Draco walked Hermione back to their dorm, trying to get her to tell him what happened. She didn't say anything, just looked ahead and walked tall. He pace was quick, and once she was inside the head's common toom,s he ran up the stairs to her room and locked the door. She grabbed her pajama's and walked to the fireplace. Grabbing a hand full of floo powder, she yelled, "Brent's!"
Draco walked in just as she said this, and wondered where the hells she went, and knew that he had to follow.

Serenity entered Dumbledore's office right after he had finished dealing with Zabini. The boy sulked away from her, and once past, he sprinted away. Serenity walked in straight into Dumbledore's private chamber. She plopped on the couch, slouched, trying to relax.
"Sere, how nice to see you."
"Albus... she needs to know. I can't keep not telling her. When I yelled at her, yes, you heard me, I wanted to call myself stupid. Since when did I take being Aleva-Reia so seriously? She has to know, no matter what the Aleva-Cri says."
Albus shook his head, sitting in an over stuffed chair. "Sere, you and I know Mother Fire doesn't take kindly to any change in plans."
"I don't care."
"You could lose your position."
"I've a lost my sister once, to that muggle woman who calls herself my mother. I won't lose her to the Aleva. I know how they work." She ran her hands through her hair, and unbuttoned her long vest, the blouse underneath thinner and lighter, allowing he to be more comfortable. "I don't want to be the Cri. It is just one more way to be tied down. I won't let them plan her life for her."
"You already have. However, plans can be broken. That is why we pushed her to Malfoy, isn't it?"
Serenity smiled. "Yeah, that and I wanted Lucius to see he doesn't control shit any more." She covered her mouth when she swore. "I can't live without the Aleva, but I want her to have more of a choice than I had."
"well, you could always teach here."
"Albus... that's inviting Cri to try and take over Hogwarts, and I want her as far away from here as possible. She's got some nutty plans for some of these kids who's parents are apart of the Aleva. She was so mad when Molly Weasley told her that no one was planning the lives of the Weasley batch. How are they, by the way? I know the youngest two are friends with Harry and Hermione."
"Good, good." He smiled at her; glad she was acting like herself and not the Aleva-Reia. "I will have some one call her here tonight. I will tell her. That way, she has a bit to cool off."
"What if..."
"Do you trust me?"
"Sometimes, Albus, other times..."
"Well, trust me on this. She will be just like you... and when it does happen, she will have more support than we could give you."

While Serenity was still there, Dumbledore sent an elf to get Hermione, but when the elf returned, it reported both Hermione and Mr. Draco Malfoy gone.
