Eeee I'm pumping out chapters at the moment. This story is taking over my life right now. Which Is good I guess, it means I'm updating quickly. Please don't think I'm rushing this out or don't care, I do, I'm spending hours on this (Mainly through the night) and I read it back about 10 times before I publish it.

I wanted to thank Comix and Co for giving me reviews, it does mean so much to me. This chapter will be in two parts, The first is Hermione and Draco, the second is back with Lucius. The proper action will start soon.

I had to change some ideas as they weren't going to work so as such had to change "Humor" to "Hurt/Comfort" There will be Humor but that won't be until 2-3 chapters. I had a better idea for a plot, so as such have changed it.

Disclaimer: I own nothing. Zilch. Zero.

Hermione woke up the next morning to a series of soft "Tap Tap Tap" noises outside her window. She opened one eye blearily and saw a handsome barn owl sat outside her window. They've replied! She thought. Forgetting all about her tiredness, she jumped out of bed and raced across the room to the window. Opening it gently, so as not to wake Draco, she let the owl in. It swooped low and landed in the middle of her bed, in its beak were a bundle of letters. She took the letters and the owl ruffled its feathers and flew back out of the window.

The letters were from Ron, Harry and Ginny. She took Ron's first and opened it, scowling slightly as she read it through.

Hermione,

Are you out of your freaking mind? I thought Krum was the worst but you have just proved me wrong! Malfoy! Ferret face Malfoy! You CAN NOT seriously be engaged to him. Please tell me this is a sick joke between the two of you.

You were meant to be on holiday and taking him with you cause he's too much hassle back here, but nooo, you end up getting engaged to the pillock.

I'm not happy 'Mione but I guess it's your life and if he makes you happy then - well no, I'll never like him.

Ron W

What did she expect? She knew Ron would flip out about this, and he proved her correct. She put his down to one side and picked up Harry's letter.

Dear Hermione,

Me and Ron were meant to write our letters together, but he's gone and locked himself in his room.

I just wanted to say Congrat's. Me and Malfoy have never got on (as you already know) but if he's really changed and is making you happy then I guess I'm ok with it.

By the way, we heard about the attack. Is Malfoy alright?

See you when you get back,

Harry.

Hermione smiled. Harry had always supported her in her choices, even if the choice was his ex enemy. Finally, she turned to Ginny's letter.

Hermione,

I am SO excited. As soon as you get back we have to arrange the Hen do. Where do you plan on having it? Maybe Hogwarts?

Ron's not happy (He never is) I dunno why he cares though, he's back with Lavender Brown.

Please come back soon, it's not the same without you.

Love,

Ginny.

Hermione laughed, she couldn't help herself. Ron was back with Lavender? Now she really was glad to be away from home. Looking at the clock she saw it was only 8am, no wonder Draco was still asleep. She got up and walked over to his bed, he was under his covers, curled up into a little ball. She smiled, then pounced on top of him, she heard him let out a faint oopf under the covers and laughed.

Without warning she found herself on the floor, looking up she saw Draco smirk at her and then hide back under the covers. She got up and walked towards her bed and grabbed her wand. Pointing it at the mound on the bed she whispered "Levicorpus" and watched as Draco flew into the air by his ankle.

"What the -" He spluttered, glaring at Hermione

"Good Morning!" She grinned, and muttered the counter curse. He fell to the bed with a thump.

He glanced at the clock on the bedside table and groaned. "Hermione, it's 8am. Why are you awake?"

"I got replies back from Ron, Harry and Ginny" Hermione replied, picking up the letters and chucking them to Draco.

He slowly read each one, smirking here and there. Once he reached Ginny's he looked up shocked. "He's back with Lavender?" he said in horror. Even Draco, a Slytherin, knew what Lavender Brown was like.

"Yes" Hermione giggled.

Draco got up, stretching slowly then suddenly, he ran at Hermione and tackled her to the floor. He picked her up and chucked her onto the bed, then strutted over and sat next to her. She thought he was going kiss her, he was getting closer and closer his lips slowly parting the closer he got. But instead, he grabbed a pillow and whacked her around the head with it. She sat there shell shocked for a minute, staring at Draco before a sly smile played onto her lips and she too picked up a pillow and hit it against Draco's perfect blonde hair.

"My hair!" He squealed. "Right, this is war!"

Hermione seemed to agree too, for she ran out of the room and locked herself in the bathroom, panting heavily. She could hear Draco outside her room, "Hermione, come out or I'll blast this door of it's hinges" he drawled. Hermione could tell he was smirking at her being locked away in a small bathroom.

