The next day Hermione woke up tucked in Draco's arms her husband still sleeping peacefully. She was careful to get out of bed without waking him up. She slipped on her royal blue fur slippers and her matching royal blue fur bathrobe over her night dress. She tied it at her waist in a cute bow. She opened there bedroom door and walked into the hall and down stairs to the kitchen. When she walked into the kitchen Ron and Harry where already started on breakfast she down casted her gaze from Ron and walked to the ice box. As she was there her husbands words where in the back of her head. 'There not your friends they're your servants.' She thought for a minute then turned to them.
"Ronald make me some coffee." She said. Ron scoffed and looked at her. "Why should I?" He asked. Hermione turned and looked at him. "Because I said so." She said "And you have to listen to me." She added. "What are you going to do? Go get your husband to defend you? Some friend you're supposed to be." Ron hissed. Hermione glared at him. "Some friend? Some friend? I THREW MYSELF BETWEEN YOU AND MY HUSBAND GOING AGAINST HIM AND RISKING MYSELF AND MY BABY FOR YOUR LIFE!" She yelled Ron seemed to shrink back feeling bad. Though apparently Hermione's yelling had alerted her mother in law who had been in the den sewing.
"What's going on?" Narcissa asked Hermione looked at her mother in law. "Nothing Narcissa, just Ronald refusing a simple order. I'll have Lucius or Draco deal with him later." She said. Narcissa gave Hermione a smile and told her to just relax and not worry about a thing. After her mother in law left the kitchen Hermione walked over to Harry and took her cup of coffee he had made her and in return pressed a piece of paper into his hand. Without a word she left the room and went back to her room.
When she walked in Draco had woken up and was changing but he was changing into his formal suit. "Darling why are you so dressed up for?" She asked wrapping her arms around his waist from behind snuggling under his arm. She heard her husband chuckle as he gently moved her arms from his waist and turned to face her. "My day today is full of meetings with his lord and other death eaters." He said then his face went serious. "What where you go today and make sure you watch what you say and even how you dress. Even though they all know you're mine and my wife they'll try to touch you in any way they can. If they try to you come get me immediately the dark lords allowed that even if i'm in a meeting if anything happens to you, you come get me immediately afterwards." He said and kissed Hermione's forehead. She just smiled and nodded she then went and changed into her own dress and robes for the day and soon after that they were called down to breakfast. Arriving there Hermione was faced with the most death eaters she'd seen since the battle of Hogwarts. There was at least a hundred of them sitting around the table with the dark lord himself sitting at the head of the table. Even Narcissa looked uncomfortable with the amount of people in her house.
Draco's Arms tightened around his wife's shoulder as they walked up to the table he only let go of her when he went to move her chair for her to sit down before pushing her chair in and taking his seat next to her. Hermione was uncomfortable she had her husband on her left and Bellatrix on her right. She looked down at her arm where she could just barley see mudblood scared on her forearm hidden behind her robe sleeve. That's all she was to these people a filthy mudblood. Ron and Harry came out carrying trays full of food then disappearing in the kitchen only to come back with more trays. They had to make a lot more food than they normally did. Breakfast was full of talk of war plans and torture tactics. Hermione tried to block out the conversation going on around her but it was so hard when her loving harmless husband was joining in on the talk. Eventually Draco noticed the look of pain on Hermione's face. He reached out and took her hand running his thumb over her palm silently calming her. She calmed down and even managed to give him a small smile. Soon enough breakfast was over and Harry came out and cleared the table of all the dishes then disappeared back into the kitchen. Draco his father Voldemort and multiple death eaters disappeared to Lucius' office. And the other death eaters wandered around as they pleased.
Hermione snuck into Harry and Ron's room and locked the door. Harry and Ron were sitting on their beds. "Harry you got my paper." She said avoiding Rons gaze."Yep." Harry answered. Hermione smiled and sat down next to Harry as the two went over the ingredients and recipe for the potion. "Tonight while everyones asleep the potion room will be unlocked. You'll have enough time to brew it. Then take it and hide it in here until the next night then drink it. As soon as you drink it. You run." She said to both of them. She gave them both sad looks. Harry could tell she was going to do something stupid. "Hermione what are you going to do?" Harry asked. Tomorrow night after Draco gets back from his nightly meeting and he falls asleep I'm going to lucius' office, and getting your wands back. Then I'll bring them down here. And before you run. We'll pass our final goodbyes to each other." She said tearing up. Ron looked at her, he'd never seen Hermione cry before really.
It was silent for a while until "Mione." was heard. Hermione looked up at Ron who was looking at her. "Yes, Ron?" Hermione asked looking at him. Ron just smiled and got up and hugged her. He was surprised when she so willingly hugged him back. "Ron I've missed you so much. I miss being friends." She whined. Ron just held her close wishing he could do this all the time wishing it was him who held her every night while she fell asleep. Wishing it was him who had married her. Wishing it was his baby she was having but that wasn't how things were. And Hermione was risking everything to help them escape she was risking a bad beating and being torn back down to a mere slave if she got caught trying to steal there wands back and help them escape. And if Voldemort caught her she was as good as dead. Hermione broke the hug and looked at the time. "You two need to go start on launch his lord has given them all permission to punish you when they see fit."Hermione said looking at them unlocking the door and slipping out on her way to the library to find a book to read in her room until Draco was done with his meeting for the day.
