Chapter One: Start of the Blooming Rose
Hermione rushed out of the thick, oak doors of the Great Hall. As petite as she was, she swung it open like she had the strength of a giant centaur. She left classmates in uncertainty and thought. Why did their Head girl leave in such hurry with no forewarning whatsoever? Is there something that they may need to ask her about later? As many were left to ponder, Hermione got closer and closer to her dormitory. She was more inconsiderate at each increase of speed. She even dashed right through Sir Nicholas, one of the many ghosts that resided in Hogwarts, School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Sir Nicholas was head ghost of Gryffindor.
"My, dear child! Do slow down!" replied an exasperated Sir Nicholas. Who did this child think she was? "Wait, Hermione? My goodness, what's causing you to be so unaware of your surroundings?" he asked, surprised.
"Oh! Sorry, Sir Nicholas. Uh, well I have to get to my dormitory. Um, I think I left one of my books, and I really need it for my next class. Yes! You know how I am," Hermione smiled and retorted, with little thought.
"Ah. Well, please be a little bit more careful. You're lucky I'm a ghost, otherwise, I would've been knocked over like a tree!"
"I will. Sorry, again. Talk to you later, bye."
Hermione swiftly left Sir Nicholas. Small talk would only slow her down, and she certainly didn't need that. Less than a minute later, she reached the portrait. It contained a silver dragon and a beautiful princess, who was stroking the dragon. The princess's name was Princess Hera. She had beautiful, long golden brown hair. She was only about 5'6". Her eyes were of enchanted cinnamon sticks, with specks of brown sugar that shine so brightly. She was known for being one of the very few of royal blood to fall in love with a dragon, and actually marry him, too. This, of course, was forbidden in her time. But Hera didn't care, as you can tell, for she did marry him and had kids. How did she have kids with the dragon, you are probably asking? She had a favor from Merlin, the great wizard in her time. He found a way in which Hera could produce a child, with human looks, but some dragon traits. Books tell us that she only had three children. No one really knows for sure.
As for the dragon, his name was Desiderious, or he was known as Prince Desiderious. His name meant desire, or desired one. His family came from Aurelias, also known as the Kingdom of Great Dragons. Desiderious was a tall and an extremely handsome dragon. His scales were a shade of gray and blue. His belly was silver. His eyes were of a piercing storm cloud, but hints of sky blue that overcame his eye when he was satisfied, or happy. He was very pleased with life, his lovely wife and children.
The lovely couple was startled. They didn't expect any company for another hour or so.
"Hermione, what brings you here? Aren't you suppose to be eating lunch right now?" asked Hera.
"Really. You're petite, and you need as much food as you can eat. Don't go anorexic on me!" exclaimed Desiderious. He didn't think Hermione to be an eat-it-all-and-throw-it-all-up type of person. She was very intelligent, smart, and beautiful. She knew better, much better.
"Oh, I've already finished eating. I didn't really have a big appetite to begin with. I just needed something in my room. It's really important, and I need it for my next class, which is potions, if you didn't know. Professor Snape would have my back, neck, and legs if I forgot it, " Hermione replied. She didn't want anyone to be worrying about her, or even having little suspicions at about this time.
"Really? Wow, you have it easier now than last century. If I forgot something, my professor would have my tongue AND head! But, I was clever back then, so that never happened to me," Desiderious replied, with a big grin plastered on his face. "That must be one of the many reasons all eyes were on me!" Desiderious smirked. Of course, Princess Hera smacked his head.
"They must not have been pretty, because I ended up getting the foul creature!" Hera said, teasingly.
"Hey! I'm not a 'foul' creature, as you so call me. I was very attractive."
"Sure, honey. Keep thinking that." It was Hera's turn to be smirking.
"Uh hum! I think I'm the one that needs to get in my dormitory," Hermione interrupted.
"Oh, sorry, dear. Now, password?" asked Hera.
"Adamo Tui Inimicus "
The common room was very big. There was a red and silver love seat centered in the middle, facing the fireplace, which was on the right of the room. There was also a couch located on either side of the love seat. They were both green with gold linings. On the left was a huge, cherry colored wooden bookcase, full of books of all sizes, shapes, and colors. Then, there were two stairways leading up to two rooms. Upstairs, the loo, or bathroom, was located exactly in the middle. The bathroom was very large, indeed, inside. The bathtub was the size of a swimming pool. Of course, the shower was about ten feet long and wide, with golden borders, and a very special type of glass. You could look outside, but you couldn't look into it. There were two sinks, both on the left side of the bathroom. A large mirror was plastered on the wall, right behind the sinks. Now, back to the dormitory itself. These were specially intended for the Head girl and boy of the year. They were like the assistant principals, just kids. Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy were Head girl and boy this year. The room on the left was Draco's, and the room on the right was Hermione's. Draco's room was decorated with green and silver, which were the Slytherin house colors. Hermione's room was adorned with red and gold. Of course, these were the Gryffindor house colors. Both rooms contained a walk-in closet, vanity, and a king size bed, with a small window overlooking the Quidditch field and the Forbidden Forest. Even though they were from different houses, they were still qualified to the Head boy and girl positions. Professor Dumbledore specially approved of this, as he wants house peace. There were so many conflicts dealing with the other house, which included Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. Ravenclaw's house colors are blue and silver, and Hufflepuff's house colors are yellow and black. There are total 4 houses. These problems have been going on for centuries, but dreams are never ending.
Hermione quickly rushed up the right stairs. She opened the door and walked right in. She hurried to her vanity, and she got out the dark blue box. The delicate glass rose lay perfectly on the red satin underneath it. It was so beautiful, so fragile. Hermione felt like she should leave it in the box, untouched, but she really wanted to know. Just the thought of the possibilities, she made up her mind and slowly grasped the rose, being as careful and soft as she could be. She held it in her hand like a small diamond, afraid to break such a wonderful object, but she moved on. As she grasped it, she reached into the box and grabbed the parchment located in a secret compartment just underneath the satin. While holding the rose, she read the parchment out loud: "Rose of such beauty, rose of such grace, I ask thee to do thy duty. Expose my true feelings and my fate." As she gradually finished the spell, the rose began to turn many shades of color, from a deep see blue, to a bright blood red. Hermione gasped. The rose glowed a bright color, a color that she had not expected. Just as she looked in horror at the rose, the portrait opened up. "Hermione? I didn't know you were here. Wait, what's wrong?" Hermione slowly looked up at the voice of the speaker. It was Draco Malfoy! Realization suddenly hit her. Since she was very fragile and weak at the moment, she did the last thing in her mind. She fainted, but she still had the rose clasped in her hand. "Hermione!" Draco Malfoy caught her in his strong arms, before she hit the ground. He had no clue what was going on, but he was soon going to find out.
