Chapter Thirty- two: Don't get caught.
"Wait, so Frog lady has the Horcrux thingamajig.?" Draco asked as they all sat gathered around the large dining room table late one evening. Kreacher had only just returned from spying on Mundungus Fletcher, who had supposedly stolen a lot of the Black family heirlooms from Harry during their sixth year of school.
"Yes," Harry said for the millionth time in the last twenty minuets., "Did you not listen to the elf, or to me for that matter?" Harry asked rubbing his eyes. He was tired of this whole little quest. He just wanted to rid the world of evil and get his Damn Order of Merlin award.
"I heard both of you, I just wanted to make things more difficult." He said smirking. "That's what us 'Malory's' do."
"Oh how wonderful." Harry sarcastically said. "Well at least you aren't a twin."
"Wouldn't it suck if I was an Octuplet." he was still smirking.
"Don't even say that! That is a horrible thought." Harry said in frustration.
"So, how do we get it off of her?" Hermione said changing the subject and Luna and Ginny nodded in agreement.
"We trick her." Draco said with out missing a beat. They all turned to face him.
"And how do you suppose we do that, Mr. Smarty pants?" Ron asked him a little coldly, Ron was made at Draco.
"We get into the Muggleborn registration commissions meeting," He said smirking, "Hermione will be going in as herself, she's going to her meeting." everyone exchanged shocked looks. This seemed like an absurd plan, it couldn't possibly work.
"ARE YOU CRAZY!" Ron shouted in terror. "I swear this boy has lost his marbles!"
"Oh of course not, well maybe a little," He admitted after a few seconds. "I wont let anything happen to her I will be in the room with her as will Harry and Ginny."
"This plan just keeps getting crazier and crazier!" Ron shouted again. "You just want to kill us all! I bet you're a Death Eater!"
"Whether I'm a Death Eater or not is of no relevance." He smirked just to mess with Ron, it worked, Ron's eyes were so wide you could see… well nothing. "Don't underestimate the intelligence of Drac…Drake Lucas Malory." he amended quickly.
"You are crazy!" Ron shouted. "I'm not gonna listen to you and get killed! And how can you put Hermione in danger like that! She doesn't stand a chance."
"Ron, she does stand a chance, I know who her father is." He glanced at Hermione, "they wont touch her. And plus my plan is just crazy enough to work."
"He's right, and you know it." Harry said in defeat, "We should just listen to him and do as he says." several people, including Hermione, nodded.
"Well," Draco said happily as he clapped his hand together, his plan would be followed after all, "seeing as there are five of us, Me, Hermione, Harry, Ginny and Luna one of will have to stay behind.
"OI!" Ron shouted "What am I, your Hamster!" Draco smirked and everyone else started laughing hysterically. Draco had left him out on purpose.
"Oh, I thought my plan and I were insane and that you didn't want anything to do with either of us, Hamster." He said looking over at them. "You will be one of the two that is staying here. Who else wants to stay?" He asked looking around the room and Luna raised her hand. "Okay then that's settled."
"When are we going to do this?" Harry asked apprehensively, this could turn out horribly.
"Tomorrow, make sure we have some polyjuice and distractions. He launched into his story and finished with "Oh, don't forget the most important rule… Don't get caught."
OoOoOoOoO
"Hermione," Draco said as they stood huddled in the corner of an ally with Harry and Ginny. He was holding her hand trying to calm her down, she had been nervous all night.
"What?" She asked holding onto his hand even tighter.
"You will be okay, I wont let anything happen to you." He told her. He would never let her get hurt. He loved her way to much for that.
"I know. You will be with me the whole time." She said calmly as Ginny's person showed up and they took the woman down and got the polyjuice potion ready.
"Yes, I will. If they lay a hand on you I will hex them into oblivion." He said pulling her into him and kissing her one last time before they went through the gates of Hell. "You just have to trust me."
"I trust you, Draco, I trust you with both mine and baby's life." She said squeezing his hand. She had always trusted him and she always would, she knew what they were doing was ultimately right. But that didn't keep her from worrying. It was going to be a rough long day.
OoOoOoOoO
Hermione walked into the Ministry of Magic with Draco, Ginny (Mafalda) and Harry, not knowing what to expect. She had always remembered the Ministry as beautiful and pleasant; but this was no where near pleasant.
