Chapter 8

Hermione opened her eyes upon hearing the sounds of screaming and shouting around her, she lay next to the bar in the same place where she had been knocked out cold, she tried to move grab her wand but her hands were tied tightly together and her wand was nowhere near.

The room was a mess, food was thrown all over the floor and tables and chairs had been thrown over, some of the mirrors on the ceiling had broke leaving shards on the floor, there were snapped wands, it was a complete jumble and Hermione knew exactly who to blame.

"Harry POTTER!" There were only a few people left in the room now, a few Aurors and Draco who also tied up, looked evilly at Harry who punched him in the face. "Stop!" Hermione got up from the floor and walked with her hands tied behind her back towards the group shouting, "who the fuck tied me up! Undo me right now!"

Harry walked towards Hermione; "I did it for your own good, you went mad." he untied the rope and moved her closer towards Draco whose nose was bleeding and eye puffy; they were literally beating the crap put of him. Harry gave him continuous swings at his face and Draco to Hermione's surprised managed to keep his cool.

Hermione could hardly watch Harry hitting him so she told him to stop; "let me have a go." she bent down and to the shock of all her other colleagues wiped the blood from his face and gave him a flutter of a kiss on his lip; "I'm so sorry," she whispered tears pushed out of eyes, that stared into Draco's so passionately; "I'm sorry this is all my fault I should have left while I had the chance."

"No need to be sorry, you have nothing for me to forgive," she stroked her fingers across Draco's cheek and kissed all his wounds making sure that none of the blood went into her mouth.

Their foreheads were now touching, every auror looked on in complete confusion as a muggleborn spy and illustrious deatheater were showing each other love and affection. Hermione leaned in for one more kiss when Harry pulled Hermione away and said to himself; "As for this one." He turned towards Draco and punched him in the jaw; "what did you do to Hermione!"

Hermione pushed Harry and was about to jump on him again when her colleague Seamus grabbed a hold of her; "DON'T TOUCH HIM! HARRY, HE'S DONE NOTHING WRONG!" she fought her way out of Seamus's grip and punched Harry in the face again; "DON'T YOU TOUCH HIM AGAI-" Seamus grabbed a hold of her again and cuffed her hands straight away

"BEING A DEATHEATER ISN'T WRONG TO YOU ANYMORE IS IT HERMIONE!" Harry turned to Draco. "You are under arrest."

"ON WHAT GROUNDS!" she shouted, he began to pull her hands out of the muggle cuffs that were always a little too big for her.

"Murder, treason against the ministry and kidnapping."

"HE DIDN'T KIDNAP ME!"

Harry turned to Draco and kicked him in the face; "YOU SICK BASTARD! YOU CONFUNDED HER!" He kicked him in the face again.

Draco spat blood and a tooth out onto the floor and sent a grin towards Harry H.is mouth was covered in blood and his fangs began to show. "Oh shit," Hermione muttered, somehow she could sense what would happen next. Draco's eyes were turning dark, his skin paled, but something different was happening something that had never happened in her presence before, she could see something pushing out from his shoulder blades. "Oh My God." she whispered, Hermione's eyes widened as she saw wings rip through his shirt and spread out at least seven feet. "DRACO!" She screamed as Seamus began to pull her away from him; "RUN DRACO GO!" her hands were free and she began to run towards Draco.

"Get vampire hunters here. Now!" Harry shouted as he too ran across the room with everyone else away from Draco. Seamus grabbed Hermione again and dragged her along with him, she tried hard to stay with Draco, but Seamus was much too strong for her this time, her tears cascaded down her face, as she watched Draco. He flapped his wings and began to leave the ground.

"DRACO!" Hermione screamed but he raised himself completely off the floor and flew out through one of the side windows Seamus let her go and she tried to run after him; "Draco!" Hermione screamed running towards the window even though she knew it was no use he had already gone. He was now going to fly away as a danger to himself and everyone around him, he needed to feed and people were going to die tonight.

"Get those hunters now Lovegood! Tell them to search the airs for a Transylvanian vampire and say to shoot –"

"No!" screamed Hermione and tackled Harry to the ground. Harry turned her over and pinned her down; "HE HASN'T DONE ANYTHING WRONG YOU HATE HIM YOU HATE HIM!" she cried endlessly upon the floor for Draco and for herself.

"Lovegood go! Longbottom go get Virginia Weasley and tell her to find room for agent Hermione granger in St. Mungo's." Neville apperated immediately "Chang pass me my cuffs from my back pocket." Hermione tried to push Harry off her but he carelessly pushed her back down.

"You don't understand" she screamed out; "Draco isn't a bad person, please Harry listen to me It's me Hermione, Harry Listen to me stop this! STOP IT!" she began to cry, Hermione lay her head down and turned to look towards the window; "please don't hurt him he doesn't want to be like this. He's miserable."

He didn't make any move to show that he had listened to a single word that she had just said. He pulled up her right arm and cuffed it but stopped before he did the left one and pointed at the bite marks on her arm; "would a good person do this to you," he cuffed the other arm and left her on the ground.

"It's not his fault!" she shouted in vain "he can't control himself"

CRACK

The small form of a woman with bright red hair apperated beside her and Harry she was wearing her MDI uniform (a medically distinguished individual.) "You called Harry? Neville said Hermione was in trouble."

