This time is Imperfect
Harry grabbed Draco and pulled him into the house. Everyone surrounded him as he sobbed more and more trying to explain why he was there. He was shaking then finally stopped crying.
"I didn't know you lived here, I tried to run away from the deatheaters, my father made me, and I didn't want to, he beat me, almost killed me, I just kept running I didn't know where to go" he said as everyone started blankly at him.
"I will leave I guess" he tried to stand but couldn't.
Hermione looked up at them then down at Draco.
"Wait, where will you go?" Harry asked.
"I don't know, I just have to get as far away from my father and those horrible followers, and most of all Voldemort"
"Why did you leave?" Harry asked
"I can't stand this little charade that I have been pulling, its not me, I don't know how to get away from his clutches, so I ran after he tried to combine me to the group and beat me up, I didn't know you lived here I am sorry" they all looked surprised.
"So they tried to combine you and make you one of them?" Hermione asked.
He lifted up his sleeve and showed them the mark, they all gaped at it.
Hermione looked up at all of them, Harry sensing what she thought nodded.
"You can stay here the night or here until you recuperate your strength. I will show you to your room" he smiled but thought in his head 'perfect, bought all of it' she pulled him up and helped him up the stairs and to her room. Ron glared at Harry his face was priceless and made Ginny laugh. She pushed into her room.
"Well this is my room" she said.
"Not much too look at is there" he said quietly and looked at her.
"You need a bath" she pushed him into the bathroom that was attached to her room.
He began to undress, she couldn't help but stare. When he was down to his boxers she stared at all of the cuts and bruises. She got a washcloth damped it in warm water and began cleaning the dried blood.
He watched her she had turned into a very beautiful young lady. He shook that out of his head, 'I need to get her trust'
"I am sorry" she looked up at him in surprise.
"What?"
"I am sorry, I am sorry for being such an ass at school, I am sorry for treating you badly, ruining your life, and most of all sorry for not getting to know someone as beautiful as you" her jaw dropped.
"You should get in the tub, I will be up in a little while" she walked out leaving him smirking.
She walked down the stairs to Harry and Ron arguing.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?" Ron screamed.
"Calm down, he isn't one of them"
"HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?"
"I don't but Ron you have to trust me, we will talk about it later after I get a hold of Fudge." She picked up the phone.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE ALL OF YOU ATE HIS STORY!"
"Ron calm down, if he is trying something, I work at the ministry we have him right were we need him"
Ron thinking it over just glared and sat down.
"That's what I was thinking" Harry said.
"What is he doing?" Ginny asked.
"Taking a bath, then I will feed him and get more information about last night out, Sirius and Lupin found them, told Fudge everything and he wants my team to crack the case" she smiled.
"That's why he wasn't their today" Harry said to Ginny as Mina eyed them suspiciously.
"What have you two been doing all day?" Mina snapped.
"Bumming around town" Harry shrugged and sat down.
"Fudge, yes we have Draco Malfoy at my home"
Everyone stared at Hermione as she said a hu, a hu, a hu.
"Ok, thanks" she hung up the phone.
"They are on their way" Hermione smiled.
"Good" Harry said and tapped his fingers on the couch. Mina eyed Ginny and Harry, she thought something was up.
Five minutes later a knock came to the door. Hermione opened it as Fudge, and two men walked in.
"Where is he?"
"In my room" she led them up the stairs.
She knocked on the door "Draco?"
"You can come in" he said as if she were stupid.
She opened the door and he smiled then faded as Fudge, and two men followed her in.
"Mr. Malfoy we would like to speak to you"
He didn't look scared or uncomfortable "yes sir" they all looked surprised.
"Why is it that you are here?" he asked promptly, and Sirius and Lupin looked ready to pound ass if anything happened.
"Like I said before I didn't know Harry lived hear, I got the dark mark last night, and tried to combine me but I refused, he beat me and I woke up in my house, my father hit me again and told me I was a fool, then he led me down a small hallway and down to the dungeons, all sixty deatheaters, including my best friends kicked the shit out of me, I had to leave, I got away and ran as far and fast as I could, Harry's house happened to be the first house I came across to from the forest"
Fudge nodded,
"I truly hate my fa...father, I was never real, or alive, or had my own life, until now, although I am not safe, they will hunt me down and kill me, I am putting all of you in danger just being here, I will be killed, but until then..,"
All of them seemed to consider it "well I don't know what to think, Sirius and Lupin are spies and watched you last night, they said you did restrain, I will try to believe you but not until Sirius and Lupin find out the details for sure"
Meanwhile at the Malfoy Manor.....,
Lucius a smart man new they might have spies played it like it were a true tale. They snuck into the house Lucius was in his study yelling.
"WHERE IS HE? THAT FOOL BETRAYED ME AND THE DARK LORD, NACRISSA I CAN'T TAKE THIS, and BLOODY FOOL WILL BE KILLED" he yelled, Sirius and Lupin stared in shock, and he was telling the truth.
Sirius who was in love with Narcrissa and she was in love with him, tried to be together. She didn't know the plan that her son and Lucius was performing.
"GET OUT OF MY OFFICE NOW!" he yelled as she scampered out.
When out and into the hall she hugged Sirius and pulled him into an empty room that was never used, Lupin followed.
"My son is good, he got away, they are going to kill him, and oh how I love him" she said and started to cry in happiness.
Sirius hugged her "Don't worry dear, I knew he was good"
Lupin smiled at the happy couple.
"You better leave Lucius is raging mad and I need to tend to Tina" she smiled and kissed him on the lips then left the office.
They smiled to each other and apparated to Potters house.
"Sirius" Harry called and he smiled.
"What are you doing here?" Harry asked.
