=WHAT HAD BETTER HAPPEN, KATIE!

LyonLover417 · 07-11-2007, 07:44 PM

"What on earth are you doing here Harry?" Hermione asked as they walked back to Harry's apartment.

"I'm an Auror for the Ministry. Just trying to round up the last of Voldemort's supporters." Hermione flinched, and Harry took her into his arms. "I really have missed you. What have you been up too?"

"Oh....me and Draco are running into problems. After the move and all...he's doing his best, but I'm so sick of not being able to help support us." Hermione grew frustrated and punched the air.

"C'mon Hermione, I'm sure he's doing the best he can...you remember how he was in school, right? Always proud?"

"Yes...but why can't he see that I'm trying to help?" Hermione asked. They had arrived at his apartment. Harry led her up stairs and down hallways. He opened a small door at the far end of the hallway.

"Because he loves you." Harry said simply. "Want some tea?"

"Please." Hermione flopped down on the small couch and looked around. He had a lovely apartment, even thought it was a little small. There was a small room to the right that suggested a bedroom, and another that was a bathroom. Harry came out of the kitchen with a cup of tea in each hand.

"Here."

"Thanks. Why are you living in such poor conditions if you're an Auror for the Ministry?"

"Well...most of my money is in the vault...and I don't reall need a lot. This is my own little bacholer pad, and I love it." He sat down next to Hermione and put and arm around her. Hermione snuggled next to him, feeling calm and protected. It was the feeling she always got around Draco.

Hermione began to fall asleep. Harry picked her up and layed her down on his bed. He pulled the covers up to her chin, kissed her forehead, and closed the light.

*****

Draco woke the next morning alone. He looked at Hermione's side of the bed and sighed. But he held the tears back. He had already done his share of shedding tears. Draco slowly got together his things, and remembered he didn't have a lunch.

"Hermione...." Draco punched the wall so hard it left a dent. He picked up his briefcase and left with no lunch, no girlfriend, and no good feelings.

Aww....poor Dracikins!

Draco went into work, trying to be cheerful and mask the birds of sadness flying around his head. He managed to fool everyone except Peter.

"Alright Draco, spill." Peter said as soon as Draco closed the door to his office.

"Spill what?" Draco didn't look at him, merely put his suitcase on the desk.

"Draco, you're not very good at hiding it when something's wrong. At least, not to your friends. Now, what's the problem. Is it Hermione?"

"Yes." Draco sighed. "She ran away, and I haven't seen her since yesterday."

"You guys had a fight about the whole bar incident, didn't you?" Peter sat in the guest chair while Draco began to pace the room.

"Yes. She was so upset by it that she just ran out the door. I don't know what to do."

"Did you try to apologise for making her upset?"

"Me apologise? She knew that I loathe bars, yet she went and got a job at one anyway!" Draco's voice was starting to rise, but then Miss Gonzalous poked her head in.

"A Mr. Dismahal here to see you Mr. Black. Something about next weeks visit to the French Embassy."

"Yes, of course. Send him in. We'll talk about this later, ok Pete? Promise."

"Fine." Peter got up and left, almost bumping into the small Arab man.

*****

Hermione woke up the next day in a soft bed. She stretched, and yawned. What had happened? She looked around. Were was Draco?

Then everything came back to her in a rush. She suddenly didn't feel like going anywhere or seeing anyone. She wanted to crawl back under Harry's covers.

"Now now Hermione....that won't due at all." Harry came in with a steaming cup of tea. Hermione took the cup gratefully and took a sip. "I also brought you breakfast." Before her lay a small platter of pancakes, bacon, and a pair of sunny-side up eggs.

"Harry...this looks wonderful! But I need something else of you."

"Anything 'Mione."

"Help me eat this?" Hermione looked at Harry innocently.

"Oh fine. If you insist." Harry picked up a fork and stabbed an egg. "So what are your plans today?"

"Oh Harry, I'm so confused. What am I going to to about Draco?" Hermione appetite was lost. She put down her fork.

"Hermione, the most I can offer is to stay away for a while. Gather your thoughts. Then, when you're calm, and you believe you can talk about it rationally, go back to him."

"But....where shall I stay?"

"Right here if you want." Harry spread his arms. "My hovel is your hovel."

"Thanks Harry." Hermione grinned, and threw a pillow at him.

Hermione began rustling through that morning's paper a half hour before Harry had to get to work.

"What are you looking for 'Mione?" He asked, looking over her shoulder.

"Well, if I'm going to get Draco back, I'm going to need a job that he approves of. My days of working at the bar are over." She said firmly, and flipped to the Hlep Wanted Ads.

"OK, well, I'm going to get an early start at work, will I see you this evening?"

"More than likely." Hermione assured him, and gave him a hug. "Thanks Harry."

"See you later." Harry left as Hermione turned back to the paper, and got out a pen. She started circling ads.

*****

Draco made a few phonecalls, wrote some notes, and sent for Peter.

