A/N: Hello all! I know it's be a few years since I've written for any of my stories. I lost interest in it for a while and recently I decided to read a few Harry Potter fan fictions on here and got the urge to write again. I know I hate it when stories that I absolutely love aren't finished so I never find out what happens, and I don't wanna leave my stories like that. I want to finish them for my readers. So I'm going to be trying to update as quickly as I can and finish these stories for ya'll! Thanks for reading
A couple days after arriving at the burrow, the Weasley's and Harry were sitting eating breakfast and listening to one of the few wizarding world radio stations.
"On the top of today's list of breaking news, it's been reported that Malfoy Manor was intruded last night", everyone froze and dropped what they were eating. "It is unknown of any injuries at the moment, but we do know that young Draco Malfoy and his girlfriend were home for Christmas holidays from Hogwarts and Draco's mother was also in the residence. All we know at the moment is that all 3 people have gone to St. Mungos", the story finished.
"Oh my god", Ginny started crying and ran upstairs. A few minutes later she returned dressed and with a bag. "I'm not just gonna sit here and wait, who's coming with me, since I can't apparate yet?" she asked.
"We'll all head over to St. Mungos", Mrs. Weasley said. "Everyone get dressed quickly so we can go", she said.
Five minutes later everyone was dressed and getting ready to go. They all paired up and were about to apparate when they heard a loud pop outside. They all ran to the door and out onto the deck. They saw in the distance three people, two with white blond hair and anoher with brunette hair. Ginny realized who it was and ran to them. She reached them and saw the distraught looks on all of their faces, but especially Hermione's. She grabbed Hermione into a huge hug while all the others were running over.
"We just heard on the radio, we were just about to apparate to St. Mungos", Ginny cried. This caused Hermione to break down again. Ginny held onto her tight as they led the three to the house and to the couch in the sitting room. Hermione stayed distant but let Ginny put her arm around her. "Do you want to talk about it?" Ginny asked. She shook her head.
"Here are your cups of tea", Molly said handing a cup to Narcissa, Draco and Hermione. Hermione wouldn't take it so Molly just placed in on the table in front of her.
"Thank you", Narcissa and Draco said in unison.
"You're welcome", Molly said sitting down. "Do you know who was responsible?" She asked.
"It was Lucius and two of his overly large goons", Narcissa told everyone.
"How did he get past the enchantments Dumbledore put on the grounds?" Harry asked perplexed.
"We have no idea. St. Mungos called aurors in to take a look at the place, which is why we came here, because we were told not to go back there. We had nowhere else to go so Hermione suggested coming here. Draco and I were hesitant at first because of everything that's happened. But we want you to know, Lucius is not part of our lives anymore, we refuse to be anything like him any longer, we're trying to make amends with everyone who Lucius, Draco or Me have hurt in the past", Narcissa explained. Draco nodded while sipping his tea.
"It's perfectly alright. We were going to tell you to come here anyway, but you beat us to it. It may take some time, but I'm sure we can be friends and forgive what's happened. You guys staying here gives us the opportunity to get to know the real Draco and Narcissa Malfoy", Molly told them. Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Thank you so so much. You have no idea how much we appreciate this", she said, tears coming down her cheeks.
"Yes, thank you very much", Draco added. He looked over to Hermione, she still had the distant stare in her eyes. He knew she said she didn't blame him, but he thought she only said that while the adrenaline of everything happening was still running through her.
"You guys are very welcome. Now as you know we don't have a whole lot of room, it's definitely not a mansion, but we can make do, right guys?" Molly asked everyone. They all nodded and smiled weakly. You could see the appreciation in Draco and Narcissa's faces. "So Hermione can bunk with Ginny like she always does when she's here. Harry, Ron, do you mind if Draco rooms with you?" Molly asked.
"No, I guess it'll be alright. We'll need another cot tho", Ron said. Harry nodded.
"That can be arranged", Molly said. "Narcissa, this couch here pulls out, if you want to sleep there".
"Yes, that'll be fine. I'd sleep on the floor if I had to", she laughed a little. The others smiled at her.
"Ginny, take Hermione up to your room so she can get some rest. She doesn't look to well", Molly told her. Ginny nodded and helped Hermione up off the couch. Ginny held onto Hermione and led her upstairs. They entered Ginny's room and Ginny helped her sit on the bed. Ginny grabbed a pair of her pyjamas for Hermione to wear. Ginny went to help her undress, but Hermione screamed. Everyone in the house was upstairs at her doorway in seconds.
"What happened?" Molly asked.
"I dunno. I grabbed some pyjamas and was gonna help her change but she just screamed when I touched her", Ginny said, clearly afraid for her best friend. Draco came in and knelt in front of Hermione but at the sight of him she screamed again and back away into the wall. Draco looked at his mother and tears started to form in his eyes.
"Okay, Ginny just let her sleep in what she's wearing, but stay up here with her and keep an eye on her", Molly said. Ginny nodded and sat down in the armchair in her room. Hermione just shook and rocked back and forth. Finally after a couple hours, Hermione laid down to try to sleep.
Ginny stayed with Hermione every minute of everyday for the past 8 days. Hermione never ate or drank or even talked. She just sat there. She would sleep off and on during the day and when she did Ginny took those opportunities to run to the bathroom. She always called down to her mum to come up while she went to the washroom. She was in the washroom one afternoon when she heard her mum scream. She heard a bunch of footsteps running to her room. She quickly washed her hands and ran back to her room. She couldn't believe what she saw. Hermione lying there on the floor in a puddle of her own blood.
