A/N: Yay! I'm on time for the first time in months 😂 Hope you'll enjoy x

"Harry!" Ginny yells excitedly as Harry descends the staircase. His brilliant green eyes light up upon looking at his love and he gives her a brilliant smile. "Ginny," he breathes, as if he wasn't expecting to see her here. Ginny throws herself at him, hugging him tightly. Only then does Harry notice his best friend standing right behind Ginny.

"Hermione," he says, pulling away. "Oh Harry," Hermione says as she takes a step towards him. He hugs her to his body, crushing her bones.

"I miss you both every single day," he whispers to her softly. Hermione lets out a teary chuckle and hastily wipes the wetness away from her eyes.

"Oh God, Harry!" is all she's able to manage before she completely breaks down in his arms. Ginny soon joins them, and buries her face in Harry's shirt.

"This is embarrassing," Hermione says, pulling away and sniffling.

"Totally," Ginny laughs and looks at Harry. He shakes his head, smiling, and leans down to press his lips briefly against hers.

"How's Ron?" Hermione asks, her lips twisting into a sad frown.

"He's good. He'll be visiting soon," he tells them a bit seriously.

"What happened, Harry? What's wrong?" Ginny asks, recognising his tone.

"Come with me," he says, and begins to walk towards a classroom.

"Well well, if it isn't Potty," drawls an extremely familiar voice. Harry whirls around, his wand pointed directly at none other than Draco Malfoy.

Hermione's mouth drops open and she glares at Draco with all she has. Ginny grabs Harry's arm and lowers it.

"Malfoy," Harry snarls. "Potter," Draco says in a mocking tone, and looks at Hermione. Harry sneers at him and pulls Hermione behind him, shielding her from the blond's amusement filled stare.

"Oh Harry," Ginny sighs.

"My my, Potter. Didn't know you were still Granger's bodyguard," Draco smirks.

"Stay away, Malfoy," Harry snarls.

"I haven't moved an inch, Potter."

"Draco!" Hermione steps up to him and says in a chastising tone. "What are you, 12 again?"

And Draco just smirks at her.

Hermione rolls her eyes, but the corner of her lip twitches.

"What's going on, Hermione?" Harry questions, his eyes wide.

"You might want to sit down first, Harry," Ginny grabs his arm. Harry looks between them both and lets Ginny lead them towards an empty classroom.

"What did you come here for, Harry?" Ginny asks seriously.

"Malfoy," he says menacingly. "Malfoy Senior."

"Lucius?" Hermione's mouth becomes dry. Draco stills beside her and Hermione can see the way his fingers twitch uncontrollably.

"What happened to him?" Ginny asks, noticing the looks on everyone's faces.

Harry lets out a sigh and pinches the bridge of his nose. "He escaped from Azkaban," he deadpanns.

Draco's eyes widen and he takes a staggering step backwards. Hermione grabs his hand and squeezes it. He looks at her with disbelief in his eyes, but she glares at him and pulls him closer.