"We just got back from the Malfoy Manor, turns out he is telling the truth, he is a good boy" Sirius and Lupin smiled.
Ron's jaw dropped and then tried to consider it.
"Where is the boy?" they asked.
"Up in Hermione's room, first door on the right" Ginny said as Sirius and Lupin made it up the stairs.
They knocked on the door slowly, Hermione's head poked through the door and she smiled "hello, come in" she opened the door wider. Sirius immediately eyes Draco, and then he smiled.
"Your father is rather angry at you" he chuckled.
"That old git doesn't know where I am does he?" asking already knowing the answer was yes.
"Nope" Fudge smiled realizing that he was telling the truth.
"How is mother and Teeny?" he asked causing Hermione to smile at the fact he called his sister Teeny.
"They are ok for now" Sirius said a little gloomily.
"We will kidnap them out of there" Draco said and made Sirius laugh. 'They seem to be hitting it off well' Hermione thought.
"We should let this boy his rest" Fudge said as Sirius Lupin and the two men stepped out.
"Hermione can I have a word?" he said to her and she nodded.
"Give me a sec ok" she said and he nodded walking out of the room.
"So you are good" she said as he chuckled.
"Yep"
"Are you sure this isn't a little game"
"Yes, trust me I am truly sorry, you would have acted the way Lucius told you to if you were his kid"
"Maybe so, but it's hard to trust you after years of insults"
He nodded hating every minute of this, just wishing to yell at her.
"Well you can stay in here, I am sure you don't need instructions on how to get in the bed" she turned to the door.
"You could help me, you know working on the bed" he smirked turning his back to her and walking to the bed.
"What was that?" she turned and looked at his back.
"Oh, nothing" he pulled out the covers and hopped in.
"Goodnight, Hermione" he smiled and layed back.
"Night" she turned off the light and closed the door.
Fudge stood "Thank you for letting him stay"
"No problem"
"Now any funny business happens you report it to me understood?"
She nodded and smiled.
"See you tomorrow at work"
"See you" they walked down the stairs where Lupin and Sirius were talking with Harry and Ron.
"Goodnight, I will keep in touch" Fudge said to everyone and walked out followed by the men.
"Well I suppose we should be leaving as well" Sirius said as he and Lupin retreated to the door.
"I will stop by tomorrow" Harry said while standing in the door way holding it open.
"Alright see you then" They walked out of the house and disappeared. Harry smiled and shut the door.
"This is crazy" he said.
"You're telling me" Ginny said.
"Where are we going to sleep now?" Ron snapped at Hermione.
"On the couch, maybe" she smiled throwing the blankets on him.
"I guess were off then" Harry said grabbing Minas hand and pulling her up the stairs.
"Night guys"
"Night Gin" she climbed up the stairs.
"I don't like this at all" Ron snapped as Hermione pulled off her shirt and skirt.
"What are you doing Malfoy is here" Ron said covering Hermione.
"He is upstairs" she snapped pushing him away.
She layed down on the couch as he undressed and then got down in with her. He wrapped the blanket around them and snuggled up to her pretending it was Mina (asshole)
"Ron the light"
"Damit" he said and got off the couch turning off the lights then climbed back in with her.
Hermione woke up at 7:30 and ran up the stairs, she snuck into her room and grabbed some clothes, and Draco never woke. She slowly walked out and shut the door. She changed in the bathroom at the end of the hall and put on some makeup and pulled her hair into a bun.
She walked down the stairs Ginny was up cooking breakfast. Harry and Mina soon followed, Ron never woke. Hermione grabbed the paper poured a glass of orange juice said goodbyes, not bothering to kiss Ron and left.
When she arrived Parvati followed her in her office.
"The news is out, Draco Malfoy is good he ran away and is hiding out, although Fudge wouldn't tell me where" Parvati said.
"I know" Hermione smiled and sat down.
"How do you know?"
"I know where he is staying" she laughed at Parvati's face.
"Where?" she gasped.
Hermione looked innocently "I don't remember"
"Shut up tell me now" she through a pen at her.
"Ok he is staying with me, he showed up all fucked up from being beaten and then tells us what is going on, I call fudge who has Sirius and Lupin got to the Malfoy Manor figures out he is telling the truth and he is sleeping in my bed now" she said.
"Oh you bitch, what about Ron?" she smiled.
"What do you mean?" Hermione said while opening the paper.
"UGH, Stupid, wait you fucked him didn't you"
"No, you stupid ass" Hermione laughed.
"You were close?" she guessed.
"No, now shut up, I am dating a very loyal (ya right), handsome, charming young man, who I have known since I was a young girl, so"
"You thought about it right?" Parvati giggled.
"Oh, shut up" she said while looking back down at the paper.
Fudge walked in the door "Miss Patil can I have a word with Hermione" Parvati nodded and walked out.
"How was the first night?" He asked while sitting in one of her chairs.
"Went well, he was quiet and kept to himself, didn't disturb anyone"
"That's good to here, Dumbledore found out and was quite shocked himself, and Snape was happy too, he himself is a spy and was glad to see Draco choosing the right path"
"Well it's shocking" Hermione smiled.
"It is isn't it?"
"I hope everything can get settled down and he can return to his life and hopefully change it to a happy life"
"I am sure he will, well keep on top, you're doing a good job" Fudge said and walked out. Hermione watched him leave and then pulled out the picture from Draco's folder. She stared at it, she stole his folder, didn't return it.
Ron woke up feeling Mina's kisses. Ron jumped up and looked around.
"Don't worry everyone is gone"
"Yes but that asshole is up stairs"
"I don't think you need to worry about him"
She kissed him and started unbuttoning his shirt and kissing his chest, soon all the clothes were off and it was serious body moving happening.
