Chapter 7:
Hurt
Hermione walked around the Manor the next day exploring the whole house. It was huge, she got lost quite a few times and had to call Daisy to help her find her way back. There were rooms in the house so dark that Hermione couldn't stand in, most were in the West Wing, Daisy had told her Malfoy didn't even go in that part of the house much.
"Daisy," Draco called from the living room.
"Yes Master Malfoy?" Daisy asked.
"Get Granger to apparate here," Draco asked.
"Yes Master Malfoy," Daisy did so.
She went to find Hermione who had entered the glass room as Daisy called her. The room was all made of glass, the walls, the chairs. Hermione loved this room. It was gorgeous. Ok the chairs weren't real glass, more like crystal or something, no they are glass, magically prevented from breaking. Duh!
"Miss, Master Malfoy requests you apparate to the main living room now," Daisy said.
Hermione nodded as she apparated to the living room. Draco was pacing, he had his death eater robes on, his mask in his hand. Hermione had to admit she was scared.
"What?" Hermione asked, her voice was low, Draco knew she was afraid of him.
"I have to leave, I don't know when I'll be back," Draco said.
Hermione nodded, "So what…"
"You need to stay away from the West Wing, explore the Manor I don't care, just keep out of that Wing. When I do return, others will want to come here, that's where I'll apparate them."
"Where are you going?" Hermione asked, fearing the answer.
"A mission," Draco replied.
"When will you be back?" She asked.
"I'm not sure," Draco replied. He put on his mask, "Be careful when I'm gone."
Hermione didn't say anything, he turned to face her with her mask on. She shivered. Then he was gone. She was standing alone. For some weird reason she felt scared for him. What did he mean, he didn't know when he'd be back. Where had he gone?

"What's happening?" Neville asked entering the Order headquarters.
"There's been another attack," Harry said. "We couldn't stop it."
"Where?" Neville asked.
"Dean Thomas, his house," Harry sighed.
"What happened to him? Is he ok?" Neville asked.
"Yea we got to him quickly, his dad though…his dad didn't make it," Ron answered.
Neville nodded.
"It wasn't Malfoy," Ginny ran into the room. "It wasn't Malfoy's lot. Malfoy's lot have been spotted at another Muggle hangout. We need to get there."
"Let's go," Harry said to the others.

Hermione looked at the clock, it was six in the evening. Still no Draco.
"Miss you have to eat," Daisy entered the room with a plate levitating behind her.
"I don't feel hungry," Hermione replied. It had been five hours. Where was he?
"Miss, Master Malfoy told me to make sure you were healthy," Daisy said.
"Fine," Hermione took the plate. She played with her food and took a few bites. She was like this when Harry or Ginny or Ron or Neville or Luna went on missions. They were her friends, that's why she worried about them. Why was she like this for Draco? Because I'm attracted to him. Stupid attraction.
She ate a quarter of her meal before heading to Draco's bedroom. She closed the silver curtains she had made. She fell into the bed. She couldn't sleep. She continued to stare at the ceiling for hours. At one point she rand down stairs thinking she heard a 'pop'. But it was nothing. She was more scared then ever. His face kept popping into her mind. The way he helped her cut that grass, the way he looked back in Hogwarts, the way he kissed her…She sighed. This was a deadly attraction and she knew it.

