Chapter 6: ************* In Dumbledore's office

"Albus please tell me if my child is attending Hogwarts," said a very angry Servus Snape.

"Servus, of course any child of my professors is going to attend Hogwarts." Dumbledore said as a matter of factly.

"Albus it has all came back to me. Harmony had a child but I left the room before I knew who and what my child was. My memory has all came back and I know my child would be in their seventh year." he said sadly now.

"When the time is right you will know which child is yours." Dumbledore replied casually.

"It's your grandchild. Why don't you care about who it is?" He mumbled... ************* In care of magical creatures.

Hagrid came to class with a small box in his hand and a clipboard in his other hand.

cute little furry balls that wouldn't stop bouncing around. Apart from the fact that they were very dirty, they were cute, atleast to girls!

"I have to pair you up in partners. Would the two Heads please come." he said motioning to Hermione and Draco sitting in front of the class.

Hermione and Draco reluctantly walked up to where Hagrid was.

"I want you two to help out with these little creatures. Hermione read the pairs off on the list and Draco start passing them out," he said passing Hermione the clipboard and Draco the box of snuffables. When Hermione finished reading off the list everyone got with his or her partners. Most were angry about who they were partnered up with.

and yer partner will write a four-foot long essay on how they grew up and so on. I want you and yer partner to make out a schedule on how long each of you take care of the little critter." he said explaining the whole project. No one happy about it. Only some girls liked their cute little faces.

Draco turned to Hermione with a smirk and said:

"You have got to be kidding. I am going to have to work with a mud-blood. You better not mess this all up" he said with a smile.

"And how exactly do I work with an egotistical prat?" she asked Hagrid.

"Sorry 'Mione Dumbledore says we've got to stop house rivalries"

"This is all your fault Granger. You're the one who was complaining about it." Draco said, now getting angry.

"Oh shut up. At least you don't have to work with Pansy." She said pointing a finger towards Harry. Pansy was all over him and Harry kept pushing her of him. " Pansy get off me!"

Draco started laughing almost collapsing to the floor.

"At least found someone else to annoy." He said with relief.

"Well let's get started. Since we live in the same dorm this should be fairly easy." Hermione said taking charge of things.

"I ain't feeding it or bathing it. Even though he looks like he needs a good bath." He said making a face.

"You ain't getting out of this so easily Draco Malfoy." She said cracking up in silence. 'Ha! The little Draco is scared eh?'

"Ugh. I hate this class. Why do we always end up as partners?" he said in a whine *************** Later that day

Hermione really needed to talk to Dumbledore. She hadn't told him about her wandless magic yet. "Hello Grandfather." She said as she sat down in front of his desk. "Hullo" "My powers are developing. I can do wand less magic" she said cheerfully, getting down to business. "Oh really. Your mother couldn't do that but maybe your powers are developing quicker then hers." He said not really knowing where she could learn how to do that. "Just use your wand still. I don't want anybody getting suspicious. Everything will play out alright in the end" "Um--sure..." she said. After chatting about school works and Head Girl duties, she got up and left. *************** After Hermione left her Grandfathers office she was walking towards the library. In a dark corner stood one of the wizarding worlds evilest man besides he-who-must-not-be-named. "Hello mud-blood" Said the cold voice of none other then Lucious Malfoy. "Hello you evil bastard." Said Hermione now walking faster to her destination. Lucious pointed his wand at her retreating back and muttered a spell. Hermione spun around and fell to the ground. "What do you want from me?" she spat at him. "I want you to leave my son alone. Your nothing but filth." He spat back to her. "Well I am sorry you feel that way but I don't like your son. And I would rather die than hang out with your son" she said getting mad. She didn't even go after Draco. He was the one drooling over her. "That can be arranged. Crucio!" Hermione fell back down to the ground and started whimpering in pain. Draco knew something was wrong and he started walking towards the library. He had an odd feeling in the pit of his stomach that it was about Hermione. When he turned around a corner, he heard screaming. He took off in a fast paced run in the direction. He saw his father standing over a girl with brown, black, and read hair. Hermione! "Father!" he screamed with out any respect at his father. "Hello son. Your little mud-blood is getting what.." He was caught off guard when a white light surround Hermione and the curse he said to Hermione backfired and hit him. "What in the world?" said a Draco now looking like a bug with his eyes so wide. His father soon fell to the ground passed out cold. Draco picked up Hermione in his arms and started toward the direction of the infirmary. "What happened?" screamed Madame Pomfrey. "My father decided to pay a visit. He is still out in the hallway." "Would you please go and tell Professor Dumbledore?" "Yeah. She is going to be alright isn't she" "I don't know. It hit her pretty hard." Draco got up from where he was sitting and ran strait to the headmaster's office. "Professor. Hermione. now!" he said in one exasperated sentence. "Oh dear. Did poppy tell you if she is alright?" "No" The two of them ran back to the infirmary. Poppy kicked Draco out because he wouldn't leave Hermione's side. Dumbledore went to go get Snape, which left many, puzzled. 'Why did he get Snape?' Draco thought to himself. Madame Pomfery let Draco visit Hermione for awhile. He sat at her bedside and held her hand. She had been in coma since the incident. "Please be alright." He kept telling her over and over. When Dumbledore returned with Snape at his side he saw Draco sleeping with his head down beside his granddaughter. His eyes twinkled at the sight. "How is she doing?" he asked Madame Pomfrey. "I won't know until she wakes up, if she ever wakes up. Have you told her friends yet?" she questioned him. "No. How long as he been asleep?" he replied not caring about telling his friends. And if he DID tell Harry and Ron, who knows what they might do to Malfoys. "Maybe 20 minutes ago." Dumbledore walked over to where Draco lay and shook his shoulder a bit to get him up. "Would you go get Harry and Ron?" Change of mind. They don't need to be left of not knowing anything about their friend. "Yes sir" Draco got up and walked towards the Gryffindore common room. He knew the password since he was Head Boy. When he walked into the common room, a lot people gasped. "Where is Potter and Weasly?" He yelled into the scared little first and second years.. "You're not supposed to be in here!" snickered a 2nd year. "This is an emergency. Now, where are they!?" he screamed out loud. "Up in the 7th year's Boys Dormitory. Right up them stairs" said a boy pointing his finger towards the stair case. Draco ran up the stairs and spotted the two boys he was after. "Dumbledore wants you. It's Hermione." Harry and Ron got up and dashed to the infirmary. When they saw Hermione laying on one of the beds: "What happened to her?!" they both screamed. "There was an attack my Lucious Malfoy. She should of died but her heritage saved her if you will." "What do you mean?" they both asked confused "A white light encased her and Lucious's spell backfired. He passed out but in all of the commotion he escaped. Hermione is in a coma right now." Malfoy said out of breath. After taking 2 seconds of understanding what he had said, Ron screamed, " It's all your fault Malfoy!" "How is this my fault? I didn't attack her. I am the one who brought her here." He said bellowing in anger. "Your pride and hate for muggle-borns." said Harry, burning up. That snitch, how dare he say a lie and out Hermione's life in danger. "I care for Hermione as much as you do. I would never hurt her like this" it all came out before he could stop it. His hand went over his mouth when he finished.
