He was restless. He was called for a case requiring his immediate attention but madam Pomfrey reports there is no such case and she didn't send any owls to him that day. Strange. He decided to go home.

When he entered his home though, he was sweetly surprised. Delicious smells from the kitchen caught his attention. When he went, Hermione was not there. "Woo..all looks and smells yummy Hermione!" He shouted. His home was redecorated, the walls had some different classic paintings, the rooms were very cozy with warm lighting and lovely flowers. May be Hermione was upto something, he was very intrigued to find out. May be time for them to share a bit more intimacy? He smiled But she was nowhere to found.

He apparated to Harry and Ginny's place. "What a surprise Malfoy! Finally found our home." Ginny was quick to point out.

"Not funny. Is Hermione here?"

"No..she was waiting for you in your home..what happened?"

Of course. His suspicions were right. "Hermione is not in my place. I just got called on a false case. Something is going on. We have to find her"

"Malfoy, you are shaking. We can get her. Go to your place, have a sip of water and look for clues. We will be there in a few minutes"

There they were, Arthur, Molly along with their children, Harry, Ginny, Luna, Teddy and Emma playing by the corner. After searching he found a note.

We have her. No use in searching. Say a mental good bye.

At the end of the letter contained a sort of logo with a sparrow and a pond.

No. It couldn't be. He just had her and now he lost her. His Hermione. The girl who trusted him, gave him a second chance. He went away from them, careful not to let his tears spill

"Draco, it's ok to cry. Your wife is missing" Luna said quietly beside him.

"Luna..ye..Yess i am ok."

"I think it's on your side someone did this."

"Why is that?"

"Because everyone on her side knows she is not the one to mess with" Ginny said, coming towards them.

"It's my fault, really. I never should have brought her here to stay with me. I got a chance with her and I blew it. Emma..what will I tell Emma?"

"Shut up Draco. Hermione doesn't need this. She needs you to step up and hunt down whoever did this. Do you think she agreed to live with you just because you asked her to? She felt something towards you, you idiot." Ginny admonished

"I think it's time to bring your old anger back, Draco. No time for regrets" Luna said with a smile.

"You really are an idiot dude" Ron said.

Luna was right. Hermione needs the old Draco now. "Luna, call Pansy. She might help. Harry and Arthur, please organize a search leave no ends unturned. Molly, please take care of Emma. Time for the culprits to pay for what they did"

"Woohoo! a man in action,people." Luna raised an eyebrow.

"Oh yeah? Time for the people on my side to know I am not the one to mess with, either."
