Chapter Twenty Seven(Dead)

~•~
"Where have you been?"
Hermione's angry voice caused him to freeze and turn back.

Draco watched her relieved face with and anger was the other thing he noticed.
Oh shit!

"Hermione I-"

"You what Draco Malfoy?" She yelled and walked towards him and he actually walked  backwards.
Merlin she could be scary!

"Do you have any idea how worried I was? Where on earth were you all afternoon "
She said pointing a finger at him while standing right in front of him.

Oh Salazar, he couldn't even go back, the bloody wall had him trapped.
"Hermione, I'm sorry-"

"I won't take your bloody sorry Malfoy", she said.
"Didn't you even once think of at least informing me before planning to disappearing for whole afternoon? " She said.

"Hermione listen to me-"

"No I won't. I'm not finished yelling at you. You men are so damn careless you don't give a damn-"

Her ranting halted when he grabbed her by the waist and reversed her, pinning her to the wall.
"Stop cutting me off Granger." He whispered in her ear causing her to shiver slightly.

She was affected by him.
He smirked at that.

Seeing him smirk Hermione struggled to get out of his hold,
"Let me go Malfoy." She said.

He steeped closer instead.
"Why Granger, are you getting affected? " He purposefully said in a husky whisper and smirked yet again when she gasped.

"I- I'm not a-affected whatsoever" She stuttered.

"Oh really Granger?" He said, burying his head in the crook of her nose. Oh Salazar, she smelt so good. Was that honey? And...yeah, cherries, honey cherries and jasmine.

She gasped as she felt him sniff her scent and heat flooded through her cheeks.

A loud cough caused both of them to whip their heads around, only to find Harry and Ron standing there with very awkward faces and Blaise with a smirk in his tanned face.

Hermione blushed like never before.
Oh Godric, what would've they thought seeing them in a position like that?

"I hope we didn't interrupt anything there" Blaise said his smirk still intact and Hermione flushed darker if that was even possible.

"Sodd off Zabini", Draco sneered at the Italian who just grinned in response.

"Erm, Hermione, we uh- talked to Kingsley. He, He agreed to help us if you provided your memories as the proof. "
Ron said and Hermione furiously nodded, more than glad for the change of topic.

~•~

"You still angry?"

Hermione gave no reply as she continued examining the Aurors office. They were currently in the Ministry, so that she could give her memories and use that as a proof which would help them to arrest William Selwyn and Annabel.

Seeing that for the past ten minutes Hermione hadn't said a single word to him, he understood she was still mad.

"Hermione. I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking."

"Thats your problem. You don't think. What if something had happened to you? Noone would know where you were, Draco." Hermione said and sighed.

"I'm sorry, really. I promise not to do some like that again." He stated and moved towards her.
"Hermione, sorry for worrying you."

She once again, sighed.
"Its okay Draco, just don't do that again.."

"I wont"

~•~

Hermione looked one last time at Harry and both of them apparated,  the familiar sensation enveloped her and in matter of seconds, they had apparated in front of the huge manor.
They were followed by Draco, Ron , Blaise and other Aurors along with Kingsley.
With a signal from him, the Aurors split up and surrounded the manor,  and Hermione along with Harry Ron Draco and Blaise walked discreetly,  frowning as they saw no guards in the front door.

"The guards were here when I came earlier " Draco said.

After checking for any trace of guards they were left confused. None were there.
Even the wards had been put down.
Did that mean that they had already left the place?

As they walked in, a horrible sight met them. The living room was a mess, it seemed someone had a duel right there in the room.

Upon further inspection,  not a single person was found inside the manor.

"It seems we lost them" Kingsley said and Hermione's small ray of hope disappeared.
As her shoulders slumped she felt Draco behind her, he held her hand in a comforting manner and she leaned into him.

"Kingsley!" There was a shout from the upper floor.
"Kingsley, there's a dead body here"

Upon hearing that they hurried upstairs to the room, Hermione guessed was of Annabel's judging by the dark covers and hair taming potions lying in the floor.
Her sister had same wild hair as she, afterall.

But what shocked her was the body in the floor.
William Selwyn lied dead, his body bruised and bloodied.
Oh Merlin!
It was a horrifying sight.

"Shit!" She heard Harry say.

"Who could've murdered him?"
Ron asked scrunching his nose at the sight in front of him.

"Maybe it's Annabel. Maybe she was the one to take the Prophecy" Draco said.

"So she knows" Hermione whispered.

A part of her was relieved that Annabel wouldn't be forced into incest but the other part of her was scared that she still didn't know the lies William fed her.
