"Are you sure you won't be staying deary?" Pleaded Mrs. Weasley.

"No no Mrs. Weasley! I have already caused enough trouble coming uninvited!" Hermione hugged them all goodbye, George showing the way to the door. "Oh sweety, come anytime you want! We really do miss you, oh please do come visit us more often!" A polite smile lit up her lips, but not her eyes as she said, "Ok ok, I promise I will!" More goodbye's were said until the sharp snap of the door behind them blocked the rest of the conversations.

"We need to fond somewhere safe for you Hermione. You know the Death Eaters will probably come here any minute-"

"Yes I know, and that's why I didn't want to stay long." She whispered. "Do you know of any place?"

She was all out of ideas. Scorpius, who Hermione had completely forgotten about, tapped Hermione on the leg to grab her attention. She crouched to be at his height, and he whispered something in her ear. A grin lit up her lips and stretched farther until he was done speaking.

"What? What did he say?" George asked impatiently.

"Well, he said something, which gave me an idea. A very clever idea."

Draco's eyes were bloodshot and itchy, he didn't even need to look at them to know they were. He still had his mother's hand in his. Bright sunlight poured onto the room to illuminate Mrs. Malfoy's face. Her cheeks were full, her long slender nose was free of freckles, and her dark eyes were closed into slumber. She had looked healthier than she had in weeks. Many scars shone palely on her arms and legs, her dress that she hadn't changed out of was in shreds near the bottom. Draco couldn't stand to look at them, they reminding him of his own.

He had only been out of the room twice since they got there. Once to use the restroom and the other was to eat. Otherwise, if you wanted to find him, he would be with his mother. He didn't care that he just sat there and stared at her, waiting for to wake up. He didn't care she looked horrible, that she needed to bathe, that she looked old. He was just glad that she was alive, and she wasn't dead like her husband.

Draco's face twisted. His father. He knew there would come a day when his father died that he just simply didn't care. In fact, he loved the idea of his father being dead. It released him from the bond he held over him, it let him be free and to not "live up to the Malfoy name". He always expected the best of the best from Draco, and when he got it, he would never be pleased, always finding some flaw in him. He could finally be who he wanted to be, be with who he wanted to be with.

And then his mind wandered to Hermione. Oh how he missed her dearly. He would give up anything just to see her again. Her chocolate brown eyes, her sweet soft curly hair, her smooth tipped nose, her savory lips, everything. He just wanted this all to be over. He HAD to find her, if it was the last he did, which hopefully it wasn't.

The oak door creaked open to reveal Cho. She smiled, trying to be polite but her smile faltered once she saw Draco's depressed eyes. She sat next to him, placing a hand on his shoulder.

"You can-"

"Yes, I'm going to leave her here. I can't take her with me. She wouldn't be able to bear it."
Though no tears came to his eyes, he still felt a heavy pain inside him, just waiting to explode. He couldn't push the responsibility of his mother onto Blaise's shoulders, but he had to look for Hermione and his son.

He had planned out everything in his head. Today, he would look for Hermione and hopefully find her. Once he found her, they were going to look for Astoria. He needed to know why people were after him and Astoria. He remembered the golden key they asked about but even Astoria didn't know what was inside the room it was locked to. He sensed that it was evil, dark magic that they wanted possession of, which made sense because her father has been head of the Auror Department for quite some time now. Once they destroyed what the Death Eaters were after... He hasn't figured that part out yet, but he guessed to turn in the Death Eaters and live a peaceful life.
