Chapter 7: Plan?

| D's POV |

"So tell me Potter," I drawled after listening to him explain everything, "What are we supposed to do in the meantime?"

Harry shrugged his shoulders. "Anything to pass the time. I won't boss you around with that stuff."

"Fair enough," I stretched my arms and sighed. "Non-human entities, huh? Never knew there were so many of us still alive honestly."

"You aren't human too?"

I scoffed and gestured to myself. "I am far too good looking to be a mere human being. Of course I'm not."

He rolled his eyes. "I don't care for such superficial traits. What are you then? Besides an egotistical prick?"

"Hah. Hilarious," I retorted dryly, "I'm an elf."

"Where's your ears?"

"Hidden," I replied, "I don't want the extra attention from the public. I mean, I already do from my looks alone."

"Oh just shut up, will you?" Harry frowned. "I'm a wizard."

"Like you can do all of that fantastical abracadabra magic for real?"

"Yes."

I whistled. "So you're a real life version of Gandalf. That's kind of cool."

"i guess so," Harry smiled, "it definitely has its perks. Don't you elves also have magical properties?"

"Not really... at least, I was never told so," I replied, "is there a way to test it?"

"Maybe. Honestly, I don't know a whole lot either. I was raised up by human foster parents."

"Basically we're both a bit oblivious to magic then," I muttered, "that's great."

"I-I'm sure Tom Riddle knows more about it!"

"Why would a grim reaper know anything about magic?"

"I don't know but we ought to try at least."

"I suppose. Here's hoping your assumption is correct, Potter."

"How much longer until we reach America?"

"Approximately two more hours. We'll be there before you know it," Tom reassured me as he adjusted his grip holding me to him as he flew through strong currents of wind.

"Okay. What is the plan once we get there?"

"I've already sent an emergency signal to the American zone magically," he explained, "they should all meet in New York City which is where we are heading to right now. The next stop will be Canada. Afterwards we will regroup with everyone in London. Hopefully we have enough members to defeat the enemy."

"You keep talking about the enemy but you never delve deeper about it. Why?"

"I'll answer that in front of everyone in London. It is a very complicated matter to discuss; I'd rather do so where it is most effective, my apologies."

"I see. Fair enough, I guess."

"Do not worry. I believe we will be able to pull through," he said confidently.

I nodded and didn't pry any further. I had a feeling I wouldn't reach many conclusions out of him.

"I promised to protect you and I do not intend to break that. You have only lived for so long, it'd be unfair for your life to end now," Tom added with a softer tone, "there is still much to do and the world needs you."

"What?"

"Your blood has many special properties. You could potentially become the Queen of Earth if you desire to. You are linked to every single human being on this planet and with that power... you have stuff under your sleeve that has been buried deep down with every one of your ancestors. You need to rekindle your original you and restore it."

"How?"

"Reconnect with a past lover."

I blushed and felt the blood rush to my cheeks as I sputtered out, "W-w-what?!"

"You heard me the first time."

"But... what?"

"You have a choice between fine specimen such as myself and Blaise. Not so much of a problem."

"Still! What exactly do you mean by reconnect, huh?"

"Intercourse. Sex. You know, the like," Tom answered casually and somehow my face turned even redder, "also, not a bad idea. I've been told I'm the best by many."

I nervously laughed. "Real lovely."

"Yes it is. I think you would enjoy it, Hermione," he whispered into my ear and it tingled as his warm breath caressed my skin, "you did before and I think you will now."

Definitely flirting with me. Ahhh, what do I do?!