Harry was on his way to visit Sirius and was dropping Ginny off at Subway. The car was silent, both recalculating the events from the previous night.
"I can't believe all of this is happening" she said breaking the silence.
He looked at her, and saw such an amazingly beautiful woman. She smiled at him and made him go a little weak. He started breathing heavier and turned his attention back to the road.
"Are you ok?" she asked touching his head.
"I'm fine don't touch me" he snapped her away causing her to jump.
The rest of the ride was quiet. He pulled into Subway, she got out didn't say goodbye or anything just slammed the door and walked inside.
Hermione was working on paper work when a knock came to the door.
"Come in" she called, when she looked up she saw Percy walk in.
"Oh great" she muttered under her breath.
"I hear that Mr. Malfoy is staying with you" he snapped.
"Yes" she replied setting her quill down and looking at him.
"Why your house?" he snapped again.
"How should I know, he didn't know we lived there, he just showed up"
"Seems odd to me"
"Ya well it's not your decision now is it"
He glared at her "what does my brother think about this arrangement?"
"He didn't like it but he obliged" she picked up her quill and began to write some more.
"Insane" he muttered under his breath making her look up.
"What was that?"
"Nothing, I just think you have the hots for him and don't care if he is set out to kill you"
"Ok, let's leave shall we" she stood pushing Percy out and slammed her door.
She walked back to her desk and continued her work.
Ron looked down at Mina "I have to ask Hermione marriage" he said and kissed her nose.
"Why?"
"I have to, Hermione thinks that"
"I can't do this anymore if you ask her to marriage"
"Why?" he asked hoarsely.
"Because, I don't want to be your second hand slut,"
"Your not you're my first priority, I will break it off with Hermione somehow, I haven't even had sex with her in two months"
Mina frowned "I had sex with Harry last night"
Ron looked disappointedly at the ground.
"But you're my first" she kissed his cheek and got on top of him.
Harry finally reached Sirius's house, he knocked on the door and stepped inside when Sirius opened the door grinning.
"Come in Harry sit down, how was the first night with him at the house?"
"It was ok, he was really quiet"
"That's good"
"Are you ok, you seem happier?"
"I do have something to tell you Harry"
Harry raised his eyebrows "really, what?"
"Well it doesn't come so easy but, I went to school with Narcrissa Malfoy, and we dated and I fell in love with her"
"I am sorry for that one" Harry joked.
"I am being serious"
"Sorry, what does this have to do with anything?"
"I am in love with her still"
Ginny frowned while she made sandwiches, 'why is Harry so mean to me?' she thought while still frowning. The muggle girls ordering were laughing at her. She didn't mind, she was used to being laughed at.
"Your total is 15.97" Ginny snapped at the girls.
The blonde girl laughed and pulled out a twenty, Ginny glared and worked the cashing machine.
The girls kept giggling and Ginny handed her change "5.03 is your change thank you for coming to Subway" she faked a smiled and walked over to the next customer.
Hermione stared at the phone; 'should I call and talk to Draco?' she contemplated things over in her brain and then decided not to. She looked at her watch 4:32 only three more hours.
"Great" she picked up papers she had looked over at least one hundred times and did it again.
"Why didn't you tell me you loved her earlier?"
"I couldn't, but don't worry, now that Draco is free we are going to get Narcrissa and Tina out"
"Tina, who is Tina?" Harry asked.
"Draco's three year old sister"
"I thought Draco was an only child,"
"Unexpected birth" Sirius smiled.
"You really love her?"
"Oh course I do, I never have stopped"
"I have to tell you this little crisis that I am going through" Harry stood and paced.
"What is it?"
"Well I love Mina, I love her so much but, I can't stop thinking of Ginny, I keep thinking I made this wrong mistake and I can't get over it"
"Why don't you tell her how you feel?"
"I can't Mina" he snapped.
"Tell Mina your differences"
"She'd be too crushed, she loved me too much, and if I ever cheated on her she would hate me, she is so loyal to me (boy is he wrong) I couldn't bare the pain I'd put her through"
"If you honestly love Ginny time will soon tell"
"Thanks, I better get back"
"Thank you for hearing me out...again" he laughed and hugged Harry.
"Next time bring Ginny" he laughed and watched Harry walk to the car.
"Don't worry I will, I need to pick her up from work so, I will see you later"
Harry got in the car and drove back to subway.
Ginny waited outside for Harry, the same girls from earlier walked out and started giggling but stopped when Harry pulled up in a mustang (what the hell) to pick her up. Their mouths dropped and Ginny smirked and got in the car.
Harry looked at her and smiled "what are you so happy about?"
"Those girls have been making fun of me all day,"
Harry didn't look but kissed Ginny on the cheek and drove off. Blowing the car exhaust on them.
Ginny smile didn't fade until they got to the house. It was the same as the night before, the house was clean and dinner was cooking.
"How was your day?" Harry asked kissing Mina.
"Good"
"Did he come down?" Ginny asked.
"Nope, I think he has been sleeping all day" Ron said.
"You would too if you were beaten and ran for miles" Mina snapped at im.
"Probably" Ron laughed and sat food down on the table.
And hour later Hermione arrived "sorry I got caught up in some work, had to stay late"
"We ate without you" Ron teased
"Thanks" she said sarcastically.
"No we didn't sit down" she sat and looked around.
"He is still sleeping" Harry said knowing what she was about to ask.
"Has he come down at all?"
"Nope"
"Hmm" Hermione shrugged and started eating her food.
Three days later.
It was Hermione's day off, Draco still hadn't woken. Harry and Mina left to visit Sirius; she went because Hermione and Ginny would be staying home. Hermione paced around the front of her door.
