A/N: Sorry for the Delay. I was trying to do too many things at once. Anyways, here's Friday for you!
Hermione rolled over in the guest bed. She let out a small groan. "Ugghh...Friday. I have to spend a whole evening with Draco Malfoy in my house. Well...might as well get it over with." With that final thought, she hopped off the bed and put her Chemistry book in her bookbag. She heard a knock and then the doorbell. She raced out of the guest bedroom and down the stairs. She got to the door and opened it. Kate ran down the hallway. Hermione jumped out of the way and groaned again. Another groan, another look at Malfoy.
"Hey, Hermione. Got your homework done yet?" Draco asked, his eyes not meeting hers. Ever since the trip into his past on Wednesday, he had been very anxious around her.
"Yeah, you?" Hermione asked, trying to meet Draco's eyes. She failed.
"Yep. Well, I went to a video rental shoppe after classes. I picked this one up." Draco said, holding up the DVD case. The title was, "A Lot Like Love" with Ashton Kutcher. "It looked good, and I thought you and Kate would like to see a chick flick rather than a boring old action movie."
"Awww...Hermione, isn't he sweet?" Kate said, moving in to kiss him. Only, Draco gently pushed her away.
"Later, cupkate," He said softly. "Later."
Hermione made a gagging sound, but quickly covered it up as a cough when Draco sent a look her way. A look to shut up. "Sorry, I'm gonna go get a cough drop. My throat's been scratchy all day. Draco, come with me. You can put the DVD in the DVD player and Kate can make some popcorn." Hermione said, motioning for Draco to follow her.
"Sure." Draco said, following her. "So, what's up?"
"When are you going to tell her?" Hermione said, stopping and looking in Draco's deep gray eyes.
"Tell her what?" Draco lied. He broke the stare and looked at the carpeting underneath his feet. "Gosh, this is really nice carpeting!'
"Don't change the subject. You're going to have to tell her about your past eventually. You can't just let her be in the dark until a deatheater comes and takes Kate away. You have to tell her."
"She's already living with a deatheater, Hermione. She knows about my father." Draco said. When he saw Hermione's confused expression, he said, "Wait, didn't they tell you they were purebloods?"
"Bloody hell no! Great. I'm going to go pack. I can't stay here. My parents send me to New York to be away from Death eaters and I end up living under the same roof as one. Just bloody grande!" Hermione said, turning and running upstairs to the guest bedroom.
"Hermione, wait!" Draco yelled after her, running up the stairs as well. Following her into the guest room, he said, "They seriously didn't tell you? Kate didn't tell you? Kate didn't tell you she was going to leave her family? That's why I'm here. I'm taking her to my host family's home until I have to go back. Then I'm taking her to Hogwarts, where she can get a better education. Hermione, you can come too." Draco said, grabbing her shoulders and looking her in the eyes. "I won't let them take her or you. I'll keep you both safe, I promise."
"Fine. I'll go with you, I guess." Hermione said. With a flick of her wand, things folded and positioned themselves in her trunk. With another wave of her wand, the trunk closed and locked. Another flick and the trunk was pocket sized. She slipped the tiny trunk into her pocket and grabbed her purse off of the dresser. "Let's go." Hermione walked down the secret hallway at the back of her closet and to Kate's room. She knocked and walked in. She did the same thing with Kate's stuff and put it in Kate's suitcase. She made the suitcase pocketsized and put it in her purse. She turned and walked out.
Walking down the hallway, she thought she heard a tiny scream coming from outside. Looking out the window, she saw Kate between two deatheaters, both with masks on. "Oh shit..." Hermione said under her breath. Running down the hallway and stairs and out the door, she got to Kate as fast as her legs could possibly take her. "Petrificus Totalus!" Hermione said, making the deatheaters fall over, frozen. Kate stood there frozen with fright.
"Where's Draco...I need Draco...Go get Draco...We must leave." Kate managed to say, before fainting.
"DRACO! Get. Out. Here. NOW!" Hermione screamed at her bedroom window on the second story of the house. Just as she wished, he came running out and to his black Chrysler Pacifica with serpent green and silver trim.
"Come on...wait, what happened to Kate?"
"She fainted. I'll tell you the whole story on our way to your host family's house...which is...?"
"In town...don't worry, it's not far."
As they pulled out of the driveway, Kate's father and a bunch more deatheaters walked out onto the porch. All of the british ones, including Severus Snape. "Get them..." a snake-ish voice hissed.
"Yes, Mi'lord." Snape said, moving forward and giving some sort of signal to Draco. Draco pulled out and started to drive down the road towards the corner, which, consequently, was shielded from view by trees. Snape disapparated from the lawn and apparated in the car. The car vanished and started to fly towards Hogwarts.
"Where are we going, Draco?" Hermione asked, a little worried about the car. "Won't a muggle see us?"
"No, the invisibility gear is brand new; Works like a charm!" Snape answered for Draco, a little to happy, in Hermione's opinion.
"We're going home, Hermione. We're going home." Draco said. Hermione leaned up against the window and stared down at the trees.
"Home. We're going home..." She softly, barely above a whisper. "Home..."
How was the chapter? It's a little shorter than I planned but I'm having major writers block. I put a little twist in there...it's kind of cool, I think...anyways...yeah they're going back to Hogwarts. Harry and Ron don't know about it. Will Hermione tell them?