"OK, you can listen." Draco sighed, and turned off the intercom. Peter listened attentively as Draco revealed the whole story between himself and Hermione. Peter nodded.

"Well good buddy, I must say she was slightly out of line. However, don't you think you should have taken the time to hear her out?"

"Ridiculous. Pete, she knows how I feel about-"

"I know. But if you really love her like you say you do, you should have listened to her. Maybe there was only one job opening, and that was it. Maybe she just wanted to help you with the bills. She does seem to be rather independant."

"I suppose you're right." Draco said with a sigh. He got up and paced around the office. "What should I do?"

"Well, I think you should try to find her first. You say she ran off?" Draco nodded. "Well, look around for any friends of hers that are living in London. Maybe she's staying with one of them."

"Potter and Weasley." Draco muttered under his breath.

"What?" Peter gave him a funny look.

"Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley. Those were her two closest friends."

"Then start there. I see you have another visitor. I'll just go. And good luck, keep me posted, ok?" Peter got up off the desk, and let the rather tall woman come in. Draco steeled himself for another round with an ignorant muggle.

*****

Hermione dragged herself into the apartment, tired, cold, and hungry. She had a few good leads, but for some reason, she was overqualified for most of the jobs around. Hermione went into the kitchen and turned on the light. Time for dinner.

She whipped up a batch of mashed potatoes and looked around for a kind of meat to make. She looked in Harry's refrigerator. There were some meat patties, but that was pretty much it. How did he survive? Hermione smiled as she made the hamburgers. Harry really needed a woman in his life.

Speaking of Harry, he came through the door as soon as Hermione was finished setting the table.

"Hey Hermione, how was the job search?" He asked as he put his wand up on the book shelf.

"It went....well, rather poorly. But I'm trying again tomorrow. Dinner?" Harry sat down and put potatoes on his plate.

"Wow Hermione...I can't believe how much I missed home-cooked food!" Harry said with some suprise as he stuffed himself.

"You've been living on take-out?" Hermione asked. She got up and got two wine glasses.

"Yea, it's pretty bad, but I usually don't have time to cook dinner." Hermione took out a bottle of red wine and filled the glasses, she set them down in front of Harry and herself. "Nice touch."

"I thought so." They clinked the glasses together and finished their dinner.

Hermione had made her decision the next day. After a breakfast alone, she waited for Harry. He dragged himself through the door at 10:30, tired and barely awake.

"Harry?"

"Uhhh.....'Ermione?" Harry mumbled, and fell into the freshly made bed.

"Yes Harry, it's Hermione." She pulled the covers over him. He rolled over to look at her.

"How has your day been?"

"Day just started Harry. It's 10:30 in the morning." Hermione rubbed his back.

"Oh yea....sorry Hermione. I work funny hours. So what did you want to talk about?"

"I think....I'm going back to Draco for awhile. Maybe he's changed."

"In two days? He's good." Harry said slightly sarcastically, and rolled over on his other side.

"What do you mean by that?" Hermione grew offended for Draco. "What has he ever done to you?"

"How about everything? C'mon Hermione, you know he and I have never gotten along. What makes you think it's going to be any different now that we're both working for the Ministry?"

"Do you see him around?" Hermione asked, feargul for Draco's health. "Is he ok? I mean, does he look alright?"

"When I do see him, he looks tired and disheveled, now that he has to do everything himself. Hermione, I suggest heading on back to him. He looks positively miserable." Harry closed his eyes.

"If it doesn't work out, can I come back here?" Hermione asked tentetively.

"Of course....my hovel is....your hovel...goodnight." Harry then fell asleep. Hermione smiled at him, then got up and left.

*****

Draco looked though the Ministry directory and found the name Harry Potter, Apt.# 34, Yulagno Drive, London. He did a quick search and found where that was. Quickly, Draco left a note saying he was out to lunch and left the office.

He arrived at Harry's apartment a few minutes after 1. He banged on the door. Harry opened it sleepily.

"Hermione, I thought you were heading back....you're not Hermione." Harry realized, his eyes a little wider.

"Hermione was here? Where is she? Why hasn't she come home? What have you done to and with her?" Draco bombarded a sleepy Harry with dozens of questions. Harry pulled him inside and shut the door.

"Draco Malfoy....to what do I owe the displeasure?" Harry asked, stumbling towards the kitchen to make some coffee. It seemed obvious that he wasn't getting any more sleep today.

"Hermione. I know she was here with you. Where is she?" Draco asked, looking around the apartment. Hermione's signs were all over it. The straight tablecloth, the freshly washed dishes, even her perfume sent was lightly floating in the air. Harry set a mug of coffee in front of him.

"Hermione? Yea, she came here after your fight. And might I add, was in a right state, I'm not afraid to tell you."

"We didn't see....quite eye-to-eye on a few things." Draco said, looking into his mug.

"So I heard. I offered her my home while she sorted things out...got a better job-"

"She quit her job?" Draco almost choked on his coffee. "She told me she wasn't going to. What changed her mind?"

