Chapter Text
Hermione told Eve to arranged with the resistance that she wants to see Harry at the market near Diagon Alley. She walks down the stairs with excitement; she is going to see the world after years in prison, and more importantly, she is going to see Harry. As she walks down the stairs through the corridors, she sees ten soldiers waiting for her in the end of the room. In the middle of them, there is a portkey. Ten soldiers felt like too much for going to the market, and she sighed.
"My Lady"
They chanted together and bow their head when they saw her. She nodded. She saw the portkey with Eve behind her. "Ready?" she asked them all with excitement, but someone clearing his throat.
"Just so you know, if you try to run away, I will know."
Hermione turned around and saw Draco leaning on the wall; beside him, there was a soldier in an at-ease position with a gold brooch on his coat, differentiating him from the others. Draco is looking at her intently.
I will never run away, at least not for now; I need this position.
"The potion that mixed with our blood that we drank at the wedding ceremony will alert me," he informed her.
After hearing what he said, Hermione's suspicion was confirmed: there was something in the potion that bound them together instead of the rings. She turned to the portkey and grab it.
The market was filled with people just as she expected, but they did not recognize her. She wore a black coat over her head, hiding her face; the soldiers were also incognito but following her. She's gazing at Eve, signaling her to show the way, so she grabs Eve's elbow and walk side by side. After the Malfoy ruling, all people wearing black coats like its mandatory. She feels like she is somewhere new, not in the old magical world she was in before. The Malfoy crest is everywhere she looked: inside the shops, outside the shops. As she walks, some of the people even had a Malfoy family Crest brooch on their black coats.
She keeps walking, and Eve turned at the corner; there was a tiny shop filled with teas there are four employees.
"I'll go to that shop," she said, pointing to the tea shop, and the people following her behind nodded. Some of them spread around; three of them stood in front of the corners, looking around. She goes inside and look around the shop; it was an ordinary tea shop. She watched the soldiers outside; they are checking on her, so she pretend to smell the tea leaves. When they looked elsewhere, one of the employees, standing beside her, he was wearing a coat that hid his face and his acting like he was arranging things.
"Hermione"
"Harry?" they both whispered.
He grabs one of the buckets for her tea, and she put it inside. "Thanks," she said, checking the guards outside, they gazing at her, but they seems not recognize Harry. She looked at his face, but its not Harry's; only his voice is Harry’s—Polyjuice. Her eyes are glossy; she miss him so much that she wanted to hug him, but she couldn't. She took a deep breath and gazing for a short time into his eyes; they are green. She pretend to pick other tea leaves again slowly. Harry moves to the other side, and Eve stood in front of Hermione covering her.
"How are you?"
"I'm fine thanks to you" he said she can sense he's smiling.
She smiles holding her tears.
"Did He..hurt you?" She's shaking her head.
"How's the resistance?"
"We're planning, but we need numbers we're still recruting"
"Good" She's relieved.
"Do you heard any news about Ginny or Ron?
"No"
"Ginny...i don't think i can breath and live knowing She's in prison " he told her
She can hear his desperate sounds, as she smell the leaves She's picking.
"How did you get me out?"
"I..i can't tell you i'm sorry it's better this way."
"Do you think we can win this Harry?" She needs this answer to go on
"We are planning to spread the news about the dark things they did. We are trying to ruin the royal family's name slowly. Maybe we can build more rebellions, and soon we will have the numbers.
He added "of course it will be more stronger of we can get the order of Phoenix out of the prison, we can work together joining with the resistance."
"I..I'll do my best Harry"
"Take care"
"I'll see you soon again" She said as She's going to the cashier Harry took her bucket filled with tea leaves that She chose, She's looking at his face, He looks awful, She then gazing away somewhere else.
"Thankyou for shopping" He said.
She nods looking at his eyes before she walks away.
Eve taking her teas to hold it and looking around, as Hermione walking slowly one of the guard walking near her , "let's go back my lady"
"Not yet i want to see Diagon Alley It's just right at that turn" She's pointing
In front of all the shops and buildings in Diagon Alley also have Malfoy Family Crest, Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions, Flourish and Botts, Ollivanders, Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, Eeylops Owl Emporium, Quality Quidditch Supplies, and Wiseacre's Wizarding Equipment, Gringotts Bank.
It seems like she was just here yesterday buying all the stuff. Now it's all the same, but yet different. There's a group with the Malfoy Family Crest on their coats that is singing as they walk around the street. She's standing still as they walk past her, hearing what they say.
Only in Darkness there is the light...
We hope we wish with Jade Rose, our Prince save us all ...
