Chapter10

It had been a month since the second piece was stolen and Hermione and her friends still hadn't found anything about the last piece. Hermione was starting to get annoyed , she needed to stop whoever it was from getting that last piece. It wasn't just for her but for the whole magical world.

One day While Hermione and Fleur were sitting by the lake enjoying each other's company Philippe ran up to them and shattered their peace . "I've found it" he said breathlessly.

Hermione immediately shot up and looked at her friend "Where?" she asked quickly.

"My brother sent me a very old book and Beauxbatons and it was in there. It was buried in a chamber when the school was built. There's a passage way leading to it" he replied more calmly now that he had got his breath back.

"Where did he get this book?" Fleur asked not believing the whole secret chamber thing

"He got it form an old ruin that was used back in the day as a home for the architect and founders of the school." Philippe replied. Hermione didn't speak for a few moments instead she thought about what they should do.

"Very well we go down to that chamber tonight" she said determination in her voice she was hopping that they would get there first before their enemy did. However she had a horrible feeling it wouldn't be that easy.

That night Hermione, Fleur, Abril and Philippe snuck out of their dorms and headed for the passage way. It was hidden behind an old book case at the far end of the third floor corridor. As they walked down the corridor they made sure they weren't followed, there was no need for anyone else to get involved. Hermione and her friends reached the book case but found it ,to their horror, already open. It had had several spells placed on it but they had all been broken. It was clear their enemy had got their first. Hermione didn't care she was going to stop them no matter what.

"Now what" Abril whispered.

"Wands out, we're going in" Hermione replied as she walked through the book case and into a passage way. It was dark and barely light the friends cast 'Lumos' charms so they could see where they were going. As they continued they found the remains of several guard dogs all of which had been brutally killed. On one hand it was good as they didn't have to fight but on the other hand it meant that whoever was trying to steal the crystal was far ahead of them. After half an hour of walking they finally entered the chamber and were faced with someone they didn't expect.

It was Theodore the coach driver as they entered the chamber he fired off several spells all for which narrowly missed the group of friends. They all dived behind a few columns to take cover "I knew you would come Granger. I knew you would try to stop me but you have failed" he said as he lifted up the three shards of the star crystal "And now I will unleash the star crystal and bring destruction to the magical world and more specially your family." He said as he muttered a spell and the pieces formed. Soon the room as filed with a ominous red light. The star crystal had been formed. It glowed blood red and hovered above the room.

"Finally after ten thousand years I am free" it spoke he voice cold and cruel "Who do I have to thank" it asked.

"It was I who freed you. Now please grant me the power to bring this world to its knees" he said as he stepped in front of it.

The crystal laughed "Puny human. Why would I give you the power you Are weak" it said as it shot out a beam of red light striking Theodore and Killing him dead. Hermione watched in horror as the crystal took form and killed Theodore. How where they supposed to stop that. Just then Hermione noticed Fleur being picked up and dragged towards the crystal by an invisible hand.

"Yes you are strong enough" The crystal said before it engulfed Fleur. Hermione shielded her eyes as the light crew intense. But then it vanished and there stood Fleur her skin was pale and her eyes glowed red she had dark lips and a black tight dress on.

Hermione stepped out and looked at her lover "Fleur?" she asked.

Fleur started to laugh evilly "No not as you know her. Now I am her and she is me" Fleur said but the voice was not hers it was strange to Hermione ear. But then out of nowhere Fleur snarled "You will not stop me again" she said she shot a spell at Hermione, Hermione ducked and rolled to her friends.

"How are we going to stop it?" she asked as several more spells hit the pillar and it started to break. The friends all looked at each other and then ran spate ways firing off spells as they went. The spells were easily blocked by Fleur, no not Fleur the creature that had taken her form.

The form laughed evilly as it shot a spell that slammed into Abril and sent her flying back up against the wall. She hit the wall with a loud crack and fell to the floor unconscious Hermione saw this and felt a rage build in her before firing another spell this time it hit but then Hermione heard Fleur, the real fleur cry out in pain. The next thing she knew Philippe was yelling as he crashed down to the floor wrapped in chains that began to tighten around him.

"You cannot stop me not without destroying your precious fleur" the figure mocked as it drew closer and fired a powerful spell off, but then it stopped as it saw Hermione starting to glow, glow with a bright white light that seemed to smother the whole room,.

"I will stop you" she said her tone calm yet intimidating "For I am Hermione Jane Granger, heir to the granger family, brightest witch of my age" she said her tone still calm "and the thousand master" She said as she fired off a stream of white light. The figure shot back a red stream and the streams hit. Magic crackled off and impacted all over the room. The ground began to shake and hum. Hermione walked forward towards the weakening figure. The power that Hermione gave off startled Philippe who had been desperately trying to get free of the chains "Not to mention the intended of Fleur Delacour" she said as she finally reaching the figure who now had barley the strength to sit up.

Hermione's eyes softened as he drew near "Come back to me Fleur" she said as she drew closer.

"No, NOO" the figure yelled but soon she was muted by Hermione lips on hers the lips were soft and warm, they sent a jolt of warm power straight through Fleur the star crystal began to lose power before it was ejected form Fleur and smashed into thousands of pieces as it hit the back of the room.

It was at that point that the teaching staff who had felt the shaking arrived. They all stood stunned at what they had seen, they had just witnessed the true power of the thousand master and the destruction of the star crystal. Professor Shinx saw the unconscious Abril and ran over to her, helping her up and looking her over. This didn't surprise the staff as they had found out that he was Abril's god father and that he was her backer. He would of told her soon enough.

Meanwhile the other staff watched as Hermione carried an unconscious Fleur towards them "I saved her" she said as he passed Fleur to a teacher. Hermione then smiled and collapsed into her headmistresses arms "That you did, Hermione that you did" she said softly.

14 days later

Hermione awoke two weeks alter to the sight of a smiling Fleur, she was holding her hand tightly "I guess its official now" she said weakly. Fleur just smiled and nodded.

"What happened?" Hermione asked groggily.

"You defeated zthe star crystal, saved Miss Delacour and the magical world." Madam Maxime said, she was standing at the other side of the bed, behind Abril, Philippe and Gabrielle.

"How did I get here?" Hermione asked.

"You used up all of your magical energy fighting the star crystal and you have been unconscious for two weeks. You will make a full recovery however, if you rest up well" The head mistress replied.

"It's a good thing we had a holiday planned then isn't it" Hermione said with a small smile.

The star crystal had been destroyed and the world had been saved. However Hermione had learnt that she was destined to become the most powerful magical being in history. But for now she didn't care about the future she only cared for the present. She deserved a rest and she was going to make sure she got one.
