A/N- thanx to all who reviewed! Here is the next chapter!!!!!
Chapter 6- Asking
I walked slowly to the Slytherin common room. I knew the answer would
probably be "no," so why was I asking? I could get in huge trouble... I wrote a final goodbye
letter to Harry and Ron, and told Dobby to give it to them, if he didn't see me in a week. In
the letter I gave permission for Dobby to tell all, since I couldn't write it down. I knew I had
to do this. Draco would be the one in the most trouble, so I had too. I waited until the
painting opened up. I scramble inside. Just my luck, Draco was in the common room.
"Master Malfoy? I need to talk to you."
"What is it Ninny?"
"I need to talk to you in private."
"Later Ninny."
"Master! It is urgent!"
Finally! He got up and started walking to the boys dormatory. Crabbe and Goyle
were in the room. "Get out." was all he needed for the room to clear.
"What is it, Ninny?"
"I want you to go to Dumbledore and tell about me."
"And why would I do that?"
"Remember how you started to send me to kitchens? Well the house elves could
tell that I wasn't an elf. Dobby, your old elf, is friends with Harry and Ron. He told them
about me. We communicated through letters, and since I never told them about Ninny, I was
safe. Today I gave Dobby a letter, and told him to give it to Harry and Ron, if I didn't show up for
a week. The letter instructs them to go to Dumbledore, and it says exactly what happened. It
also tells the location of your house. I could have done this without telling you, but I know
you'd be as in as much trouble as I, if I was transformed. Now you have a choice, end up
being expelled from Hogwarts, or getting a whole lot of house points for helping me."
Silence followed. I shut my eyes, expecting to be sent back to the Malfoys to be
killed. Tears filled my eyes. I should have just gone with Dobby to Dumbledore. "Alright."
My eyes flew wide open. "You-you mean it sir?"
"The names Malfoy, Granger."
I jumped up and hugged him tightly around the waist, which is not really easy
when you're my size.
"Let's go to Dumbledore!"
"But- I've got class in twenty minutes."
"So will I then!"
"Fine. You owe me one."
"I think doing your chores and detentions for three months qualifies."
He started walking deeper in the dungeons. Where was he going? Oh, yes. He was
going to see Snape. He didn't know where Dumbledores office was. I could barely contain my
excitement. I was going to be free, and human! I bet Harry and Ron wouldn't believe me when
they saw me. I was shivering for the umpteenth time since I was captured, but this time it was
with excitement. Draco opened the door to potions. I grinned, Ron and Harry were getting
told off by Snape.
"Sir? I need to see Dumbledore, it's urgent."
"I'm sorry, Draco, I have class in twenty minutes."
"Sir, it's about the death eaters."
"Can it wait?"
"I know where his office is sir, but I do not know the password." Harry piped up.
"Fine, go. It's treacle pie."
We exited the classroom, Ron came with us. He kept giving me odd looks. "Is this
about..."
"Ron! We promised to her we wouldn't ask!"
"Don't worry, you can ask now. She's safe."
"Malfoy, what happened to Hermione?" Ron asked, his eyes boring into him.
"Why don't you ask her yourself?"
"I would, but there's the slight problem of her being mistaken for dead, except for
the fact that she's been writing us letters."
"She's been transfigured. No longer Hermione, nor even Herm-own-ninny, but
just plain Ninny." I said.
"Hermione?" Ron and Harry chorused.
Suddenly I felt like I was getting the crutasious curse on me again. Well, maybe
not really, but I was being squeezed tightly around the middle.
"Guys," I managed to gasp out. "Howabout we go to Dumbledore's, so my ribs
won't crack when I get hugged."
We ran as fast as we could to the stone gargoyle. As soon it jumped out of the
way I started running up the stairs, going two at a time. I reached the top long before the other
three did. Soon I'd be human.
Malfoy walked up to the door and knocked on it. Dumbledore opened the door.
Draco told him the entire story. Dumbledore looked very surprized. I didn't blame him. How
often does a dead girl turn out to be a house elf.
After the story was over, Dumbledore just said one word, pointing his wand at
me. I closed my eyes, feeling like my skin was stretching, but in a comforting way, like being
hugged. I looked down. I was human.
A/N- this is not the end! We still need to find out what will happen to Draco,
Oh, yes, I forgot to do so on some chapters, but J.K.R. owns all!
