Few Hours Later that Night Draco Heard the gates closed and it woke him up.
"Hermoine.. wake up" He whispered in her ears gently. "Wake up Hermoine.. Hurry we must go now!"
Hermoine woke the minute she felt his lips touched her skin.
"To where are we forth to Draco?" She silently asked
"To Where we can be free" Draco took out his wand and whispered some spell that unlockled the door open, He took Hermoine's hand, slowly and silently
they traveled the dark, silent paths to the light.
Hermoine's heart was pumping real fast.
"I wished that I didn't been such a prick to my parents, Being Angry at Ron.. Didn't supported Harry as he find the last Horcruxes,
I wished that I never said those words that made my Father cry." A Mantra that repeats in her head.
She sent out a quiet cry.
"I don't want to die like this" She whispered as her tears fell from her eyes, falling down on her cheeks.
Draco halted when he heard her, turned his back to face her Grabbed her shoulders and looked into her even Darkness surrounds them.
"I am not gonna let you die Hermoine.. Not now.. not with me.. I would rather die than to see you in the hands of death." He said sincerely.
He wiped the drops of tears that remained wet in her cheeks.
"Just Trust Me.. Trust is all I need."
"I will Draco.. I will." She said holding his hand more tightly as they went near the light.
"Lumos" Draco said and from the tip of his wand light it came. "We need to get out of here fast while the death eaters are gone to change posts" Draco explained
"How can we do that Draco? This place is enchanted with spells.." Hermoine worried
"I'm still a Death Eater.. Until I have the Mark on my skin.. I can pass through all of it" He replied "With you.."
Hermoine did not spoke another word as they ran through the woods.
"Mum He's awake!" Ginny cried when she saw Harry's eyes flickered
"Where..Where am I?" He said
"St.Mungo's" Said Fred
"Mungo's?" Harry whispered
"Don't worry, you will be out in a hew Hours Harry.." George said with a smile
Ron came rushing through the doors running.
"Harry!!" He said as he ran to Harry's bed "I thought you will never wake up!" Ron exclaimed
"What do you mean?" Harry said feeling his Arm
"you just been sleeping for a week now Harry! aren't you even hungry?!" Ron laughed
Harry remembered his fight with Bellatrix and Fenrir.
"Hermoine! I got to save her!" He said trying to stand up
"Please Harry.. stay calm. Aurors have been looking for her.. Even Tonks is busy looking for any trace" Ginny said
"She's With Voldemort! Bellatrix told me she is!!" Harry shouted
"Of course Harry.. Death Eaters.. uhm Voldemort.." Ron said
"This is no time for jokes guys! Its Hermoine we are talking about.. Hermoine!" Harry exclaimed
Looks were given to him by Fred and George, Ron stood silent and Ginny's eyes were full.
She looked down.. "I know that.." And walked away
Harry said nothing but followed her with his eyes until they can't reach to see her no more.
"Uh.. What's wrong with..--"
"You know Harry.. We know that Hermoine's life is in Danger.." Said Fred
"Yeah, and we also know that She's your Friend.. Just like ours.." Added George
Harry listened silently looking at the doors
"Ginny and Hermoine are friends too.. And Ginny.. is.. your--"
"I get it Ron.." Harry said with guilt evident in his voice
"you see.. She's still hurting about your.. you know.. what happened.. please don't speak about Hermoine so much when she's around.." Fred said
"Yeah Harry, Even though She can be a nasty brat.. she's still our sister and we care for her.." Ron said
"and she's hurting so much you know.. so leave some space for her.." George added
Harry looked at them.
"I'm sorry, I guess I just caught up with Herm..Hermoine.." Harry said
A Nurse came in holding a piece of paper in her hands
"Pardon my intrusion, But Mr. Harry James Potter is now allowed to go, all necessary bills are already fixed by a giant named Rubeus Hagrid."
Harry smiled
"Hagrid is here?" Harry said
"Yeah He was here hours ago but he received an owl then he left." Ron said
Hermoine and Draco went deeper into the huge forest and saw a cabin.
A very Old Cabin, Its covered by thick cobwebs dusts and insects.
