
"What do you propose we do?"
"You keep looking until you do, think Greyback! If you were going to bring down our side, where would be the most logical place you would be?"
"That Mudblood's,"
"So?"
"So, we go and keep watch on her house."
"Exactly! Now go!"
"Yes sir, Mr. Malfoy."
Lucius watched him go. He wondered what possibly could have made his son turn. What had gone wrong? Why did his son hate him so much? He thought he had been a good parent, teaching him all his ways. So he had been a little harsh in the parenting department, that didn't mean anything did it?
"Have you found him yet?" A worried Narcissa asked.
"Not yet, but we will soon enough." Lucius answered back confidently. They would find their son, they just had to.

After Harry had left, Hermione sat by a sleeping Draco's bed. She had a feeling that Draco knew who the target was, she just didn't know how to ask. She wondered what had made him turn to the light side. What made him show up on her doorstep. After all those years at school, when he constantly annoyed her, what made him pick her. She was after all, in his words, a filthy little mudblood. What made him change his mind?

Harry arrived at the Weasley's doorstep confused about the whole Draco situation. He knocked at their door, which was promptly opened by Ginny. Harry stood their feeling a little awkward. Harry and Ginny had broken up about a year ago, and had since tried to avoid each other. Harry knew Ginny had wanted to get back together, but Harry didn't. A year ago, he realized he didn't love Ginny, and he couldn't keep lying to her, it wasn't fair.
"Harry? What are you doing here?"
"I have to talk to Ron, and pick up Teddy."
"Oh," Ginny sounded disappointed.
"Ginny, you know how I feel. Now may I talk to Ron?"
"He's not here, but I'll go get Teddy for you. Come on in, out of the cold." She opened the door wider for Harry to come in, and left upstairs to go get Teddy. Just as Ginny was leaving, George walked into the kitchen.
"Harry?"
"Hey George, what are you doing?"
"Just getting a cup of tea, I cant sleep." George hadn't been able to go back to the shop ever since Fred's death, it was just to depressing.
Just then Ginny walked back into the kitchen, carrying Teddy. "Here you go," She said, dropping him into Harry's arms.
"Thanks Ginny. See you later"
"Bye Harry."
Harry clutched his sleeping godson and Apperated with a crack. When he landed inside his house, he put Teddy back in his crib. He absolutely refused a big boy bed. Harry actually found the whole thing kind of amusing. Every time he mentioned the bed, Teddy would stand right up, hands on his hips and practically scream the word no.
Harry sat next to his godson. He wondered what had brought Draco, son of the new Dark Lord, to Hermione's house. He wondered what would become of the arrangement, since Hermione and Draco absolutely hated each other. He hoped that Draco would be the reason the Dark Side was once and for all conquered. He wanted a safer world for his godson. A world that would finally be without pain, and suffering. A whole better world. A world, where one day a person could walk down the street without looking over their shoulder to check for anyone following them. That's the world Harry wanted for his godson. He hoped beyond hope, that they could finally end this war, with Draco's help. He just plain hoped.
