Our Time Has Come

Chapter

3:

Now It Begins

Charlie and Draco have been there for two weeks now, and keeping the twins away has been rather tricky. Bill just told them that Charlie was over he might suspect things so to keep clear. They wanted to argue they didn't since Hermione came them, they didn't see Bill and have a row with him over Hermione. This was all new to them, so they kept their distances. Draco kept wondering why she stays the night with them, of people those two? But didn't really bother him, what she did was his own business. He not about to step on any toes.

Hermione would sit with Draco outside on the beach and they would just talk. Charlie had to assure Bill, that Draco wasn't a threat, and there was very very slim chance he would try something with Hermione. And neither of two knew about Hermiones and Draco's secret from Hotwarts, they plan to keep it that way. Hermione had told Draco that Bill is part werewolf. Draco informed her he doesn't fear a wolves since he works with Dragons. Although that doesn't mean he wasn't on guard, around the wizard. Draco was not stupid, done stupid yes, there is a difference, a big one.

That night Hermione climbed up in Bill's bed they had silenced and locked room thoroughly. Bill was changing out of his clothes, leaving just his blue boxers for the time being. "Love, sickle for your thoughts?" He asked her as he walked over to the be and sat beside her.

"It's just that it's been two weeks and nothing has happened, and that's a bit troubling."

Bill wrapped his arms around Hermione pulling her into him as he kissed her neck. "I agree, but Ronald is the brains of the operation so I mean so I mean I don't expect much."

"Would you take down your own brother?"

"Given the circumstances, he did kill my dad and Percy, so I mean yeah. But id rather put him in Azkaban." He finished then started to kiss her lips, and lean her back while peeling off her clothes.

Charlie wondered into the kitchen to for breakfast, with a hangover from hell. Hermione had handed him a pepper up potion for his head, he thanked her and downed it. Charlie saw from the corner of his eye the toaster was fried. He looked at Hermione and smirked. "You the toaster."

"Yes." He said while drank her coffee.

"Why did you kill the toaster?"

Hermione pointed at Draco. "Huh?" Charlie was confused.

"Simple, he told her there was no way someone could be so fucking manage to accidental fry a toaster, just by putting toast in it, so our lovely 'Mione did what she does best she proved him wrong. So I have to get another Toaster."

"Use magic."

"Tried, no use." Bill said he seemed un-phased about his dead toaster, which Hermione was thankful for, if it would have Fred, the out would have been different.

"I am sorry, I can buy you the new toaster." Hermione offered.

Bill shook his head. Draco spoke up "It was my idea, I didn't think it would happen, I will purchase the toaster."

All eyes on Draco now. "How?" They all asked.

"Fair-point, I'll give you money."

Again Bill shook his head no. "No need. I will take care of it, it's just a toaster, I am just glad she didn't get hurt. Don't have her blow any more things around the house."

Crack

They all turned their heads to the sound seeing Fred and George standing in the kitchen, They didn't notice Draco at first. "I know we agreed but hell when are you able to keep us in line." George said with a smile.

"There is only one person who can us in line, that is 'Mione, she bloody scares us at times." Fred said looking around his eyes caught Draco's. And blood ran cold. As did Georges. They both sent Daggers to Bill, and then glanced over at Hermione who failed to tell them. "Granger, what is going on, where is he here?" Fred asked in a low voice, trying to contain his anger.

"Not what you think."

"Do you know what I am thinking?!" He snapped "Because I don't know what I am thinking or you for that matter!"

Bill got up and grabbed Charlie and pushed the twins into the next room, putting up a silencing charm. While they had no choice to but to fill them in. And while that was going on, Draco and Hermione just sat at the table.

"He has a temper." Draco said.

"That is not the issue I am worried about."

"What is it then?"

"The twins know what happened with you and I in Hogwarts. But they swore to keep quiet, but since I didn't tell them that you are here, I don't know what they will do."

"I am missing a very large in factor in the whole so, I am not going to pretend like I know is going on. And what happened then is no ones business but ours, so don't worry about it."

Hermione groaned "Yeah, yeah sides they don't know the full truth any ways. I told them I was drunk."

"You were not, and neither was I. And what did you tell them it was only once as well?"

"Um-"

"Okay I get it, ashamed I know, but I wasn't. Doesn't matter now unless you want to pick up where we left off."

"No. do you?"

Draco shrugged. "I didn't end us, you did. I know that is not that is not what you asked but that is all I am going to tell you. And I am not going to tell any one so you're safe."

"You're a pain."

"Naturally." He smiled at her, but soon dropped it as soon as every one walked back in the kitchen.

"All good?" Hermione asked.

"Well they're going to keep quiet, if that's what you mean." Bill said simply. Hermione was trying to look at the twin who flat out avoided her glances. They crossed their arms to their chest and looked away from her.

