Height walked around the little pool of water, his eyes scanning the area carefully. He’d heard the splash of water which led him to think that she’d jumped or fell in, there was no over growth for her to be hiding under and be able to breathe. With a sigh he walked over to the edge and looked in the dark water, if she’d fallen in there was a big chance that she was unable to swim to the surface and it had taken him too long to find the pool. She was dead, if she’d fallen in. Height muttered a spell then flicked a bright little light off of his wand and watched carefully as the light drifted down to the bottom of the pool, lighting the entire thing for a moment showing him no dead bodies and no hiding prisoners.

“Shit” He muttered looking around and listening carefully “Where the hell are you, you bitch?”

Of course there was no answer, not that he was expecting there to be one but it would have been nice. Slowly, he started to walk back to his camp hoping that maybe she’d been turned around and would somehow end up running by his camp or entering it. Without knowing what else to do he sat down and looked around, when she got back he wasn’t going to play around anymore, he was going to have his fun with her for as long as he can before he killed her. He wasn’t lying, he did intend to remove the fetus that was growing in her womb and he was going to send it back to Malfoy before he mutilated her and sent her back piece by piece.

~~~//~~~

“I’ve spoken to my mother” Olivia said as she walked in to Draco’s office “She is talking to some fellow vampires, including the one that changed her, she refuses to let anyone else come with her so we’ll just have to wait for her to get back to us”

“Damn it” Draco growled, waiting was not something that he was very good at “She does know that we’re on a bit of a tight schedule, right?”

“Yes” Olivia said, a little forcefully “We have to wait but she is moving as fast as she can”

“Andromeda is contacting some werewolves” Luna told them as she entered the room “And will get back to us as soon as she can” Draco dropped his head down to the desk grumbling about everyone taking too long.

“Why is Andromeda contacting the werewolves?” George asked, as he came in with the help of Rita in to the office and on to one of the couches that was by the fire.

“Because she was in contact with some of the wolves that Remus knew while raising Teddy when he was a baby” Luna explained “So, she’s able to just reconnect with them and explain what’s been happening”

Draco leaned back in his chair and looked around the room, realizing in that moment how lucky he really was. His parents had never had anyone that would have rallied up behind them in a situation like this one and there he sat surrounded by people. But were they there for him or simply for Hermione? He looked over to the couch near the fireplace and wondered what his beautiful fiancée would say about the relationship that was forming right in front of them. Rita hadn’t bothered to do her hair which was surprisingly long considering most of the time is was tightly curled and pinned around her head, now it hung down to her elbows, straight and was swept over one shoulder as she made George a cup of tea and then one for herself. Even though he was reading something George would occasionally look over at Rita in wonder, like he just realized that she was a woman and that she was caring for him which seemed odd to him. Suddenly, the door leading in to the study opened and Ginny Weasley all but ran in to the room with an excited energy that made everyone else nearly as excited.

“I went to Hogwarts” Ginny announced.

“You talked to McGonagall?” Draco assumed “What can she do to help us?”

“Nothing” Ginny looked confused “She’s pissed off as one would assume she would be because she adores Hermione but I didn’t go there to talk to her”

“Then who?” Luna asked “Neville?”

“He would have been a good idea if we had any hint of the plants that were around her” Ginny answered “But we got nothing like that, I went to see Hagrid”

“Hagrid?” Draco sighed “How the hell does that help us?”

“He brought me to talk to the Centaurs” Ginny answered “They were iffy at first, they remembered that she was kind to them on more than one occasion but you know how they are…they don’t want to get involved with the fights of Wizards but…”

“But?” Draco asked.

“The minute I said that she was pregnant they got antsy” Ginny explained “They saw it in a whole other light, I told them where Height was last seen in but that was all I had, they said it was enough”

“That’s good” Luna said, hugging her “Thank you so much”

“Yeah” Draco said “Thank you, Weasley”

~~~//~~~

“You should lay down” Rita said to George as they made their way back in to the bedroom that he’d been staying in “You’ve been awake all day and you just walked all around the house”

“I am not a baby” George pointed out “I will sleep when I am tired”

“I didn’t say sleep” Rita muttered, walking away from him and towards the bathroom so she could get some potions to clean his wound with “Just lay down”

“Fine” He snapped, it was like trying to fight with his mother when he claimed that he was sick when he was a kid. She knew, of course, that he was lying so she refused to give him a potion to make him feel better (some of them would actually make him sick) but wouldn’t let him play in his room, hang out with Fred because he “could get him sick” and he was forced to just lay on the couch doing nothing but ‘healing’.

“I’ve got to clean the wound” Rita said, coming back in pulling her long blonde hair in to a pony tail so it wouldn’t get in the way of her work “Lay back”

“Okay” George sighed, he leaned back against the pillows behind him.

