Chapter 41

Draco didn’t want to leave Harry’s side, after what happened he would have preferred to have locked up his mate in his bedroom, never letting him leave. But with a smile and small kiss He became putty, agreeing to anything that Harry asked of him. Including giving Hermione a tour of the Manor, which could have waited. He knew why Harry did it; he wanted to spend time with Aubrey without him there clinging to his side; more than likely to talk about him.

What Harry didn’t know was; this could have become a disaster. He could have lost his mate not long after finding him. That was unacceptable, which meant that he would have to keep an even closer eye on the trouble maker. Maybe he had the perfect accomplice with the witch standing next to him?

“How are you doing after your ordeal?” Turning to stop Hermione from going any further down the hall.

“Honestly I don’t know why I left with Harry; I don’t think I have ever seen him so scared before.” Hermione said shivering from the residual fear left over.

“I would call that Gryffindor stupidity.” He smirked knowing this would bait Hermione.

“Are you telling me if your father wasn’t holding you back…You wouldn’t have done the same thing?” Hermione said her foot tapping in agitation.

“Of course not…” He let a slight chill come to his voice; his eyes narrowing as he looked over Hermione’s head, at the wall. “I would have killed the bastard for even looking at my mate.”

Looking down at Hermione who was shivering when she spoke, “Some of us don’t have a killing instinct whenever someone we love is threatened; usually we only want to protect them.”

He gave the witch a smile, the one he reserved for people he actually liked, “Then that is what makes you perfect for what I have in mind.” Letting Hermione think for a bit as he showed her where her chambers were located before continuing. “I need someone to be there when I cannot; to keep Harry from finding trouble…”

Hermione turned around at his words, “I already do that I don’t need someone to ask me to protect Harry.”

“No that is where you are wrong; you jump in after him when he is in trouble. What I need is someone who will contact me when something is amiss; so I can be there to protect him.” He was almost pleading now; this instinct to protect was driving nails into his skull. Most of the time he isn’t even there to protect his mate, but this was a close second to help the urges he was feeling.

Hermione gave him the look, the one that she used were she was fitting another piece into the puzzle she called a brain. “Give me one reason why I should do this for you?”

He wanted to pull his hair out, did the witch always have to be so difficult, always asking why to everything she encountered. Letting his breath out slowly Draco tried to find his equilibrium again, but failed. Dropping his head, he pleaded with the witch, “Please, I can’t sleep at night, I worry when he isn’t next to me, even if he is in my sight. I have one primal thought that is always circulating in my head…saying protect with each beat of my heart.”

“Is it always like this with every Dominant that finds their mates?” Hermione said her brain still asking why to everything she hears.

“No…Yes…I don’t know… But that is what it is like for me.” He said confused by her simple question.

Hermione smiled and patted his shoulder, “Maybe you should ask why more often.” She turned to leave then looked over her shoulder. “And Draco all you had to do was say please.”

He still wanted to pull his hair out, the witch was beyond frustrating; but she agreed to do it. So in a way the frustration he felt was well earned. He wondered if an hour was enough time for Harry; well it had better be, because that was all the time he was going to get.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It took Harry nearly thirty minutes to get Draco to leave him alone with his grandmother. After prying the blond from his body, he ordered Draco to take Hermione on a tour. Now an hour after Draco and Hermione left he was sitting with his Grandmother, telling her everything that had happened since the last time she had seen him. Although he had written her many times, telling her the same things, it was so much better to tell her in person.

“So I take it Hermione took the news well even including about you and Draco?” His grandmother said with a knowing smile she used all the time.

“Yea…Grandmother you may have been right; I should have told her everything from the beginning…But it worked out in the end.” He said, giving a sheepish smile from behind his bangs.

“Yes well after you get to be my age, wisdom pours in.” His grandmother said her tone very similar to the one that Lucius liked to use.

He smirked in her direction, “Oh’ great one, if you are so wise then when are you going to forgive Tom?”

