Chapter 13

Hermione looked over the faces of her friends and then smiled. "You know guys; I just might have lost my mind." She turned off the TV and shook her head. "So, what bring you two here?"

Harry was the first one to come out of the shocked state Hermione had put them in. "We got all that stuff you wanted. So we came find Malfoy and also some news for the wizarding world." Harry handed her a newspaper, on the front page was a photo of Draco. But the photo was one that couldn't have been taken long ago. It showed him in a pair of dirty jeans and a ripped hooded sweater. His usually clean blond hair had some mud in it and he was sleeping in a box! The paper read as fallows.

Rich Kid In A Box?

This photo was taken by a student of Hogwarts five days after Mr. Malfoy had run away from home. The nameless student spotted Draco Malfoy sleeping in a box in the city of Dublin. Not believing what he was seeing, the young man took a photo. As the young man walked over to Mr. Malfoy, to ask if he was alright he was hit with a memory charm, forgetting about what he had seen and the photo he had taken. The spell lasted right up until the young man developed the film. After this Dublin and surrounding area were combed for the young man, but with no success. The Ministry is trying to map out where Mr. Malfoy could have went from there, they are even asking MUGGLES if they have seen the young man. Again the Ministry asks if anyone has information leading to Draco Malfoy to please contact them. Mr. Heagbee is heading up the chase. Mr. Heagbee believes that Draco Malfoy could be the key to stopping Voldemort and his Death Eaters once and for all. "Draco Malfoy lived with Death Eaters, walked with them and talk with them. He could know where they're hiding or even who they really are under their hoods. It is imperative we find him before they do," Mr. Heagbee told reporters. In any chase you might want to check the boxes in the all ways. Judging by the photo that is where we will find him.

Hermione put the paper down. "I got something to tell you guys." Both her friends gave her their full attention. As she opened her mouth a voice went off in her head. 'You can't tell your friends that you know where Draco is or I will have to kill you all.' Red was in her head!

'Yes I know that Red, I was just going to tell them I had a good idea were he was, is all.' She closed her mouth trying to smile at them. Not hearing a reply from the annoying vampire she opened told them just that.

"Where?" Harry asked simply.

"Draco Malfoy is a smart boy. He is hiding in a shelter for the homeless. It's perfect; he'd be surrounded by others at all times. He'd fit right in; it would be way harder for anyone to find him." She looked from one to the other.

"Malfoy smart!" Ron snorted.

"Oh Ron get over it. We all hate him, but the fact is he is the smartest guy in the whole school. He got the second highest score on the N.E.W.T.S. Even though you don't want to admit it, Draco Malfoy is very smart." She gave Ron a look that just stated 'suck it up'.

(At the church)

Draco sat down in the small room Red had shown him the night before. This was Draco's new room, thanks to all the Death Eaters running around and Sam's (which turned out to be Ying's real name) brother Mark now living in the church, it just seemed right for Draco to move into this room.

Red had been pretty pissed about being left out in the sun for two hours, but he said he'd find away for Draco to make it up to him. At first this really freaked Draco out. However ten minutes later Red told Draco all he had to do was see one of Red's shows and he would forgive him.

This seemed simple enough. Though he was getting used to the presence of the puff vampire, Draco still felt uneasy around him. He wasn't sure if it was the fact he was a puff or that he had more power in his voice alone, then Voldemort had in his entire body. But there was another part of Draco that was fascinated by the man. He was a dark and evil character, but he was filled with light and beauty. Draco found Red to be too much for his mind to handle.

Then there was this new feeling inside him for Hermione. Just hearing her name sent his heart into a wild dance. A certain part of his body burned and twined. The worse part was that Draco's mind raced with all kinds of different thoughts. It took him quite some time to think of what to say.

Draco climbed out of his bed, finding his necklace and then his hooded sweater. He walked out the door, up the stairs, down the hall and out the front gate. Red had given him directions to his show, the one he wanted Draco to see.

