Chapter 2:

(Author's P. O. V.)

Stefan and Damon are inside of an empty room at the Lockwood Mansion, They seemed to be discussing about what happened with Katherine earlier when she killed Aimee.

Stefan said as he informed Damon 'I put the body in the trunk for now.'

'We'll dump her when we get back.' Damon replied nonchalantly.

'This is exactly what I didn't want it, Damon.' Stefan grunted.

Damon scoffed. 'Stefan, its collateral damage.'

'Right, this is why we need to call it off.' Stefan argued.

'What? Who's hesitating now? Hey! Don't do this to me! This woman ruined our lives, she destroyed us!' Damon said as he disagree to Stefan's demand. 'Tonight it ends. We can do it together. I got your back. Alright?'

Stefan thought for a second before answering. 'Alright. But I don't think Katherine is only our problem.'

'Wha- What?' Damon stuttered in surprise.

'Remember when I was dancing with Katherine? Before she killed Aimee.' Stefan started.

Damon's eyes narrowed and asked. 'What about it?'

'There are three people who was watching us, two girls and a guy.' Stefan stated as he shifted his weight with his other leg. 'The guy is more noticeable than the two, because of his platinum hair and his cold gray stare.'

'Oh, that guy?' Damon said.

'What guy?'

'The guy in silver tie, he was with a girl in blue the girl with frizzy dark brown hair and honey-amber eyes.' Damon said thoughtfully as he remembered. 'I heard him call the girl in blue 'Myonie' or something, I think it's a nickname of sort.'

Stefan nodded at the statement gesturing that he understood. 'I heard the girls called the guy Drake.'

'Drake, Myonie and mystery girl, what does mystery girl look like?' Damon asked.

'She's wearing a corset type of cocktail dress, jet black hair and emerald green eyes.' Stefan utter. 'One thing that caught my attention is that almost invisible lightning scar on her forehead.'

'Hmm.. What about them again that we should worry?' Damon questioned.

Stefan's green orbs looked at Damon's blue ones seriously and answered. 'They know about us.'

Flashback

Stefan is on the dance floor, alone. He looked up and saw Katherine walking down the stairs a long distance away the suddenly she was behind him.

'Dance with me.' Katherine requested.

'No.' Stefan immediately rebuked.

'Fine then tell me who I should kill. Him? Hmm, she looks delicious.' Katherine fakely sighed and said as she ate a strawberry, Stefan offered her his arm.

She then followed him and they dance.

As the two of them silently dancing, Stefan unconsciously observed his surrounding then turned his attention who walked towards a couple, she was wearing a corset type of cocktail dress her jet black hair was pulled back in a neat braid.

She glanced at Stefan's and Katherine's direction and pouted lightly.

She then turned to the couple. 'Oh, great now vampires.'

The couple glanced at her and continue watching us when I noticed it, the guy in tux, silver tie and has platinum blonde hair spoke to the girl in white. 'They look pretty harmless to me.'

'But they are dangerous, Drake!' The other girl who has brown hair and in blue satin china dress as she fully turned her attention to 'Drake'.

'Chill, 'Mione. I think they won't make any problem. I come across on two nature witches.' the girl in white tried to calm the other girl.

'Drake' smirked at the girl in white. 'If I remember correctly they are quite judgy.'

'Confident too, I might add.' the girl in white teased 'Drake'. 'Kind of like you Draky.'

Stefan heard the guy groaned but didn't say anything then his attention turned back to Katherine when she tried to make conversation with Stefan.

'So, you're telling me that these three people does not only know about us but also the witches?' Damon confirmed.

Stefan was about to answer when Damon spoke up again.

'Wait, you said those three said two?' Damon asked.

'Huh?' Stefan said trying to formulate what Damon is getting at.

'You said that there were two witches when you heard those three's conversation!' Damon exclaimed.

Stefan thought for a while then started to realize that fact. 'T-that's true-'

Stefan stopped as they heard Katherine and Caroline coming upstairs.

'Let's think about it later.' Damon instructed. 'We got a bitch to kill.'

Stefan agreed but he can't take off this tugging feeling that something will go wrong.

Hermione Granger

Estelle and Draco went to retrieve the body of that poor girl who was killed in the middle of the dance floor when that brunette vampire snapped her spine and was thrown in the trunk of the other vampire. It seemed to the three of us that the poor girl is a collateral damage on whatever the two vampires is talking about.

I stayed behind to see whether those two would do something not favorable in our eyes again a stop them before there would be any damage. I went outside to the back of the mansion where you could see the entrance of the forest.

There were only few people the most who stand out is those three people who was talking heatedly and seemed into argument. I observe them first, the guy who was beside a dark skinned girl seemed to look annoyed, and the dark skinned girl was trying to explain something to the other girl who is a brunette.

"This girl looked familiar." I thought.

I stared at her intensely and was surprised when I remembered where I knew her. I approached her and grabbed her arm. When I saw her face, I saw the brown doe eyes that I saw to that woman who was dressed in black mask and cocktail, without thinking I spoke up.

'Why did you kill the girl?' I asked her.

