'miss granger, mr malfoy.' sonny was wearing an odd outfit this time; a pair of maroon pants and a bright yellow dress shirt. hermione smiled in spite of herself. 'come. we have much to discuss.'
he led them to the hotel's restaurant, guiding them to a booth in the corner. draco and hermione sat awkwardly across from sonny. hermione put her hands in her lap, but slowly, slow enough that sonny didn't notice, slid her hand to draco's knee, massaging it slightly. draco smiled as hermione's hand stroked his leg casually.
'so, what's going on?' hermione asked as she rubbed draco's leg.
'luna wanted me to give you these papers,' sonny said simply. he turned his head to search inside his black suitcase, and hermione carefully slid herself closer to draco, so as to make the arm extension less noticable. draco dropped one hand beneath the table, brushing it against hermione's, linking their fingers together. sonny tossed the paper across the table. draco lifted it up, raising it to his eyes.
it read --
malfoy and granger,
you MUST find the Glass within the next 72 hours. a reliable source has told us that the thief of the Glass will be using it to change the past at precisely 12.00 am in 3 days time. piece it all together. figure it all out. trust your instincts. get to work.
sincerely,
luna lovegood
'so this is real,' hermione said softly. she had squeezed draco's hand tightly as they read luna's words, before pulling her hand away and rubbing it across her forehead. 'what are we supposed to do about it, sonny? we have no clue what's going on. we haven't really found anything important out.'
sonny glanced around the room nervously, and then leaned forward. 'think about it,' he said quietly, urgently. 'meet me here when it's dark.' sonny took out a small piece of paper with an address on it. 'don't show anyone, don't ask luna if it's ok. i have things i need to tell you.' sonny passed the post-it note across the table. draco tucked it into his pocket as sonny stood up.
'where are you going?' hermione asked sonny.
'i can't stay. i'm sorry. i'll explain everything when i next see you.' draco and hermione nodded, glancing at each other. 'don't lose that paper. and don't let anyone see it.'
sonny spun on his heel and disappeared.
hermione turned to draco, her brow furrowed. 'why wouldn't he want luna to know? what's going on? shouldn't luna know? shouldn't she know what he's telling us to do.'
and in that moment, draco knew. he couldn't explain it, or rather, he didn't want to explain it.
he stared into hermione's innocent eyes.
everything he had dreaded would happen ... was happening. all the pieces were falling into place.
she still didn't know.
how could he tell her the truth?
a/n: sorry. i really needed to leave this as a cliffhanger. i'll post part eight as soon as i can. and hermione will be explained, as well as what she doesn't know.