A week had gone, yet Draco hadn't returned.
"The longest Master Malfoy has been away is three weeks Miss, don't worry he'll be back," Daisy said as Hermione took out more books in the library.
"I'm not worried about him," Hermione said stubbornly.
"Of course not Miss," Daisy smiled. "Will you be wanting lunch now Miss?"
"No thanks Daisy," Hermione replied.
"Miss you haven't been eating properly, you'll become ill Miss," Daisy persisted.
"Maybe in a few hours, not now," Hermione smiled. Daisy looked unsure. "I will eat Daisy, later."
"Yes Miss," Daisy smiled and left the room.
Hermione sighed as she slammed a book down. Not only did she not know where Draco was, she didn't have any knowledge of the seventh and final Horcrux.
"Where are you Malfoy?" Hermione asked the air. She wanted to scream, shout. If something happened to Draco, what would happen to her. Voldermort would surely come to the Manor, he'd find her. No one has escaped the Manor, she would never be able to escape. That's the only reason I want him alive, nothing else, no attraction, nothing.
Then she heard it, a 'pop' from the West Wing. Her heart skipped a beat. She opened the library door, house elves were appearing and heading to the west wing. Something was wrong. Hermione knew she couldn't be seen. She stayed where she was.
She could hear voices, angry voices, no voice belonged to Draco. The door to the library opened, Hermione was hiding but her wand was ready.
"Granger," the voice of Snape called. "It's Severus, Daisy told me you were in here."
Hermione slowly showed herself.
Snape closed the door.
"W…what's happening?" She asked him.
Snape noticed the girl in front of him was skinner then she had ever been, she was pale and full of worry, "Draco's been hurt, really badly."
Hermione's eyes widened. Fear erupted through her body.
"There was a fight a few days ago between some aurors, not Potter and your team, the other aurors. There was a fight, Draco was injured. He was left somewhere, no one could find him. Then today, today we found him," Snape said slowly.
"How bad is he?" Hermione asked.
"Very bad, he hasn't regained consciousness, Daisy has put him in the guest bedroom. She said she'd look after him but he needs potions made, I can't make them, the Dark Lord needs me to find a few of the others."
"Will death eaters pop in and out?" Hermione asked.
"No, only me, I've told everyone to stay clear," Snape said.
Hermione nodded.
"I have to leave, no other death eater will enter," Snape repeated before leaving.
Hermione ran down to the hall to the bedroom Draco was staying in. It was huge, everything was red and mahogany. A lot like his own room. Hermione saw him on the bed. He was bruised, there was a lot of blood on him. Three house elves were cleaning the dry blood on his face, but they were having problems.
"Let me," Hermione said.
One of the house elves moved aside. Hermione conjured some cotton wool and used the potion on the bedside table, she slowly wiped away the blood on his face. The elves had bandaged him up, only the face was left. She was being gentle and slowly all the blood on his face was gone. She pushed the silver blonde bangs of Draco's back.
"Daisy how do you know he's hearts beating?" Hermione asked panicking.
"House elves just know Miss," Daisy replied.
"Can't we bring a healer in?" Hermione asked.
"Master Malfoy does not like healers," Daisy replied.
"Typical stubborn Malfoy," Hermione muttered. "Do you mind if I conjure up a few machines."
"No Miss," Daisy smiled. "You don't need my permission Miss."
Hermione nodded, within a second she had a muggle contraction up, it measured Draco's heart beat, the elf was mesmerised with it. Hermione explained to her how it worked, then they both decided they should leave.
"Can I get a house elf to watch him please," Hermione asked.
Out of no where a house elf appeared, "I'm Dipsy Miss."
"Hi Dipsy, I'm Hermione. Can you just watch him please, I need to start making potions."
The house elf smiled and nodded. Then Hermione apparated to the dungeon. She opened up one of the potion books thinking what she should make. She made a list, Blood Replenishing Potion which should restore the blood Draco lost, Bruise Healing Paste, Calming Draught just incase Draco is hysterical later, Murtlap Essence which was like a healing paste to put on wounds and finally a strengthing potion which should help Draco regain his strength.
She started carefully, none of them needed to be kept over night, she made five little bottles of each one and labelled them. She kept the remainder of each potion in each cauldron in the storage room, again being Hermione, she labelled them.
She went back to Draco. He was still the same and his heartbeat was the same. Hermione took some of the Murtlap Essence, she took off the bandages on Draco's ribs, she rubbed some onto his bruised ribs. She had to admit he was fit. Dipsy the elf helped hold the bottle. Hermione then used the healing paste on a burn on Draco's chest, it started to disappear. She knew she could not apply more or the burn would become worse. The elf held open Draco's mouth as Hermione poured some Blood Replenishing Potion into him. She kept the strengthing potion and the Calming Draught in the drawer in the bedside table. The left overs for the three potions she used were placed carefully on top of the bedside table.
"Miss I can stay here tonight Miss," Dipsy said.
"No I think I might stay here tonight," Hermione smiled. She conjured up a small single bed.
"Yes Miss," Dipsy said before leaving.
Hermione changed for bed, and fell asleep hoping and praying Draco would wake up soon.