She looked at me in confused and surprised look. 'W-what girl?'

"Don't play dumb, I saw you kill her.' I muttered angrily.

The guy she was having an argument with got a hold on my shoulder and tried to distance myself to the brunette. 'Let her go.'

'That I cannot do, I maybe haven't seen her face but I remember her physique and the color of her eyes.' I sternly replied.

The dark skinned girl held my arm. 'Let her go or I'll hurt you.'

I scoffed, 'Your puny Wiccan magic cannot hurt me especially when you are blatantly amateur one.'

'W-wiccan?' the Wiccan stuttered.

'Oh Merlin, not only she's an amateur she's particularly ignorant as well.' I muttered to myself.

'Look, let's talk this out okay? When you said Elena killed someone she didn't do it.' The guy said.

I glared at him. 'Don't make me look like some daft, I know what I saw.'

'I'm a doppelganger!' 'Elena' exclaimed. 'The woman you saw killing someone was probably Katherine my doppelganger!'

I loosened my grip but I didn't let her arm go. 'A doppelganger?'

'Yes, a doppelganger a person who looks ex-' the dark skinned girl said but I cut her off.

'A person who looks exactly like you, physical wise.' I continued. 'Blimey, not only Vampires and Wiccans, there's doppelgangers as well.'

'Excuse me can you let go of me?' Elena said.

I cut off to my thoughts, 'Oh, yes.'

Elena and the dark skinned girl sat at the nearest bench, the guy stood beside me watching me warily.

I broke the tension. 'Forgive my manners, normally I wouldn't be such an arse towards people, that's Draco's job, but I can't let it pass when I saw someone murdered without remorse.'

'I understand.' Elena said.

'By the way, my name is Hermione, Hermione Riddle.' I introduced myself. 'My siblings and I just moved here from England.'

'Oh, I'm Elena Gilbert, this is my brother Jeremy and my best friend Bonnie Bennett.' Elena said.

'Oh, you're from the line of one of the most powerful Salem witches. I've read about the Wiccan family line, Bennett witches has the most interesting history far back from ancient Greece.' I babbled.

'Wiccans?' Jeremy asked.

'Yes, Wiccans, female nature witches.' I said absent-mindedly.

'There are other kind of witches out there?' Bonnie asked.

'Yes, there are the wand-wielders, sorceress, enchantress, necromanseuse and etc. but they are on the same branch of magic you see just different source of power.' I explained. 'You know what, I could teach you more if you'd like we have lots of grimoires you could read in our house.'

Bonnie's eyes looked interested. 'I will.'

'So back to the topic at hand, tell me about this Katherine.' I said.

(Author's P. O. V.)

Katherine was dragging Caroline upstairs.

'Why do you keep dragging me into this? I don't want any part of it.' Caroline protested.

'Shut up!' Katherine growled at her. 'Which room is it?''It's that one.' Caroline said pointing at an empty room.

Katherine walked into the room and looked back to Caroline.

'Where is she?' the brunette vampire asked.

'I did it.' Caroline laughed at her. 'I really didn't think that I'd be able to fool you but I did it.'

Katherine used her vampire speed to Caroline but was stopped at the threshold of the room.

'What the...?' Katherine muttered angrily then saw Stefan making appearance. 'Stefan?'

He too was inside the room, he greeted her. 'Hello Katherine.'

Then not a millisecond later Caroline said. 'Goodbye Katherine.'

Then the blonde vampire flashed away.

'You don't really think that you can kill me with that now, do you?' Katherine smugly asked rhetorically as she stared at the stake on Stefan's hand.

'No, but he can.' Stefan looking at the closet where Damon was hidden.

Damon came out of the closet and shot Katherine with the air-compressed stake gun he possessed. The stake have gone behind Katherine's back but unbeknownst to the century old vampires that at the same time Elena screamed.

'What's happening?' Jeremy screamed.

"I-I don't know!' Bonnie said obviously panicked.

Hermione looked concerned then she realized something. 'Make them stop, Katherine is linked to Elena. Hurry!'

Jeremy did what he was told and sprinted to Stefan and Damon as fast as a human can.

xoxo

Stefan and Damon were fighting off Katherine, she tried to stake Damon but Stefan caught her by behind and the two of them fell at the floor and Stefan strangled her. She couldn't so Damon took the opportunity to kill Katherine with a stake.

When he was about to stab her with it Jeremy came in.

'Stop! You're hurting Elena! Everything you doing to her is hurting Elena.' He screamed lightly.

Damon stopped, he looked surprised and so is Stefan.

Katherine grinned at them. 'You think you two are the only ones with a witch on your side? Wrong and something tells me that my witch is better than your witch.'

She takes the stake from Damon's hands.

'Jeremy, go check on Elena. Make sure she's okay. Go!' Stefan told Jeremy.

Jeremy nodded and rushed back to the three girls.

'Let's all make sure poor Elena is okay. Just a little bit more pressure.' Katherine said as she cuts her hand with the stake.

xoxo

Elena screamed in pain. 'Bonnie, it hurts.' She cried.

