Hey! So here is the new chapter, i'm not very please with it, but i'm not too sure how to improve it, but nonetheless i hope you enjoy it :)
'No, please! NO, I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!' She screamed in her sleep and a startled Draco ran into her room.
She was dreaming. Dreaming was usually a word one would describe with a positive vibe, but this one, on no; this one had turned ugly.
'Granger' He tried calling her name gently. No Response. 'Granger, wake up, it's just a dream' No Response.
He sighed. 'Hermione, you need to wake up'
She let out a blood curdling scream and shot up in bed gasping for breath. She looked toward Draco who had concern written all over his face.
'Are you okay? I tried waking you up but you just kept asleep, its like the dream didn't want to let go of you, until you had suffered enough…' His voice trailed off and she looked him in the eyes. Those grey orbs that permitted her entrance into his soul.
'Would you get me some water please?'
Her whole body trembled as Draco got up to fetch some water. She drank it as she let it quench her throat. She muttered a thank you and decided to get up. There was no way she was going to be able to sleep now, not with the threat of those previous dreams still lingering in her mind. Draco stumbled downstairs lost in his thoughts. When he had heard her scream previous events of the past night flitted through his mind. He knew that it had scared her, but she was defiant, it wouldn't get to her. She wouldn't let it. She bounced downstairs in jeans and a sweater and shot a beaming smile at him. Was she even the same person as the weak, helpless girl he had rushed too just a minute ago?
'What would you like for breakfast Draco? I was thinking I quite fancy some waffles? How about you?' He noticed as she was busying herself around the kitchen preparing the equipment, that her wrists were even worse than last night. A wave of sympathy ran through him and he decided to help.
'How about I make breakfast this morning? I do know how to cook, being the amazing man I am' He shot her a wink followed by a dazzling smile to which she replied with one of her own.
'Well I suppose, BUT if you burn my breakfast then you shall owe me one wish' She looked menacingly at him.
'Ooooh, Deal's on Granger and if it isn't burnt you owe me one wish'
'Sounds fair. Hey Draco? Have you seen my wand? I can't find it anywhere?'
'Oh no, I bet you dropped it yesterday when we were running, I thought I saw something fall, but I didn't want too stop.'
She sank in to a chair and groaned. 'Now what am I going to do? I mean I can't protect myself if anything did happen.' She put her head in her hands. Draco's voice revived her from her momentary regret of loosing her wand.
'Breakfast is served, and it maybe a little to grilled, but y'know…' He looked sheepishly at her as she observed her breakfast. It looked like someone had just given her a lump of charcoal on a plate.
'Oh Draco, I do believe this is the WORST waffles I have ever eaten, which means I get a wish' Laughter was evident in her voice as she looked at him.
'Well, at least you'll remember me when you look down at a waffle you will think. Draco, Draco.' His attempt to be poetic was funny, but she could tell he was avoiding her comment.
'Draco, you owe me a wish. I want to get a new wan-'
'No.'
'But you said I could have a wish'
'Yes. But to get a new wand would mean Ollivanders, and that's in Diagon Alley. My job is to protect you, and you have made it easy so far, but im afraid you will have to wish for something else'
'No! I need a wand Draco and you know it. Say something did happen, if I don't have a wand to protect myself and you're not around, you won't have much of a job anymore'
'I will protect you. You don't need a wand. We can get one from the village; someone's bound to have a spare one.'
She walked up to him and put her hand on his shoulder. 'Draco, I need a wand, and we had a deal. One wish. We both know at some point someone is going to find us, so we need to be prepared. I know you can protect me, but if we were ambushed by more than 3 death eaters, you know we wouldn't have a chance.' She looked him in the eyes and knew she had won.
'Fine, but you stay by my side the entire time. Do you understand me? If anything happens you apparate straight back here. I mean it Hermione; you don't stick around, if I say we go, we go.'
She nodded and he sighed. This was going to be hard, they didn't have enough time to make polyjuice potion and they didn't have the ingredients anyway. No one would see them if they apparated straight to Ollivanders.
