Chapter 10- Draco's note and the Horcrux hunt
After Dumbledore fell, Draco had left with his deranged aunt and the others. I still managed to complete the year barely through rough edges. I couldn't stop thinking of him though. I was glad that it wasn't him who killed the poor old headmaster, but still felt rather sad that he had his life ended all because the dark lord wanted him out of the way. I know for a fact that everything at Hogwarts next year will change drastically. It probably might be run just like Durmstrang which is what the deatheaters all want. The train ride home was a quiet one. Of course my parents will still be waiting to pick me up, but they are still not going to talk to me after the stunt that I pulled my third year on the baby's father. Once I arrived home I put Athena down in her crib to play with her toys while I do some light reading. Before I could open the book, an eagle owl appeared at my window sill with a note. I noticed immediately who it belonged to. 'Granger, please I'm begging you on this I want you to stay out of this war as much as possible. There is a war coming. I know you want to help Potter, but please don't die trying. I have arranged a place for you in the united states in case something goes wrong. Take that baby of yours with you. It is going to become as unsafe as we speak right now. Please, Hermione. The necklace was for you. I didn't get a chance to give it to you before I left the common room. I Love You, and be safe. -D.M.' I looked at the necklace and cried it was beautiful. It was a gold and silver locket shaped in the form of a heart with a snake entertwining at the open. When I opened it I saw two pictures one side had a picture of me, smiling and laughing. It was moving of course. The other had a picture of Draco with his usual smirk looking right at me. Just looking at it made my heart stop and pound even harder. I put the necklace on and around my neck in hopes that if Draco does get to see me he would know that I had accepted it even though I don't necessarily accept expensive gifts from anyone. The owl looked at me curiously. Probably waiting for a reply, so intead I wrote a note back saying Draco thank you. I love it. It's beautiful. I hope you are doing well. I miss you. I understand what you had to do, and I'm not holding it against you. I love you to. And I promise that I will try, foe the three of us.' before giving the owl a treat I tied the note to its feet and sent it off. I never got a reply back so I knew that by me telling him that was enough for him to bare with. Weeks later I brought Athena along with me after I used a memory charm on my parents to the Weasley family home. After all it was Fleur and Bill's wedding. While there Mrs. Weasley kept trying to separate me, Ron, and Harry because she knew that we would not be returning to Hogwarts right after summer vacation. During the wedding there was much dancing, partying, and drinking. That soon after a patronus came to ruin the party by saying that the minister scrimegour was dead, killed by a deatheater. After that me and Ron found Harry and apparated into muggle London to hide. We ended up going to Grimmauld Place #12 tohide after being attacked by two deatheaters. Once Kreacher told us the story about Regulus, we then figured out that it was him who had taken the locket but never got the chance to destroy it. While continuing the quest to finding all of the horcruxes and destroying them we ended up at Malfoy manor. That's when I saw Draco. As soon as he spotted me he became frightened. Afterwards it became unreadable. While Bellatrix was torturing me into insanity, Draco had taken Harry and Ron to the dungeons but before putting them in he told them to make sure that I leave before this war starts. They could tell he was scared to the point that he was about to break down and cry. After we escaped. Harry and Ron had put me on a plane to America in order to hide since the war was quickly approaching. I felt like I was out of the loop since they could not by all means keep me informed of what was going on. I felt scared I still kept the locket that Draco had given to me on for luck that someday that this war would be over.
