Chapter 12
"Charles you go to Romania search the dragon reserve and your place. Bill go to shell cottage and HG Lawyers. Gin and Harry go to Grimmauld and My place. George and Ron you go to Diagon alley. Derek sorry you're on kid duty again. Draco we are going to Hogwarts. Split!"
Everyone apparated or Flooed to their destinations. Charlie came back alone with no trace of Hermione being in Romania. Bill came back with no news on her location only that she wasn't at work or with Fleur as well as Harry and Ginny coming back clueless since she wasn't at their destinations. George spotted her at Diagon alley but as he got close Ron made their presence known to suddenly and she disappeared again.
Draco was shocked that Hendrix wanted him to be his partner in the search. Draco walked over to Hendrix grabbed his arm and apparated to the Hogwarts gates. Draco sent a patronus to Minerva while trying to keep Hendrix from walking away because of the wards. Minerva got to the gates in record speed after receiving the patronus, to say she was shocked to see Hendrix would be an understatement.
"Draco why is Hendrix here with you? What have you done to him?"
"Such a vote of confidence professor. I have done nothing to him directly. I may have caused a mishap with his sister that caused me to worry for my health as well as hers.
"Seriously Draco. What do you need at Hogwarts?"
"To see if Granger has hidden herself here and to see if she has relapsed or not. I am her healer along with Blaise and she has pulled a runner on us."
"Oh Quick inside. I will get the ghosts and Peeves to help look for her inside the castle if you want to search the grounds. I believe Rubeus is in his hut at the moment." Minerva said quite shocked that Draco had done something that resulted in the need of a healer and the Malfoy Zabini combination of Healers. While all this was happening Hermione was sitting in the Room of Requirement thinking about how her life had gone from amazing to having to pull a few runners from a hospital where two slytherins and a hufflepuff were her healers. Draco and Hendrix had ran straight to Hagrids hut so that they could get assistance in searching the grounds.
"HAGRID! HAGRID!" Draco shouted along with Hendrix "Hagrid it's an emergency" At this Hagrid came running out of his hut franticly searching for the threat.
"Oh it's you Malfoy. Hendrix!? What are you doing here?" Hagrid stated.
"Herms has pulled a runner from St Mungo's ferret and I are looking for her and thought she might be hi…"
'Draco Room of Requirement NOW! I have found her but she is bleeding profusely.'
Draco and Hendrix shared a look before speeding off to the room of Requirement with Draco leading since Hendrix had no idea where the room was. As soon as Draco saw Hermione his healer instincts kicked in.
"Miss Granger what is wrong? What have you done?"
"YOU KNOW WHAT IS WRONG!" Hermione screamed than quietly added "I am trying to remove my tattoo."
"TATTOO. HERMIONE JEAN GRANGER WHAT TATTOO ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!" Hendrix yelled.
"Male Granger calm down now. I don't need three hysterical people one is enough. Now Miss Granger what tattoo are you trying to remove?"
"Muggle one of Farkas' name." Hermione said in a very quiet whisper.
"Granger really? A tattoo of his name? Come on. Let's get you back to St Mungo's so I can remove it properly and we can keep it under wraps shall we? I also need to speak to the lead lawyer of my case." Draco replied
"Excuse me I am your only lawyer here." Hermione said quite offended that he didn't trust she was that good a lawyer to do it on her own.
Draco and Hermione Flooed back to St Mungos and started to get the tattoo removed and clean up the damage Hermione had done to herself during her attempts at removal. Minerva apparated Hendrix and Herself to the Burrow to let everyone know that Hermione had been found.
"She is back at St Mungo's but she has just gained another 3 months onto her grounding. Little brat" Hendrix said quite put out.
"3 months grounded, little brat. SHE GOT A TAT! GO HERMS!" Harry said laughing and looking proud before noticing Hendrix's dirty look. Harry went quiet instantly. Hendrix was his adopted brother so he was in serious threat of physical injury from his 'older brother'
"Harry I have no issue in grounding you as well." Hendrix stated
"Go for it" Ginny replied before looking over at Harry to see him in absolute shock his wife would give him up in the situation.
-St Mungos-
Draco was about ready to snap someone's neck due the nuisance Hermione had decided to be.
