Chapter 15

Hermione 7:25 p.m.

She pried hard at the door and it finally swung open. "Who's there?" called a voice. Hermione didn't answer she just slipped inside to get a closer look. There were two men. One was tall and had red hair. The other was older, shorter and with a wooden leg and fake, magical eye.

"Hermione?" said Mad-eye Moody. Hermione just stared at him. She didn't know what he was saying. The man in the other room had said it too. It sounded familiar. She shook her head to stop thinking so much and concentrate on what she wanted to do. She looked at the older one who had called her Hermione. He was old and gray. We wouldn't make a good vampire and his blood wouldn't taste good.

"Hermione what are you doing here? What's going on?" Mr. Weasly asked. Hermione looked at him. He would taste better. She grinned and started walking towards him. "Good lord, she's a vampire." He whispered.

Draco, & Ginny, 7:30 p.m.

Draco skipped the last step and stopped when he saw what was going on in the next room. "Called back up did you?"

Ginny didn't answer, she asked, "Do you have a wand?"

"No, Bellatrix still has it."

"We can't get through without a wand. Is there another way?" Ginny asked impatiently.

"Outside and through the back door. Let's go." He quietly led her to the front door and outside the house. "Who are all those people?" he asked as they ran around the side of the house.

"I can't tell you."

"Can't or won't?"

"Both."

They slipped in the back door and carefully so not to be seen, Ginny followed Draco to a door that led down stairs.

"Lumos," whispered Ginny, lighting their way. When they reached the bottom and looked around. All of a sudden Draco felt Ginny tap on his back. He turned her way and saw that she was looking at something on the floor. When he took a closer look he saw that it was body. "Mundungus," Ginny whispered, "Do you think Hermione-," before she could finish they heard someone near by cry out.

"The door," said Draco nodding to a door at the other side of the room that looked like it had been pried open. The two of them ran to it and found Hermione inside biting the neck of Mr. Weasly.

"Dad!" screamed Ginny. Hermione spun around and dropped the now weak Mr. Weasly next to Mad-eye Moody who appeared to be knocked out. She glared and started to walk towards them.

"Ginny go get help." Draco ordered quietly. Ginny nodded and left. "Hermione, its ok. It's me. Remember?" Hermione continued toward him, he back up and found himself against the wall, "Just stay calm and don't hurt anyone else, just….stop." Hermione grabbed him but before she could do anything, she was hit in the back with a spell. She gasped and fell onto the floor, unconscious. Draco looked at the door where Ginny stood with Harry and Remus Lupin. Lupin had is wand raised pointed at Hermione. Draco looked back at Hermione and knelt down beside her.

"What did you do to her?" he asked.

"I stopped her from turning you into a vampire," Lupin told him as he walked over to Arthur and Mad-eye. Ginny was helping her father up and Harry was walking slowly towards Draco, eyes on Hermione. "She'll wake up soon," Lupin went on, "She'll be back to normal and her memory will be completely restored. She won't stay awake long though."

"Is she cured?" asked Harry.

"No, Madame Pomfrey will have to give her a potion. But she'll be alright for the night."

Draco looked at Harry, "What's happening upstairs?"

"The death eaters left." Harry told him.

All of a sudden Hermione's eyelids fluttered open. She frowned, "Draco? What happened?" She sat up and looked from Draco to Harry. Slowly her expression changed. It went from confusion to fear to surprise.

"Hermione?" Harry said, "Are you ok? Do you remember what happened?" Hermione looked at him and gave him a teary nod. "Do you remember who I am?" Hermione nodded again as tears flooded down her cheeks. She jumped up and through her arms around Harry and sobbed into his shoulder.

Bridgeford Castle, Scotland 8:00 p.m.

Lupin was right, Hermione hadn't stayed awake for very long; he explained that the spell allowed her to wake up long enough to get her memory back. After about ten minutes she passed out and Dumbledore had taken her back to Bridgeford Castle along with everyone else who had been at Malfoy Manor. Hermione was out in one of the many bedrooms and Draco hadn't seen her since. Dumbledore took him to another room and sat across from him at a table.

"What happened Draco?" Dumbledore asked him calmly.

