Hermione's first week back at Hogwarts had been great. She was so pleased
to be back, it was Saturday she had decided to go down and have breakfast
early and then go and watch the tryouts for the Gryffindor Quidditch team.
When Hermione was having breakfast the mail arrived. Hermione paid a shabby
looking owl and untied the Daily Prophet from its leg. Once again on the
cover was Lucius but this time it was about his trial.
"Oh yeah. It's his trial today." She whispered to herself. "I hope he is found guilty."
"Hope who's found guilty?" Hermione heard a small voice.
She spun round on her chair to see her best friend, Ginny Weasly.
"Lucius Malfoy." Hermione replied.
"Oh yes, I hope so too."
Hermione and Ginny finished up their breakfast and made their way down to the Quidditch field, Harry and Ron where already they're getting the balls out.
"Harry's the new Gryffindor Captain." Ginny was telling Hermione as they walked up to the stands.
"Well they failed to tell me that." Hermione said, referring to Harry and Ron.
"They wanted it to be a surprise." Ginny explained.
"Well, I was half expecting it but still they should have told me." Hermione said, a little annoyed.
Hermione and Ginny sat and watched the Quidditch team tryout their new players until Hermione got bored and walked back to her dorm. Back in her dorm Draco was sitting in a comfortable chair near the fire. He had an extremely wide grin on his face Hermione was curious as to why he had that smile on his face. He had nothing to smile about apart from being back at Hogwarts but she knew he wasn't smiling about that.
"What are you so happy about?" Hermione snarled, hiding her interest in the matter.
"You'll be happy to know as well, I was at my fathers trial today, he has been found guilty!" Draco said not caring to be rude to Hermione, he was too happy.
A small smile crept across her face but it quickly faded into a confused expression.
"Why are you so happy then your father has just been put into Azkaban?" Hermione confusion growing.
"Exactly, if he's in Azkaban then he can't beat the crap out of me. Gee's Granger, for the top student in the school you can be pretty dumb sometimes." Draco's sarcasm coming back.
Hermione's confusion disappeared, she had heard the rumors that Lucius beat up Malfoy but she never really believed them. It was the kind of thing Lucius would do but not to his own son.
"What's wrong with you, haven't you heard the rumors?" a cold voice came from out of the air and Hermione was pulled out of her thoughts and back into reality.
"Well yes but." Hermione trailed off back into her own thoughts.
"But.?" Draco continued.
"Nothing." Hermione replied disappearing off to her dorm

Hermione was walking down the cold corridors she had decided to go to the library and finish off her Charms essay that was due in two weeks. She thought she saw a figure with blonde hair duck behind a statue but she dismissed it as a student being stupid.
At nine o'clock Hermione packed up her essay and started walking back to her dorm. The corridors where quiet most students would be in their common rooms. When Hermione reached the portrait she said the password and entered. She saw Draco lying crouched up on the floor groaning. Hermione wanted to rush over and check if he was alright. Then she thought 'Come on this is Malfoy. He's probably acting so he can hassle me about coming over to see if he is alright. NO! I'm not going to fall for his trap. I will just ignore his childish behavior.'
"What's wrong with you?" Hermione said, ignoring his groaning which was getting louder.
"Lucius.Escape.Here.....Run.Dumbledore." Draco struggled saying.
Hermione wasn't going to fall for his trap. Lucius couldn't escape from Azkaban. He had to be making it all up, she wasn't going to believe him.
"Hermione." Draco struggled on, ".Run!"
Just then a tall figure emerged from Draco's dorm.
'OH NO!' Hermione thought, 'He was telling the truth!'
Quickly she ducked behind a couch,luckily Lucius hadn't seen her.
"Who where you talking to?" boomed a voice that could only belong to Lucius.
"No one, no one else can get in. Only that mudblood but she's at the library as usual." A small but strong voice replied struggling to keep up the strength.
Hermione could feel Lucius's cold, dark eyes scanning the room and then with that he turned round and headed back up to Draco's dorm to continue searching for what he had been searching for previously.
"RUN!" Draco's voice, stronger than before, whispered.
Hermione being the stubborn witch she is, ran over to Draco and put his arm round her shoulder.
"What are you doing? Run! Get Dumbledore!" Draco whispered, afraid his father might hear and come down to see what was going on.
"NO, I won't leave you here" she whispered.
"You always were stubborn Granger." he smiled.
They were stumbling along, just outside the portrait, when they heard a noise behind them. Quickly turning around Hermione blocked the curse Lucius had just cast. Draco fell to the floor. All his energy had been used to walk that far and he couldn't fight, he figured he would be safer on the ground.
Hermione stunned Lucius for a couple of seconds, she new what she had to do. She ran to Professor Dumbledore's office. On the way she crashed into someone, she looked up. It was Professor Dumbledore. He was racing off to where Hermione had just come from.
"Quickly professo."
Professor Dumbledore had already recovered from the crash and was hurrying along the corridor.
Lucius had still been stunned when the headmaster and Hermione arrived, Hermione had stun had been a lot stronger than she had thought. Dumbledore used a binding spell to bind Lucius up, he thanked Hermione and told her to take Draco to the hospital wing and then he hurried off with Lucius's stunned and binded body.
