Hermione POV
My heart jumped when I heard another crash followed by the static sounds of a call ending.
"What happened", blondie said.
"I have no idea", I groaned, dropping my head in my hands.
"Hey, it's probably ok", blondie said. "Give it 24 hours and see if Harry boy calls you".
"Ok", I let out a shaky breath. "I'm going to go to do some research now".
"I'll go to", blondie declared, starting to head towards the living room. "I want to find some more things about Narcissus".
"Yes, Queen Cissy", I mused, using her most commonly-used nickname. "Go ahead. I'm gonna research Riddle and Umbridge".
*6 hours later*
I yawned, jotting down the information I was reading in the book. My handwriting had become sloppier as the hours ticked by until they looked like a complete mess.
"We should go to sleep now", blondie said. "Father will be coming home soon and we only slept 4 hours yesterday".
"Well, I can't sleep on the couch", I said. "Your father would see me".
"True", blondie mused. "I mean you could sleep in my room?".
"I'm not sleeping with you", I replied immediately. "Your so pale that if I wake up in the middle of the night, I'll think your a ghost, scream, and wake up the whole house".
"Shut up, who said anything about sleeping in the same bed? Your sleeping on the floor", blondie said.
"Your supposed to offer women the bed like a gentleman", I narrowed my eyes playfully.
"Well, suck it", blonde git said. "Either take that or you can sleep on the street".
"Buzzkill", I huffed.
"Get used to it", blondie said. "I'm entirely selfish, annoying, and don't care whatsoever about doing the 'noble thing'".
"Well at least you can make an attempt to show some form of manners", I crossed my arms over my chest.
"You can bloody shove those words up your arse", blondie rolled his eyes. "I'm half-devil, what do you expect?".
"Wait-" I paused. "Can you hear wishes?"
"Like my own? Well since my brain is I connected to my ears-".
"I meant other people's wishes, you git", I threw a pillow at him.
"I- no", blondie replied.
"Hmm", I drummed my fingers on the couch arm. "Wait, I got it". My fingers froze.
"What?".
"Narcissus Malfoy", I murmured. "I think she was making a Anti-Dust or Dust-takeaway contraption".
"What has that to do with me?" blondie asked.
"You were the test subject".
A/N Sorta short chapter. Sorry about that. It seemed like a good place to stop, even if it isn't a cliffhanger. Um, Narcissus being Draco's mother plays a huge part in this story so don't just brush over that information. Leave a review if you want to guess why she's really important. (Other than the obvious fact that she is a suspect for the dictator).