He watched as Rita’s small, pale hands gently unbuttoned his shirt while her eyes stayed locked on his. She didn’t hide her nerves that well, he could see that she was rather shy to be taking his shirt off, this would have been the time when he or Fred would have made a joke or tried to make her feel more uncomfortable but he just couldn’t make himself do it. Rita pushed his shirt open and assessed him for a moment, George Weasley had a pretty nice body which didn’t really surprise her. He had abs, pectoral muscles and muscular arms, the wound on his lower stomach was angry, red and swollen which made her frown because it looked like it was getting infected. In the magical world it should be nearly impossible for an infection to be setting in, she growled at her apparent lack of healing abilities. She cleaned the wound, gave him a potion to drink and dripped a few potions in to the cut and watched as it knitted itself together again.

“That should be good” Rita told him with a small smile “I’ve got a pain potion here if you want it…it will make you sleepy because you heal best when you’re asleep”

“Okay” He looked at her as she was closing up his shirt for him, he made a split second decision and leaned up towards her, cupping the back of her head and pulling her towards him.

“George!” Rita gasped, pulling her head back a bit with wide eyes, she lowered her gaze to his lips and then snapped back to his eyes “What are you doing?”

“Kissing you” He answered, pulling her head towards him again while looking at her lips they were parted nervously as he pulled her towards him and then they were pressed to his own. It was a sweet kiss, nothing demanding or sexual it was like they were both trying to figure out what ever it was that was happening between them.

“You shouldn’t do that” Rita whispered when he pulled away from her, their lips still close enough to kiss again, her eyes were closed but his were open, taking in the contours of her face “I’m too old…”

“Shh” George whispered, then pulled her to him again kissing her gently, this time urging her to open up and allow him entrance which she did after a few seconds of overthinking. He reached behind her head and gently pulled her long, blonde hair from the ponytail and ran his fingers through the thick locks, loving the feeling of it against his skin.

“So, I was thinking whoa…” Draco stood in the door for a second looking from Rita to George who’d just pulled back from their kiss “Whoa…never mind, I will just…er…um…yeah” He walked out the door with a small smirk. He heard George chuckle as he pulled the door closed behind him.

“Is everything okay?” Luna asked as she and Ginny stood a little ways down the hallway watching Draco walk closer shaking his head.

“Yeah” He snorted a little, his mind was still locked on Hermione but he was able to appreciate love when he saw it “Just caught George and Rita making out”

“Ew” Ginny muttered with a look of disgust on her face “She’s like…old”