Harry sighed a breath of relief and got off Hermione; "Ginny thank god you're here. We need Hermione to be checked over. I believe it might be a confounded curse. She's been saying that Draco Malfoy is a good person and it turns out that he is no longer human which will mean that we must have him executed; sometimes the things they would do to make themselves powerful make me sick. You know what I mean Gin? I mean look at Voldermort, Merlin and now Malfoy, makes me sick to the stomach. And you know what else I think he has given her love potion, she was kissing him and was even protecting him from harm. Risking her life!"

"I'M NOT CONFOUNDED AND THERE IS NO LOVE POTION YOU STUPID IDIOT! LISTEN TO ME PLEASE!"

Ginny nodded; "Alright Harry. I'll take her to the hospital right away."

"No Harry! There is nothing wrong with Draco please don't hurt him!"

Ginny pulled Hermione upright and apperated away with her.

Hermione landed face flat upon a carpeted floor, which confused her; the hospital floors were made from slate. Hermione got up and looked around the room, fireplace, window, and comfortable settee 'this is definitely not the hospital.' "Ginny? Where are we?"

Ginny pulled Hermione to her feet and answered with a smile; "my apartment it's been a long since we last met, and since then I've moved out and brought myself this, great isn't it? Get to be away from the hassle of the borrow." She pulled out a bottle of butterbeer. "Want one?"

Hermione smiled and took one too; "Thanks." Ginny popped the lid off hers and pointed her wand at Hermione's and her lid popped off too.

They both sat there silently sipping at their drinks when Hermione asked; "Why did we come here though? I thought I was meant to be going to the hospital because I'm confounded." She said the last part sarcastically; she felt tears trying to pop out, 'where is Draco now?'

Ginny scoffed and answered; "I know there is nothing wrong with you. You're the same Hermione I saw two months ago. I brought you here for two things one you'll be safe from Harry and two I want to know is what happened while you were missing."

"Well, I was a hostage at first and Draco kept me locked up in some room for two weeks but when I became ill he called the doctor for me and tried to nurse me back to health, and me being the bitch that I am made him angry, so he bit me."

Ginny burst out laughing and proceeded to choke on her butterbeer. "He bit you? That's a bit girly isn't?"

Hermione lifted her arms and Ginny gasped when she saw the two bite marks on her arm. It now looked like two purple ditches embedded in her arm that looked like she had been bitten by some kind of dog.

"He's a vampire!" Ginny exclaimed; "Harry said he wasn't human anymore!" she sat down her drink and leaned in to take a closer look

Hermione nodded rubbing her wrists. "He's not a bad person either, I swear! After he bit me he became really guilty about what he did. He doesn't want to be a vampire Ginny! You have to believe me! He never wanted anything like this to happen!" Hermione burst into tears again "now they're going to kill him!"

Ginny held Hermione in her arms in an effort to calm her down, she took the drink out of Hermione's hands; "shh... We'll think of something to solve this. Is there a counter to being a vampire?"

"Yes" Hermione sniffed "but he won't do it. He doesn't want to kill me" she fell into another breakdown.

"Kill you? Why would he do that?"

"Because the only way a vampire can turn human again is if he were to stab the person he falls in love with through the heart with a silver dagger. It's the curse of the vampire to live alone for the rest of your life mortal or immortal, or he could have another vampire turn me into one."

"He loves you?" she exclaimed, Ginny sat her down on the sofa, Hermione remained standing in front of her.

"Yes" Hermione, cried "and I love him too." She grabbed Ginny and fell on her knees in front of her; "please don't let them kill him!"

Ginny hated Hermione looking so desperate so she nodded; "come on go to sleep so we can start to figure out what we can do for Draco. Ok?"

Hermione nodded "I don't think that I'll be able to sleep to night."

Ginny got of the settee and transformed it into a bed for two people to make it nice and comfortable for Hermione to sleep in. She picked up a green bag and gave Hermione a vial full of a smoking potion.

"Dreamless sleeping potion." Ginny said, as she handed it to Hermione. She got up from the floor and sat on the bed, and taking the potion out of Ginny's hands she gulped it down. Instantly she was sleepy and she laid down and fell into a deep sleep.

Ginny covered her with a blanket. And went to the fire place calling out "TRISTAN DAVIS!" within minutes in the flames lay the head of the Hogwarts headmaster; "Tristan I need your help."

Tristan looked up at Ginny, "I'm coming round." With a loud crack Tristan appeared in the sitting next to Hermione who lay in her enchanted sleep; "what's wrong?"

"It's not about me it's for her." Ginny pointed at Hermione; "We have got to get Malfoy back to her or at least do something to help him. Harry has got vampire hunters after him trying to have him killed."

"Malfoy's a vampire?" Ginny nodded; "this really makes things very difficult for us, there is not many things that can save a vampire from death unless they are in Transylvania or in parts of the Carpathian mountains, the British don't seem to like them a much as they do, Gin I don't know what I can do for you?"

"Trist please think about it, please! You should have seen Hermione before I put her to sleep she was distraught, looked as though she had seen the end of the world." She put her hand on his cheek and looked into his eyes with a tiny smile; "please try."

Tristan nodded and said; "I'll see what I can dish out tonight, I'll try my best ok Ginny. You know that you're the only person I would do this for?" she nodded; "well I'll get to work now and see what I can find for you." He gave her a tiny kiss on the cheek; "night."

"Night Trist" and he left, the man who at times was the man of Ginny's dreams. She waved away the remaining smoke from the apperation and went to her bed room and put on her pajamas. She pulled the covers of her bed down and crawled in pulling the covers back up to her chin. She lay there thinking about what she would do if she was in Hermione's situation.
