she was pretty, sexy, smart, funny and wouldt only turn one boy's head in hogwarts and she knew it.
hermione was in her seventh year, the last one, and was made headgirl, as she found out a week ago as the usual school-letter came. she hoped that harry made headboy, so they could have a nice time at the head-quarters.
as she walked down the stairs to the kitchen, she noticed that something was wrong, her parents looked like they had something very important to tell her.
"what is it, mum, dad?" she asked fearing that something bad could have happend perhaps something concerning voldemord?
"we have to tell you something very important, sweety" her mum said "something we should have told you long time ago" hermione looked suspicious.
hermiones father talked this time "first we have to tell you that we are a pureblood family, and not only some pureblood family, we are an older and richer pureblood family than the malfoys or blacks. you see, when voldemord raised, he wanted us to join him, because of our power. we naturally revused, and he got very angry and threatened to kill us, and you. so we did go into hiding with the last name 'granger' our, and your last name is 'lorange'-"
hermione gasped, she had read much about old and powerful pureblood wizard family's and had read about the loranges and now she just discovered that she was one of them!
"-so you see your name is hermione Lorange and you did go to hogwarts with the name hermione granger as a muggleborn." her parents looked expectantly at her "and one thing you don't know either is, that before we got into hiding a month before you even were born, you were betrothed to a pureblood boy in your age."
hermione was near tears, her dream was to find the man she loved and marry him, but now all was over, she would marry a man she didn't even love "the day, of your graduation is to be your marriage" when he finished the last sentence her parents looked at her like if they wanted her to forgive them. "how could you do this to me? tell me this is not true! i don't want to marry some boy i don't even know, possibly some boy i will never be able to love!"
"Albus Dumbledore will announce today at the great hall that the hiding of the loranges has finally an end and will announce you, my deary, as hermione lorange, a member of this family, and naturally a pureblood."
hermione ran into her room tears streaming down her cheeks. she started to take her trunks and put them down into the car. she was wearing a black miniskirt and a summergreen tank-top with a black jacket and black high sandals.
then she walked in again and started to eat her breakfast in total silence, when she was ready she just said "i am ready, lets go"
10 minutes later they were at the kings cross and hermione just said a simple "bye" and vanished between the people in the station.
"are you sure we made the correct telling it to her ..." asked Mrs. Granger her husband. "don't worry honey, she will understand, maybe not yet, but someday she will."
"oh crookshanks" she said to her cat "how could they do this to me"
she walked trough the wall being careful that no muggle would see her.
when she was trough the wall she could see the red hogwarts express.
First, she decided she would put her trunks in the head compartment and then she would search harry and ron.
so when she found the headcompartment she put her trunks there and then started to search for read hair.
she saw the two boys just a few meters apart from her.
"sorry, i am searching some boys named harry potter and ronald weasly, do you know where they are?" she asked in her best french accent. "sur-" started ron "hermione!" harry shouted. ron seemed to be startled by the comment of his friend "uhm harry? are you sure this is hermione? i mean, this girl has french accent and is a bit different to hermione don't you think?"
"ron, do you really didn't recognize me?" asked hermione surprised "uhmm.. no" said ron turning red "Ha i knew it mate" harry said to ron
"well uhmmm...lets ... ehh... yes.. lets search... an comparment" said ron, while gawking at hermione
"uhm... ron? i am headgirl, remember the letter i send you and harry to the burrow one week ago?" she asked with raised eyebrow
"UHM, AAHHH YESSS, CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN hermione! WE KNEW YOU WOULD MAKE IT!" said harry and ron in unison
"thanks guys" said hermione laughing at their enthusiasm
"oh, and who is headboy?"
"oh" said hermione sadly "i thought it was one of you two"
the boys grinned at each other and then said in unison "nope, non of us"
hermione looked sad "i hope it is no slytherin"
"well guys, i have to go now, to the headcompartment, see you later"
"bye mione" the said again in unison
as she stood in front of the door of the headcompartment she took a deep breath and opened the door.
"'MALFOY?'" she cried out incredoluosy as she saw the platinium blond haired and a smirking arrogant bastard siting at the big compartment (which was decorated in silver gold red and green)
"Ah, the mudblood bookworm made headgirl, eh?"
you just wait she thought with a grins which seemed to confuse malfoy.
"well, i at least got the position because i am a responsable and good student" she said grinning "you got the position because your 'daddy' bought it" she told him selfsatisfied.
she sat at the other side grinning widely while malfoy was giving her a skeptical eye.
he had to admit that she was a young pretty woman now DRACOO YOU ARE A PUREBLOOD AND SHE A MUDBLOOD SHE HAS NOT MORE VALUE THEN AN HOUSEELF HOW CAN YOU SAY SHE IS PRETTY, STOP IT! draco thought to himself.
why did she grin when i insult her? and i thought at the moment when she opened the door, that i could entertain myself with her reactions of an insult! she just grins or laughs! arhhgg
"go out malfoy, i have to change to the school robes" she demanded after a while "why should i, you are the mudblood here!" he remarked coldly and angry how dare she demand me to leave, only so she can change into some old schoolrobes!