'I can't break the spell, Elena.' Bonnie said as she felt helpless then turned to Hermione. 'Can you break it?'

'I'm sorry I can't, but I don't have your Wiccan power but I know a spell that can ease the pain.' Hermione told Bonnie.

Elena groaned in pain as her tears flow down her face.

'Relax Elena, Bonnie and I could help you, you need to calm down, okay?' Hermione said as she took Elena's right hand turned to Bonnie. 'Take my hand Bonnie and take Elena's left, follow my lead. Ascinda.. mulaf.. hinto.. Ascinda.. mulaf.. hinto..'

Bonnie followed Hermione's lead, channels her power to Elena and closed her eyes for concentration. 'Ascinda, mulaf, hinto, ascinda..'

xoxo

Stefan took the stake and threw it on the floor, but it didn't stop Katherine she took it again and tries to drive it to her stomach.

'This is really going to hurt.' Katherine said

'Wait' Damon cried.

Katherine stopped, casually walked to the couch and took a sit. 'Okay. So, how about that moonstone?'

Draco Malfoy

'Can you please tell me why the bloody hell we carried that dead body to your car in tux and cocktails?' Estelle complained. 'For Merlin's sake I'm wearing high heels!'

I rolled my eyes at her and try not to say any smart retort or it will only make it worse.

When we reach back to the estate we looked for Hermione seeing her with two people. A dark skinned girl, the Wiccan and a brunette.

Hermione and a dark skinned girl was trying to comfort the brunette in casual clothing.

'What happened 'Mione?' Estelle asked.

The four of them looked up in our direction.

'Estelle, Draco, did you finish it?' Hermione asked.

'Yes we did, but we could've finish earlier when a certain someone stopped complaining.' I said.

'Don't be an arse Drake.' Estelle said. 'What happened to her?'

'She was linked to a vampire that we are trying to kill.' The dark skinned girl answered.

'You didn't un-link her?' Estelle and I chorused.

'I can't, I don't have my wand.' Hermione explained. 'Left it at home. Oh this is Bonnie and Elena.'

I nodded at the dark skinned girl and didn't bother to the brunette because she looked so focused on not trying to die.

'What are you now doing?' Estelle asked.

'We are trying to ease the pain until she's un-linked.' Bonnie said.

'Oh, here channel my powers my magic is much powerful than 'Mione with or without a wand.' Estelle offered.

Bonnie looked skeptically at Estelle.

'No, she's not being cocky.' I said to her making Bonnie look at me. 'You should just do what she says we'll explain later.'

Then a guy neared us.

'Are you okay?' The guy said.

'Are they?' Elena said as she spoke for the first time.

'They're stuck in there with her.' The guy said. 'Who are you two?'

'She's Estelle and I'm Draco, you're?' I said introducing ourselves.

'Jeremy.' He said the he turned to Hermione. 'You were right; Katherine had probably asked a witch link Elena to her.'

Estelle looked thoughtful for a moment then she looked at me. 'It's probably her.'

'Oh, the other one.' I said.

'Who?' Bonnie asked.

'You know her, you even asked her if you knew her.' Estelle said.

Bonnie looked up in realization. 'The girl I saw, the one inside! Stay with her, keep pressure on her shoulder!'

'Where are you going?' Jeremy asked.

'There's another witch here, I'm going to find her!' Bonnie exclaimed as she left the five of us.

Estelle looked at Elena and said. 'Will you be alright here? The three of needs to talk privately.'

'I'm going to be fine, Jeremy will help.' She choked.

Estelle nodded and moved away Jeremy taking her place. We moved a safe distance away from the two of them.

Hermione then turned to us. 'What happened?'

'We manage to move the girl's body to the car.' Estelle told Hermione.

'What about them what happened?' I asked.

Hermione explained the things that Elena, Jeremy and Bonnie told her and what happened when we were busy.

'I guess we should always bring our wands now.' I said.

'Agreed.' Hermione nodded.

'But there is a rule, then wand will not be used to harm anyone.' Estelle added.

Hermione and I agreed. We discussed a few things and waited for Bonnie to come back, when she came back we moved back to Elena and Jeremy.

Bonnie told us that the spell was lifted and Elena was un-linked to Katherine so the five of us said our goodbyes.

When we reached home, the girls changed out of their clothes while I removed my tux and rolled up my sleeves.

'So are we going to dig a grave magically or manually?' I asked.

'Magically.' The two answered simultaneously.

'I'm too tired to move.' Estelle said.

'True, a lot of things happened today.' Hermione added.

I shrugged and grabbed my wand. 'I'll do the honors.'

'Yes please do.' Hermione said.

I started casting spells at the dirt beneath our feet. 'By the way when will be the Floo be connected?'

'I think they said the day after tomorrow.' Estelle said.

'Ah.' I muttered then when I finished I hid my wand. 'Done.'

'Thank Merlin it's done.' Estelle exclaimed. 'Let's sleep. Good night 'Mione, Dray.'

'Good night 'Stelle.' Hermione replied. 'Good night Drake.'

'Good night.' I said.

With that our night ended.
