Last time
"Hey Blaise!" Hermione yelled down the hall to the retreating back of Zabini.
"What?" he replied without turning.
"Tell Malfoy to meet me in the Third floor corridor." With that she turned her back on everything she knew. Let the games begin, she thought.
HGBZ
Hermione paced the third floor corridor where the location of the Room of Requirement was before she made her final stride, Malfoy appeared at the end of the hall. "Alright Granger, what is it that you wanted to see me about?" Draco drawled with suspicion. Hermiones' smile faltered a bit, I shouldn't be surprised that he's a bit paranoid to be near me. It's not like I've given him a reason to trust me, atleast not after I turned him and Zabini into Pokémon. Hermione made her last stride in front the blank wall as a door appeared. She knew that Draco had seen this previously when they were in there fifth year, but for her it was different, here she had learned so many new things, like how to do defenses and how close her true friends really were. "Follow," she said in a bland voice, and entered the room. The room was sparsely decorated, only a couple of wing backed chairs, a coffee table, and a roaring fire; Hermione took the first chair and gestured to the other for him to sit in. Draco sat gracefully in the chair opposite of her, "Well Granger, what is it that you wanted to speak about?"
"Our parents."
In Gryffindor Common Room
Harry watched as Ron and Ginny sat whispering to each other, Ginny kept sliding him glimpses as they spoke. Harry was to occupied to really care; all he wanted to do was to try to figure out why Hermione would ever think about doing something like taking drugs. It wasn't like her, sure she has been acting weird lately, but no one can be serious all the time right? Harry looked up in time to see Ginny sauntering up to Harry in a very odd manner, making harry a bit nervous, "Hi Gin, You need something?" Harry asked. Ginny smiled and walked towards the entrance to the common room and waggled her finger at him to follow. Harry glanced at Ron, but he was immersed in a game of chess with Neville. Turning back to Ginny she was already at the entrance and was walking out. Harry rushed out after her, as he shut the Pink Lady's picture he was pulled aside and pinned against the wall by Ginny pressing her not-so impressive chest against him. "Hello Harry," She purred. "I was thinking that you and I should get to know each other a little more." Ginny leaned in seductively, Harry grabbed her shoulders and gently pushed her a bit away, "Gin, I don't think now is the time to for something like that. What If someone walked by and had seen us? I don't want a detention right now, besides I'm still having a hard time dealing with the news about Hermione. It's just too much right now." Ginny was startled that he refused her. I don't believe this! He refused me! Me! And he's worried about that bitch Hermione…this cant be happening. Ginny walked closer to Harry, "Harry, she's a waste to worry about, look what she did to us. She would be so cruel to us and still we trusted her, do you honestly still believe that she is your friend? Harry, I trust you, Ron trusts you, but Hermione trusts no one." Ginny gave him a sad smile and hugged him and kissed his cheek, "Don't worry Harry, everything will be perfect very soon." Ginny walked away from him with a grim look, if she was going to get Harry to herself she was going to need to do some more work to get rid of Hermione for good.
With Hermione
"Our Parents?" Draco reiterated. "What this about 'our parents'? You weren't even apart of it until you started having a break down."
"Well Brother Dearest," Hermione said sarcastically, "If I'm not mistaken, which I rarely am, your Father specifically stated that I am a member of this family." Hermione dropped her head and spoke quietly, "I know you don't trust me Malfoy, but if it's true, I want to know more. I want to know if it is better to be apart of a family that is so strong in there beliefs, whether they are good or bad, is better than the life I have led for so many years. For so long, I have been through hell all because of what I am, whether I am here and being known as a Mudblood, or at home being known as a freak!" Draco and Hermione sat in silence while Draco thought over what she said. "Lucius said if I wanted to know more, then I would have to go to the Manor with you during Christmas break. Would you… I mean is it ok if I go back with you?" Draco looked at her brown eyes that were so confused and nodded his head in agreement. "On one condition," he said. Hermione tilted her head in response, "you have to appear as a Malfoy for the rest of the semester." Draco smirked as Hermiones' jaw dropped open. "WHAT!?"
"Do it or I won't let you come." He crossed his arms over his chest and stuck his nose in the air.
"But…I… this…." Hermione stuttered. "I can't do that! No one would know it was me, and I… well… I'm not sure what would happen."
"Exactly and," Draco rubbed his hands together and smiled wickedly at her, "you must be nice to me."
Hermione stared at him with her mouth agape for a moment and thought about it. Why not? No one knows he has a sister but Zabini, and I doubt he's going to say anything about it. Plus it's not like my 'friends' are going to care anymore, they are only going by what Ginny says, and I will get to know more about the Malfoys. "Deal," She said. "No one is going to recognize me as Hermione, but as your sister. Though, it might be best to go and speak to Dumbledore about me being sorted again, it might look suspicious if I disappeared and a Malfoy took my place and it just happened to be in Gryffindor. Besides, Ginny has already seen to me being removed as is." Hermione pulled her wand out of her pocket and waved it over her to remove the glamour she had casted on herself to hide her new identity.
