Chapter 3/3
Friday, October 17, 1998
Friday went in a blur, class flew by, the Muggleborn families had been built private dormitories. After the school day let out, Hermione and Theo walked through, admiring the apartment style housing. The elves had done a fine job since Wednesday, Each family had their own apartment that featured a living room, kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms.
The whole setup was built around a greenhouse style courtyard. Neville had worked with the elves to plant everything from trees to grass. Harry had encouraged them to build a full playset. Narcissa had designed a store that almost looked like a department store, except it featured everything from clothes, to books, to toys, to food. Remus had wandered and added touches to make the place seem less magical, pulling from his own experiences and memories.
The only real problem is that the Muggleborns and their families weren't allowed to leave. In fact, after the safehouse had been discovered, no one except the Professors were allowed to come and go from the GMS. Harry and Neville had both requested that the location be Obliviated from their minds, and would rely on their Portkeys to get them back and forth.
That evening when they arrived home, they were rather pleased to see that the Dark Lord gave a brief reprieve to his Inner Circle. He claimed to be pleased with their work as of late, and wanted to give them a break. Hermione, Theo, and Draco privately thought that he didn't want to admit his weakness, but weren't about to point that out to him.
"Anything we need to do tonight?" Draco asked, laying with his head on her lap.
"Nothing pressing," Theo replied absentmindedly, not even looking up from his book.
"Excellent," Draco said closing his eyes, "a night in with my truest loves. Just what I wanted."
