I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER (sigh) I'm just a broke high school student.(bigger sigh) J.K. if you're out there I wouldn't mind if you gave me some money(just kidding).

Anyways here's the story. I'm so sorry for not having written in a long time. The parents (growl) had banned the use of the computer for two months and I've been begging and begging and they have just relented so here I am.

Chapter 4 She's Alive?

The first thoughts that went through Harry's mind were, how could she have done that? Doesn't she know that it would just about kill me and it almost did to not know where she was? She did it because she loved me. And to think that she knew what I knew all along about Voldemort. I knew he was not dead for have I not still the connection between him and me, the scar? The pain has been growing stronger but not strong enough for me to sense where he is. I have scouted many countries looking for him. But now I will not scout for him I'll look all over the world for her. I'll just bet that she has changed her hair color and her eyes but she cannot change what we felt between us and that will help me find her. But I must not tell Ron about this, though he would gladly come with me in search of her, I must not tell him because if I meet with Voldemort in my travels I don't want Ron to get hurt and leave Parvati and Woody alone, as I was left alone. No they must never find out till I've found her and my baby. I'll act totally normal.

Meanwhile at the Weasley's, Ron and Parvati and of course little Wood, were getting dressed. It was more Parvati dressing Woody and Woody kicking the clothes off. Ron meanwhile was trying to decide whether they would go to the restaurant Katie Bell had opened, she was the owner but she was hardly there for she was an auror and a player for the Chudley Cannons, it was clear across the country but with floo powder they would get there in a manner of seconds. A good thing about this restaurant was that though it was not super expensive it was very luxurious and had the best service in all England. "Dear do you want to go to Katie's restaurant?"

"Why of course Ron, and maybe we should invite Gin and Draco, shouldn't we?" answered Parvati.

"Yeah maybe it would help distract Harry and help him enjoy himself more."

. . . . . . . . . . . .

In the Malfoy-Weasley household you could hear Ginny shouting "Honey I've just finished talking to Ron, and he asked us if we wanted to Katie's restaurant with his family and Harry."

"Yeah tell him we'll meet them there." Was Draco's reply. "Oh, and Ginny it might be a good time to tell them the news don't you think?"

"Oh of course it will just be splendid, how surprised they'll be won't they?! Now what will I wear? My green gown or the champagne colored one? My hair up or down?"

" Gin please don't go on a long list of what you have it would take hours."

" Oh you just shut up Draco Malfoy you take just as much time looking in the mirror as I do."

In another household in England a Mommy was trying to dress her little darling who would not sit still. I believe I deserve a break, I'll take my little Misha to Aunty Emily, while I go out to dinner, I heard someone's opened a new restaurant downtown. And most importantly no one I knew will be there, though I wish they would show up. No, such thinking will do me no good for even though they were there it would result in tragedy if they saw me. " Now Danielle be a good girl and don't misbehave, behave extra nice with Aunty while mamma's away." So said Michelle. A few seconds later they were at "Aunt Emily's" who was actually not related to them. "Emily I really, really appreciate you looking after Danielle"

"That's all right Michelle you hardly ever go out. Anyways are you going with someone?" after a pause Emily answered herself "No you never do, but Michelle I don't know what happened between you and Danielle's father but whatever he did to you, you must not let it hurt you so bad, get on with your life!"

"Emily I told you he never did anything to me we were in love and as far as I'm concerned I'm still in love, and besides we are still married. Sometimes I miss him so that it almost feels unbearable, but as I told you I can never go back, " was Michelle's answer. "That, is what I don't get about you Michelle, you love him but you say you can never go back to him! Why?"

"Emily someday I'll tell you but just not right now. See you later." With that she was gone.

. . . . . . . . . .

I'm going to go with Ron and Parvati and behave normally so as to not arouse their suspicion.

"Hey, Harry are you in there?! I just wanted to talk to you, so if you're there would you be as kind as to please walk to the fireplace"

"I'm going Ron, really you are a really impatient person, I believe that's why your hair is red."

" Jeez thanks pal I call you so that you would know where we're going and all I get is a commentary on my impatience and my red hair! Well anyways we'll be going to Katie's new restaurant The Palace of Dreams all right?"

"Yeah see you in a moment, and please take lil' Wood I haven't seen my little nephew in a long while."

"Sure, we're taking him, you know how much Parvati likes to show him off, so see ya."

Harry answered, "Yeah see ya."

I guess that went well and I acted normal. I guess I should be off. I think I'll apparate there.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

Harry was the first one to get to the restaurant then came the Weasleys through the fireplace. "Well thank goodness we are not in school, or otherwise I wouldn't be able to clean myself" said Parvati.

"Oh Ginny and Draco are here what a coincidence."

Harry said as he saw Ginny and Draco appear in the restaurant,

"Actually it isn't I forgot to mention to you Harry, that they were coming." Ron apologized

"Oh that's okay, it really is nice to see them, I haven't seen them at all this summer." Harry broke away and went to greet them.

" How are you guys, you look very nice Ginny, and you too Malfoy, I see Ginny hasn't been able to break you of your bad habits has she? Eh?"

" What bad habits I don't have any I am pure of them, but I see you Potter haven't changed that much either have you, and besides how can you have changed if I saw you just two months ago at the end of the school year. Oh and Potter you need a bit of hair gel on the back of your head your hair is starting to get mussed" everyone laughed, for both of them always insulted each other good naturedly when they met.

