Chapter 9

Ignominious

**************************************************************************** ***************

Hermione felt nothing else but her hands moving towards Draco's hand. She clutched it though reluctant. "Draco, are you okay? This mustn't be good. We couldn't let this happen! Wade can't go against you"

"Now, now Hermione. I'm all right. We just have to figure things out that Wade wouldn't be able to use his unknown powers that could benefit Lucius. I suggest that we train him and educate him before he grows too curious to explore his powers on his own"

"I reckon we need Dumbeldore's help with this one. He would know what to do"

"I beg to differ. I know that the headmaster is wise and he'll always be but I think that bringing two opposite forces together will only add to the tension between them. I as much fear for my own son but for now, we have to take the situation in our hands"

Draco's head lowered in dismay. He never wanted that things went that way. He felt that Hermione held tighter onto his hand.

"Tell me how come Wade has evil powers. It can't be true. . I mean, as far as I've known you, you haven't any of the powers that Wade seem to possess at this age. You must have acquired them from the Dark Side but how could it have come out that Wade could be more evil than you are? You know what I mean Draco. I need answers right now. This is our child we're talking about"

Draco promptly nodded and said, "It must have been caused by the fact that both his parents are wizards and that the full power of the past Dark Lord has only been fully inherited by Wade and not by any one in our generation. It must be some kind of a curse that we are bound together and you know well that the Dark Side was never happy when they knew we were wed. And we have to be careful now. We have to look after him every second and not give Lucius a chance to get any near Wade"

"What else can be done?" asked Hermione with still a worried look plastered on her face.

"I'm afraid we have to move to another place"

"Where?"

"In one of my secret hide-outs. It's my rest house back at East Asia. I swear that Lucius doesn't know about that one"

"You have another place there? Tell me Draco, how many do you have?"

"I've to stay humble and keep that fact to myself", Draco said in a matter- of-afct tone but never missing on being a true gentleman.

Hermione slapped Draco's hand and said, "Come on! As if I don't have the right to know!"

"Okay, okay. At last count, I have four rest houses and another mansion in the United States. But I tell you Hermione, if Lucius persists that he finds our son, we could forever move to another place and have no other place that we could hide at "

Hermione's eyes grew wide at the number of Draco's unknown properties. She knew that the Malfoy's were rich, but she never expected that they were THAT wealthy. "Okay, mister, how many digits EXACTLY could I find from your bank account? You seem not to be at loss for the money"

"You mean OUR bank account", said Draco to put Hermione's statement right. He wanted Hermione to realize that they were still together, and was together, and that whatever he has, is Hermione's and Wade's as well.

"Uh, yeah"

Draco leant onto Hermione's ear and whispered the amount.

"WHAT?! How could that amount fit into Gringott's?"

"Well, some of them are in different international muggle banks. I had some problem sorting the money out before but was able to manage them after distributing it to about 19 different banks worldwide"

"You're just an airhead!" teased Hermione when a little kid came storming out with a load of food in front of him, all wrapped in the constraints of his short arms.

"Mum! See what I've got! There's loads of soda to choose from and here's some chocolate bar and some other cold stuff that Father had plenty and I saw some chocolate-coated marshmallow at the bottom but I couldn't carry them anymore", said Wade in pride that he was ableto send his parents something to eat.

The couple smiled at the child and Draco said, "Hey little boy, want to go for some traveling?"

"Yeah! Where are we going?" asked Wade excitedly as he quickly placed the stuff he's got on the table and towards Draco where he stood and clutched Draco's pants in his grasp.

"We're heading straight to Japan. I heard there's Disneyland Tokyo to visit"

Draco gave Wade a sincere smile and he was surprised that Wade immediately took his arms around his neck. Draco was about to move away but he felt nothing. . . there wasn't any electricity that was emitted between them. Just the thought somehow lessened their impending doom.

Wade pulled away and responded, "Really? Father, is their Mickey Mouse chinky-eyed? Our teacher said that Japanese has little chinky eyes like Chinese have but they are different. Yeah, she told us that but I didn't understand. When are we going?"