The Atrium had been changed to have a banner with her fathers face plastered across it. It wasn't really something she liked looking at. The fountain that had once been beautiful and charitable was now twisted and gruesome. The people, or well the muggles, has been shaped to look like furniture on which the wizards sat upon.
"Magic is might." She read from the little golden ruby incrusted plate on the front of the fountain. "Hmm, That wouldn't be so bad if the didn't mean it in a negative way." Hermione said as she walked past it, she didn't give it another glance.
"Purebloods are cruel." Draco said, "Makes me sad to know that I am one."
"You're different than them, Draco, you proved that by marrying me." Her voice was gentle and loving. She knew that he wasn't like the others, her never would be. Not even in some twisted alternate universe where, I don't know… Our worlds currency is Monopoly money and chocolate coins.
"I know, but I will always be a pureblood." he said looking around the room.
"MALFOY!" Someone hollered from across the room and he nearly jumped out of his socks.
"Yes, Uncle?" He asked as Rudolphus LeStrange walked over to him scowling in disgust. It was apparent that Draco wasn't his favorite person in the world.
"Why do you look so happy? This isn't a happy world, with it's Happy toys and its Happy little parks that sell their own Happy meals!"
"Oh sorry, Uncle dearest, but I have the most hilarious thing stuck in my head." Draco said trying to keep a straight face. He was obviously about to make a very rude comment. "And every time I think about it I suddenly become happy
"Oh and what might that be, chuckles? " Lestrange said with mock curiosity.
"Your fat ugly face." He spat at the and the man turned as red as a hot chilly pepper. Hermione had never seen someone that angry in her entire life. "And that new annoying orange video on Wiztube." He said in an after thought. That one little orange can drive a person crazy if locked in a room with it long enough."
"Harry snorted from under the cloak as Hermione hid her giggles. the man looked around is shock, he had obviously heard Harry. "What was that?" He looked suspicious
"What was what?" Draco asked in confusion. He pretended not to have heard it, though he had, perfectly.
"Than sound, it sounded like an invisible person just coughed, or laughed or something." He looked as Crazy as he sounded, He was whipping his arms out around him and grasping at empty air as is to grab something.
Draco, Hermione and, "Mafalda" all continued to act as if they hadn't heard a sound. They didn't want Harry to get caught, that would be bad, very, very bad. Horrible even, it would be the end of the world. Losing Harry would probably be worst thing that could happen. Even worse than seeing that embarrassing Photograph Dumbledore had taken of Snape at the Yule ball… He was well how would you put it… well that my friends is a story for another day.
"Um, uncle," Draco said cautiously and put his hand on the man's shoulder in a hesitant way, "did you forget to take your medication this morning?" Draco teased in a very serious tone, one would suspect that he wasn't joking; but then again, was he joking? LeStrange shot him a sideways glare and quietly said. "You know that I don't have to take those anymore."
Hermione shot Ginny a nervous glance and they both mouthed one word 'medication?'"
"You better get that mudblood to the Muggleborn registration commission." He said a few moments later when he remembered that Hermione was present. "It's a very filthy creature." He smirked at Draco who then clenched his hands up into balls. "A very pretty creature though." The man added looking her up and down with an appraising look on his face . It took all of Draco's strength not to use an Unforgivable on him.
"Of course." he said coldly.
"Why do you look so angry." The man said again in disgust.
"I am not angry, I just don't like you." Draco said and then he and 'Mafalda' pulled Hermione away from the Death Eater who was still looking at her.
It was going to be another long day, and it had only just begun. The words still rattled around in their heads 'Don't get caught.'
OoOoOoOoO
Hermione didn't know what to expect as she walked into the courtroom a few minuets later. Knowing that the rest of the ministry was awful, she didn't expect it to be much different. The first thing she noticed was all of the Death Eaters that were in the room. She had always hated these dark malevolent creatures.
The next thing she noticed was that room was very big, plain, circular and it had a row of desks all the way around the perimeter of the room. Umbridge was sitting behind one that was directly in the middle and Ginny was next to her, or well Mafalda was. Although she couldn't see him she knew that Harry was there as well, probably somewhere behind Ginny.
"You may sit there." Umbridge said wrinkling . her nose in disgust, but seemed delighted about the fact that it was Hermione she would be putting away next.
