Ch.4
The Burrow-
"My dear child, how do you know what is going on?" Narcissa asked. Hermione didn't want to tell them, they were the enemies, she didn't want to talk to either of them, for any reason. "I was told by my adoptive parents yesterday. They told me that I was adopted, and that I needed to come home. I did, and they gave me a letter from my birth mother. There was a ring inside, when I put it on for the first time, my appearance changed a bit, but nothing drastic. When I read the letter it told me why I wasn't with my mother. It also explained to me about Veela, and that she had been a seer and knew that my mate was your son." Hermione said, not looking at either of them.
When the Malfoy's said nothing, Hermione continued, "Is it true that we will both die if I chose not to go?" She asked sadly. Lucius was the one that spoke this time. "We know that this is a lot to come to terms with, but yes, you are truly Harmony Levant, and you will both die if you do not go to him. I am sorry, but there is nothing that anyone can do. You are Draco's mate, and if he does not have you, then he will die, and if you do not have him, then you will die." Lucius said.
There was a shocked silence, from the way he was speaking to Hermione. The way he was so kind to her, was a big change from the way he had in the past. "You are doing this because you want to save your son?" She asked, angry, but not knowing why. "In part, yes. Your mother was my best friend, and when her body was found, we looked for years, trying to find you. After so much time went by, we gave up hope, and gave up. I loved your mother, more then anything, and you being her daughter, makes us love, and want you with us." Narcissa said as Lucius nodded. Hermione looked at them as if they had both grown four heads.
"But you don't even know me!" She said, in a slight daze. Everything was changing to much, to fast. Hermione couldn't help but want to go back to bed. "We would like to know you, not just for Draco's sake, but for yours." Lucius said, sincerely.
Hermione finally looked up at them both. They looked at her sadly, but also sincerely. She couldn't figure out why, but she believed that they were telling the truth. "I don't know, this is all a bit much." She said seriously. "We know that you may be unwilling, but we want to know if you could accompany us to our home, just so we can find that this is not a mistake. If you are near him, he will know, and he will wake up from the state he is in." Lucius said kindly.
Hermione thought of this for a moment, "What kind of state is he in?" She asked uncertainly. "At this moment, he is in terrible pain. He is not with his mate, therefore it is affecting him horribly. This is how we knew you were still alive, he would not have been this bad if you had already died before his Veela blood took over. If you come near him, he will wake, but after that, we can not be sure." Lucius said.
Hermione could not shake the bad feeling she got, knowing that Draco was in pain. She had never even wanted him around her, so what was it that she cared what he was feeling. "Okay, I will go with you, but you must give your word that if I want to come back, I am allowed, and if I ask to see my friends, they will be able to come to me." Hermione said, knowing that if they agreed, it would make her feel safer.
Narcissa let out a shaky breath, "Yes of course you can, we would never hold you there against your will." She said happily. Hermione gave her a small smile and the woman felt ten times better.
"Hermione, are you sure you wouldn't like at least one of us to go with you now?" Harry asked, eyeing the Malfoy's suspiciously. Hermione shook her head, "Don't worry Harry, I think that they are telling the truth, they don't mean any harm. They are only trying to help." Hermione said, not sure why she was saying this. It just felt like she was supposed to. If she was honest, for some strange reason, she felt that she could trust them.
Hermione stood and looked around at the table at large, "I swear that if I need anything, I will let you all know as soon as I can. Please don't worry, it will be fine." She said as the Malfoy's stepped over to the floo. "Thank you for letting us come to your home." Narcissa said to Mrs. Weasley, before stepping into the fire. "Malfoy Manor' She yelled and was gone in the next second.
Lucius nodded to the room at large and stepped to the fireplace. "I will see you in a moment dear." He said to Hermione before he too yelled "Malfoy Manor" and disappeared.
Mrs. Weasley rushed over to Hermione as she grabbed the floo powder. "Are you sure this is what you want dear, I mean you don't have to do this, there must be another way!" She said. Hermione smiled and hugged the woman tightly. "I am sure, I will come back again, I won't let them get to me." She said, before walking into the fire. She yelled "Malfoy Manor" and disappeared. The room in general was completely silent.
"I hope she will be okay." Ginny said. "She will be, Hermione is smart, she wouldn't do this unless she knew for sure that it would be fine." Harry said. Ron nodded, feeling himself shaking. He knew that he had just lost her forever. She may not be in danger, but if what they all thought was true, she was running to her true love. He got up and left the table before anyone could stop him. They all looked after him sadly, they knew what was going through his mind, but also knew that no matter what they told him, nothing could change the fact that the girl he was in love with belonged to someone else. It didn't help that the person in question had been Ron's worst enemy since birth. Ginny and Harry say back down at the table, knowing that everything was going to be different now. It was going to be so hard to let go of everything that had been and welcome everything that now was.
Malfoy Manor-
As Hermione shook off the dust, she stepped into the Malfoy sitting room. It was truly beautiful and comfortable looking. It was nothing like the stone walled, cold home she had imagined the first time she was here. It was cheery and had a good feeling to it. She looked over and saw the Malfoy's watching her.
"Where is he?" she asked in a whisper. They did not question her, just beckoned her out of the room. She followed them out into a long hallway, and up a couple flights of stairs. She felt a little panicked as they stopped in front of what she could only assume was Draco's door. As they stepped into the room, Hermione seen him, laying there. She gasped thinking that he may be dead already. As soon as she did though, it seemed as if someone had turned his brain back on. He jumped off the bed, almost like an animal, and had her pinned to the wall in just a second.