"In a while. You ready yourself then in an hour we're heading to the airport"

"Wow! I'm going to ride a real airplane! Mum! We're going to Japan! I'm so excited!"

Wade rushed back to the pony that was resting quietly by a shrub.

Hermione's eyes stayed put on Draco. "We're leaving in an hour? How were you able to manage that?"

"I believe that I'm a wizard and I could do as I please"

Hermione smirked before Draco could have and spat, "We don't have the tickets yet and Wade's papers?"

"Don't worry dear. That's what a phone call is for. If you'll excuse me, I have to go back in and make one"

Before Draco could have gone much farther away from Hermione, he felt an arm circle around his own.

"I'll go in with you", said Hermione nervously.

"Why? Love, I could manage. It's just a phone call to my friend"

"No Draco. I have to make a call as well"

"For whom?"

"Harry. I have to tell him we're leaving"

**************************************************************************** ****************

Hermione's hand was extended an arm away with the receiver at her grasp. At the end of the phone, both Draco and Hermione heard Harry yelling furiously at the other end.

Hermione led the receiver back to her ear. "I know Harry. It's very short notice but I already told you why we have to stay away for a while. I'm really sorry Harry. It's Wade we're worried about"

"I know that Mione but could you just consider this all over again? Malfoy's sending you miles away from England and you don't know if he's really changed or not. I don't want to dishearten you over the matter of Wade's safety but know that I'm worried as well. I reckon it's be better if us three look after him here in England", said Harry over the phone.

"An d have Lucius near us? Harry, I'm sure you have an idea what Wade could do soon. I told you what he's done and what he naturally possesses. It could add be added as fact that there was you who looked after Wade's formative years that attracted opposite forces to him. I'll update you every now and then when we're off"

"Okay Hermione. I think that I couldn't hold you back anymore. Just take care of yourself and Wade. Just call me if ever you need help. Update me alright? I'll be right here"

"Thanks Harry. This means a lot to me. And will you just take care too? Don't go having an eating-spree on the sweets. You know it's bad for you, you know, sugar rush. I love you Harry, do be on the watch for Lucius as well. Don't inform my parents about our whereabouts. I'll call them. If they insist, explain to them why you can't go telling them where we are. Lucius must have a way of tapping through the line"

"No problem love. Um, Mione, could you hand the phone to Malfoy?"

"Why?"

"Just gonna tell him something that's all. Don't worry"

"Okay. Just be good Harry. Will you? I'll be back"

Hermione took the earpiece away from her and extended it to Draco. Draco was caught surprised nonetheless took it in his hand.

"Yes Potter?" asked Draco in curiosity.

"Please look after them while you're away. Make sure they're safe at all times. I'm sorry for Wade. It must really be a huge trouble now that we know what he's capable of doing"

"I know"

Hermione had a stern look in her face. She was anxious to know what the two were talking about.

"Okay, Draco, I entrust you to them. Make up for the time you've missed before. Make it right this time. By all means, don't make a blink. Don't lose sight of them at any chance. You have my trust on this. If anything worse happens, I'll be just here. Give me call, will you?"

"Don't worry Potter. I will"

Draco put the headset back down and Hermione immediately stood beside him.

"What did he say?" inquired Hermione at once.

"Things that I've planned of long before. . ." Draco smiled and then put a loving kiss on Hermione's forehead. "I love you Hermione. Thank you for trusting me with this"

Hermione reciprocated with a kiss on the lips. "I've always had"

**************************************************************************** ****************

Three days passed and Draco, Hermione, along with Wade, were able to arrive safely at Japan and have been able to find some time to make themselves at ease with the place. It's been long since Draco went there and the house elves were more than anxious to see their Master back.

It was only then that Lucius was informed that Draco and his family were not at his mansion anymore.

"Well, well, well. My son has grown very smart, I'd say. He knows me too well that I'll be after them soon. It's a great mistake that they've gone away from this place. Maybe a little threat of a friend would make them come back perhaps?" said Lucius evily to himself, as his men were close at watch before him in the Malfoy manor.