Hermione sat in her new form across from her new brother and met Draco eye to eye and smirked. "Shall we?" she asked.
"Yes," he said, "But you can't be seen wondering around in Hogwarts clothes just yet, and I can't have you running around as a Gryffindor either. Do you know what that would do to my reputation to be known as the brother of a Gryffindor?" Hermione rolled her eyes at the disgusted face he made as he said 'Gryffindor.' Draco transfigured her school clothes into something that look pricey enough to show off her heritage. Her outfit was simple yet elegant, with a white long sleeved top with a scoop neckline and a flowing skirt that went down to her knees in a sliding shade of greens. "There, that is much better. Now, lets get going."
"What is it with you Slytherins and your obsessions with the color green?" she asked.
The two walked in the direction of the Headmasters office with Draco flouncing himself and Hermione soaking in the looks from the other classmates. She looked at Draco and said, "So this is what it feels like to be pompous." Draco just smirked at her and said, "You're just jealous, cause I make this look good."
"Right, and that's why everyone is staring at me and not you." Hermione said dryly. Draco stopped dead in his tracks and looked at the people around him, and she was right, they were all staring at her. For an odd reason, he got really angry that they were staring at her; especially the guys. "Let's go, now is not the time to stop." He said as he grabbed her hand, "What the hell you looking at Thomas?" Dean Thomas was startled by Draco shouting at him, he was so mesmerized to care. He looked from the new girl to Draco and said, "Dude she's hot, cant blame a guy for staring." Draco glared at Dean causing him to run off. Turning, he grabbed Hermiones arm and dragged her behind him towards the Headmasters office. "I can't believe that little creep. Just staring at you like some piece of meat…" as Draco ranted on; Hermione was covering her mouth while she laughed at his remarks. "What? Does something amuse you Granger?" he asked.
"Well just the fact that you are getting a bit over protective of me and we haven't been siblings for more than an hour." She said after she calmed down.
"Shut up Granger." Draco said as they walked the rest of the way to the stone gargoyle. "Password" the gargoyle asked. "Airheads. Where does he come up with these names?"
The Headmaster sat behind his desk as the two student walked through the door, "Good evening Mr. Malfoy, Miss Granger. What can I help you with?" He asked in a kind voice. "Would you care for a lemon Drop? They are quite good and they have a certain kick to them." Dumbledore popped one in his mouth and started to daze. Hermione and Draco looked at each other, "Professor, we need to have some business taken care of." Draco announced. Professor Dumbledore was still staring out into space while he talked, "Professor? Are you alright?" Hermione asked. "Quite alright child, now what was it you were saying?"
Draco explained the plan that they both discussed and agreed upon. Dumbledore seemed amused by the idea of taking the princess of Gryffindor and making her a Malfoy for the rest of the semester, even better was the idea of how to explain how Hermione will be gone and how a new girl will be taking over. "So my dear boy, do go over it one more time for how Hermione will leave and the new, Cassandra is it? Yes, the new Cassandra will be in our fare school." Draco and Hermione sighed as they have been explaining this to him for the past two hours. "Okay, you as the Headmaster will offer Hermione an exchange program to attend the school of Beuxbaton, in exchange for the Head Girl to go missing, they will send over there Head Girl, who just happens to be my sister, to be transferred here in her place. She will remain in status of Head Girl, as though the two had been corresponding for the past few months to discuss which students stood where in the school, first through seventh year and what house. Everything should go fairly smoothly as long as no one asks to write Granger, it would look a little obvious if she started reading all of her mail. She is going to need to be resorted as well, hopefully into Slytherin." Hermione snorted at that, "I hate to say it but he's right, if a Malfoy steps foot in Gryffindor common room, they are doomed. Slytherin is probably the only place that won't end in my untimely death."
"Right, we shall make the announcement tomorrow during Breakfast that way it gives you enough time to remove your stuff from Gryffindor Tower and into a safe location until we have the 'other' you be sorted. However, your sister has been seen as she is twice now walking through the halls, it will be a bit difficult to explain why she is here and not Miss Granger. Of course, unless you Mr. Malfoy care to dress like her and play her part?" Hermione started laughing at the thought that Malfoy would be dressed like a girl. "Professor, as amusing as that would be, why don't we have it seem that Draco's sister had to return tonight to Beuxbaton and I would still be here long enough to have you announce my leavings, and then just apparate outside the grounds, change my looks, then apparate back? No one would be of the wiser."
"That would be an excellent idea my dear. Now, you two should head down and Miss Granger, make a good show of this." Dumbledore winked at them and ushered them out of the room. "Um, Sir? Is it possible to get a portkey to my room?" Hermione asked. "I know it sounds strange, but it will be even stranger seeing me come from outside, perhaps I could even come from the dungeons, say from Professor Snapes class? He is one of the few teachers that knows what is happening, it would be less concerning about the whole procedure if I didn't have to explain to another teacher why I'm just porkeying all of over the place." Dumbledore stroked his beard in contemplation, and nodded his head in agreement. He grabbed a worn feathered quill off of his desk and turned it into a portkey. They both thanked him and turned and left his office with Draco in the lead. "Was it me or was Dumbledore acting weirder than normal?" Draco asked.
