Ron, Seamus, and Dean couldn't keep up with Harry, and so they
finally gave up, giving their horses a rest, and walked into the beautiful
field filled with people.and food. "I think I'm actually going to like
this!" Ron said while licking his lips. "Ron," Harry replied, "We're here
to save Malfoy, not to eat."
"Ugh." Ron answered, "Can you remind me again exactly why we're doing
this????"
"Because Parvarti said that if we were to save Draco, bad things
would happen--" Harry replied. "Then we shouldn't save him!" Ron
interrupted. Harry gave him an annoyed look and then added, "And if we
weren't to save him, even worse things will happen!"
"Harry," Seamus said, "I can't believe you actually believe that
fake!"
"Seamus, she's not a fake. She's the top profit ever since Professor
Trelawney!" Harry replied annoyingly. "Even so, I still can't believe we're
doing this." Dean said. "If anyone asks," Neville added, "I'm not doing
this for Draco!.I'm doing this for the good of the magic world!"
"Here here!" they all agreed.

When Hermione's coach got to the castle, she took a deep breath, and slowly walked out. She had to admit the plantation was beautiful. "I can see why Draco can't afford to buy his own people food." she whispered to herself sarcastically. All of a sudden she saw Victor walk towards her. "Her-mio-ninny!" he said with delight, "You look bee-u-tee-ful!" "Thank you Victor." she replied while he kissed her on the hand. "Come." he said, "Let me introduce you to some of my friends." He lead her over to a group of fat men and women who looked as if they were drunk. "This is Isabel." he said while gesturing to one of the plump women. "Er.hello.Isabel." Hermione replied trying to smile. "Oh!" she practically screamed, "You're Victor's fiancée! How lovely to meet you!" "Victor!" a man said, "you said that she was pretty, but this one.she beats them all!" Hermione blushed at that comment. They kept blabbing on about oh.what was it.ah yes, Isabel's cat drinking her tea. (A very unimportant subject on Hermione's opinion) when she finally got so tired of it she interrupted her and said, "You know what? I think I'm going to walk around a little bit.um.explore." Victor looked at her surprisingly. "Are you sure because she was just getting to the good part darling!" he asked. "Yes Victor, I'm sure." she replied and walked off to the courtyard.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Meanwhile, Draco was up in one of his many living rooms with his Duke, Crabbe who amazingly had gotten smarter over the years, and his bodyguard, Goyle, who still couldn't tell the difference of an orange from a lemon. Draco was looking out through his telescope at his guests when all of a sudden he saw a young woman walking out on the patio near the fountains. "Crabbe?" Draco asked, "Who's that girl over there by the fountains?" Crabbe sighed annoyingly. "I'm sorry Draco, but she's already taken by a Bulgarian man by the name of Victor Krum." he replied. "Ah, so did he finally come to his senses and throw Granger in the dirt where he belongs?" Draco asked smirking. "Um.no sir. That is Miss Granger." Draco was taking a sip of wine as Crabbe said that and he immediately spit it out all over the floor. "What?!" he yelled in shock, "You're lying! That is not Granger!" "Yes Draco." Crabbe replied, "It is." "Woh!" he said in shock. "She's.changed.I shall have her anyhow, Krum or no Krum. Goyle! Get ready to turn on the fountains, I'm not letting her go."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Seamus, Dean!" Harry ordered, "Go find the assassins, they shouldn't be far. Split up. One of you go right, the other, left. Neville, go make sure that the people are well distracted.um.let one of our fast horses loose.scare it.or something!" "Yes Sir." Neville replied as Seamus, Dean, and he ran off to do as they were told. "Ron." Harry said, "You and I are going to find Malfoy."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Hermione was walking along the patio when all of a sudden the fountains to her right turned on, she started running towards the left, but those fountains turned on also. She ran forward and the fountains turned on their too. Her only hope was to turn around and run before the fountains started up behind her. As soon as she turned around she ran straight into someone and fell to the floor. She looked up to see none other than Draco offering a hand to help her up. "Are you alright?" he asked.almost.kindly. Hermione was speechless. She just stared into his empty, gray eyes and then bowed down.something that she never wanted to do again. He gently touched her chin and lifted her head up. "Please, stand up." he begged. His fingers were cold, but she stood up anyhow. He walked around her examining her body. She stood up straight barely even moving.afraid that if she did she'd "accidentally" hurt him. He then stopped in front of her, "Wow Granger." he said eyeing her up and down. "You've really changed." "Yes." she finally had the courage to say, "And I'm engaged." "Yes, yes.I heard.Congratulations." he said sarcastically which caused her to give him a disgusted look. "To Victor Krum.I assume that you've heard of him." she said sternly. "He--" "Shh" he said while putting his finger against her lips and his other hand so tightly around her wrist that it was cutting off her circulation. "Let go of me!" she said angrily. But he wouldn't.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Ahhhhhhh, fountains!" Ron said. "Good job Neville!" Harry squinted his eyes for he was looking past the fountains. "I think that's where Draco is Ron." he said sternly while running towards the fountains. "Hey!" Ron screamed, "Wait up!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Hermione tried to pull away, but his grasp was too tight. "You're hurting me Malfoy!" she screamed. All of a sudden when she thought that he was squeezing her wrist so tightly that she was going to pass out, she saw someone jump through the water and land next to Draco, then another body come through the water shortly after. By the distraction, Hermione was able to pull away from him while rubbing her pale wrist, giving him a disgusted look. "What's the meaning of this?!" Draco asked angrily. "No time to talk Malfoy," an auburn-haired man said, "we need to get you out of sight, now." "'Maam?" the other man asked seeing that she looked as if she was hurt, "Are you alright?" All of a sudden the fountains disappeared and Hermione ran as fast as she could out to the crowd. "Hey!" Draco screamed, "Come back here!" He started to run after her, with Harry behind him, and Ron behind Harry. While Hermione ran through the crowd Krum saw her and started running after Ron. She changed her direction and headed towards the left side of the castle. As she looked back to see if she had lost them yet (which she hadn't) she ran into something hard with so much pressure that she immediately fell to the ground. She looked up to see a man with a gun aimed straight at Malfoy.
Ron, Seamus, and Dean couldn't keep up with Harry, and so they finally gave up, giving their horses a rest, and walked into the beautiful field filled with people.and food.
