New Rivalries, New Friendships

This first week has been a week just full of jitters and craziness for everyone. Hermione especially since she literally felt like she was going crazy because she wanted to get out of that school and she wanted to just be free of the past that she is still enduring. She felt like she was trapped in just a whirlwind of being the brains of the Golden Trio still to this day, even if she wasn't. Though it was the first week back at school and everyone was also just getting back used to the schedule that they had. It was fun for them, the eighth years where either retaking classes that they had started or they were taking new classes and just having fun. The first years up to the sixth years just felt like they were starting a new year. The ones that had been affected by the war, were also letting them know that there is help needed at the castle and just express themselves and feel free of the pain and suffering.

Hermione was lounging around in the window of the library in the eighth year quarters as she looked out the window while she paused for a moment in her working on. She was also working on a system for getting the products to students that new about her network that she had and just making sure no one got caught with it. She has almost tripled her normal product sales in the last two weeks. Mainly by eighth years needing an escape from reality, and alls they knew is that they would make the request and it would appear at the door. No one except for the few people that actually knew who the contact was had no idea it was Hermione. "How did I know I would find you in here?" Blaise said as he walked up to her and leaned against the wall where she was at. "Its either here or in the gardens or by the pool," Hermione said quietly and looked up at him, "you know that those places are my safe havens." She finished as she looked up at him. Blaise smiled as he leaned down and kissed her softly and said, "I miss you in my bed, how have your attacks been?" Hermione giggled as she looked up at him and said, "They have been minor nothing super big yet. Come to my room and I will make sure the wards will let you in." Blaise smiled as he looks at her and hugs her lights as he moves her forward a bit and sits behind her. There were whisperings going around the library about her Blaise and Draco would make an appearance doing the same thing over and over again. "So what are you working on now Mistress Zabini?" Blaise said as he chuckled at her and pulled up a book so he could be reading. "I am working on my latest piece for chronic illnesses and the effects that it has on your body, whether it is short term or long term." Hermione said quietly as she yawns lightly. She was feeling the effects of hers today, she pulled out her drink and grabbed a couple of her tramadol and popped it into her mouth. She sighed as she leaned back against him feeling the exhaustion kick in already. "Hermione if you are flaring you need to go lay down in bed." Blaise said as he looked at her noticing her cheeks and her chest were becoming bright red more so than normal. "I will be fine Blaise I just need to make it through this last couple of hours and tomorrow will be Friday and I can have peace since I don't have rounds or classes." Hermione said as she looked at him and smiled. "Well, then that means I am going to be in your bed tonight because I have tomorrow off as well." Blaise chuckled as she hugged her and then went to move. "It looks like you are going to have company and I am going to make my leave." He finished as he looked down at her and smiled. Hermione looked over and saw the gang all coming over and she sighed. "Hey guys, did you need help with your homework or something?" Hermione said with a sigh as she looked at them. "Hermione you don't look good," Ginny said as she hugged her friend in concern. "I will be fine Ginny just will be resting this weekend instead of adventuring too far." Hermione replied as she leaned against her and smiled. "Well, that sucks," Harry started as he looked at her and smiled though, "we were going to invite you to the quidditch tryouts and then to the lake for a party." Hermione laughed as she looked at him and said, "I will pass on the quidditch but if I am feeling better I will be at the party." Lavender busted out laughing as she heard this, "You at a party Puh Lease, that is the last place anyone would see stuck up prudish Hermione Granger." Lavender said right before she got punched straight in the jaw by Hermione herself. "I have had enough of your bullshit this week Lavender. First you decided that you were going to mock me for changing who I am to be happy, second you have treated me like I am the dirt from your shoe, and thirdly you have literally just brought such an annoyance to my life that I am so over it." Hermione said as she looked at her and just got up and grabbed her stuff. "Hermione Granger you are now my rival, you think that your life is hell now, just wait I will make this year your hell." Lavender shouted at her as she got up and stormed out of the library. "I would like to see you try Lavender I have bene through worse than you will know." Hermione said as she got up and put her stuff together. "As much as I would like to spend more time with you, I have your notes for you here for the subjects you need help on, and I will see you all tomorrow." Hermione said as she hugged Ginny and Hermione and started walking out of the library only to walk past Pansy who looked like she had seen a ghost. "Pansy are you okay?" Hermione asked as she looked at her. "Why do you care?" Pansy said as she looked a her and sighed trying to scratch what was on her neck off of her. "Pansy is that a curse mark on your neck?" Hermione asked as she took her hand lightly away from her to look at it. Pansy hung her head in shame as she cried to her. "I didn't want to do it, I had no choice my family forced me too." Pansy said as she looked at her, and she finally was able to force the necklace to break off her neck. Pansy gasped as she looked at her and felt like a fog had been lifted from her head, "Please I never would ask you to help me but I need your help Hermione. The new underground circle is forcing a tribal mark on the woman and they are forced to wear the marriage necklace with the mark as a curse. I am one of Goyle's many wives or woman that are promised to him" Pansy stated as she looked at her and felt the necklace attach back to her neck. "I will do what I can Pansy for now no one will know unless it is vitally important and do not make any sudden changes to how you act around me or anyone." Hermione said sternly as she looked at her and smiled. Pansy nodded and said, "Thank you I will find away to keep in contact with you." Hermione nodded as she walked out of the library and past Astoria and Daphne who looked like they were more under the control of the spell than Pansy. There was a darkness about them that you never wanted to let enter your life.

