"The mind has a thousand eyes and the heart but one: Yet the light of a whole life dies when love is done." Francis William Bourdillon
Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy are known as enemies at school. But everything changes with just one quote by muggle Francis William Bourdillon. When a book at the school library comes alive it brings them to a world that they need to escape. They just need to trust each other and remember the quote from the poem. If they do maybe they can fight and find their way out. Or they might get trapped in the world forever?
Chapter 1 Remember the Quote
It was another day at Hogwarts and the same thing was happening as always. Draco Malfoy was annoying Hermione Granger as always. He was considered a pompous prat who flaunted his money at any chance he got. Hermione was getting annoyed at it that she was getting ready to put her foot down or more like in his mouth.
Both her friends Harry Potter and Ron Weasley had been over the edge for a long time that day. It doesn't take all that much to set them off when it comes to Draco Malfoy. It could be something as simple as a smirk on his face. They consider themselves enemies and that they will always be enemies no matter what.
But at the moment Malfoy was making fun of Hermione in Potions class. She looked back at him as he was mocking her. He kept on hopping up on his chair whenever he could put his hand in the air as if he had the answer to a question. The other Slytherin's, guffawed at him; while Hermione just flushed a pink color on her cheeks.
"Let me at him." said Ron Weasley at the moment
Neither of them could take it that Malfoy was making fun of Hermione. They just wanted to snap his neck instead of doing the potion they were supposed to be focusing on.
"No you can't, you can't give him the satisfaction." told Hermione
"Hermione he's making fun of you." Ron Weasley retorted
"So what you need to be a better person than him." said Hermione
"I don't care about being a better person. I want to wring his neck." replied Ron
"Honestly Hermione this is Malfoy he's asking for it." said Harry
"I don't care think about yourselves, think about the points you could lose for the house." told Hermione
"I don't care about that at the moment he's making fun of you." said Ron
"Let him." Hermione scoffed
She went back to looking at her potion to see how far she was in it. She seemed to get pretty far into it. They were in their seventh year and were supposed to be creating Polyjuice Potion. It wasn't too bad since they created it once before for mere curious and educational purposes in their second year. It was mostly her who created while Harry and Ron were to the side watching her.
The only reason they did it was so Harry and Ron could infiltrate the Slytherin common room without Draco Malfoy knowing. Malfoy seemed to have been planning something that year to them and they wanted to know what it was so they could be a step ahead. It wasn't a total loss or a total gain because they did get access and information but things got in the crosshairs.
She sighed as they were only the part one stage, the beginning stage of the potion. At their table she was the only one to get the best result of the potion since she did it once before. She noticed that Harry was doing fairly well by actually following the directions as best as he could. But then she noticed Ron who seemed to be whimpering into his potion as it was starting to curdle on him.
Twenty minutes later when class was over she got as far that she needed to be at. Hermione wiped her forehead with her arm. It was a lot of work to be doing even if she already did it once. She grabbed the cauldron and brought it up to a counter setting it on it as she put her name on it. But as she set her cauldron on counter she crashed into it as she was sprawled all over counter with some bulk on top of her.
It seemed heavy but she didn't know what it was. But there seemed to be something pressed into her back that felt hard almost like a rock. Her bushy brown hair got in her mouth. But what was worse was that her potion splattered and went everywhere on top of her on her clothes as well as another potion. She was lucky nothing major was happening to her.
"So sorry." said the voice of Ron Weasley
"You idiot." said the voice of Draco Malfoy on top of her knowing what the bulk is now and that his elbow must be pressed into her
"Can you get off me?" Hermione finally got out of her mouth
"Whatever Granger." muttered Draco Malfoy as he went back a little and slowly getting up
Hermione heaved herself off the floor as she grunted. As she got up she looked at her robe and school uniform to see both her potion and Malfoy's potion all over her. It would have been worse if Malfoy wasn't looking the same as her in the same state.
"I'm so sorry Hermione." said Ron again
"Detention Weasley." said the remark of their Potions Master Professor Snape coming over "Twice a week for a month for idiocy. I will need a sixteen inch essay from both Draco and Granger on the proper use of the Polyjuice Potion, its effects and how to properly brew it. As well with everyone I need an eighteen inch essay on the history of the potion. I want it next week and Miss Granger, Mr. Malfoy I want your other essay next class. Weasley, come with me."
Hermione saw that Ron was looking at her with a sorry impression as he left with Professor Snape to get his detention schedule and punishment. She then looked down at herself glad that class was over so she can go back to the dorms before dinner started. But then she realized that everyone that was in the class was looking at her and Draco. They had started murmuring.
Hermione went over to her seat grabbing her bag and ran from the classroom not wanting people to talk about her in low whispers. She was now going to be the news and gossip of the school. She doesn't want it as she ran in the dungeons going up finding a trail to bring up to the fifth floor where the, portrait of the Head dorms were.
At the beginning of her seventh year before it started she got made Head Girl really ecstatic about it. But when she learned the Draco Malfoy got made Head Boy her head was boiling. The reason was because the Head Girl of Gryffindor had to share head dorms with the Head Boy of Slytherin. She went up a small set of stairs and then went to her own room.
She took off her school robes and uniform and grabbed a new set of school robes and uniform. She sighed glad to get the potion off of the clothes she was wearing. But she still had some on her hands, neck and face. So she went over to the bathroom as she heard footsteps coming up the stairs to see Malfoy coming up to his room to change.