'I wish I could take Hermione with me. I'd watch the show and then put on a show of my own, just for her.' A smile spread across his face, but soon disappeared when a voice came from behind him. A voice Draco knew belonged to a Death Eater.

"Excuse me young man?" James Heagbee asked from behind him. Slowly Draco turned around to stare the man in the face. Heagbee smiled freakishly back at him. "Have you seen this boy?" He handed Draco a photo of himself. Draco looked at it for a long time and then handed it back, shaking his head no. "Are you sure? He's the son of a very good friend of mine. He went missing not too long ago. It's very imported I find him and bring him home to his family." He tried to look worried and failed in Draco opinion.

'Yeah, right you just want to find me and kill me you fucking Death Eater!' Draco shook his head yes that he was sure and then he left Mr. Heagbee on the street. 'Elwood was right about them being everywhere. Stupid wizarding world thinks they know who's on there side and who's not. HA! I read the paper your trusting one of Voldemort's in circle men to find me and bring me safely back to you! Damn you are so stupid.'

Draco walk into a bar called 'The Blood Bank' and knew instantly he was surrounded by vampires. A rather large one shut the door and pushed Draco against the wall, "Hey everyone a snack just came though the door! And I think I am going to have a bite." Draco fought against the vampire with all his might, which was a mistake for the vampire used his super human strength and smashed Draco against the wall. Draco felt as if someone had just taken a hammer to his back and front. All the air in his lungs was forced out and he felt very dizzy. He heard a voice from behind the vampire that seemed familiar, but all went black as the vampire again slammed him against the wall.

"I said get off him! How dare you disobey me!" Red instantly slammed his hand into the back of the other vampire and ripped out his heart. The larger vampire screamed and dropped his unconscious prey. Now Red could have simply used his voice control power on him, but he felt the other vampire needed to be made into an example. He then set the vampire heart on fire and the rest of the bar hid in terror as Red's victim begin to burn into ash slowly.

Red picked up Draco and placed him on a table. "I asked this young man to come and see my show tonight and now he can't see it! He's bleeding internally and all of his ribs back and front are broken!" Reds eyes burned wildly. "The show is cancelled thanks to that pile of ash. Now get the insufferable elf on the phone. I can't fix this, but he can." It was like the whole bar ran for the phone and made the call. No one wanted to be Red's next example.

(In Elwood's office)

The golden trio sat in front of the elf. They had come to ask if Elwood could help them in their search for Draco. "Hermione, I would love to help you in your friend's find..." Just then the phone rang. Elwood looked at the phone as if shocked that it would ring. "Just a moment guys." He answered it.

"Hello this is father Elwood how can I assist you?" His soft, sweet voice answered kindly. Someone's voice could be heard from the other end. The look of utter horror spread over Elwood's face and it was obvious he forgot there were other people in the room. "What the hell was he doing in a vampire bar? Goddamn it! Is D dead? Did this other vampire squish the life out of him?" There was a pause. "No I am fucking coming, keep him comfortable and for god's sake, don't move him or let any other vampire near him." Elwood slammed the phone down, jumped out of his chair and open a cupboard.

"I am sorry, but I have to go. It appears one of the runaways I take care of ran into some trouble. He's been injured and…" Hermione was out of her seat.

"What happen to D? Was he bitten? Father Elwood please let me come with you!" Elwood met Hermione's eyes. Grabbing his bag he shook his head. "I am sorry Hermione, but there is no way I going to take you to a vampire bar. Red maybe irresponsible enough to do such a crazy thing, but I am not. It is getting late and there are Death Eaters wandering the streets. You three should go home." With that Elwood was gone in a puff of smoke.

"Hermione what was your boyfriend doing in a bar for vampires?" Harry asked.

"I have no idea Harry… I just hope he is all right." Hermione barely whispered. Harry took her by the arm.

"Come on Ron, let's get back to Hermione's grandmother's house." Ron helped Harry walk Hermione back to Miss Granger's house. It was a long and quiet walk, for Hermione was scared to death to find out whether Draco was ok or not.
