Chapter 11

Draco stepped off the Knight Bus and stared up at the castle before him. He took a deep breath, and began walking toward the Royal castle. A few moments later he stood at the massive wooden double doors. He raised the heavy knockers, and knocked.

“Can I’s helps you?” Rose asked as she answered the door.

“I need to speak with the Queen immediately. It’s important. Her and Severus’s lives are in danger.” Draco answered.

Rose stepped aside and let the young man enter. She told him to wait there while she disappeared with a ‘POP’.

“Ha! Ha! Ha! That’s…ohhhh…not fair!” Hermione laughed as Severus pinned her to the bed.

“I’m a Slytherin remember? I don’t play fair.” He chuckled.

The couple had just redressed and were trying to head back down to the study. Their lips met in a gentle kiss. Before it could escalate, Rose popped in.

“Excuse me Mistress, but there’s a youngs man who says You’s and Master’s lives are in dangers.” Rose said.

“Did he say his name?” Severus asked.

“No.” Rose answered.

“We will be down in a moment Rose. Thank you.” Hermione replied.

Severus pulled her off the bed and the pair exited the bedroom.

************************************************************************

Downstairs, Draco had begun pacing. He was nervous. He hated how he had been forced to treat Hermione and her friends, with the exception of Ron,. He only hoped that she would hear him out before passing judgment on him. He looked up and saw his godfather and the Queen coming down the stairs.

“What are you doing here?" Hermione demanded.

“Your Majesty. Please, hear me out. You and Severus are in danger.” Draco answered as he dropped to his knees before her.

“Let’s hear what he has to say.” Severus said.

“All right. Follow us Draco.” Hermione replied.

Hermione led them into living room. Once seated, she sends for some tea. After Ivy brought some tea and biscuits, Draco faced Hermione for the first time since arriving in the castle.

“Okay Draco. What is this all about?” Hermione asked.

Draco quickly told her everything he had heard at his home. Severus let out a silent curse as Hermione jumped to her feet and walked to the windows. She then spun and faced Severus.

“You knew about Ron didn't you?” She asked.

“I didn’t know for sure. Mr. Potter had his suspicions, but no full proof. We didn’t want to tell you until we knew for sure.” Severus sighed.

“How do I know you’re telling me the truth?” Hermione asked as she faced Draco.

“I can show you my memories if you have a pensive. Your Majesty, I never hated you or Harry. I acted the way I did because of my father. If I made friends with people he felt were the wrong people, I don’t even want to think about what he would have done to me.” Draco answered.

Hermione nodded. She walked over to a cabinet in the corner. She removed a pensive and carried it over to Draco. He quickly began removing all the memories he had of his parents and Ron meeting and discussing Death Eater business. Once done, he handed the pensive to Hermione and Severus.

Hermione and Severus entered the memories while Draco sat and waited on the sofa. A few moments later they couple exited the memories. Hermione’s legs gave out beneath her. Draco and Severus rushed to her side and helped her onto the couch.

“Are you all right Your Majesty?” Draco asked worriedly.

“I don’t know honestly.” She answered shakily.

“I’m sorry Hermione.” Severus said gently.

“What can I do Severus?” Draco asked.

“Um, you can tell me why you came here?” Hermione replied.

“I had to warn you. Even though we never got along, I never wanted anything to happen to you. Or to Harry. I understand if you don’t believe me, but now you know their plot.” Draco explained.

“Where will you stay?” Severus asked.

“I’ll find someplace.” Draco answered as he got to his feet.

“No you won’t. Lily!” Hermione called out.

“Yes Mistress?” The elf said as she appeared.

“I want you to personally take charge of the guest room in the south corridor. This is Draco and he will be your charge.” Hermione instructed.

“Oh! Yes Mistress! Is takes your things Master Draco.” Lily said happily.

Draco removed his things, enlarged them and sat them before the elf. Lily levitated them and she and the luggage disappeared. Draco then faced Hermione and Severus.

“Thank you your Majesty. I can never repay you for this.” Draco said.

“Draco, stop calling me Your Majesty, Hermione will do. You don’t need to thank me. You’re Severus’s godson, and that makes you family to me. Tomorrow, I will bring the Weasley’s and Harry here and show them your pensive. Hopefully, Harry will listen to you and not pass judgment to early.” Hermione replied with a smile.

“You truly are an amazing Queen Hermione.” Draco said.

Hermione smiled brightly.

“Come on, I’ll take you into the kitchen for some food. Hermione, after I help Draco get settled, I will join you in the study.” Severus said.

Hermione nodded. She smiled as she watched the two men exit the room. With a heavy sigh she turned and headed for the study. Tomorrow would be a sad day for the Weasley’s. As well as for her and Harry. Tomorrow, she and Harry would say good-bye to their six year friendship with Ronald Weasley.