"It has to be the lemon drops." She answered. "Why else would he eat them all the time, there laced with some kind of narcotic drug." When they entered the Entrance Hall they turned to each in the midst of a crowd of passer-bys and said, "Goodbye dear brother, I am sure that we shall see each other very soon." She kissed his and gave him a quick hug. "laying it on a bit thick there aren't you?" Draco whispered. Hermione smiled and turned and left out the door. Once outside she walked down the beaten path to the gates to Hogwarts and stared at the castle that she had come to know as home. "It's amazing how so much can change in such a short time." She said to herself, "at least things can't get worse." She pulled the quill from her pocket and ported to the dungeons… But not where she wanted to be.
"MY EYES!!! MORE POOR VIRGIN EYES!!!" she screamed as she went running out of Professor Snapes Bathroom. Snape was trying to wrap a towel around his waist as fast as he could from the intrusion of a girl appearing in his bathroom. Hermione ran from his room to his living room tripping over his coffee table landing her straight on her face. "Quick obliviate me now, I can't go on living knowing that I have seen my Professors naked body."
"Granger… get off of my floor and leave before I hex you into oblivion. And change your bloody glamour you insolent child, we can't have you running around like that all the time." Snape stood dripping wet pinching the bridge of his nose with his eyes closed.
"Yes sir. By the way, you should think about where more form filling clothes. Your clothes do you no justice." Professor Snape glared at her causing her to run off. "OUT GRANGER!"
"That is the last time I give Albus laced lemon drops." He said as she slammed the door behind her.
The next day in the Great Hall
Hermione came in as she usually did and sat farther down from the rest of her housemates. Most were giving her dirty looks; the others just wouldn't look at her at all. Oh well, let them gawk; at least I get to 'leave.'
"Attention students," Dumbledore said as he stood "I am proud to announce that one of our students has been chosen to study abroad. It has been something that many of the different school have chosen to do, and this year we have decided to allow one of our student be one to attend. This year our student shall study abroad for the rest of the semester, after the Holidays, it is up to them whether they wish to come back to Hogwarts or stay there for the remainder of the year. Now, I would like to award this year's opportunity to…" Dumbledore held for a dramatic effect, "Miss Hermione Granger!" Many clapped for her, though none from the Gryffindor or Slytherin side. Shrugging off the tears that came to her eyes as she realized this was the last time they would have to actually apologize to her had passed and no one would say anything. Hermione held her head high and put a large smile on her face and walked to Dumbledore and shook his hand, "Though Miss Granger is our Head Girl here at Hogwarts, she and another student from Beuxbaton have made arrangements to switch positions. The Head Girl from Beuxbaton will take over where she will be leaving off. Of course the Head Boy will help out whenever he can." Dumbledore gave Malfoy that clearly spoke of his role in the matter. "Miss Granger, if you will please go and pack your things you will be leaving by Portkey in one hour. Be safe Miss Granger, and remember, you will always be welcomed here."
Hermione made it up to her room and shrunk everything into her trunk to make everything fit. Within forty-five minutes she had everything packed and ready, as she was walking down from the Gryffindor tower, she passed many who, until recently, she considered friends and who were people she had known for seven years, but now it all changed. This will be the last time I walk past these people as Hermione J. Granger.
"See ya later druggy," Ginny said as she walked past her. Hermione stopped and whirled around walked right up to Ginny and slapped her, "I don't know what sick pleasure you get out of being a slut, but please remember, half of the guys you have slept with don't even like you. They only fucked you because you are so fucking easy. Also, if I was you, I wouldn't do anything stupid when the new Head Girl comes in, she will not take kindly to whores running around the school. Although, she might take pity on you if you suck up to her." Hermione turned and continued on her way down the steps leaving a stunned Ginny behind. She arrived at the doors to meet up with Dumbledore to see her off.
"Ready Miss Granger?" he asked kindly.
"Yes, Professor, thank you." Dumbledore leaned forward to speak to her privately, "Now, Miss Granger, once you apparate away, you will have plenty of time to do as you please. Be sure to remember that you must return immediately in time for dinner. We will from there introduce you as Cassandra Malfoy and let you be sorted." Hermione nodded her head in confirmation.
After shaking hands with Dumbledore one last time she marched down the path towards the school gates, turned, and apparated away into a little niche on a side of a hill that she remembered was where Sirius would hide. It brought back so many memories of when Harry, Ron and Her would do all of there wild adventures and how much they relied on each other… Now it seemed as if all they needed was Ginny. Shrugging off the anger that starting to rise, she left the little niche, patting her pocket making sure that all of her things were still in her pocket from earlier. "Right, now, there is just one tiny thing I think I need to do… Time to go see mommy and daddy." With a dark look on her face she walked away from the small area apparated and headed straight home for a little intervention.
