I Fell Into Your Arms

Chapter 40: Emmas Secret

Hermione awoke the next morning in bliss. "Thank you for last night, Draco."

Draco kissed Hermiones cheek in reply. "Im glad I could help. Hermione, I see us together for a long time and I.... 

Suddenly a silver cat came floating into the bedroom. "Hold on, please." Hermione smiled.

The cat spoke with Minervas voice. "Sorry Hermione we need you back right away. A student has gone missing. It's Emma Jones."

The cat disappeared. Hermione and Draco glanced at one another a moment before clasping hands and disapperating on the spot.

"Where is my sister McGonagall?!" Draco demanded the second the pair exited the floo.

Minerva shrugged, clueless. "Ive checked magical signatures, and apparently Emma took an envelope that was a portkey made by Weasley."

Hermione gasped, "Now I know how Harry feels. He targeted Emma because of me!"

"NO Hermione, he's a madman. He could have taken anyone. This is not on you." Draco said firmly.

"If I had only surrendered myself Emma would be safe." Hermione moaned.

"You don't know that." Draco replied.

Suddenly the doorknob jiggled and the adults had their wands raised. In came Emma!

"Emma! You had us worried!" Minerva gasped

"Sorry Headmistress. I had arrived in a tent after touching the portkey. I was able to charm it to take me back." Emma blushed.

"Thats advanced magic for a 14 year old." Hermione narrowed her eyes.

"Im with the ravens for a reason, ma'am." Emma huffed.

"Professor." Hermione corrected.

"Oh, right." Emma blushed.

Draco narrowed his eyes. "Can you tell us what happened?"

"Nothing. No one was there." Emma replied.

"Ok Emma, please return to your dormitory." Minerva stated.

"Ok." Emma smiled, flicked her hair back and began to skip away.

"She seems fine." Minerva stated once the trio were alone.

"No, Minerva. Something doesn't feel right." Hermione stated.

"I agree, that's not how my sister usually behaves." Draco frowned. "Minerva, would it be ok if I stayed with Hermione a few days?"

"As long as the hospital is ok with it's head being away." Minerva replied. "You are always welcome, Dr. Swann." 

"Thanks Minerva." Hermione and Draco said in unison. Taking each other's hands, they left the office.

"What is it, Lestrange?" Emma asked pulling out a portable double mirror.

"When will I be able to come?" A voice demanded.

"Its taking some time. Be patient Lestrange!" Emma snapped in reply. "They won't know what hit them!"

A teenage blonde haired girl awoke with a start. "Where- where am I?"

"Ah good you're awake!" A man said from the corner.