Crabbe, the father of Draco's crony spoke at once, "What do you mean Lucius? Anything in mind at the moment?"

"Oh you don't know that everything's planned perfectly in my head now Crabbe. All we got to do is think of a person very close to them to use as bait. Let's give the family some time to enjoy themselves. Say, two weeks perhaps? In that span of two weeks, we're going to kidnap a common friend and persecute the victim. After that two weeks, that's when we'll start to threat the person to spill everything that he knows about Draco and where he is at right now"

"So you mean, we're going to capture Potter? He's the only one who must know of their wherabouts"

"Maybe, not Potter. He's got a clue I suppose but you see, Potter will play the hero again and be that martyr by not telling anything. He always does that, that filthy Harry Potter! This time, I'm planning on someone close to the happy trio living in who-knows-where who will be most vulnerable to spilling. . . someone who's weak. Loyal, but nevertheless weak to give up not telling"

"And who do you reckon is that?"

"A little girl named Virginia Weasley. . ."

Lucius evil smirk flashed and everyone else in the room laughed evilly that it echoed horribly inside the huge room where they were in.

**************************************************************************** ****************

"Hermione, as much as I don't want to think negative about it but I know Lucius already found out that we've gone into hiding. We must expect anything to come soon. If worde come to worse, we're off to another plane and on to Italy", mouthed Draco as they both sat inside the temple-like residence that they resided in.

The place was very spacious and quiet. Beautiful cherry blossoms bloomed out at the windows and the fallen leaves hustled silently over the ground.

"Italy? But Draco, we're going to get near UK again? Isn't that another threat?"

"But we have to mislead Lucius. He might think that we've gone farther and farther from England so we'll move back near and get farther the next, by chance that he finds out of the place again"

Hermione sighed. It seemed to her that their lives wouldn't end with just resting at one place. They were obliged to acknowledge that they were to move to another place anytime. "Alright. Lucius practically left us with no other choice but to keep on hiding. Draco, won't you just go buy a spacecraft and we'll zoom into space? Maybe Lucius won't find us there." Hermione wasn't able to help it but frown. Japan was a great place but her nerves were killing her. They both needed to be on the lookout all the time.

"You want me to buy one?" asked Draco rather innocently. He was serious of considering buying one if Hermione gave enough reason.

Hermione laughed at once. The silence that won over the entire place was broken by Hermione's hearty laughs. "Come on Draco! I was kidding you know!"

"Nice one Granger", spat Draco.

"I know you've the means to purchase one Draco, but you should have known that I merely said that as I'm very much desperate to have Lucius out of our way so that we won't have to worry this much anymore"

"I know what you mean love. Exactly that that I'm feeling right now"

Draco stood from where they sat and Hermione witnessed how magnificent Draco looked even in a man's kimono. Hermione stifled a laugh while Draco gave her the questioning look.

"What's funny?"

"Draco, you must see yourself in the mirror. You look funny in your outfit!"

Draco shot a death glare at Hermione. "Really now. . ." said Draco sarcastically. He pushed his free hair back and said, "Well I guess I'll just wear my usual clothes then"

Draco was about to go to their room when Hermione removed herself from the floor and led herself to where Draco was. She held her hand over Draco's shoulder to stop him from going any further.

"Love, I was kidding. You do look great in your outfit"

"Lame muggle jokes. . ."

"Come on Draco, have some humor in you!"

Hermione kissed Draco briefly on the lips and took distance. She was supposed to look at Draco more closely only to find herself locked in Draco's loving gaze.

"I, I---Hermione, you look wonderful. You've always looked as beautiful as you were back at Hogwarts. . ."

Hermione blushed profusely. There they were, in a land where they were strangers as they donned seemingly outfits, strangers to themselves.

Draco stared at the woman she loved from head to toe. He wanted to make sure she knew every inch of her. He noticed how beautiful Hermione's eyes appeared with the color of her kimono and by the way some of her stray hair fell on her face while the rest was up in a bun.

