After a War ((Old Copy))

Chapter 13 Book 2

The Wanderers

Draco caught up with Maya after what seemed like forever, he had to climb up pretty high, it was bloody mental.

"Where are you going?" Draco asked after she ignored that he was even there.

"To find Voldemort and end this bloody battle, he hurt Hermione badly, Bella's fangs were laced with poison." Maya said. Draco grabbed her arm and they stopped walking.

"Where. Is. She?" Draco asked firmly.

"In the hospital wing." Maya said.

"Stop everyone, me and Hermione are the only ones that can stop Voldemort, pretty sure we need Potter. That's aside from the point though, you cant do anything to him, I don't know how and I don't know why but you cant do a thing." Draco said. Maya growled but nodded. She walked off to round the people up and bring them back to the hospital. Draco bolted off as a lynx to the hospital wing. McGonagall was probably there already which meant trouble for the wanderers, she knew now.

"Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, I'm afraid you cant be in here while Madame Pomfrey works." He heard McGonagall's voice as he turned a corner and turned into a human. He shoved pasted Potter, Weasel and the professor before they could stop him and found Hermione's bedside. She was awake but she looked like a zombie.

"Hermione, how are you?" Draco asked. She smiled, as much as she could at least.

"Fine for now Draco. I don't know how but Pomfrey found a way to have me awake while the cut is open. She says I need to be awake when I drink the potion to drain out the poison." Hermione said.

"Does it hurt?" Draco asked. Hermione opened her mouth to answer but McGonagall was behind Draco.

"Mr. Malfoy, we have multiple things to speak of. As you probably know, the air is poisoned, so we are going to have to leave." McGonagall said sternly.

"Professor I understand that but I'm not-"

"Draco go." Hermione said. Draco flicked his gaze to Hermione and sighed.

"Be safe." He said as he leaned over and kissed her forehead.

"Always." Hermione whispered. She grabbed his chin and pecked his lips gently before shoving him back softly. He walked out of the room with McGonagall by his side, smiling widely. Potter and Weasel were outside the door pacing. Draco would have joined them if he didn't have to follow McGonagall to her office. She didn't say a thing on the way there, or look at him even, he just stayed as silent as her and walked. She sat behind her desk, sighed and took a deep breath of air before starting. Draco tried not to sneer, he'd almost pushed that side away from him for good, at least at Hogwarts.

"Mr. Malfoy, I want you to answer everything honestly. How many of my students are Animagus'?" McGonagall asked. Solomon being hunted wasn't a good option but maybe she wouldn't ask what he could turn into.

"Five." Draco said as simply and as calmly as he could. He didn't bring up Bella, that wasn't a good idea at all.

"Which ones?"

"Myself, Maya, Pansy, Solomon, and Hermione."

"What can you turn into?" He was afraid she would ask that.

"A lynx but everyone calls me a big grumpy, fluffy cat." Draco grumbled.

"Miss Granger?"

"A fox, a orange and white fox, smaller than most but the bark is much, much louder. I don't think she knows how loud it is." Draco said.

"Miss Black?"

"A wolf, like her dad, she's different though, by day she is red but by night she is black and white." Draco said. He didn't mean to be saying so much, it just seemed to leak, something was wrong.
