DISCLAIMER: I Do Not Own Any Of The Harry Potter Franchise Or Characters.


Summary: When Hermione's parents die, courtesy of the Dark Lord of course, Hermione has nowhere to go. Ron and Harry immediately think the Burrow but it seems as if Dumbledore has other plans for her. When that crack-pot old fool demands that Hermione stays at Malfoy Manor, the only one who ISNT shocked is Narcissa.

Hermione moves in during the summer, right before sixth year. The Dark Lord now has different plans for Draco, which doesn't involve Dumbledore; he shall still leave that task to Snape. No, now, Draco must work on something else.... DM/HG

Also, I'll thank everyone next chapter, cuase it's pretty much two chapters combined to make one proper one

So as it happens, my mum had a "little" dinner get-together with the whole crowd. Remus, Tonks, even Dumbledore was there! It was crazy. With everyone using magic, the house was chaotic. Which could either be good, or be bad. But right now, the twins were nowhere in sight, which was good.

Just then I noticed the twins slip in from outside. You see, usually I would approach them and demand where they went, but right now, I don't think that would be the best idea. They looked around. I guessed that they were looking for me, so I slowly backed up, my eyes never leaving them.

Then I bumped into someone. I jumped, and turned around.

It was Luna.

"LUNA!" I whispered, but it would have been a shout of glee, if I could affor the twins knowing where I was. She could obviously tell something was up, because she looks at me in amusement, and asks,

"Hiding from the twins?"

"How did you know?"

"Wild guess. We could leave. Go into town if you want." She said suggestively.

"Great! Let me go tell my mum. Stay here. Make something up if the twins ask if you know where I am." And with that I ran out, into the kitchen.

"Mum! Luna wants to know if I can go into town with her?"

"Of course Ginny dear."

"Thanks mum. See you in a bit." Then I went to get Luna.

"Luna! C'mon! Let's go. Mum's cool with it."

"Joyful! Let us be off then."

We scuttled out of the house as fast as was possible, then ran down to the end of the driveway. Then, we figured it would be safe.

"So my dear Luna, what would you like to do?"

"Well I don't know my dear Ginevra. How about getting some ice cream?"

"I like the way you think."

So we went to the ice cream place in town. I got chocolate, and Luna got mint chocolate chip. Then,, we just wandered around for a bit. We popped into a couple muggle shops, and then it was getting late.

"Well, I'd best be off Luna. I had a really great time tonight."

"Me too. Good luck with your brothers."

"Well, I'll just hide behind Charlie or Bill." I laughed, but on the inside I was truly worried, because I don't know how the twins came across to you, but to me, they were the torture-till-you-give kind of guys.

I started walking in the opposite direction of Luna. I made it up to the driveway, and could see that everyone but my family was gone, and my family were just outside talking and fooling around. Well, everyone was there, but I noticed that two identical figures were gone.

"Hello dear sister!" Fred said, putting an arm around me.

"Good evening Ginevra." Said George, coming up on the other side of me, and putting his arm around me too. It was somewhat like a Ginny-sandwich.

That was when I realized that it was a stupid move to go out, because the twins would find me, and corner me in a place where it would be too far too run to safety, and where they could easily hide ourselves until I caved.

I mean, they always did.
