Chapter 4: Mrs. Malfoy

################################################################################################

The next day they were both back in classes. Once again Draco sat with Griffindor. Professor Mc Gonagall Walked up to Draco towards the end of lunch. "Mister Malfoy your mother is here. She is in my class room and you wont be bothered. I don't have a class for about an hour and a half." "Thank you Professor."

Draco got up and walked out of the Great Hall to Professor Mc Gonagall's class room. Draco's mom would have been attractive if it hadnt been for her icy silver eyes and the cold heart she had. "Hello mum." "Hello."

She said as she was checking her nails. "I need to know what happened." Draco said with a hint of anger in his voice. "Oh...yes I forgot. your father was as you know trying to bring Our Lord back to us. He found a way. He didnt tell me what it was but he was very happy about it." "He's Not My Lord!" Draco yelled heat and fire in his voice. "Dont be silly dear." She blew him off. "Any how, some of your fathers old friends, X- death eaters found out. Well I know who they were but the strange thing is how after our Lord left us the first time they

dissapeared. Then they found out what your father was trying to do and came back to kill him. They left again and some of us believe they changed their names and identity and started living in the muggle world. Posing as mudbloods for heaven sake." "Who are they?" Draco asked solemnly. "Back when we knew them they were known as The Grottens family." Draco got up and with out saying a word he left.

Draco zombied thru the reat of his classes that day and he didnt go to dinner. Worried Hermione went to their tower. She found him sitting cross-legged in front of the fire in the common room. Hermione sat next to him on the floor. "I brought you some dinner." "Thanks you know 'Mione you are a realy good friend. My father...well... him and I never saw eye to eye on any thing. We couldnt stand eachother. But he was still my father and even that I dont agree with the reason he gave his life for. I still want to kill the people who murdered him." "Every thing will be okay. We will figure out who it was. You have Me , Harry and Ron. We are good at solving things." She gave him a week smile. He smiled back. She leaned over and gave him a hug. They stayed like that for at least ten miniutes. Hermione pulled back first. "Well we need to get to bed." She said.

That night they slept in her bed doing nothing but holding eachother all night. Draco couldnt concentrate for the next week durring clases, he would fall asleep. At meals he would pick at his food and couldnt eat. Durring the night he couldnt sleep. Unfortunately him and Hermione had a meeting that night after dinner with Dumbledore. Hermione had been picking up the slack in Draco's head boy duties. They walked up to Dumbledore's office together.

"Come sit down." He said "Well first off how are things going with your duties?" "Oh they are just fine Professor." Hermione said "Yes, well I understand that you have been helping Mister Malfoy with his duties?"

"Oh let me explain." She said "Ahh, no need to my dear. I understand how your helping him is giving him some much needed time to sort thru his feelings. That is why, Mister Malfoy, I am giving you both a long weekend so you can finish figuring things out. Please go camping or something and take some of your friends with you, Mister Potter, Mister Weasly perhaps. I will handle all your teachers. Let me know who you are taking and be back wednessday please." "Thank you Professor." Draco said and walked out the door. "Miss Granger?" "Yes Professor?" "Do me a favor and take Miss Voorollaye. You might just find out something that is very helpfull."

"Okay Professor." Hermione agreed then walked out the door. What information could Jenna have that would be helpfull? Hermione wondered to herself. Just then she ran right into Draco at the bottom of the stairs. "What else did he want?" Draco asked "Oh he just asked me if we could take Jenna with us." "Oh okay. Well you go to Griffindor and tell Harry, Ron, Genny and Jenna. I will start packing and go to the kitchens for some food and supplies for the trip."

Hermione ran up the stairs to Griffindor. She found Harry, Ron and Genny in the common room. "Hey guys!

How would you like to go on a little trip?" "What do you mean?" Harry asked Hermione told him about what was going on with Draco and how he needed a break. "Any how Professor Dumbledore told us to invite you guys. What do you think? It could be fun huh?" "Yeah okay." Harry said Harry and Genny ran up the two stair cases to pack their stuff. Ron was still standing there. "What is it Ron?" "Well...its just...Do you think we can invite Fred and George to come they are always complaining about not getting to go any where or do any thing fun?" "I suppose so.""Realy, Great they will be so happy." "Okay well tell them to meet us in the clearing of the Sagwea

Woods." Ron ran out the portrat hole to send an owl to them.

Hermione walked up the stair case to the girl's dorms to ask Jenna if she wanted to go with them. She found her sitting at a desk reading a book. "Hey Jenna?" Jenna turned and looked at her. "Yeah?" "Well I was wondering, we are going on a camping trip this weekend. Would you like to come with us?" Hermione watched Jennas face as it went from totally bored and unhappy to bursting with energy and as happy as could be.

"Can I realy go with you?" Of course you can. It will be fun." "Hermione its just that, I haven't had friends Before." Her face going back to being nervous. "Didnt you have friends at your old school?" "I didn't go to school. I lived with my grandmother she taught me." Hermione didn't know what to say. "Well common' then lets get you packed." Hermione walked over to Genny "Why dont you, Jenna and the boys meet Draco and I at the Three Broomsticks?" Hermione then left to tell Dumbledore who was going. He gave her a small map of Hogsmead and surrounding areas. Hermione was off and packing her own things for the trip.
