Summary: Based before book six. Hermione has gone under cover for the Order of the Phoenix, disguising herself as a slytherin. Her mission is to get close and get information about deatheaters from Draco Malfoy. Little did she expect to fall in love with the arrogant Malfoy. What will Harry and Ron think?

Warning: This is a story I wrote when I was twelve. Many fans of it wanted me to finish it when it was deleted from the site it was posted at. I've been editing it but to be honest the entire story is over half a million words and some parts of it are just plain going to be bad grammar and corny. If anyone wants to see this ever finished I cant go through all the bad grammar/corny writing, i'd have to literally re-write it and i'm not gonna do that :P But hey a lot of people seem to like it so if you're bored, give it a go. :)

Hermione Granger gasped looking in the mirror her heart nearly stopping. She had long straight blond hair, blue eyes and was very, very short. She looked completely stunning. "Id say we did a good job." said Remus Lupin smiling. Hermione was in a ministry car with Remus Lupin, Tonks, Harry, and Ron on their way to platform 9 3/4. The rest of the Weasley's were in a separate car.
Hermione stared at her reflection.
" Hermione your- your...actually hot!" said Ron. Hermione glared at him darkly. "Not that you never were but- wow." said Ron rather nervously and he pushed his hair back as if trying to look cool.
"Think the plan will work?" asked Harry uneasily.
"It should." said Remus.
"Let's go over the plan again." said Tonks. They all groaned. "Hermione Granger has decided to take a year at Beauxbatons and we get this new transfer student which is Hermione in her new look which is fabulous! To bad you weren't a morhphimagus it would have been so much easier, anyway she gets sorted into Slytherin. Dumbledore has already made plans with the hat, and gets on Draco Malfoy's good side to find out information on the deatheaters." said Tonks.
"You sure it will work Hermione could get hurt, and why Malfoy?" asked Harry.
"Trust me I can pretend to be a big old bad Slytherin and we know Malfoy's dad is a death eater who just escapedprison I might add and the others we're not so sure on." said Hermione. Her voice was different too more sweet like honey.
"Why does she have to do it?" asked Ron.
"I told you I want to help the order of the Phoenix and this is a good way I can help." said Hermione.
"Its still dangerous if you ask me." said Harry.
"And riding those things,those thestralsto the ministry wasn't?" snapped Hermione angrily. So it was all right for Harry to do anything but she couldn't to this small tiny thing? Then she mentally kicked herself when she realized how cold and bitter her words were. Harry looked away. "Oh Harry I'm so sorry! I don't know what's come over me" said Hermione feeling dreadful. After all it really wasn't Harry's fault...he thought he was going to be saving Sirius...and he ended up dead and oh dear how could she have said that to remind him of that day? She felt a lump in her throat and her eyes began to water.
"Nice Job Hermione you're really getting the hang of this Slytherin stuff" snapped Ron his voice hissing with venom. Ron didn't always know how Harry felt but he sure knew how to stick up for him.
"I'm so Sorry Harry I-"started Hermione.
"It's OK just, just- so what's your Slytherin name?" asked Harry changing the subject.
"Err...Genna..."said Hermione.
"That doesn't really suit your new look, sorry." said Ron.
"Why don't you come up with a first name then!" snapped Hermione grudgingly.
"I dunno er Conan?" said Ron.
"First of all it sounds like a boy name second it sounds like a Caveman name" said Hermione. "Fine I'll pick one Emma." said Tonks.
"Emma-"
"Too late" said Tonks. "I'll send a letter to Dumbledore and now all we need is a last name and remember you're a transfer from Durmstrang." said Tonks.
"It has to be a pureblood name" said Hermione.
"Slytherin" said Ron. Remus smiled.
"It's so crazy it might just work." said Tonks.
"I'm Emma Slytherin? You guys are nuts! It will never work!" said Hermione.
"She's right. No one will believe it." said Harry.
"You'd be surprised" said Tonks.
"OK and Hermione? No going crazy over studying." said Ron.
"Yes Ron." said Hermione.
"And no going crazy over studying." said Ron again.
"And no being nice to us Gryffindors." said Harry.
"I know." said Hermione.
"Good you will have all of Draco Malfoy's classes you have to get on his good side so he will tell you everything OK?" asked Remus.
"I got it." said Hermione.
"I still say this is a bad idea." said Harry.