Hermione laughed internally, Umbridge knew that her mother Was Amethyst Holloway and she still thought Hermione to be a muggleborn. That woman was a Nutter, complete with her own squirrel.
Hermione walked over to the rickety old wooden chair that had been placed haphazardly in the middle of the room. She was watched by the three Dementors, who stayed where they were because of the little silver cat that patrolled the room. The moment she sat down in the chair, chains began binding her the chair preventing her from escaping..
"Are You Hermione Jean Granger?" Asked Umbridge getting straight to the point. "The only daughter of Christopher and Laura Granger. Who are both have no siblings" Hermione snorted.
"No, I am not." Hermione said with a strong voice, none of her fear showed. "And for the record, Laura Granger has a little sister, Amethyst Holloway." The woman shot her daggers.
"Ah, is that so miss Granger? I do not recall ever hearing of her.." The woman shook her head, "it would be best for you not to lie to me."
"I'm not lying." She said again and the woman became even more angry.
"Then who are you?" She snapped, clearly expecting Hermione to not have a legit answer.
"I am Hermia Lily Riddle." Someone in the room gasped. "Daughter Of Tom Marvolo Riddle and Amethyst Isabelle Holloway/Riddle, I am the only sister of Ginny Alice Riddle." She was really fearless as she said these words and Draco saw why she was a Gryffindor.
"Well the girl lies obviously!" Yaxley shouted in rage. He wasn't believing a word of what was being said.
"Do I?" She asked just as fearless as before. "Do I not resemble him in any way?." She asked and noticed that everyone in that room was studying her in wonder.
"But you were a Gryffindor!" another woman shouted.
"I may be a Gryffindor, but the hat had to make me different. It said I was to brave to be a Slytherin, It told Ginny the same thing."
"And where is miss Ginny Riddle." Someone asked furiously.
"With the family that adopted her when my father so unwillingly left us." She explained. "Mum wanted us to grow up out of the light of father so that when he came back we would be part of the trusted circle."
"I believe her." A woman at the end of the row said and several people soon agreed with her.
"Voldemort hated Amethyst! He never told us of any children!" A woman with pink hair shouted in rage.
"Why would he? You are his servants." She said in all honesty.
Hermione flashed them the a smile that was worthy of a Riddle. "Does that mean I am free to go?" She asked as she saw that Ginny and Harry had her under their control.
"Yes, regrettably you are free to go." Umbridge said is somewhat of a daze. Hermione saw that it was happening now. She was under the curse or spell that Harry had decided to use. Harry's hands were un clasping the necklace and slipping it from around her neck. The horcrux was theirs. They now had it, their very first one.
OoOoOoOoO
"We got it!" Hermione shouted through the house as they burst through the front door un harmed. They still didn't know how they had managed it, but they had. The Ministry had burst into chaos just as they were leaving. Seeing as Umbridge screamed as in delayed reaction.
"OH YAY!" Luna said jumping up and down. That was one down… well three if you count the tow Dumbledore had destroyed. So, three down four to go.
"So where do we start looking now?" Ginny asked as they reached the living room where Ron was pouting on the couch.
"What's his problem?" Harry asked.
"I don't really know…" Luna said in wonder. "I asked him if he could help me with something and he got all upset." She shrugged and sat down in a chair. "I just decided that it was best if I left him alone, he was being rather rude."
"That sounds about right." Someone mumbled and then Ron jumped up and walked loudly up the stairs. Not telling anyone why he was so ticked off.
"He has more mood swings than a pregnant woman…" Hermione said in thought. "This morning he was Angry, upset, happy, excited and now angry again."
"Egh, give him some Tylenol, he'll be fine." Hermione joked and everyone laughed.
"Spray him with window cleaner." Harry said and only Hermione and Ginny got the joke.
"What's so funny?" Ginny finally asked Harry and Hermione as they laughed.
"There is a movie called 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding' and the father of the main character thinks that widow cleaner cures everything." Hermione told her, "I will have to have you watch it some time and then you will understand.
"Hey, I'm a little tired I think I am going to go to bed." Hermione told them once they settled down into the living room. She got up not caring that she hadn't eaten yet, she just wanted to sleep. And that's exactly what she did once he fell down onto her bed.
