Chapter 16 Hugh's Return

"Ah Hermione" he looked in her direction "and the Malfoy kid"

"Draco!" Lucius' icy voice rang "Get away from that filthy Mudblood!"

Draco and Hermione both shivered at the name

"No father! You may have hurt me many times before, but never again!" Draco looked at Hermione then at his father "Anyway father, she is half blood, you sent me to stay with her this summer, remember? I will not let you hurt her!"

"Don't be foolish Draco, she IS a Mudblood!"

"No she's not!" the whole school turned around to see Mr and Mrs Granger coming through the halls. Both with wands drawn "she's pure"

"You're a pureblood?" Draco whispered in her ear

"I'm. I uh oh god I'm pure? " Hermione almost fainted at this point

"I love you"

"I love you too"

"Draco," Lucius said as he approached his son "don't tell me you have fallen in love with this.this" Lucius struggled for words "this bitch"

"Father don't call her that" and with that he let go of Hermione's hand and threw a ferocious punch at his own father

Hermione went straight to the next person she could think off to protect her, Harry

"Harry don't let him hurt me, please" Tears started to well up in her eyes

"It's ok I wont, just one problem"

"What?"

"The armour. Help me out of it"

"Ok"

Within minutes, with the help of Ron, Hermione and a very scared Ginny Harry was out of the armour.

"Gin, sweetie I'll be ok, I wont get hurt" Harry kissed her forehead then turned to Ron "Take Gin, Mione and Lav back to the Tower. Here" he dived back into his suit of armour and dug out something, and then he threw something silvery grey at him. His invisibility cloak "go over there and then leave!" he pointed to an empty table near the door. Ginny ran at him "Gin trust me I'm gunna be ok" and with that he kissed her passionately when the kiss broke he looked her in the eyes "Now leave before you get hurt" he leaned down to whisper in her ear "I love you"

"I love you too Harry" he looked into her tear filled eyes

"I'll be fine. Go!"

Ginny ran to where the others were hiding Harry looked over to her and into her eyes as Ron covered them with the cloak. Then drew his wand to fight the death eaters. The other four ran back up to the Tower. Unnoticed