"OK were at the train station." said Tonks.
"Bye Hermione...we'll see you later." said Ron and he and Harry walked through the wall between platform 9 3/4. Hermione went in and walked down the hall looking for a Slytherin any Slytherin. It felt weird not going to the Prefect compartment she was no longer one anymore. This would take a lot of acting...She now doubted whether she could pull it off really Emma Slytherin? "It's too crazy...No one will by it honestly!" she muttered to herself looking down at her hands thinking, not looking where she was going she bumped into someone. She fell. She stopped herself from saying sorry. The boy who she crashed into helped her up.
"I'm sorry." he said. Hermione could have died he had gorgeous silver blue eyes and silky blond hair, smooth pale skin and those eyes! "Are you OK?" he asked.
"Fine." she said.
"What house are you in I don't think I've ever seen you?" he said. "I'm a transfer from Durmstrang." she said.
"Wow really? I almost went to Durmstrang but my Mum wouldn't have it" said the boy. "I'm Draco by the way Draco Malfoy." he said. Hermione's heart stopped. Malfoy was THIS hot? When did Malfoy turn hot?
"I'm Emma" she said.
"Let's find a compartment we can talk more" Said Malfoy.
"OK." she said, so far so good. They opened a compartment door to find Harry, Ron, Ginny, Neville, and Luna.
"Well, well, well if it isn't the potty squad." said Draco coldly. Hermione forced herself to giggle.
"Potter eh?" she said raising an eyebrow.
"Leave us alone Malfoy" said Neville bravely.
"Who is your friend anyway?" asked Luna.
"I'm Em-"Hermione started but Malfoy cut her off.
"Her names Emma." he replied smoothly.
"I could have said my name myself thank you." said Hermione in a very Hermioneish voice. Draco glared at her. Then he turned to Ron.
"How's your loser father Weasley? Is he getting enough money to feed your fat mum? Well if he isn't she could always eat him!" snapped Malfoy. Hermione forced herself to laugh trying not to glare at him angrily. Harry shot Hermione a do-something-look but what could she do? She had to get on Malfoy's good side why did she get herself into this mess? "Well Weasley I guess your fathers doing better off then Longbottom's who's in the loony bin." said Draco. Hermione felt the urge to slap him but it would ruin the plan. Harry and Ron had to hold Neville back from attacking Malfoy. "Where's your mudblood friend?" asked Draco.
"She's spending the year at Beauxbatons." said Harry.
"LET GO!" yelled Neville.
"We should go." Hermione said. Malfoy looked at her as if she was depriving him of real enjoyment. They left and found themselves a compartment.
"So what house do you want to be in?" he asked.
"Slytherin of course it's only the best house, Ravenclaw isn't bad...but I think id leave the school if I got in Hufflepuff wouldn't you?" she said. Malfoy grinned.
"Potter should have been in that house" he said.
"Potter shouldn't have even come to the school he was raised by muggles! ICK" Hermione said thinking this would please Malfoy more. Draco seemed more and more pleased as she made stuff up. Pansy Parkinson came in. Wonderful thought Hermione darkly.
"Hey Draco" she said sweetly. Then saw Hermione. "Who's your friend?" she asked.
"My name is Em-" but Malfoy cut her off once again.
"Her name's Emma we met about 5 minutes ago." said Draco.
"Look I can talk for myself!" Hermione snapped angrily.
"Look if you want to hang out with ME you keep your pretty mouth shut for a while OK?" he snapped just as angry. Hermione was about to explode. She had to let Malfoy boss her around! She had to do what ever it takes to get information out of him he had to know something about the dark lord's plans. So Hermione had to keep her cool.
"What's her last name?" asked Pansy. Draco looked to Hermione. Hermione smirked.
"What's your last name?" he asked.
"I thought you said I should keep my pretty mouth shut!" said Hermione slyly.
Draco glared. He obviously wasn't used to not getting what he wanted. Hermione sighed she would have to tell them her last name. They would never by it. "I'm Emma Slytherin." said Hermione.
"SLYTHERIN!" said Pansy her mouth opening wide.
"Yes." said Hermione hiding a smirk was Pansy really going to believe it? Maybe Tonks was right maybe they would by it were they that stupid?
"That means you're the heir of Slytherin." said Pansy stupidly. Wow she catches on quick Hermione thought sarcastically.
"Yeah." said Hermione.
