Dumbledore twirled his wand and muttered some incantation. A silvery substance came out of Drane's head and Dumbledore placed it into the pensieve. He was the first one to go into the pensieve. He vanished within a second followed by Hermione and then Draco and Drane.
...
" Please, mother. It's not a big deal," said Draco with Hermione standing beside his well-built body.
" It's not a big deal for you but it's a big deal for me," Narcissa squealed. " Your father asked me to have your son as a Death Eater before he left this world," she continued.
" But mother, he can't be a Death Eater-he's not a pureblood. You know that and I will NEVER let him join the dark side. I want you to leave this manor right now!" Draco commanded.
" This is my manor too, Draco," Narcissa said with a grimace on her face.
" Not anymore, mother. It's written in the will. Leave right now!"
" But Dra-."
" Do you want me to spell it for you?" Draco said before she could finish her sentence.
" Draco, I won't leave," said Narcissa with anger in her voice. She raised her wand.
" Avada Kedavra." The word shot out from Narcissa's mouth.
The spell didn't hit anyone of them, instead it hit the time turner that fell on the marble staircase from the house-elf. They heard a cry and it sounded so familiar. They turned around and saw swirling, white mist which surrounded Drane and the marble staircase.
"DRANE!!!" Hermione shouted. Drane vanished from the staircase.
...
Dumbledore, Hermione, Draco and Drane were brought back to Dumbledores office. They were somehow quite shocked seeing the scene.
" So, Mr. Malfoy, Miss Granger, now that we know about the whole situation, I guess we have to make decision whether to keep this young fellow here, under your care or send him to foster while we find the way to transport him back to future?" asked Dumbledore.
" I think it is best if we keep him here since Drane doesnt want to be far from Dra-Malfoy and I think he would love him to stay here rather than to be sent him to foster," said Hermione. Draco gave her a smile. A genuine smile.
" It is up to you both," Dumbledore added.
" Professor, I had better make a move or else my hand will be so numb if I stay any longer. Hes quite heavy," said Draco, showing signs to leave the room.
" Yes, you may, Mr. Malfoy."
" It's quite late, professor. I should go too," said Hermione, giving Dumbledore a faint smile.
" Yes but don't you want to have your supper since you've missed your dinner."
" No thank you, professor." Dumbledore nodded and Hermione walked away.
She entered the Prefect Suite. Draco was not there. Hmm…Drane must be sleeping with him.
" Blue candy," she muttered. The door to her room swung open. She sat at the red armchair, next to the fireplace. Kept thinking about him and her future son.
...
The sun shone brightly into Hermiones room through the tall window. She woke up lazily. Ah…nice Sunday morning. She gasped when her feet touched the cold floor. She took her robe and wrapped it around her and walked towards the bathroom.
She took her T-shirt and a pair of jeans.
" Mummy…mummy…help me!" Hermione heard Drane knocking on the door. Drane came running into her room as soon as she twisted the doorknob. He climbed onto her bed and hid under her blanket.
" Drane, where are you?" Hermione heard Draco say. She turned and saw Draco just a few inches from her. She gasped. Draco was shocked too. It was an awkward moment. Then they heard Drane laughing.
" Mummy, daddy, you look funi." He continued laughing.
" Sorry, Herm-Granger," said Draco apologetically. " Can I enter you room?" he asked.
" Sure but it s a bit messy."
" It's okay." He ran to Drane and hugged him tightly. " Got you!"
Hermione laughed at them. " What are you two playing?"
" err…hide and seek," Draco replied loosening his arms. Drane escaped and ran to Hermione. Hermione grabbed him and ran out to the common room with Draco trying to catch them. They ran round and round the common room, knocking over anything, which blocked their way. They ran until they got really tired and slowed down. Draco grabbed Hermione and Drane and they fell onto a couch. It was the happiest moment.
They stared into each other's eyes. Draco moved forward and they were juz a few inches away when Drane broke off the silence. They had totally forgotten about Drane who was lying on top of Hermione.