"Oh fuck me." Hermione groaned.

"No thanks." The twins said in unison. That hurt.

"We popped in to steal Hermione, but you know I don't think we will." Fred said coldly.

Bill caught the hurt expression from Hermione. "Oi, stop that!. Don't blame her, it was not her idea! Stop being fucking children!" Bill scolded. Charlie and Draco watched this something was going on, the twins were acting way more upset they should be, and the way they were around Hermione as if she had literally lied to them, Charlie now had a little inkling of what was going on, Draco still wasn't fully on board. No idea, of any of what was going on, but he knew there was massive amounts of tension and he was getting the impression that Hermione was with the twins, on a hush hush bases.

Fred then looked at Draco glaring. "Did you know she would be here!?"

"No, I didn't plan any of this, and I have no idea what is going on between you lot, so stop asking me stupid questions."

Any questions I ask that involve her, are from fucking stupid, I do not want to find out that you were left alone with her for any reason." Fred's voice stern and dark. "Do I make my self clear?"

Draco just nodded thought it best to keep his mouth closed, didn't want to get Hermione in trouble. Fred;s eyes moved to Hermione, chocolate met sapphire eyes. "I am far from happy with you at the mement, so please do nit follow us back..."

"Need time to cool off, and rather not have a screaming fight..."

Hermione stood up. "I don't scare how much you scream, we are talking right now." As she said this she apparated them back to their flat.

"Bill, that wasn't normal, we need to talk in private." Charlie informed.

"Not now." Bill growled.

O.O.O

Arriving at the flat They pulled away from Hermione and started to pace.

"You didn't tell us!, we have a bond!, and you didn't tell us! How do you think that makes us feel, having to him, him of all people with you! Are you mental or something can not see!" Fred went offering

"See what, what are you talking about, there is nothing to see?"

Then George started "I don't think Bill has seen noticed and we are not quite sure how that's possible, but from the look in his eyes, there the same when we look at you, tell us you haven't noticed that!"

"We are very good at reading people even if they aren't doing anything, you are different always very hard to read. I do not like to be lied too and I know you lied about your Malfoy story, I really don't care though, that was in school, you want to hide something, about your past, fine present and future is ours, and much appreciate it if you did not keep things like this from us!" Fred was going in a tangent.

"I am sorry, but I really have no idea what you are talking about, when it comes to seeing something in his eyes. What are you talking about?"

"Baby, he loves you." Fred had stopped pacing and looking directly at her he didn't yell that time. "We don't blame him for that - "

"We don't like it one bit. And Bill should probably know" George finished

"I am sorry."

"You know usually make up sex would be in order but I don't feel like it, so I am going to somewhere." Fred said and apparated.

"I love you, but I have to go keep an eye on him. We will contact you soon." With that he was gone. Hermione started to son as she flooed back home, she went straight to her room laid on the bed and cried.

Draco had watch her storm into her room in a fit of tears, he didn't like that, not one bit. So while Bill was with Charlie at the moment Draco knocked on her door. Soon the door opened reveling a tear stained Hermione. He didn't say anything he just hugged her, as she sobbed into his chest.

"From what I have gathered." He spoke very softly. "You are sleeping with them,and probably Bill too I don't know why all three that is very unlike you, so you must in some sort of bind, just please tell me you haven't slept with Charlie too?"

She giggled. "No, of course not. He's like my brother, that would be wrong."

"Good, So I am going to ask, what are earth on with you, what is with curse heard about?"

Hermione filled him in on what Ron and crazy veela did to her and her parents and about Death Seed curse, and the bond.

"Hm, I didn't he knew that curse, and yes it is known to be un-breakable. And that is the only was to surpress it, he was right about all of that, but before I tell you the other I know, why on earth didn't track my arse down and tell me this? If any one knows dark curses that would be me?"

"You didn't cross my mind at the time, I am sorry I know you didn't want to hear that. I do love them, but what do you know that Bill didn't?"

"There is one way to break it, and I hope you know the surpressing it doesn't last that long, so you are better off breaking the curse, you'll need me do it, so I suggest we leave now, before they get back."

"what-?"

"I need to trust me. And when I say I will break your curse, but you may end up losing the Weasleys, how ever you keep your life, and if they love they will understand."

"Lose?"

"Not death, don't worry do you trust me?"

"Yes."

They apparated.

Just then Did Bill and Charlie walk back into the cottage. Bill smelt Hermione. But didn't see her. He didn't think too much into it, he figured she was safe.

Three days have passed, and there was no sign of Hermione and Draco went missing. Bill originally thought she was with the Twins. Till they showed up that night.

