Getting Out
Hermione's eyes widened and grabbed Draco's hand. They made their way over to where Sirius and Remus were standing with Harry, Sierra and Ginny.
'Hermione, what's going on?' Draco asked, flabbergasted at the look he had just seen on her face and how fast she was trying to run through the people.
'I just saw someone that we really don't want to meet at the moment,' was all she said. Hermione peeked her head back up again and saw the man walking rather quickly after them.
'Shit!' She whispered. She began to drag Draco even faster.
'Hold on! Will you explain? Who did you see?' Draco asked, trying to look over his shoulder as he ran to keep up with Hermione. He couldn't see anyone.
'Just keep going. We need to get out of here.' She said.
They reached the others quickly and Hermione tapped Sirius on the shoulder.
'We have a blonde problem.' She announced. Sirius looked strangely at Hermione pointed behind her. Sirius found what he was supposed to be looking at and blanched. Everyone looked behind them too and they all had basically the same reaction.
'Remus, stay here and find Ron, make a portkey when he's here and get out quickly. I'll take these two and their baggage back to the house. He wants them more than you guys.' Sirius said, turning back to the werewolf. Remus nodded and continued looking at Lucius Malfoy, who was continually getting closer.
'Go!' Remus said, ushering them out of the way and back into the crowd.
Sirius took Hermione and Draco around the corner with their baggage which they had grabbed from Remus and they would have quickly apparated away if it weren't for Hermione's parents suddenly finding them.
'Oh no.' Hermione whispered. She quickly dashed out from around the corner and grabbed them, quickly dragging them back around the corner.
'Mum, Dad. How are you?' Hermione asked after getting them around the corner.
'We're fine darling, how are you? You seem all tense, what's wrong?' Her mother asked. Hermione looked over her parents shoulder and saw Lucius talking to Remus about the whereabouts of her and Draco.
Hermione shot a look at Sirius and the man dodged around Hermione, Draco and Hermione's parents.
'Well, I best be off. Draco, behave yourself. If you're anything like me,' Sirius started.
'Then I wouldn't be inviting him to meet my parents. Go Sirius!' Hermione urged. Sirius glared at her and walked off to help Remus get rid of the troublesome Malfoy Sr.
'How was your year darling?' Mrs. Granger asked.
'It was fine mum. Look, can we get going, I really want to show Draco around the house and where he's going to sleep and everything. Please?' Hermione pleaded.
'Hold on Hermione, we haven't even talked to him yet. You must be Draco. Nice to meet you, John Granger.' Hermione's father addressed Draco.
Draco shook the mans' hand and constantly checked what his father was doing.
'Nice to meet you too, Mr. Granger.' Draco answered.
'You seem distracted boy, what's wrong?' Hermione's father asked. Draco shook his head.
'Nothing sir; I'm just excited to meet Hermione's parents.' He said. Mr. and Mrs. Granger smiled at him as Hermione leaned forward.
'Nice save.' She whispered.
'Thanks.' He whispered back. Draco looked back over to his father and Lucius made eye-contact. Draco blanched further than one would think humanly possible and started to shuffle backwards.
'Draco, what's wrong?' Hermione asked. Draco just shook his head.
'He's found us.' He muttered. Hermione looked over to where his eyes were looking and went as white as him.
'What's wrong darling, you look like you've seen a ghost.' Mr. Granger joked.
'You must be Miss Granger's parents, Lucius Malfoy, Draco's father.' Malfoy Sr. said from behind them. Draco subtly moved in front of Hermione as her parents turned around to meet the offending man.
'We're John and Mary Granger. So, you're Draco's father. Nice looking boy you've got here, or should I say man.' Mr. Granger said. Lucius tried looking polite and smiling, but it didn't come out very well.
'What are you doing here father? I was under the impression that you weren't coming. I thought I told you that I was staying at Hermione's for a week before going to live with Sirius.' Draco said, standing tall and looking strong so Hermione's parents wouldn't know the difference.
'I couldn't stay away from my only son after he just came back from Boarding School now, could I?' Lucius asked. Hermione shot him a poisonous glare and stood beside Draco.