"Did you open the chamber in second year?" she asked. Hermione of course knew what she was speaking about but gave her a bazaar look.
"I don't know what you mean...besides I'm from Durmstrang." said Hermione slowly maybe Pansy would understand more.
"Yeah but did you like sneak over and do it?" she asked. Before she could answer Malfoy spoke for her yet again.
"No she didn't." he said frowning slightly and for once Hermione was glad he answered for her.
"But if she's the heir of Slytherin-"
"There can be more then one heir you know she's most likely the purest though." said Draco sounding bored. Pansy left soon after. Hermione was glad to be away from the Slytherin girl. "Really what is your last name?" Malfoy asked.
"Slytherin." Hermione said again. Draco raised a light blond eyebrow but said nothing. So Draco had at least half a brain...pity. "So, was that your girlfriend?" Hermione asked trying to break the awkward silence.
"What- No." he said. "Well she was but not anymore." said Draco.
"Oh...when did you break up?" she asked.
"She doesn't know about it yet." said Draco with a sly grin and he left the compartment. A minute later she saw Pansy Parkinson sobbing running past her compartment. Malfoy was such a jerk. She never really liked Pansy much but still... and she had to pretend to like him she had to do what ever it takes to get information out of him she wanted to scream. How do you get yourself into these situations? She asked herself. Malfoy came back in looking satisfied.
"So what's it like at Durmstrang?" Draco asked.
"Its freezing there the teachers aren't the best, kind of stupid and slow but the best thing is you could push anyone of a glacier and make it look like an accident." she said with a grin remembering what Ron had said in fourth year. Draco smirked. "But the detentions are awful." she muttered. "I think I'm better off here even if we have that loony Dumbledore for headmaster." Hermione said she wished he would stop looking at her like that...
"I know what you mean the guys off his rocker" said Draco. They talked for the rest of the train ride she wondered what Harry and Ron were up too. Oh Malfoy was horrible. She had really thought there was some good in everyone until she had the long conversation. But then again she still didn't know him well enough to judge him. Once they got to the school she met Harry and Ron's eyes and winked. Her eyes traveled to Pansy who was now not crying but giving her a death look with one of her friends. They were whispering looking at her smiling evilly she felt uneasy surely Pansy and the girl were plotting something. She entered the great hall alone and found the line of first years. She felt extremely tall amongst them and waited for her name to be called. Hopefully whatever note Tonks wrote to Dumbledore had reached him in time. "Slytherin, Emma." said McGonagall giving her a small smile. All the teachers knew who she was except the Defense against the dark arts teacher, which was some black haired witch who looked like Snape with slightly shorter hair and cleaner. Everyone started muttering.
"Hello Miss Granger." the hat hissed real quickly and before he was fully on her head it shouted of course SLYTHERIN. The slytherin students cheered politely. She sat down next to Draco and watched the sorting.
"Goyle, Genna." Called McGonagall. Goyle has a sister? She thought bizarrely.
"HUFFLEPUFF!"
"Oh that's sick." muttered Goyle. Her eyes traveled to Harry and Ron. They were laughing and having a good time with out her. Hermione longed to be over there with her friends instead of next to a death eater's son. She felt small and alone surrounded by the bunch of Slytherin, and longed for the smiling face of a close friend to chat with her. She noticed Pansy staring at her venomously. She gulped and became rather interested in her shoes.
"Hello." said a cheerful voice and she looked up to see a girl with tan skin, shoulder length semi-straight brown hair with reddish tones, and brown eyes. The girl smiled sweetly. Hermione looked back down. "I don't bite." The girl said. Well she seemed nice enough for a Slytherin anyway and Hermione looked up.
"Hi." she replied. Draco looked at the two girls.
"Emma this is Jessica Kirkwood." he said nodding towards the girl.
"Hey Drakey what's up?" said Jessica smiling wider.
"Don't call me that!" he hissed and turned towards Goyle and started talking to him. "Can I sit?" asked Jessica.
"Sure." said Hermione.
"So you're the new girl huh? Don't worry you will fit right in!" Jessica said. Hermione smiled maybe she had made a friend? Hermione and Jessica started talking about boys. "Trust me this is the house with all the hot guys!" said Jessica smiling. Goyle suddenly made a strange noise causing Hermione to Glare. "Don't mind him he's trying to learn how to breathe through his nose again. It will never work he's too stupid." said Jessica sipping some pumpkin juice. Hermione wasn't sure if she was kidding or not...The feast had begun and Hermione hadn't realized it.
