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!

Chapter 16

The Order sat on the kitchen of Grimmuld Place waiting for the Headmaster to arrive. Whilst being allowed to look around the room of the kids they noticed that there were receipts to tattoo parlours for a removal of a tattoo on the base of their necks.

The odd thing was they went several times a month when out of school and they noticed they both ordered a removal potion specially designed for the skin after a letter asking if they required any arrived at the school.

It wasn't until the middle of June and spending excruciating months searching that they got a lead at all. Dumbledore walked in wearing blue robes and looked over them. The looked at him, the twinkle in his eyes was their, for once. After the kids ran away he rarely twinkled, and with the war he didn't twinkle much anyway.

"We found out about a missing persons report taken down after he was found. It seems it is young Mister Malfoy, however no news about Hermione." He said.

"Where is Mister Malfoy now?" Sirius asked.

"I tried to find out but all I could find was some military order which makes no sense. I currently have people researching this order and trying to make some sense of the situation." He said. Feeling a little better than he had in months Snape walked from the room wondering what trouble his Godson and Miss Granger had gotten themselves into.

Anai stood in the kitchen making a sandwich. There was now a constant ache in her chest. Walking toward the table, she was now permanently at Logan's and Max practically lived there with her; Zack was off somewhere trying to find out information about Zan.

Anai froze when she felt a strange liquid running down her legs. Gasping she sat down and screamed for Logan who wheeled in.

He looked shocked and went to call Max and Bling to come over before Anai latched onto his hand.

"Anai, I am going to help you into your room and get you into something clean and into bed." He said and then they headed there.

"Logan, I'm early though. I'm not due for another 2 weeks. Aaaahhhh!" She ended clutching her stomach as a contraction hit her.

Zack walked in wanting to tell his younger sister good news, which he had. When he came out of the lift he heard sobbing and screams. Fear hitting him he ran into the spare room to find Anai laid their in labour.

She was sweating despite having very little on; he face was screwed up in pain. He sighed and ran to help her, he hated to see her in such pain, but he couldn't exactly help to take it away.

15 hours later Anai gave birth to a healthy baby girl despite the baby being 2 weeks early.

Anai drifted off and Zack was left holding the baby girl.

"I'm an uncle." He whispered. A feeling of joy rushed through him and he handed the bay to Max as a determined look crossed his face.

"Max, I need to check some things about my lead, I need to now whether I can tell her if I can get Zan back safely. I couldn't bear to break her heart now." He said. Max nodded and hurried away to clean and dress the baby.

Zack headed for the door silently praying he would return with good news.

Three days later Zack came in smiling.

"I found him."
