Hello everyone, I really hope you are enjoying this story. I need ideas on the plan Draco had. I know I should be knowing these things ,as the author ,but I am really confused which one to pick. Either, we go along with the Horcrux plan ,where Draco and Hermione shall destroy Horcruxes OR we go along with a muggle bomb plan ,where Draco and Hermionie need to get hold of a bomb and blow up Voldemort ,because Horcruxes do not work when muggle technology is involved. Please vote in the reveiws. If you have another idea about Draco's plan, I will be more than happy to accept that idea as well. Simply write it in the reveiws below. Thankyou!
Hermione woke up first the next morning and proceeded to explore her room. She had not had time last night ,as her mind was too worked up to do anything. It was the size of a normal sized room with a window looking out to the sea beyond. It was a lovely view ,Hermione had always enjoyed watching the sea splash on the shore and then retreat ,in her childhood. It calmed her down and allowed her to think. She wandered around the room ,taking in the beautifully white paint on the walls and the maroon and gold table in the corner ,until she reached the bookcase. It was filled with books. Almost all of them, she registered had been enlisted to them at school ,except for a few potions and healing books which lay on the highest shelf. She found a gold-threaded book of Hogwarts a History. Hermione was craving to read them ,but she wanted to explore her room as well. Knowing that she will have the afternoon to make a start on them, she allowed her eyes to wander. They settled on a ceiling-high mahogany wardrobe. Damn it! I forgot to bring some clothes. She opened the wardrobe expecting to see it empty and perhaps a bit dusty ,but what she saw made her take two steps back. 10 beautiful witch's robes were hanging in the cupboard. Each felt like silk and were threaded with either silver or gold thread. They were in various different colours. One was emerald green with silver fastenings; another was maroon with golden fastenings. Hermionie smiled. Draco would always impose his own house colours upon others. Hermionie checked the time. She had 20 minutes before she would have to go downstairs. Enough time to try on a few outfits. Hermionie reached into the wardrobe and caught hold of the emerald green robes. Did it have to be Slytherin? Sighing, she tried it on. It fitted her perfectly. She wondered how Malfoy would've found out what size she was. She twirled around in front of the mirror in her room ,admiring the way Slytherin colours looked on her. Suddenly a silver stag came up to her out of nowhere.
"Hermione! Where are you? Are you alright? I need to talk to you urgently about your case on Malfoy!" The stag disappeared in a puff of smoke. Oh no! I am not supposed to meet you yet. Hermione was fretting. Why did Harry want to talk her about Malfoy? And this early in the morning? Did someone see him walking into her house last night?
Hermione jumped as Draco knocked on her door. "Hermione, are you alright I thought I heard someone talking" Hermione opened the door and allowed Draco in.
"It was Harry, he sent me a patronus and wants to talk to me urgently about the your case" Hermione rushed ,sitting down on the edge of her bed ,while Draco sat on a chair. Draco paled considerably.
"Y-You're working on my case" he felt stiff ,was she going to turn him in.
"Yes, thankfully, if someone else had been running it, it would've meant that I would have to feed them false information discreetly and make them beleive the information. Now, all I have to do is not work and make up some false information to tell the public and write in my reports" Hermione recited
"So you're not going t turn me in?" Draco was shocked "Even now that you know the plan and can do it all by yourself?"
"No, I don't think so ,though it's a good threat to keep you going" Hermione chuckled "And you know I won't be able to do it without your help. Who will be the spy from inside his inner circle?"
"Yes, that's true" Draco reassured himself. "So are you going to meet Potter now"
"Yes, I think that will be ideal for him and me. I shall cut across him while he is talking about your case and introduce the idea of Voldemort getting defeated." Hermionie started pacing around the room ,just like she did when she was anxious. "I hope he accepts it. I mean, being Harry, he will probably do it for the wizarding world. But what if he doesn't, then what will happen. How are we supposed to carry on? All this stands on my shoulders!"
"Calm down ,Granger" Draco watched ,amused, as she perched on the edge of her bed and held her head in her hands. "Just go and see Potter. I'm sure he will accept if you say it nicely. If you need me to interfere then simply send a patronus."
"Alright. I'm ready for this." Hermione got up and picked up her beaded handbag ,turning it silver to match the fastenings on her new robes.