"It all we have.. at least we have your wand." Hermoine said trying to sound hopeful.
Draco who was dying of thirst, drag himself in and sat on a rusty old chair.
trying to catch his breath, Hermoine wandered around and found pieces of blankets in the near table.
"S.S? What in the world could that mean?" She said walking back to Draco
"Aguamenti" Hermoine said holding a glass filled water
"Here Draco this might help"
Draco drunk it, feeling the water that streamed down his thirsty throat
"I needed that a lot.. Thank you" he made a fainted smile come out his over stressed face
Hermoine placed the Blankets she found neatly on the hard wooden floor
"I think we should spend the night here.. It will just be too risky to go and run with no sleep right?" she smiled
"Yeah.. i think so too.." Draco lay himself down "Even though this is really painful for my Back" he smirked
"Oh you brat.." Hermoine laughed and lay herself next to him.
Draco wrapped his arms around Hermoine and looked at her "just to keep you warm" He smiled
Hermoine smiled back and leaned forward, Her lips brushed through his chapped ones, She felt He was cold but He did not resisted any of her moves,
Instead He kissed Her back with passion and lust.
She drew back from their Kiss and rested in his chest.
Minutes Later Draco twisted and Turned clutching the Lower part of his arm.
Screaming in Pain, Hurling and shouting
"Draco! what's happening to you!?!" Hermoine exclaimed trying to calm Draco down, he was screaming so loud and violently
"My Arm! Hermoine Aaaahhh!!" He screamed "It's bloody Burning!!"
Hermoine grabbed his Arm, pushing his sleeve up and saw his Dark mark fading turning into a huge scar.
"Draco.. your Mark.. Its.."
Draco who was dying in pain took a look and saw that his Mark was vanishing, turning into a Huge scar
"We Need to get you somewhere safer! He knows! Hurry!!" Draco exclaimed
Hermoine ran to reach a blanket and covered herself as they exited the Cabin.
They ran deeper and Deeper into the woods until Sunrise.
They stopped over a Huge Tree and sat to take a quick rest.
Hermoine was so tired of running fell fast asleep in his arms.
Draco looked at the sun rises and rayed upon them.
"If i didn't made my choice.. She might be dead now.." He thought
Draco gently touched Hermoine's face and kissed her cheek.
"It will be over soon my love" He whispered and closed his Eyes and fell asleep.
"Ginny.." Harry said
"Yes Harry?" Ginny replied
Ron, Fred and George were sitting in the couch.
"uhm.. I think we need to go now.. We'll see you in an hour Harry.." Ron said "Hurry let's leave!" Ron silently hissed
"Oh I get it.. Yeah see you later Harry!" Fred said as they walked out of the door shutting the door.
Harry took Ginny's Hand
"I'm sorry Ginny.. It's just.. She.."
"It's Okay Harry.. I understand.. you don't have to apologize.." Ginny said sitting down near Harry
"I promise.. When It all Ends.. we will be happy again." Harry smiled
"Yes.. When It all Ends.. I believe in you.." She said
Harry smiled "Don't love someone too much when I'm gone.." He laughed
Ginny blushed "My Heart belongs to only you Harry James Potter" Ginny leaned to Kiss Harry's cheek
"Oi Kid! Hey"
"Huh?! what the?"
"Get up boy!" The Man said to Draco, The Man looked at Draco
Draco stood up, He looked for Hermoine, she not there.
"Hermoine.. Hermoine? HERMOINE!!" He screamed
"SHHH!! Don't scream! you'll wake up every bloody creature in hea'" The Man making a step closer to Draco
Draco Drew his wand and pointed it on the Man
"Don't you dare touch me or I'll--"
"Draco No!!" Hermoine screamed "He's a muggle!!"
Draco drew back his wand and ran up to Hermoine.
"Where have you been?!! I was Worried sick!" Draco exclaimed "Don't you dare do that ever again!"
Hermoine smiled and nodded
"Aii.. you know her Dear?" The Man asked Hermoine
"Yes.." She replied
"Ah.. very well come along now.." The Man said and started to walk "Follow me"
Draco looked at Hermoine
"Who is he?"
