Chapter 1 – Our Solemn Hour
Normal POV
"Draco Luscius Malfoy! If you don't come down this instance, I will drag you out of that room. And this time, I mean it!" Narcissa Malfoy screamed. Draco Malfoy groaned as he trudged down the stairs with his suitcase. He was in his Slytherin robes and ready to go.
"Yes, mother? You screamed for me?"
"Don't be cheeky with me, Draco. Come one, I don't want you to be late for school." She smiled and grabbed his suitcase. He smirked.
"I can carry that, you know." Narcissa turned around and glared at her son. Draco knew when to stop annoying his mother. It was his last year at Hogwarts and he didn't want to go. To tell you the truth, he didn't want to stop studying at Hogwarts. Hogwarts was a big and important part of his life. He sighed.
"Come on, son. We'll be taking the portkey." Draco smiled as he walked up to his mother. Her long blonde hair was tied up into a neat ponytail. His father, Luscius Malfoy had died a year ago when Harry Potter killed The Dark Lord. His troubles were over. All he had to do was face his last year. He smiled sadly.
"Now, now, Draco. We can't have you being sad. Enjoy your last year and take care of yourself. I'll be fine. Besides, you'll be seeing me pretty soon."
"Yes, mother. I love you. You take care and owl me sometimes." He smiled and kissed his mother goodbye before touching the portkey and leaving. Narcissa Malfoy grinned. Finally got rid of him. Now, I can pack and get ready. She smiled happily. Ever since her husband died, she no longer had to worry about Draco being punished and getting killed. Her husband was cruel but she did love him.
Hermione's POV
My week had gone from bad to worse. I have lost my best friend who by the way was also my boyfriend. I smiled sadly at the thought of him. How could this have happen? I kept asking myself. I've always been there for him. I didn't think he was capable of doing that to me. The tears fell from my eyes again. I wiped them away. I refuse to cry over him. If you're wondering who he is, let's take a journey back into the past. About a week ago.
FLASHBACK – One week ago
"Ron, I'm going down to Diagon Alley, sweetheart. Do you need anything?" I asked Ron, who was my boyfriend at that time. He shook his head and smiled.
"I'll stay here and finish up some stuff. You take care, alright. I love you." Ron kissed me goodbye before I left. Ron was getting a little bit distant and sensitive these past few days. He wasn't being himself. I soon forgot about Ron as I spent hours shopping with Ginny and Luna. We laughed and gossiped. We couldn't wait for the new term to begin.
"Hey, why isn't Lavender here?" I asked curiously. Luna shrugged.
"Maybe she's still packing. She said she'll meet us at Ron's place later." Ginny replied. I forgot about Lavender as soon as we went shopping again. We bought our new robes and books. Finally, we went back to Ron's house.
"Mrs. Weasley."
"Yes, Hermione?"
"Did Lavender drop by?"
"Yeah, she's upstairs in Ginny's room." I frowned. Why would she be up there? I walked up the stairs slowly. I wanted to check up on Ron. I bought him something from Diagon Alley that he might like. Something for his broom. I opened the door and what I saw shocked me.
"Ron! How could you?" I screamed at him. There in front of me was Ron and Lavender making out. Tears threatened to fall from my eyes.
"Hermione. Wait! You don't under-" He got up and took my hand. I pulled it away.
"I don't understand? And you Lavender! You're my best friend!" I turned to Ron once again. "Ron, I loved you. You were my best friend. I trusted you and I was willing to give my life up for you. I didn't think you were capable of doing this, Ron. I really didn't. How long was this going on?" They kept still and quiet. Ginny, Luna and Harry ran up the stairs and gaped when they heard me screaming. I shook my head. "HOW LONG?" I screamed even louder.
"Two weeks, Mione. I'm sorry." Lavender tried to apologize. I looked at them with disgust.
"Two weeks? Ron, for two weeks? Maybe I wasn't pretty enough for you."
"Hermione, I didn't mean for it to be this way."
"I'm sure you didn't. Nobody wants me. Nobody loves me." I threw his gift on the floor in front of his face.
She couldn't take one more day.
Home was more her prison now
Independence called out
She had to get it
A fight was all she needed
To give her reason
I looked at Harry, Ginny, Luna, Ron and Lavender and shook my head. I should've known that they'd all betray me.
She slammed the door with no goodbye
I slammed the door shut and I didn't even say goodbye.
And knew that it was time
Now she's driving too fast
She didn't care to glance behind
I packed my bags quickly and didn't even glance behind. I heard them call me but I ignored them and walked out of the house. Lavender was chased out immediately after that. I smiled sadly. Good for her. Ron deserves better, I guess.
And through her tears she laughed
It's time to kiss the past goodbye
I laughed at my stupidity. Who am I kidding? All guys are just the same. They use the girl, get what they want then break the girl's heart.
I'm finally on my own
Don't try to tell me no
There's so much more for me
Just watch what I will be
I knew I'd have to face them at Hogwarts but I couldn't. Not right now. I'll show them. I'll do better. I'm better than them. All of them. I don't need anyone of them.
She walked away
Couldn't say why she was leaving
She walked away
She left all she had believed in
She walked away
Harry stared at Ron in disgust. "How could you, Ron? How could you?" He shook his head sadly. Ginny patted his back and glared at her brother angrily. They we're all angry and worried.
