Chapter 27
Molly sat on the couch, waiting for Arthur to come home. She had refused to attend the Order meeting when she heard they would be discussing Hermione. She couldn't bear to be witness to what was going on.
Arthur came in moments later.
"Arthur?" she asked worriedly.
He came over and kissed her temple. "Sorry, love, but the Order has already voted. Hermione's been deemed an enemy of the Order. She is to be taken into custody if spotted."
Molly sniffled. "She is practically my baby, Arthur. I loved her! I don't know why people can just believe this. It's so ridiculous."
Arthur stood up. "I'm sorry, Molly, but there isn't anything we can do. Now come on, and let's go back into the kitchen. The Order has received a letter from Ronald and Harry."
Molly wiped away her tears and nodded. She followed her husband to the kitchen to make sure that her baby boy was safe and sound.

Hermione and Tom were lying in bed. Rolling over, Hermione gazed at Tom with fondness. He was beautiful. His black hair was all messed up, and this look gave him more sex appeal than ever. She almost snorted at the thought. Who would have thought that she would have ever said that the Dark Lord had sex appeal?
Closing her eyes, she snuggled closer to him. She loved him. He loved her. Everyone's claims that the Dark Lord would never love, or feel any real emotion whatsoever, were false. He was a man filled with passion, determination, and intelligence.
She wished the two of them could have a normal relationship. She wished they had the chance to be a normal couple who could grow old, have children, and be able to go out into public without worrying about someone trying to kill them, or having to kill someone else.
Sighing, she placed a kiss to his temple. This love would never be easy, but she was willing to make that sacrifice. He would protect her, and she would keep him grounded.
Tom's eyes fluttered open, and he smiled when he saw Hermione next to him. "Good morning," he said, kissing her gently.
"Morning, Tom," Hermione greeted with a smile.
He rolled over so he now hovered over Hermione's small body. He kissed her with an eager ferocity as he ground his hips against hers.
Perfection! Hermione purred as she pulled him in or a kiss and moaned into his mouth.
Suddenly, the door flung open, and Tom bolted upright and grabbed his nearby wand. He lowered it as soon as he saw Severus standing there.
"Is there a reason you're disrupting us?" he asked, his voice cold and harsh. Hermione placed a hand on his arm, trying to ease him.
"There is, my Lord," Severus assured him. "Dumbledore has gone to the Ministry. I believe he is attempting to retake control of it."
Tom stood immediately. "We need to go, now! I will not let the Ministry fall from my control, not after working so hard to win Pius over in the first place." He leaned down to give Hermione a kiss. "I'll be back soon."
And then they were gone.
Hermione put her pillow over her face and groaned loudly. "Alone again!" she hissed in disgust. Closing her eyes, she decided to fall back to sleep. It wasn't like she had anything overly pressing to do anyway.

A few hours later, she woke to Narcissa knocking on her door. Stumbling out of bed, she opened the door to let the woman in.
Narcissa took one look at Hermione and then tsked. "Hermione, seriously, get dressed. You can't just lie in bed all day long. Come on."
Hermione smiled at this. "All right, I suppose getting dressed wouldn't be that hard."
Narcissa shook her head and chuckled. "Sometimes I really don't know what we're going to do with you, Hermione. Meet me in the garden for tea as soon as you are finished, all right?"
"I'll be there soon," Hermione said.
Once Narcissa exited the room, Hermione strode over to the closet and flung open the door. She pondered what she should wear. Narcissa and Tom had both insisted that her closet be filled with dresses and gowns and other outfits that she would probably never need, so it was hard to make a selection.
In the end, she grabbed one of the more simple dresses and pulled it off the hanger. "Might as well put this one to good use," she mumbled.
A few minutes later Hermione emerged from the bathroom wearing the light blue gown with little gold flowers embroidered over it. She had pulled her curls back into a loose bun that fell to the base of her neck. Checking herself in the mirror, she made her way towards the garden. She found Narcissa easily, as they had taken ten in this area multiple times. She sat down and smiled at the woman she had come to love as her own mother.
"So, Hermione, how are things?" Narcissa asked with that knowing look in her eyes.
Hermione blushed. "Things are well. I'm happy here in the manor, although I do get restless sometimes. It just seems like there's nothing to do."
Narcissa laughed. "Yes, I feel the same way. But don't worry, my dear, the action will make its way towards you soon enough."
Hermione sipped her tea. Mmm, peppermint. My favorite, she thought.
"Where has Draco been?" Hermione asked then. "I haven't seen him in ages."
"Oh, he's been off somewhere with Blaise. Probably trying to avoid all the wedding plans."
Hermione's eyes widened. "Wedding plans?" she gasped. "So he and Pansy will be married soon?"
"Yes, at the end of the year," said Narcissa with a nod. "We're having a ball in a few days. You're invited, of course."
No wonder Draco has been M.I.A., she thought as she gave Narcissa a polite nod. I would be hiding too, if I had to marry somebody I didn't love—
As the two of them talked well into the afternoon, Hermione really enjoyed Narcissa's company. The woman was warm and caring, and in some small way reminded her of Mrs. Weasley.
Hermione felt her heart constrict when she thought of the Weasley matriarch. Molly had been like her mother whenever she was away from home, always looking out for her. But she doubted the woman would ever care for her now. She was probably planning her death along with the rest of the Order members.
A sudden wave of nausea overcame Hermione. She gripped the table to keep from falling over. Narcissa immediately stood and rushed to her side.
"Hermione? Are you all right?"
She shook her head. "No, I don't feel well at all. Can you please help me to my room?"
"Yes, of course," Narcissa nodded. She helped Hermione stand, allowing her to lean against her. "Just take a deep breath, Hermione. I'm sure you'll be fine."
Hermione simply groaned. With Narcissa's help she wobbled up to her room. As soon as they were there, she bolted for the bathroom.
Narcissa waited until Hermione finished. She could hear her throwing up the tea and biscuits they'd just consumed. Twenty minutes later, when Hermione emerged, she did not look well at all, and Narcissa immediately helped her to bed.
"Oh dear, you look as pale as a ghost. And you seem to be running a fever."
Hermione started to cry. "I'm sorry," she said as she curled onto her side. She felt terrible all of the sudden, from out of nowhere.
Narcissa sighed. "Hermione, you have nothing to be sorry for. Sometimes people just get sick for no reason. It isn't your fault."
"But I feel bad. I can't help but feel like I've been getting in the way, or I don't know, that I just suck somehow."
"Dear, stop throwing yourself a pity party, and get some rest," she admonished her. "You need it. I will be back in a few hours to check on you." Narcissa placed a cool cloth on Hermione's forehead, and said, "Hopefully that will help the fever die down. Just close your eyes and breathe."
Hermione nodded and closed her eyes. She began to recite Hogwarts, a History in her mind. She fell asleep almost instantly.