"Oi, where's Mione?" Bill asked looking around.

The twins looked confused. "She's with you." They answered.

"She isn't here hasn't been here since you two three days ago." Bill said starting to panicked

Fred and George exchanged looks "She;s not with us, and if she is not here she could be at mums." George said.

"I checked, she's not there..."said Bill.

"Oi, brothers of mine, any one else notice the brat gone too?" Charlie stated.

Bill growled. "You think he kid-napped her.?!"

"I don't think he did, he has ample opportunity before and never has, what would be the reason?" Charlie started to ponder. "He talked about this witch that he loves but she broke his heart, when I asked who he wouldn't say, when I asked him if he would ever go back to her, he just shrug, he did say that if she ever needed he would be there in a heart beat."

"Why are telling us this, how is this relevant?" Bill asked annoyed.

"Let me finish, he didn;t really interact with the witches at the reserve. I don't know why, they hit on him enough, any ways, so when I brought him here, he did a 180 started to smile and his eyes were all glossy."

"Okay duly noted you pay too much much to a guy, again why are you telling us this!?"

"Calm down, I'm saying he didn't kid-nap her, but he knows where she is, he with her."

"What?"

"She is the witch, obviously, course I didn't much into it first, then I just started to block it out, up until now, so here is my question for you, is there any chance in hell, she knows you fucking screwed her?" Charlie asked his voice shooting venom at the end.

The twins looked at Bill questionably. "Did we miss something, I am literally confused here, what did you do, Bill!?" Fred snapped.

Bill chuckled rather dark. "It's kind of funny how we all have our own little secrets, isn't it. Ever wonder why no body has heard anything about Ronald or the my veela ex? And that Charlie happens to show up, like he does, I didn't know about Draco that was new to me, that through me off."

"You bastard, what the fuck did you two do, why do you want to hurt Hermione so bad?, why fuck would go through all of this?" Fred questioned.

"It's not time yet, so I can't tell you, I will say don't blame Charlie, he is a victim just like you two, he's a handful."

"Damn right I am."

"Shut up, nothing is what is appears be. I will tell you this though as long as she is by his side she is safe, but she wont be the moment she comes back, and she will come back."

The twins were quite dumb founded, they quickly apparated.

"You may be smart Bill, and like you said we all have our secrets, but you don't know mine." Charlie winked and apparated.

"Now it begins." Bill spoke out loud

O.O.O

Three days earlier

They landed in japan in the middle of winter. Hermione pulled from Draco and looked around. "Where are we?"

"Japan."

"Why?"

"Death Seed not a easy to break, but like I said it can be done. But we will need several things, that's why were are here."

Hermione looked up at him, "Why are you doing this any way, and why wouldn't Bill know about this, he's a curse breaker."

"You put your faith in the wrong people, and I not hundred percent sure about your question about Bill, I will find out soon and I will let you know. And to why I am doing this, a lot of people do things for love, not always the best way mind you, hence your situation, I don't want anything from you, I just want to help you. And you can fill me in on everything you have been told."

Hermione nodded. He is the first to say that to her. She had serious doubts on things now. She's very bright, so why is every thing so clouded, 'Merlin this is how Ronald must of felt like Hogwarts' She thoughts to herself. Hermione went with explaining everything, things that were said, and now thinking about all of it, what on earth was she thinking to believe any of that bull-shit.

After she explained it all, she had questions, so many questions. Draco was pissed, not at her, but now he actually had a better idea of what was happening, he now understood why Charlie Weasley got so close to him. Tricky tricky, he knew his job and he wouldn't fail, he couldn't her life literally depended on it.

They stumbled upon old cave in the middle of no where, only to be seen by those who seek the truth in answers. They stepped inside. And a fire magically arose in the middle warming them up. There was nothing around them but rock. "Welcome." They heard a voice but didn't see any one.

"Whose there?" Hermione asked.

The voice chuckled. "No worries, you are safe, no harm can come to you while are in here. I am here to answer your question."

Hermione looked up at Draco. "I need not speak the question you know the answer." He stated.

"Correct, the answers you seek will be revealed in soon to you. Hermione Jean Granger, Nothing is what is appears to be, everything is all backwards, this is was set up on purpose to confuse you, and believe things that you would think possible, your mind is starting to clear up now that you are away from all that confused you. Those around you, some you can trust others you absolutely cannot. You have been slipped a very strong love potion several times, but it'll be out of your system soon, then you will see clearly more. In that love potion was something to trick your mind so you would never see what was directly in front of you the while time, trust those who want in nothing in return but stay away when you are everything. That is all I can tell you, rest here for the night, then carry on, you'll know where to go next." Then the voice was gone.

They sat in front of the fire, staring into it, just thinking. "I have this feeling that you are no dragon tamer."