Hermione chatted with Jessica the whole time and really couldn't understand why she was in Slytherin she seemed so nice. "Well I have to go find my dumb boyfriend I haven't seen him at all sense the sorting..."she said with a smile and ran off. The feast ended and Hermione followed the Slytherin's to find the common room when someone grabbed her arm it was Malfoy. She realized she hadn't spoken with him really sense before the feast.
"Hey did you make a new friend?" he said.
"Yeah." Hermione said. They talked for a while and then Malfoy ran ahead to talk to Crabbe. Then someone pulled her into the shadows it was Ron.
"Don't scare me like that!" she hissed.
"So how's the plan going?" asked Ron.
"Fine!" Hermione said.
"That's good I just wanted to see how things were going...Who was that girl you were with?" asked Ron.
"Her names Jessica she is really nice." said Hermione.
"HERMIONE! You shouldn't go around hanging out with Slytherin's!" yelled Ron.
"You don't understand! She's nice!" said Hermione.
"Hermione she's a Slytherin!" yelled Ron.
"Ron stop acting like I'm a kid that you have to protect!" said Hermione.
"IM NOT! I JUST THINK YOUR BEING STUPID!" Ron yelled and he stormed down the hall.
"Good riddance!" yelled Hermione fuming. Ron was way over to protective! Then with a stab of horror she realized she had no clue where she was! Just great! She thought darkly.
She started walking in the path she thought was right and found her self hopefully lost. She had never been in this part of the castle and all the pictures gave her strange looks. They looked mad and they didn't seem to welcome her into their hall. They were whispering things about her.
"What's a student doing in this part of the castle?" whispered a very ugly painting of a man.
"I don't know but she is a mudblood." Replied another portrait. Hermione shivered. She was lost in a hallway of paintings of rude old Slytherin and couldn't find the Slytherin common room and some how they seemed to know she wasn't a pureblood. When she heard footsteps. Instead of feeling relieved she felt scared mostly because the paintings were laughing like mad now. Was it some monster going to eat her? You are being stupid Hermione monsters don't make that type of noise it's a person." she told herself. She walked faster down the hall, as the noise grew louder. What if it was Harry or Ron? But her heart seemed to beat faster and she got more nervous. The paintings were still laughing and some were hissing threats. She turned around looking for someone who had been following her but no one was there. She sighed. She had lost them. Who ever they had been she felt were not a friend. The paintings still stared at her tauntingly and she walked further. The hallway seemed to never end and it was getting quite cold and all was silent even the paintings now. What she would give for peeves to zoom through the wall. Just to not be alone anymore.
"It's getting late." she muttered to herself her voice sounding strange in the silence. Plus she was feeling tired. She could feel someone or something staring at her. She shivered and turned around. Nothing. She went on and turned to yet another hallway. This one seemed never ending as well. She heard a noise, sounding like the swish of a cloak. Someone was here. She turned around and stopped herself from screaming. Someone was leaning against the wall. She couldn't see them right because they were in the shadows. They had blond hair that much she could tell. "D-Draco?" she said. The person made no reply. She backed away. It wasn't Draco Malfoy. Draco was shorter then this person. She felt a lump in her throat. Why was she so terrified? She shook her fear away. "C-can you help me I'm l-lost" she said nervously. The person came out of the shadows. It was a boy as she thought it was. He was a tall and skinny boy with messy blonde hair that barely reached his ocean blue eyes. He was wearing a black cloak, which made him hard to see in the shadows. He stared at her as if she was a three-toed sloth. "Um… can you help me find the Slytherin Common room I lost my way and I'm new to the school" she said her voice falling into silence. He was a Slytherin...right? If he was then what was it with Slytherin and blonde hair?
"Follow me." he said breaking the everlasting silence. She felt relieved. He led her back down the hallway of the nasty paintings, which were silent as they walked by. She preferred to call it the hallway of doom. She now felt pretty stupid of being so scared. Really what was there to be scared of? She now felt really foolish as he brought her to the Slytherin common room (the password had been purebloods rule) and she said thank-you to the boy and went up to the girl's dormitory, which was the same as in Gryffindors common room, and she fell into a deep sleep.
