Chapter 9: The Escape

Hermione once again woke up in the arms of the man she loved. They had fell asleep in his room this time and she admired his green, silk sheets. She looked up and, of course, Draco was awake watching her. She couldn't help but laugh at this.

"What's so funny?" he asked.

"Nothing." she said, calming down from the giggles.

"Okay…" he said confused.

"Nevermind. Come on, let's go get something to eat." she got up and went to her room to get dressed.

They left their dormitory together. It was still early in the morning so they decided to walk in with one another because not very many people are up this early on a Sunday morning. To their surprise, many people were already in there and eyed Draco suspiciously, not even noticing Hermione. Hermione immediately noticed that almost everyone had the Sunday Prophet in their hands.

Draco walked over to the Slytherin Table and sat down next to Blaise, his best friend.

"What's going on, Blaise?" he asked.

"You seriously don't know yet?" he asked incredulously.

"No…why? What's going on Blaise?" he said firmly.

Blaise handed him a copy of the Sunday Prophet and pointed to the main story on the front page and it read:

Death Eaters Escape

The well-known Death Eaters Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy have escaped from Azkaban Prison and whose whereabouts are currently unknown. 'The ministry is currently searching for any information on their whereabouts' said a worried Fudge, 'We are trying our best to find these Death Eaters and any information on them is greatly appreciated, Thank you.' The Ministry has decided to tell everyone to lock their doors and take great caution until these two convicts are caught.

The Ministry has also asked the wizarding community to give any tips on them that may help the Ministry, even if it isn't about their whereabouts. They also ask to keep your wands with you at all times, for the couple is very dangerous and will be even more dangerous with a wand.

Draco was dumbstruck. He didn't know what to do. He automatically knew they were going to find a way to get him back after he put them in Azkaban in the first place. He put them in there for killing his sister, abusing him, sexually and physically, and for being Death Eaters. He didn't even realize someone was trying to speak to him because he was in such deep thought of what they would do if they found him.

"Draco? Hello? Anyone in there?" said Blaise, pretending to knock on his head.

"Blaise, what am I going to do? They're going to come after me for putting them in there before." Draco was really worried.

"That's a tough one, Drake." he said thinking about what to do.

"No shit, dude." said Draco also thinking. He turned his head to look at a certain Gryffindor. As soon as he did, she was looking back with a worried expression. He hadn't told her why he put them in there. She already knew that his father killed his sister, he abused him, and that they were Death Eaters, but he hadn't told her that his mother sexually abused him.

Flashback

"Mom?" Draco was looking for his mother.

"In here darling!" she yelled from her room.

He followed the sound of her voice and went to sit on her bed, waiting for her to come out.

"Did you need something, Draco?" she asked walking over to him.

"Mom, I miss Sarah." he said looking down, he was now 11 and still wasn't over his sister.

"Honey, you have got to let go of the past. Otherwise, you won't get better." she was now very close to him on the bed.

"Mom, I don't want to let go of her." he hadn't looked up yet.

"Well, here, let me help take your mind off things." she said starting to take off his clothes.

"Mom, what are you doing? I don't want to do this, Mom." he was now pinned down by his mother and since he was still young, he couldn't get her to budge.

"Don't worry, Draco, this will make things better." she said getting undressed herself and taking off the rest of his clothes.

"Mom, stop, please Mom." he kept moving so she put a spell on him that made him stay still.

"Now, Draco, you need to stop moving so I can help you forget." she said and was getting herself ready. She made him enter her and she began thrusting herself on him more. All the while, Draco was crying, he closed his eyes and hoped this was a dream, but when he opened them he realized it wasn't. He couldn't move or yell for anyone so he had to sit there and take it. He was hoping his father didn't do this sister during their 'bonding time'. He cried more at the thought of his sister.

End of Flashback

Draco shuddered at the memory and quickly began hoping that the Ministry caught them before they reached him. Draco once again looked at Hermione she was poking her food, but not eating any and kept throwing him worried glances. He didn't eat either and when breakfast was almost over, he looked at Hermione and she was looking back and he nudged his head to point to the double doors and she got the message. He got up first and a few minutes later, Hermione followed suit.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hermione walked over to her friends. She sat down and they all looked at her nervously and wondered if she knew yet.

"What's going you guys?" she asked them.

They also handed her the clipping and as soon as she was done she looked over at Draco. He looked up at her after a minute. She was worried how he has. He didn't exactly look happy that his convicted parents were out of Azkaban, but while she was looking at him, he shuddered and she wondered what he thought about. She wondered if he was hiding something. After a while of poking at her food, she looked up at him and he nudged his head toward the doors. She nodded to show she understood. She saw him get up and waited a minute and then got up after him.

When she got out into the Entrance Hall, she didn't see him anywhere. She instinctively walked down the hallway and was scared to death when someone pulled her into a classroom while she was walking by and gave a yelp when she was inside.

"Shhh, it's okay, it's just me." he said nervously.

"You scared me half to death, Draco." she said turning to face him.

"Sorry." he murmured.

"Draco," she asked, "why did you shudder at the table?"

"No reason." he lied.

"Don't lie to me, Draco, I know you're hiding something." she said firmly.

He hesitated before he answered, "Fine." and he recounted his memory.

"Draco, why didn't you tell me this before?" she said now worried.

"I just didn't want you to know, okay?"

"Okay, relax." she said sitting down. He sat down next to her.

"Sorry, I'm just worried." and he gave her a kiss.

"I know, I am too. I already told you I can't bare to lose you." she said looking down.

"Hey," he lifted her chin, "I'm not going anywhere without you, okay? I promise I will make sure that nothing happens to me or you, alright?" he said reassuringly.

"You can't promise that." she said sadly.

Draco didn't know how to respond to this. He wanted her to know that he loved her and couldn't leave her, but she was right, he couldn't promise that he'll be alright. He wasn't sure what his parents had in store for him, but he was sure they had something. Instead, he gave her a loving and compassionate kiss and hoped she would get the message.

"I love you, Draco." she whispered.

"I love you too, Hermione." he said back. They sat there a little while before deciding to head back to their dorm. They walked in silence all the way up. As soon as they entered their common room, they walked up to Hermione's room. When they entered, Draco started kissing Hermione passionately. She didn't pull back or refuse. She granted him access to search her mouth with his tongue. They leaned back onto her bed with Draco on top. He began to lift up her blouse when she stopped him.

"Draco, I'm not ready for this." she said, "I'm sorry." she stood up.

"It's alright, Hermione, don't be sorry." he said disappointedly.

"See, you're already disappointed." she was looking down… again.

"Hermione, don't feel bad, just because you're not ready," he lifted her chin," doesn't mean I won't love you any less. Besides, all the more fun when you are ready." he smirked.

She couldn't help, but laugh a bit. "You definitely live up to your title, huh?"

"Which one?" he grinned evilly.

"Slytherin Sex Prince."

"Yes, I do." he said proudly.

She looked straight into his eyes. He looked back. He could tell she was still worried about him and his parents.

"Hermione, I want you remember something," he said," I want you to remember that no matter what, I will always love you and would never hurt you willingly, alright?"

She nodded.

"Even if something happens to one of us," she flinched at this comment," or even if we fight, my feelings won't change." he said heartily and truthfully.

She hesitated for a moment, but nodded anyway.

"Good." he said and kissed her again.
