I'm so sorry I haven't written! If you've seen Kiki's Delivery Service, it would make sense lol! Sometimes I just can't write for some reason.

Chapter Three: Attacking

Hermione suddenly hugged Draco, look excited. "Really? I'm so relieved!" she said. Draco smiled a little bit. He looked tired. Ron eyed him suspiciously.

"Why should we believe him?" he said. Hermione ignored him.

"Are you alright?" she asked, seeing the state he was in.

"Yes yes, I'm fine. But we've GOT to leave the house!"

"We just got here." growled Ron.

"You don't understand-" Draco started, but Ron interrupted.

"Oh, I understand. You're working for v- Voldemort and you're luring us to him. I bet you did that to my best friend and my sister too." A silence from Draco, who just gave Ron a dirty look, but Hermione made a tutting noise.

"Ron, stop being so-" she paused. "He's here to help us. Plus, he's all we got right now."

"We COULD find them ourselves." Ron muttered.

"Don't move." Draco suddenly said, and he slammed the two of them into the nearby closet.

"OUCH! Hey- what's the big idea? I TOLD you he was going to- OWWWWWWWW!"

"Ron- shut- up." Draco said as they sat practically on top of each other in the small closet. A whooshing sound like a furious wind could be heard from the outside. Crashing noises arose as the house walls and doors were destroyed. Hermione almost screamed as she heard voices and objects breaking, but Draco made her stay quiet with a hand over her mouth.

As the voices grew louder, Hermione squeezed her eyes shut and got ready for the end as the doorknob turned.

"Don't say a word." Draco said so quietly she wondered if Ron heard him.

The door was ripped from its hinges and thrown across the room. The lights had gone out, so Hermione couldn't see a thing when she opened her eyes. She could only see dark figures. She still couldn't see who their attacker was, even when he said, "Lumos!"

She squeezed her eyes shut, but nothing happened. The light hovered in front of them for moments, then the figure turned away and left the room.

Ron was about to whistle from the narrow and surprising escape, when Draco hissed, "Quiet! They're still here you fool!" that shut Ron up.

It seemed like ages until they could finally come out. The mysterious figures left the house in its destroyed state. Hermione looked at it with tears in her eyes as Draco stood up, his wand out, and brushed the dust off his robes.

Ron put his hands on Hermione's shoulders. "I'm sorry." He said. Hermione wiped away her tears, hugging Ron.

"I hope we make it through this. I hope we live to see our child again."

"Me too." He said, kissing her and patting her on the back. Draco stood, watching them, his eyes stiff. They weren't like Ron remembered them. That scared him.

"Come on." He said harshly as he walked over the door ruins. The husband nd wife glanced at each other, and followed.