“Ginny don’t be judgmental” Luna smiled “They’re in love, it’s sweet”

~~~//~~~

Hermione stood outside the moss covered, brick building that was in the middle of the woods. It was early morning, she hadn’t slept well and she hadn’t felt well at all that morning but it was her mental battle that had really kept her uncomfortable. There was mist clinging to the ground, birds chirping, the sunlight filtered through and made the air seem…magical and she loved it in that area. Nausea overcame her again and she dry heaved a bit, leaning back against a tree that was near her and putting her hand over her mouth wondering when this flu or stomach bug was going to go away. She’d taken a few nausea control potions but nothing seemed to help and she was worried that maybe, when she got home, she’d have to go to Saint Mungo’s to make sure that she was okay.

“Miss Granger” Said a familiar, deep voice “You should take this morning sickness potion…you’ll feel better”

“Morning sickness?” Hermione turned to him, she instantly felt her throat constrict at the sight of Severus Snape standing before her “I’m not…at least, I don’t think I am”

“You didn’t know” He looked uncomfortable “I apologize, I assumed you did”

“The last time I saw you, you were dead!” Hermione accused, she’d heard what he’d said, that she was pregnant and she’d deal with that later but at that particular moment the topic of his apparent rise from the dead was more interesting and less terrifying.

“The last time you saw me, I was dying” He corrected “But I did not die”

“Apparently” Hermione said “Either you’re truly alive or for some reason you are the person that I wanted to see first when I died”

“I am alive” Severus confirmed with a small snort “I’ve been happily living here and away from bratty students, annoying professors and just plain assholes” Hermione nodded at his words, understanding that for a man that had been bullied his entire life living in the middle of no-where was likely a dream “Why were you running for your life with your hands bound in front of you?”

“Do you not get the Daily Prophet?” Hermione asked him in surprise and he shook his head muttering something about idiots with too much power “Arzodius Height, the now former Chief Warlock of the Wizengamont, had been kidnapping half-breed children and selling them to...well, less than reputable people, loads of them were…” She lowered her head to her hands and sobbed out the word “killed” and started to cry in earnest. Severus made a face to himself at the show of emotion but rubbed her back anyway, allowing her to sob out her emotions.

“What does that have to do with you?” He asked when she didn’t start talking immediately “Are you a creature now?” She shook her head “Did you get married to a creature or is the baby part creature?”

“No” Hermione answered before she shrugged “Yes…I mean, Draco is half-Veela so I guess…does that count?”

“Draco?” Severus repeated then snorted “I thought you were married to Weasley?”

“Divorced” Hermione answered, she heard him suck in a small breath knowing that magical divorce was really bad “It’s been a whole shit show”

“I see” He said “Let’s go back in to the house and have some tea, I would really like you to get some sleep as well” When she raised her eyes to his to argue he glared at her “I know that you didn’t sleep last night, while we have tea you can tell me all about this Arzodius Height and how he has anything to do with you running through the woods for your life”

They walked in to the rather large manor home behind Snape. She watched as he walked in to the kitchen and started to make the tea for them both, never in the whole world did she think that she’d ever see Severus Snape again and never did she think that she would want to. His hair was shorter than it had ever been, like it had been really short at one point but was growing out now, the back was still relatively short but the front was nearly touching his chin. He seemed years younger than he’d been when she’d known him and that made her smile at his back, the manor was amazing, it was a huge moss covered brick building with magical and muggle gardens and many rooms. Why he needed such a big house was unknown to her but it seemed to fit him perfectly, a little dark, a little foreboding and yet magical all at the same time.

“Do you have a family, Professor Snape?” Hermione asked and he snorted shaking his head.

“I do not” He answered “And call me Severus, I am no longer a professor”

“Sorry” Hermione whispered, he turned and looked at her for a moment.

“You seem changed” Severus told her “I’m not sure I like it”

“What do you mean?” She asked.

“You were a pain in my ass” He further explained “Loads of questions, know-it-all status, confidence in what you did…in everything that you did. You were the only student, Weasley twins included, that had the balls to actually steal from my personal potions stores” She looked shocked and he snorted “Oh yes, I knew about that. I was going to give you a detention but Minerva wouldn’t allow it, pointing out that what you had done was indeed wrong but it was brilliant that you’d successfully brewed Polyjuice potion in your second year which, I’ll admit, was impressive”

“So I have changed?” Hermione asked and he nodded, giving her the tea and sitting in front of her across the table.

“You are quiet, unsure and just seem like your personality has completely changed in to something you were never supposed to be” Severus explained, when she raised her brows he confirmed “Docile, meek, the personality of a pureblooded witch”

“Oh” Hermione lowered her eyes a bit.

“So” He changed the subject “Tell me about this Arzodius Height”

“He took over about the Wizengamont about a year before I testified in the Malfoy case” Hermione said “He learned to hate me because I wouldn’t lie and say that the Malfoy men…err… molested me or did anything disgusting to me. I told the truth and he wasn’t happy with it”

“How did the court rule?” Severus asked, she noted that he was trying to learn news about the Malfoy family without asking directly.

“Lucius Malfoy got life in Azkaban” Hermione told him “Draco and Narcissa got five years house arrest” She looked down at her hands that were wrapped around the teacup “Narcissa got sick and died before her house-arrest was up and Lucius died shortly after, Draco became a hermit that refused to leave his manor home after that”

“What happened to you?” He asked, she saw a deep sadness in his black eyes at the news she just shared.

“I was married to Ronald Weasley” She answered “He wanted to have a family, I didn’t get pregnant, he claimed that it was my fault that I couldn’t get pregnant” Snape snorted “He divorced me, the world learned about it and I ended up living in a whorehouse in Knockturn alley” He sucked in a breath and raised a brow, a slightly interest brow that made her a little uncomfortable, but he didn’t say anything “I wasn’t a whore, just living there…I probably would have been a whore had Draco not offered me a place to live”

“A kept woman” He said, amused.

“NO!” She snapped, he was actually surprised she didn’t smack him “I was not kept, I had a job and I took care of the house as well as made sure his hermit status was changed!”

“There’s some fire” He smirked “Let me guess the rest. You took it upon yourself, because you’re a Gryffindor, to take down Height, found out what a scumbag he is but ended up putting yourself in the line of fire and he…”

“Kidnapped me” She finished with a nod of her head “He’s looking at some severe Azkaban time, he took me, told Draco that he had however many days that he gave him, I don’t know, to get him out of England or he’d kill me”

“Was he attempting to kill you when you ran?” Snape asked.

“No” She admitted “But he was threatening to rape me that night” There was a twitch in Severus’s cheek but he said nothing to that “I have a question”

“Yes?” He asked.

“You said I’m displaying a ‘pureblooded witch’s’ personality now as opposed to my other personality” Hermione said and he nodded his confirmation “Do you think that’s why Draco has decided that he ‘loves’ me?”

“I’m not going to even pretend to understand your guys relationship” Severus answered “I’ve never been able to in the past” She looked off with a huff “You two have always been passionate about one another, I saw that, Lucius saw that…everyone saw that. Had you gone to Draco in the war and said ‘I’ll stand by your side if you come to the side of the light’ he would have followed you over there happily” She lowered her head to her hands and wiped away some tears on her cheeks “I think if you went right back to that pain in the ass you were in school he’d still love you…maybe even more than he already does”

“What’s that?” Hermione lifted her head and looked out at the later afternoon light that was filtering through the trees, there was a thundering noise. He joined her at the window and looked surprised just like she did.

“The Centaurs are on the move” He answered, confused.

