Just Your Average Death Eater

Chapter 3

She didn't conceive, did she? Hermione was going into panic mode.

"Exactly how long will it take to know for sure?" she asked after being quiet for some time.

"In exactly two weeks," replied Wormtail.

With that, Draco decided it was time to go. They said their farewells and used the chimney and Floo powder to go back. (being too tired from the night before ;-) When they arrived Hermione brushed herself off, and headed towards her room.

She didn't feel like talking to anyone. At the moment she was ashamed of what she had did, and for actually enjoying it. With the thought of that, she started to cry. Then she heard a light tap on the door, and Draco entered.

"Dumbledore left a message," he said "The Dark lord is supposed to be planning a massive killing. The ministry says that once we find out when and where this is supposed to occur, we have fulfilled the purpose of you coming."

Hermione gave a small nod, and said nothing else. Sensing that she didn't feel like talking much, Draco got up to leave, but as he did so, a gust of wind came through the open window and lifted up the sleeve of his loose shirt enough that Hermione could see his arm underneath. At that moment she remembered what she had seen the night before.

"Draco! You're a Death Eater!" she said as she pulled him back into the room and examined the dark mark on his upper arm. "I can't believe I trusted you! You're one of them!" she kept screaming.

"Settle down," he said trying to get her to calm down by holding her. "I had to, sort of a father, son bonding type thing. It's not that I wanted to but it was that, or die, what would you have picked?"

Hermione didn't care what he said. She had, had enough! she was leaving, she was through with all of it. She broke free of his grasp, and ran out the door, grabbing Crookshanks on her way. Before he could run after her, she had Apparated to Diagon Alley.

Draco couldn't believe how many things had gone wrong so far. First with getting stuck with Granger as his partner and then the night before, not that that was too bad, it wasn't like she was the first, with Pansy, Blaise, and an infinite number before her, but now she was gone again, and he had to cover up for his dark mark. If only she knew half the story. Having to become a Death Eater was horrible enough, but deciding to go against his father and work for the ministry as sort of a double agent, was pushing the limits.

"I have to go find her," he said to himself "this is not going to be an easy job," He grabbed his cloak and Apparated to the most sensible place to look first, Potter and Weasley's apartment.

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

Hermione appeared in the leaky cauldron and before deciding to head over to the Weasley's shop, she got a butterbeer, and just relaxed. After her butterbeer she walked over to Fred and George's shop, with Crookshanks still in her hands.

As she reached their shop she knocked lightly, and a familiar face soon opened the door.

"Hermione! how are you? come in! why do you have Crookshanks? come in, come in!" good ol' Fred welcomed her in like a sister.

"Thank you Fred, how are you? I was wondering if you don't mind if I could stay with you and George for a while. You see, the whole ministry thing, well, it's not going to work, I don't really want to explain right now, if that's ok," said Hermione as she walking into the shop, following Fred to the back room.

"Of course you can stay Hermione, you're like a sister to us! Draco didn't hurt you did he? that bastard," replied Fred with a groan as he mentioned Draco.

"It's really not important, I just can't stay with him, I can't bare to look at the ferret, but thank you so much for allowing me to stay," said Hermione, remembering the night before.

"it's our pleasure, come on, I'll show you to the extra room upstairs. George should be back soon, and I'll explain the situation to him," Fred said, as he and Hermione walked upstairs hand and hand.

The room was small but cozy. There was a small fireplace on one wall, which was across from the bed and a window across from the door. The carpet was beige with specks of gold in it, and was a soft plush material. there wasn't much furniture, other than the bed and a small chest of drawers. However, Hermione liked the room greatly, and kept thanking Fred over and over again.

"Thank you so much Fred, I love the room so much!" she said

"Really, it's our pleasure. Oh, I think I hear George, I'll let you settle in, would you like to go to dinner with George and myself this evening?" He asked

Yes, I'd love that," she replied.

"All right, well, I'll let you settle in, see you later," he said as he quietly shut the door.

Hermione couldn't believe her fortune, she was away from Draco, she was living with her best friends, and she was finally free from the Dark lord's power for the moment. Only one thing bothered her, she still didn't know if she conceived, what if she had, what if she had the child in the prophecy, and she really didn't know what to do.

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

Draco, ended up in front of the apartment complex across from the Auror camp. He walked in and got Potter and Weasley's room number. He walked the flight and stairs and knocked on the door, hard.

"Bugger, hold on! I'll be there in a sec," came Potter's voice.

A few moments later the door opened and Draco shoved the door the rest of the way open, and walked in.

"Where is she? She just can't leave, where the bloody hell is she?" he asked as his temper grew.

"Who the hell are you talking about?" asked Harry getting ready to grab his wand and hex Malfoy into next week.

"Hermione, I know she's here, now where is she?" said Draco in a voice the whole complex probably heard.

"Hermione? I haven't seen her since graduation. What do you want with her? you stay away from her if you know what's good for you Malfoy!" replied Harry in the same tone of voice.

"Tisk tisk, potter. Don't worry about your girlfriend, she's in good hands, at least she was last night," said Draco with his trademark smirk.

"I don't know what your talking about Malfoy, now get out, and leave Hermione alone, I haven't seen her but if I hear you've hurt her in any way, I'll kill you!" Said Harry, and with that he shoved Draco out into the hall and slammed the door shut.

"So if she's not at Potter and the Weasel's place, where can she be?" Draco asked himself.

On the other side of the door, Harry was wondering the same thing. Something was obviously wrong, and he had no clue what it was. Hermione with Draco? His enemy? It just didn't sound like her. he had to find out what was going on, for Hermione's sake. He didn't want her to get mixed up in something that he couldn't protect her from. After all, they did split up so that she would be safe from the Dark Lord. (A/N I wonder how he would react if he knew that she was working as an undercover Death Eater. hmmmm)

Draco Apparated to Malfoy manor again. He had to find Hermione, he didn't really know why. Perhaps because he would actually miss having her around, or perhaps he felt connected to her some how. He really didn't know why, but it unnerved him. Never the less, he pulled out his father's old tracking orb and started to look for Hermione.

Coming back from dinner, Hermione was laughing at one of George and Fred's jokes.

"Thanks for such a great time tonight guys," said Hermione

"It was our pleasure, we had fun tonight! We'll have to do it again tomorrow," said George.

"Sounds good, well, I'm bushed, see you guys tomorrow," she said as she gave both of them a quick kiss on the cheek and headed to her room.

Hermione headed to her room. She searched for the light switch clumsily, trying not to trip on her clothes that she retrieved from Malfoy Manor before she had gone to dinner with the twins. As she switched it on, she dropped her purse in shock and fear.

"I see you weren't expecting me," said a satisfied Draco.

"How.....I.....how did you find me?" asked a startled Hermione.

"I've come to collect you,"he said with a smirk "your job isn't finished yet, besides, I've missed you,"

"Like you could miss anyone, I don't think you even have feelings. I've not going with you, so just leave me in peace," she replied.

"Well, I've said it before, and I'll say it again. You can either come with me, or I'll have to make you," he said, now getting irritated.

"Never," she said, beginning to back away.

With that he started to come towards her. She turned and began for the door, but he was too quick, and slammed her against the closed door. She tried to get away but every time she struggled, he pushed her harder against the door, and soon it felt like his body was grinding against her body. At that moment, he kissed her. She tried to tell herself not too, but before she could listen, she was lightly opening her mouth letting his tongue slide in and explore her mouth.

She couldn't let him do this to her. She hated him, he was Draco Malfoy, but she was falling under his spell. She was falling in love with Draco Malfoy!!!!!!
