Our Always: Harry and Hermione

Chapter 11: Lost

    The man took of his hood and I saw the face. Kingsley was never one to chit chat but always got to the point. I pointed to the living room and stepped aside. I closed the door behind him and followed into the room. He was saying his hellos to the Weaslys while I walked over to Harry and looked at everyone. Kingsley walked over to Harry and me and looked Harry sternly in the face.

     "I must talk to you in private," he said before heading down the hallway to the room of Sirus' family tree room. Harry gave Teddy to me and started to walk away before I reached for his hand.

   "Its going to be alright" he said when he looked at my face. He gave me a small kiss then walked into the room and closed the door. Half an hour later he came out, got Ron, and went back in. Ten minutes later, they came out. Ron went upstairs, Harry and Kingsley went to the door and Kingsley left. Harry went upstairs and I followed with Teddy on my shoulder. When I was passing Ron's room I heard footsteps at the bottom of the staircase to see that it was Lavender. I kept walking until I reached the nursery. When I placed Teddy in his crib, Harry must have heard me because he was leaning against the door frame looking at me. I started to walk into our room when Harry grabs my hand, turns me around and pulls me close to him. I leaned up and started to kiss him. I moved my hands to his always tangled hair while he moved his down my back and rested on my waist. He started making me walk backwards into our room. He closed the door when we parted and I turned around. On the bed was his duffle bag filled with clothes.

    "No! Harry, tell me your not leaving," I say. He goes to the edge of the bed and puts his head in his hands. I went over to him and removed his hands from his tear-stained face.

     "There is one more death eater looking for me. This whole time I thought we were safe, Hermione. I thought we were safe, but this whole time I've put an innocent child and you in danger. I have to go. You'll be safer here without me and at Hogwarts. Professor found a person to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts for the rest of the year," he said. I pulled him closer to me as I began to cry.

     "But I don't want you to go. We just got engaged and your leaving. I-I'll come with you. My mum can watch him-"

     "No, Hermione. It's too dangerous and I need you to be with Teddy. If anything happens to me they will go after the both of you to torched me."

      "Ron's going too isn't he."

      "Yes, but it's only-"

      "To protect me, Teddy, Lavender, and everyone else down stairs."

      "How did I ever deserve you?"

      "By just being who you are." I look into his blue eyes where all I see is love and fear mixed. I pecked him softly and then looked into his bag to make sure he had all the right clothes. Then I went over to the night stand on my side of the bed and open the drawer. I take the Maruader's Map, fold it up and walk over to Harry. He stands up and wraps his arms around my neck while I wrap mine around his waist. I put the paper in his back pocket. He kissed the top of my head. I buried my face in the crook of his neck. We stood like that for a few minutes until Ron and Lavender came through the doorway. I looked at them, then Harry, then finally the ground.

    "When will you guys come back?"
