Chapter 14
"What do you mean, he's gone?" Draco looked over at Hermione, both were very nervous.
"He's gone, he stormed into the common room earlier and went to his room. He didn't talk to anyone. After a few hours we all just figured he went to bed. Then just a few minutes ago, he came out with all of his things and walked out. He looked so angry! I followed him, but he didn't know. I watched him walk out the front doors and head down towards Hogsmeade.
Draco and Hermione stared at the young boy, both in shock. He looked at Hermione, "Go wake McGonagall, tell her what's happened. Farnsworth come with me."
The next morning, the Great Hall was full of buzz. Everyone had heard about the disappearance of Billy Flint. Hermione watched from her seat as the students talked and whispered to each other. Occasionally, they would point up at her and Draco.
"I don't like this, I don't like this at all," she murmured as she poked at her eggs.
"He'll show up, he is just upset."
"But, what if he hurts someone. What if he comes after us?"
Draco shook his head, "He won't do that, he is not the smartest kid, but he is smart enough to not attack us. He is not his brother. We told him the truth, and he knows it. He just needs to let off some steam."
They walked out of the Great Hall together. The doors to the castle flung open and Hagrid stormed in, followed by Billy Flint who was carrying his school trunk behind him.
"BILLY!!" A girl from behind them shrieked and ran past them. She wrapped her arms around him and was in tears, "I am so glad your okay!"
He looked relieved to be back in the castle and tried to hide the grin that had formed when he saw the girl. He kissed her on her forehead, "Hey there Sara."
She kissed him and backed away from him. She slapped him hard on his head, "HEY! What's that for? I thought you were happy to see me?"
"William Flint, don't you ever, EVER, do that again!"
Billy smiled and nodded at his girlfriend. His eyes moved from her to Draco and Hermione. Draco moved forward, "Glad to see you've made your way back Mr. Flint."
Billy nodded at Draco, "If you don't mind Professor I would like to get some sleep."
Draco tilted his head, "I am afraid the Headmistress would like to speak with you first, Mr. Flint. I will have some of your classmates take your belongings to your dormitory. Follow me, please," and Draco turned. Billy sighed, kissed his girlfriend one more time and followed him.
When they were out of sight Hermione beckoned some Slytherins to take Billy's things to the dungeons. She began to walk away when the girl that had been kissing Billy spoke to her, "Professor Granger?"
Hermione turned around, "Yes Miss Grant?"
"May I speak with you, privately?"
Hermione looked at the tears in the young girl's eyes, "Miss Grant, I have a class to teach. Can it wait until after?"
The girl walked towards her, "It will be quick, I promise."
"Very well," and Hermione walked the girl to her classroom.
Hermione was ready for an extensive lash out from the young girl, and was surprised to hear what came out of her mouth, "I just want to say, thank you."
"Thank you? What for?" Hermione was confused.
The girl hesitated, "For letting Billy know the truth about his brother. Marcus was a horrible person. Billy always refused to believe all the things that he heard about Marcus. I can tell, looking in his eyes just now. He believes it, he believes whatever you and Professor Malfoy told him last night. That is why he ran off, to put an understanding between him and his brother."
Hermione breathed a sigh of relief, "You can thank Professor Malfoy for that. That is all I will say. If Billy wishes to tell you what he heard last night, it is his choice."
The girl nodded her head and tears formed in her eyes again, "Professor, there is one more thing."
"Yes Miss Grant?"
"Thank you for your work in getting rid of Lord Vol-, You-Know-Who. You did great things. I, I lost my parents during the war. They were killed by two Death Eaters."
Hermione was a bit taken back. "I am sorry to hear that. I lost my parents as well. So," she walked over to the girl and put her hand upon her shoulder, "If you ever need anyone to speak with, I am here."
The girl looked up at Hermione and nodded.
At that moment the doors to the classroom opened and students flowed in, "Here Sara, I grabbed your things," a Slytherin boy handed the girl her school bag, "are you alright?" the boy looked from Sara to Hermoine.
"Yes Greg, fine, come on," the girl smiled at Hermione and went to her seat.
Hermione held back her tears and walked to the head of the classroom, "Okay class, today we will be turning tea pots into finches."
Alright, did you guys like that? I was going to make Billy even more evil and horrible, but I just wasn't ready to write a whole new plot and what not. R&R