Ron and Harry went to the kitchen and started on lunch for the large group of people. "Are you going to tell her the truth?" Harry asked as they started on making food. "What do you mean?" Ron asked looking at Harry neither of them noticed that Draco had walked in done with his meeting for now. "You know what I mean Ron." Harry said not looking at Ron. "No Harry I can't tell Hermione that I've been in love with her since our fourth year at the I wish I was married to her and that she didn't love that ferret." Ron said.
"What was that Weasle?" They both heard an icy voice say from behind them. They froze and turned around and saw Draco staring at them. "Are you in love with my wife?" He asked, Ron said nothing until he saw Draco reach for his wand. "Yes, yes i'm in love with her." He said Draco chuckled a dark chuckle. "Come on Weasle." He barked. "We're gonna go find my loving wife and you're going to tell her every single thing about you obsession and love for her." He said grabbing Ron by the arm and dragging him upstairs to his and Hermione's bedroom opening the door where Hermione was curled up on the bed reading a book.
"Hermione my dear." Draco said in a sweet loving voice making his wife look up and smile. "Yes Draco, dear?" She asked with a smile until she saw her husbands grip on Ron's arm. "Weasle here has something he wants to tell you." Draco said shoving Ron forward towards Hermione. Ron cleared his throat and looked into Hermione's big brown eyes looking back at him.
"Hermione Granger...I...I've loved you since our fourth year of school. And I wish that instead of Draco you were in love with me, that you had married me, that it was my baby you were having instead of Malfoys." Ron said looking down at his feet. Hermione looked at him in shock. "R-ronald. That is completely inappropriate. I'm sorry but I never have nor will return your feelings." She said looking at him. She still wasn't going to give up helping him and Harry escape Malfoy Manor and their hell they were living in, no matter was this news meant. Ron was still her best friend and was going to help him live the best live he possible could live. Hermione looked down and asked Draco to dismiss Ron back to the kitchen to finish lunch. She looked at Draco after Ron left. "Why would you do that to him?" She asked standing and walking over to him. "Because he needed to know that he'll never ever have you and you needed to know how he really feels." Draco said holding her close to him. Hermione sighed she was going against everything she had ever promised Draco tears welled up in her eyes and before she could stop it she started to cry. Draco immediately noticed this.
"Hey hey hey what's wrong?" He asked taking her chin and making her look up at him.
"Everything. This potential war. My friendships I've had for the past seven years falling apart." She cried Draco rubbed her back as she cried. "I'm so sorry Hermione I wish I could make everything perfect for you but I can't." He said. Hermione sniffled. "It's okay dear. I'm going to go down to the potions room and make something to help me sleep then probably take a nap and skip lunch." Hermione said with a small smile. Draco nodded and kissed her lightly. "I'm needed in a meeting. I'll see you at dinner my love." He said leaving the room as Hermione went down to the potions room in the Manor. She walked in and immediately gathered the things needed to make the potion for Harry and Ron.
A few hours later she had two small vials of the dark purple potion sitting on the table. She sealed them and cleaned up all evidence of her making that potion. She then disappeared to the servants corridors and slipped one vile under Ron's pillow and the other under Harry's. She then walked proudly and as if she had power to the kitchen where the two boys were. She walked up to Harry. "They're under your pillows." Was all she said before disappearing back out into the hallway. As she was walking back she was slammed into a wall. She gasped and looked back at whoever had hit her she saw a male death eater that she didn't recognize.
"What's a mudblood like you doing walking around like you have power and why are you wearing the pureblood robes?" He hissed at her and walked toward her backing her into a corner trapping her from escape. "I-I happen to be married to Draco Malfoy." She stammered. The death eater laughed darkly- He must have been new- "Like Draco Malfoy would marry a mudblood especially you." He said then looked Hermione up and down. Hermione saw the look of lust glaze over his eyes. She had to run, during a split second where he was off guard she ducked under his arm and ran off down the hall. It only took a second for the death eater to chase after her. While she was running from him she wasn't looking where she was going and ran into someone falling back on her ass. The death eater chasing her so caught up only to stop as they both stared scared at Voldemort.
"Y-your, lord." Hermione started only receiving a hand silencing her as Voldemort looked to the death eater who had been chasing her. "What is the point of this?" He asked looking a the man. "The mudblood tried to tell me that she was the wife of Draco Malfoy." The death eater said. Voldemort looked at Hermione. "Mrs. Malfoy may I ask why you were running from him?" He asked "He tried to touch my inappropriately." Hermione said looking at him. Voldemort hummed at this.
"No one is to touch Mrs. Malfoy and I won't punish you I will let Draco do that since it was his wife you inappropriately touched and assaulted." Voldemort said before turning and walking down the hall to his meeting with Draco and Lucius. Hermione turned and looked at the male with a glare in her eyes. "Still want to call me a filthy mudblood?" She asked. The man looked like he wanted to snap her neck. Hermione stood from where she was still on the ground and walked passed him down the hall in the same direction Voldemort had gone in. On her way to the library she passed Lucius' office where she heard the meeting going on. She knew she shouldn't stay and eavesdrop but she couldn't help it she stood outside the door and listened in.
