This is going to be a short chapter. It was quite interesting writing this as I had written the third chapter before this. I have never written out of order before but I suppose this story is a bit of a special case. To me, Hermione and Draco were better opposites and had more chemistry. Hmmm opposites do attract.

Draco Divine and Hermione Hell

Chapter Two

"You're an idiot." Hermione said simply as she roughly rolled her eyes.

"It is a wish, it should be granted." Draco muttered through his clenched teeth. Keep calm, keep calm, he repeated to himself. He licked his lips and shot a look at Hermione who seemed at ease.

"No, it is a foolish wish. No way on Earth would I grant that!" Hermione grinned at the hilarity of the situation. Draco was getting desperate. He wished for a bloody rock. A ROCK for goodness sakes.

Draco was fuming now, Hermione noticed that the way he looked at her spoke of his desires to strangle her. He resisted and instead took out his anger on another helpless tombstone.

"You're killing that poor tombstone! Humph. Well it is a graveyard isn't it?" Hermione smiled at her own pun.

"A rock. A wish! What is the difference!" Draco roared, adding more bright pink scars on his knuckles.

"A ton. If you haven't noticed I have certain authority on what wish you can and cannot make. If you weren't so entertaining I would have given you that rock ages ago. I don't want you to waste your wish, Draco. Actually use it for something beneficial and not malicious!" Hermione uttered sternly.

"Beneficial? For whom exactly angel! Yourself! Those assholes upstairs! Come on, say it! It's true isn't it! You're using ME for you OWN foolishness! Conspirators!" Draco yelled in triumphas thoughspilling open a vicious plot.

Hermione yawned sheepishly. "Congratulations for coming up with the brilliant conclusion but you're completely wrong. And stop calling me a conspirator! If you want to point the blame at someone, then point at yourself. I am only performing my duty for the good of everyone and not myself."

Draco grinned from ear to ear. "That's the most lies and sarcasm I've heard all day and look at who I'm with everyday! You're a conspirator and a liar. Duty? What duty shalt that be! Oh, perhaps sitting on your humble clouds day in and day out, gossiping, screwing or whatever you angels are doing up there! What obligation do you have towards Earth or anyone else that isn't an angel! With the many many angels I've seen down here it is damn obvious!"

Hermione froze. She wanted to scream that it was all lies but she couldn't bring herself to do so. That would be lying... Hermione gave him a remorsefulface and adamantly nodded her head. "It's true..." She sniffed.

Draco's jaw dropped. His eyes were fixed on Hermione's nodding head. However the feeling he felt was not ofsatisfaction that he would have expected. It was cold, one of realizing the harsh truth. The almighty angels honestly didn't give a damn about anything else below their clouds. Draco had unconsciously known forever but it was surely a long fall down for Hermione. Fall down indeed.

Both were silent for a long while, studying the dirt. Draco thought of giving her a smug look but he knew that she would do that thing she did when she got sad...

"I wish for full authority over the cosmos." Draco said finally.

"Impossible. Do you honestly think I have that kind of power! Besides I wouldn't grant that anyway." Hermione uttered angrily.

Draco took a deep intake of breath. "I wish for full authority over Earth."

Hermione snorted. "Aren't you a vigilant one? No, again I can'tand or couldn'tgrant that."

"I'm not in anyway vigilant. I don't care enough." Draco admitted easily.

"Vigilance would be beneficial so of course you're against it!" Hermione cried, throwing herself to the ground in the huff.

"I never said I was against vigilantism. You honestly think vigilantism is beneficial?" Draco's eyes widened and he crossed his arms.

"It can be. You have no structure down here. Vigilantism can be a revolution of the people or kind. Vigilantism can be purification of evil beings." Hermione listed, her eyes with Draco's.

"It can also be tyranny. Ever think of that? That little revolution of your's turns into tyranny and the people still get screwed over. And didn't you decide that there has to be a balance of good and evil?" Draco said.

"There is never a perfect balance, surely even you know that. It is always slanting one way or the other depending on trends. Vigilantism can be used as a device to give the good side a helping hand." Hermione said, finally breaking the trance with Draco and fixed her eyes on the clear blue sky.

"Vigilantism is not defined as an act of good. And theformyou're speaking of leads the people into division but they all eventually become indifferent of murder of men. Whether good or evil, men are always men and murder is always murder." Draco had placed his attention to a snail that was slowly oozing itself into disappearance. He flicked it with his hand and caused Hermione to glare at him. She raised her hand and slowly set the snail downgently.

"You're so malicious!" Hermione affirmed.

Draco proudly shrugged. "It comes with the territory. You can't take the malice out of a demon." He declared.

"But you have benevolence. I've seen it before! I'm not sure whether or not you are better than the other demons or worse but you still have compassion. And that was the Yin and Yang I was talking about."

"Oh you mean that day when I regrettably "saved" you?" Draco spoke with blatant sarcasm.

"Well I didn't simply FALL into your arms!" Hermione snapped. "Cover up your good act all you wish. Just remember that I'm still here and waiting for your wish."

"I'm still waiting for you to leave!" Draco threw himself to his feet and paced while muttering curses under his breath. What had he done to deserve such an annoyance! It what you get for doing something good!

Draco shut his eyes andpondered for a moment. He wished he didn't have to do it but he didn't want these weekly visits to turn into normal routine. He signed deeply and slowlyturned back to Hermione. He already hated himself for doing it.

"Fine, I'll work with you."

"You'll cooperate! Finally! But...why?" Hermione expressed unbelievingly.

"I want you to leave me alone but you're stubborn. I'll make some pathetic wish that you'll comply with and this contract or whatever will be fulfilled and I'm free for good." Draco spoke quickly.

"An unexpected revelation! They do exist! Fine then we shall go over the rules. Sit." Hermione commanded. It took Draco a second to swallow his pride. He sat but with all restrains so that he wouldn't strangle or harm the angel, "Alright. This will take all day." She sighed heavily thenbegan to list out Draco's faults in wish making.

The rules were clear. No malice. No sarcasm. Hermione had taken an extra long time to explain because Draco continued to argue his defense but eventually gave in. They spent sometime sitting in a nearby patch of grass in complete silence while Draco thought of the perfect wish. Even with his frustrations and lack of patiencehewasdetermined to rattle his brain on end until he made a wish that even the most moderate of angels could comply with.
See! See! I wasn't lying when I said it was going to be short. It was though a bit of a transitional chapter.

Thank for taking the time to read. You have no idea how much I appreciate it!

Signed. Out. Rynn.