"Malfoy, 'I' am the girl here, so just leave !" she said matter of factly
"ahrrgg, annoying bossy and bookworm mudblood"
after that he got back to his cold manner but at least he left.
10 minutes later granger called him "you can come back in malfoy!"
when he entered and sat down, he noticed that she was wearing special hogwarts designer robes, the same ones he would be wearing this year, because he finally had the size. "cresini robes!" he cried out in surprise and amazement forgetting to be cold and insulting.
"Yes, any problem?" "No, i was just asking myself how it comes that a poor mudblood, as you are, can afford robes of the best and most expensive desinger robes" he said coldly pointing 'poor mudblod' and 'as 'you' are' very clearly.
She Laughed. he looked atonished angry cold insulting and a little part amazed at her beautiful laugh.
DRACO! STOP YOURSELF
"why the hell you keep laughing or grinning when i insult you!" he demanden angrily and cold.
she laughed again "wait until you hear the discours of dumbledore tonight" and with that, she started to read a book.
he sighed, what no one should know until his oficial annunce at his graduation was that he was betrothed to a pureblood girl he didn't know. the only thing he knew of her, was that she didn't live in england, nor did she go to hogwarts.
hermione observed him curiously, he looked like he was deep in thoughts look at him, he looks goood! no he doesnt...
the train stoped and draco took his robes and got to the lavatory to change.
being a pureblood will be funny, everything malfoy had said was not true anymore: bushyhead,mudblood etc.
when she arrived at the head carriage she felt happy:
it was a black wood carriage with silver and gold incrustations, as she opened the door it was even more beautiful, the seats were made of an material she had never seen. it was like velvet but even nicer. in dark blood red. the rest of the inner carriage was made in black wood too, and as at the outside, there were silver and gold incrustations. she saw some candles in silver or gold at the sides giving the carriage a nice touch.
she had to wait 5 minutes until malfoy finally appeared, with cresini robes, as she saw at a closer look at his robes. "hi 'mud'blood" he said saying pointing out the 'mud' in the word mudblood
"hi ferret" after that words she started to laugh incontrollable. she remembered very clearly as malfoy bounced up and down as a ferret with profesor moody pointing his wand at him. it was like a detention. well, a shame that moody was not moody, he was only an impostor, a death eater send by voldemort to kill harry at the competition of the three wizards.
"its not funny what moody did to me you dumb mudblood" he said angry and cold
"yes it is!" she said laughing again
"no" he said angrily
"yes" she laughed again
"no" he shouted
"yes" she brought out between laughs
"no" malfoy said between gritted teeth
"yes" she said with a red face still laughing
"yes" he shouted "shit" he said angry
"haaa i got you, that works every time haha"
"cheater"
"ahrg you are totally childish" she said like if she was talking to a child
"ahhrggggg" he brought out.
silence.
then the carriage did a violent move and malfoy fell on top of hermione both on the floor, their faces only a few inches away, malfoy stared intently at her full pink lips, he had the strange desire to kiss her, the same desire that she had. then he closed his eyes,...and got up hermione did the same, she was breathing heavily.
the rest of the way passed in akwarded silence both trying not to meet the others eyes, both were desiring the same. kiss the other.
they walked into the hall five minutes later and sat down.
Draco observed hermione and saw her laugh with her friends.
he felt sad, he only had people who feared him around him.
perhaps that was what he liked in her she did not fear him.
the first years came in and the sorting head began to sing. but neither of them did hear him, they were to deep in their thoughts, the betroth.
was she nice? thought malfoy and pretty? and sympathic?
was he nice? thought hermione and good looking? and sympathic?
the same thoughts but yet they couldnt talk to each other they didn't know that the had the same destiny, the destiny of a betroth to a stranger.
when both of them awaked from their thoughts, the first years were already sorted.
then dumbledore stood up. hermiones heart raced faster.
"welcome to a new year here at hogwarts, as always i want to remember you that the forest out there is strictly forbidden. mr. filch has asked me to tell you that the electric stink bombs are now on the list of the forbidden objects and wants me to remind you that you can read the list at the door of his office." he started "i want you to know the new Heads which are: hermione Lorange and Draco Malfoy"
everyone who knew the name lorange, now looked confused, in this room was a member of the most powerful pureblood family?
seemed to think the most of the students.
draco, well he looked hororrized at the thought that hermione was no mudblood and was one of the best pureblood family.
"those who know the name lorange, surely are asking themselves how that can be possible, well, here is the explanation: The Lorange is the most powerful,oldest and richest pureblood family of the world, so you can imagine that when voldemord still had power he wanted them to join him"
"so when the loranges revused to join voldemords side, the had to go into hiding under the last name 'Granger', because the were in a big danger."
everyone gasped and looked at hermione.