"I'll count to ten, and then the door is gone" he said, his voice muffled.

Hermione stared at the door, surely he wouldn't blast it open? But then again, this is Draco Malfoy. She backed up against the sink, wondering whether to come out or not.

"10" He said, and a loud bang was heard. The door fell away in a cloud of smoke, and on the other side was Draco, his wand held aloft and a huge smirk on his face.

"That's cheating" Hermione said, trying to back up further. She didn't know what he would do now, and she didn't trust him. One bit.

"Since when did I play fair?" He said, walking towards Hermione.

"What are you going to do?" She said, noticing his wand was still held up.

He grinned and pushed her against the sink more, he chucked his wand to one side and wrapped his arms around Hermione. Then he lifted up her and placed her on the edge of the sink. She whimpered softly and before she knew it, his lips were on hers. It wasn't passion it was ferocity, but it felt good. He pushed her further into the sink and she had to wrap her arms around his neck to stop herself from falling into the middle, she bit his bottom lip and he let out a small moan, then he took his lips off hers and moved towards her neck, biting it gently. She whimpered again but didn't push him away. He moved his mouth back to hers and kissed her again, this time with pure passion. His lips were hot, furious and in total control. When he finally pulled away, they were both panting slightly. Hermione had gone deep red, but she couldn't look anywhere apart from Draco's eyes. He gazed back into hers and they were both lost for a minute, in a whole different world. He smiled a small, dangerous smile, fire was still burning in his eyes and he said, in a low voice

"I think I win" and without another word he picked her up and carried her back towards the bedroom.

Malfoy Manor

Lucius and Severus were sat in Lucius's office. They were both tired after staying up all night tweaking the plan.

"Are you sure you're up to this?" Lucius asked, eyeing Severus with concern.

"Yes, I told you. I'm fine" He replied impatiently.

"It's just if this goes wrong, you'll end up dead along with me"

Severus smiled, or at least he tried too. He was never good at smiling, the most he could do was a snide smirk. No wonder most of the students were scared of him. He sighed and gave up trying to smile.

"Lucius, I could of died trying to protect Draco the first time, and I still made an Unbreakable Vow to Narcissa. Why would I back out now?" He answered, rubbing his head.

He still got headaches, and he still had the puncture wounds from Nagini's bite. He picked up his wand and made a small mirror zoom towards him. Holding it towards his neck he saw two little bite marks. God, he thought. It looks like I've been bitten by vampires. He did his half smile/half sneer again and put the mirror down.

Lucius was studying him, as though wondering whether or not he was legitimate. Deciding he was, he looked back down at the paper he was studying. "Ok," he said, "so how many Death Eaters still exist?"

Severus thought for a second, "About 12, give or take"

"And we know Yaxley is the leader in all of this" Lucius said quietly. "So it's Yaxley we need to take out first"

Severus nodded, "Have the order replied yet?" he asked.

Voldemort might be gone, but the Order of The Phoenix still existed to round up all the remaining Death Eaters. It was hard though, they had all gone into hiding around the world.

Lucius shook his head "No, I fear that they don't believe me, or feel that I am lulling them into a false sense of security."

Severus sighed, "Should I go and see them?" he asked.

"No, it's too risky, if someone sees you. I guess it's down to us two to get Yaxley" Lucius said, he picked up his wand, flicked it and a small bottle of Gin flew into his hand. He poured it into two glasses and passed one to Severus.

"To Draco" said Lucius, holding his glass up.

"To Draco" Severus copied, gently tapping his glass against Lucius's

CRACK

Kayfoy appeared in front of Lucius, a scared expression on his face. Lucius felt his heart pound "What is it? Why are you here? What's the matter?" he said urgently.

"I was following Draco like you told me too, and everything was fine. But then-" He broke off, starting to cry. Lucius grabbed the front of his pillowcase and shook him. "What? Tell me now!" he shouted.

"I saw him sir, Yaxley. He was there - at the hotel. He saw the girl and then he saw - Draco. I couldn't do anything, you ordered me to come straight back if I saw anything, Sir"

Lucius and Severus exchanged terrified glances and jumped as a faint pop was heard behind them. They turned slowly and saw Yaxley stood in the doorway. He was wearing an ugly expression and once he caught sight of Severus, his expression got uglier. He was holding two people, they were gagged and bound but still conscious. Draco and Hermione.

"Well Well" he said, sneering. "Guess there will be four murders tonight"

This might be my last chapter for a few days as I need a rethink of where to take it. Have faith in me though :)
