"I thought you told him that if he ever came looking for you, you would call the police?" Hermione asked him silently from behind a fallen tree.
"I did, but only because I though he would believe me." Draco grinned sheepishly. "In reality I'm too big of a chicken to call the authorities on my dad." He revealed.
Hermione groaned. "I can't believe this..." She said hysterically. "We're in the middle of the woods with you're maniac father chasing after us. How did he even find this place?"
"We need to go back." Draco said suddenly. "The path winds around and you can see us from behind."
They jumped and looked around. Seeing no-one they sprinted back towards the bridge. Forgetting all about not walking through mud, Hermione followed Draco as he led her back to their house.
Jenny was sitting in the living room reading when the front door burst open and Hermione and Draco appeared, sweaty and panting. They began entering when Jenny spotted the mud on their shoes.
"Hold it! Shoes off, then come in and tell me what happened." She told them.
She saw them take off their shoes then walk inside. Draco collapsed into the loveseat with Hermione not far behind him. As soon as their breathing became regular again, Draco and Hermione started babbling incoherently.
"We were in the woods..."
"Lucius..."
"...madman...chasing us..."
"...knows where we are..."
"Whoa there." Ginny said, alarmed. "Now one of you, tell me what happened."
Hermione took a deep breath and told Jenny how they had been walking when they heard Draco's father shouting and looking for them. When Hermione got to the part about Him chasing them, Jenny stood up.
"We should call the police!" She said indignantly.
"NO!" Draco and Hermione blurted at the same time.
Jenny stared at them as though they were crazy.
"You were being chased by a drunken maniac who threatened his son with a knife and you don't want me to call the police on him?" She asked slowly.
They nodded.
"Whatever." She threw her hands up and said, "You fight your own battle."
She walked up the stairs and they heard her shut the door to her office.
