Protector

For five years Hermione has been dating Draco Malfoy, once happy couple turned to hate and bloodshed. Now Draco wants Hermione dead. But not by his own hands, he is sending people after her. He knows all her locations on where she goes and lives. Except he has no idea where Bill lives, and that's where she has been put to stay.

Bill now 32 and divorced for three years. Welcomed the fact on having a beautiful witch in his home. That and hes be in love with Hermione for a year now, while she was with Draco.

"I can't believe I can even work, without Draco' goons finding me." Hermione complained to Ginny as they walked out of the floo into Shell Cottage.

"And the fact that you can't go anywhere without one of the guys with you." Ginny added.

"Does that mean Bill gets to follow her into the loo?" George snickered while moving the rest of her things into Shell Cottage.

"No, you pervert!." Ginny yelled. "Bill cannot follow her into the loo, well I mean unless she wants him too." Ginny shrugged.

Bill just happened to walk into the room when that was said. A blush washed over his cheeks.

"And why would he do that?" Hermione asked. While George and Ginny laughed. Hermione looked at Bill.

"Do you know what they are getting on about?"

"Unfortunately."

"Okay we are done here, I am going to head out I have work in the morning." George said, hugging Hermione goodbye. "If you get tired of this guy, you know where to find me." George teased.

"I'm heading out too. I want to catch Harry when he gets home." Ginny replied, hugging her sister as she and George departed.

Hermione was left alone in Shell Cottage with Bill. There was a slight awkward silence. "I am sorry for putting you out."

"You're not, I don't want you dead either." Bill said with a smile.

Hermione smiled back and then yawned. "Night Bill. I will see you in the morning."

"Night 'Mione, sleep well."

With that Hermione went to her new room and Bill went to his bedroom.

Hermione didn't sleep well she kept seeing flashes on Draco's face in her dreams. Watching his mouth as he yelled at her, threatened her. Waking up early the next morning. Hermione walked to the kitchen, to make breakfast, but Bill beat her to it.

"Morning 'Mione, did you sleep well?" He asked sweetly.

"Not really, no. And I was going to make breakfast."

"Oh and I beat you to It, it seems." He chuckled. "Why didn't you sleep well?"

"Seeing Draco in my dreams isn't pleasant any more, its just a nightmare."

Bill adverted his eyes from her back to the food. "You're safe with me." He said softly. He handed her a plate of food, she thanked him. He made himself a plate and sat down beside her at the table. There was small silence till changed the subject. "So, read any good books lately?"

Hermione sat up a little straightening in the chair. "I have been reading muggle books Stephen King's Pet Semetary. It's creepy and it'll keep you up at night but I quiet enjoy it." She smiled.

"Oh, what's it about?"

Hermione looked at him explaining the book to him in grave detail. The excitement on her voice amazed him. Because that book just sounded…

"Creepy. Hermione I do believe you have gone morbid." He teased her, snickering a bit.

Hermione playfully slapped his arm.

"I have not, it may not be romance or history but it's interesting. You should check it out, if you can sleep at night after wards."

"Well I am sure I can find something to do if it does." He winked at her. "Or I'll just have to sleep with you." Hermione blushed. Did Bill Weasley just make a pass at her? She smiled at him and went with it.

"Well I guess so." she smiled back. Bill had a sparkle in his eye as they continued to flirt back and forth.

Hermione pulled away from him to put her plate in the sink rinsing it off. Bill followed her lead, she leaned against the sink. Bill took another look at the beautiful witch. "Well I have to get to work. I hate leaving you by yourself right now, but you are safe here."

"No, no you go. I don't wan to keep you from work." She gave him a small smile. Bill leaned down and kissed her forehead. "I'll see you later then." Bill disappeared in the Floo. Hermione sighed, she left the kitchen and went to her room to unpack everything, she even had to put her things with Bills, hoping he wouldn't mind. She then sat the on the couch the remainder of the day reading Pet Semetary. And scaring herself all in the process.

Bill was behind the couch. He let out a loud yawn, Hermione jumped and let out a squeal. "Shit Bill, you scared me."

He chuckled. "I'm sorry I didn't know you were there" Hermione's Heart was beating really fast. "Is that book of yours scaring you?"

"No you did." She narrowed her eyes at him. He walked around the couch and sat beside him.

"I'm sorry 'Mione. But you wouldn't be so jumpy if you weren't reading it. Are you even sure you're going to be able to sleep alone at night?" He teased.

"Maybe, I should just get a hold of one your siblings and see if they will have a sleep over with me." She stuck out her tongue.

"You're cute." He said. "But I am pretty sure they're all busy this time of night. And with no heads up. Sides you have me."

"We survived a war, you would think I wouldn't be so freaked out. You are probably right even if they would drop what they were doing for me, I don't want that. I don't want to burden any one." Hermione looked back at her book.

"You wouldn't be a burden to me." He said soothingly. "I am going to take a shower, if you need me you know where I am." He got up and Hermione through her book at him. "Hey, I didn't say you had to join me." He chuckled.

"Just go shower, you smell like Gringotts." She shewed him off. As if she would have the nerve to even walk in there while he was in there. Or go in his room. Blushing at the very thought. No she knew her boundaries. And even though he was flirting with her, she was sure his bed was off limits to her.

Even when she was with Draco, Bill seemed to flirt with her, he obviously was not teasing her all the time. And Hermione couldn't help but to flirt back with the eldest of the siblings. 9 Years age gap. She was 23, he's 32. He calls his younger siblings brats all the time, but what did he think of Hermione.

Thinking on this for so long she didn't even notice that Bill was out of the shower, dressed in red boxers and white shirt, standing and staring at her. She shook her head "No." She said allowed got up to get her book walking into Bill, she squealed again.

Bill just laughed. "You really didn't see me did you?"

Hermione standing so close to him. He smells good. She thought. "No, honestly I didn't." She giggled "I was just going to get my book."

"You threw it at me, I don't think I'll allow you to get it so easily." He said, it was clear he wanted to play. Hermione quickly went around him and ran for her book, he grabbed her and tackled her to his couch, he pinned her down. "See not so easy."

"Well you do have the advantage here." She laughed. "Do you plan on keeping pinned here all night?"

"If you give me a reason too." He winked at her. Hermione felt heat hit her cheeks.

"Well in that case I will just have to sleep just like this, I am warning though I cuddle in my sleep."

"What kind of warning is that, that's more of an invitation." He said with a smile piercing his lips. Oh for the love of Merlin, just kiss me already. She thought, causing her to blush.

"What are you thinking?"

"Erm nothing."

"Yeah okay I have my reason to keep you pinned, that and your invitation."

"I don't see how sleeping on top of me will be comfortable for us, since you are bigger than me. You'll squish me." She giggled.

"I have no intention of squishing you." It was very clear that his wolf was making him act this way. She drove him mad. Bill moved his hands down to her side and started to tickle her, feeling her squirm beneath him. He knee grazed his dick, he let out a low growl. Once she ran out of breath he stopped tickling her.

Hermione yawned. "Are you comfortable?" Bill asked

"Can't say this is the most comfortable position I have ever been in, but it's okay."

"No, are comfortable staying here, with me?" He asked more calm, not flirting.

She nodded. "Yes. I enjoy being around you, William." He rolled his eyes.

"I usually get called by my first name is if I am in trouble by my mother. But I like how it rolls off your tongue." Bill leaned his body down on her kissing her forehead, he then got up off of her. "It's really late now, you should probably get to bed."

Hermione got up and grabbed her book. "If you want me, you know where to find me, night 'Mione"

"Night, Bill."
