RECAP

""MR. MALFOY. GET OUT NOW!." The shrill voice of Madame Pomfrey rang in his ears. He hurriedly got off the bed and strolled towards the exit. Before he closed the behind him, he said to the shocked Hermione who was surround by the bits and pieces of different food

"The porridge tastes nice, Granger, Eat up!""

Chapter 21

Hermione flopped onto her comfy bed, wrinkling her comforter. After her "breakfast", Madame Pomfrey gave her a quick inspection. Since she was deemed healthy, Hermione was told that she was should get plenty of rest and was allowed to go back to her dorm. Hermione was advised not to return to her classes for today and was to relax during the upcoming weekend. Hermione smiled as she thought back to the food fight with Malfoy. He looks nice when he is smiling instead of smirking. It makes him look less cocky and more approachable. Surely, he has changed for the better. A sharp knocked interrupted her thoughts.

"Come in." Hermione called out, quickly sitting up.

Death, Mr. Thanatos, strode through the doorway. Hermione stiffened as he walked in. The temperature in the room dropped significantly.

"I hope you are feeling better, Princess." He spoke in his gruff voice. "Here." He stuck a gloved hand into the insides of his robes and procured a small black box.

Hermione took it from the outstretch hand of Death. "What is it?" She asked as she examined the little box. There was nothing special with it. The velvet covering the box was black. The small hinges at the side of the box was…black. The lock at the front was…also black. It was literally a black box.

She looked up at the hooded figure with a questioning look.

"Don't you remember, Princess? It is your birthday present from your father." He said. Making a small wave with his hand, a stony black chair appeared. Sitting on it, he continued "This is a very special birthday present."

Hermione opened the velvet box, revealing a simple skull ring. It was silver with some kind of shiny black stones encrusted in its eyes. She held it up close to her eyes to inspect it more carefully. Along the insides of the ring, there was a tiny inscription that read: "Use wisely". She looked up at Death with a confused expression.

"This doesn't seem that special. I can buy these in those costume shops are even some street stands." Hermione murmured, as she placed the ring back into the black velvet box.

"No, Princess, you must understand that this ring is very special." He picked up the ring and examined it. "Do you remember the three objects of the Deathly Hallows?"

"Yes. Of course. I read the story many times during the time where my friends and I were hunting horcruxes. It was the wand, the stone and the cloak."

"To tell you the truth, it was I who gave it to those three men. I know you are familiar with the Deathly Hallow." He held out the ring. "These stones in the skull are very similar to the one that I gave to the second brother."

"You mean the one that can resurrect the dead?" Hermione questioned

"Yes. But this stone is even more precious. As you might have read in the book, the stone in the story can only resurrect one dead person. These two stones however can resurrect three different people. Also, it can —"

Hermione was shocked, she hesitantly picked up the ring and inspected it again. "B-but won't it make the person that have this ring wanted to die also, because the one that was resurrected did not belong to that world and will suffer and fade away. This will also lead to the death of the carrier of the stone."

"Princess, don't worry. This ring is perfectly safe. As I was saying, these stone allow you to resurrected three different people that will not suffer in the real world nor fade away, thus it will not result in the carrier's death. This ring will allow three people to have another chance in the world of the living."

"Oh.." Hermione was speechless. Surely this must be very dark magic to resurrect the dead. What happens if the ring fell into the hands of bad people? " I don't want it, Mr Death. I am afraid that this ring might fall into wrong hands and will lead to disaster."

"Princess, don't worry this ring is protected with magic that will only allow you to access its power. It is protect with a different sort of magic, not the one that you are learning now. Only you in the right state of mind and from your own free will can resurrect three people." He took the ring from her hands and put it on her index finger. "Here. Let's try this. Think of one person that you believe should have another chance to live and say…

It was the last class for Friday. Many of the students had ran out of the room the second the bell rang. Harry and Ron was the last to leave the classroom. Harry was gathering his textbooks and throwing them into his bag.

"I still can't believe what happened today. Why was Hermione like that in the hospital wing. Her looks were so different. I bet it has something to do with Malfoy." Ron said glumly. After their initial shock, they still haven't found Hermione to explain what happen. At lease Ron seems to be getting better from his depression, Harry thought. I better go get Ginny and the go talk to Hermione. He pushed his glasses back onto his nose as it was falling off and rushed out of the room. Ron sadly stomped after Harry, not wanting to be left behind.

After terrorizing a few innocent first years, Draco felt satisfied. Remembering that Hermione was released from the hospital wing, he sprinted towards the Heads dormitory, wanting to check on her. He quickly muttered the password and pushed the portrait door open. He was about to called out for her when he noticed something happening in the common room. Hermione was SHOWING A GUY AROUND THE COMMON ROOM! Something roared in anger inside Draco's head. He gritted his teeth as he looked up and down the stranger, contemplating on what he should do. Should he yell at Granger and kick her out of the room? Or should he punch the guy and give him a detention? Docking 10,000 points from the stranger's house also seems to be a good decision. The guy had sandy blonde hair, similar to the one that he dyed his hair into during the Halloween ball, sky blue eyes and a incredible jaw line. Many young girls might say that he was HOT, but compared to me, Draco mused, well, he can't be compared to me since I am the best. Before he could say another word, Hermione seemed to have noticed his presence.

"Malfoy!" she exclaimed in shock. She was too busy showing the guy around that she haven't notice Malfoy entering the common room.

"Granger." He nodded in greeting. "Who are you?" He sneered at the person who had an arm around Hermione's shoulder. Draco did not like that guy, not one little bit. Who was he to be touching his Head girl?. He gave an death glare at the him. If looks could kill…

"Oh..this is.." Granger gestured to Malfoy. "Draco Malfoy, the Head Boy." Introducing the great him to that awful git. "And Malfoy this is my brother."

It took a few seconds for Malfoy to register the information. "WHAT? Isn't he dead?
