Back in the Manor Uncle Sevvy took me to see my parents passing many partiers on the way.

"Uncle? Is Mother with Father?"

"I don't know Draco. Hopefully she is with him. She could always raign in that temper of his. You should not provoke him anyway and Lucus try not to talk."

'No! Veela wants our Hermione!'

"Don't talk period." Snape snapped glaring at me.

"Yes God-father."

Entering father's study I saw that he was sitting in the dark black leather chair he usually sat in when he was bond angry.

"Draco. You have displeased me son." Father growled ominously.

"I-" I began to speak but was stopped by him raising his hand.

"Where were you?"

"I was - I mean my Veela needed to find my mate."

"And you thought that it was just fine to leave the party that we are hosting for you?" father asked glaring straight into my eyes.

"I did not mean to father."

"You DIDN'T MEAN TO!" he roared raising his wand. Instinctively I knew what was coming so I did not even flinch when he silently sent the Cruciatus curse at me.

Still holding the curse he began to rant at me. "YOU UNGRATEFUL BOY! HAVE WE RAISED YOU SO YOU WOULD JUST LEAVE WHENEVER YOU WANT? DID WE? ANSWER ME!"

"N-no F-father." I managed through the pain.

"WHO IS THE GIRL?" he roared the curse intensifying.

"G-granger." I gasped out falling to my knees.

"A FILTHY MUDBLOOD! YOU ABSOLUTE DISGRACE! YOUR LEAVING! GO PACK YOUR THINGS! THIS IS THE LAST STRAW! OUT!"

I stared in shock at him before fleeing the study and running all the way up the stairs to my room. Slamming the door behind me I collapsed to the floor the tears finally overflowing.

"Darling are you alright?" asked the voice of mother from the door.

"No Mother. I am not all right. I have to leave. Father said so. I don't know where I will go but I will find something."

"Oh my poor boy!" Mother sobbed pulling me into her arms.

"Why, mother, why?"

"I don't know my boy. I don't know why Lucious is like this. It's what Azkaban left him as."

"I should get packing mother. I am going. I will write to you. I promise." I struggled to my feet and methodically packed everything I owned into my school trunk. Shrinking most of it, including my books, I was able to fit everything.

"Farewell Mother. I will write to you. Could one of the house elves deliver it to you?"

"Yes. Oh my son. Be safe."

"I will mother. I promise." I tried for a reassuring voice trying to calm her down.

Going into the floo I yelled, "Weasley Residence!"

Appearing in the fireplace I startled one of the older brothers.

"Not meaning to be rude or anything but who are you?" He asked me.

"Draco. And you are?"

"Most people call me Bill. What brings you here?"

"I would like to see your mother if that is ok."

Bill Weasley nodded before yelling, "Mother!"

Mrs. Weasley rushed into the room yelling, "Bill! What is it Hermione is in a right state right now!"

'Mate? Is Veela's Hermione hurt?'

"Oh! Thank Merlin you are back! Running off like that! She is in a crying mess!"

Stepping out of the fireplace she seemed to noticed my appearance.

"Heavens are you all right?"

"I went home. Father was angry with me again for leaving in the first place. He - I - Well I was disowned for having come here for my mate. He did not approve of Hermione."

"My poor boy! What did he do to you?"

"Cruciatus curse. Don't worry I am quite immune to it now. Why?"

"You have blood all over you Draco."

"I - I do?" I reached up and felt that my hair was damp. Withdrawing it I discovered to my dismay that it was covered in sticky drying blood.

"Come let us heal you. You can stay here for as long as you need."

"Thank you. You have been very kind to me."

"Bill go and get the potion healing kit in the bathroom."

"Right away mother!" he replied jumping up and rushing down the hall.

"Here sit on the couch and I will see what I can do."

'Mate. Can Lucus see mate?' Lucus questioned.

"Let us heal you first. You would scar her for life if she saw you like this."

Bill had re-entered the room and handed the kit to his mother.

"Thank you Bill. Could you get Charlie's old room clear. I think that we will have another border with us."

"Certainly Mother." He huffed leaving yet again.

Once I was properly healed Mrs. Weasley smiled at me. "There we are. Good as new." Seeing how kind she was being to me I started crying all of the bitterness, anger, and helplessness out of my system.

"It's is ok Draco. You can stay with us. Don't worry." she hushed embracing me in her arms.

"Thank you. Thank you. Thank you." I muttered over and over again for once in my life feeling that I was finally free.
