Chapter 10
Peace fell over the Malfoy manor and the family inside; Cassia and Scorpius had fallen asleep in front of the fire and Hermione was nearly falling asleep on the sofa with her head on Draco's shoulder, however, the peace didn't last long with a Stag Patronus appeared in the library and stood in front of Hermione.
Hermione sat up and touched the stag with her wand; she was transported to Grimmauld Place. She looked around the room noticing the determined looks on everyone face, she was grateful that the stag had been a portkey Patronus and not a real Patronus as she knew that Draco would have followed her or talked her out of doing whatever was about to happen.
Hermione looked at Harry "what's going on?"
Harry put his hands on her shoulders "we caught Ron Hermione."
Hermione gripped her wand tighter "where is he?"
Harry apparated them to Hogwarts grounds "he was caught trying to break into the Slytherin dungeons; we believe he was looking for Cassia."
The pair of them walked towards the Castle, Hermione just felt relieved that one Ron had been caught finally and that Cassia was safe at Malfoy Manor surrounded by her loving family.
The pair of them walked into their old Potions classroom where Severus, Tonks, Sirius, and Remus had Ronald Weasley nicely tied up. He looked defeated which was Hermione found very odd.
Once again Hermione gripped her wand tighter "great job, everyone."
Ron slowly looked up when he heard her voice "I'm sorry Hermione, it was never meant to go this far you have to believe me."
Hermione shook her head "I don't want to hear any apologies Ronald however what I do want to hear is the location of Lavender Brown."
Severus looked at the Slytherin heiress "he's been under a severe amount of love potion Hermione, I doubt he even realizes where he is right now."
Hermione nodded and just watched Ron's whole body language; something to her did not add up but she could not put her finger on what it was and that is what was annoying her so much…
~ Malfoy Manor ~
Draco was pacing around wondering where the hell Hermione had disappeared to because he couldn't locate her using their magic which was weird for one thing and he couldn't even feel her emotions which was worrying him the most.
Narcissa held her grandchildren who had been woken up by the advents "why don't we go to bed, say goodnight children."
Draco took a deep breath and stayed strong for a few more minutes while he wished his children good night and reminded them that both he and Hermione loved them very much. Narcissa escorted both of them to their rooms but Cassia stated that she would feel much better if she stayed in Scorpius's room with him which he agreed with.
Narcissa tucked them both into Scorpius's bed "you are both safe here, your mother will be home when you wake up. I promise you now sleep it is way past your bedtimes."
Scorpius got comfy in his bed knowing that his sister was right beside him "night grandma."
Narcissa kissed their heads "Goodnight Scorpius, goodnight Cassia."
Narcissa left the room but warded the door because her mother intuition kicked in and knew that something was wrong, thinking to herself that something very bad was about to happen.
Narcissa headed back to the library and saw Draco hugging Hermione, she caught her husband's eye and gave him a look that they both knew meant something was wrong with the picture in front of them; Narcissa began to become calmer when Lucius returned the look.
Draco just held onto Hermione "do not do that again Hermione."
Hermione faintly smiled "sorry, Harry just wanted to tell me that another sighting had happened but we agreed that we wouldn't worry you unless the sighting was near or the children were in danger."
Lucius leaned on his cane "was the sighting near?"
Hermione shook her head and looked at her father in law "No the sighting was in Muggle London, it wasn't even a real sighting more of a glimpse, The Order is going to investigate to make sure that the sighting was real."
Narcissa faintly smiled "well I am just glad that everyone is back and safe, why don't we all head off to bed. I'm sure the children would love to spend the whole day tomorrow together as a family without someone disappearing."
Draco and Hermione bid their goodnights and headed off towards their room. Lucius warded the library door and looked at his wife.
Narcissa was boiling with rage "how dare she?"
Lucius walked over to his wife "we need a plan but we can't endanger our family."
Narcissa exhaled "at least we know that Hermione is safe."…
~ Hogwarts ~
Harry watched Hermione as she paced around the Astronomy tower, he couldn't catch what she was saying as she was mumbling to herself and twirling her wand in her hand.
Harry shook his head "MIONE."
Hermione stopped in her tracks and looked at him "huh?"
Harry just looked at her and his body language told her he had no idea what was going on right now.
Hermione sighed "It's a trap Harry something is off but I cannot put my finger on what has happened."
Harry put his hands on her shoulders "breathe and let's talk this out, what do we know already about this whole thing."
Hermione exhaled "Lavender wants Draco, Ronald wants me. THAT'S IT!"
Harry watched as Hermione flew down the stairs at a high speed, Harry shook his head and followed calling out after her. He followed her to the potions room where Ron was still tied up and guarded.
Hermione slapped him "HOW DID YOU DO IT?"
Ron smirked, "and here I thought you were the smart one Hermione."
Hermione pointed her wand at him "last chance explain how you did it"
Severus looked confused "care to fill us in, Hermione."
Hermione had tears falling down her face in sadness and anger "it was all a trap he wanted to get caught knowing that I would foolishly come leaving Draco alone so that Lavender could walk straight into Malfoy Manor as me."
Severus sent out his Patronus to warn the Malfoy family but Hermione fell backward thankfully against Harry who was standing there and grabbed her chest right above her heart, due to their bonded magic Hermione could feel her heart breaking as Draco 'cheated' on her with who he thought was her.
Ron laughed "it's working you will die from a broken heart and Malfoy will never know."
Severus gritted his teeth "reserve person spell the Malfoy family will see Brown as Hermione and see Hermione as Brown."
Ron smiled "10 points to Ron."
Will the spell get broken?