"He's Andrew Withmore.. Muggle.. He found me.. Us.. and said that this forest isn't safe for us KIDS"
Draco raised a brow "KIDS huh?" and smirked
Hermoine smiled
"Are you two going to follow or what?" Withmore said hastily
"Coming Mr. Withmore!" Hermoine said
They Followed Andrew Withmore out the Forest until they reached a path to a small town.
Andrew welcomed the two to his home.
"Amelia! I'm home!!" Andrew screamed as they entered the house
"Welcome back.. I'll be there in a second!" A Voice replied not far away from the room, Then A Blonde Haired Woman came out from the room.
"Oh.. and I see we Have Visitors?" She said pleasantly
"Oh Yeah They are.." Andrew looked at them
"Oh.. I'm.. Hermoine Granger and this is..--"
"Draco.." Draco Nodded
"Oh.. what unique kind of names? Well I am Amelia Withmore glad to meet you two." Amelia smiled
"Oh. it's our pleasure ma'am." Hermoine said and smiled
Draco stood motionlessly giving out a faint smile.
"Come in have a seat" Andrew said after taking his boots of.
Draco and Hermoine took a seat on their wooden sofa.
"I saw them in the woods.." Andrew said taking glasses out of the cup board.
"The Woods?!" Amelia took a look at them "you two, you got lost aren't you?"
"Actually we are ru--"
"Yes we got lost..i think. we can't even remember a thing about it.." Hermoine said as she pinched Draco
"Oh..Yeah..what she said.." Draco added
"Poor Poor Children.. I bet your Mum and Dad are worried."
"Oh no we are not--"
"Yes.. Maybe.. they are" Hermoine answered
"Well.. you two can stay here until you remember.." Andrew said kindly
"Thank you Mr. Withmore We are so honored" Hermoine replied
"Oh.. call me Pop, Or Father.. what ever kids call their parents these days.." Andrew laughed
"You see we haven't got any children at all.." Amelia said

"It's alright.. you two are here right? maybe.. you can return us a favor and.. well.. let us be your temporary parents" She said joyfully
"Er.. Sure we would love to.." Draco sneered
At Supper
"Amen" Amelia ended the prayer "Let's eat" She said
Draco and Hermoine started to fill their mouths will the food Amelia cooked for them.
Amelia looked at them and smiled "Finally.." she whispered
"So Uhm.. Father, What and where in the world would this place be?" Draco said trying to act nice.
Andrew smiled, He liked the way Draco called him "Father".
"Well Draco, This is a small town called Merriville located north end side of Europe" Andrew replied withing bites.
"Europe.." Hermoine spoke up
"Why yes.. Hermoine.." Amelia said
"I've never knew that there's a Merriville in Europe" Hermoine added
Draco almost laugh out loud when he heard that, He remembered their First year days.. Hermoine was such a know-it-all.
Hermoine looked at Draco and raised her brow.
"Now kids no fighting in the Table.." Amelia said ever so kindly
"Yes Mother.." Hermoine growled
Draco finished his supper first and waited for Hermoine to finish hers, As they all finished Hermoine took the plates and started to wash them.
"What are you doing Hermoine?" Draco whispered while Hermoine was cleaning the dishes.
"I'm cleaning the Dishes.." She smiled "In order to live normally you got to learn how to do chores" she laughed
"do what?!" Draco said confusingly "In our house we have elves to do those"
"Unfortunately this isn't your house isn't it?!" She said irritatedly
"Well Yeah because My House was Bigger and--"
"You can leave if you don't want to help I'm not asking you to, you know!." Hermoine Hissed
Draco knew she was irritated, He loved the way when she gets angry at him she looks more fierrce and tough.
He wrapped his arms around Her waist and held her tight.
"I'm sorry Luv." He whispered
Hermoine didn't said anything but just smiled
"Can I just be a self centered prick sometimes?" He said laughing
"Well I guess that's really in your gene's so i can't and won't even bother to reject." Hermoine said laughing and half nagging.
"Okay.. I'll accept that for now.." He laughed