'How could someone sleep that long?' everyday and night she peeked her head in to see if he was still in there, she watched him sleep then would go back down stairs. 'Oh god what if he is dead' Hermione walked into her room and over to the edge of the bed. His chest was rising and falling.
She sighed in relief and sat on the bed watching him. She would have found it uncomfortable if she woke with him staring at her so she shook him up.
"Draco wake up" after a couple of pushes his eyes fluttered opened.
He looked around trying to remember his surrounding and then every piece came together.
"Hey" he said hoarsely closing his eyes.
"How are you feeling?" Hermione asked.
"Like shit, I need a bath, and I am starving"
"Well I'll go fill up the tub and cook you some dinner"
He opened his eyes "thank you"
"Your welcome" she smiled and walked into the bathroom.
She turned the faucet water warm/hot and then grabbed a towel then turning stopping dead in her tracks dropping the towel.
Draco stood Naked "what?" he asked while scratching the back of his head.
"N.No.Nothing" she replied while bending down and picking up the towel. She closed her eyes and stood, knowing he was inches from her.
She opened her eyes and looked at his face "here is your towel"
"Thanks, could you leave so I could.you know" she nodded and walked out. When she reached the outside of her room she leaned against the door jaw dropped. Her face then cracked into a smile, oh how Parvati would be jealous.
She walked down the stairs passing the living room where everyone was watching The Lord of the Rings. She walked into the kitchen and started cooking a steak, and fried up some veggies.
Ron walked in "mmm" and wrapped arms around her waist. She smiled as she stirred the food in the pan.
"What are you cooking?" he kissed her neck.
"Draco's dinner" he stopped kissing her and pulled away.
She turned and looked at him questionably.
"He is up"
She nodded, "he'll probably finish his bath, eat, and then sleep, and he looks dreadfully tired"
"Well you are such a sweetheart, always there to help others," she smiled and kissed him but he pulled away.
"What was that for?" she asked.
"I have to talk to you about really important things later ok?"
"Ok" she nodded and turned back to the food.
When it was finished she poured him some coke and smirked 'he's probably never tried it' and walked up the stairs with the food, salt and pepper, and steak sauce on a tray. She knocked with her foot and heard him call 'come in'
She carefully opened the door and walked in, seeing him in bed again.
"Wow" he smiled and rubbed is hands together.
She set it down on his lap and then watched him.
"I think you outdid yourself"
"Nah, you need a good meal after what you've been through"
He smiled "thanks"
She returned it and continued to watch him.
"What is this?" he said holding up the steak sauce.
"It helps add to the flavor of the steak" he nodded and poured a little on the side of his plate, just the way she did.
He cut the steak and dipped it in the sauce then placed it in his mouth. He smiled and chewed it up. He reached for the coke and took a drink.
"What is that?" he looked at it disgustingly.
"Its coke, a muggle drink" he shrugged and set it down.
"You know its weird having someone watch you eat" he said smiling but not looking up at her.
"Sorry" she stood.
"No stay" he looked up and she sat back down.
"So how long have you lived here?" he asked not looking up.
"Um about a year and a half"
He raised his eyebrows "wow"
"You're so much different than what I thought" she stared at his features.
"People just don't get me that's all" he said still not looking up at her. She had a penetrating glance, he didn't like it.
"My boyfriend doesn't get me"
He stopped cutting his meat and winced his eyes then looked at her.
"Since when do you have a boyfriend?" he said coldly.
"Since four years"
"And who would that be?"
"Ron" she whispered and looked down but he heard.
He looked at her for a little longer then looked back down.
"They never do, do they?" he said continually cutting his meat.
She looked up at him surprisingly, he didn't insult her.
"Do you guys fuck?" he asked then scrunched his face, 'shouldn't have said that' he thought.
"I am sorry, I didn't mean to ask, or say it like that but when your used to being like that" he looked down cursing himself in his head.
"Its ok, I will come back up in a little while to get your plate" she stood and walked out. He watched her "stupid idiot" he cursed himself.
.
The next day at work Hermione was leaning on the counter while Parvati was filling out something.
"I just realized yesterday I haven't had sex in two months" Hermione said causing Parvati to look up and a few other workers to spit out their coffee.
"What made you think of that?"
"Draco"
Parvati smiled wickedly "did he kiss you or something?"
"No, I was talking to him and I told about me and Ron and then he asked do you guys fuck, then said sorry right afterwards, I got offended but didn't say anything just walked down stairs and finished watching the movie with the crew, but thought about sex the whole time"
"Why haven't you?" she said looking back down and continuing to fill it out.
"I don't know" she shook her head.
"You guys are just too busy and with Draco in your room it makes it harder"
"Yah" she said and continued to lean on the counter.
Draco woke he looked at the clock 7:45, he slept all day. He looked at the dresser his plate was still on it. 'She must be pissed' she thought.
She knocked on the door and poked her head in.
"How are you feeling?"
"Good, listen sorry about last night" he sat up and stood out of the bed walking over to her in his "boxers"
She stopped walking and faced him.
"Your fine, I was just too tired to get your plates last night"
He nodded his head "I need a shower" he said and walked into the bathroom.
"Come down for dinner when your ready" she called.
"Ok" he called back.
She grabbed his plates and walked down the stairs and too the kitchen.
The doorbell rang; Ginny walked over and opened it.
"Mum, dad what are you doing here?" Hermione heard Ginny say 'o god no not Ron's parents' Hermione thought while putting on a fake smile and walking into the living room.
A/N: Wow a long chapter, anyways, what will happen when Ron's parents see Draco? And was that jealousy Draco had when found out Hermione had a boyfriend? Story unfolds!
