A/N: OMG!!! I am sooooooooooo sorry for not updating lately in so long. I have been so busy lately. I know I keep on saying that, but this time I actually have an excuse. I had a research paper that I had to do that took over a month and a half, and since it is my sophomore year in high school and I have testing and finals coming up, all my teachers have been giving us extra work, especially in my honors classes, which are both English and history, and I'm not doing so good in history right now. And to top it all off, my mom got a new job, which means that when I'm not doing after school activities, I have to baby sit and do all my homework and let my sister be on the computer. SO PLEASE FORGIVE ME!!!!!!! Okay. Now that I've got that off my chest…on to the story. Oh yeah. If you like Tom Felton, AKA Draco Malfoy, check out my homepage!!! Tell your friends if they are interested in him!
Reviwers: I'd like to thank everyone who's reviewed. And I'd also like to thank my wonderful beta, Lia06!!! You're the best!!!
Disclaimer: I own none of the Harry Potter characters, just the plot, so don't steal it!!!
Chapter Seven
Harry, Hermione, and Ron all met up outside of Tonks' office at three p.m.
"Come in," Tonks said, opening the door and motioning for them to come in. "I take it you three know why you are here?" she asked as she shut the door behind them.
The three nodded.
"To kick some major death eater..." Once again, Ron couldn't finish what he was going to say, for Tonks had interrupted him.
"Thank you, Mr. Weasley, for that fine explanation, but it is not completely right. Hermione, I assume you have told these two the plan." Hermione nodded. "Then you all know what to do. You are to bring back all death eaters present to go to Azkaban."
The golden trio gathered around the house of Sean Majors, but not as their normal selves. Hermione was a white cat flecked with brown spots here and there, with chocolate-colored eyes that gleamed in the growing darkness. Harry was not actually Harry, but a European black lab with a thin white mark down the middle of his head, and green eyes, a brown ring around one and a white ring around the other. Ron was a European chocolate lab with brown eyes.
Harry and Ron were pacing up and down in front of the house, heads down near the ground. Hermione was sitting up on the fence post, tail flicking back and forth, looking from side to side. Ron wasn't watching where he was going and absentmindedly stepped on Harry's paw. Harry growled and bit the floppy ear of Ron. Ron yelped, his tail between his hind legs. Hermione, who always became the peace maker, jumped down form her spot on the fence and, resting her front paws on Ron's side, licked his ear to make it feel better, which it probably didn't. She then glided over to Harry and rubbed up against him. Hermione knew that Harry and Ron were tense. They had no idea how many death eaters would be there, and besides, they always got nervous before facing death eaters. Who wouldn't get nervous?
The dream team was finally starting to get impatient, and they were wondering if the death eaters would even show up. Hermione looked up, and by the growing darkness, it had to be about six. Just when they were about to give up hope, BANG!!! Six or so death eaters Apparated right inside the fence. Harry, Ron, and Hermione slid a little farther into the shadows.
Quiet voices whispered amongst the group, but as animals, the golden trio could hear each voice clearly. There were Vincent Crabbe, Gregory Goyle, Pansy Parkinson, Theodore Nott, Draco Malfoy, and Avery, for supervision, they guessed.
"Draco," came the hiss of Avery. "Would you care to do the honors?"
The form that must have been Draco shook his head. "Why don't you make Parkinson do it? I did it last time," he replied, wishing that Hermione would finally reveal herself and come to his aide.
Unbeknownst to the death eaters, except Draco, a white cat with brown splotches rubbed up against Draco's legs. He looked down at it, and it looked up at him with its chocolate-colored eyes. Draco knew it was time for the plan to go into action. He nodded and the cat darted into the shadows.
"Well, what if there is someone else in there with him?" Draco asked, stalling for as long as he could.
"If there is anyone there with him, then they will get the same treatment that he is getting," replied Avery. "Besides, that just means twice as much fun."
Pansy began walking towards the door, when three people jumped out and shouted curses at Draco's five companions. Draco also sent a jinx at the two bodies still up, making everyone knocked out.
Hermione, Ron, and Harry, after securing all the unconscious death eaters with levitating charms, all looked at Malfoy. Malfoy had Avery on a levitating charm. "I guess we're going to the auror's office now." They all disapparated and re-appeared in the auror's office. Their prisoners were taken away to Azkaban to await trials. Dumbledore met them in Tonks' office.
"Good job, you four," Dumbledore said, praising them. "Now, Mr. Malfoy, you know what must happen next." Draco nodded. Dumbledore handed Draco a goblet with some kind of potion in it. Once he had downed the contents, it went into effect, and he had almost instantly looked like he had been hit with quite a few spells. He had several marks on his face, and on his arms, and beneath his shirt laid a nasty-looking wound. His clothes looked all tattered.
Hermione gave him a confused look.
"I can't go home without looking like I got into a fight. It should wear off in about an hour or so." He kept eye contact with Hermione, who walked over to him and pulled him in a deep hug. She nuzzled her head in his chest, and breathed heavily. She loved the scent of him, which was, oddly enough, vanilla.
"Draco," she asked, so only he could hear. "Will we ever get to be together?"
He shrugged his shoulders. "I don't honestly know right now, but I sure hope so." He pulled her into a passionate kiss, and when they finally pulled away, Hermione pulled him as close to her as he could get. "I really should be getting home, but I'll talk to you really soon." He kissed her forehead, and then disapparated. Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, so Harry wrapped her in a big hug.
"You really should go home and get some sleep. We'll come get you in the morning." Hermione nodded, and offered a weak smile.
"Sleep sounds really good right now. I'll see you tomorrow. Bye you guys, Albus." She apparated home. As soon as she entered her room, her head hit the pillow, and she fell asleep in her work attire, not even bothering to change.
A/N: Well, how did you like it??? I think it was pretty good, if I do say so myself. Well, you all had better review, otherwise I'm not updating until I get a sufficient amount of reviews!