'Didn't you get the letter sir? I told you that you didn't need to come to pick him up. He was staying with me. Now, we really must be going, we have a fare way to travel. Come mother, father.' Hermione said, preparing to shuffle them away.
She caught Sirius eye and sent him a warning look. He only just seemed to notice Lucius Malfoy standing and talking to her parents. He rushed over with Remus, Harry, Sierra, Ron and Ginny.
'Lucius! I haven't seen you ages, how are you cousin?' Sirius asked, reaching them and holding out his hand to the man. Sirius gave Hermione a look that clearly said, get going.
'Hermione, are these people your friends?' Her mother asked. Hermione groaned inaudibly and nodded her head.
'Don't look too excited to see us Hermione.' Harry joked. Hermione mock glared at him and shot a look at Mr. Malfoy. He was currently trying to be worked into a conversation with Sirius so the Grangers could leave.
'Yes mother, these are my friends Harry, Sierra, Ron, Professor Lupin; he teaches Defence Against the Dark Arts, and Sirius, he's Harry's godfather.' Hermione retold.
'How lovely! I'm Mrs. Granger. You can call me Mary.' She answered.
'Mum, I really think that we should get home, I mean, it could be really late by the time we get there, and we still need to have dinner.' Hermione said.
'True. Let's go. Good bye everyone!' She called. They all nodded and Hermione and Draco made a quick escape through the crowd before Lucius could tell which way they went.
The two teens got to the car in record time and waited impatiently for her parents.
When they got there, they looked strangely and disappointedly at their daughter.
'Hermione, it wasn't very nice to run off like that with barely a goodbye to your friends. What's gotten into you?' Mr. Granger asked.
Hermione shot a worried look at Draco. He nodded at her.
'We just have to get out of here quickly. I'm sorry, but I don't think it would be the right thing to tell you.' Hermione said, trying to make her parents understand with her eyes.
'Tell them Hermione.' Draco said. Hermione shot a curious look at him.
'What? Why?' She asked in return.
'Tell them, they deserve to know what their daughter has put herself into.' Draco explained. Hermione nodded, looking pained.
'I'll tell you when we get home. It isn't safe here. Lucius could have followed us.' Hermione said to her parents. They exchanged looks with each other.
'Please, just take us home. I can't explain here. Please.' Hermione pleaded. Her parents nodded and got into the car. Hermione opened the door for Draco and they both climbed in. Hermione put her head into her hands and shook it. Draco rested his hand on her shoulder and tried talking to her.
'Hey, we're out of there now, and dad doesn't know where you live, and he couldn't get it out of the others if he tried. Don't worry, he can't find us. In a week we'll be in Sirius' house and he couldn't get in there even if he knew where it was. Calm down.' Draco tried. It was no use, Hermione was already in tears. She flung herself into Draco's arms and cried her eyes out. Draco wrapped his arms around her and rested his head on hers.
In the rear-view mirror, Hermione's parents cast each other worried looks and Mr. Granger worked on getting home sooner so that he could get to the bottom of this problem.
When they reached the two story house, Hermione and Draco dragged their trunks into the house and sat down on the couch.
Hermione put her head on Draco's shoulder and silent tears continued to stream down her face. Draco had one of his arms around her shoulders and was rubbing it lovingly.
Hermione's parents sat down on the chairs on either side of the couch and looked at the pair expectantly.
Hermione drew a breath and began the tale.
'Draco and I got together at about the start of the year, just before the first Hogsmeade trip. Unfortunately, one of the journalists that had been kicked out of Hogwarts during the Triwizard Tournament in 4th year because of me, decided to get pay back. She wrote a letter to Draco's father explaining that he was going out with a Mudblood.' She began, but Draco cut in.
'Don't call yourself that.' He said. Hermione turned to face him.
'I'm a mudblood and proud of it.' She answered. Draco just grimaced and looked back down at his fingers resting in his laps.
'Anyway, to say that Draco's father was upset was the understatement of the century. He burst into Sirius' house and blasted Draco's name and face off the wall in the family tree room.
