Ok let's get on with this!
Chapter 16: Or Tails!
Ron was awakened by a loud screeching coming from the window. He sat up and looked around. What was that? , he walked to the window and opened it. Suddenly Omen bursts in and perched on his bed. He jumped back, "Bloody hell!"
Omen dropped the letter on his bed and flew away. "Wasn't that Malfoy's pet?" Ron scratched his head and picked the letter up. He ripped the envelope open and saw Hermione's handwriting, A letter from Hermione? I wonder what's it for? Maybe she's apologizing. He slowly opened the parchment,
Dear Ron,
I'm going to be away for a while.
Don't worry I'm safe.
Please don't look for me.
I'm coming back soon.
I left your gift on my bed.
Merry Christmas!
Love,
Hermione
Ron folded the letter back. She went away, but with whom? Could it be? Malfoy?! How can she do this to me! When I find her we are going to have a long talk. Ron threw the letter on his bed and changed. I have to find Harry and borrow the marauder's map. If she's in Hogwarts I will find her.
Ron left his room and walked to the Gryffindor common room to look for Harry.
Harry woke up waiting for Hermione. Dammit! I fell asleep! Harry stood up but fell back down. His legs were numb because he slept on them. "Shit!" he cursed. Several Slytherins glared at him as they walked by. He tried again slowly this time holding on to the wall for support this was when he noticed the open door to Draco's room. If I could just get in. The invisibility cloak, right, I left it in my room. Harry slowly made his way to his room. That's when he literally bumped into Ron. They both fell flat on their butt.
"Ouch!" Harry groaned rubbing his back.
"Harry!" Ron called.
"Yeah?" he asked, pulling himself up.
"Can I borrow the map?"
"Have you seen Hermione?" Harry asked hurriedly.
"What?" Ron replied.
"Have you seen Hermione?" He repeated slowly.
"No. I was looking for her. That's why I need to borrow the map."
"Ron, I saw her with Malfoy yesterday and I don't know where she went, but I don't think she left his room."
"You mean to tell me you were stalking my girlfriend all day long."
Harry rolled his eyes, "Ron, stop acting like a child. Do you know where she is?"
"No. I came here to look for her."
"Good!" Harry walked to his room while Ron followed, "Good?! How can that be good? You saw her with Malfoy and I received a letter from her delivered by Malfoy's pet."
Harry opened his trunk and pulled out the cloak and the map, "Because then we can both look for her. Malfoy's door is open we can see if he did anything to her."
"Do you think Malfoy did anything to her?" Ron asked.
"Of course! It's Malfoy!" Harry placed the cloak over them and made their way to Draco's room. When they got their they checked the map for any sign of people when they saw no one they locked the door and inspected the room.
Harry noticed the crushed sculpture and it's bloody edges. "Ron!" he called.
"What?"
"This sculpture is covered with blood." Ron rushed over and took the sculpture in his hands. "What happened here?" he asked.
Harry walked over to the table and rummaged through the files, "Ron, I think I know where they went."
"Where?"
"Hyacinth manor." Harry held the papers up. "Let's go to the library and find this place."
"What do you think is he doing to her now?" Ron asked.
"He's probably making her suffer." He answered.
"Will you just get on the carriage!" Draco called.
"No, I want to see the sites." Hermione answered, refusing to get on the carriage.
"Well, you can bloody see it later! Just get on so we can get a move on." Draco stepped away from the carriage and dragged Hermione in. "Stupid girl! Wants to walk all the way to the manor." Hermione threw him a dirty look.
Draco and Hermione reached the manor after thirty minutes of a painful carriage ride. "We are here!" called the driver.
"Thank you!" Hermione stepped off the carriage and walked to the gate of the manor. A young man in uniform stopped them as they tried to get a closer look, "Sorry, this is a private residence."
Hermione smiled, "Oh we are so sorry. We didn't know. We are just visiting here. I thought me and my friend can take a look."
"You are just friends with him?" he asked.
"Of course! I will never love a woman like her." Draco sneered.
Hermione nudged Draco with her elbow, "What he means is we are just strictly friends."
"Well, if you really want to know things about Hyacinth Manor I'm going to the pub and I can tell it to you over lunch."
"That would be great!" Hermione flashed another smile, My face is gonna be stuck like this if I don't stop smiling. I just wish Malfoy could cooperate. The guy offered his arm which Hermione gladly took and walked in the pub with Draco following suite.
" 'ey Willie!" greeted the bartender.
"Hey Moe!" he called back, he ushered us to a table and sat down. "So what do you want to know about the manor?" he asked.
I sat beside him as Hermione flirted with him. It was strange to see Hermione Granger, the most uptight girl in Hogwarts, flirting with a complete stranger. It made me want to laugh, "Herm…" I stopped because Hermione's eyes grew wide open. "Hermia, Do you want to get some drinks?" I asked.
