Black Ice-Skates: A Dramione Tale
Black Ice-Skates: A Dramione Tale
Prologue:
It was Hermione's turn on the ice. The smell of the ice soothes her as she sways gracefully towards the center of the rink. She poses the pose she had practiced many times before; the music starts; Hermione circles the rink twice to gain speed and leaps into a double axel. When she lands she goes into a camel spin, then when that move is finished, gracefully goes into an eagle's wing, and circles the rink once more to gain speed and does a triple axel landing PERFECTLY! This is one of the hardest moves for her age group; and frankly; even the levels afterward find this to be a VERY advanced move. When her song is about to end she does another camel spin, then goes into an arabesque while spinning (sorry forgot the moves actual name DX), and gracefully skates back to middle of the rink and poses just in time for the song to end. Clapping, cheers, hoot howls, flying roses on the rink, and many other things expressing that she had done well immediately follow her performance.
When her scores are shown they are straight 10.0's. She is going to the semi-finals! This competition (The semis) will determine whether or not Hermione is going to the Olympics! She, her trainer Mrs. Klavotka, and her mother are ecstatic. All of the sudden a CRASH is heard on the other side of the building then screams. Hermione, and Mrs. Klavotka know EXACTLY what is happening, a Death-Eater attack.
Hermione immediately grabs for her wand, and so does her trainer. They point them at the criminals; when they realize something. They're in a stadium FILLED with muggles; this would not be a good time to go into termination mode with their wands; they could accidentally hit an innocent muggle! They put them away and grab Mrs. Granger by the arms pushing her scared, no, petrified body outside to the parking lot where it is supposedly safer.
Turns out, that wasn't the case. More death-eaters were there.
"Crap! What do we do?! We can't fight back, muggles a running and screaming all over!" yells Hermione.
"Vo you know vow to vuse ze vagnetism charm?" asks Mrs. Klavotka, setting Mrs. Granger safely in a car.
"No, but I have been training to." Is Hermione's answer.
"Vood enough. Vow I vant you to vuse zilent magic, ve don't vant Death-Eaters ruining vis, but vuse ze charm on vone death eater I'll vuse it on another and it vould knock them out vong enough to vind vem. If vit vorks ve vill continue zis, and if you can, vind vem as vey're coming so vit goes vaster." says Mrs. Klavotka
"Ok" says an unconfident Hermione.
The plan works on many of them with few strugglers. Though, this changes as Hermione and her trainer get weaker. More and more escape the charm, or as they are being bound, somehow, escape. Soon Hermione and Mrs. Klavotka are too weak to do anymore charms. Hermione passes out… Soon afterwards (3 days later), Hermione wakes up in Saint Mungo's, this being all she can remember.
What she and her trainer did was praised by the ministry, and she was rewarded for it. Though, she was informed that three of her friends had died, Jennifer McKullers, Mary Ruth McGuire, and Geared Souter…
Hermione wakes up with a jolt and screams. Her brother, Matthew, comes running into the room and says
"What happened?! Anybody hurt?!"
"No Matt, bad dream is all…" says Hermione.
"Oh, Skating dream again?" asks Matt, walking into the room and sitting at the foot of her bed.
"Yeah, I don't understand! Why does it keep coming back?! I've tried everything!!" says an exasperated Hermione.
"Could be the ice-cream you eat at night…" jokes Matt.
"Hey! It's the ice-creams fault, what, with it being so deliciously tasty!!" says Hermione defensively.
"Uh-huh. Keep telling that to your self maybe it'll be true one day…" jokes Matt. All the sudden there is a tapping on the window. It's an owl with a letter attached to its right leg.
"What's an owl doing here so late…" says Hermione…
