One Morning

Hermione woke up with the summer
sun shining on her back.� The warm heat
is what woke her from her perfectly undisturbed sleep.� She groans a bit as she rolls over to see
the time.

�8:30�

She is not usually a morning
person and dreads the sound of her alarm clock so she was surprised to see how
awake she was this morning.� She doesn�t
think much of it and simply enjoys the refreshing feeling.

Hermione yawns deeply and climbs
off her bed.� She pulls her nightgown
over her head and dresses for her day.�
From her wardrobe she chooses a pale pink sundress along with white sandals.� She throws her hair into a quick ponytail
and heads out to have a nice breakfast with her parents.

She leaves her bedroom and walks
down the hall towards the kitchen where, no doubt, her parents would be waiting
for her.

�Strange, mom didn�t make coffee
this morning.� She always drinks coffee
first thing in the morning� Hermione thinks to herself.

She enters the kitchen and it
was undisturbed.� No coffee, no
pancakes, no parents.

�What�s going on?� Hermione
thinks to herself.

Rationalizing it she heads to
her parents room assuming that they slept in this morning.� Even morning birds like her parents are
allowed to sleep in every once in a while.

She got to her parents room and
timidly knocked on the door.� When there
was no answer she knocked a bit louder.�
�Mom, Dad, are you awake yet?� she called through the door.

Still no answer.� She got worried.

She slowly opened the door and
breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her parents sleeping soundly in their
bed.]

�Come on guys, get out of bed.�
Hermione said.� But they didn�t
stir.� Hermione walked closer to the bed
and pulled the covers down slightly.

Both of her parents� eyes were
wide open, lifeless and vacant.

Hermione
didn�t even hear herself scream or see the floor speed toward her body.� All she could see is the eyes of her parents�
lifeless bodies.

�God, another one!� Tony asked
Rachel as he sleepily entered the crime scene that was Hermione�s home with two
cups of coffee, one in each hand.� He
hands one to Rachel as he approaches.

�Afraid so.� Everything is exactly like the Malfoy murder
too.� No sign of forced entry, no
defensive wounds, and they were both killed with the killing curse.�� Rachel informed her partner while she sipped
her too hot coffee.� �Only this murder
truly screws the case up.�

�Why do you say that?�

�The victims are muggles.� No magical powers.� Their daughter is a muggleborn witch.� Rachel says to him.� She laughed inwardly at his expression.

�No way!� That means that there simply can�t be any
connections.� Murders tend to kill
either purebloods or muggleborns, not both!�
It has to be random murders?� Tony asks while Rachel tries her best to
collect any magical residue off the sheets.

�I don�t think so.� The Malfoy manner is on the other side of
the country.� And it can�t be random
considering that both of the victim�s children are only children, go to
Hogwarts, and are in the same year.�
This can�t be random.� It has to
do with Hermione and Draco.�

Tony sipped his coffee while he
tried to think.� Unfortunately that just
doesn�t work for him before noon.

�How�s the girl doing?� Tony
asks as his eye catches her quivering form outside with Dumbledore.

�How could you imagine!� Could you imagine finding your parents the
way she did this morning?� The poor
thing hasn�t said a single word since she woke up.�

�She fainted?� Tony asked. �Then
who called it in?�

�The muggle neighbor heard her
scream and called the local police.� We
were contacted as soon as the body was seen.�

�Does the girl have any family
to stay with?� Tony asked Rachel, enable to pull his eyes off the traumatized
Hermione.

�She does but it isn�t safe for
her there.�

�Where will she be staying then?�

�At Hogwarts, with Draco Malfoy.�

Hermione walked into Hogwarts
with the escort of two aurors and Dumbledore.�
She still hasn�t spoken one single word but at least she was no longer
catatonic.� They walk her to her private
dorms.� What they haven�t told her yet
is that she will be sharing a common room with Malfoy.� In fact they haven�t informed her that
Malfoy was at Hogwarts or about his parents.�
Nobody, not even Dumbledore had the heart to break that fact to her.

They walk toward the dorms and
approached the portrait.�

�There will not be a password to
enter your dorms.� We found that it is
not quite secure enough so instead you place your thumb on this pad and it will
read your fingerprint.� Very few people
have access to your rooms besides you,� Dumbledore explained.

They enter the common room and
to Hermione�s horror, Draco Malfoy was sitting in the common room in a chair,
staring off at nothing.

Hermione looked at
Dumbledore.� Her eyes were pleading for
an explanation.

�Your parent�s were not the only
victims.� Mr. Malfoy�s parents were also
murdered about two weeks ago.� We put
you too in the head dorms so you will not be alone.� I know you two have had differences over the years, but you two
need each other right now whether you realize it or not.� Dumbledore explained.

Hermione nodded and sat down on
the couch near Malfoy, she doesn�t even glance his way.

�I�ll leave you two alone.� Maybe you can find comfort in each other
tonight.� If you need help or anything
at all simply call out and someone will be with you soon.� The room has been set to detect when someone
is calling for help but it does not read everything you say, so you will both
still have your privacy.�� Dumbledore
explained.

With that, the aurors and
Dumbledore walked out leaving Malfoy and Hermione alone.
