"I didn't know you were the type to wear jewelry."
"Uh... Um... I-I can... uh..." I struggled. I didn't know why it was so hard to tell her why I had it. Instead I blurted out a question.
"How did you find it?"
"We were playing spin the bottle while you were in the shower. Ginny spun it and it landed on me. She decides that I should go through your bag and show them the first thing that I picked up, without looking."
"Please tell me you didn't show them?" I asked. I really didn't want them to know about that. Hermione, I was okay with. Wait. Hermione I was okay with? When did that happen? Never mind.
"Of course not." she chuckled, shaking her head. I sighed in relief because that would have been very embarrassing. "It was the first thing that I picked though. I was going to show them but then I realized there was probably a good reason as to why no one knew about it so I slipped it into my jacket sleeve and showed them something else."
"What did you show them?"
"Just some random book. At least that's what they think but it is a good book. Romeo and Juliet." she sighed.
"Thanks for not showing them the necklace." I whispered. She just nodded and smiled. "Why aren't you giving me the necklace?" I asked.
I reached for it but she yanked it just out of reach. I grabbed at hers and yanked it off. She gasped and tried in vain to grab it. "Nuh-uh. Not until you give me mine back."
"I won't give your's back unless I get mine."
I laid down and refused to get up until I got the necklace and still wouldn't give hers back.
"How am I supposed to get you off of this bed?" she asked. I just raised and eyebrow and chuckled.
"You'll have to figure it out." She grabbed some of my things and threw them around and when that didn't work she tried forcing me off but I still wouldn't budge. I just chuckled as she continued to find a way to get me off.
Finally she grabbed a candy, I really do enjoy, and taunted me with it which did distract me for a bit. I shook my head and came back to my senses. People have used the candy tactic on me one too many times for me to fall for it again.
Seeing as I wouldn't budge she grabbed the necklace and walked over to the toilet. "I will flush it."
"Don't you dare." I said. I bolted upright and grabbed her waist, pulling her back into the bed. She landed on top of me and I let out a huge oompf. Then she rolled over, laughing.
"Fine at the same time. Agreed?"
"Agreed."
We both held out parts of our necklace and grabbed ours. An image of burning light and a few figures flashed across my vision. I gasped as I pulled my hand back to see that Hermione did too. "Did you see?" I asked.
"So I'm not the only one."
"What was that?" I asked.
"I don't know."
"Do you want to find out?" I asked. She nodded and carefully, we both held onto both necklaces.
My mom and some other woman, who I guessed was someone related to Hermione, sat and talked on a bench in the winter as the snow fell. "I am so happy. Lucius is finally getting along with Draco. It's been a long time since that has happened." mom said.
"I know. It's cute actually. And Hermione... oh god, her parents don't know that she's a witch yet but she is already extremely talented." the other woman said.
"Oh Rose, look at how cute they are together. They are so cute." mom said. Both women watched as Hermione and I ran around throwing snowballs at each other as Lucius tried to avoid getting run over by little children.
I heard Hermione gasp. I didn't blame her for it either. Who knew that our families were actually very close once.
The scene changed and now we were watching as Rose and mom talked about us in our first year of Hogwarts. We were so smart and all that jazz. It still struck me as odd that they were talking about us like we were still close. Maybe they were but Hermione and I both had forgotten we had known each other before then.
Then the scene changed again. McGonagall and Dumbledore discussing what the sorting hat had said. "I know what it had said Albus but what does it mean?" McGonagall asked.
"I'm sorry could you repeat what it said, my memory isn't as clear as it used to be." Albus asked.
"It said: Doomed as Foes from the start, close they are at heart,the smart one and the second, will be the last ones beckoned, favorites they shall be, and bet for them, you'll win, you'll see, eight years at Hogwarts and then they'll realize, their feelings did nothing but rise."
"Ah... That is quite strange. The hat never says anything like that. In a prophecy no less."
"That's what I've been trying to figure out." McGonagall said. They both continued walking and strode in silence before McGonagall realized something.
"It said eight years at Hogwarts... students only serve a seven year term." she said.
"Hmmm." Dumbledore hummed, deep in thought. "Perhaps it could me..." he started but was cut off by McGonagall telling him to be quite.
They silently listened into the conversation between Rose and mom and heard that it was about Hermione and I. Then suddenly the sorting hat appeared before them and said, "It's them... you'll see." Then it disappeared, leaving a very stunned couple of teachers behind.
After shaking her head McGonagall looked at Dumbledore doubtfully. "I highly doubt that the hat could be implying that Hermione and Draco would make a perfect couple." she whispered.
"Maybe they could be, I mean they were immediately enemies, her being muggle born and him being pureblood. She was a Gryffindor and he was a Slytherin. She was friends with Harry and Ron and he despised them. He was friends with Crabbe and Goyle and she despised them. They literally were doomed as foes since they met. But Hermione was the smartest student in school and Draco was the second."
"Oh and don't get me started on how they react when the other walks in. They always smile when the other walks in and frowns when the look upset. They effect each other's moods greatly without trying to or even knowing that they are. They always play it off in some way though as though nothing was wrong or they were smiling about a joke or something like that." McGonagall said.
"I suppose the sorting hat may be right. Should there ever be a bet, we will bet that they will get together eventually." Dumbledore said and McGonagall nodded in agreement.
They made a bet and sure enough all of the other teachers disagreed with them. No one believed we would ever get together but Dumbledore and McGonagall knew they would win.
Suddenly they were both at the jewelry shop. Dumbledore asked why they were there and McGonagall just simply stated that she wanted to give something to Rose and Narcissa. She had the Jeweler make a Silver necklace with a few diamonds above the silver curl holding a ruby heart. This one was for Narcissa. Then she asked the Jeweler to make a necklace exactly the same to the previous but make it a gold necklace with an emerald instead. This one would go to Rose.
She and Dumbledore met Narcissa and Rose and the two women were both really surprised to find them there. When Narcissa asked why they were receiving these necklaces McGonagall replied. " Well your children or family members, Draco and Hermione, are the brightest kids in the whole school and they are only first years. We decided that the people closest to them, the magical side of them, should get a reward. If it wasn't for you two then they wouldn't be up there in the rankings."
Narcissa and Rose took the necklaces and decided to give them to them. It was all them for getting those rankings so they deserved it. Neither of them told them that they came from Dumbledore and McGonagall.
Soon afterwards Lucius became a Death Eater and Narcissa realized it was the perfect time to give it to Draco. She knew he would take it then. And he did. Rose immediately gave it to Hermione and died the same day Hermione promised to never take it off, which so happened to be the same day Draco received his necklace.
Hermione and I pulled our hands back and stared at each other for a long time.
"That was uh... quite a trip. And history." I mumbled.
"Yeah... it was." she replied. There was something in her eyes but I couldn't place what it was. I suddenly wondered if she saw flashes like I did when I picked up her necklace. And if so... what did she see?
"Remind me that I wanted to ask you something when I wake up." we both said. Then we both started laughing because of our random sync all of a sudden. It was quite funny.
Once we settled down, I turned off the light.
"Goodnight Draco." she said before she started snoring lightly.
"Goodnight Hermione." I whispered.
Then I laid back, closed my eyes, and drifted to sleep.
