It was Friday Lunch time and Hermione and Ginny were sat a quiet cafe in Diagon Alley with the children. Both their husbands had joined them for lunch and had returned to work leaving their wives with the children and too finish their shopping.

Hermione was nursing Wyatt discretely in the corner hoping no one could see her while Ginny was trying to keep James from hitting Albus with his toy.

'Hermione, do you mind if I cut our shopping trip early. James is playing up and I don't think he'll last much longer if I start dragging him around shops.' Ginny said annoyed of having to blow of her best friend.

'Of course not Gin. He's probably tired; I'll probably just pop into a few shops and go home anyway.' Hermione said as she pulled her top up to cover herself and put Wyatt over her shoulder to wind him.

'Home' James said as he looked at Ginny

'Yes James, were just going.' Ginny said annoyed.

'Really Gin, don't worry. We'll have to just go shopping me and you and Draco and Harry can have the boys for the day.' Hermione said smiling.

'Good idea. I'll see when Harry's next off and we'll have to do that.' Ginny said as she stood up and pulled the blanket around Albus tighter.

'Good.' Hermione said as she stood up to kiss Ginny's cheek. 'It was nice seeing you for lunch anyway.'

'It was. Have fun shopping.' Ginny said smiling.

'I will' Hermione said as she leaned down and kisses James's head. 'Be good for your mummy James.'

Ginny left the cafe pushing her pram with Albus in and dragging James behind her who was whinging; Hermione could see her patience running thin.

Hermione got her stuff together and started her journey down the high street looking at the window displays. She wasn't in the mood for shopping now and Wyatt was starting to fuss, probably still hungry so she made her way down the high street to start heading home.

As Hermione made it down the end of the high street she felt someone watching her. She looked behind her but only saw a few business men walking out of an office laughing a bit merry as it was a Friday afternoon.

She turned into a little lane and rushed down there feeling that she was being watched by someone. Hermione looked behind her again but saw no one. She looked at Wyatt soundly asleep now and she sighed. It was probably the lack of sleep playing tricks on her. As she slowed down now feeling safer, someone grabbed her wrist.

Hermione pulled her wrist away from her attacker and grabbed her wand and turned and pressed it to his chest.

'I wouldn't do that if I was you. Keep walking and don't look back.' The man said.

Hermione looked up to see the familiar blonde hair of which belonged to her estrange Father in law, Lucius Malfoy.

'Take hold of the pram and walk. Come on. You're being followed by Dolohov.' Lucius said as he put Hermione's hands on the pram handles.

'It can't be...he's in Azkaban.' Hermione said as she stared at Lucius in shock.

'He was...Now walk!' Lucius said sharply.

Hermione started to walk down the lane with Lucius by her side and her wand gripped to her right hand.

'Listen closely. I am going to take you back to the Manor and then contract Draco. He's been following you for the last few days.' He said quietly

'What? How do you know that?' Hermione said.

'I have sources. Now don't turn around just keep walking.' He said as he led Hermione out onto the main road and turned his head to see where Dolohov was hiding.

'Has he gone?' She said to Lucius

'He won't come out to the main street; he'll get caught to easily. I need to get you to the Manor now.' He said.

'No. I'm fine. Thank you for helping us but I'll be going home now,' Hermione said as she started to move away from Lucius.

Lucius grabbed her arm and moved closer to him.

'He'll follow you and as much as I would like you out of my son's life I know that he would never forgive me if I let you go home for him to kill you and his son.' Lucius said as he smirked at Hermione as he watched her face turn white.

'Fine.' Hermione said as she tore her arm away from Lucius's gasp.

Draco arrived at the Manor immediately after receiving a message from his father that Hermione and Wyatt were there after an incident in Diagon Alley. Of course Draco thought the worst and rushed to the Manor to his wife and son wondering why his father had let Hermione come to the Manor with their son as he had told them he wanted nothing to do with either of them.

Draco stormed into the family living room and rushed to Hermione who was holding Wyatt in her arms looking shaken up.

'What happened? Are you okay? Wyatt? What's wrong?' Draco said as he looked over Hermione and then Wyatt who both looked fine.

Lucius stepped into the room hearing Draco come in and ask his wife countless questions.

'She's fine Draco.' Lucius said staring at the young family.

'Then why is she here? Why did you bring me here? Tell me what happened!' Draco demanded.

'Dolohov...he's been following me. Someone tipped off your father Draco. He was following me in Diagon Alley. Your father found me and walked with me and Wyatt to safety.' She said looking at Draco.

'Is this right?' Draco said to Lucius.

Lucius nodded his head and looked at Draco. 'He wants revenge and seeing as he has grudges against both of you what better way than to hurt your son.'

Hermione tightened her arms around Wyatt and pressed him to her chest.

'That's not going to happen and I won't let it.' Draco said moving towards Hermione seeing she was about to break down.

'Aurors are on the lookout for him. He should be caught soon but until then watch out when your alone. I would advise not to go out alone.' Lucius said.

Hermione nodded her head and looked at Lucius. 'Why did you help us?'

'Family...you're my son Draco and I know how much your family means to you.' He said as he walked out the room.

Another chapter for you. I hope you like it. I didn't know where to go with it but then I had this idea. It brings Lucius into the loop now and even though he didn't show any interest in Wyatt he will soon...maybe?
