Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
September 1st 1999
8:12pm
Minerva was beside herself as she wondered where the Head students had gotten to. All she knew was that the car was empty and there was no sign of apparition on the parts of Mr. Draco Malfoy or Miss Hermione Granger. It was a puzzle. Currently at the moment she was racking her brain to try and figure out what was going on. If it wasn't for the fact that the two students had a history of disliking each other to the point of harming each other with pranks, she would have been less worried.
The fact she had been told of just a moment before by Hagrid the Care of Magical creatures professor did not sit well with her rather. She looked at her desk where the two wands sat. Vinewood and Hawthorn. Each of course respectably belonging to Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy. Minerva was now pacing frantically
"Minerva, calm yourself! I am sure that they will turn up soon"
This voice was said in the familiar and comforting voice of the late and great Albus Dumbledore. His painting hung behind her desk and he watched her as she continued to pace and rung her hands nervously.
"Fine for you to say Albus! They are missing and without their wands! I am sure by now he has done something to her! I wouldn't put it past the Malfoy to do something like this! If only I could figure out how he did it!"
Albus for a moment frowned as he looked at her. True he was a simple painting and a shadow of the past great Headmaster, however part of his essence and magic had been placed in the painting. He for a moment smiled and his blue eyes twinkled.
"I happen to know exactly where they are and it was I who enchanted that said carriage in order for it to happen."
Minerva looked up at Albus sharply at this. "Explain Albus what do you mean you had something to do with this?!? I dare say then you need to bring them back immediately! "
Minerva was angry now as she looked at her old friend and mentor. She was exasperated and shook her head. To her amazement Albus chuckled a moment.
"Minerva calm down and have a cup of tea and I will explain my reasoning on the matter. It was arranged years ago. You see that particular carriage has an enchantment on it. It is designed to help the Head students get along with one another. In the past the enchantment has not triggered but due to the history of Mr. Malfoy and Miss Granger... it seems that the carriage has deemed them unable to cooperate fully. Alas though once what the trouble is, is resolved they will be returned and both have learned a lesson.”
Minerva frowned as she knew in her mind that Albus was now just a painting and she didn’t have time nor did she feel up to arguing with him.
All she knew was that two of her students were missing and those being the head students created a bit of a problem as well. She just sighed and shook her head at him.
“Then in your infinite wisdom Albus what would you have me do? The school needs Head students in their absence and I am not sure how to tell the parents or the students that Miss Granger and Mr. Malfoy are missing. As it is I do not want to lie to them Albus!”
As she said this she wondered just what to do. Her students were somewhere and she wondered if they would ever return.
True normally an assurance from Albus Dumbledore would suffice with her as he had proven in life that he was right even if it took a while to resolve a matter. She wondered now exactly why she had agreed with his input on choosing the current Head Boy and Head Girl.
“Minerva, relax it will work out. Who is the second highest of the students male and female? Also in light of this I have a solution. The Heads students are on a quest, involved in a project for the school. In a sense they are and it isn’t right out lying.
I know that soon they will return and you will see much improvement not just this year but for the rest of their lives for both Hermione and Draco.”
Minerva now knew for certain a migraine headache was coming on as she rubbed her temples a moment and removed her spectacles.
“Alright so I suppose if anyone questions it, they are on an assignment for the school. I am surprised that misters Potter and Weasley have not come asking where Miss Granger is. I would have expected them to by now Albus.”
As Minerva said this she cleaned her glasses and set them back on the end of her pointed little nose and regarded him with an inquisitive look. Albus glanced back and in the picture frame he just rubbed his chin whiskers a moment.
“Well Albus?”
She asked as she looked up at him now more interested in his thoughts on the subject.
“I have no idea Minerva. Perhaps they had a row of some sort or perhaps they did not realize Miss Granger was coming to the school? Perhaps it might be wise to ask them to come to the office. However I would hope you keep your discretion on the matter that Mister Malfoy and Miss Granger are alone on the,”
Here Albus stopped talking and Minerva for a moment felt more frustrated as she for a moment perhaps thought he would tell her where they were at.
