Hermione was so glad that her life was falling back into place. Her two best mates were back from auror training, and she was ready to finally pursue a certain someone. In a strange turn of events, however, Hermione begins to question where her interests and loyalties truly lie. She was told that she would end up with a lover and a friend... but who would she try to kill?

Wiping her tears from her face, she noticed that Harry was still intently watching her. Looking as if he was about to say something, Hermione sat up and leaned forward to place a kiss on his cheek. Before reaching her destination, however, she felt lips crashing into hers.

Ginny backed away quickly from his grasp. Seething, her words were forced from her lips. “To feed me more lies Harry Potter? We are done. Maybe Ron will be a little more forgiving, that’s if he survives of course, SINCE HE HAS BEEN KIDNAPPED.”

 

“Hermione?”

She watched Ron crawl around on the floor. She could not believe her own eyes. Hermione remained quiet until the Death Eater made his way through the door below.

“Hermione?!” Ron spoke again, more frantically.

“RON!”

“So why are you telling me all this Draco? Most importantly, why are you here now?” Hermione heard herself say. She was impressed for her own continuing audacity.

“I guess I might as well tell you, but it might be easier to show you.  First, have you heard of ‘Temple of the Eye’?”
