Chapter 1: A new suitor

The story I'm about to tell you is the story full of blood, hate, but also full of love. Love is such a mysterious thing. Some people say that it makes you blind, others think that on the contrary, it makes you discover a whole new world. Whatever it might be, here's a story about a love so strong and powerful that it changed the world of wizardry. I'm of course talking about the story of Draco & Hermione.

This story takes place during the Dark Times, when Voldemort was at his most powerful and terrifying state. The number of the Death Eaters, his loyal followers, was increasing enormously. Terror reigned everywhere… With Dumbledore dead, almost all hope was lost…

In a small sinister town in which once lived harmony and peace, was now full of hatred. It was ruled by a Prince called Eric who was well respected by the two noble families (the Grangers and the Malfoys) who lived there.

Members of the Granger family were sophisticated, distinguished, and proud. The duke, Arthur Granger, a pure-blood wizard, was very bright and talented. The duchess, Lillian Granger, a muggle-born witch, was known for her beauty and her generosity. They both loved their daughter Hermione very dearly. Sixteen of age, she had inherited her mother's beauty and her father's smartness. Her honey-colored hair and her brown hazel eyes attracted many suitors. But none of them were good enough for her. She wanted real love, the kind of love that she read in those wonderful books.
She was also very bossy and maniac about things, but she had a great heart. Her best friends, Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley (who was secretly in love with Hermione) were always there no matter what happened. Ginny Weasley, Ron's sister, was very close to her. Hermione really enjoyed gossiping and shopping with her: she couldn't do that with the boys.

The Malfoys were a pure-blood family. Lucius Malfoy, duke, was arrogant, proud and vain. He, or any of the Malfoys, didn't tolerate muggle-born wizards or muggles. He thought that they were inferior to him. Narcissa Malfoy, duchess, was beautiful and proud of it. She spent most of her time brushing her hair, making-up her face, make herself look good. She was a narcissistic person. Their son, Draco Malfoy, who was about the same age as Hermione, was the portrait of his father: he was as arrogant, proud and vain as him. His looks were well appreciated by the girls: he had a handsome face, with deep dark blue eyes, bright blond shiny hair and a strong body. People who followed him the most were Crabbe and Goyle, but his best friend was Blaise Zabini.

The two families hated each other: the Malfoys hated the Grangers because they were muggle-born wizards, and the Grangers hated the Malfoys for their lack of respect towards them. The city was separated in two. People who tolerated Muggles lived on the East side with the Granger family, and people who didn't lived on the West side with the Malfoy family.

Meanwhile, Voldemort destroyed almost everything. He had not yet reached the town where the Grangers and the Malfoys lived, but he was soon going to be there…

But in the Grangers' manor, people didn't have him on their minds. Everybody was very agitated: the servants were busy cleaning the lounges, the maids were gossiping while making the beds… Hermione was reading peacefully lying on her stomach on her bed, when Ginny opened the door suddenly. Hermione jumped.

- Hey Ginny, next time, be more silent or discreet, she said.

- I'm sorry Hermy, but did you see who our guest is?

- Who?

- Viktor Krum!

- So?

- Do you have any sensibility? Are you blind? He's like… the hottest guy in the whole country!

- You can have him if you want. Anyway, why is he here?

- Hm… I don't know… And I don't care…

Actually, Viktor Krum was here for a very precise purpose…

- Thank you for receiving me in such short notice, my lord, he said.

- You're welcomed! said Arthur cheerfully.

- Actually, I'm here to ask you something that is very close to my heart.

- Go on… After helping me for this business, you can ask me anything.

- I…I'd like to ask you daughter's hand.

The smile on Arthur's lips suddenly disappeared. He loved his daughter more than anything and didn't really want to let her go. He studied Viktor. He was tall, handsome, had a bright smile, thick brown hair, blue eyes and a well-built body (probably because of Quidditch). He looked about twenty-five years old.

- I was born in a rich family, he continued, once I am married, I can pay your debts, and I will make miss Granger happy as she never has been…

- She has to like you first, interrupted Arthur.

- Of course, I understand, Viktor replied.

- You two will meet at the Masquerade Ball tomorrow night, if you wish.

- Thank you. I will be there.

Viktor bowed, and left the room…

Ginny stormed in the Hermione's room again.

- Gin, it's the second time today! said Hermione quite angrily.

- I'm so sorry, but this is your lucky day!

- Why?

- Because… because Viktor Krum wants to marry you!

- Hahaha, very funny Gin…

- I'm NOT joking. One of the maids heard your dad talking to him, and she told the other maids about it! You know how we learn very interesting things from them…

- But that's ridiculous! exclaimed Hermione who was now standing up. I've never even talked to him! And he's like what… 9 years older than me! I can't marry him.

- Well, you will meet him. Tomorrow night, your parents organized you a Masquerade Ball!

-Oh! How fun! said Hermione sarcastically.

- It will be!

- Well, it might have been fun if he wasn't going to be there…

- Come on! Look on the bright side… We're going to be disguised and everything!

Meanwhile, somewhere in the huge garden of the other manor of this town, the Malfoys'manor…

- Hey guys! called Blaise. Guess what?

- What? asked Draco.

- The Grangers are having a p-a-r-t-y, a partey tomorrow night!

- Why are you saying that? Are you invited or something? I'd be VERY surprised if we were.

- No, of course not. But we could invite ourselves, said Blaise with a malicious smile.

- Uh, hello? Are you out of your mind? They would recognize us!

- That's where you're wrong… They're having a Masquerade Ball!

- I don't want to look for trouble…

- Oh, come on! Nobody will recognize us! We'll have some fun!

- Ya, come on! said Crabbe and Goyle.

- Well, I guess if you all want to go, I will too…

- YES! said the other boys.


So? What do you think? Good? Bad? Too much dialogues, perhaps? Please R-E-V-I-E-W! The next chapter will be out soon… It will talk about the Masquerade Ball!
