I'M SO SORRY FOR THE SUPER LONG WAIT!
I don't own any characters from Twilight or harry Potter.
Draco finally stood outside the house that the Ministry provided for Hermione and the others. He was exhausted from wandering around washington for hours looking for the place. Admitted the first thing that popped into his head was how plain it was. It sickened him to his core that he stilled held on to these aesthetic values that his parent installed into him. It was just more proof that he never really changed, no matter what he told himself, or what sided he was on, he was still the same Draco Malfoy he always was.
Draco finally made his way toward the door. He Knocked and waited for someone to answer the door. He wasn't particularly happy about have to come face to face with practically everyone of hated him. And in particular Hermione. Draco could always deal with Ron and the other. A snarky remark here and a glare there was all it would take; but he didn't think he could do the same to Hermione. Especially after she got him out of Azkaban.
To his surprise and relief no one came to the door.
"Stupid me." Draco thought to himself, after turning around and noticing for the first that there weren't any cars in the driveway. He thought about going straight to the local high school to find them, but his curiously got the better of him. He took out his wand and unlocked the door and stepped into the house. Walking through the house he couldn't help notice how empty it was. Aside from the furniture there wasn't anything else, there weren't any pictures on the walls. To be completely honest it was as if they got the house with the show furniture included.
Draco couldn't take being in this depressing place anymore and left the house. His mind back on the task at hand. He didn't know where the High school was so he just started walking down the road, hoping it wouldn't take him hours to find.
Forks was small enough that Draco find the high school quick enough. Most of the students had yet to go to class and as a result the parking lot was jam packed with students. Scanning the parking lot Hermine was no where to be found.
"She must be inside." Draco thought. Not wanting to be noticed by the muggles, Draco casted a Notice-me-not charm so powerful he even Doubted Merlin could see right now. He reached the front door in record time. He was completely lost once in the school, however, and that was quite a feat since he attended Hogwarts. which is he was being completely honest was more of a maze than a castle. And not to mention he was no a Auror/Assassin and it was his job to never be lost. The school's hallway was long and broke off in many different direction.
"Dude, have you heard the new girl's accent?" Someone said almost walking into Draco. "What you haven't? Bro you have to its so sexy." The kid said heading in the general direction of the rest of the student. Draco followed the flow of traffic not really knowing what else to do.
Hermione was sitting at their adoptive lunch table with the Cullens. She seat and just watch as the two groups of magical captured interacted with each other. It was both an amazing and chaotic sight to see. George, Ron, Piper and Emmett were being way too loud for no reason, playing some new computer game Emmett showed them. And from what i could tell so far George was winning and it was making Emmett extremely mad. Which it totally understandable seeing as George had no idea what a computer was 24 hours ago.
Alice was seating on Hermione's lap talking to Rosalie. The rest of the group was talking amongst themselves, well everyone but Edward and Bella. Who had decided to kind of isolate themselves from the dysfunctional wizards. Though for probably for different reasons Hermione reasoned. Edward was mostly keeping his distance because of what he had saw yesterday and of fear of seeing more. Bella was probably doing it because Edward was. She didn't expect to interact with them for a while.
"What is my little witch thinking about?" Alice whispered to her, biting her ear. Hermione instantly felt herself get turned on.
"Just about the sexy vampire on my lap" Hermione whispered back sucking on Alice's neck, a small moan escaped her lips. Hearing Alice moan sent her mind into overdrive. every fantasy she ever had was playing in her mind. she was getting wetter and wetter, all the while still sucking on Alice's neck.
"Alice!" Edward said tapping his forehead. Hermione blushed bright red, then a smile reached her face. Alice must have been thinking the same as her, making Edward uncomfortable.
Alice bent down and nipped Hermione on the ear. Hermione squaled, no blood was drawn but it still hurt. Hermione playfully tapped her on the nose with her wand.
"Hermione?" To Hermione's surprise it was Edward who was talking to her.
"Yes,Edward?" she said wondering why he started to talk to her now.
"You were talking about your school yesterday. I was just wondering what houses would we have been sorted into." Edward said motioning to his family.
"Thats an interesting question." It really was, Hermione hadn't thought of it before but now she could definitely see the different houses among the group.
"Emmett would be a Gryffindor for sure. Gryffindor's are brave and reckless, sometime stupidly so." Hermione tells Emmett, who seemed to take pride in everything she just said.
"Nadia, Rosalie, Jasper, Bella and Esme would be the Hufflepuffs. Hufflepuff are some of the most loyal people i've ever met, they'll never betray their friends." She continued, getting head shakes from the above mentioned people.
"Edward and Carlisle are definitely the Ravenclaws of the group, they believe that nothing is more important to knowledge. Many of them dedicate their whole lives to learning."
"That leaves Piper as the lone Slytherin. Slytherin are a rude, cunning, backstabbing lot. They'll do whatever it takes to get to the top. they don't care who that have to step on the do it either. there some of the worst people on earth!"
When she was finished she was met with silence and blank stares from the vampires.
"Sorry. I'm a Gryffindor to my core and we don't get along with Slytherins. Gryffindors and Slytherins hate each other on principle."
"Like every self-respecting Gryffindor and Slytherin should Granger." Draco's voice sent chills down her spine. Hermione slowly turned around in her seat until she was staring up Draco Malfoy. Neither one of them looked away from one another. It was a surreal experience for them both.
The last time Hermione saw Draco he was in a cell in Azkaban, awaiting the Dementor's kiss. After the war was over the public wanted closure, beginning with the round up of high ranking Deatheaters. With Draco's mother and father on the run, Draco found himself public enemy number one. He was arrested, tried, and sentenced in under a month.
