Hermione slowly opened her eyes and remembered that today she had classes. She didn't want to see the Weasel and Potter; but as a Riddle she had to pretend to be friends with them.
Hermione quickly got dressed, walked down to the Common Room and was engulfed in hugs from her 2 most hated and least favorite Gryffindors: Potter and the Weasel.
"I'm so sorry, Hermione" Ron said sympathetically to Hermione; but she knew he only cared about having someone to copy homework answers off of.
"It's okay Ron, it was an accident. Let's go to the Great Hall to eat" Hermione said quickly and made her way to the portrait. The boys quickly caught up to her and they all hurried to the Great Hall to eat during what was left of their breakfast time.
Hermione caught the worried eye of her cousin staring at her. She did a subtle hand movement that meant we'll meet up later. He nodded and they both went back to eating their respective breakfasts.
Hermione made her way to Potions with the boys and sat silently in the class; only talking when Neville and she started on their potion.
Hermione successfully transfigured everything in Transfiguration; still impressing Professor McGonagall with her graceful and always successful moves.
Lunch came around and while sitting Draco sent her a hand motion and Hermione nodded. Draco got up and without attracting any attention; exited the Great Hall. Hermione then put her plan into action.
She turned towards the boys and said "I need to grab my Herbology and Charms books in my dorm room. I'll see you two later".
The boys nodded and Hermione exited the Great Hall. Hermione followed subtle green markings to an empty classroom. When she got inside, she saw Draco. She quickly put up a silencing charm; notice-me-not charm and a charm making the entire door disappear; so no one could see them.
Draco suddenly engulfed his cousin in a giant hug; which she returned as well. He just looked at her and she started to cry. She dearly missed the hugs she got from Draco. He told her everything would be okay and she stopped crying. No one would ever see her cry except her daddy, mom, Draco and Barty.
They just sat around and talked for 10 minutes, they both noticed that they needed to go to Charms, so Hermione took off all enchantments and they both exited the room at separate times.
In Charms, the combined Slytherins and Gryffindors learned how to cast a Patronus. When asked to demonstrate what a Patronus was, Hermione raised her hand.
"Yes, Miss Granger, before you demonstrate maybe you can tell us a few of the uses that Patronus' have" Professor Flitwick said; obviously very proud of her.
"A Patronus can help ward off Dementors; the guardians of Azkaban and they can also be used to relay messages to others that are far away. It requires a very happy thought to create a Patronus" Hermione said before she got on her feet.
She stepped to the middle of the class and pulled her wand out of her pocket. She closed her eyes and thought of the moment that Barty proposed to her, she opened her eyes and said with a loud, clear voice "Expecto Patronum".
A beautiful white snake emerged from the tip of Hermione's wand and everyone gasped as the snake flew across the room before disappearing and Hermione sat back down.
All the Gryffindors started clapping while the Slytherins looked on with anger and disgust that a mudblood had done better than any of them could ever accomplish.
Only Draco knew that she was a pureblood (In this story Tom Riddle is a pureblood and we obviously know that Bellatrix is a pureblood). Draco was sworn never tell anyone; not even other death eaters children or he would die (But not an unbreakable vow).
As they finished off the day with History of Magic today, they all just waited for Professor Binns to emerge from the blackboard and begin with his as usual boring monotone way of talking that had everyone in the class fast asleep within minutes.
Hermione decided to skip supper since she didn't want to be around the Weasel and Potter till tomorrow. She said the password "Silver Heart" and the portrait flung open as usual. Hermione couldn't wait till it was the end of the year so she would not have to spend time with her most hated Gryffindors and blood traitors.
She went up to her dorm and started looking over all her notes for her other classes and eventually fell asleep on her bed with the curtains closed; as usual.
