First of all I want to say thank you to everyone who has reviewed. I know
it has taken me a long time to update, but with college starting back and
everything I have been extremely busy.
Chapter 38
Draco walked into the Great Hall, and looked up at the staff table to be met with Dumbledore's twinkling eyes, his fists clinched and he stiffly continued his journey to the Slytherin table. But taking a second look back he noticed that Professor Snape was not in attendance this morning and that was highly unusual.
"Attention Students" Dumbledore said as he rose from his seat. "As you know holidays are start at the beginning of next week. Yes I know that seems like such a long time away but, as an early present from the staff and I we are going to be holding a Christmas banquet the night before you leave, please wear dressy clothes." Dumbledore said as he sat down and breakfast soon appeared on the tables.
Draco hurried through his meal and quickly strode to the staff table. "Professor Dumbledore can I have a word with you" Draco ask forcing himself not to yell.
"Why yes Mr. Malfoy, why don't you go and wait in my office I will be there with you shortly." Dumbledore said.
"Thank you sir" Draco said as he left the Great Hall and headed toward the Headmasters office. Draco had only been there for about ten minutes when the old professor arrived.
"What can I help you with Mr. Malfoy?" Dumbledore as in a kind voice.
"Do you know where Hermione is" Draco blurted out.
"As a matter of fact I do" Dumbledore replied this had caught his interest.
"Where is she" Draco ask his voice had a pleading quality to it.
"Her mother requested that she return for holidays early, she came and ask me this morning so I let her go on home." Dumbledore said "Why do you ask."
"You let her go home, are you out of your mind." Draco roared as the office door came open and Serveus Snape walked in.
"Have I not taught you any better Draco you are in Slytherin not some measly Gryffindor.
"It is ok Severus I would like young Mr. Malfoy to explain that statement." "Her adoptive father beats the shit out of her" Draco roared "and if that isn't bad enough" Draco started but there was a tap at the window.
"Just one moment Mr. Malfoy let me get the owl then you can continue on with your story." Dumbledore opened the window and let the owl in taking the letter that was tied to his leg, and quickly reading it, a twinkle lit up his eyes. "Severus they have found the identiy of your daughter at last this letter proves it." Dumbledore said.
"Who is she" Severus ask leaning forward in the chair he now occupied.
"I think it best we hear the rest of Mr. Malfoy's story." Dumbledore said looking at Draco. "Go on"
"He raped her, she is terrified of him, she was waiting for the letter well the one you know about hoping that her real family would come and take her away, help her mother, but now she is gone and in great danger, and it is your bloody fault."
"I am sure Miss. Granger has her wand and can take care of herself." Severus said looking at Draco.
"How would you bloody know?" Draco raged throwing his hands up in the air.
"She is a smart witch, she will be fine" severus said again. "Yes she is her father's daughter, you should be proud Serveus." Dumbledore said." "Miss Granger is my daughter." Serveus said in a whisper. Dumbledore nodded his head," why the hell didn't you say so we have to go get her right away" Severus said his voice getting lower "Let us be sensible, if she does not write within a week we will go and fetch her." Dumbledore said sparking cries of outrage from both Draco and Severus