Draco just stared at him for a minute trying to collect his thoughts, just a few days ago everything had been so simple. All he had to do was stay out of his father's way and he could be as normal as possible. But now everything was different. Finally he said, "I found Hermione in the woods and she didn't remember anything. I took her back to my house because I didn't know what else to do."

"Didn't you know that it would be dangerous for her?"

"I didn't know how dangerous until I overheard my father talking. He was talking about how he got some prisoners from the Order of the Phoenix and how he didn't get the girl and I figured he was talking about Hermione. I wrote you a letter but my father found it before I could send it and found Hermione.

"Did you know that she was a vampire?" Draco nodded. Dumbledore watched him curiously as if evaluating him. Finally he asked, "Do you know what the Order of the Phoenix is?"

Draco shook his head, "All I know is that they are against Voldemort." Once again Dumbledore watched Draco.

Finally he sighed, "Draco your parents are some of Voldemort's biggest supporters, one can only assume that you have been on their side but I have to know, who's side are you on?" Draco looked at him. He wasn't even sure. Until now he had always been on his parents side because, well, they were his parents. But did he really support what Voldemort is doing? What is father is doing? He was so confused. Who was he suppose to listen too. "I don't know." He whispered.

"Your father will look for you, will you go with him if he finds you?"

Draco thought about it and realized that he was afraid of what his father might do when he was this angry at him. He looked away, unable to look Dumbledore in the eye, "Please don't let him find me."

Dumbledore nodded, "You'll be safe under the protection of the Order. You can either stay here, some of the other Order members stay here, nobody is here permanently but there is always someone here, or you can go with the others to the Order headquarters in London." Draco knew by "the others" Dumbledore meant Harry, Hermione and the Weasly's and he knew he wouldn't be welcome their.

"I'll stay here."

"You can go to bed now if you like; you've had a long day."

"If it's ok I'd like to see Hermione."

Dumbledore seemed surprised, "She won't be awake for a couple of hours but you may go in her room. Madame Pomfrey was able to give her some potion to cure her while she was asleep. I believe Mr. Potter is in their now."

Hermione 1:00 a.m.

Hermione woke up but didn't open her eyes. She tried to collect her thought and remember exactly what happened. She got into a fight with her parents and ran away to go to Grimmauld place and had foolishly wandered in the woods and got bit by a vampire. Draco had found her and brought her to his house, she tried to remember what happened their but all she could think about was how they had kissed. Had she really kissed Malfoy? He was sweet to her, he took care of her and tried to help her remember anything. He has jumped in front of one of the unforgivable curses so she wouldn't get hit.

No, she thought to herself, I can't like Malfoy. He is Malfoy after all. Anything that happened between us has to be forgotten. That's when she realized that the last thing she remembered was crying into Harry's shoulder. She opened her eyes and found herself in a bed in and unfamiliar room. She sat up and looked around. When her eyes adjusted to the light she saw that Harry had fallen asleep sitting on the floor leaning against the wall next to her bed. To her surprise Draco was also asleep on the room, in a chair next to the door. Suddenly his eyes snapped opened and sighed. He leaned forward and rubbed his eyes. He looked up, "Oh, your awake." He whispered. She just nodded and stared at him. "Um…..How do you feel?"

"Alright," she answered, "Uh…thank you….for…ya know….taking care of me."

Draco nodded, "Yeah. Do you remember everything that happened?"

She nodded and looked away, "Listen Malfoy, that kiss, I didn't know what I was doing, and it meant nothing."

Draco nodded again and said, "Naturally, you didn't you didn't have you memory. You didn't know who I was. I didn't mean anything."

Neither of them said anything. Finally Hermione broke the silence and asked, "Did you want it to mean something?"

Draco hesitated. He wanted to tell her that yes he wanted it to mean something, he wanted her to know how much he suddenly felt about her but instead he just said, "No," and he got up and left the room. Hermione laid back down and tried to fall back asleep. She didn't know why she felt slightly disappointed. She should feel relieved.

Than why are there tears running down my cheeks? She wondered.

Draco stood outside of her door wondering if he should go back in and tell her how he really felt. No, she didn't feel the same way; besides Potter was in there. He didn't care that much after all.

Then why am I crying? He wondered.