~~~//~~~

Height sat in front of the fire that was roaring in the middle of his camp, he angrily threw a stick in to the flames. In about ten minutes the sun would be fully down and then Hermione would be running around those woods alone and unprotected. It was getting close to the full moon, thank Merlin for that, he didn’t want to make her stronger than she already was and he didn’t want her death to be a quick one. He’d suffered enough because of her and it was time for her to suffer because of him, with a sigh Height leaned back in his seat and looked around again. He’d raised his wards to keep out all of wizard kind and with that in mind he grabbed some food and set about cooking something for dinner, slightly depressed that he wouldn’t be indulging in Grangers sweet little cunt later in the night.

“Arzodius Height” It was a woman that spoke his name and for a moment he thought that maybe Hermione had, stupidly, come back to the camp but it wasn’t. The woman walking towards his warded camp was almost painful to look at because of her beauty, she had curves that were meant to make men such as himself want to kill themselves to prove their worthiness, her hair was dark, long, thick and wavy, her round face was pale white with small, full red lips and wide red eyes. A vampire.

“What?” He snapped, his hands shaking slightly as she walked slowly towards where he was standing, walking right through the wards that he’d placed “You can’t…you can’t walk through…”

“I think I just did” She answered “I am neither human nor just a witch anymore. I am a vampire” She licked her lips slowly and a small smirk pulled at her beautiful lips “You stole something of mine about ten years ago, I got it back but I am not appeased” Her lips pulled back over her pearly white teeth with her sharp canine teeth gleaming in the setting sun “I want to be appeased”

“You can’t get me here!” He snapped, moving in to a bright ray of sunlight “You’ll burn”

“The sun sets in” She cocked her head to the side “Six and a half minutes” She smiled “Then you’ll be ours” As she spoke he saw more vampires step out from behind trees.

“And us” Another voice spoke from another side of his camp and while he couldn’t see who spoke he saw glittering yellow eyes “You’ve taken more from us than you have the vampires…and we don’t have to wait for the sun to go down to exact our revenge”

“Ah” Height smirked “But which one will get me?” He could work with this “The vampires that have to wait another five minutes or the werewolves who could take me now but have to fight the vampires after” He smirked again “Decisions, decisions”

“We can always take you” A man spoke and stepped forward, he had a strange beauty to him, leaves and twigs in his hair along with dirt all over him along with natural clothing, he was a Fey and behind him coming in all shapes and sizes were others like him “We’ll hold you until we know who get’s you”

“Or we could take you, if you like” A Centaur stepped forward with his whole herd behind him “You’ve not taken anything from us but you have taken a pregnant woman who fought very hard to help us once, we owe her”

“We don’t mind taking you either” A beautiful blonde haired woman said, he felt her allure right away but it wasn’t as strong as it could be, she was a half-Veela.

His eyes slipped to his wand that was sitting near the fire, it was the closest to the French half-Veela, he would lose a fight with any of them except maybe her. Height took a deep breath and jumped for his wand, as he ran to the wand he heard the wolves growls their anger, the Fey scream in surprise and the Vampires hiss but it was the half-Veela that stopped him. She didn’t step forward, slam out any magic or scream because she didn’t need to all she did was start dancing. His body stopped moving, he fell to his knees and his eyes locked on her beautifully moving body, she smiled at him and held out her hand to which he handed over his wand happily. Fleur lifted her head slightly and he stood up and allowed one of the Fey people to grab his arms without a fight, until she stopped dancing.

“She’s not here!” He screamed immediately “She ran off in to the woods!”

“So she could be hurt” Someone spoke “But not as hurt as you’re gong to be”

“I never found her” Height snapped “I looked everywhere but she was not there…I don’t know where she went…she is simply, missing”

“Well then” The Vampire woman said, walking over to him and showing off her teeth “Maybe you’ll simply go” She flicked her hand in the air “Missing”
