Lightning War: Chapter 4
Ok, so it was a miner over site to let everyone into his apartment. Duncan did not have enough room for the four other people in his building apartment. What did they think he is running a halfway house?
Methos had found himself a comfortable spot next to Draco. Methos's half eaten sandwich fresh from Duncan's refrigerator lay on a plate on the table right next to one of Duncan's collectable books. The man possesses no regard for furniture or people. How Duncan could insure such a slob to be his friend he would never find out the answer.
Methos did what he wanted, when he wanted. Well, up to the point where he could get away from any would-be head hunter.
Draco who had taken inched his way from the man beside him waited patently for Hermione to walk into the room where he is setting despite how many times Richy asked him if he wanted a sandwich.
Richy made his second sandwich in the kitchen leaving Duncan in the bathroom with a very naked Hermione Granger.
Dancan washed the young immoral in the shower. She had lost conciseness way before she arrived at his door. He became very concerned for her and decided to check her body for bruises and what ever else he might find that might disturb him.
He did not find anything out of the ordinary. Hermione clearly had died from the shock of the quickening but who did this. Her hair appeared to be sensed and her face looked like it turned a blackened color. Seeing this did not affect him, as he knew what happened in a quickening but he needed details. If she had not fought anyone, who did this to her?
Outside, Jacob looked up at the apartment building, "Time will tell." However, unannounced to him a Pepsi truck (A/N:I do not own Pepsi.) pulled up across from where he is standing.
Five men and a very uptight Amanda stepped out of the van. Amanda motioned for the men to attack Jacob. In seconds, the men had obeyed the Christian woman.
Jacob's head hit the pavement in a flash. His arms forced behind his back could not move. Two of the men took the men to the tuck as Amanda opened the door. "Throw him in. We will get our information back at the base." The man did as she said. Amanda laughed as she gagged Jacob, "Dear do not fear, if you help us we will give you a short death. If you lie, well, God help you." The truck pulled away with Jason in the back never to be seen in that location again.
Inside the apartment, Hermione resulted with her resent quickening.
In her mind three men stood in front of her.
"What do you what?" The voice is not her own but a male voice. The men before him held swords.
"Tell Draco Malfoy we are coming for him." They raised there swords but that was only a distraction for the man in back of him to take his head.
Hermione jolted awake. Her eyes fixated on Duncan. "Duncan some has went terribly wrong."
He held dumped some more water on her back. "You can get dried off and tell us all about it."
"I can't tell."
Duncan washed off his on hands that were soapy from the bath, "I will see you in the living room, Hermione."
As Hermione dressed she privately wondered how her friends were doing. They did not seem like the type to not fight at all. Ron had the home advantage. He is born to be a wizard. Facts that are common to him would not be common to her. Harry on the other hand had the being famous disadvantage. Every one in the wizarding world would know what Harry looked like.
The Wizarding War continued after Voldmort's death. Not a soul could have predicted what happened. Hermione had only heard pieces of the story.
Some how Voldermort found port key that dropped him right in the center of a genie castle. He was granted only one wish thought. The wish is not known to anyone but what ever he wished for made the war balance in his favor. He only dead when Wormtail assassinated him. That move led to global hunt for the rat. Some say he chose a new form, others say he lost it and is living as a muggle. A man can only take so much until he goes insane.
Hermione meet the Highlander crew and Draco in the living room. "What are you doing here?" He only looked out the window. "Malfoy I am talking you."
"What? I thought I heard a screech owl in my ear."
"What are you doing here?"
"Setting."
"I can see that. Why are you here in Duncan's apartment?"
"Right now, Granger I am setting on the couch watching you talk to me."
"How long where you planning to stay?"
"Until you walked out of that room."
"It is clear that I am getting nowhere with you."
"Where do you intend to take me, Granger?"
"No where, are you planning to fallow me and for how long if that is the case?"
"Well since you don't want to take me anywhere. I did have plans to fallow you. I have been looking for you."
"So, it is easier to fallow me if you stay in the some room as me?"
"Are you suggesting we move in together?"
"I don't know what you are planning but it will not work."
"What you are planning is must be so much better? Do you have any idea where your boyfriends are today? Oh, look you have three more."
"I am not planning anything. Boyfriends? I am single at this present time."
"No man will ever be good enough, huh, Granger?"
"I don't need tips from you. Where is you lovely wife?"
"Go off, Granger. I don't have to talk about it with you."
"I hit a nerve."
"Since, I don't have anything else to do I am going home."
Granger walks closer to him, "Why not try to kill me?"
"Really Granger? You're death would not be a challenge to me. I might as well chase after Potter."
"What do you want from me?"
"A challenge. You really are thick, Granger. What happened to that girl that hit me in the nose?"
"I am still here."
"I don't see it. I see a scared girl. I did not train to defeat a scared girl good day, Granger."
The man did not know what to say the man clearly is not an immortal. "Wait. If you are going to leave, why not help me?"
"Do what act scared? Would you like to from some sort of group?"
"No, you could join me we could try to help Harry."
"Help him? Why would I do that?"
"You must want something."
"I do,"
"What?"
"My mother's necklace was taken in a raid."
"That will be our first priority."
"It is at the ministry of magic only level 7 personal can enter."
"How do I get a level seven?"
"My guest is to ask someone at the ministry."
"After we find the necklace you will help?"
"Sure."
Malfoy did not have much to live for anyway. His wife had been staked by that crazed Christian lady. Why not fallow Granger to his doom? He glanced at the wedding ring on his hand. How long would he continue to wear that thing?
He only wanted to focus on killing Granger, until he saw her again. Granger did not look like the same little girl that wanted to take on the world any longer. She looked like a woman that needed to be kept from the evil of the world. This fact scared him.
He felt like a monster when he stood in the alley waiting for her to make her move. This is not Hogwarts, they where not little children testing the others strengths. They are both adults that seemed lost.
Granger mentally kicked herself for thinking that Malfoy looked sexier then he did last time they meet. Something about him always seemed a mystery to her but today he looked hansom in a dangerous way.
She glanced down at his finger. So, he is married, she told herself. Oh, well. It is not like anything would have happened between the two of them anyway.
