"Draco's in trouble" the first words that rolled out of my mouth when we landed roughly
I stumbled off into a wall, noticing my group shuffled around as well"Where are we?" Ron asked ignoring my statement
"My mum and dad used to bring me here as a child, we would get coffee at this local shop" Hermione said "it's in the center of London, my first thought when I tried thinking of somewhere we wouldn't run into trouble"
Harry was silent, i pushed off the wall and began pacing back and forth
My dad's back there
Draco is in trouble
"Moody died" another thought that came to my mind "my dad's still there" I couldn't help the word vomit "we should go back""We can't" Harry said breaking his silence
Hermione began leading us to the cafe she recalled
"He'll be fine, he wouldn't want us to. That was the biggest raid the order has experience but he won't stay if you're not there""What about Charlie"
I haven't felt panic like this for five years, my heart was beating outside of my chest. I couldn't control my breathing, people pushed passed us on the busy road and I let them shove me aroundHermione turned around and grabbed my hand, afraid to lose me in the crowd of muggles. Since Voldemort's rein muggles have left in bigger groups and walked with pairs. They weren't aware of all that was going on, their news covered it by saying there was a large gang who was creating havoc. I think people are smarter than that.
Hermione seemed to be the only one not affected by our sudden exit. She was the only one who didn't have someone she was extremely close to at the wedding. She gave me comfort but I couldn't focus on anything other than the fate of those who were there
"I knew it was a bad idea"
The last thought I had before Ron opened the cafe door for us, Harry lead the back making sure that we weren't being followedHermione brought me to a seat specifically for four people and then walked up to the worker
I heard her order a set of four identical coffees, warm for us. This part of London was always cold, I finally started to get my senses back. I noticed I was freezing first, my skin was pimpling and a shiver was sent down my spin. I tried rubbing my hands for warmth but I couldn't produce any. Ron noticed and pulled me into his side, the Weasley's all ran warm.Hermione came back with our drinks, she sat beside Harry and laid her head on his shoulder
"Well we got you away from Charlie""Charlie knew about the plan, he saw me packing apparently" I shivered again as the warm coffee heated my insides "he told me he wouldn't stop me, but he wanted me to be safe"
"I didn't get to say bye to my family" Ron said slouching his head onto my own
"I didn't say bye to Ginny" Harry said doing the same to Hermione
We all took a moment to work out what happened, most of the time we just sat there quickly drinking our coffee. Other times Harry got up to check the streets for anyone who looked suspicious
"Something happened to Draco"
"He's always been that way" Harry added "now you can see what he's actually like"
"He's never been that way to her" Hermione defended
"He tried to kill you" he added louder "I saw what that spell did to Moody. If I wasn't busy with helping your dad with Yaxley I would have killed Malfoy right there"
"Yaxley was there? How do you know?"
"His mask slipped, he also went specifically for your dad when he stepped away from you" Harry didn't touch his coffee, he offered it to me and I took it
"I hope my dad is ok"
"When it's safe we will send a patronus to check it out. Voldemort really found the wedding that far into the forest" Ron said annoyed
"...what did you just say?" I asked stunned
It's been a known taboo not to say his name, it's how so many order members were found outHarry jumped out of his seat and ran for the front door
Hermione used her wand to knock out the cafe worker, her and I dragged her body to the back in the office"Fuck I can't believe five years of not fucking up I did it" Ron said pissed, he was with Harry watching the door
Hermione and I laid the girl down and put a jacket over her body
"Well I hope she's covered well enough"A door swung open, I grabbed Hermione's head and shoved her below the desk with the muggle
We both kept low, staying as still as we could
They would hear Harry and Ron, the two of them were arguing about the breach of safety
They didn't need to know we were here tooFootsteps went passed the office door that was wide open, we could hear at least two snatchers
If I had know about a back door I would have been there defending itSpells began firing in the restaurant, I could hear clashing of tables and chairs being shoved around by magic
The area was lit up with red and purple sparks, Hermione started walking towards the chaos
I looked back at the girl, she was in a well enough spot for us to leaveHermione walked out of the door with her wand held high, but someone grabbed her hair and yanked her out
I moved quickly, going to help her but someone else grabbed my neck
"Got some pretty ones here" the ugly git said
His teeth were yellow and he reeked, a disgusting mop of blonde hair was dangling in my faceI looked at Hermione and nodded my head, we both attacked the two who were holding us sending them flying back into the walls
Harry and Ron ran to our side and saw what we were dealing with, my neck was sore from his grip but I shook it offHarry offered me his hand and I took it, standing back up i could see how truly nasty the two were
Ron put his hand on Hermione's face and kissed her softly, I saw him whispering to her but I didn't listen
I didn't want to hear him comfort her, I couldn't look at them without thinking of how Draco would have been the one to comfort me.