Meanwhile the boy stared at the fire. "Now what is a mudblood doing here? This should be interesting...I'll have to keep an eye on this one." he whispered to himself and laughed darkly.
The next morning she woke up and yawned. After her little scare last night she felt extremely stupid and didn't want to go down to the common room. She pushed her brown bushy hair out of her face- Brown...BUSHY...HAIR. With a stab of horror she realized she had forgotten to take her potion, which transformed her into her Emma form! She was supposed to take it twice a day! She looked around wildly but all the girls were still asleep. Pansy was snoring quite loudly and she wondered how she had fallen to sleep. She looked in her trunk for it. Where IS it where is IT Damn it! She thought. She heard one of the girls stir and she dug through her trunk again and finally found a vile full of it. Hermione drank it quickly before anyone noticed but Pansy noticed the empty bottle.
"What's that?" she hissed.
"Pimple remover potion." said Hermione quickly.
"Oh..."Said Pansy and she grinned to herself. Hermione sighed. It was not even the first full day of school and she was already losing her mind. That was a close one...then she wondered if last night she looked like herself...and the boy would know! No if she looked like herself last night he would have surely recognized her and said something. With that she brushed her hair took a shower got dressed and went to breakfast. At breakfast she sat across from Draco who was talking to the boy who had rescued her last night. She kicked Draco. He looked at her surprised.
"Well aren't you going to introduce us?" Hermione asked. Draco looked at her in surprise.
"Oh um Emma this is Link, Link this is Emma." said Draco. Hermione was thankful that Link hadn't told anyone about her little episode last night. Maybe all Slytherin's weren't so bad.
She glanced at the Gryffindor's table and her eyes narrowed on Ron. She was still mad at him. Ron was talking to a pretty girl she had never seen. This girl she had dark brown hair in wind curls hazel eyes and a charming smile. Hermione frowned. Was she jealous of their new friend? Ron couldn't take his eyes off her. And their friend was a lot prettier than she... and he tells me I shouldn't make new friends! Hermione thought darkly.
"Uh Emma Why are you stabbing your pancake?" asked Draco. She looked at her breakfast and her over stabbed pancake and went red. She had been stabbing it while looking at the Gryffindor table.
"Um..."she said and looked at her shoes.
"Oh leave the poor girl alone Draco she can stab her breakfast if she wants to, maybe she was pretending it was you!" snapped a voice. Hermione looked up to see a girl with blue eyes, short slick dark burgundy hair, and a soft ivory colored complexion. Were all the girls in the school more attractive then she was? Well her old form.
"I thought it was a little odd she was stabbing her pancake so buzz off!" Draco snapped.
"Do I know you?" Hermione asked the girl.
"I'm Amy Davenport." said the girl giving Draco a dark look, which he returned. "Shouldn't you be with you're girlfriend she was quite upset yesterday about something." said Amy coldly looking at Draco. Oh no this girl is a friend of Pansy... thought Hermione nervously.
"If you took the time to pay attention to you're friend you'd find out the reason why she is upset is because we are no longer an item!" said Draco and he turned back to Link. Amy rolled her eyes and smiled turning back to Hermione.
"Don't mind us we have never gotten along." she said.
"I see." said Hermione wishing Jessica would pop up but she wasn't at the table.
"Well I have to go comfort the poor dear." said Amy and she walked back to Pansy. Anyone who called Pansy a poor dear must be bad news...but then again Slytherin's can surprise Amy was gone Draco said,
"You shouldn't go hanging out with people like Amy."
"Why?" Hermione asked.
"She's bad news OK?" he snapped rather angrily.
"I have to go find my girlfriend see you later Draco, Emma." said Link and he left sensing a fight.
"She seemed pretty nice to me." Hermione muttered.
"Well she isn't! She's dangerous If you want to fit in around here and don't want your self getting hurt you should stick with me." he snapped. She bit her lip. Why did she HAVE to do everything He says?
"Whatever." said Hermione and she left and was on her way to her first class. On her way she found Ron.
"So how is the plan going today?" asked Ron. "Fine...Who's you're new friend?" Hermione asked.
"Oh you mean Mel?" asked Ron confused as If Hermione should have known the girl her whole life.
"I don't know her name" said Hermione annoyed. "Yeah Mel she's awesome! You HAVE to meet her she is great! She reminds me of- of..."said Ron.