"I am now very happy to announce, that now that voldemord is dead, it is secure enough to go out of the hiding. so now Mrs. Granger will be called by her real name Mrs. Lorange.
"and now, lets start eating, before we starve!" he clapped in his hands and the wonderful food appeared.
"yes! i agree" said ron loudly, the gryffindor table and the staff started to laugh and ron's ears turned beetred.
everyone started eating and the hall soon was full of happy chatter. and many of the students, finally, feeled that they were at home.
after everyone finished the delicious meal dumbledore stood up again.
"i have other announcement to make. this year the seventh years will have the possibility of a special event."
"the weasly twins fred and george will organize a serie of games, under this games will be: Truth or Dare, Strippoker and some more" he was smiling warmly at the students as he said that.
"the ones wanting to participate, will have to put their name on" he let apear a big list flying at the middle of the hall "this wonderful list" he grinned widely "now i want to welcome fred and george!" the big hall doors opened and fred and george walked in grinning an evil grin. the sat at the gryffindor table and started to chatter a bit.
"so now the heads of your houses will take you to your respektive house-quarters. good night students"
"hey this is cool, come on hermione we will sign our names" said ron "yeah mate i wouldn't want to miss that event even for 100 galleons!"
"uhm, i don't think that its a good idea guys" said hermione skeptically
"oh come on hermione will you let us alone?" said harry with puppy eyes
"fine! fine! stop looking at me like that i will put my name at that damned list ok?"
the two boys smiled at her widely.
-
so finally the list was composed of following names:
Harry Potter
Ronald Weasly
hermione Lorange
Draco Malfoy
Vincent Crabbe
Gregory Goyle
Pansy Parkinson
Dean Thomas
-----
"strange" said hermione to ron and harry "only gryffindors and slytherins have written their name on the list no people from hufflepuf or ravenclaw"
"Yeah, you are right, mione and its not that we are so much either, a shame, that games are really funny" said ron
"guys, i have to go to the great hall so mcgonnagal shows me and malfoy the headquarters"
"malfoy?" asked the boys in unison
"yes" she said angrily
"oh and mione, why did you never tell us that you were a pureblood in hiding with the last name lorange?"
"simple, i didn't know it until this morning, bye bye boys!"
"bye mione!" they called
uhf i don't want then to know about the bethrot, they would posibily not be anymore my friends she thought sadly as she entered the grat hall.
"Mrs. Lorange Mr. Malfoy follow me please" said Prof. McGonnagal.
"i will now lead you to you HeadQuarters, memorize the way."
it took them 5 minutes to go to the quarters, and hermione had not memorized the way, much to her disgust malfoy hadn't either, at what she saw he was just as her to deep in thoughts. what was it what he was thinking about? she coudn't get the question out of her mind.
the password is 'purelove' memorize it, the portrait will not let you enter without.
"purelove" said hermione, and the portrait opened to discover a a passage to a wonderful room, well, it was no room it was a big hall, there was a gold,red,silver,green decoration everywhere, two couches in front of the fireplace, it was a nice warmth in the room, and hermione felt comfortable in her home for this year. "your belongings are in your room. good night" heard hermione say the prof. and then the portrait was closed.
"so you are a pureblood eh?" asked malfoy.
"well yes."
"since when do you know it?" he asked curiously
"well, well, if that isn't a malfoy being nice, i know it since this morning" hermione said with an amused face
"well, i can be nice if i want" he said grinning.
hermione looked around and found another big door, as she opened it she gasped, it was a big kitchen.
"wonderful!" she cried out "i love to cook, and now i have the posibillity!" she smiled widely and turned to malfoy
"tell me, what is your favorite menu, malfoy?" she asked still smiling warmly
"hmmm, you shouldnt say this anyone because my father would kill me if he knew i love just simple food" he said laughig his first happy laugh he had laughed in years "a bit of pasta with pesto or tomato-sauce" "and finally pancake with applecompot" he grinned at her widely.
"okay, i will cook that, its easy" she said laughing
"let me cook with you" said malfoy
hermione looked at him surprised
"my father would kill me, if i would cook at the manor, thats the work of the houseelfs"
hermione sighed
"come one granger i love to cook, just as you"
"well, okay" she said smiling again
"but first you have to do one thing"
"which?"
"my name is H-E-R-M-I-O-N-E"
"hi hermione" he said grinning "my name is D-R-A-C-O"
"hi draco" she said giggling
well lets start!
they were only cooking an half an hour but later the food was delicious.
"mhh, how do you make the applecompot hermione? its delicious!"
"secret" she said she giggled as draco gave her a look that should mean: come on!
"well, goodnight 'draco'" she said after they were ready with cleaning "goodnight'hermione'"
