Present time

Damien ran through the castle crashing into walls, falling down and up stairs, and bumping into people. Every time he crashed into a wall he pushed himself off, and got right back on the stairs. The people he bumped into he mumbled his apologies. If the people that sat and watched him race through the castle they would say that he had a demon on his tail. And that was exactly what it felt like to Damien. A demon on his tail.

He turned another corner and crashed into a person. "Sorry." He mumbled and got straight back up, he offered a hand to the person he crashed into.

"Well Malfoy, I guess that it is the least you can do." Damien groaned at the voice he hoped not to see at the moment, Potter.

Damien grabbed Potter's arm and hefted him up. Not waiting to see if Potter had anymore to say he started off again. It was when he reached to end of the corridor that he stopped. He mumbled an oath.

"Potter!"

"What?"

"Can't believe I'm doing this." Damien grumbled. "I need your help."

He heard Potter laugh as he came to where Damien was standing. "And what in god's name does the great Damien Malfoy need my help with?"

"It's Aerowyn." Damien watched as the smile disappeared and the look of pure worry crossed his face.

"What? What happened? Is she okay?" James asked quickly.

Damien shooked his head. "No. But I am not explaining this two times. Follow me and you will find out soon enough."

James grabbed Damien's arm. If it weren't for the fact that Damien was just as worried as the boy in front of him he would have some smart aleck remark to say. But the fact the Potter's face held the same emotions he was feeling, he held his tongue.

"You'll tell me now." James demanded.

Damien shook his head. "No. I will tell you along with the others. In Dumbledore's office." And he took off, not bothering to see if Potter was following or not because he knew that Potter would. And the fact that he heard him following.

It wasn't until the two of them reached Dumbledore's office, and burst into the room that Damien and James paused to take a couple of breathes. When they finally looked up they saw eight pairs of eyes looking at them.

Damien looked at the people in the room, and couldn't help but wonder when the last time the people in it were together last. There was of course Dumbledore, McGonagall, and Snape. Also in the room was Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Blaise Zabini, Draco Malfoy, and Hermione Granger. It was the pure shock of seeming all together that had Damien pausing.

"Damien?" He heard his father call.

But Damien wasn't listening, no he was only looking at the women that he never met. The women that looked so much like his sister, except the eyes. And hair. To Damien he could see why his father had fell so much in love with this women. It wasn't because of her beauty. It was her being. The fact that just looking at her made him calm, and at peace. The same feeling he had gotten when he was around Aerowyn. Peace.

"Damien?" He heard his father call again.

He blately ignored his father, and spoke to the women. "Aerowyn."

He watched as the women shook her head. "It's Hermione."

Damien smiled. "Hermione."

"I thought you said she was dead dad!" Damien heard James say, making Damien come back from his dazed state.

"Oh god. Hermione it's Aerowyn." Damien panic kicked back in. "She's gone."

He heard the gasps and then several people begin talking at once.

"Enough!" Dumbledore spoke, causing everybody in the room to quite down. "Enough. Let the boy speak. Go ahead Damien."

Damien let his eyes drift to Dumbledore, and then his father. It was when eyes came back to Hermione that he spoke again. "She's gone. I tried to stop her, I really did. We were just talking, talking about how she has to tell father that she was alive. She smiled and told me that everything was going to be fine."

Damien paused when he felt the tears well up. "She was only gone for ten minutes before I decided to go inside to. I then heard some voices and followed them. It was until I got closer the I heard her. She was with that Cavers girl, and that girl had a reddish glow to her eyes. It was like she was going to die. Like if she didn't have Aerowyn then, then she would."

"I walked up to them and told Cavers to let Aerowyn go. But she said no and that if dad did something sooner then she wouldn't have too. Like it was all Dad's fault. She then said that it was a shame that we just got to know each other and would have to lose each other."

Damien then let the tears fall, and he looked at Hermione then James. "She took Aero, and I couldn't stop it. I tried but I couldn't stop it." He fell to the stairs and shook uncontrollably.

Hermione was the first to move, and wrapped her arms around Damien. She smiled a little, and let the tears flow easily down her face. They both cried and all the while Hermione hushed and consoled Damien.

James turned to his father. "What are we going to do now?"

Harry looked at Malfoy, then Zabini, and then to Ron. He nodded his head along with theirs. "We'll go get her. You stay here with Hermione."

"But Aerowyn is mine!" James growled at his father. "I will go too."

Harry shook his head. "Not this time you won't. I need you too stay here with Hermione. Please!"

James looked into his father's eyes and saw that there wasn't much of a chance that he would win the argument. He nodded his head, and went to where Hermione and Damien were.

"So what do you suppose we do Potter?" Blaise asked in his nonchalant voice.

"Why are you asking him? I'm her father, you should be asking me?" Draco mumbled to Blaise.

Ron snorted. "Some father you turned out to be."

"What is that suppose to mean Weasel?"

"You know exactly what it means ferret." Ron growled.

"You know I think..." Blaise started.

"Now Ron..." Harry started.

Draco cut them both off. "I would have been there if she had told me about Aerowyn."

Ron snorted again. "I'm sure you would have, at the first chance you would have told Voldemort so you could offer Aerowyn to him. 'Here my lord the mudblood's and my by-blow.'"

"Ron!" Harry exclaimed.

"Oh come on Harry. You know its true." Ron glared back at Draco. "At first chance he would have skipped over and handed Hermione's child to him. We all know that."

"I would shut up if I were you Weasel." Draco said through clenched teeth.

"Or what ferret? What are you going to do to me?" Ron mocked him.

"ENOUGH!!" Hermione yelled at the four of them. "Silencio"

All four of them looked at her with mouths wide open. They all stopped to look at the witch, Hermione bent down to the boys who were staring at her wide eyed and dazed.

"When I say now I want you guys to cover your ears and shut your eyes. You two are going to help me." She whispered. "Okay?"

Both the boys nodded their heads. Glad to not be the ones to feel her wrath.

"You four should be ashamed of your selves." Hermione glared at all of them. "My daughter is some where out their, and all you guys have better to do is stand there and argue. I can't BELIEVE you!"

Hermione turned to Ron first. "Why do you have to provoke him?"

She then turned to Draco. "And you know in a sense he is right. You weren't there, which is as much my fault as yours. But why do you have to respond."

She then turned to both Harry and Blaise. "And you two should have tried harder." She smiled when both their mouths hung open.

"Now because you dumb witted boys have nothing better then to argue I am taking Damien and James with me. I will find my daughter, and I don't need you...you..IDIOTS to do it for me. NOW." Hermione yelled. She then casted a spell that made all the occupants in the room freeze. It was a lot like Petrificus Totalus. But it was a much stronger spell and something all the people in the room thought that Hermione couldn't do.

She walked up to Draco and stood on her tiptoes. She gave him a light kiss on the lips and whispered softly. "It's my time Draco. It's my time." She turned and walked over to the boys. She lightly tapped their shoulders and watched as they both looked at her.

"Let's go." She got up and walked to the door. Not bothering to look back, cause she knew that the two boys would follow behind her. Not bothering to look back and see that the rest was going to be frozen in place for the next two hours.

Not looking back to hide the tears that flowed freely down her cheeks.

A/N- I can't believe I was able to get this one up so fast. But yaih for me! I just wanted to say thank you to one reviewer (and you know who you are). What you said was very kind and it's people like you that make other writers want to continue writing. I also would like to apoligize for the grammar and spelling mistakes. I don't have a beta and am trying really hard to make it better.

But thank you everyone for the reviews and Enjoy.
