Hermione and Draco looked at the police briefly, but then spun around, and began to run down the hallway as fast as their feet could carry them. The police began to shout spells, but they missed their targets, because Hermione and Draco all ready ran around the corner into the kitchen. Hermione bit her lip and peered around the kitchen, with the police were right behind her, who seemed pissed. They shouted another spell at Draco, but he immediately moved out of the way. The police glared and shouted loudly in French.
Hermione pointed toward the back door, and she muttered, "This way."
Draco pushed open the door, and they ran out in the backyard as the angry police followed them. The backyard was huge, and there were trees everywhere, that were looking terrifying against the thunder filled skies. However it was a very dark night, and Hermione and Draco were wearing dark clothes as a part of Beauxbatons uniform. This made it very difficult for the police to find them in the blackness.
Hermione brushed the hair out of her eyes, and instantly flew behind one of the huge trees. She bit her lip, and huddled herself out of sight as best as she could. Draco followed this pursuit. Hermione leaned against the rough wet bark of the tree, and prayed that the police would not head into the mass of trees to search. Fortunately for her, they didn't follow them.
Instead the police headed back inside, for further planning. ~They probably are going to get the whole police force to search for us, and make SURE we don't get away. ~ Hermione thought to herself.
Hermione peered around the tree, and muttered, "Draco?"
"What!" came Draco's furious voice.
Hermione sighed, and thought ~ He is pissed. This isn't good. ~
Hermione shook her head and muttered, "Fleur is dead, and everyone, including Gabby, thinks that we SENT Pansy, Ron, Harry, Ginny, or Blaise to do the murder. Do you know much trouble we are in! What do you think about that?"
Draco's angry face appeared from behind one of the tree trunks. He looked pretty scary with the black shadow over his face. He replied, "You do not want to know what I am thinking! Trust me!"
Hermione crawled over from her hiding place to where Draco was sitting. Her chocolate eyes were wide and soft; as she stared into Draco's cold gray ones. She cried, "Draco, listen. Don't be angry. Be brave. We have to get out of here, and search for our friends, and PROVE to everyone that Lucius is still alive, and at large."
Draco muttered, "But that is impossible."
Slowly Draco stood up, and ran through the trees, without saying another word. Hermione felt the tears in her eyes again, and she ran after him. "Draco, stop acting like a fool." Hermione snarled.
There was not answer. Draco just continued running into the blackness of the stormy night. Hermione cursed under her breath, and kept running as fast as she could. This was simply mad. Soon this yard would be swarming with police, and they would be caught eventually. Hermione knew that they must avoid capture at all costs. If they were caught there would be no way that they could save their friends.
Hermione gulped, and followed Draco's soft quick footsteps. ~This is going to be a long night~ she thought in frustration.
Hermione ran as fast as she could until she finally caught up to Draco. His face was filled with determination, and anger. Hermione tapped him on the shoulder, and asked, "Where are you going?"
Draco stared directly at Hermione and said boldly, "I am going to find him. I am going to LOOK for Lucius, and make sure that he gets the just desserts that he DESERVES!"
Hermione felt her heart pounding. "Oh no! You know what happened to Jewel when she went looking for Lucius and the same with Fleur! They died Draco!"
"I DO NOT CARE!" Draco shouted in fury, "If he wants me dead, well, I will be dammed. I will not let him kill anyone else. I can face him myself. Kill me. Huh? I would love to see him try!"
"Are you insane? You know that he would be all too willing to try!" Hermione cried in panic.
"Maybe," Draco muttered as he continued running, but a little more slowly this time. Hermione gulped. Why was he so stubborn?
Hermione suddenly felt the icy wind and rain blow through her curly hair. She shuddered in the cold, but then she thought of something that scared her silly. Hermione said, "Draco, what if Lucius is here right now looking for us! HERE!"
Draco stopped dead in his tracks and slowly turned around, "What do you mean? Why would he be here looking for us here? Lucius could be anywhere."
Hermione felt her heart pounding hard against her chest as she said, "Well, if he DID murder Fleur, he knows that we would be running from the police right? Well, what if he is hiding, and is ready to kill us right in the backyard. This backyard is more like a forest really, so there are plenty of good places to hide, and when the police would find us it would be too late."
Hermione and Draco peered around their dark surroundings anxiously. The dark trees and rain added to the eeriness. They slowly turned around, half expecting to see Lucius leering down at them with his evil icy eyes. "I'm scared." Hermione whimpered softly.
"Me too," Draco admitted, "But he IS what I am looking for."
Suddenly Draco shouted at the top of his lungs, "LUCIUS! If you are out here, I am waiting for you! Come on! Show me what you got! I am not afraid of you!"
Hermione yelped, and grabbed Draco's arm, "Are you crazy?"
"Maybe," Draco replied.
The wind blew harder and harder, but there was no sign of Lucius. Hermione tugged Draco, "Lets just LEAVE! Those police are going to be here any second! Come on!"
~*~*~*~
Hermione and Draco were exhausted. They fled as quickly as they could, and now were in a dark alleyway in the city. The alleyway was filthy and there was trash everywhere, but there was no one that could hurt them for it was as empty as could be. Hermione felt herself shudder. This was not an appropriate place to spend the night. Not only was the alleyway filthy, but also it was storming out and it was really cold.
Hermione sighed, "We can't stay here."
"I know. I know" Draco muttered.
Hermione looked around, and she nudged Draco's arm. "What?" Draco asked.
"Look," Hermione said in awe.
There was a door on one of the dirty buildings and it had an advertisement on it. There was a picture of a gorgeous glimmering crystal ball, and stars. The sign sad:
Madame Nyssa: Seer Extraordinaire
Anything you want to know? She WILL know!
~*Enter*~
Draco snickered, "Hermione I thought you did not believe in this BS!"
Hermione giggled, "Well, I usually don't, but think about it! Maybe she could tell us where our friends are!"
Draco's face became full of that fiery determination again, "AND she could tell me where Lucius is! I WILL STOP HIM!"
And with that said, Draco threw the door open with Hermione behind, twirling her hair nervously.
OOH! How exciting! So, will Madame Nyssa give them proper answers? Will Hermione lose her mind? Will they find their friends? Will the find Lucius? Will Lucius brought to justice? Answer some of these during the week I am gone. BAI!
