Mudblood & Me | Completed

Chapter 34 - We'll see you later then, Draco

Draco's POV

I pushed back through the crowd of Death Eaters, heading back towards my room. That would be the easiest place to apparate from, no-one would know I was gone because they wouldn't see me leave. I had to get back to Hermione, Harry and Ron and tell them where Sirius, Willow and now Ginny were so we could get them out. Before whatever Voldemort was planning to do with them was put into action. I wondered whether they would gather the Order to help because with all the Death Eaters around, the 4 of us alone had no chance against all of them, my family and Voldemort as well. I saw Bellatrix leaning against a wall to the side, she was watching me with feigned disinterest. I looked away hoping she would lose interest in me, it would be a lot more difficult to leave if she was watching me. Using the cover of the crowd of Death Eaters going to the basement, I slipped down a corridor that went the opposite direction to where I wanted to go. I was halfway down another corridor when I finally heard her following, I decided hiding from her would be harder and take longer. So with a quick glance behind me, to make sure she hadn't turned down this corridor yet, I apparated to Grimmauld Place.

Hermione's POV

I had to stop myself from shouting out when Draco suddenly appeared in the living room of Grimmauld Place. Harry, Ron and I had been using the little idea we had of the layout of Malfoy Manor to try and put a plan together for how to rescue Willow, Sirius and now Ginny as well. Sheets of paper were strewn everywhere in the room. Ron and Harry were discussing the layout of the Manor but they fell silent as soon as they also saw Draco. I put my mug of tea to one side and stood up letting sheets of paper fall from my lap that I had been trying to read. I walked over to him, looking up at him, he stood there silent looking back at me.

"What information do you have then, Draco?" I asked, taking a step back again. I could hug him and realise how much I had worried about him later, after I had got Willow back. He seemed taken aback for a second, probably expecting hello first.

"Well, Sirius and Ginny are being kept in the basement. Willow is with my mother, she's been looking after her." He said, I had to stop a sigh of relief. Narcissa was the best person Willow could be with, she wouldn't let anyone hurt a child even if it wasn't hers. "If you give me a piece of paper, I can show you how to get to the basement. That means you can get Sirius and Ginny while I get Willow from my mother." 

"I will go with you to get Willow, she is my daughter." I said, I grabbed a blank sheet of paper from the floor and a quill, handing it to him. He went and sat at the table, drawing out a plan. 

"You can come with me if you want, are you bringing anyone else? Not to say you're not skilled but you can't beat tonnes of Death Eaters on your own." He said as he drew. Harry approached to look at the plan. 

"I've sent out messages to all members of the Order to see if anybody can come." Harry said. "We asked anybody who can to meet here before we go, so we can put together a plan. Normally our plans don't work out but it's good to at least have one." I couldn't help but grin as I thought of all the plans we had made throughout the years that had gone terribly. Draco finished drawing and handed the sheet to Harry, he pointed at the sheet.

"That would probably be the best way to go, I can apparate you in so there will be less attention on you so you can sneak down there. There will also be less Death Eaters that way and they won't be as focused so easier to disarm. If that doesn't work, the most open way is that way and you will have to fight your way through the majority of the Death Eaters. Those are your two options." Draco said, Harry nodded taking the sheet over to Ron who was still sat silently on the sofa, which was unusual for him. "Also, I should warn you Bellatrix is suspicious of me. She was following me before I left, I had to sneak away. So they might notice I'm gone quite soon, which might mean they're expecting an attack." 

"You should go back then." I said. "If we catch them off guard it will be easier. Then apparate back in an hour so you can apparate some of us into the house." He turned openly shocked, he hadn't thought I would want him to leave. "It's not I want you to go, I would prefer you were here and safe but this is what needs to be done." I walked to him. His grey eyes, that looked almost silver in the light, looked down into my brown ones. I realised how this might annoy Ron but I realised I wasn't bothered. I wrapped my arms around him pulling him into a hug, I would kiss him but with Ron and Harry both sat there it would have been too awkward, I rested my head in the hollow of his neck. His arms wrapped around my back a couple seconds later as he lent into the hug, placing a small kiss on the top of my head. I pulled away after what felt like a second, unwilling to let go. "We'll see you later then, Draco." I said, going back to where I was sat on the sofa and I picked up my mug again. With a small nod, he was gone again and there was just the 3 of us in Grimmauld Place.