“At the place they are now. Believe me I am not the secret keeper of this place and therefore though I know its location am not able to speak its name at this time. All in due course however Minerva. I am sure they will
return soon. “
Albus sounded very assured of the matter and Minerva decided to trust his wisdom. However the fact that he seemed a bit like a fool to not be able to disclose the location to her agitated her. However she knew that Albus would not intentionally send them into danger as she began to relax a moment.
Though she still worried about Hermione, she knew that whatever happened, Hermione had a good head on her shoulders and would not succumb to any of Draco Malfoy’s inappropriate actions. In fact she could picture them perhaps studying as it seemed Miss Granger’s trunk had gone with her.
Hermione was panting as she felt her orgasm building at a fevered pace. Draco looked at her in that moment as she cried out and he smiled to himself. How long had it been since they had been now stranded on the island? It seemed to him it was weeks now as they had moved into a comfortable routine with each other.
In the mornings they would please each other, he would go hunting fish or what Hermione called fishing with a sharpened spear. While he was doing so, Hermione would gather fruit from the garden and clean the house.
At about noon he would come home and bring the fish he caught and she would help him clean the fish and they would eat some of the fruit they had for lunch. After lunch they would both go for a swim in the ocean and return soaked but refreshed.
Then they would sit in the bath together and sometimes talk, other times wash each other and that was what they were doing now.
Draco just wrapped Hermione in his arms and held her. He just relaxed as they let the hot water surround them and relax them. It had been a few days since her confession and a part of him wanted to talk to her about it.
However for the moment he relaxed with her and wondered what this was. What he was feeling as he had no idea where these feelings were coming from. He knew he liked her and valued her company. He was grateful for her knowledge and impressed with it especially when he knew he alone could not have survived on the Island.
The water for a moment splashed over the rim of the tub as Shadow decided to jump up and in on them both. Hermione and Draco both for a moment chuckled then shadow decided to shake and both were splashed with wet dog
“Out Shadow, you will get your bath in a bit. Mummy will give you a treat if you are a good boy now go .”
As Hermione said this she stood up with her hands on her hips and pointed out of the room. The wolf cub looked at her and lowered his head as he went into the other room. Draco watched this a moment and he couldn’t help himself he admired the view.
“You know it’s a good thing he’s a dog or wolf because if he were our child and you stood there starkers’ it might be a bit…”
Draco’s words broke off as he paused at his own words a moment. A child, no he had said their child and for a moment Hermione just looked at him and said not a word. Draco swallowed a moment as the image of her with their children filled his mind again for an instant.
“Well your probably right as I would give them a fright seeing their Mum naked and.. Draco?”
As she spoke Draco had gotten out of the tub and grabbed a towel and for a moment just dried his hair off then he wrapped it around his waist. He placed a towel for her next to the tub and went into the bedroom. He was putting on his shorts and a t shirt as she came in with the towel wrapped around her.
“Hermione I think I will go and chop some more wood for the fire.We are running a bit low. “
He said this as he got up and he went to the doorway. A small kiss on her cheek she received as he for a moment stood and looked at her.
“If you wait a moment I will come help.”
Hermione said as she flung the towel down and went to dress. For a moment Draco stood watching her.He bit his lip and then replied in a voice laced with huskiness.
“No, you relax as we don’t need much and I am getting the hang of using the axe thing. I’ll be back shortly. Maybe we can go for a walk on the beach afterwards?”
As he asked this he knew he felt he needed to get away from her, but also wanted to stay and hold her, touch her and be close to her. He turned and walked out of the room and went outside. He let out a deep breath and went to go and cut down a tree. He knew that they had a lot of fire wood but he needed to do something.
The more he was around her, the more it confused him. He wondered what was happening as he broke a piece of drift wood and then another creating a pile of wood. He swung the axe and as the wood split he wondered what he was feeling.
He stopped for a moment and took the rolled up magazine from his pocket and fanned himself with it. As he did he looked at the cover and stopped a moment.
Am I in Love? How to Know if You're Really in Love
Draco opened the Cosmopolitan and he began to read as he did he took a moment to sit on a rock.
There is no easy way to find the truth behind your feelings or the feelings of another person but there are some tell-tale signs that love is blooming (or growing deeper). If you agree with 7 of the following 9 statements you are probably in love.
