Author note: So HIII GUYYSSS I FINALLY UPDATED... soooo it's been a really busy school year and I just found a beta so it has taken me a while to upload. Plus it's hard for me to just find time to sit down and type but I finally got it. Sooo you know the drill I don't own any of these characters... yada, yada, yada now on to the story.

Hermione and Ginny apertated about a block away from the office due to the security wards. It was raining, and dark. " Perfect for my mood" Hermione thought to herself. What Ron had said wasn't what was bothering her. It was what he didn't add to the sentence " and me." Ginny helped Hermione calm down a bit, but her nose, and eye's were still red. They finally got up to the office, and walked in to see Blaise and Draco already inside. Ginny casted a quick drying spell on herself, but Hermione made no move to.
" Ok glad you guys are here first we need you to…. What happened to Hermione?" Blaise asked ending his original thought.
" Family dinners, don't they get everybody?" Hermione asked sarcastically while rubbing her eyes.
" You know that is not what I meant. What happened at the family dinner?" He asked.
" I really don't want to talk about it Blaise." Hermione said in a voice that said that said that was the end of it. He let out a defeated sigh. Draco came out from around the corner. He had a cut on his forehead, his wand in his right hand, and in his left hand a monkey in a cage.
" Violent bugger, he almost scratched my eye's out" Draco grumbled as the monkey screeched inside the cage.
" How the hell did he get out anyway?" Ginny asked confused.
" I don't fucking know but whoever let them out will be fired A.S.A.P. All the animals are out and we've only been able to catch the monkeys and the birds. We still have cubs and a full grown lion walking around the premises" Draco said angrily. He turned his way from Ginny to get a look at Hermione. He quickly took in her wet moppy hair and
clothes and her dripping makeup before making his statement. " You look like shit, also you will be riding home with me after this gets cleaned up." "Everyone split up and try to get the animals in the cage's without hurting them." They all looked up as a whistling came from a distant hallway.
"Damn it, we missed a bird!" Blaise exclaimed before running down the hallway.
" Be careful Blaise!" Draco yelled while running after his friend. Ginny looked at Hermione who hadn't uttered a word since Draco walked into the room.
" Don't worry about it Hermione." Ginny said in a motherly tone. Hermione began to wipe her face, and attempt to snort back up her snot from crying.
" I'm not worried Gin, but I really want to get this over with and go home. " Hermione said with a small smile.
" Kay well I'm going to look around for the animals. Keep your wand out for the lion; I don't think we can just put him in a cage." Ginny said before running in the opposite direction of the men. Hermione decided to make her way down the elevator. If she were lucky, maybe she would fine the cubs, and then she could go home.

Hermione had gotten down to the last floor and was still unable to find a single animal.
" They probably found all the animals" Hermione whispered to herself as she walked around the movie room. All of a sudden she heard what sounded like a slight purr. She gladly followed the sound.
' Maybe my luck is looking up; I get to find the cubs' Hermione thought to herself. Finally, she saw a tail sticking out of the dark hallway. She grabbed for her wand slowly.
"Lumos" She whispered. As her wand lighted up she came face to face with a full grown lion. Before she could let out a scream the lion swiped at her hand knocking down her wand. The light went off as her wand clatterd to the floor loudly. Hermione let out a shrill scream and started to run back the way she came. She almost made it five steps before the lion knocked her down onto her stomach.
"Someone help me!" She screamed in a panic tone. She could feel the warmth of the Lion's breath on the back of her neck. Even in this time of panic, she couldn't help but think how ironic it was that a Gryffindor was going to be killed by a lion. Teats started poring down her face as her cries for help became lighter while the lion was putting pressure on her neck with his paw.
"Immobulus!" A familiar male voice called out. The lion froze on the spot its mouth just meer inches from Hermione neck. "Lumos" The male voice said. Hermione looked up into frightened grey eye's.
" Draco ?" Hermione asked surprised. Draco didn't answer he just grabbed her and pulled her out from other the lion.
" Accio Hermione's wand" Draco said quietly. The wand flew into Draco's hand and he handed it back to Hermione.
" Thanks" She said quietly. He nodded and made his way over to the lion. He picked the beast up and threw its paws over his shoulders.
" Blaise shut off the security do you want to apperated with me or take the elevator?" He asked.
" I'll go with you" Hermione answered while walking up to him. She grabbed on to his shirt sleeve since his hand were full with lion paws. They apperated upstairs and were greeted by Blaise and Ginny who already had the other animals in the cage.
" Oh My Merlin Hermione your arm!" Ginny exclaimed while rushing up to her friend. Hermione looked down at her arm. There were long scratch marks down her arm and blood dripped out quickly. " Come here love we will go to my office and clean you up" Ginny said while grabbing Hermione and apperating her out. Draco gently put the lion in the cage and slammed the door.
" While you were looking for Hermione me and Ginny had been talking…." Blaise started.
" Yes go on" Draco said without turning around.
" Well you see not that we want to push anyone into your personal space but Gin doesn't think Hermione is stable, and I agreed with her. So, we both decided that Hermione should move in with you" Blaise suggested. He was met with silence so he continued.
" It won't be for a long time. Ginny wanted her to stay with us but, the house has so many rooms I wouldn't want her to be alone and do something drastic-" Draco cut him off.
" Like kill herself?" Draco asked while glaring down at the lion.
Here is the next chapter: enjoy it
" If you want to be so gloomy then yes kill herself." Blaise said. Draco chuckled but there was no humor in it. He turned around to face his friend.
" Blaise you and I have both seen our fair share of death, and now you act as if talking about someone killing themselves is so taboo. Today I almost saw another death today not at the hands of a muggle, a wizard and his wand, but just by a wild animal. I could have been to late just like I was late with all the other deaths I have witnessed and you know what. It would have hurt me as bad as every other death so don't try to sugercoat it." Draco said in a no nonsense tone. Blaise was just about to say something but, the women walked back in. Ginny had her hand affectionately on Hermione's shoulders and she gave her a large hug.
" Everything will work out just fine sweetie" Ginny said and gave her a kiss on the forehead. Hermione smiled up at her.
" I know thanks Gin" She said back. Hermione walked over and looked at Draco sheepishly.
" You ready to go?" He asked. She nodded and they walked out
