Not once in all the years Hermione had known Draco had he ever seen his face look the way it did the moment those words left Blaise's mouth. The look could only be described as utter shock and horror. Yet he managed to compose himself in a matter of seconds. Without saying a word he slipped on his boxers covered his new bride with the blanket so his friend could see very little of her naked body and walked outside. Blaise of course the ever obedient friend decided to follow. Hermione was left in bed to consider what had happened in the last 24 hours. For starters she was married to the man who was once her worst enemy, secondly she had lost her virginity to said man and thirdly his psychopathic muggle-born hating father had escaped from Azkaban the supposedly unescapable prison.
After pondering her thoughts she decided to get up and see what her husband and his best man were doing. She put on a dressing gown and walked outside the room to see Draco and Blaise sitting at the dining table whispering in hushed tones. When they realised she had entered the room both stopped and turned in her direction.
"Draco what's happening?" Hermione asked.
"It's nothing you need to worry about," Draco said the slightest amount of fear escaping.
"Don't you dare lie to me. Clearly something is wrong. Your father the one who happens to hate muggleborns has escaped from Azkaban. Who did you go marry not even 24 hours ago? A muggleborn. Now with those facts on the table look me in the eye and tell me there's nothing to worry about," her face had gone red and her hands had made their way to position themselves on her hips. Draco looked into her eyes and she was able to see all the emotions welling up inside him. She walked over to him and kissed him on the forehead.
"Look we will work this out. I love you, even if your father is a psychopath. Now what do we want for breakfast?"
After they finished their breakfast Draco and Hermione got dressed and sat back at the dinner table with Blaise who had been entertaining himself with a game of Wizards Chess. Blaise who was focusing intently on his game didn't notice them until Draco punched his left arm.
"Mate you know it hurts when you punch me there!" Blaise cried out.
"Sorry mate. I forgot. How did Father escape Azkaban?"
"Some people seem to think he had help from the inside whether it be the Ministry or within the prison itself. Not trying to be mean but your dad is one sneaky bastard!"
"So does anyone know where he is?"
"Nah unfortunately when he got out he ran and no one knows where he is. He left a note though one of the aurors on his case copied it for me to give to you."
Blaise reached into the back of his pocket and pulled out a crumpled peace of parchment and handed it to Draco. Who opened the note and held it so his new bride would be able to see it.
You idiots can not hold me. I am Lucius Malfoy after all and I have to serve my Lord even after his death. My son has betrayed me and considering no body wishes to punish him I shall do it myself. His mudblood wife shall die and there is nothing that anyone can do to stop it.
Yours Sincerely,
Lucius Malfoy
Of course his father was arrogant enough to sign his own threatening note. Draco sat there in disbelief he knew his Father had gone crazy after the war but to come after his muggleborn wife well he would have to put an end to that. He wasn't sure how but they only had one more day before they had to be back at school. The marriage law allowed for a honeymoon but the school only allowed no more than three days and Hermione wouldn't have stayed for more than three days anyway in case she missed out on too much work.
The second night together was not unlike the first. They spent it in bed holding each other close. Draco knew that he had to cherish what he had because if he didn't stop his father he knew that everything would happen as Lucius had declared. So that night he did not sleep he simply sat in bed watching his new wife cling to him. The next morning they woke and went back to school to find some things had changed.
Sorry this chapter is not as long as the others or as good for that matter. I've just been so busy at the moment and I needed to get you guys something. I am going to try and make the next chapter 10 times better. Please review honestly I'll take whatever criticism you have and I do realise this is not my best work but I just want to skip over this section and move onto the next. Hope you still enjoy it somewhat. :) Also sorry for the length of the chapter I realise its my shortest one yet I'll try and make the next one longer. :)