Harry grabbed Draco and pulled him into the house. Everyone surrounded him as he sobbed more and more trying to explain why he was there. He was shaking then finally stopped crying.
"I didn't know you lived here, I tried to run away from the deatheaters, my father made me, and I didn't want to, he beat me, almost killed me, I just kept running I didn't know where to go" he said as everyone started blankly at him.
"I will leave I guess" he tried to stand but couldn't.
Hermione looked up at them then down at Draco.
"Wait, where will you go?" Harry asked.
"I don't know, I just have to get as far away from my father and those horrible followers, and most of all Voldemort"
"Why did you leave?" Harry asked
"I can't stand this little charade that I have been pulling, its not me, I don't know how to get away from his clutches, so I ran after he tried to combine me to the group and beat me up, I didn't know you lived here I am sorry" they all looked surprised.
"So they tried to combine you and make you one of them?" Hermione asked.
He lifted up his sleeve and showed them the mark, they all gaped at it.
Hermione looked up at all of them, Harry sensing what she thought nodded.
"You can stay here the night or here until you recuperate your strength. I will show you to your room" he smiled but thought in his head 'perfect, bought all of it' she pulled him up and helped him up the stairs and to her room. Ron glared at Harry his face was priceless and made Ginny laugh. She pushed into her room.
"Well this is my room" she said.
"Not much too look at is there" he said quietly and looked at her.
"You need a bath" she pushed him into the bathroom that was attached to her room.
He began to undress, she couldn't help but stare. When he was down to his boxers she stared at all of the cuts and bruises. She got a washcloth damped it in warm water and began cleaning the dried blood.
He watched her she had turned into a very beautiful young lady. He shook that out of his head, 'I need to get her trust'
"I am sorry" she looked up at him in surprise.
"What?"
"I am sorry, I am sorry for being such an ass at school, I am sorry for treating you badly, ruining your life, and most of all sorry for not getting to know someone as beautiful as you" her jaw dropped.
"You should get in the tub, I will be up in a little while" she walked out leaving him smirking.
She walked down the stairs to Harry and Ron arguing.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?" Ron screamed.
"Calm down, he isn't one of them"
"HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?"
"I don't but Ron you have to trust me, we will talk about it later after I get a hold of Fudge." She picked up the phone.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE ALL OF YOU ATE HIS STORY!"
"Ron calm down, if he is trying something, I work at the ministry we have him right were we need him"
Ron thinking it over just glared and sat down.
"That's what I was thinking" Harry said.
"What is he doing?" Ginny asked.
"Taking a bath, then I will feed him and get more information about last night out, Sirius and Lupin found them, told Fudge everything and he wants my team to crack the case" she smiled.
"That's why he wasn't their today" Harry said to Ginny as Mina eyed them suspiciously.
"What have you two been doing all day?" Mina snapped.
"Bumming around town" Harry shrugged and sat down.
"Fudge, yes we have Draco Malfoy at my home"
Everyone stared at Hermione as she said a hu, a hu, a hu.
"Ok, thanks" she hung up the phone.
"They are on their way" Hermione smiled.
"Good" Harry said and tapped his fingers on the couch. Mina eyed Ginny and Harry, she thought something was up.
Five minutes later a knock came to the door. Hermione opened it as Fudge, and two men walked in.
"Where is he?"
"In my room" she led them up the stairs.
She knocked on the door "Draco?"
"You can come in" he said as if she were stupid.
She opened the door and he smiled then faded as Fudge, and two men followed her in.
"Mr. Malfoy we would like to speak to you"
He didn't look scared or uncomfortable "yes sir" they all looked surprised.
"Why is it that you are here?" he asked promptly, and Sirius and Lupin looked ready to pound ass if anything happened.
"Like I said before I didn't know Harry lived hear, I got the dark mark last night, and tried to combine me but I refused, he beat me and I woke up in my house, my father hit me again and told me I was a fool, then he led me down a small hallway and down to the dungeons, all sixty deatheaters, including my best friends kicked the shit out of me, I had to leave, I got away and ran as far and fast as I could, Harry's house happened to be the first house I came across to from the forest"
Fudge nodded,
"I truly hate my fa...father, I was never real, or alive, or had my own life, until now, although I am not safe, they will hunt me down and kill me, I am putting all of you in danger just being here, I will be killed, but until then..,"
All of them seemed to consider it "well I don't know what to think, Sirius and Lupin are spies and watched you last night, they said you did restrain, I will try to believe you but not until Sirius and Lupin find out the details for sure"
Meanwhile at the Malfoy Manor.....,
Lucius a smart man new they might have spies played it like it were a true tale. They snuck into the house Lucius was in his study yelling.
"WHERE IS HE? THAT FOOL BETRAYED ME AND THE DARK LORD, NACRISSA I CAN'T TAKE THIS, and BLOODY FOOL WILL BE KILLED" he yelled, Sirius and Lupin stared in shock, and he was telling the truth.
Sirius who was in love with Narcrissa and she was in love with him, tried to be together. She didn't know the plan that her son and Lucius was performing.
"GET OUT OF MY OFFICE NOW!" he yelled as she scampered out.
When out and into the hall she hugged Sirius and pulled him into an empty room that was never used, Lupin followed.
"My son is good, he got away, they are going to kill him, and oh how I love him" she said and started to cry in happiness.
Sirius hugged her "Don't worry dear, I knew he was good"
Lupin smiled at the happy couple.
"You better leave Lucius is raging mad and I need to tend to Tina" she smiled and kissed him on the lips then left the office.
They smiled to each other and apparated to Potters house.
"Sirius" Harry called and he smiled.
"What are you doing here?" Harry asked.
