Chapter 7

Philipe P.O.V.

I awoke to a scream coming from the guest bedroom and ran in panic. I sped through the hallway and almost lost my footing when turning in the direction of the guest bedroom. I threw the door open and gasped at what I saw.

There on the bedroom floor was Hermione crouched in the corner holding a candle with a crazed expression on her freshly woken up face. She gasped as soon as I came into the room and dropped the candle in shock.

"Philipe, What are you doing here-" her eyes narrowed and she changed the tone of her question "What am I doing here?" I raised my hands in a mocking manner not in the mood for explaining or really just talking about the real situation happening. I saw her hand clenching as if she was about to "Don't you dare throw that Hermione! According to the aurors you fainted on the train and you weren't responding so they sent you over here. The dormitories weren't open until after supper so when you arrived you spent the night here." She noticeably relaxed.

"I missed you," she ran to me and threw herself into my arms for a hug "sorry for jumping to conclusions." He chuckled and nodded "Don't mention it," he got serious "ever." She looked confused so I clarified. "You can't really go up to your new D.A.D.A. professor embrace him and say you missed him." She tore away from my embrace with a renewed rigor. "Where's Gaby staying?" I saw her hair and chuckled heartily at her innocence "She is with the Weasley family they are watching her for me weekdays and weekends she visits." I paused and grew distracted when I saw the shiny bracelet on her wrist "Hermione I couldn't help but notice something yesterday, something rather peculiar." She looked on expectantly "Where did you get that bracelet?" she looked as if she finally remembered something important.

No P.O.V.

"Philipe I don't know what to do with this!" she grabbed at her hair in exasperation. "I woke up and found this beside my bed on the nightstand and assumed it was probably from my parents…" he urged her foreword with a lift of his eyebrows. "Never mind, I just can't get it off," she made a grand gesture towards the object "this bloody thing is bewitched!" he grimaced. He tried to find an explanation that did not sound as frightening to a sixteen year old. First he wanted to see what Fleur exactly did with it.

"What does it do exactly?" he asked in an indifferent manner. "Whenever a male touches me at all it burns, it doesn't exactly burn with the female population but it did with this one girl." He took in what she said and contemplated shrugging off the topic. The blonde ruled out telling her but just easing the pain a bit.

"Give me your wrist." The tall male saw the angry red marks on her delicate wrist and nodded in disappointment at the other blonde's actions. The brunette noticed a huge detail. "Why isn't it burning!?" he cursed in his head and came up with a 'reason'. "I don't know, maybe because I'm a flaming homosexual." She took that as a plausible reason and he almost died laughing at her gullibility, almost. He chanted the spell to numb the pain and remove the scarring from her wrist. "You're all good now Ms. Granger, now I do believe that it is time for me head to breakfast. Students enter at a later time, correct?" she nodded. "Well then I suggest you wash up and change into clean robes." She made a face and cracked a smile. "Yes mom." His grey ice eyes met her brown eyes. "You bet your derrière."

Time skip

The brunette found herself waiting at the bottom steps of the common room. of course waiting for her friends. The first to come down was Ginny who is a girl like Hermione and still got ready before the boys, they spent the next five minutes complaining about them. Ginny had questioned her if she was alright from yesterday. Ginny, being the only one to ask about her with Dumbledore, was worried about Hermione. The girls decided to go save their seats and for the boys to catch up with them. They spoke about unimportant things on the way to the great hall just as they were about to open the doors they heard a loud voice float across the hallway.

"Hermione, wait!"


Guys I'm so sorry! I haven't updated in a long time and there is no excuse, but I was recently motivated by looking through my reviews especially from the guest account Em. I really appreciate whatever feedback you guys have. I kind of just whipped this one up in a little bit so please forgive my sure mistakes in this seeing as I also have no beta. Enjoy and I'll be sure to update at least on a weekly basis.