"Me?" asked Hermione hopefully. Why was she hoping that? Was she worried about Ron and hoped he had someone like her around or was it something else...
"What are you kidding No way!" said Ron. "Words can't describe her! She's funny and nice and not brainy." He said.
"Oh...I see" Hermione said slowly.
"We met her last night in the Gryffindor common room." said Ron. Just then Harry walked down the hall towards them.
"Hey Hermione have you heard? Ron's got a crush!" Harry said cheerfully.
"SHHH Someone could over hear you! Start calling me Emma!" hissed Hermione nervously.
"Yes I'm sure the wall will tell the whole school who you really are! There is no one down this hall but us!" said Ron.
"Whatever." said Hermione.
"SO anyway I DON'T have a crush on Mel! She is just smart and pretty and funny..."said Ron.
"You do to and you have her personality all wrong! She's like a girl you except smarter." said Harry.
"HEY" said Ron. Hermione felt uncomfortable.
"Guys...I need to get to class what if someone sees us together?" she said.
"Alright, alright man Hermione your outside has SURE changed but not you're inside, still class obsessed." said Ron and he walked off debating with Harry clearly stating that he did not have a crush on this Mel which obviously meant he did. Hermione sighed sadly and walked to class.
Hermione went to classes and sat with Draco. There first class was divination. Draco seemed to be interested in divination and she had EVERY class he had. As she entered Trelawney's room Professor Trelawney ran to her.
"Hello my dear!" she said smiling. "A new student!" Trelawney said. Firenze was rolling his eyes. The two did classes together now. Oh you stupid ugly bat why must I suffer with you Hermione thought willing Trelawney to read her mind. Of course Trelawney knew who she really was so the old bat was going to most likely be horrible to Hermione. Divination wasn't that bad she had gotten a lot of sleep to make up for last night. There next class was Potions.
"I will be paring Gryffindors and Slytherin's together." said Snape looking disgusted. Snape was just angry that Harry and Ron made it into his N.E.W.T. classes. Draco was thrilled. "Longbottom, Parkinson" he said. Neville whimpered. "Weasley, Goyle" he said. Ron groaned loudly. "Crabbe, Patil" he said. Draco raised his hand.
"SIR? Are you putting love couples together?" Draco asked smirking. "I must be Malfoy because you're with Potter." said Snape. Draco scowled. Harry groaned loudly and started banging his head against the desk.
"Potter know that a concussion won't excuse you from this class. Slytherin and Rutez." said Snape. Rutez was "Mel" as Ron called her. Hermione sighed and sat next to the girl who seemed really pleased.
"Hello!" she said.
"Aren't you the chipper one?" said Hermione coldly. Stop it what are you jealous? She yelled at her self.
"Don't worry Hermione I know it's you, Ron told me so you don't have to pretend to be mean." she whispered. This news only added to Hermione's annoyance. Ron told someone he barely knew all their plans. She supposed Mel knew all about the order. For all they knew she was spy! " All they do is talk about you I swear or at least Harry does I think he has a crush on you" said Mel all really fast. "Really" said Hermione and concentrated on her their potion. "I think you and Harry would make a cute couple!" she said. Yeah which would make your path for Ron clear Hermione thought. "I think Ron likes me but I'm not sure" said Mel. Mel isn't all that bad you just don't like her because she likes Ron but it's not her fault...its RON'S fault she told her self completely ignoring Mel. At the end of class she said goodbye to Mel and walked towards Draco.
"Nasty disgusting Gryffindorks!" she muttered. He smirked. As they walked out of the room he called to Weasley.
"Hey Weasley I see you have a new girlfriend I feel bad for her!" he yelled.
"Stuff it Malfoy" snapped Harry.
"And poor wittle baby Potter doesn't have one dwoes he? The whittle baby doesn't have anyone who cares for him except Sirius black-Oh wait he was murdered wasn't he? And it was all you're fault wasn't it?" said Malfoy. Hermione stared at him with complete hate. She didn't know how Malfoy knew that and she didn't really care. SMACK the next thing she new she had slapped him across the face as hard as she could. Draco stumbled back and looked at her in complete surprise. Everyone was staring at her. Hermione ran down the hall to get away from everyone. At this Hermione realized three things- 1. Sirius's murderer was Draco's aunt-2. Draco obviously knew a lot about the dark lord's plans if he knew this his aunt must have been feeding him information.3. She just blown her cover.
