Here is the next chapter. I hope you like it. Please read and review thanks love Hermione xxx
By that evening the paper had made the rounds and every staff member had seen it. It was decided for now to seriously monitor her greatly. As she was not trusted it was decided to put an invisible untraceable rune tattoo on her arm which would cancel her wandless abilities until she was eighteen years old at which point she would regain them and would be out of school therefore no longer their problem. They had to be safe and it was better to be safe than sorry. One of the teachers knocked her out when she was unaware without being seen and applied the runes quickly before taking her to see Poppy who healed her and sent her on her way without complaint. They had told Poppy what they planned to do prior to doing it and she was fine with it as it was safer that she didn't have access to it when they couldn't trust her not to use it. They had all done this a mass punishment for all she'd done so far and to be safe. What Hermione didn't know wouldn't hurt her anyway so it was all good.
They didn't tell Albus about it either and so he didn't find out about it. Although he fully intended to use and abuse her to fit his purpose at that time he didn't need her to use wandless magic so would never notice she no longer had use of it.
Actually he had been rather shaken that she had proven that early discovery of magic in smart muggleborns and practice could mean they would be very proficient in wandless magic when they came to school in their first year. He knew of course that Hermione always overdid everything she ever did so it was unlikely that any other muggleborns were like her. She always had been different. As he reflected on things he realised that no one in Gryffindor truly got why Harry had won those house points or that he had gotten them legitimately and what's more they didn't want to get it either. Then the other houses hated him for it. The fact that Ravenclaw house indeed a valid house but not the best one there thought that there was no need to even try for house points was distressing to say the least. Were they all so stupid that they truly believed they couldn't win normally themselves? Anyway it didn't truly matter because no matter what house Harry Potter was in if he saved everyone he'd get many points no matter what. It wasn't right that right now no one saw him as the hero he wanted everyone to see him as. They were all against Harry instead of worshiping him as Dumbledore wanted not that he ever openly expressed such ideas of course. It would have been ridiculous to do so.
He couldn't make people think as he wanted to if they weren't following Harry like he wanted them to. He thought that if he made it seem like Harry had suggested something they would go along with it even though he was truly the one suggesting it. He had been stunned that the school had managed to repair her wards and clean the forest by herself. It was not something he'd ever thought the sentient school capable of. He was further stunned when an utterly shaken Hagrid did not approach him at all to whine about the lost animals in the forest. He had wanted to ask him about it but thought the better of that decision as he knew that if he did he'd be only giving Hagrid an excuse to moan. Having said this though he was still concerned for the man because it was quite obvious something that he was sure had nothing to do with the forest had terrified him and he was concerned. If something could terrify Hagrid of all people than they were all fucked.
This bore looking into in the future which he would be doing for sure. Perhaps Poppy might know what had terrified him so much. Was he finally getting nightmares as an adult that he'd not gotten as a child or something? This did mean that his plans to further test Harry were now not technically allowed as he couldn't allow anyone unsavoury into the school in order to do it for him as he had done previously. Sure he'd also wanted to discredit Lockhart but had he harmed Harry he could have seen what happened to him too. Would Harry have defended himself or known to defend himself? Would he have been dumbed down by his time with the Dursleys? I mean he'd purposefully paid them to care for him using his own galleons so they'd never be able to actually spend it. This was of course to test their patience and to test what would happen if Harry was raised in an environment with no love like Voldemort had. He popped a sherbet lemon into his mouth as he thought.
Harry had arrived not in the way he'd thought he would to be honest. He was quite smaller than the other first year students and very, very jumpy something he'd not thought of beforehand. In fact Harry had been terrified to even meet people's eyes for a long time. It took almost all of first year before he'd even talk to people who were not on the quidditch team. Then second year had happened and he'd be ostracised by the whole school again feeling no love but was yet again different to the experiences of Tom. Tom had never felt any love or any need for love at all and he was instantly popular in school a thing he relished all throughout his seven years there. He'd been adored and fawned over by many students and staff alike but cared nothing for their feelings except the adoration and attention he was receiving. It was almost as though he felt he was always better than them. Harry was also fawned over but even Albus could see it was not for the right reasons and could see how he utterly hated it but Albus did encourage even if he knew Harry hated it. There had to be something which equalled the power he knew not and it was up to him to figure out what that was and then use it to end Voldemort permanently.
Where Voldemort was concerned however he felt very much like telling everyone to do as he said and not what he did. He was well aware you needed brute force to end Voldemort but he seriously didn't appreciate the fools in his order telling him that on the regular. Just because he wanted everyone to think he was whiter than white did not mean he didn't actually know that like everyone seemed to think it did. Idiots the lot of them. Somehow though Harry had found love and understood it something Dumbledore could not comprehend properly as his one true taste of love had been disastrous. I mean Gellert had been hotter than hell but he'd been a bad man and Albus had been truly blinded by his extreme sex appeal. It was something he often wrestled with internally. He'd wonder how he could have been so stupid but then he'd remember Gellerts looks and melt once more. I mean you couldn't truly ever hate that face could you? At least he was permanently locked up out of sight and therefore out of mind.
