Chapter: 5 To be a Nott or to not be a Nott

Hermione pov:

Once I got out of the dining room I took off running to the door that lead to the gardens. I ran down several long hallways not really paying attention to where I was going. I saw the door and I put on a new burst of speed. I stopped long enough throw open the door. I ran out the door not caring that I have no where to go. Not caring that I didn't shut the door. Not caring about the fact that I didn't know where I was going. Not caring that someone's eventually going to find out I'm missing. Not caring im probably ruining my dress. I just ran. I don't know how long I ran but it felt like hours. Days. Years. Lifetimes. When I my legs finally gave up I fell to the ground.

My brain finally registered everything that happened. My fathers dead. He was murdered. I laid down and cried. Sob's shook my body. I cried for what felt like hours until I fell asleep out of exhaustion.

When I woke up I felt a pair of strong arms carrying me. I looked up through unfocused eyes I caught a pair of worried gray eyes and blonde hair.

"It's ok Hermione I'll protect you. Your safe now," said the blonde.

I moaned and then sleep took me once again.

I slightly woke up I didn't want to open my eyes, but my senses were heightening I was aware of someone's arm was around. I felt a warm body behind me. I was going to get up and so I moved a little but as soon as that happened the arm pulled me towards them, then buried his face into the crook of my neck. I shivered as I felt him breathe into my shoulder. I could tell it was a man because he was shirtless and he didn't have breasts. I turned around and looked at who was holding me. He pulled me toward him I was flushed against him now I felt every part of him against my own body. I blushed a little. It was Draco the boy who yelled at me why would he care about me? Why would he go out and look for me?

"Draco, Draco wake up," I whispered. Me moaned and shoved his head farther into my neck and tightened him hold on me. I blushed again.

"Draco come on wake up," I said a little louder.

He moaned once again "five more minutes mother," he mumbled to me.

"Draco," I yelled.

"WHAT, WHAT, WHAT, oh" he said when he opened his eyes he let go but didn't move his body away "sorry," he whispered while a blush crawled up him neck and found home on his cheeks.

I smiled at him hoping my blush has faded. "thank you. For going to get me last night. Thank you," I scooted towards him and warped my arms around him he froze and once I stared to retreat he finally wrapped his arms around me and held me there. We sat there just holding each other for a few minutes until we let go.

"I-everyone was really worried about you last night," he said not looking at me. His blush was darker now. I was pretty sure I had one two.
"I didn't mean to worry any one" I said watching him.

He was quite for a while then he finale said "mother wanted you to go to dinner with her and the other mothers," he said still not looking at me.

"There's some of your clothes in the bathroom for you. So you can get washed up before you go see them," he said to me he got off the bed and walked to the door he looked at me for a few seconds then opened the door and left. I don't get why did he just leave. Oh well. I jumped into the shower and washed up real quick.

I knocked on the door then walked in closing the door behind me.

"Draco said you wanted to see me," I said shyly. The moms turned around and they all had soft looks on their faces.

"We asked the children a question and you have a few options. All of us would love to have you in our family's but you can choose. If you even want to be in any of our family's. We told the children what we where going to do you don't have to make a decision right this second, but just so you know you have options," said Mrs. Parkinson. I smiled and nodded tears filling my eyes.

"Can I go hang out with my friends now, please," I asked they smiled and nodded encouragingly.

I smiled a tearful smile and then said "thank you."

I walk out the door and then said "Flopsy" the little elf showed up with a crack. Her ears looked slightly burnt and damaged.

"Flopsy what happened to your ears," I cried out.

"Flopsy made miss run away. Flopsy gave miss that sad letter. It's all Flopsy's fault. So Flopsy had to punish myself so Flopsy put her ears in the oven door," said the elf ashamed.

"oh no Flopsy. Why did you do that it's not your fault," I said I ran up to the elf got down on my knees, and hugged the battered up elf. The elf was in shock first and then started to cry.

"Oh no I didn't mean to make you cry. I'm sorry" then I started crying myself.

"Are you ok what's the matter" said Theodore pulling me to stand up. He pulled me in to his arms and started saying words of calming nothing's. He just held me protectingly as if he was trying to keep out everything that could hurt me.

At first it took me off guard because he was so cold to me at dinner but then I hugged him back and slowly stopped crying.

"Are you ok now what happened," he said still holding me. I looked down and noticed the elf disappeared.

"Yes thank you," I said not letting go. "I was crying because Flopsy hurt herself thinking she was the cause of why I ran away," I said holding him a little tighter. He chuckled.
"Elves do that kind of stuff you just have to let them do it. You can't do anything about it," he said to me.

"Can I ask you a question?" I asked. Looking up at him. Not paying attention to there scrounging they didn't see the gray eyed blonde with the hurt in his eyes. He turned around and left without anyone even knowing he was there.

"Anything," he replied. Looking down at me.

"Do you want a sister," I asked shyly.

"I would love to have a sister" he said to me. He let me go just slightly with a smile on his face an d said "come on lets go tell mother" we ran hand in hand down a few hallways. We stopped at a door and Theodore knocked on it. We walked in and found Mrs. Nott siting at one of the couches.

"Is everything ok? What happened?" she said worriedly.

"Mother can I keep her," Theodore asked with a lazy smile. Mrs. Nott smiled a big smile.

"Only if she wants us Theo. What do you say Hermione do you want to be a Nott," she said with a hopeful smile.

"I would love too," I said. The three of us pulled into a tight hug. I have a family again I thought as tears started to roll down my cheeks.
