This chappy is very short but I wanted to give you a little something before I go...


"Draco!" Hermione screamed, running over to the empty cots she turned around to find her husband getting out from behind the drapes, he was in his boxers and shivered slightly at the cold on his skin, as soon as his eyes roamed over the cots his naturally pale skin whitened. Panic set in Hermione when she looked into his grey eyes and knew that the horror that was shown in his eyes was written on her face.

"Weasley." Draco hissed reaching the same conclusion the same time as Hermione, stopping only long enough to grab their wands both parents ran from the room still dressed in their nightwear.

It took forever to get to the Gryffindor tower. Everything seemed to move in slow motion, a few people were walking about the castle but Hermione didn't stop until the finally reached the Fat Lady, "Password?" the portrait asked. "I don't know the fucking password, let me in!" Draco demanded, the Fat Lady turned her nose in the air "No password. No entry." Hermione calmly held her wand aloft and waved it in from of the canvas "I swear if you do not let me in there I will burn you down." she threatened.

Clearly startled at such a promise of violence from a former House member the woman started to stutter. Draco growled "We don't have time for this. POTTER! WEASLEY!" he shouted at the top of his lungs his voice carrying down the corridor.

"Wow, what's going on?" a timid voice behind them asked, both Hermione and Draco spun around wands drawn to find Neville standing before them. "We need to get in to Gryffindor Tower Neville." Hermione answered as calmly as she could lowering her wand.

Neville took a step forward noticing but not mentioning their apparel. "Honesty." He said the portrait nodded and started to move, impatient Draco yanked it aside the pair ran inside not bothering to thank Neville. Hermione and Draco flew through the red and gold common room "Where are the dorms?" Draco asked her Hermione took the stairs two at a time opening every door along the way until she reached the one she needed.


Hermione opened the door to find Harry sitting fully dressed on a bed in the centre of the room with Ron facing him, both men turned to the door when it opened, "Harry," Hermione all but begged "Where is Ginny?" Frowning slight he shrugged "Why do you want Ginny?" he asked

"Our children are missing." Draco answered, Harry jumped off the bed coming to stand in front of the couple.

"You lose your children and you just happen to think it's my sister? You should look after them better" sneered Ron also standing up.

"Where is she?" Hermione asked again ignoring Ron so she wouldn't have to kill him.

"She went home."

"What do you mean home?" Hermione asked this time taking a step into the room. Harry looked her in the eye "When you left last night, I showed Ginny my pensive. She knows everything now, she couldn't deal with it so she sent Ron to see me and went home around one this morning, but she wouldn't have done anything to your children Hermione." He tried to reassure her but Hermione would not find comfort there.

"So you tell your wife after 9 years that you were the one that made the first move, she 'decides' to go home, we wake up in the morning with our children missing and bl-bloody all over their beds. Where is she?" Hermione begged, Ron shook his head his hands out in front of him "No, she wouldn't have touched your kids man, Ginny loves children she was gutted when they couldn't get pregnant, wasn't she?" Ron addressed Harry who hung his head.

Draco gave a humourless laugh "You didn't just tell her that you were the one that made the first move did you Potter. What else did you tell your devoted wife when she was at her lowest?"

Hermione frowned at Harry who wouldn't look at any of them, he sighed before he confessed "That she pushed me into marriage I didn't want, that I came on to Hermione hoping that she would somehow find out and end it. That I've been buying all of Hermione's books just to keep some sort of contact with my friend, that maybe it was a sign when we found out that we couldn't have kids instead of bringing them into a loveless marriage and that I hadn't loved her for nearly 11 years." The words rushed from his mouth.

Hermione groaned and Ron paled "You little prick!" he started but Hermione got in there first and louder "My children are missing just after you tell her that and you still do not think that she would do anything to them. There was blood on their beds Harry!" Hermione felt hopelessness seep through her bones and she sagged, she would have fallen to the floor if not Draco had caught her "Hermione!" she heard Ron cry out.

Draco turned her so he could hold her face "Hermione don't you dare do this to me baby, you need to use that beautiful brain of yours. Come on baby come on." She found his grey eyes, his beautiful grey eyes. She had Draco and no matter what, they would find their children and get the hell out of this Hell hole, she found herself nodding to him, Draco flashed a brief smile at her and steadied her.

"I'll help you look for them." They looked at the ginger man, who had just offered them help.

"If your help turns out to be some sick trick Weasley..." Draco stated not needing to finish the sentence; Ron looked affronted "If your kids are missing then you have a whole castle worth of people that will help you look for them." He stated. Draco nodded, "Call a meeting and get everyone in the Great Hall, I will go home and see if I can find Ginny." Harry said.

"I don't think that would be such a good idea, you're just ruined my sisters life, you aren't allowed to go near her!" Ron said getting worked up again.

"Enough. Draco you go with Ron after we've got everyone one together, Harry can help everyone look over the grounds with me."

"You two better get changed before you do anything." Ron advised.

"I can't go back into that room." Hermione confessed Ron nodded "I'll go I'm sure a nice former Slytherin will let me in." With that the red head moved pasted everyone and left.


The trio were not far behind him, Hermione felt a little hopeful now that there was a plan. Within minutes they reached the Great Hall, like the night before there were lots of people gathered around in groups. Most of them stopped their conversation to turn around and stare.

"Is that your mummy and daddy?" Hermione heard a soft voice ask behind her, Hermione should have got whip slash the speed in which she turned around, Luna Lovegood and Zacharias Smith were in the entrance way and they stood holding the hands of a small boy who was covered in dirt and what looked like dry blood "TY!" Draco yelled noticing the child.

Hermione and Draco raced to him crashing to the floor in their haste to reach him Hermione clenched him to her chest as she felt Draco's strong arms wrap around the pair of them "Oh my boy, my boy." Hermione whispered Ty started crying "Mummy, Daddy."

"Are you hurt son?" Draco asked, he small boy shook his head, Hermione released the child a little and examined him, lifting his top up, turning him around she found bruising along his arms but no cuts, she didn't know where the bloody was from but it wasn't from him. "Sweetheart, where is Grace? Where is your sister?" Hermione asked running her fingers through his filthy hair.

"Okay, here are your clothes" Ron's voice echoed around the now silent Hall "You found them!" Seeming to pick up on the mood Ron quickly became quite but Hermione nor Draco turned to look at him.

"She took us outside but I didn't want to go she was hurting me and Grace didn't want to go but she picked Grace up and I ran away I hide from her in the park like I hide from Daddy." Ty said, looking up at his Father.

"I'm glad you did son, so very glad." Then he frowned "What park?"

"I found him by the Forbidden Forest; Zacharias and I were going to look at the Thestrals." Luna supplied.

"Who were you hiding from darling?" Hermione asked, drinking in her sons face from his frown that was the so like her to the shape of his lips which he shared with his father.

"The fat lady, the one with the red hair."


Right that is it from me until I get back from my Sonisphere Festival :)