Then ,just as she was going to apparate, Malfoy smirked and shouted after her "Slytherin colours really suit you ,Granger, did I ever tell you that?" Blushing profusely, Hermione turned away from the flattering Slytherin and with a pop disappeared into thin air. Draco stared at the place where she had vanished for a few seconds before he heaved himself off the comfy chair and trudged downstairs to prepare a small feast for when Potter came to his house.
Hermione landed clumsily outside Number 12 Grimmauld place and stumbled inside. She was still pondering the compliment Malfoy had given her before she had disapparated. Did he really mean it? Why was he being so kind to her? Why did he buy her these robes ,which must have cost a fortune, for her? Before she could try and figure out any answers, two bodies hugged her. One was a red-headed girl and another a black-haired boy.
"Thank goodness! Harry would have sent a search party if you had not come within the next 5 minutes." Ginny gave Hermione a squeeze before stepping back and beaming at one of her best friends.
"Well, I had to be careful. I came to your house yesterday in the evening and you didn't answer. When I looked through your bedroom window, I could've sworn I saw a flash of pale blonde hair before it vanished. I thought the worse ,but reassured myself that I had imagined it. But when you hadn't come to office today, I got worried and sent you a patronus instantly ,making something up about Malfoy's case ,so if you were captured by death eaters they won't suspect that I know anything" Harry said this all very quickly. Hermione faked a smile and asked whether Ginny had quidditch trials today.
"Yes I do ,in fact, I am late. I was fretting about your safety. See you later!" Ginny quickly waved and disapparated after summoning her broom. Sighing, Hermione lead the way to the kitchen. Grimmauld place had changed significantly since Harry had started living there with Ginny. Ginny ,who simply had Quidditch trials 3 a week, gave the house a proper makeover. The place was almost unrecognisable. The walls were painted white instead of the dull black and every single piece of furniture had been replaced or painted. Hermione was not paying attention to Ginny's handiwork.
"Harry, I need to talk to you about something" Hermione was staring at her knees ,while sitting at the dining table drinking a mug of steaming hot coffee.
"Will this explain the pale, blonde hair in your bedroom and your reasoning for not coming to work today" Harry asked ,staring at Hermione suspiciously. Hermione nodded.
"Let's hear the worst" Harry took a sip from his mug as Hermione started.
"Harry, I want you to imagine a world with no Voldemort or Death Eaters" Hermione watched as Harry's face showed bliss and peace.
"What would you do to give that to the wizarding world?" Hermione asked nervously.
"Anything" Harry answered without hesitation
"Okay, let me reframe my question, what would you not do to give that to the wizarding world?" Hermione watched as Harry furrowed his brow in thought.
"Allow my friends to die for me" Harry looked at Hermionie questioningly "Why?"
"Would you associate with your worst enemy and give them freedom just to get Voldemort defeated?" Hermione asked again. Harry looked confused ,but then his eyes widened in understanding.
"No -Hermionie -you didn't -Draco Malfoy?" Harry looked at Hermione as if she had gone crazy. Hermione didn't respond.
"Did you or did you not ask Draco Malfoy for help to make a plan to defeat Voldemort?" Harry was getting angry ,Hermione could sense dangerous waters.
"No Harry I would never go and ask him for help. In fact," Hermione smirked a smirk worthy of a Malfoy "he came to me"
"What!" Harry choked on his coffee.
Hermione explained what had happened last night. Harry listened in awe as Hermione laid out the facts for Harry to see.
"So you need me to cooperate with Malfoy to defeat Voldemort?" Harry asked ,incredulously. "Hermione, are you alright? You do remember mine and Malfoy's past ,don't you?"
"Yes of course ,but it is the only way to accomplish Malfoy's plan. Apparently anyone else who tries will be killed." Hermione stated "So will you do it?" Hermione watched as a tidal wave of emotions passed through Harry's eyes. Confusion. Fear. Anger. Arrogance. Adamance. Bravery. Confidence...
"And if I don't accept you shall obliviate me and I shall remember none of this conversation?" Harry confirmed.
"Yes, but that is simply to keep you safe and to make sure you don't try and accomplish the plan yourself. You need a spy from inside Voldemort's inner circle to take care of all the 'What if's" Hermione explained ,before asking Harry nervously "So...?"
"I'll do it" He finally said