Hermione was almost to her room as she bumped into Ron on her way over there. "Hermione," Ron started as he grabbed at her arm. "What Ron?" Hermione asked as she looked at him. "I was wondering if we could talk this week?" Ron asked for the fifth time this week. "Ron no I do not want to talk." Hermione said as she continued to walk back to her room. Hermione had a reasonable week, she hung out with Harry and the gang at lunch time and when they would come study with her in the library. She would avoid Ron and Lavender like the plagues that they were to her. She dealt with some fights that had managed between her and the Slytherin Trio that were trying to be all against her, and now she is helping one. She had a schedule for helping Professor Tonks and Professor Snape. She has made it extremely easy to get her network app out for everyone to purchase products and make it to where she would give them a summoning charm for it to come to them. She literally has set up her underground network and kept up school appearances and the back lash of her change all in one week. Oh and she usually woke up with Draco somehow in her bed clothed or not clothed and they are both high as hell. Hermione smiled as she thought of those nights and shook her head. She wasn't sure if she really wanted to be with Draco or not, however, by the end of this year it was going to be decided.

Hermione got to her room and adjusted the wards so that Blaise is able to come into her room so that she is able to have some normal comfort tonight. She honestly wanted to have someone to hold onto her in the middle of the night and just to relax. Maybe her mind was getting ready to find someone that was really meant for her and not just for the things that come attached to her. She walked into her bathroom while she was thinking about this and set up her bathtub with the vanilla and rose oils that she loved so much. She put her hair up in a pony tail and started to take off her clothes and let the aromas relax her body. "You look extremely beautiful tonight." Blaise said softly as he came up and held her from behind as he took over the unbuttoning of her shirt and unzipping her skirt. "You sir are a suck up." Hermione said as she sighed and leaned back against him. She shed her clothes and stepped into the tub as she swam a bit out and put a spell on her hair so that it didn't get wet as she laid there and floated on the water. Blaise chuckled as she took his clothes off and joined her in the water. They simply just soaked in the water with a heavy make out session and soon they were drying each other off and Hermione was putting on her sweatpants and a tank top on as she watched Blaise slip on his sweatpants. He scooped her up in his arms and said softly to her "Madmoiselle I believe that it is time for some dinner in bed and a movie." Hermione giggled as she nodded and kissed him deeply as he carried her to the bed and laid her down getting on top of her. Hermione made she the wards were up as he arched into him and sighed when Blaise broke the kiss and ran his hands threw her hair. "As much as I want to ravish you thoroughly you and I both know that you need to eat and that I actually want to spend time with you." Blaise said as he kissed her forehead and summoned the food onto the bed. Hermione laid their shocked underneath him, not really sure what to say as she curled up under the covers with him and ate her pasta and salad. They turned on the first of the fast and furious movies and started binge watching it. Hours later you could hear the snoring coming from the room as they had both passed out in each others arms and were fast asleep.
