Hermione Never Did Die

Chapter Five

By: A. Madalong





It was raining hard...And Albert decided to park a block away from Hannah Abbot's home.

"So, what is your plan exactly?" Samantha asked.

"You mean our plan, dear," smirked Albert. "...Wait- what plan?"

"What?" Samantha gasped in disbelief. "Do you actually think you can just prance through the yellow 'Do Not Enter' lines? I can't believe this! Albert, you're going to get us in a lot of trouble!"

Albert laughed, "Where's the Ginger Spice in you, Samantha?"

Samantha looked a tad offended, if not shocked. "Excuse me?"

"Come on Sam! You gotta show those mailroom girls that there's more to you than a brain and blazer! You gotta take off your jacket, let down your hair- cause some havoc!" cheered Albert.

Samantha crossed her arms, and after a short silence said, "Alright...Well first, they will never let you through the front door, nor will those police men be welcoming to your questions. If you want the real info, I suggest we sneak through the guards and get to the actual scene."

"Samantha, I'm impressed...But how are we going to do that?"

"Well, it's a two story building, and there's a large tree in the back in front of the bedroom window. I know this for certain because I noted it when we were driving up the street behind the house. If we could sneak through the neighbour's backyard, I'm sure we can make our way into the bedroom by climbing the tree," explained Samantha.

Albert laughed in satisfaction, "You know Mr. Prissy-Pratty Editor is wasting your talent on the Literature section. You could be a real reporter Samantha. But, sneaking into the crime scene- isn't that breaking a law?...or two...or three?"

"It sure is," nodded Samantha. "But really Albert- you should let your hair down, take off your jacket- and maybe buy yourself some Spice Girls shoes."

"Alright," chuckled Albert. "You win! Only thing is, I don't think I could climb this belly up that tree! You're going to have to go alone, Samantha."

"Alone?" she echoed with a cry.

"Yep, I'll be waiting here with the get-away car! Good luck!"

"Voldemort let-"



"He let her-"

"He let Hermione Granger the Auror live!"

"Why?"

"It can't be! He hated-"

"She was a mudblood!"

"He let her live! It's true!"

"YOU IMBECILES!"



Suddenly the room of whispering Death Eaters ceased. The steady footsteps echoed through the marble room. As he walked, his glare hushed the mumbled gossips. He- also known as the Prince of Death among Death Eaters- had that intimidating effect on people. No one wanted to be on Draco Malfoy's 'bad side' after all.

"You imbeciles!" Draco again shouted. "Ranting and gossiping on like a pack of muggle women! And doubting the power of your Dark Lord! You make me sick!"

A young Death Eater fell to his knees in front of Draco, clinging to his forest green robe which fell over his black, leather pants. "Please, please forgive us!" the Death Eater plead.

Draco looked down at the grovelling Death Eater with disgust before kicking him with his steel-toe boot. "Do not touch me! You crying baboon of a traitor!"

Draco fanned his cloak out of reach from the crying Death Eater, and then addressed the entire room of Death Eaters. "That's what all of you are! Measly traitors! Do you actually think that mudblood Auror Hermione Granger showed up our powerful Dark Lord?"

"But Draco we saw her and-"

"Shut up!" snapped Draco. "You saw only what Lord Voldemort wanted you to see! Do you not think he had his reasons for doing what he did? Do you DARE question his master plan?"

"No, no, not at all," another Death Eater replied quickly. "It's just...Why would he keep her alive?"

Draco slowly walked to the Death Eater who spoke. He grinned slightly, and then in a quick moment grabbed the Death Eater from the ground by his neck- pushing him up against the marble wall.

"It is all a part of the Dark Lord's master plan," Draco hissed, spitting in the Death Eater's face. Then he threw the Death Eater to the ground, and turned to face the other Death Eaters again.

"He is using her!" Draco announced. "He is using that pathetic mudblood to fulfill his master plan! ...He is using her to kill Harry Potter."