1.You know, because you have been told by your significant other, that your deep feelings are returned in kind.
For a moment Draco pondered this. Hermione had admitted it thought she had said she loved him when she thought he was asleep. He went to the next question and decided to mark this one as a yes.
2.The object of your affections makes you feel special and good about yourself.
Draco nodded as Hermione did make him feel good. Not just sexually but about himself as well. She accepted him even when he was down on himself and she was always trying to cheer him up by doing something silly. But when she smiled it made him feel something as if light filled him or that he found himself smiling for no reason.So again he mentally answered yes.
3.If/when you feel jealous it is always fleeting; you trust your partner not to betray you or hurt your relationship.
Draco knew that he had no reason to feel jealous of anyone and he could imagine if there was a time he would get angry but not stay mad at her. So again he thought that yes was the right answer.
4.Nothing makes you feel as serene as when you and your partner are together.
Draco nodded as it was true,he was calm and peaceful when he held her. When they even ate dinner together and weren’t even touching each other.
5.When you fight with your partner you usually make up within a few hours and you always agree that nothing is more important than you both being able to express your true feelings (even if they sometimes cause conflict).
Draco knew that so far they had gotten in one small fight since being together on the island and he remembered feeling like a jerk. True she had her period and he was whining because she didn’t want to have sex with him. He knew that it hadn’t taken long before he felt bad and apologized for it. He even had gone out and gotten her some pretty flowers and rubbed her back to help her with the pain she felt.
6.Your partner never asks you to choose between him/her and your loyalties to your family and friends - if you do choose him/her over them you always have a good reason and it is always YOUR decision, and your decision alone.
Draco nodded again. He would choose her over his family and he knew she would never ask him to. He knew he valued her more than anyone else he knew not just her brains, but her as a person.
7.Neither you or your partner feel the need to test the other's loyalties or feelings.
Draco knew he trusted her completely. He hadn’t at first but now he did. He trusted her and she trusted him back despite all the years he tormented her. Another yes and for a moment he just sat motionless. He decided to go to the next question.
8.You are more yourself when with your partner than you are with anybody else.
That was a diffident yes as he was himself and didn’t have to pretend. He showed her freely his emotions and left himself vulnerable. He had never told anyone else about his two sexual encounters nor who or what they were. She had accepted he had been with women and didn’t need to pry and ask about them. Also he felt alive and easy around her and they talked about each other’s goals and dreams.
9.If sex is part of your relationship it is by mutual desire and agreement without the slightest hint of commitment testing or persuasion.
Yes, for the most part except that one time. She was always as eager as he was and he loved that about her. He loved that she was happy and loved that she seemed to always know what he wanted. He loved.. For a moment Draco tallied up the score and was surprised he got each one answered with a yes. He loved her..
He was in love with Hermione Granger.
He Draco Malfoy was in love. For a moment he wanted to shout it out but then fear stabbed at him. What if they were rescued and it wasn’t love? What if he only thought he loved her until there were other women?
What if she did think she loved him but once she was free to go, she would find another man?. Would she do that to him? Could he risk her rejection? Could he take the chance of getting his heart broken by this woman who he knew now for sure he was in love with?
How would she react? Would she be all clingy after he said it?
He looked back at the magazine and he placed it in his pocket and gathered up the wood. He walked back to the house and stacked it neatly. He then stopped a moment to watch her as she was folding clothes. He just watched as she looked up at him and smiled. In that moment he felt his heart beat fast. Felt wonderful and he smiled back quietly.
“Need any help with that Hermione?”
He asked as he walked over to her and she shook her head. She had straightened up now having put the last of his clothes in a pile neatly on a shelf and he kissed her forehead gently. Hermione closed her eyes as she inhaled his scent. It was him, naturally but also the soap they both used and mixed with sweat and yet it was her amortentia. This was her love and as she looked up at him, she for a moment smiled and kissed his lips gently.
“Let’s go for a walk and watch the sunset?”
He asked as she nodded and he took her hand in his and opened the doorway for her.
. Oh, and I had to smile about Minevra's idea of Head student's activities. 
. On the other hand, she would be happy cause Hermione is really a great student and learns fast.
