It Never to Late

The Hero!

CHAPTER 3

*Draco's POV*

It was a little bit after 6:00 that I decided to go on a walk in Diagon Alley

After my 'meeting' with Hermione and Ron this morning....my mind had been all over the place....I made it back to the train in time to say goodbye to Scorpius and then went home for a while

I got up and apperated to Diagon Alley in the dark part of they alley ways I always go to first and just stood there for a moment

*Hermione's POV*

After we apperatedI was so worried for Hugo

Just as I thought this I heard a 'pop' from the other end of where we stood....I looked up to see an angry Ron who looked around for a minute before his eyes landed on me and he started coming towards me

"Hugo run! Get out of here now!" I yelled at my son

"Mum no! I'm not leaving you!" He yelled back crying

"Please Hugo I will be fine go into that dark alley over there and I will be there in a minute I promise!"

He cried more and flung his arms around he "I love you mum" he cried

"I love you too" I said starting to tear up "now go!"

He obeyed and ran towards the dark alley still crying

*Draco's POV*

When I got to they dark part of the alley I stood there for a minute before a little redhead boy ran into the alley crying

I looked at the boy for a few minutes then I recognized him from the boy Weasley was with

So this was Hermione's child

Why was he here? And crying?

I slowly walked over to him "hey" I said softly he jumped and started to walk backwards away from me

"No no. It's ok I won't hurt you. Is your mother Hermione?" I questioned just to make sure

He shook his head just a little and I smiled

"I know your mum" he looked at me funny "she is a nice lady" I smiled again "so why are you crying?" I asked sitting down next to him in the corner beside him

"Well-"

The little boy was cut off when someone else entered the alley "HUGO!" She screamed

"Mum!" She just stood there and looked at him for a minute thankful he was ok. Then she looked at me and smiled. I smiled back but then I noticed the black & blue hand print on her face.

I was up and over to her in a second

"Draco..." She whispered as I put my fingers lightly on the bruise on her face

"Did he do this to you?" I growled

A signal tear came from her eye and I wiped it away like I did earlier that day

"Yes" and then as if right on cue

"HERMIONE! WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH HIM AGAIN!!"

Hermione pulled away from me and ran behind me to her son once she had him in her arms she came back and stood right behind me with Hugo, clutching him tightly

As me and Ron glared at each other she didn't move....she just hid her and Hugo behind me

I put my left arm on her left side behind me showing her I would let anything happen to her
