Chapter 7: Confrontation

Elle left Hermione up in the room while she went to work, before leaving she warned her to stay around the Leaky Cauldron and if she wanted to visit any of the shops to stay on the main Diagon Alley road which stretches between Gringotts and the Leaky Cauldron.

Hermionon sat on the bed trying to let everything that had happened within the past few days sink in. Quickly she summoned a piece of parchment paper and a quill she decided she wanted to write to Harry before she would write her entry in her diary. Then searching thru her trunk she realized that she had no ink in he trunk. Sighing, she left the room to head to Flourish & Blott's to pick up some ink and a couple books. Leaving a message for Elle with Tom in case she got off work early.

Quickly paying for her items Hermione was leaving Flourish & Blotts when she ran into someone, she began falling backwards when the person suddenly pulled her up by gripping her arm tightly in a bruising grip.

Wincing at the pressure she looked up to see who had stopped her fall. The blood drained out of her face when she saw it was the Grangers, Mrs. Weasley, Ginny, Ron and Professor Dumbledore.

Hermione! I am so glad your alright you have absolutely no clue how worried your father and I have been!" Mrs. Granger fake sobbed, while Mr. Granger glared at her. To anyone passing byit looked like a family reunion. Dumbledore and Mrs. Weasley shared a look.

"I have no idea why you would run off from your loving parents, Miss Granger." said Dumbledore "we will just help them get you bacm to your wonderful home now."

Hermione tried to wiggle out of Mrs. Granger's grip, "NO!" cried Hermione "YOUR NOT EVEN MY REAL FAMILY!"

*SMACK*

Mr. Granger hit Hermione across the face, effectively shutting her up briefly.

Suddenly a voice rang out "Step away from her right now!"

Dumbledore, the Grangers and the Weasley trio whipped around, standing at the entrance oFlourish & Blotts was the silver haired Draco Malfoy, the tan skinned with black haired boy Blaise Zabini, and their best friend brown haired, Theodore Nott.

Obviously, Professor, she doesn't want to go with them. To try and force her to go against her will is just wrong and to even think about letting someone especially a father hit a student under your protection as Headmaster is just wrong." Scowled Draco, as Theodore, Blaise and he made their way to Hermione, who by now had sunk to the floor tears pouring down her face. Draco stood slightly in front of his friends and Hermione while Blaise and Theodore helped Hermione stand up to look at her injury. While looking over Hermione the boys stood so if any curse was thrown it couldn't hit the tired looking girl in front of them.

The boys were so focused on the girl in front of them they didn't notice a wand being drawn and a curse shot towards the three boys. "CRUCIO!" yelled the voice.

Hermione turned justin time to see it shoot towards her heroes, when she reacted without thinking she quicly pushed Theodore and Blaise to the ground out of harms way. She jumped in front of Draco taking the curse for him. Hermione fell to the ground screaming in extreme pain, which was so intense it felt like white hot knives were being stabbed over and over again all over her body.

Draco, Blaise and Theodore whipped around to face the others when they realized Mrs. Granger had pulled out a wand. She turned to Mr. Granger and the others "let's go we will get her later."

Quickly, they all disapparated, leaving the boys with the still screaming Hermione.

Let's take her to the manor hopefully my parents will know how to help her," said Draco while picking up Hermione's body cradling her close to him, he noticed y this caused her screams to turn into whimpers and moaning. They quickly walked to the Leaky Cauldron.

Turning to Blaise, "Check with Tom to see who Granger is staying with her room number is 16." When Blaise walked to the bar to talk with Tom he sent Theo to get all of her stuff fron herroom.

Blaise came walking back after a brief conversation, "Tom says she's been staying with Elle the of Haven Corporation," Draco nodded and waited for Theo to come back down after Blaisewrote a note for Elle to get when she got off her shift. Theo looked at them curiously "How do you know he will give that note to Elle?"

Blaise smirked, "The Leaky Cauldron has three owners my family, Malfoys and the Head of the Haven Corporation. Granger apparently is one of their charges they will be there to get herv within the next 12 hours or less."

Draco nodded to the Floo point next to a grand fireplace quicly taking a fist full of floo powder Theo and Blaise stepped into the fireplace and called out "Malfoy Manor." With Draco carrying Hermione into the Floo followed she let out a blood curdling scream as they flooed away trying to soak into Draco's skin.

Narcissa Malfoy sain the parlor of her home responding to the owls she had recieved from two of her best friends, Lily Potter and LeAnne Flint Riddle, they were wanting to host a dinner party for all of the Riddle Court Family's, when she heard the floo activate in the next room over followed by a second floo when a blood curdling scream rang through out the house...