Not a day goes by
For the ones she's left behind
They're always asking why
And thoughts of her consume their mind
"Poor Hermione. I didn't think it would come to this." Luna thought angrily. But they all had the same question on their mind. Why?
She walked away
Couldn't say why she was leaving
She walked away
She left all she had believed in
She walked away
Tell her we love her
Tell her she's wanted
One more thing God
Tell her please come home
Please come home
Ron was feeling guilty. "Please come home, Mione. I love you. I want you." He whispered in the empty room. Each and everyone were chanting and praying that she'd be okay. "We love you, Hermione. We want you back." Harry never really cried but this time he was. Hermione was not just his best friend but also like his sister.
The choice is yours alone now
Tell me how this story ends
Hermione ran where she never thought she would. She ran for a long time and spotted a mansion up ahead. Before knocking, she looked at the crest on the door. It looked pretty familiar. She knocked on the door. A lady with long black hair opened it. She had bright blue eyes and rosy cheeks.
"Good morning, girl. May I help you?" She smiled.
"I'm sorry to disturb. May I know where I am?"
"Why? I'm Mrs. Zabini. Melissa Zabini." I gaped. This is Blaise Zabini's house. How embarassing...
"I'm Hermione. Hermione Granger." I tried to smile but my eyes were all puffy and red from all the crying.
"Oh my! Now, I know where I've seen you before. Oh! Welcome, please do come in, my dear. How rude of me!" I smiled and thanked her as I walked in. The manor was beautiful. There were portraits of their ancestors.
"Would you like something to drink?" I shook my head. She led me to her Living Room and asked me to sit.
"So, what's a pretty girl like you doing out here all alone?" I frowned.
"It's pretty complicated Mrs. Zabini."
"Please Melissa is enough. I have time, my dear." The tears and emotions that I tried to bottle up came coming out. I cried until there were no more tears left in my eyes. At the end, Mrs. Zabini just smiled while she comforted me.
"You can stay here, Hermione. Blaise and his father wouldn't mind." I smiled.
"Are you sure?" She nodded.
"Of course. Blaaaisee?" She screamed. Blaise came rushing down and saw me.
"Ermm… Granger? Wonderful to see you. What are you doing here?" Blaise asked confused.
"Well-"
"She's going to be staying here until the new term at Hogwarts starts. You are responsible for her. Even at Hogwarts. I will ask for reports from your teachers, Blaise." I smiled gratefully at his mother. Blaise groaned. A Slytherin never helps a Gryffindor. He took my bags and smiled at me when his mother glared at him.
"I'll lead you to our guest bedroom."
"Thanks, Zabini."
"Blaise, please."
"Then, call me Hermione. I'd really appreciate it." I smiled at him.
FLASHBACK ENDED
Well, yes. Ron that stupid jerk. I was quite reluctant to leave to Hogwarts at first But Blaise's mother told me I had to face them sooner or later. So, here I am at the station about to go in the train with Blaise when all of a sudden…
"Blaise?" Draco Malfoy called out. The Devil appeared. He just had to appear.
"Erm… Draco? Well, nice to see you." Draco turned to look at me and smiled.
"Who's the pretty girl?" Draco stared at me while asking Blaise. He didn't recognize me. Merlin. I bit the urge back to laugh. I totally forgot that Blaise's mum did my hair.
"Draco, that's-"
"Hermione Granger also known as MUDBLOOD! Remember me, now?" I asked him.
"Erm… I'm sorry. I thought you were someone else" He blushed. Blaise laughed.
"Malfoy, a little advice. Next time, you should look at who you're complimenting before you compliment." I turned to walk away but then I saw Ginny, Harry, Luna and Ron and Lavender walking together. So, they've decided to replace me. I smiled evilly and went up to Malfoy. I had a plan up my sleeve.
"So, Malfoy. You don't mind if I sit with you bunch of Slytherins, right?" I batted my eyelashes at him and played with his tie. He looked happy enough and took my hand.
"Don't make a habit of this all the time, Granger. This is going to happen just once. You're going to have the ride of your life. We, Slytherins are great company to hang with." He grinned. Just then, I heard Ron call out to me. I turned around pretending not to see him but he ran up to me and pulled me to look at him.
"Weasel, trying to hit on my girl?" Draco noticed and glared at Ron. Ron looked mad. Harry and the rest of them appeared behind him.
"Your girl? Since when was she yours, ferret?" Ron asked jealously and laughed. I was going to answer when Draco did it for me.
"Since you slept with Lavender the Whore." Ron immediately tensed. Lavender cringed. She was fuming mad. It was pretty obvious. Harry and the rest though looked pretty confused.
"I didn't sleep with her it was an accident. I never meant for it to happen." He tried to explain.
"Two weeks is not an accident. Besides, you have to explain to Hermione and not me. Well, as they always say. Expect the Unexpected." Draco and his gang laughed. I glared at him before walking away with Draco into the carriage. Just then I realised that he called me Hermione and he also knew what had happened.
"Hey, Malfoy. Thanks for helping me but how did you-"
"Know? My dear Granger. Blaise can't keep anything from me. Besides, since when did you become one of my fan girls?" I laughed.
"Very funny, Malfoy. Thanks for lying about being your girl and all."
"Who said I was lying about that part? You're going to be mine, Granger. Sooner or later." I frowned.
"Funny joke, Malfoy. You're already making my term better." I smiled at him and he smiled back. Maybe he isn't that bad after all, I thought as I leant into the soft cushion of the carriage.