Draco leaned in for another kiss and made the kiss deeper. Hermione returned the amorous kiss generously and led har warm palm over to Draco's smooth neck up to his perfectly pale skin on his cheek. Draco was also up for exploring more of Hermione that his hands wasted no time in caressing over the clothing that obstructed Draco' view from seeing the body he long missed for years.

Moments had passed and they were nearly up to removing the other's clothes when they heard a helpless wail from outside. Both Draco and Hermione shot their glances out the wooden sliding door. Hermione's heart started to beat faster while Draco was caught surprised and was still unaware of what to do.

Draco then ran out of the place to the grounds and saw Wade on the earth crying.

"WADE!. . ."

Lol. The ever-trusty CLIFFIE!

Hang on to the next chapter and see what happened with Wade. I know a lot of you have this thing for Wade being the cute child that he is [let me just say simply that I do like the actor that plays Draco in the movies and by chance he's got a son, it would definitely look good as well. Lmfao]

Tell me your mind about this fic. If you've got anything to suggest before I carry on the next chapter, please send them in. I would like to know your suggestions, comments, and just everything!

I will most probably answer you reviews in the next installment. A huge thanks goes to those who were kind to drop me review!

Thanks! And oh, REVIEW!

Smile y'all!

Here are my replies to all your reviews from first chapter down to the latest. ! Thanks for helping me in making the story!

[Priah : No, you wouldn't call Harry abusive. I guess it's but normal to have them fight over the matter as I guess it would be really hard to have a child that is not yours is around. Harry does love Wade, but of course it's like a curse for him not to have a kid with the woman she loved all his life. The squeeze was just to make it through that Wade was not yet to know anything about his real identity and of course, the threat of having Draco around was all he considered so I guess that's why he squeezed Hermione as he wanted to get them away from that place as soon as he could]

[Alexandra Trent : I agree with you on that. That's why I had to make Harry a bit OOC (but you'll never know if he's like that or worse). I'm trying to get enough inspiration to keep on writing. I wouldn't be able to update every so often as I've got loads to do aside from doing this]

[crmsnhrtbr : lol]

[wildchartermage : if you've been reading the latest chapters, you'll see that Draco has not an intention to hurt Hermione, or Wadee. Harry was just probably crazy about the idea that Draco was back and the fact that he was Dark Lord, he could do anything. And oh, it's envy running though Harry as after years of staying with them , he had to give way to the fact that Draco was back and he'll soon have a huge part of Hermione and Wade's life]

[Draco Amant : I'm glad that you are open to the idea that it could have been Neville. But no, the one who took Hermione and Wade is not Neville}

[SaDiStIk-FrEaK1 : I will! I will!]

[wildchartermage : oh, I must have answered your question yet again. Anyways, I'm just doing this just for the sole purpose of making every point clear from the start. I couldn't remember up to whose review I've been able to answer, so I'm just doing it again just for the heck of it. Besides, I don't want to do any homework yet! Lol]

[fluffy-chan4 : why thank you! Sayonara to you too o-tomodachii!]

[Priah : That's why we have something we call TWISTS. Hermione's a witch, and I know she's supposed to have her wand with her. But the vehicle was hers and of course you wouldn't want anyone to get suspicious why you have a piece of wood with you around. Hermione kept it in the glove compartment of her vehicle and was supposed to get it there as habit but then, Harry just dropped them off in front of their house, and the tension of meeting Draco once more was there, so I guess hse must've gotten the thought of getting her wand out of her mind]

[Soccergirl2044 : I as much would want to update every so often but there's too much load on my sched and I just find time to get on my PC and just add even a chapter of any of my fics]

[Apollonia2 : I'm glad you like the plot. I've put it that way since I think there are way too many plots that have been pretty much sed so I thought of another possibility what could have had happened to them after how many years]

[2 : I am!]

[Smiley664 :I will!]