'Sirius overheard Lucius talking to Bellatrix, and he said that the next time he ever saw Draco, he was as good as dead. Painfully dead, by the way. Sirius sent a letter to Draco explaining all over this while we were in Hogsmeade. Harry read the letter and found out that Rita Skeeter was the one to send the letter to Lucius, that's the journalist by the way. We left soon after that so she couldn't give Lucius any more updates, but he's still after mine and Draco's head. Oh, and by the way, Draco's father is a Death Eater.' Hermione concluded.
Hermione's parents' faces were of utter shock. Her father was the one to come out of it first.
'Well, darling, do you think it's best to keep going if your name is on a hit-list?' Her father asked. Draco seemed to look pained, but Hermione just dismissed the idea.
'I've been on a hit-list since I became Harry Potter's friend. Being with Draco only increases the amount of trouble I'm in, it doesn't eliminate it. And I'll still have that amount even if Draco and I stop seeing each other.' Hermione explained. Hermione's mother finally came around.
'So, the man we were just talking to, wants your heads?' She asked. Hermione and Draco nodded.
'Probably served to him on silver platers to be made into wall ornaments.' Draco added spitefully.
Hermione's parents blanched considerably and faced their daughter with concerned eyes.
'Aren't you scared darling?' Her mother asked concernedly. Hermione shook her head thoughtfully.
'Not really, I've grown used to the fact that I'm wanted by the Death Eaters as a trophy or possible hostage against Harry. I really don't think that it will make much of a difference.' Hermione said, smiling weakly at her parents. Her parents smiled slightly back at her and her mother came over and knelt before them. She took Hermione and Draco's hands in her own.
'I want you two to be safe. If there is anything that I can do, just let me know.' She said, smiling up at them. Hermione and Draco nodded their heads.
'Count me in on that as well.' Mr. Granger added. Hermione got up and hugged both of her parents, giving her father an extra big one, because she knew how hard it must be for him to know that his little girl was on a wanted list for some very cruel people.
'Hermione dear, do any of the Death Eaters know where you live, or do they have a resource where they could possibly get our address from?' Her mother asked nervously. Hermione shared a thoughtful look with Draco. She shook her head as she answered her mothers' question.
'I really don't think anyone other than my friends in the Order know where I live and even most of them don't know. Harry and Ron don't, so that eliminates the Weasley's, Sirius, James, the others, I don't think anyone other than Draco, now, knows where I live. Dumbledore would, he knows everything. You can't hide anything from that man; other than that, no one.' She answered. Draco looked at her confusedly.
'Harry and Ron haven't been over here yet? You've been to their houses.' Draco said. Hermione smiled at him.
'I've been to the Burrow. I haven't been to Harry's Aunt and Uncle's house, though I don't think that I'd be very welcome. Other than that, I've only been to Sirius' house.' She finished. Draco looked at her thoughtfully.
'I thought you'd been to all of their houses.' Draco mused. He shrugged his shoulders and leaned back comfortably on the couch. Hermione sat back up.
'Why don't I show you to your room? It's only up the stairs.' She asked. Draco nodded and grabbed his trunk from beside the couch. Hermione grabbed hers too and they made their way up the stairs and Hermione started showing him around.
'This is your room.' Hermione said, opening a door to her right and walking inside. 'This is the guest room normally, and, as you're the guest, you get the room. Through that door is my room. Just so you know. I'll knock and come through that door if the need permits it. Don't worry, mum and dad will knock too if they have to come in.
'I do have two older sisters too, they are coming home tomorrow from some dancing camp that they are at. They sleep in the room just next to mine, so you don't really have to worry about them. Um, through there is the bathroom, toilet, shower, sink, everything. I'm not sure what else there is to tell you.' Hermione finished, shrugging. Draco nodded and put his trunk down on the end of the bed and sat down.
Hermione came over and sat with him and leaned against his shoulder. Draco wrapped his arms securely around her protectively.
'Why did our lives have to be so screwed up?' She asked. Draco chuckled softly and Hermione could feel it rumbling inside him.
'I don't know baby. I really don't know.' Draco answered.