"I want to kill them, both of them tonight." She heard Draco say. "Draco, what good would that do to the war?" Voldemort was heard. "Prevent it. We kill them they having nothing to fight for. No one to free or save." Draco started making his lord chuckle. "On the contrary killing them will only make them want to fight more." He said. "We at least kill Weasley. I don't trust him he's said he has feelings for my wife and the way he looks at her. I want him dead." Silence for a moment. "Very well. Tomorrow at noon you may kill him." The dark lord answered. Hermione covered her own hand with her mouth to cover her gasp. She was quick to run silently down to the kitchens and warn the two.
Harry and Ron were cleaning when Hermione burst in shocking them both. "Hermione what is it what's the matter?" Harry asked. Hermione looked at him clear fear that Harry hadn't seen in her since the war. "Change of plans you're both leaving tonight." She said. "What? What do you mean?" Ron asked. "They plan on killing Ron. Tomorrow at noon if you guys have any chance or want of leaving you'll leave tonight. I've left the potions under you pillows and you're wands are in the top left hand drawer of Draco's desk they've been moved from Lucius' office just in case and I saw Draco put them in his desk one night while he thought I was asleep. Getting them will require you two coming into our room. Don't worry he's a heavy sleeper and if he starts to wake up I'm a light sleeper I'll take care of it." Just as soon as you get your wands. Get. Out." She said in a rush
Both the boy's were shocked at this news they just stared at her in shock for a while before either said something. "Mione, how did you find this out?" Ron asked "I was listening to one of Draco's meetings with his lord." She answered Harry just walked forward and hugged her tightly. She hugged him back and held him close only for a minute though before she let go. She looked down at the floor and took in a breath. "Draco's meeting will be done soon and then me and him are going to diagon alley for dinner just me and him. This is the last time I'll see you both." She said tears forming again in her eyes.
Ron hugged her this time and just like with Harry she hugged him back holding him close to her only for a minute. "You're the best friend I could have ever had 'Mione." Ron said. Hermione smiled "And you're the best friend I could have ever asked for, Ron." She replied hugging him again. She let go and turned to Harry, who smiled at her. "Never lose your spark Hermione no matter what don't let what happens let you lose who you are." He said. Hermione nodded and looked at him going serious. "Never stop fighting Harry, keep fighting this war and don't stop you're the hero you always have been." She said making Harry smile and nod. The three all hugged and said goodbye one last time before Hermione turned and walked out of the kitchen knowing she was leaving behind her two best friends.
She just kept walking until she got to the den and sat down with a book to wait on Draco who showed up only moments later and gave her a smile. "Are you ready to go?" He asked she nodded with a wide smile. "I hope you don't mind." He said as they walked outside "I decided to go by broom this time." He finished as his broom came flying up to them stopping right in front of Draco who got on then helped Hermione get on behind him. Hermione held onto Draco's waist tightly as he took off on his Firebolt and they flew to Diagon Alley they got there in a short amount of time. They got off and walked hand and hand together to Hermione's favorite place to eat on their monthly 'date night' as they liked to call it. Though really it was Voldemort's orders that they show their marriage and show that Hermione still belonged to Draco. That the light side had still lost. But to them it meant so much more. To them it meant time to be with each other and not have to worry about anything going on around them. Not the people who stared or the ones that would ask questions to them. It was there time.
Their dinner this time was short though as Hermione grew tired and Draco irritable from his meetings. But one look at his beautiful Hermione with those big brown eyes glazed over with sleep made him calm made him happy made it seem like nothing was wrong with the world. The left the restaurant and got back on the Firebolt. Hermione held onto Draco again as they flew back to the manor. But when they got back Draco looked over his shoulder at the sleeping Hermione resting against his back. He chuckled lightly to himself and smiled as he picked her up cradling her in his arms as he carried her inside and to their room. Once there he laid her on the bed and pulled out his wand performing a quick clothes changing spell putting them both in their pajamas.
He climbed into the bed with her and pulled the covers over them and pulled Hermione close to him the girl seemed to cuddle against his chest. Soon Draco himself was out like a light and little by little everyone was asleep in the house. Everyone but two boys who silently crept into the kitchen and stole some food. Then as quiet as possible snuck into Draco and Hermione's room. Ron looked over at the married couple that laid cuddled together asleep in the large king size bed. Ron had to admit Hermione looked happy with Draco.
Harry went over to the desk drawer while Ron watched the two sleep making sure Draco didn't wake he was slightly startled at the slight movement of Hermione changing positions in her sleep as she wiggled and cuddled more against Draco. Harry walked over to Ron both of their wands in hand he handed his best friend his wand. Ron took his wand happily and they both turned and gave one last look at their best friend sleeping peacefully in the arms of her husband. Then off they went potions and food in one hand and wands in the other the drank the potion then apperated out of the house back to number twelve grimmauld place.