[Apollonia2 : I agree with yout points. You've been thinking about the plot itself. And oh, I'll try to update very soon]

[dracosluver333 : that's the reason why I put the summaries at the bottom. I know my mind is too far off weird and it's hard to keep up with my mind's pace as I AM weird. So anyway, sometimes I get to miss out on some points like mentioning who's who, as I'm doing a great deal with all of my fics, so I guess that's the reason why I came up with the idea of putting the summaries at the end]

[wilderchartermage : I hope you're not getting tired of waiting for the installments!]

[Kara Black : good night to you too!]

[Befuzzled : Wade is a very important character in the story so I'm glad you've got the sympathy for him. for the first few chapters, I'm up with making you guys feel pity for the kid, but do hold on to the next chapters as even Wade has to evolve from the constraints of his youth. Since Lucius is going to meddle in Draco's affairs much, Wade will end up doing things that is far from what he is by far the chapters has gone]

[Draco_Fan : I as much DracoXHermione pairings. I've been writing almost all my fics in that light. Couldn't really see any other man that could be matched with Hermione. They're two very complicated people so I guess it's just perfect to pait them up! Wade really is a cool name and I just got that from the guy who my friend's crushing on. He's Wade Robson, and he's choreographed some for Justin and N'Sync. In the video POP, he's actually the one taking the place of one of N'Sync as the star was I think injured and so could not dance. Since Mr. Wade Robson choreographed it, he did the part and his face was edited off and replaced by the real pop star. By the way, I must agree to my friend that Robson is quite a cutie!]

[Apollonia2 : Lol. I know what you mean. I made the story that way so that you guys would think something and suddenly prove what you thought wrong the next. Lol. I love doing that amd of course, reading you reviews. I get to read what you guys think by far the story has gone but I laugh it off as I'm the one who really knows the plot and whatever you'll read one time can be totally altered the next. I hope it isn't much confusing. I guess I've been putting much twists in all of my fics]

[Draco_Fan : heehee. I like the way you reacted to Hermione's loss of memory]

[Kara Black : But of course dear. What better way to make things worse than it already was but to attack the present state of the character! Lol]

[HPFantics311 : do I really keep you up for the next chapter? Guys?! Is the story good? Can't believe this. This story's just scratch!]

[wildchartermage : wow. How many reviews have you left me? Thanks SO much!]

[deadnun : thanks]

[Ceres Vesta : genius? You think it is? And that line, "yes, we do have the same same and the same smirk. . . I tell you, you'll b famous for that" was just something to color things up a bit. I tried hard to put myself in Draco's shoes so that his lines woul look natural and I thought that if I was Draco, I was one big airhead but still got that soft spot, so I guess it would have been best to compare myself with my son and say what I think has my points have been so far. And of course, Draco's almost associated with the smirk. Lol]

[Apollonia2 : wow. You review a lot! Anyway, I thought that if Draco really loved Hermione he would have a special link to her so the moment that Hermione and Harry was down with doing the DEED, he fell of the horse and injured himself badly. I hope that the explanation for that is clear within the text. I will continue, don't worry]

[skyleia : you could of course read the first story (or whatever that is). But you see, the chapters are only up to the 19th by far I've gone and the blueprint of that is still with me, and it's 38chapters long. So you see, it would be great idea if you read this one instead as it will take time before I would be able to type everything I've written on pen and paper. Besides, this could stand on its own without rooting itself from ILTSYC. It's just a nice preview as it could show how close Draco and Hermione had been way back at Hogwarts. And thanks for hoping well for my schoolwork. I need all the motivation I could get. I will find time to update often]

[wildchartermage : sad? Lol. I wanted you guys to feel the sorrow in the fic. Lol. Was I successful? Kidding. Love you for the reviews! Keep on]

[lilhpwitch : okay, okay! I won't cut it down! It's just creepy how far I go with typing it at MS Word and just find myself trying ot stretch the story when I'm the middle of it]

[skyleia : I will!]

SO, this is the latest that I've seen from the reviews. I'll keep updating soon when I get the time. Thanks so much fro reviewing!
