In Transit for You

Chapter 7: Make Me High on Lullabies

Hermione was awaken the next morning to the sound of Harry's voice and he sounded angry. Hermione listened for a moment.

"Tonks! God, where is that women? Tonks!" he was bellowing. It only took Hermione to figure out why Harry would be so mad. She grabbed Draco's arm making him jolt as he woke.

"Yes, love," he said rubbing his eyes.

"They…they found us," Hermione whispered.

"Let them be angry, there is nothing they can do to us," he said. "As long as I am here in this bed with you forever, I don't care."

Harry and Tonks came bursting into the room. Harry glared at Draco who was still holding Hermione's naked body beneath the covers.

"What the fuck do you think you're doing Malfoy?" Harry yelled.

"Doing what I was meant to do," Draco responded.

"I can have you arrested," Harry threatened Draco.

"On what charge?" Draco asked.

"I am the leader of the Order, I don't need a reason." Hermione held onto Draco for dear life. He was her lifeline, if she let go, she would surely die.

"If you take him, you'll have to take me too," Hermione declared burying her head into Draco's chest. Draco stroked her hair as he glared at Harry.

"The only reason you took that curse for her was to get her in bed. I know it," Harry snarled.

"Draco," Hermione whispered, "is that true?"

"No, never," Draco said astounded that she would ask such a thing.

"Arrest him," Harry demanded Tonks. Tonks pulled Hermione from Draco and handed him his boxers. As soon as he had slipped them on, she bounded him.

"A cell is waiting for you," Harry declared.

"Wait for me Hermione," Draco said as he was dragged out of the room. Hermione clutched the white sheets that she had tied around her naked body. She turned violently to Harry.

"You fucking hypocrite," she hissed at him.

"What do you mean?" Harry asked watching Tonks push Draco to the fire place.

"You're always going on about how we must trust those who are different from us. Wasn't it you who sent representatives to the giants and got them on our side? Wasn't it you who convinced half the werewolves to come to our side? Wasn't it you who snagged the vampires from Voldemort's grip? And now, a man passes through our doors asking for acceptance and because of a fucking boyhood rivalry, you shun him and hate him," Hermione told him. Harry tried to call out to her, but Hermione stomped out of the room and into the bathroom.