"We just got back from the Malfoy Manor, turns out he is telling the truth, he is a good boy" Sirius and Lupin smiled.
Ron's jaw dropped and then tried to consider it.
"Where is the boy?" they asked.
"Up in Hermione's room, first door on the right" Ginny said as Sirius and Lupin made it up the stairs.
They knocked on the door slowly, Hermione's head poked through the door and she smiled "hello, come in" she opened the door wider. Sirius immediately eyes Draco, and then he smiled.
"Your father is rather angry at you" he chuckled.
"That old git doesn't know where I am does he?" asking already knowing the answer was yes.
"Nope" Fudge smiled realizing that he was telling the truth.
"How is mother and Teeny?" he asked causing Hermione to smile at the fact he called his sister Teeny.
"They are ok for now" Sirius said a little gloomily.
"We will kidnap them out of there" Draco said and made Sirius laugh. 'They seem to be hitting it off well' Hermione thought.
"We should let this boy his rest" Fudge said as Sirius Lupin and the two men stepped out.
"Hermione can I have a word?" he said to her and she nodded.
"Give me a sec ok" she said and he nodded walking out of the room.
"So you are good" she said as he chuckled.
"Yep"
"Are you sure this isn't a little game"
"Yes, trust me I am truly sorry, you would have acted the way Lucius told you to if you were his kid"
"Maybe so, but it's hard to trust you after years of insults"
He nodded hating every minute of this, just wishing to yell at her.
"Well you can stay in here, I am sure you don't need instructions on how to get in the bed" she turned to the door.
"You could help me, you know working on the bed" he smirked turning his back to her and walking to the bed.
"What was that?" she turned and looked at his back.
"Oh, nothing" he pulled out the covers and hopped in.
"Goodnight, Hermione" he smiled and layed back.
"Night" she turned off the light and closed the door.
Fudge stood "Thank you for letting him stay"
"No problem"
"Now any funny business happens you report it to me understood?"
She nodded and smiled.
"See you tomorrow at work"
"See you" they walked down the stairs where Lupin and Sirius were talking with Harry and Ron.
"Goodnight, I will keep in touch" Fudge said to everyone and walked out followed by the men.
"Well I suppose we should be leaving as well" Sirius said as he and Lupin retreated to the door.
"I will stop by tomorrow" Harry said while standing in the door way holding it open.
"Alright see you then" They walked out of the house and disappeared. Harry smiled and shut the door.
"This is crazy" he said.
"You're telling me" Ginny said.
"Where are we going to sleep now?" Ron snapped at Hermione.
"On the couch, maybe" she smiled throwing the blankets on him.
"I guess were off then" Harry said grabbing Minas hand and pulling her up the stairs.
"Night guys"
"Night Gin" she climbed up the stairs.
"I don't like this at all" Ron snapped as Hermione pulled off her shirt and skirt.
"What are you doing Malfoy is here" Ron said covering Hermione.
"He is upstairs" she snapped pushing him away.
She layed down on the couch as he undressed and then got down in with her. He wrapped the blanket around them and snuggled up to her pretending it was Mina (asshole)
"Ron the light"
"Damit" he said and got off the couch turning off the lights then climbed back in with her.
Hermione woke up at 7:30 and ran up the stairs, she snuck into her room and grabbed some clothes, and Draco never woke. She slowly walked out and shut the door. She changed in the bathroom at the end of the hall and put on some makeup and pulled her hair into a bun.
She walked down the stairs Ginny was up cooking breakfast. Harry and Mina soon followed, Ron never woke. Hermione grabbed the paper poured a glass of orange juice said goodbyes, not bothering to kiss Ron and left.
When she arrived Parvati followed her in her office.
"The news is out, Draco Malfoy is good he ran away and is hiding out, although Fudge wouldn't tell me where" Parvati said.
"I know" Hermione smiled and sat down.
"How do you know?"
"I know where he is staying" she laughed at Parvati's face.
"Where?" she gasped.
Hermione looked innocently "I don't remember"
"Shut up tell me now" she through a pen at her.
"Ok he is staying with me, he showed up all fucked up from being beaten and then tells us what is going on, I call fudge who has Sirius and Lupin got to the Malfoy Manor figures out he is telling the truth and he is sleeping in my bed now" she said.
"Oh you bitch, what about Ron?" she smiled.
"What do you mean?" Hermione said while opening the paper.
"UGH, Stupid, wait you fucked him didn't you"
"No, you stupid ass" Hermione laughed.
"You were close?" she guessed.
"No, now shut up, I am dating a very loyal (ya right), handsome, charming young man, who I have known since I was a young girl, so"
"You thought about it right?" Parvati giggled.
"Oh, shut up" she said while looking back down at the paper.
Fudge walked in the door "Miss Patil can I have a word with Hermione" Parvati nodded and walked out.
"How was the first night?" He asked while sitting in one of her chairs.
"Went well, he was quiet and kept to himself, didn't disturb anyone"
"That's good to here, Dumbledore found out and was quite shocked himself, and Snape was happy too, he himself is a spy and was glad to see Draco choosing the right path"
"Well it's shocking" Hermione smiled.
"It is isn't it?"
"I hope everything can get settled down and he can return to his life and hopefully change it to a happy life"
"I am sure he will, well keep on top, you're doing a good job" Fudge said and walked out. Hermione watched him leave and then pulled out the picture from Draco's folder. She stared at it, she stole his folder, didn't return it.
Ron woke up feeling Mina's kisses. Ron jumped up and looked around.
"Don't worry everyone is gone"
"Yes but that asshole is up stairs"
"I don't think you need to worry about him"
She kissed him and started unbuttoning his shirt and kissing his chest, soon all the clothes were off and it was serious body moving happening.