Why though had Harry chosen Draco Malfoy of all people? I mean granted he was a Warrens now which he would be looking into for sure. There was no reason he should have needed to change his name. He'd need to ask Severus about it soon. He might even compel the truth from him if the answer he initially gave was not satisfactory. How had they managed to get rid of those compulsions and why did Harry now look better than ever? Hell he even had confidence something Albus had always tried to subtly stamp out in the boy if he ever showed it before which he rarely ever did. It would now seem as well from reports of how he was doing in his classes that he'd been somehow holding back intellectually before and was now acing all of his lessons. He'd also dropped divination and was taking runes something he did not approve of and would need to be revoking soon. He did not simply get to quit divination when he'd implanted the idea in his head that he should even take it in the first place. He was meant to be dumbed down so he'd do as he was told and submit to any orders Albus would give him but that wouldn't be happening now would it?
Of course this is where Miss Granger came in. He would find out exactly how Harry wished her to be somehow and then make her that way so then he was amazed with the change in her henceforth doing anything she told him to. Even he could see she could be too blunt from time to time so he would need to be getting her to make him do things in a more subtle way. Maybe she could make him divorce Draco somehow. Draco whatever the hell his last name happened to be was not part of the damn deal. He needed to go and besides which he wasn't behaving at all like he was meant to. He wasn't severe anymore and didn't wear his hair gelled back either. It hung in loose medium length waves around his face when he didn't have it in a damn top knot. Also those flamboyant colours would need to go. No one ever hated or feared someone who wore raspberry fucking coloured suits on occasion. Albus was in all honesty jealous as Draco looked way better than he had before and when Albus had attempted unsuccessfully to come out everyone had told him he looked ridiculous. Just because he hadn't wanted to dress like Draco and had wished to wear vibrant AF robes he was shunned by people in society who saw him as a joke. He was their saviour but a saviour who looked like a joke none the less. As the years had gone on people had just accepted him for the weird person he was but it wasn't how he wished to be remembered.
He was so jealous of Draco because people loved his new style and some even got angry that he'd been dressing the way he had before going as far as to call him stupid for doing something which never suited him. Harry was meant to pick Ginevra and even if he was gay couldn't he have picked someone better than Draco fucking Malfoy of all people. I mean he wasn't even handsome in Dumbledore's mind that is. "Hogwarts house elf! Yes whoever the hell you are I need you to find out exactly which way Mr Potter would prefer Miss Granger to behave any way you can at all and tell me what he says. It is very important for me to know how she can be better person for him!" he instructed as the elf who had answered him popped into Harry's room where he was reading some runes theories and jumped. Draco was in the shower so wasn't there when the elf arrived.
"Can I help you elf?" he asked seriously as the elf bowed low.
"Mr Potter headmaster has asked me to ask you how you wish Miss Granger to behave in order to be a better person for you. I is using his words as he be saying them sir!" she said nervously as Harry looked deeply confused.
"Well tell him in order for her to be better person for me she would need to admit to being wrong, stay away from me always and stop lecturing everyone on what they are or are not doing correctly. She would need a personality transplant and I don't think it's healthy that this is his concern. Please tell him she is a lost cause and he would do better focusing on educational issues instead of something useless like Hermione Granger. You may go now!" he ordered as she left and returned to headmaster delivering his message and promptly screaming as he attacked her with magic for not getting the answer he liked. He watched her pale little form cry and scream in agony as some of her skin bruised and smiled to himself. No fucking measly elf would ever fail him again if it was the last damn thing he ever did. However he didn't count on this elf being a smart one.
"Next time I want answers you will give them to me!" he said as she looked as though she was cowering and left but not before taking his lemon drops away and replacing them with lemon drops which contained a laxative in them. She was Padma Patil's elf who had told her to answer the headmaster doing anything he should ask of her but punish him should he attack her which she had done now. She would heal herself with Padma later on when she was finished in her classes. Padma's magical supply was able to heal the elf in five minutes to maximum health so she only needed to suffer a small bit before being healed. Harry had warned everyone in Ravenclaw about Albus Dumbledore being horrid to the house elves so they had all instructed their elves to punish him back in a smart way if he ever punished them. The word has spread to the other houses too who had mostly followed suit except Hermione of course. It wasn't explained who had said he abused house elves as Harry's name had not been passed on but either way no one cared who had said it so long as it didn't happen to their elves. The rose tinted glasses were certainly off around Hogwarts now. People were beginning to question what he did and said more now and it wasn't just those in Slytherin house for once. He thought some more about things becoming enraged as he swiped his hands everything including his bowl of sweets flying from the table. He shrieked upon seeing the sweets on the floor and used his own wandless magic to pick them up and put them back in the bowl before eating one. No one had truly seen them fall so he was safe for now. As he became overcome with emotions he couldn't process he decided to eat his feelings and greedily scoffed them all down when he felt and heard his bowels rumble before he royally coloured his office chair and walls whilst attempting to stem the flow and screaming his head off. He would be like this all night long and he would have a lot of shit to clean up too. Also as a further punishment he'd need to clean it himself as no elf would do it for him. He'd need to learn to be kinder to them simple as that. The elves who were sick of it made sure he'd need to clean it himself too. Hogwarts as a whole was wising up to him.