"You did. Her affection for you made her realize that if she was going to get you to love her again, she needed to please you and get a better suited job. She woke me up this morning to let me know that she was going to find you and apologize for that."

"Oh...I never fell out of love with her. My poor Hermione...." Draco got up, his coffee mug half empty. "Thank you Harry. I've got to go and find her."

"If she comes back here, I'll send you an owl, alright?" Harry saw his unwelcomed guest to the door. "Good luck. And remember that she's doing the best she can for you."

Draco nodded and let the door close behind him. He looked around the unfamiliar streets and decided to turn down Main street, hoping it would take him back to the Ministry. That was surely the place Hermione would look first.

Suddenly, he began to hear footsteps behind him. Draco thought nothing of it. It was a busy street. Just then, the air around him grew colder. The footsteps disappeared. Frost hung on the windows, and Draco realized that it was only affecting him. He tried to run, but tripped over his own two feet.

He scrambled to his feet and tried to make a run for it, but something hit him in his back, and he fell to the floor, unconscience.

*****

The dementor drew back at the sound of the voice.

"Head back to headquarters, I shall take care of this." She sent out a Patronus, and the dementor fled.

She then shot out a Stunning Spell and watched the boy hit the floor. She stepped into the light, and chuckled.

"The Great Lucius Malfoy's son, bested by a simple Stunning Spell." She threw back his hood, and Bellatrix Lestrange laughed.

emma_rlz · 07-16-2007, 03:47 PM

Hermione raced along the crowded London streets, looking for one Ministry of Magic opening. She quickly located it, and was soon inside the great building. She took the elevator up to Muggle Relations, and burst through the door into Draco's office. She was disappointed when he wasn't there. She looked around, hoping for a note. She found one, not quite to her liking.

Hermione Granger,

Yes, I know it's you reading this. You Mudbloods are so easy to read. It's pathetic. I've taken Draco for his punishment for leaving the Dark Lord. Don't worry, you'll see him again.

I guarentee it.

Cheers,

Bellatrix Lestrange

Hermione gasped as the note lit on fire and burned away. She held her head in her hands. Her Draco...captured by Death Eaters....she had to find him.

"Alright Hermione....pull yourself together." She mumbled to herself. First things first.

She needed help. But who could help her? She couldn't tell anyone about this, for Draco was surely using an alias here at the Ministry. She looked at the desk, looking for a name plate. There! Draco Black. How furious would that make Harry...

"Harry!" Hermione almost jumped. He'd be perfect to help her find Draco! But was he still at home? She picked up the phone, hoping there was a connection to an operator.

"Ministry of Magic Operator, how may I be of service?"

"Yes, I'm looking for a Mister Harry Potter please?" Hermione spoke breathlessly into the phone.

"Mr. Potter is not at his desk right now. He just got off duty one hour ago. Shall I leave a message? Who's asking please?"

"Oh, no thank you...I-I'll just reach him at his home. Thank you." Hermione slammed the reciever down as if it would bite her. So Harry was at home. That meant...walking out and into the street...where Bellatrix might be waiting.

Hermione shivered, then looked at the clock. Almost 2:30. He should be alseep right now. But that meant he was home. And who knew how long Draco had been away?

Hermione went down to the Communications office.

"I need to send an owl to one of your employees." Hermione said to the man, hoping to sound important.

"We don't usually lend owls unless it's on officla Ministry business-" The man began, but Hermione cut him off.

"I understand, but this is very important. I need to reach Harry Potter-"

"Oh yea! He told me to keep his service clear, he's trying to sleep." The man settled back in his chair, and opened up the paper. Hermione snatched it away from his hands. "Hey! What's the big-"

"Listen you big jerk! My almost fiance is in serious trouble! I need my friend Harry to help me help him! Don't you know who I am? I'm Hermione Jane Granger." She glared at him.

"Oh! Miss Granger, I apologise! Here, use this one, he's the fastest. Please, I'm terribly sorry, I didn't know-" The poor man was stumbling about, trying to find a quill and parchment and an owl.

"Never mind that, just give me the owl." Hermione whispered a message into a piece of parchment that she had, and it rolled up magically. She tied it to the owl, and it flew off in a big hurry.

"Um, Miss Granger, I'm hoping that you won't mention this to my superiors-" Hermione didn't let him finish. She just went back up to Draco's office to wait.

*****

Harry had just managed to fall asleep again when there was a tapping at his window. He muttered a few choice swear words, and got up before the darn thing broke the window. The owl swooped in, looking proud of itself.

"Well, what do you want?" Harry asked it grudgingly. The owl held out it's leg. Hary detached the parchment from it, and it flew away, hooting. Harry opened it, eyes still a little tired.

Harry,

I'm at the Ministry. In Draco's office. Please come quick. Draco's in serious trouble and I need your help.

Hermione

P.S. Sorry about interrupting your nap!

Harry grumbled as he read the letter. He stuffed it in his pocket and grabbed his coat.

"This had better be good..." He mumbled to himself as he Disapparated on the spot.