His Grandmother looked offended, which was hard since she was also smiling, picking up a pillow, throwing it at him, “Listen here brat…You have enough on your plate without worrying about my love life.” His grandmother started laughing with her own personal joke, sounding more like music than laughter. “I will forgive Tom, when I feel he deserves forgiveness, and not a moment sooner.” She said smirking.

Draco and Hermione walked in to with them both laughing, when Hermione walked forward holding her hand out to his grandmother saying, “Hi I’m Harry’s friend, Hermione Granger.”

His grandmother lightly clasped his friend’s hand, “Please sit, there is no reason to be so formal around me. I have heard so much about you.” Hermione sat next to him while, Draco sat on the other side already continuing his previous protective streak. Making him blush with his grandmother’s words, and Hermione’s giggled.

Hermione looked pleased that he had talked about her saying, “Harry has told me a lot about you too.”

His grandmother smiled, “I hope nothing too bad.”

Hermione quickly answered, “Of course not, everything good…I mean…” Faltering in embarrassment; her face growing red.

His grandmother smirked, “I know dear, just having a bit of fun,” She then looked at Draco her smirk turning into a smile, “So Draco, how is your father doing? I haven’t seen Luke in ages.”

Hermione looked at his grandmother then looked at Draco chuckling at her term for his father, when Draco answered, “He is doing wonderful, and I know he can’t wait to see you. He did get tied up in some nasty business though.” Draco’s face darkened probably from remembering what happened a couple of hours ago. “I expect him to be back anytime, and Severus should be coming along soon.”

“That is wonderful news those two can take Hermione here to see her parents…They are probably worried sick from what I heard happened earlier.” She said, smiling softly at Hermione.

“Thank you mam…But I don’t think it is a great idea having both of my Professors coming to my parents house.” Hermione said looking a little worried.

His grandmother smirked, “Nonsense it is good for those two to get out in the world… And please call me Aubrey, mam makes me feel old.”

Harry and Draco laughed already used to his grandmother’s way around things while Hermione looked perplexed. One thing was certain if his grandmother asked for it that was how it happened.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Severus grumbled to Lucius, “I can’t believe that woman is having us escort Ms. Granger to her parents house; she would have been a better candidate.”

Lucius stopped walking forcing him to stop as well whispering as if he was afraid someone would overhear his words, “I have said it many times. That the Heiress is the very devil; only now do you believe me…When she had you doing something you don’t want to do?”

He continued walking answering his companion, “I just don’t see the sense in this, what would it accomplish with us being there. If I remember correctly it was supposed to be Harry, Aubrey, and Draco going to pick up the witch, bringing her to Malfoy Manor.”

Lucius continued moving, still speaking in hushed tones, “There is no logic when it comes to her, only her whims and because she said it in front of the Dark Lord; he agreed to her whims.” Lucius stopped in front of some doors. “Here this is where Ms. Granger is; let’s get this over with before I change my mind.”

Severus knocked on the doors before calling out, “Are you ready Ms. Granger?”

The answering reply was muffled, “Yes be there in a moment.” It did not take Ms. Granger long for her to make an appearance. “Let's go it has already been a long day and from what the Dark Lord has planned for tonight it is only going to be longer.”

Severus and Lucius walked quickly to the floo room, with the witch following them almost having to run to keep up with their long strides. It was the only room in the house that allowed apparition, and considering they would be going to a muggle residence that excluded flooing.

Lucius turned towards him smirking, “I take it you will be the one to side-along Ms. Granger?” Lucius didn’t even wait for him to answer and apperated to the empty yard not too far from the Granger’s residence.

He turned to Hermione, “Come here this shouldn’t take long, and I hope you are going to do most the talking.” Hermione nodded her head, and walked close to him; grabbing her arm so he could transport them to the same location Lucius disappeared too.

Hermione took the lead taking them to her front door, she didn’t even knock only walked in, yelling for her parents that she was home. They stood in the doorway hearing the witch’s parents come around the corner very happy to see their daughter.