"Granger sit down this instant I am trying to remove the Tattoo and I need to speak to a lawyer. SIT DOWN NOW!" Draco finally snapped.
"What is it I can help you with Mr Malfoy?"
"I need a defence lawyer for a custody battle."
"Okay who wants custody of whom and what is their reason behind the removal of custody?"
"My ex-wife Astoria Greengrass wants custody of m.. our son. She is using my background of son of a death eater and the fact I almost became part of the Death eaters that I am an unsafe parent. What is your professional opinion?"
"I am going to need his medical records, copy of the divorce papers, Alimony agreement, an income report, Statements from family and friends about your relationship and I will need to speak to your son." Hermione said
"Okay I can have the medical records to you in 10 minutes. Done tattoo removed although I believe you will get a tongue lashing from your brother or brothers for it. I will bring Scorp tomorrow along with everything but the statement from family and friends you may collect those. Do you need me to collect anything for you from your house or office?"
"My laptop and fat folder on my desk at my place." Hermione replied.
"Harry will drop them at my place tomorrow morning so I can bring them to you when I come in. You will have a scar because how you attempted to remove it. Now your…. Actually never mind"
"Now my arms will match. An awesome war scar that I am proud of on one and a stupid decision gone wrong on the other."
"Okay Wow. Now we will start therapy tomorrow. Who would you like to take your therapy sessions? It will be a counsellor, a healer and yourself."
"Um I guess Blaise because I want to apologize to him since I scared him and I have few questions for him. Draco you stared to say something at the Burrow please continue telling me."
"Never mind about that. It is unimportant. It is Bedtime now"
"But I don't want to go to bed."
"Too bad. Good night" Draco said walking out of her room before sending a patronus to Harry asking him to drop of Hermione's laptop and fat folder.
The next day Blaise walked into Hermione's room followed by a counsellor.
"Hermione Jean Granger! How could you?"
"Mr Zabini if you are unable to be positive I will have to ask you to leave." The counsellor snapped.
"Right sorry. You smart little witch you. Don't you dare do it again, scared me magicless."
"Blaise I have a question I need answered. You can blame Malfoy for it existing but what did Slytherin house do at Hogwarts that related to you and I?"
"Oh that. Well beginning third year we would pick someone one in our year but different house and gender and we had to 'protect them' it was a test of our stealthiness. I always seemed to get you. We would pick a name out of a hat. Poppy... Madame Pomfrey got so used to me popping into get a peppering up potion or a calming draught that she ended up asking me why I needed so many. When I told her the reasoning she turned around and hit me with a clipboard telling me I was stupid. What were her words? Oh yeah 'you idiot why would you agree to that? There is no way you can protect the girl with all the idiotic stuff the boys drag her into.'"
"Don't blame the boys. I was the brains behind all the 'idiotic stuff' I forced the boys to do a lot of things more than they forced me to do things."
"So all the hours I spent cursing Harry and Ron I should have been cursing you?!"
"Okay. I need to start the therapy session. Blaise you are sitting in that chair Hermione you sit here and no there is no leaving early no matter what happens." The counsellor said before locking 5the three of them in the room for two hours. During those two hours Draco collected all the documents needed, the folder, laptop and Scorpius like Hermione requested. When Draco had arrived home the previous night Derek had interrogated him.
"Draco what case are you talking about?"
"Astoria wants custody of Scorpius after 2 years of no contact. Why can't she leave us alone?" Draco said exhausted.
"Okay fair enough needing a lawyer. Astoria has no pull over us though. She is the one that walked away for some American. Oh before I forget I am going out with Nancy tomorrow so Scorp needs a babysitter for a bit."
"No I am taking him to see Hermione tomorrow so babysitter is not needed. Have 'fun' with Nancy tomorrow."
"I won't have as much fun as you and Belinda had."
"If you don't stop bringing that up I will tell Mum about you and Nancy because she would love to hear that there is a wedding on the horizon."
"You wouldn't Drags!"
"Wouldn't I?"
"I won't mention it again in front of present company."
"If it passes your lips again Ginny will have to raise Scorp because I will be in Azkaban and you will be rotting in some grave in the back yard." Draco stated before they both started laughing.
