Running, Always Running- Hermione Granger is not a normal witch; she is not fully human even. Hermione or Anai as she used to be known is a transgenic made by Manticore, a government agency intent on building the perfect solider, a perfect weapon. Now Anai is looking for her love Zan, but what happens if he's already at Hogwarts? And what if Donald Lydecker has infiltrated Hogwarts? (Set in Seventh Year of Hogwarts!) Doesn't follow Order of Phoenix storyline onwards!
Sorry for the slow update! Hope you like it, I made it extra long to speed up the story, I am aiming for about 15 Chapters. I combined the ideas for Chapters 9, 10 and 11 together since I figured you would all need a peace offering since the update took so long.
I do not own any thing, Harry Potter and dark Angel belong to there respective owners.
Chapter 9
Anai met Zan where she suspected he would be, by the restricted area.
"Zan?" She whispered. He turned and smiled at her.
"Hey Anai, what's up?" He asked as he gave her a quick peck on the cheek.
"I found out something, Lydecker is at Hogwarts, he's helping teach Defence Against the Dark Arts." Zan frowned.
"Anai, we must keep quiet and act as normal as possible around him or he will suspect." He told her, Anai nodded. She gave him a kiss.
"I better head back to the Weasley's or they will worry." She turned to leave when she heard Zan whisper.
"Tell me if he hurts you Anai and I will snap Lydecker's neck." She smiled, he would always protect her.

During the holidays one table sits in the Great Hall for the teachers and guests to eat at.
Dumbledore requested that Draco and Hermione sit together at the table and try to act civil towards each other.
They were actually having a laugh insulting each other but adding secret meanings to what they were saying and only someone who was another X5 would have the intellect to figure out what it meant.
Ron and Harry kept glaring at Draco whenever he made a comment about Hermione not knowing that Draco kept stroking Hermione's hand under the table and they were actually sat closer than they usually did.
Ginny on the other hand kept smiling at Hermione who smiled back and rose and eyebrow whilst giving her the message 'tell and die'.
Draco kept on seeing these looks and deducted that she might have told Ginny something.
The adults at the table apart from Fred and George since they were children disguised as adults realized that Draco and Hermione both seemed more relaxed towards each other.
They even entered the hall at the same time even though they were arguing they could tell something was different between the pair.
Severus Snape was disgusted at the show the two students were putting on. Draco would smirk but instead of glaring back at him Granger would just smile sweetly at him.
Draco's face would stay the same but his eyes showed a mixture of emotions towards Granger including love, Severus couldn't have being sure he saw that but he felt he did.
Dumbledore's eyes shone as he felt the love between Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger. Who would have thought they would fall for each other.
Dinner finished soon and the Weasley's flooed home along with Harry, Sirius and Remus.

For the months to come it was bliss for Hermione and Draco. Being head boy and head girl was just to easy for them to come up with legitimate excuses to spend time together.
No-one suspected that they were having a relationship.
Hermione went through heat and they spent an awful lot of time together during that time.
Draco could still remember the way they moved that night and still had marks from her biting and scratching him, Anai also had bite marks on her. That night was amazing, since they let there animal DNA take over.
Remus Lupin had returned for the year to teach Defence Against the Dark Arts after popular demand from students and parents.
Lydecker was a squib that knew martial arts and had 'taught' children before. When the full moon cam he would teach the basics of fighting to them. He also had started a club once a week for everyone that wanted to learn more about martial arts.
Draco and Hermione never went after all they already knew how to fight and it was way to easy to get out of going, and they had to lie beneath the surface so they didn't get caught.
Halloween came and went and the castle went into a festive mood over December. Five weeks before Christmas break Zan walked into his common room to find Anai laid on the floor.
Zan ran over to her dropping his bag as he went. He did a quick medical check but found no reasons he couldn't move her. He scooped her up gently and carried her to his bedroom and tucked her up in his bed.
He then got a glass of water and made her drink some by sitting her up and massaging it down her throat.
He was in two minds about calling Madam Pomfrey, he wanted to know what was up with Anai but it could also expose them as transgenics.
He sighed and found it better just to sit and wait.
He didn't go to classes or to dinner, he summoned a house elf to bring some food for him and Hermione.
He nibbled on it for a while hoping the smell of food would wake her. She started to stir much to his relief.
"Anai, honey, are you okay?" He whispered.
"Water." Anai croaked.
Zan picked up the water and helped her sip it until she had had enough to drink and was able to talk.
"What happened sweetie, are you unwell?" If Anai was ill it would be something terrible since they couldn't get ill by normal methods.
"No, I don't think so, one moment I was walking around collecting my school books up and the next things went black and then I was here." Anai answered truthfully. Draco sighed and pulled Anai into a hug.
"We'll find out what happened together, okay?" He whispered, feeling her nod against his shoulder. He just hoped it would not be too serious.

