F I V E

Draco walked through Azkaban, following a guard. He was taking him to his father. Draco wasn't happy to see his father...well he rarely referred to him as father.

"He's through this way." The guard allowed Draco to walk to him alone. He saw his father for the first time since the war. His head was shaved, he was very skinny...but he was so angry.

"My boy, nice of you to visit me..." He croaked out. He was weak. Draco crosses his arms and stayed a distance away from him.

"Where is she?" He said clearly. The room echoed a bit, so he knew he was loud enough.

"Be a bit more specific." He said groaning in pain. Draco couldn't stop the smile that grew on his face, seeing his father in this much pain.

"Granger." Once her name left his lips, the room was filled with cackles.

"You fell for her didnt you...Your mother always said you would marry her. If i allowed her to live long, that is."

Draco walked towards him and grabbed his scalp so he looked up at him.

"Where is she?" He said gritting his teeth.

"Why would I know? I've been in this dump ever since—," Draco punched him in the face.

"Tell me. Now!" He yelled. He had a feeling he knew exactly where she was, and he didn't appreciate that he knew.

"Maybe you should ask her 'friends' that's where i would start. But you completely disregarded them from options right? Why would her friends take her away from you. Unless..."

It all clicked for Draco. Before leaving he kicked his father where it hurt then ran back to his friends. He knew exactly who to ask...this could be solved and he would see her once more.

Pansy Blaise and Theo were waiting at the gates when they saw Draco sprinting for them.

"I know where to find her." His friends all shared a look with eachother.

"Come on now! We don't have much time."

Hermione listened to the door shut. She watched the three of them walk in the snow and knew then she didn't have much time.

She ran over to the door and jiggled the handle. They put a lock on it? She was furious. But there was one way out.

She put on a jacket, not nearly warm enough for the weather, and opened the window. The drop was not that far, but it still made her nervous.

"You can do this," She breathed. She took a deep breath and let go. The fall down was nothing, but she heard a crack when she landed.

She bit her lip from screaming out. Her ankle most definitely was broken or sprained. She tasted blood on her lips, but toughened up. She needed to go. She started walking, wincing with every step.

She just missed Draco. He would've kept her safe. And warm. She thought back on the memories they shared, to distract from the pain.

She smiled as she entered the woods, the snow laid lightly on the branches creating a magical scene.

She began to cough and became over heated. She couldn't breathe, something was wrong.

Her vision became blurry and she felt the cold snow beneath her hand before she succumb to the darkness.

Miles ahead of her was Ginny, Harry, and Ron. They were in a fight as usual.

"Ronald! You are the largest idiot I have ever met!" Ginny allowed her fiery temper to unleash.

"I'm sorry I'm trying to save her from the type of people who killed our brother!"

"He isn't that person though! He is different, obviously because she loves him! That's why we are going to find him and return her. We are at fault here!"Ginny screamed.

Harry had to intrude.

"Ron this is the plan, if you are not happy with it, go home. You two are giving me a headache over this bickering. We never should have taken her in the first place, because she's extremely sick now! We have deprived her of proper help." Harry stated. Ron's face lightened a bit and he stayed quiet.

"Now that we are a distance from the house, let's apparate." He said holding a hand out to the hot tempered siblings.

They both took it and ended up in front of Hogwarts.

Harry heard fighting in the distance.

"How do none of us know where they live!" Harry knew that voice, and by the sound of it, they have been figured out.

"Malfoy!" Harry called over. Ginny lifted her head to see Draco Malfoy storming over to them.

"Where the hell is she?" His voice boomed, making Ron stand up quickly.

"We are here to take you to her. I'm so sorry we took her away from you..." Ginny said before Ron could speak.

Draco clenched his teeth waiting to be taken to her.

Pansy waited for him to flip out, but he never did.

"Okay, Lets go then." Blaise said breaking the awkward silence. Ginny held her hand out for everyone to latch onto. Draco was the first to hold it.

He did not need to be separated from her any longer. He was so excited to finally hold her again.

They landed in the soft snow, crunching underneath their feet. Ginny ran inside to get Hermione while the other waited outside.

"We can explain why we took her Malfoy...It all makes sense." Draco held up his hand.

"We can talk later." He stared at an opened window, and wondered why would a window be open in the middle of winter?

Ginny's head popped out of the window and showed her fearful look, but Dracos eyes already spotted footprints from the ground underneath of the window to the forest.

"She's gone!" She called.