He chuckled. "You are correct."

"So why were you with Charlie, I have so many questions, but I don't think you would know them."

He looked over at her "I will fill you in when the potion wears on you and clearly think straight, what do you remember about us in Hogwarts?"

"It's a blur, like someone altered a memory, I don't know what's real and what is made up. I don't even know if my feelings I have for you are real or not."

"Here is a fun fact for you can cook. Very fucking well. And never once have to made a toaster explode."

"I have always thought that was weird, actually. I just touch it it explodes, I know how Seamus must feel."

"Agreed. You should get some sleep."

"But my curse..."

He shook his head. "Your curse isn't what you think is, you'll be fine. Trust me."

She just simply nodded, she didn't have much of a choice and she pretty much ran out of the people.

The next day, the snow was gone it was clear and sunny out. She didn't recall having a memory last night, she just slept peacefully. There was a road that they followed, that was showing them the way to go, she no idea where was, and even if she asked, she still wouldn't know. She walked side by side with Draco.

They eventually made their way to a village. It was like they traveled in time, and was in a different era. She thought for a moment till Draco answered her. "Everything is controlled by magic, and magic has it's secrets, which is what we need. You can't stumble upon these place's by accident, and you can't seek them out, unless you don't know the answers."

"That's confusing."

"Well, yeah. It's makes since though, you don't know the answers anything that's been happening, so that is why are shown the way."

"You have no idea where we are going do you?"

He shrugged. "No, I don't but I know what I am looking for"

Hermione sighed. "Every thing is clouded nothing makes since, and everything I thought I knew and I felt is blue a blur so I am trusting you, I don't know if I should, I find my self doing it any ways."

So far in the village they met with an old witch, she placed a necklace upon Hermione telling her to hide it, it will shield it's self and protect her from potions and spells anything can be used to harm her in any way, that goes along with being deceived. They turned around to exit the village but Hermione had turned back to ask a question but the village and it's were gone. "Um Draco."

"I know, it's gone, come on." He started walking she followed suit. She had walked for what seemed like forever, but she wasn't tired, hungry or thirsty. Things began to slowly clear up. She started to think about her parents, but when got the image of them, instead of seeing them tortured and dead she saw them at home cooking dinner laughing and smiling, she felt warmth inside.

"Draco?"

"Hm?"

"My parents, they aren't dead." She stated.

"Nope. Keep thinking, should be more you notice than just that." She did just that, she started to think back of her memory with Draco, that was modified They weren't in Hogwarts, this was last year, they were together, they were happy. And Harry was there, he wasn't dead she remembered she was walking to meet Draco at the tavern one night she was hit over the head every thing went black, and when she woke up she was living a lie.

"How long did it take you, to find me after I didn't show up for our date that night?"

"Not long, as I know you remember Potter is far from dead, nice cover up though. He's a pushy sod, good thing though because you found you, very fast, but had made to forget , every thing, I'm still un aware of who all is involved, and I don't know the reasoning behind it all, fucking pissed me off though.. keep doing what you are doing, love."

"I'm sorry, I didn't know any of this."

"I don't blame you, this is not your fault, none of it."

"But I cheated on you."

"No, you didn't. Because you were not you. You'll see, and it just worse, I'm here if you need me."

They next day more and more memories flooded back and truth behind the lies and the people who she thought, she was forced to think any ways, none of it was real. Lied to, drugged, given multiple potions, every thing you think of was used on her. They planted false feelings, false memories, they had molded her into something they wanted. Harry was alive, Ron and Fluer were not doing what the others had said. Arthur and Percy were alive and living else where. The only two who that were in the equation that perfectly innocent were the twins, they were being fed the same shit she was. Everything became so clear, nothing was what it seemed, indeed. She was merely a puppet, she thought back to back to the twins, she had to get them out of there. And the fact of the matter there was no curse, it was just to fool her. Hermione stompted her foot, and pointed her wand some trees blowing them all up with one spell. They wouldn;t let her cook, lied to her say she burnt everything, so that they could continue feeding it to her, she then realized that Draco was always around her, watching her, being careful what he said and how he said it, he also kept an on Bill, he wasn't spooked by him he was pissed he wanted to kill him, but he had to fool every one, just to get to her.

"FUCKING HELL!" She screamed, Draco turned and looked at her. "I remember everything, but I don't understand why though."

"I really do not know, but we need to get back, there are people who have missed you, besides from me."

Hermione nodded she pointed her wand at her neck that mark was at focusing on a spell, with out words, she healed herself, as though it was never there. "Fortunately for me, he is only part, and since I was drugged and spelled it technically does not count." She smiled at Draco. He wrapped his arms around her, she pulled him in a kiss, as they disapparted.
