PLEASE DON"T MAKE THIS NICE LITTLE STORY INTO A LEGAL HASTLE. Thanx a
bunch!!! (o and if Draco goes up for grabs let me know) (
Hermione was delighted. She was on her way back to Hogwarts to start her 7th and last year. She had gotten a notice in the mail from Professor Dumbldore telling her that she was going to be Head-Girl of Gryfindor. The only downfall was that she was going to have to share a common room with Draco Malfoy, as well as the head-boy from Hufflepuff and the head-girl from Ravenclaw, who were both pleasant, studious people. Draco on the other hand had been giving her strange looks from the moment she saw him only minutes ago. They were not menacing looks, which was unusual. She really couldn't figure out what they meant.
Hermione stood and said, " I'm gonna go find the trolley. I'm starved." " Oh, can you get me some chocolate frogs?" asked Ron. Hermione nodded and slipped out the door. She walked slowly down the hall. It was well lit with sunshine streaming through the windows "It's a beautiful day," thought Hermione. With all the rushing to get on the train this morning she hadn't really noticed. Carefully keeping her balance she continued to walk down the hall. She was about to teeter out onto the back platform and switch to the next car when she was pulled by her waist into an empty dark compartment. The hand that covered her mouth was large and felt very clammy. Hermione could almost feel it shake slightly.
Herms mind raced, who could this be, and what were they going to do to her? Before she had a chance to struggle, another set of hands gagged her and tied her wrists. She had to stop herself from shrieking when she felt her wand pulled out of her pocket. She was defenseless, stranded with at least two people who were not very considerate or they wanted to protect themselves. It was a widely known fact that she was skilled with her wand.
She was gruffly released from the arms of her captor. She slammed into a wall that was in front of her and then spun around to face. Lucius and Draco Malfoy. She should have known. Herm's eyes grew wide when Lucius pulled out his wand. She closed her eyes and prepared for the worst. "Your unworthy to walk on the same ground as my son and you don't deserve to go to this school or be alive for that matter, so I'm not just going to kill you quick. I 'm going to make you suffer." Lucus spat.
"How am I supposed to get out of this one?" Herm thought. "Maybe Harry and Ron will come looking for me. No, that's not likely. I wonder if they'll really kill me or if it's just threats? And will Draco help him? I honestly thought, that kid might have some good in him; over the summer he neglected to send me howlers and insulting little messages. And he didn't come over to Harry, Ron and me to annoy us this year. Gosh, how wrong can I be?"
Draco's POV
* You have to stop him. He can't kill someone. Draco quickly forgot that his father had been responsible for countless mudblood and muggle deaths. She can't be killed! She has never done anything to him or me. She's actually quite pretty. NO NO NO, he'll kill me too if I try to stop him. I guess the least I could do is try and get him to kill her quick. But I can't watch the life get painfully sucked out of a person so sweet. * "Dad I think the train is starting to slow down maybe we should just do it quick and get you out of here so you don't get caught."
Neutral
Lucius pondered this for a moment and then nodded his head as he raised his wand.
Draco's POV
* How is he going to do it? I don't think I could watch her suffer or worse CRY! What if she's in pain and she cries? I wouldn't be able to stand it. "Why not you idiot she's just a mudblood?" said the little voice in his head. Looking at her right now with her pale face and her hair perfect even after a struggle I just don't think I could watch. I can't believe that in just moment, seconds, she won't be breathing. All the life will leave this. should I say it. beautiful person. *
Neutral
Lucius raised his wand slowly to the eye level of Hermione. She didn't flinch or make any noise. "If I'm going to die I'm going to die with at least a small shard of dignity." She though firmly.
Lucious quietly muttered a long string of inaudible words. "He's being quiet so I won't know how I'm going to die." Hermione thought. A string of black sparks shot out of his wand and herm cringed and waited for the pain. Ten seconds later she heard someone groan and it was not she. Herm opened her eyes to find Draco writhing on the floor moaning and no Lucious in sight.
Draco's POV
He was muttering words with his eyes closed; I knew I had to do something. Herm was suddenly the most important person in the world. What was coming over me? She had to be saved and I was the only person who could do it. The room was slowly filling up with black smoke and I readied myself. I knew what I had to do. I had to block the stream of black sparks, which I knew would come out of the wand. The end of my fathers wand began to grow darker almost black and shake slightly. He could not see me because his eyes were closed when I stepped in front of the tip of his wand. When the stream of sparks came out it would hit me instead of her.
There was a loud bang and I felt heat rise from my toes to my head. It was a pleasant sensation for about two seconds and then the heat began to get hotter and hotter. I rolled on the floor trying to stop it. I might have even screamed. The pain and the burn was excruciating. And then, nothing. I went black and that was the end.
Herms POV
He screamed one horrible yell and then stopped. He was still and unmoving. Was he dead? " NO, he can't be dead he just saved my life. He CAN NOT be dead." I thought forcefully to myself. I was in a daze as I walked over to him and knelt down. Just then the train came to a stop and there was a great commotion in the hall as everyone tried to get out. I stood knowing that I couldn't help him without the use of my hands and without my wand. When I got to the door I turned my back to it so my hands could reach it and opened it. The train had not been deserted yet and the conductor was chatting with Hagrid. I walked into the hall and caught Hagrid's eye immediately. He came pounding down the hall with his head bent so as not to hit it. Without a word he unknotted my gag and the rope around my wrists. I led him into the compartment where Draco laid spralled on the floor. Hagrid gasped and then pulled out his wand. He muttered some words and Draco lifted off the ground and onto an invisible stretcher. At that point I knew Draco was safe and I realized what had just occurred. I had almost been dead and instead that brave young man had saved my life. I was completely shaken up and without a thought I sat down on the floor and began to cry hard, really hard. By then Prof. Migonigal was there and she put her arm around me and helped me to my feet. A boat was brought for me to ride in with Hagrid, Draco and the Professor.