'HERMIONE? ARE YOU READY?' He called up the stairs and she came down with a purse.
'Yes' With that he caught her hand and apparated them. This was going to be dangerous, extremely dangerous.
They landed onto the step outside Ollivanders and Draco hurried her inside the shop. He surveyed the surroundings satisfied that no one was about. He joined Hermione in the dark shop with rows and rows of wands behind the wooden counter. A scrawny man appeared the other side of the counter.
'How may I help you?' He looked pointedly at Hermione as she instinctively moved to Draco side. She looked at him and he nodded. It was safe. She stepped forward to Ollivander.
'Hello sir. I was hoping you would be able to supply me with a new wand. Mine broke in an unfortunate accident last night.'
Mr. Ollivander eyed her curiously. 'Of course, of course, come here my dear. This wand is Dragon Heartstring with Unicorn tail; springy 10 inches'
She took hold of the wand and waved it. A fierce gust of air shot through the room and blasted a plant pot in half.
'Perhaps not' The old man returned the wand to it's box.
'Ahhhh how about this wand? An old one, made the day after you bought your last wand .' She looked to him shocked, how did he remember the day she bought her wand? Strange, but a regular occurrence with every customer who ever bought a wand from .
She picked the wand up and waved it. A glow suddenly appeared around her form and she knew this to be the wand.
'I'll take it. If you don't mind me asking, what is this wand?'
'That wand , is made from Goblin heart, and Dragon hide, 11 inches.' He replied and put the wand in the box.
Draco appeared behind her and put his hand on the small of her back. 'Time to go,' He had gotten more and more apprehensive as their time with the old man had grown. Something felt eerie, like they were being watched.
'I'm afraid , Miss. Granger shan't be going anywhere,'
'What do y-you mean? Hermione stuttered as she picked up her wand and walked straight to Draco's side. The old man gave no reply.
Draco pushed Hermione behind him and aimed his wand at the old man's neck.
'Explain. NOW'
'Well , perhaps you should open the small closet in there. It might help you to understand.' He smiled cruelly at Draco and eyed Hermione. She moved closer to Draco scared of what he was going to do. Draco grabbed Hermione's hand as she opened the door, Draco never taking his eye off of the creepy shop keeper. Hermione screamed and hid her face into Draco's chest. There, a complete replica of the old man who had just sold them a wand, lay sprawled across the floor, covered in flies and maggots, devouring the rotting body of a very much dead, Ollivander. The stench filled the room and made Draco's stomach lurch. They needed to get out. Now.
He looked toward the counter where the old, scrawny shop keeper was morphing back to the original wizard who had fooled them into thinking he was . Draco pulled the distraught Hermione from his chest and hid her behind his back, he whispered to her to get her wand and edge toward the door. As they did this '' cackled at them to reveal the man who had attempted to attack Hermione last night.
Draco instinctively shot a curse at the vile, balding man and ran out the shop, with Hermione in tow. Deatheaters plagued the street like a dirty disease as the two ran. 'Hermione im going to fight them to keep them away, but I need you to apparate us back to outside grounds of the cottage' She nodded and as Deatheaters began to close in Draco defended them as they apparated.
They landed in a heap on the ground and Draco clambered to his feet and noticed Hermione barley able to walk. He carried her bridal style and ran through the wards of the house. Safety. They had reached safety. Draco collapsed in the living room with Hermione and looked to her.
'Hermione' He said her name urgently, she had to be okay. She had to be 'Hermione are you alright?'
She nodded and buried her face into his neck as she cried. He held her and wrapped his arms around her in a warm embrace. A warm feeling grew in his stomach and he kissed her forehead to comfort her. She looked up at him with her deep brown chestnut eyes and he became captivated in them.
'It's going to be okay. I promise' he whispered to her as she once again buried her chest in the muscular embrace of the boy she was beginning to like. The boy she would soon begin to love.