" Man Draco I always thought you were a bit much but I never imagined you would dress like that"

"What are you guys laughing at, even you Ginny? Please tell me what is wrong!" he got a simultaneous answer of "oh nothing."

Draco just looked down and saw that Harry had made his clothes into a dress and his shoes were now women's pumps. When he saw that he started laughing and said out of breath "Shit now people are going to think that I'm gay. Oh and this by the way will not go unpunished Harry so watch your back. Now that you've had your laugh, will you change my clothes back?"

"Sure but first you must run around saying that you love everyone and." at that moment Harry saw a young woman sit down at a table. "and give that lady a kiss."

"Harry I'm gonna kill you for this, and I won't do it."

"Fine if you want to stay like that for the rest of the night."

"Darling I really do want to see you run around saying you love everyone and I don't mind that you give a kiss to the lady." Ginny said in a rush before she dissolved into giggles.

"First Harry asks me to do something humiliating and now your telling me, no actually pushing me to do it. Woman you have no loyalty" Draco said in a pretend annoyed voice. "All right I'll do it." Draco did the shouting but when he got to the kissing the girl he did not do it instead he went there to ask her if she was waiting for someone, and she looked surprised but she answered that no she was not.

"Then as you are not, would you care to join my group, ah excuse me I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Draco Malfoy .., what's the matter you look pale are you all righ?"

"oh yes, yes I'm quite all right thank you my name is ... Michelle."

"Well, pleased to meet you come and meet my wife and my friends."

"Sure, just let me get my bag." "So lover boy, you have finally come back" teased Ginny. "Tease all you want I want you to change my clothes back."

"All right but you have to introduce us to the lady" was Harry's joking answer.

"Now that I have my clothes back, everybody this charming lady's name is Michelle. And Michelle this is my lovely wife Ginny and this great lug is Ginny's brother Ron with his wife and precocious little boy Wood, and of course this wreck of a guy is Harry Potter but of course you would all ready know that if, what's the matter!"

Michelle was lost in her mind, all she was thinking was, I have to get away from here I have to. I shouldn't be here. Harry's here, I can see his eyes looking at me as though they recognize me.

"I'm pleased to meet you all but I really have to go." With that Michelle was out of there.

"Wait! Hermione is that you? You can't leave me, not again, how's are daughter?" Harry ran towards her but she was too fast for him she had disapparated.

Harry just stood where she had been standing and stared into space all the while thinking, She looked at me as if she wanted to tell me something but didn't have the courage to! I've got to know where she is. I'll find her!

"Harry what was all that about, was it really Hermione? But she didn't look at all like her." His friends said as they got to him.

But stopped when they saw his face it was crumbling up as if he was having a hard time controlling his feelings, Ron was the one who broke the silence when he said, "Harry let's take a seat over there in the corner. "Harry I don't want to be nosy but Hermione was also my friend and you of course are mine, how do you know that it was Herm and not someone else, and I also heard you shout out about your daughter, what daughter? You never told me you guys had a daughter." Ron asked him.

"I don't know for sure if that was Hermione," he sighed... "I just got a feeling that it was her," was Harry's answer.

"Potter you dope you still haven't told us what's with this daughter thingy." As usual Draco was being his usual charming self.

"I found a letter that Herm had left for me to read it told me that she was expecting a baby girl, I guess she would be the same age as Woody here, and that she was leaving me. It said that Voldemort was not dead and that he would come again to wreak vengeance on me and that the only way was using my child, so she left to protect me." Harry sounded so dull and lifeless that everyone was scared for him.

"Harry, when did you find all of this out?" Ginny asked looking at him full of sympathy.

"Just a few hours ago, but let's stop talking about it and try to have good dinner." Everyone looked at him as to figure out if he was sure about it.

"Ginny and I have something to tell you guys.. All right Ron why are you laughing at the opening of my speech?" Draco was annoyed but Ron was laughing and said, " Since when do you use correct grammar?"

"Very funny..Hahaha.. Now on with the news, Ginny you can tell these great louts, and Parvati you're not included in that epithet."

"I should hope not, or I'll chop you into little Draco pieces"

Ginny laughed at Draco's mock horrified expression, and continued with the news "Well Harry, Ron, Parvati we as in Draco and I are going to be parents! We wanted to tell you that the baby will be born in February." Ron and everybody else went and hugged Ginny and congratulated Draco.

"See Parvati, you can't chop me into little pieces, because my baby needs me"

"Poor lil Dwaco is afraid of big bad Parvati?" The whole table erupted in giddy laughter.

Everything that was said could have passed for normal to passerbies but they knew that the topic of Hermione was hanging in the air.

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Michelle what are you doing here? I thought that you would not come till later. Did something happen?" Emily was startled to see a normally calm Michelle looking very alarmed as if someone was out there hunting for her.

"Yes something happened.. I saw Him. At the new restaurant. What was he doing there?! He lives all the way across the country. I have to leave, now or something horrible will happen."

"Michelle you are talking like a mad woman, now get over there and sit down and I'll bring over some tea. Then you can tell me the whole story. Here hold Danielle while I go to the kitchen." Emily handed over the sleepy Danielle to Michelle. While Emily prepared tea Michelle composed herself and when Emily came back with the tea she was calm.

"Now dear will you tell me everything since the beginning?"

Michelle looked straight ahead and started her story.

That's all folks. Next chapter we get all the details about what happened the day Herm left Harry.
