Chapter 14:
" Hey Hermione!" Ron and Harry waved me over to the table as I walked into the Great Hall. They couldn't know about anything, and this was going to be hard for me not to tell my best friends anything.
" Hey guys!" I replied. I sat down next to Ron, and he actually looked nervous which I found to be odd. I looked over at Harry and Finny and they just shrugged.
" Um Ron" He looked up at me " Is everything alright?"
" What?" He looked around the room, and started to stutter by nervousness. " Oh Uh, yea" I just nodded still unsure of what was wrong. He looked up at me. " Hermione?"
" Yea?"
" I was wondering if you wanted to hang out in the common room tonight , just the two of us?" was he asking me out on a date? No, he couldn't be this was my best friend talking. Sure I have liked him for a long time and I always thought we would eventually get together once he realized what was in front of him ,but … this couldn't be a date could it?
" Um, yea sure Ron, After Dinner tonight I'll meet you." I looked at him and his expression seemed to brighten and I could almost swear I saw hope in his eyes. This couldn't be bad , I mean we were friends for a reason, and I have waited for this day for a really log time. I made my way to the out of the Great Hall. I made my way down to the potions dungeon early for class ,hoping to talk to Professor Snape.
I knew I could do this, I was used to danger and having to sneak around ,but I have never done it alone before, I've always had my friends beside me ,that's how I knew that I could so it. I knocked on the cold stone door.
" Who is it?" came the cold voice of the mysterious Professor Snape.
" Hermione Granger, could I talk to you for a moment please?" At first I heard nothing, no sound or response , then I was about to leave and just come back for class, When I heard the door open and I came face to face with my tall, pale, teacher.
" What do you want?"
" I want to talk to you about …" I took a deep breath " The Resistance, and about Draco training me." His eyes widened, and he looked annoyed and shocked. This was dangerous and I knew it. It wasn't that I was going behind Draco's back, but I need to be better at dark arts, and this I know from this mornings session. He stared at me for a long moment and then opened the door letting me in. I sat down at a brown leather chair by his desk.
" I want to apologize for running out, when you told me about The Resistance. I was in shock, I thought everything was over with. It was a lot to handle having to deal with Voldemeort all over again. I have seen this thing through, and this is why I want to join. Draco said that he would train me to know everything that I could ,but I wanted to get your permission, and learn from your skills." He looked to be thinking about it. " I know I don't have any real connections to Death Eaters or Voldemort, but I am what they despise…. I'm a Mudblood" I hated calling my self that but I have heard it said to me so many times it doesn't even sound like a word any more.
" You want to put yourself at risk like that?" I grinned
" I wont be putting myself at risk, I will be on the inside; after your training of course. They wont even know its coming that's the best part." I sat there for another minute in silence, until I saw the corners of his mouth slowly rise up, and he extended his hand out to me.
" Meet me after dinner tonight, and bring Draco." I smiled and shook his hand. I was very proud of my self. I was always striving to be the best and now I was going to be again. I hated failure and after this morning's horrible training I am going to prove I can do much better.
I left Professor Snape's office, and class was about ready to start. I took a seat behind Harry and Ron ,and next to Pavarti.
" What were you doing in Snape's office" Ron looked back at me. I shrugged
" I was acquiring his help on an assignment." I said simply. I tried not to look him in the eyes, or I would get about 50 more useless questions. However I did glance up at Draco who was looking at me with curiosity. I did need to bring him with me tonight to meet Snape. So I pulled a piece of parchment out of my bag, and began o write
Draco,
Snape , wants us to meet him in his office after dinner tonight
Hermione
I sent a magical transformation to the piece of parchment on his desk. He read it with a smirk and soon enough I had a magical reply back to me.
Granger,
Why are we to report back here?
Draco
I smirked as I looked over at him.
Draco,
I guess you'll have to show up and find out…
Hermione
I glanced over at Draco casually so no one would notice and caught him nodding at me in reply to my request. The rest of class went by rather quickly. When class had ended I was putting my books away when I noticed a piece of parchment
' Dark Magic and Today'
' Dark Magical Beings'
' Veela, A history uncovered'
These all looked like book titles. I was curious so I made it a point to go to the library as soon as I had time. I knew there was something important in these books, and I was going to find out what.