“We were so worried…”

“We shouldn’t have ever let you with that man…”

“What were you thinking?”

The questions kept coming to the point he didn’t know who was asking what; it was only making his head hurt worse than it had before he was assigned to this insane task. After a bit Ms. Granger squirmed her way out of her parents embrace and turned to look behind her. “Mother, Father I would like to introduce you to Professor Snape, and Professor Malfoy.”

Ms. Granger’s father looked up giving them each a calculating look before asking, “My daughter isn’t in any kind of trouble is she?”

He was about to answer but Ms. Granger was quicker to speak, “Of course, I am not in any kind of trouble. Harry’s grandmother asked them to come so we could clear some things up.” Ms. Granger dragged her parents into the sitting room waving for them to join as well.

Severus was uncomfortable with the situation, and by looking at the lines showing on Lucius’s face he could tell he was too. Ms. Granger didn’t wait long before she started explaining what happened. “You see that was Harry’s uncle and he wasn’t supposed to be the one picking Harry up his grandmother was supposed to. His Uncle is not very nice to Harry and when I saw him there I couldn’t let him leave by himself with that man. Harry’s grandmother asked them to help so these two picked us up at his uncle’s house and brought us to his grandmother. After the worry she went through, Harry’s grandmother asked them if they would bring me here so I could explain in person.”

Ms. Granger said all that in a rush, barely breathing between sentences. Granted her story if a little farfetched could be plausible. What was really shocking was that her parents bought it, agreeing with her story even if they both still looked a little worried. Her father was the first to speak sounding stern, “Regardless of the facts, you still put yourself in danger Hermione. I should ground you through the holidays after that stunt you pulled.”

The witch truly could act, by letting her bottom lip tremble, and her eyes water slightly, “Please Father…I didn’t mean to make you worry…This is the first year that Harry gets to spend Christmas with a loving family and he asked me to join them…”

The witch’s mother spoke up then wrapping an arm around her daughter, “She had pure intentions when she did it, I don’t think punishing her would stop her from doing it in the future.”

“Very well, but next time try to warn us better than, yelling that this was something you had to do…” Still sounding stern Mr. Granger smiled down at his daughter giving her a hug then looked at Severus. “Thank you for everything you have done today, is it possible you could bring our daughter back to Harry?”

This was too easy, nothing ever happened this easy for Severus; he thought for sure this was going to turn into some kind of shouting match and both he and Lucius would have to leave. For once trying to sound anything but sarcastic he answered, “It was no problem to help today and bringer Ms. Granger back is not a hardship.”

The witch’s mother came forward giving him a hug, which caused him to stiffen, nearly pulling away from the woman before he thought better of it. Still not letting him go she said, “Thank you.”

He heard Lucius sniff, which was his way of covering up the laughter he had at his expense, prying himself out of the woman’s arms before answering, “It wasn’t only me who helped, my friend here Lucius also helped, “ Severus smirked at Lucius.

Mrs. Granger looked at Lucius before coming at him, hugging the blond before he could get away, “Thank you as well for everything you have done.” The woman stopped her hug then went to her daughter hugging her even tighter. “Now be good and do not cause any trouble…”

“Of course not mother…” Smirking at the ‘do not cause trouble remark’. If only the woman knew what her daughter was capable of she would have been grounded till she turned of age.

It wasn’t long after that the three of them left the Granger’s residence with a giggling Ms. Granger in tow. “What do you find so funny Ms. Granger?”

The witch stopped her giggles for a minute then went into a fit of laughter, taking several minutes to answer, “I should have warned you my mother was a hugger…”

Severus dropped his voice lower, trying to appear as menacing as possible, “Yes Ms. Granger you should have…And if I could give you detentions right now for that memory lapse, you would be scrubbing cauldrons till your NEWT year.”

It was Severus’s turn to laugh as the witch’s face fell at the thought of that particular punishment even Lucius joined in.
