He is the one (a dramiome sequel)

Chapter Sixteen

Harry's POV

I was waiting for Draco, but he was no where in sight and we were supposed to leave five minutes ago. Ill give him another 5 but then im leaving. I won't let him keep me from Mione any longer than I already have been...

"Harry!" I looked to my right and see Dean Thomas "what are you doing?" He looked at my bags and then at me finally

"Just another mission, its okay. What did you need?" I leaned against the wall

"We wanted to know if you wanted to grab a butterbeer with a group of us, we know you're a Slytherin now but we were hoping...I suppose you can't though. If you don't mind me asking where are you? You look like you've packed everything you own"

"Dean, do me a favor, walk away. Walk away and go back to the common room and tell them you couldn't find me, I was no where in sight. Take Ron to the side and tell him that I have to do this alone and that im already gone. Tell him I hate him and want nothing to do with him, tell him anything but the truth. I have to do this. Alone." I looked at the boy in front of me and could his heart breaking as he realized

"Are you sure...?" I just nodded in response "good luck Harry Potter. May merlin protect you've hugged me before fleeing and I was left alone.

Malfoy still wasn't here, I picked up my bags and walked out of the only place that had been my home. It was time to return.

~hours later in the muggle world~

I was outside his house, he took claim of it since his parents died. I took a deep breath and steeled myself. I rang the doorbell and anxiously waited.

The door opened and he stood in front of me "Harry! What are you doing here? I thought you weren't coming to visit until Christmas! The kids aren't even home!"

I looked up with a fond smile "hi dudley. Yes I know, but something has come up and I needed to be here more than I needed to be at school. Its alright the kids aren't home, I came to see you anyway." He allowed me into the house and we walked past the cupboard that began my story seven years ago.

We sat in the kitchen for several minutes until he broke the silence "Harry it's always a pleasure to see you, and you're always welcomed here, but why are you here? What's the matter?" He quizzed me

"Hermione is missing, im here to retrieve her and the first, well the only clue was to begin here..." he cut me off

"OH Hermione was here only a few months ago! She was alone but she looked rough. She left a letter..." he stood up to find this letter and returned awhile later "here, I suppose it was more an object than a letter, but certain sentences were highlighted so I thought...the Wizarding world has interesting books, harry"

I looked at her copy of Hogwarts:A History and slowly took it from my cousin's outstretched hand "yes, yes they are. Thank you, but I must be off" I looked at him apologetically

He nodded a sign of understanding and dismissed me. I was gone in seconds.

I sat myself at the playground from the dementor attack of me and dudley. He was right some were highlighted, after reading, skimming I finally realized. I summoned a parchment and quill and begun writing the chosen statements. And soon enough, i knew her message.