Over the two weeks Draco noticed Hermione got more and more tired and she had strange cravings for weird foods and she was always mopping around there dorm. It just wasn't normal for an X5 to get weak.
At the end of the week Anai arranged a romantic meal and said she needed to tell him something. He put on his black jeans Anai bought for him and a black silk shirt that she also bought for him.
He sat down with a book until Anai came out of her room. She was wearing a knee length black dress. She also had a silver locket with an A and a Z on it, Zan had bought it for her. Her hair was straight and fell down her mid back. She looked radiant.
They ate there food in candle light and Hermione gave him a bag with something inside it.
"I found out why I have being so weak lately and it's not all that bad." She gestured to the bag.
He pulled out a baby blanket.
"Anai…" He whispered. She smiled tears already running down her face.
"Yes Zan?"
"Is it true, are you…" he trailed off and looked up. He could tell she was worried about his reaction.
"Yes." Her voice was barely above a whisper.
His face broke out into a smile and he pulled her into a hug.
"I never thought I could be this happy." He murmured to her. He felt her sob into his shoulder.
"What's wrong?" He whispered.
"Lydecker…. The baby…… Voldemort…. Manticore." This was what he managed to here through her sobs.
"Anai, I will personally take out anyone who tries to hurt you and our baby." He told her. She smiled and hugged onto him harder still crying, but from happiness.
He lifted her up and she looked into his eyes, the fire light dancing over there forms.
"I love you Anai."
"I love you too Zan." He kissed her gently and felt content for that night.

The next day was the weekend and in two weeks the Christmas holidays started. Zan planned to be gone by then. He planned to prepare this week and be gone Friday morning. He just needed to make preparations or he would of left straight away.
The plan was already forming in his mind.
He was currently sat at his desk whilst Hermione lay sleeping in his bed. He was writing a letter to Gringotts to withdraw some money and have it converted to muggle money so they had some money.
He also decided to transfer some money to a muggle account in secrecy. He wanted to be prepared for Friday. He also had requested some muggle maps from Flourish and Blotts and was deciding where they would head to.
He wanted to be prepared for everything. He also was planning on what he would pack; after all he wanted to pack light and didn't want many robes only muggle clothes. He always preferred muggle clothing compared to wizarding robes, they were better for fighting in.
He chose certain belongings he wanted to take with him. The newest addition was a photo album that Anai had made for him. Inside was a selection of pictures of him and Anai hanging around there rooms, he smiled down at the pictures. He was amazed that he had found her.
He sighed and put his letter inside an envelope and wrote the address on it. He gave the letter to his owl and watched it fly off.
"Where running, always running." He whispered.

Hermione felt terrible over the next week. Ginny was observant to know something was wrong but she didn't voice her opinions.
Hermione wanted to tell Harry and Ron she was leaving but she knew that for the safety of her boyfriend and unborn child she would have to stay quiet.
She knew that if someone asked her to choose between her friends or her love and child she would pick the second one a hundred times over.
Thursday night she had done all the homework she had being assigned, after all she wouldn't be happy if she hadn't completed it before she left, and she had packed up some clothes and possessions.
She packed her photo albums one was a replica of what she had made for Zan and the other was one full of photos of her adoptive parents and her friends. After all she didn't want to forget them and she wanted her child to know what they looked like in case she never saw them again.

At 3.00 AM Draco left his room and woke up Hermione, they had an hour before they had to leave, he would of woke her later but she was getting weaker and he didn't want her wearing herself out by rushing to get organised.
He placed there bags in the living room area whilst Hermione showered and once she was out he got showered and dressed himself. He had asked for a house elf to bring up some breakfast at half past 3.
They ate quickly and put on there jackets they had purchased last month when they had snuck out of the castle for the day to a muggle shopping centre. Hermione's coat was knee length and black, it was thick and he hoped it would keep her and the baby warm; his was similar but didn't go down to his knees.
They put on their back packs and snuck out of Hogwarts. They walked for half an hour before turning around. They could see Hogwarts in all its glory, with many turrets and towers.
Hermione let out a sob and Draco wrapped an arm around her shoulders. He knew how she felt; they had just left the place they called home for seven years.
They turned to each other and Hermione took hold of his hand and they walked away from Hogwarts hand in hand towards there new life together with their child.