Draco was contempt with his sentence he was given fully prepared to serve his sentence, even if he was charged with his parents crime. Harry and Hermione just couldn't stand by as an innocent man was sentenced to death, not after what they had done to Snape. They went to straight to Kingsley and requested that he released Draco immediately. Hermione never told Draco it was her that got him released but from looking at him now, she knew, he knew it was her who did it.
"Happy to see me Hermione." Draco added with a wink.
Draco took his time looking around at the Cullens. He noticed there unnaturally golden eyes immediately.
"You always manage to keep nice company Grander. First the Weasels, now vampires." Ron and George turned red in the face with anger. The Cullens had stop pretending to breath with Draco made it known he knew what they were.
"And you are?" Jasper asked picking up on the sudden tension in the air. He sent cooling vibes to everyone.
"A proud Slytherin." Draco said flashing his classical grin. Draco noticed Jasper's powers but choose to ignore the feeling. He cast a quick notice me not charm around their small table.
"If I never saw you again it would have been too soon Malfoy." Hermione said trying extra hard to put venom in her words but couldn't quite manage it.
"Keep playing like you hate me, if you want to Granger but we both know you don't." Draco said "You don't save people you hate from Azkaban."
Her eyes grow to the size of soccer balls.
"I only did that because i-" Hermione tried to make up an excuse, but in the end gave up.
"Why are you here Malfoy?" One of the Weasels piped up.
Draco had actually forgotten why he was there for a moment.
"Potter."
"What happened to Harry!" They all shouted at the top of their lungs. Everyone had jumped out of their seat wand drawn. The Vampire had also jumped to their feet.
"He went all "Chosen one" again. We had brought him back safely but he ran off." Draco continued.
"What happened and where did he go." Hermione asked completely calm. Draco had never seen this side of her before.
"I had found him in the Scarlet Forest, he looked bad, defeated. After we had some…. words….. I brought him to kingsley. All was going fine until Kingsley told us that a Death Eater compound in Italy was raided and maps of Forks Washington was found. You can imagine what happened next."
"He disapparated to Italy." Hermione whispered.
Draco nodded his head.
"Well lets get going." Ron said.
Draco burst out in laughter. He couldn't help himself.
"Really? Let me guess you're going to save him, you?" Draco said still laughing. "Damn I needed that." He finished wiping his eyes
"Well what are we going to do!" Ron shouted, he was clearly about to jump on Draco.
"Stay put, you arse! There is a band of Death Eaters after you. What do you think is going to happen if they come and don't find you here? Instead they find a small town full of unprotected muggles. How do you think that will end, because we know how much they love them."
"I'm sure you do." Ron whispered under his breath.
Draco choose to ignore that.
"I need you guys to stay put and protect these muggles" Draco waved at the students all around him. "Cause if you think Vampires are going to stop all of them you mistaken."
"Hey you don't know what we can do." Emmett said stepping in Draco face.
Draco literally laughed in his face.
Jasper sent another wave of calming vibes to everyone. The smile fell from Draco's face. This time Draco couldn't just ignore the feeling.
"Maybe you're right." He said looking at the vampires behind Emmett not sure which one was changing his emotions.
"You just want us to stay here and do nothing." Neville said.
"Now you're getting it." Draco, felt like he was talking to small retarded children.
"But we have to know if Harrys okay." George said.
Retarded. Children.
"Are you dumb you can come-"
"Bond with me." Hermione said interrupting Draco. "Its the only way we can know what's happening without being there."
"Bond?" Draco had to admit it was a good idea. "Which one?"
"Animam vinculum." Hermione said.
"Soul Bond, are you fucking crazy? Thats too dangerous. There are literally hundreds of other binds and you choose that one." Draco tried to reason with her.
"Yes because that the only one that can teleport me directly to you if something was to happen!"
"Fuck no! Not going to happen!"
"Em.. What's Animam Vinculum." Alice asked Hermione.
"It a spell that binds two souls together. The bonded people are able to teleport to and from each others exact location. As a trade off they are also able to feel the pain of the other. It was used as a wedding bind years ago, but its the only thing that I can think of that will help us now."
"Wait, you would be able to feel each other pain….so if one of you dies then…." Alice trailed off.
"So does the other." Draco finished for her. This was one of the reasons he was so against it. Draco had long ago come to terms with the fact that he may oneday die on one of his missions.
Everyone was silent for a minute or two.
"No." Alice said fear evident in her voice. She turned to Hermione. "I know its selfish, but i just met you and if you were to die I don't know what I would do." Hermione pulled her into her.
"Its the only way." she whispered into her ear, before turning to Draco.
"Draco." she said with so much forcefulness that Draco took a step back.
"Fine." Draco said pulling out his wand and rolling up his sleeve. Hermione did the same.
They both placed their wands on the other's shoulder.
"Animam Vinculum."
Their wands began to smoke and sizzle, causing them to grasp in pain. An ink like substance and poured from their wands and into their skin. The ink and pain didn't stop until there were a tattoo left on their shoulders.
On Draco's was a roaring lion, with Hermione's name under it.
On Hermione's a hissing snake, with Draco's name under it.
When it was over Draco disapparated, leaving everyone in silence.
Animam vinculum translate to "Soul bond", according to Google anyway. When it comes to the lion and snake at the end; both Hermione and Draco could have put anything on the other's shoulder, they were just being smart asses about it. Please tell me what you think about the chapter.
Again, i'm sorry for the super long wait time.
