a/n...i couldn't resist, I felt compelled to write more! Hehe…I know you all don't mind, this is where the action is going to start. Speaking of action, can anyone guess what plot is going on in my twisted mind? Wouldn't you all just love to know…*Evil laugh* This is kind of a scary chapter…and so that people won't yell at me…I know you can't apparate inside of Hogwarts…I KNOW! But I'm taking creative license…after all, the likeliness of Hermione and Draco living in the same room and not killing each other is very small, but they are characters in the books! Okay people…now don't kill me.

Disclaimer…JK Rowling is my hero…I am not my hero, therefore I can not be JK Rowling

In the Forbidden Forest, a man sat drinking unicorn blood from a goblet. His face was old and withered, but his eyes shone with a passion for death. There was a snapping of twigs as one of his servants came and stood before him.

"Are they there?"

"Yes master, all three of them, Draco, Hermione, and Haley."

"I want you to keep a close eye on them, don't let them leave, but I'll do the killing."

"Yes, master."

"Good, go now before you are missed."

The servant scurried off out of the forest and the man watched as they went.

"I'll get you back for all you've done to me Draco, you'll regret not coming to my side."

"Hermione, Draco, this is my sister, Fiona Dumbledore." An old woman looked at Draco and Hermione, smiling and with the same twinkle in her eye as her brother.

"Nice to meet you Fiona." Hermione hugged the old woman, taking in the scent of peppermints.

"You too deary." She said in an old, feeble, rough voice.

"Fiona, you'll be taking care of our daughter Haley." Draco held up the baby to the woman and she took her in her arms.

"She's beautiful." She said, a quiver in her voice.

"Like her mother." Dumbledore replied, smiling at his counterpart.

Hermione blushed and nodded her head as her daughter was handed back to her husband. "Thank you so much for doing this." She said to Fiona.

"It's no problem at all, really. But Albus, I'd really like to get some rest. If you'd excuse me." She bowed her head at the couple and walked out the door, followed by her brother.

"She seems nice." Draco said, going over to rock Haley to sleep in the rocking chair.

"Yes, so much like Dumbledore too." Hermione laughed as she sat down on the couch and grabbed a book. She felt another draft and shivered. "Brrr."

"What's wrong?"

"I just got the chills, I had them this morning too."

"Me too. That's strange, its not cold out, I wonder why its drafty."

"No clue." Hermione took the sleeping Haley from Draco's arms and went to lay her down. Both of them were unaware of the person watching them from their window.

*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*

That night as Hermione and Draco lay sleeping in bed, a hooded figure spoke the password to their room and walked in. A cold draft shot through all of the rooms but no one woke up, except one person. Haley stirred and opened her blue eyes, looking around the room.

The figure walked into the nursery and bent down over the baby, studying her carefully. Two small hands reached out from the black robe and began to reach for her until she began to cry. Hermione by then, having a mother's intuition had woken up. At the sound of her daughter crying she ran into the other room. She screamed as she saw the hooded figure bent over her daughter. It looked up with red eyes and apparated out of the room. *a/n…YES I KNOW THEY CAN'T APPARATE! Just refreshing your memory*

"Draco!" She screamed as her husband came running into the room.

"What's wrong?"

"T-t-there was something there, something bending over Haley." She grabbed on to her husband and sobbed into his chest.

"It's alright honey, everything is okay now." He patted her on the back and kissed the top of her head. Haley was looking around the room wildly and began to cry. Hermione went over to pick up her daughter, shushing her and rocking her back and forth. Draco stood and watched for a moment before going out to make sure everything was okay in the common room.

When Haley was asleep Hermione went out in the common room to find Draco setting more wards up around the door.

"That's better, anyone trying to get in won't be able to now." He looked gravely at his wife. "We'd better go to sleep, we'll report this tomorrow morning." He wrapped his arms around Hermione and they walked to their room. Neither of them got much sleep that night though.