She looked at him briefly before she opened the door to the bathroom going inside. She locked the door then went over to the sink turning the water on warm. She put her hands under the water getting rid of the potion that she on them as it went down the drain. She then cupped water in her hands putting it on her neck and face rubbing the potion off. She put water and soap on any place she could find skin that has potion trying to get it all off. She went over to the door unlocking it and opened the door up when a fist was at the door about to knock.
"Go ahead I'm done." said Hermione as she started going down the stairs
"Granger." said Malfoy to her as she tried to avoid him "Are you going down to dinner?"
"Nope." replied Hermione not hungry anymore
"Going to the library then." Draco smirked
"None of your business Malfoy." said Hermione as she was walking
She went out of the portrait as Malfoy was following her forgetting about the potion still on his hands, face and neck and anywhere else that could get that wasn't clothes. She doesn't get why he was following her at all. She went down stairs with her bag in tow while Draco Malfoy was following her. She doesn't get why he has to be following her.
She got to the library and opened the door going inside as she was going to get her homework done. She set her bag on a table then went off into the shelves to look for books to help her with her homework. She got two pieces of homework from Professor Snape because of the accident that was caused by her best friend Ron Weasley. She also has homework from McGonagall for Transfiguration, Herbology and every class that she is taking at the current moment.
She grabbed one book and put it on the table, then she went back and grabbed a second book, then grabbed a third book and was going to grab a fourth book when Malfoy came over to her. She was holding onto the book as he looked at her.
"What Malfoy? I'm already a laughing stock because of you and now everyone is going to know what happened in Potions." said Hermione to him
"That was Weasley's fault if you recall." Draco retorted back
"It was an accident on his part." replied Hermione as she walked over to the table and set the book down
"Yeah accident." muttered Draco as he crossed his arms in front of him "So he's saying."
Hermione looked at Malfoy seeing that he never went in the bathroom to clean the potion from his hands, face, neck or anything else. It was hard as she sucked in a deep breath. In her own eyes it made him even better looking but she never paid any attention to his looks. He was a conceited jerk as it was and she doesn't need more of it.
"I see you at the Head dorms every day and night having to deal with it Malfoy and then when we get to classes you make fun of me. It's like you make a habit and game of it. Ron wanted at you and wring your neck of what you were doing to me." explained Hermione to him as she went back to the shelves
"I can't help that you're a bookworm, geek and know-it-all." said Malfoy
"So what if I am? At least I'm not a conceited jerk that flaunts his money all around any chance he gets and is a pompous prat." replied Hermione
"I am not." said Malfoy coming over
"You sure as hell are." Hermione retorted wanting to shout at him
"At least it's better than what you are being the bookworm, know-it-all, teacher's pet and all around perfect." said Malfoy getting his courage to fight back
"Perfect? I am not perfect. You have Snape wrapped around his pinky finger." Hermione nearly shouted roaring with anger inside of her with so many things bubbling down the surface
While they were fighting they didn't notice that a book off on the side had started to glow gold as it somehow got activated by something. It was like it sensed something was happening around it. But Malfoy and Hermione were to engross in their quarrel that they weren't paying attention at all.
"I do not have Snape wrapped around my pinky finger." Draco huffed back
"You sure as hell do." said Hermione as she placed her hands on her hips
"What about you Miss Perfect with Professor McGonagall?" wondered Draco as Hermione huffed at him
The book got brighter by the moment and started to levitate as it went off the shelf. But Malfoy and Hermione still weren't paying any attention to it. They were paying attention to each other jumping at each other's throats. It started making its way towards them.
"She likes me because I know what I'm doing and that I don't goof off." Hermione retaliated
"Oh I see and that can't be with me and Professor Snape." said Malfoy
"Malfoy . . ." said Hermione as she noticed the book glowing and coming towards them
"No Granger I got the way I'm here because of my own smarts and not because of anything else." said Malfoy continuing on his tangent
"Malfoy." said Hermione still paying attention to the book
"Granger don't you get it." said Malfoy
"No Malfoy look around you." said Hermione as he turned around to see the book in front of them glowing
"Why is there a book levitating and glowing?" wondered Malfoy with stupefaction
It was still glowing as it landed in Hermione's hands and the title page of the book opened at her as something spoke out at them.
"The mind has a thousand eyes and the heart but one: Yet the light of a whole life dies when love is done."
The rest of the book starting turning the pages fast on its own until it landed on a page in the middle of the book. The pages glowed and out shot something at them as they got encircled in sparkles and the glow of the book that Hermione was holding. It went all around creating a strange kind of magic to that they have never seen before. The magic that was there seemed like it was ancient as long as the school has been around possible. They tried to move and get out of the magic but the pull was to strong until finally the book pulled them inside of it.
Both of them landed on the ground of a grassy hillside. They sighed as they looked around wondering where they were but it was hard to tell. It was dark and night outside where all they could see was millions of stars above their heads. There was nothing there.
But then they looked down at themselves seeing they changed outfits and that they were no longer at Hogwarts as they knew it. Hermione noticed she was wearing a blush colored what she could call a frilly dress but reminds her of a Berengaria gown. While Malfoy seemed to be wearing something to a Tristan Complete Outfit but a bit different with the colors being black, silver and green.
They looked at each other with shocked faces wanting to know where they are now. They last thing that happened to them before they got sucked into the place or wherever they were a book was glowing and floated at them it said something and then sucked them right into this time. They were now stuck here with no book or how to find a way out.