"No problem, chap. I'll order for you." Willie walked to the bar and ordered us drinks.
Hermione suddenly sat next to me and said through gritted teeth, "Do not call me by my name. Are you insane?!"
"Well, sorry. I can't believe you are flirting with him." I replied.
She looked at me then suddenly laughed, I didn't know why. "What?" I asked.
"Nothing." She answered, Willie came back with three drinks. He placed it on the table and they continued their conversation. It seems like I didn't exist here.
"So Will, Do you know who lives there?" she asked.
He leaned over, I think he just wanted to get as close to her as possible, "Well, I'm not really supposed to say but I heard that it's Narcissa Malfoy."
"Who is she?" she asked, acting like she didn't know.
"You don't know?!" he exclaimed, "He's the wife of Lucius, a supporter of He-Who-must-not-be-named. They have a son, I heard he's some arrogant prat who's worst than his father. The strange thing is he's also studying in Hogwarts with Harry Potter. I heard that the boy was repulsive and as dumb as a rock." By the time he finished, I had already clenched my fists and was just waiting for the right moment to beat him up, but Hermione' held my hand and loosened my fist. I calmed down, but I was too angry to notice I had taken Hermione's drink and finished it all in a gulp.
They continued with their conversation, Hermione asking him things and smiling at him while he tried to get his hand on her lap. I felt like slapping it off, but thought I would look like a jealous boyfriend than an accompanying friend. As was looking at them I suddenly felt dizzy and felt a pounding in my head. I shrugged it off, must be my lack of sleep. I swayed in my seat, trying to stop the spinning happening.
"Drake, are you okay?" she asked.
"Hey mate! You okay?" Willie asked.
"Yesh. I'm pine." I answered, strange I didn't know I can talk like that. I suddenly felt hot and sick. I wanted to puke.
"Drake, you're turning green." She told me, "Will, where's the loo?" she asked.
"Do you see that brown door. It's there."
Hermione pulled me up from my seat then carried me too the loo, "Let me help you." Willie offered.
"Nuh! Don't toush mee." I answered, he probably spiked the drink. I was about to go when we reached the loo, Hermione dragged me to the bowl where I just let it all out.
After five minutes, I stopped puking and Hermione helped me wash up. "What happened?" she asked.
"Ooh, lookit you you're whoozy." I answered, poking her cheeks.
"Stop that." She brushed my hand away and steadied me.
"I wanna go to sleep. Let's go to bed."
"Draco, I don't know what happened ,but we can't waste time we only have two more days."
"Schleep. Schleep."
Hermione shook her head and we made our way outside. After we got into the carriage I don't remember anything anymore.
The next thing I knew I'm on the bed and Hermione was on top of me. What the hell happened?! I'm in my boxer! Did anything happen between us?! I stared in horror as Hermione hugged me. Well, she was sleeping of course. I tried to scoot away,but she held on too tightly. I decided to wake her up. I stroked her hair to try and get her to moved, but she just kept on sleeping. I gently shook her shoulders and she finally woke up, "Huh?" she muttered.
"Hermione, what happened?" I asked.
"What?" she replied, I held her head and showed her our position. She immediately backed away. "Malfoy, what are you doing?!" she screamed.
"Me? You're the one on top of me hugging me." I screamed back.
"Wait!" she held her head and tried to compose herself, "Now I remember. You were drugged earlier. You passed out in the carriage and I took you up here, but then you woke up and just started stripping. I couldn't stop you so I grabbed the blanket. Wrapped you in it and pinned you down."
"WHAT?!" I exclaimed.
"Get off it! Willie probably slipped something in my drink and when you grabbed it by mistake you probably drank it."
"Ha! You better thank me then. Saving you from perverted Willie while you flirted with him." I commented.
"Malfoy, are you…no…but…."
"What?" I asked.
"Are you jealous?" she asked.
"Me? Draco Malfoy? Jealous of you?! Never!" I snorted.
"But that wasn't what you said yesterday."
"What did I say?" I asked.
"I'm not telling you." She teased, "Get dressed so we can leave and find your mom."
"Wait! What did I say?" I asked again, she just shook her finger and walked in the bathroom.
As we were about to leave, to my surprise, I saw a familiar red head. It was Ron and Harry. What are they doing here? Oh no! They're making there way here. Oh God! What if they recognize us? I pushed Draco on the wall and leaned over to pretend we were kissing.
"What? Grang.." Draco stopped because I planted my lips on his. It was the only thing I can think of at the moment. When I saw Harry and Ron pass by. I pulled away.
"What did you do that for?" he asked.
"Didn't you see them? Ron and Harry are here." I answered.
"What?!" he exclaimed, "Did you tell Weasley?"
"Of course not! He must have gone looking for me. I'm sorry,Draco."
"It's okay. You're not that bad." He answered smugly. I wanted to smack him, I was blushing from his comment.