Harry was on his way to visit Sirius and was dropping Ginny off at Subway. The car was silent, both recalculating the events from the previous night.
"I can't believe all of this is happening" she said breaking the silence.
He looked at her, and saw such an amazingly beautiful woman. She smiled at him and made him go a little weak. He started breathing heavier and turned his attention back to the road.
"Are you ok?" she asked touching his head.
"I'm fine don't touch me" he snapped her away causing her to jump.
The rest of the ride was quiet. He pulled into Subway, she got out didn't say goodbye or anything just slammed the door and walked inside.
Hermione was working on paper work when a knock came to the door.
"Come in" she called, when she looked up she saw Percy walk in.
"Oh great" she muttered under her breath.
"I hear that Mr. Malfoy is staying with you" he snapped.
"Yes" she replied setting her quill down and looking at him.
"Why your house?" he snapped again.
"How should I know, he didn't know we lived there, he just showed up"
"Seems odd to me"
"Ya well it's not your decision now is it"
He glared at her "what does my brother think about this arrangement?"
"He didn't like it but he obliged" she picked up her quill and began to write some more.
"Insane" he muttered under his breath making her look up.
"What was that?"
"Nothing, I just think you have the hots for him and don't care if he is set out to kill you"
"Ok, let's leave shall we" she stood pushing Percy out and slammed her door.
She walked back to her desk and continued her work.
Ron looked down at Mina "I have to ask Hermione marriage" he said and kissed her nose.
"Why?"
"I have to, Hermione thinks that"
"I can't do this anymore if you ask her to marriage"
"Why?" he asked hoarsely.
"Because, I don't want to be your second hand slut,"
"Your not you're my first priority, I will break it off with Hermione somehow, I haven't even had sex with her in two months"
Mina frowned "I had sex with Harry last night"
Ron looked disappointedly at the ground.
"But you're my first" she kissed his cheek and got on top of him.
Harry finally reached Sirius's house, he knocked on the door and stepped inside when Sirius opened the door grinning.
"Come in Harry sit down, how was the first night with him at the house?"
"It was ok, he was really quiet"
"That's good"
"Are you ok, you seem happier?"
"I do have something to tell you Harry"
Harry raised his eyebrows "really, what?"
"Well it doesn't come so easy but, I went to school with Narcrissa Malfoy, and we dated and I fell in love with her"
"I am sorry for that one" Harry joked.
"I am being serious"
"Sorry, what does this have to do with anything?"
"I am in love with her still"
Ginny frowned while she made sandwiches, 'why is Harry so mean to me?' she thought while still frowning. The muggle girls ordering were laughing at her. She didn't mind, she was used to being laughed at.
"Your total is 15.97" Ginny snapped at the girls.
The blonde girl laughed and pulled out a twenty, Ginny glared and worked the cashing machine.
The girls kept giggling and Ginny handed her change "5.03 is your change thank you for coming to Subway" she faked a smiled and walked over to the next customer.
Hermione stared at the phone; 'should I call and talk to Draco?' she contemplated things over in her brain and then decided not to. She looked at her watch 4:32 only three more hours.
"Great" she picked up papers she had looked over at least one hundred times and did it again.
"Why didn't you tell me you loved her earlier?"
"I couldn't, but don't worry, now that Draco is free we are going to get Narcrissa and Tina out"
"Tina, who is Tina?" Harry asked.
"Draco's three year old sister"
"I thought Draco was an only child,"
"Unexpected birth" Sirius smiled.
"You really love her?"
"Oh course I do, I never have stopped"
"I have to tell you this little crisis that I am going through" Harry stood and paced.
"What is it?"
"Well I love Mina, I love her so much but, I can't stop thinking of Ginny, I keep thinking I made this wrong mistake and I can't get over it"
"Why don't you tell her how you feel?"
"I can't Mina" he snapped.
"Tell Mina your differences"
"She'd be too crushed, she loved me too much, and if I ever cheated on her she would hate me, she is so loyal to me (boy is he wrong) I couldn't bare the pain I'd put her through"
"If you honestly love Ginny time will soon tell"
"Thanks, I better get back"
"Thank you for hearing me out...again" he laughed and hugged Harry.
"Next time bring Ginny" he laughed and watched Harry walk to the car.
"Don't worry I will, I need to pick her up from work so, I will see you later"
Harry got in the car and drove back to subway.
Ginny waited outside for Harry, the same girls from earlier walked out and started giggling but stopped when Harry pulled up in a mustang (what the hell) to pick her up. Their mouths dropped and Ginny smirked and got in the car.
Harry looked at her and smiled "what are you so happy about?"
"Those girls have been making fun of me all day,"
Harry didn't look but kissed Ginny on the cheek and drove off. Blowing the car exhaust on them.
Ginny smile didn't fade until they got to the house. It was the same as the night before, the house was clean and dinner was cooking.
"How was your day?" Harry asked kissing Mina.
"Good"
"Did he come down?" Ginny asked.
"Nope, I think he has been sleeping all day" Ron said.
"You would too if you were beaten and ran for miles" Mina snapped at im.
"Probably" Ron laughed and sat food down on the table.
And hour later Hermione arrived "sorry I got caught up in some work, had to stay late"
"We ate without you" Ron teased
"Thanks" she said sarcastically.
"No we didn't sit down" she sat and looked around.
"He is still sleeping" Harry said knowing what she was about to ask.
"Has he come down at all?"
"Nope"
"Hmm" Hermione shrugged and started eating her food.
Three days later.
It was Hermione's day off, Draco still hadn't woken. Harry and Mina left to visit Sirius; she went because Hermione and Ginny would be staying home. Hermione paced around the front of her door.