Harry woke up Friday morning feeling empty. He didn't know why and decided to ask Ron how he felt. Ron was feeling the same, as if something important was missing. Ginny also felt the same way.
He got the mirror out that Sirius gave to him to see how his Godfather felt or if it was just them.
"Sirius…. Padfoot…. SIRI!" He laughed as Sirius's face came into view clearly annoyed.
"Yes, what does my godson want at this unholy hour?" Sirius asked, it was a well known fact Sirius wouldn't move from his bed until noon at the earliest.
"Hey, do you feel empty this morning?" Harry asked. Sirius looked thoughtful.
"As a matter of fact I do, I could use some bacon sandwiches around about now." His godfather mused. Harry sighed; sometimes Padfoot was too oblivious for his own good.
"No not like that, like something is missing! Something important!" Harry explained.
"Nope, nada, zilch, I feel fine, nothing is missing from my world to my knowledge." Sirius said. Harry sighed.
"Well, that's helpful!" Harry whispered sarcastically. Sirius frowned.
"Fine, if you don't want my help I'll just go back to sleep, after all why would you want my help! Your dear OLD godfather…" Sirius continued to rant on.
"Padfoot I'll check in with you later you drama queen, bye!" Harry laughed.
Ron and Ginny suggested to that they ask Hermione which is how they found themselves missing breakfast to find her.
They entered her dorm rooms they came to silence, they could usually hear something, like the shower or the fire. But the fir wasn't lit; the room was cold and silent.
Ginny had run into Hermione room to find her possessions missing.
"GUYS!" Harry and Ron ran into the room looking around and found half her clothes missing.
Harry ran and knocked on Malfoy's door, after receiving no answer he opened the door and peeked his head round.
What he found was shocking Malfoy's room was in the same condition as Hermione, half his possessions were gone and after checking the draws he confirmed that most of his clothing was gone.
Harry, Ron and Ginny promptly contacted the headmaster. The order was contacted and the teachers asked if they knew anything. Little did they know that alerting one presence within the castle would be disastrous.

Albus Dumbledore for once in his life was stumped, he had no idea why Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger where missing.
He knew that of course they where dating, but he had no idea why they left.
00000
Professor Snape was worried for his godson. Draco had run away with Granger for some reason.
He had realized something was happening between them, but he didn't realize that it was serious enough for him to feel the need to take Granger with him.
He just hoped they were okay.

Donald Lydecker was a dangerous man. He once had control over the most gifted kids ever. Designed by the best they were America's secret weapon, the perfect weapon, and the perfect soldiers.
He had it made.
Then it all came crashing down. In 2009 his best children escaped. Ever since he had being in charge of tracking down the children. He had found some at another magic school do decided to infiltrate Hogwarts.
He was in luck. He found two of his own kids. Zan and Anai were the names he remembered that they gave each other names, after all only he from Manticore would know that.
Then his plans once again crumbled when Dumbledore came and told him that the same two kids had run away from Hogwarts.
Now it was his job to chase them down.
His words echoed in his head from that night everything went to pot.
It's my responsibility. Shoot them.
It was true, if any one found out that they existed they would never survive. He was here to take them back to Manticore to protect them from the dangers they weren't ready to face.
He would find them and if they resisted he would force them back there.

He nibbled on it for a while hoping the smell of food would wake her. He stuck the picke sandwich, which he had been eating, under her nose, accidentally shoving it in her nostral. She started to stir much to his relief.

"I found out why I have being so weak lately and it's not all that bad." She gestured to the bag.
He pulled out a baby blanket.
"Anai…" He whispered. She smiled tears already running down her face.
"Yes Zan?"
"Is that a dog blanket? ARE WE GETTING A DOG? YAYAYAYAYAY" Screamed Zan excitedly.
----
"What's wrong?" He whispered.
"Lydecker…. The baby…… Voldemort…. Manticore..Spiders...Basement...Bears...Lions...MOULDY CHEESE!" This was what he managed to here through her sobs.
