Edited 10/3/2023 Minor Grammar/Spelling
Short one today... cause I attended a Bridal Shower and weird post-divorce (although I'm very happily divorced) rampaged throughout my system, but I have a plan for tomorrow and after a good sleep I should feel better!
Friday, September 11, 1998
The entire time that Draco was at the Death Eater meeting that evening, he was putting out a very tense energy. As usual he had his walls up and fortified. Hermione was anxiously tapping her foot against Theo's leg while Richard and Jean cuddled on the couch looking through a compendium of Fairy Tales.
Theo gripped her ankle and raised an eyebrow. "Are you alright?" he asked through the bond.
"Of course not, can't you feel the energy from Draco. I'm worried that something bad is happening," she said frustrated.
Suddenly, a wave of magic was drained from both of them. Hermione felt herself sink further into the couch, and Theo's head fell against the back. "What the fuck was that?" Theo called out towards Draco.
They cough flashes of Dolohov casting spells at Draco, a look of rage on his face through the bond. Hermione and Theo, gripped hands and pushed another wave of magic through towards Draco. They could feel his confidence growing by the moment. Hermione rested her head on Theo's shoulder and closed her eyes, trying to appear normal so that her parents wouldn't notice. Theo laced his fingers through hers and gripped tightly. Draco opened his walls a crack, asking for more Magic. Hermione and Theo pushed more energy towards him.
"We don't have much more, amor," Theo grunted through the bond.
"One. More. Spell," Draco panted.
Suddenly the bond was released, and Hermione felt Theo practically fall apart next to her. All the tension left his body and he let out a heavy sigh. "I'm sorry, Richard, Jean," he groaned, "looks like today took more out of us than we thought. We're off to bed."
Jean just smirked at them. "I remember how tired Hermione made me around this time. You two get some rest, we probably won't be up much longer."
Theo pulled Hermione along towards their room. "Lulu," she called, "can you help us get ready for bed, I don't think I can keep my eyes open a minute longer." Lulu snapped her fingers and Hermione felt her clothing shift and her face and teeth cleaned. Before she could say much of anything else the world went dark again.
Thanks for reading! Let me know what you think or if you have any thoughts about what might happen next!