'How could someone sleep that long?' everyday and night she peeked her head in to see if he was still in there, she watched him sleep then would go back down stairs. 'Oh god what if he is dead' Hermione walked into her room and over to the edge of the bed. His chest was rising and falling.
She sighed in relief and sat on the bed watching him. She would have found it uncomfortable if she woke with him staring at her so she shook him up.
"Draco wake up" after a couple of pushes his eyes fluttered opened.
He looked around trying to remember his surrounding and then every piece came together.
"Hey" he said hoarsely closing his eyes.
"How are you feeling?" Hermione asked.
"Like shit, I need a bath, and I am starving"
"Well I'll go fill up the tub and cook you some dinner"
He opened his eyes "thank you"
"Your welcome" she smiled and walked into the bathroom.
She turned the faucet water warm/hot and then grabbed a towel then turning stopping dead in her tracks dropping the towel.
Draco stood Naked "what?" he asked while scratching the back of his head.
"N.No.Nothing" she replied while bending down and picking up the towel. She closed her eyes and stood, knowing he was inches from her.
She opened her eyes and looked at his face "here is your towel"
"Thanks, could you leave so I could.you know" she nodded and walked out. When she reached the outside of her room she leaned against the door jaw dropped. Her face then cracked into a smile, oh how Parvati would be jealous.
She walked down the stairs passing the living room where everyone was watching The Lord of the Rings. She walked into the kitchen and started cooking a steak, and fried up some veggies.
Ron walked in "mmm" and wrapped arms around her waist. She smiled as she stirred the food in the pan.
"What are you cooking?" he kissed her neck.
"Draco's dinner" he stopped kissing her and pulled away.
She turned and looked at him questionably.
"He is up"
She nodded, "he'll probably finish his bath, eat, and then sleep, and he looks dreadfully tired"
"Well you are such a sweetheart, always there to help others," she smiled and kissed him but he pulled away.
"What was that for?" she asked.
"I have to talk to you about really important things later ok?"
"Ok" she nodded and turned back to the food.
When it was finished she poured him some coke and smirked 'he's probably never tried it' and walked up the stairs with the food, salt and pepper, and steak sauce on a tray. She knocked with her foot and heard him call 'come in'
She carefully opened the door and walked in, seeing him in bed again.
"Wow" he smiled and rubbed is hands together.
She set it down on his lap and then watched him.
"I think you outdid yourself"
"Nah, you need a good meal after what you've been through"
He smiled "thanks"
She returned it and continued to watch him.
"What is this?" he said holding up the steak sauce.
"It helps add to the flavor of the steak" he nodded and poured a little on the side of his plate, just the way she did.
He cut the steak and dipped it in the sauce then placed it in his mouth. He smiled and chewed it up. He reached for the coke and took a drink.
"What is that?" he looked at it disgustingly.
"Its coke, a muggle drink" he shrugged and set it down.
"You know its weird having someone watch you eat" he said smiling but not looking up at her.
"Sorry" she stood.
"No stay" he looked up and she sat back down.
"So how long have you lived here?" he asked not looking up.
"Um about a year and a half"
He raised his eyebrows "wow"
"You're so much different than what I thought" she stared at his features.
"People just don't get me that's all" he said still not looking up at her. She had a penetrating glance, he didn't like it.
"My boyfriend doesn't get me"
He stopped cutting his meat and winced his eyes then looked at her.
"Since when do you have a boyfriend?" he said coldly.
"Since four years"
"And who would that be?"
"Ron" she whispered and looked down but he heard.
He looked at her for a little longer then looked back down.
"They never do, do they?" he said continually cutting his meat.
She looked up at him surprisingly, he didn't insult her.
"Do you guys fuck?" he asked then scrunched his face, 'shouldn't have said that' he thought.
"I am sorry, I didn't mean to ask, or say it like that but when your used to being like that" he looked down cursing himself in his head.
"Its ok, I will come back up in a little while to get your plate" she stood and walked out. He watched her "stupid idiot" he cursed himself.
.
The next day at work Hermione was leaning on the counter while Parvati was filling out something.
"I just realized yesterday I haven't had sex in two months" Hermione said causing Parvati to look up and a few other workers to spit out their coffee.
"What made you think of that?"
"Draco"
Parvati smiled wickedly "did he kiss you or something?"
"No, I was talking to him and I told about me and Ron and then he asked do you guys fuck, then said sorry right afterwards, I got offended but didn't say anything just walked down stairs and finished watching the movie with the crew, but thought about sex the whole time"
"Why haven't you?" she said looking back down and continuing to fill it out.
"I don't know" she shook her head.
"You guys are just too busy and with Draco in your room it makes it harder"
"Yah" she said and continued to lean on the counter.
Draco woke he looked at the clock 7:45, he slept all day. He looked at the dresser his plate was still on it. 'She must be pissed' she thought.
She knocked on the door and poked her head in.
"How are you feeling?"
"Good, listen sorry about last night" he sat up and stood out of the bed walking over to her in his "boxers"
She stopped walking and faced him.
"Your fine, I was just too tired to get your plates last night"
He nodded his head "I need a shower" he said and walked into the bathroom.
"Come down for dinner when your ready" she called.
"Ok" he called back.
She grabbed his plates and walked down the stairs and too the kitchen.
The doorbell rang; Ginny walked over and opened it.
"Mum, dad what are you doing here?" Hermione heard Ginny say 'o god no not Ron's parents' Hermione thought while putting on a fake smile and walking into the living room.
A/N: Wow a long chapter, anyways, what will happen when Ron's parents see Draco? And was that jealousy Draco had when found out Hermione had a boyfriend? Story unfolds!
