CHAPTER 3

She hadn't very far to fall for she had only been sitting up in the stone coffin, but the instant
she did Snape Dumbledore and Flitwick all rushed to her side to try and lift her up again.
Dumbledore for one of the few times in his life hadn't the slightest clue to do. Her turned to
Hermione. " would you be able to take her to the Gryffindor common room tonight. She'll need
another girl to be around I suppose. The others are already away on Holiday so you needn't worry
about them." he turned to Harry and Draco, "You may all go back to your room now."
Draco spoke up in protest " But Sir!"
"Draco don't worry, we'll have you, and Harry and Hermione back here in the morning. You
will all be excused form classes, because I do believe that she'll need some familiar faces. Now, Off
to bed!"
"Yes sir."

~~~~

A few minutes later Harry and Hermione were walking up to their common room with
Dumbledore by there side. They need someone with them if they were to be wondering the halls at
night. The only people who had that sort of freedom were the Head Boy and Girl, and they were
only prefects. Geray was lying in mid-air next to them.
The group of them had been quite the whole way up until Dumbledore broke the mood.

"I don't want a word of this to anyone. I'll set up a private room for her tomorrow, well actually later
today I guess. But I'll give you two and Draco and the teachers the password so that the same
friendly faces are around her all of the time." Harry wanted to question Dumbledores idea that
Draco had a friendly face, but the Headmaster always knew best. " I don't even want you two
telling Mister Weasley about this. It's private affairs." They shook there heads but were both
thinking the same thing. How could you keep something this big from Ron? Dumbledore continued
" During Breakfast tomorrow I'll send Professor Snape up to your tower and he'll escort you two and
Geray to her new courters, oh, we're here" He said as they reached the portrait of the pink lady.
"Godric" Dumbledore mumbled and the painting swung open.
They all stepped in to the empty room, except for a small first year asleep on a couch
drooling on a transfiguration book. Hermione lead them up to the 6th-year girls room and let them
in. As Dumbledore said, it was completely empty with the exception of, Crookshanks who was
sleeping Hermiones bed.
"We'll keep her here for the night. Remember, not a word to Anyone. It shouldn't be that
hard. There are only a few people here over the break." And with that he walked out of the room
leaving the two to their own devices.
"We should get her on the bed right?" Harry asked
"Yeah" said Hermione. She seemed very out of it, but lifted Geray out of the magical
stretcher and let her drop to one of the empty beds near her own. She started walking around the
room as if looking for something.
"What's Up Herm?"
"Oh" She said as if she was startled, "It's just that I haven't anything for her to sleep in. Do
you think we should just leave her like that?" She said motioning to the sleeping princess. Harry
was dumbfounded. He didn't have the slightest idea what to do about clothes. Hermione was the
girl. He most likely couldn't even figure out how to get that huge dress off of her.
"I dunno"
"Your no help. I guess I''ll just leave her like that." She said has she started towards her
own bed. She turned around and looked at Harry. "You know, I can't ever get to sleep if you don't
leave"
"Oh! right" He said and turned to go out the door.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next morning Harry was woken by fire dancing over his sleep filled eyes. "What is it?" he
said groggily had Ron continued to shake him.
" Breakfast O smart one." He said in a joking manner. "Come on sleepy head. The toast will
be cold if we don't get down there soon."
" I don't care Ron, I just need sleep" Harry said barely able look up while he was speaking
for he was so tired. He rolled back over and flung his arm out looking for the curtain to pull shut.
Ron, slightly offended by this huffed off and muttering "Fine suit yourself, I don't care if you starve
to death I'm just trying to wake the great Potter up. Mhffff......" and that continued all the way to the
Great hall.
As soon as he was out of the room Harry rolled back over and opened his curtains again.
Maybe he would lye there until Hermione came to get him. Nah, he could here her moving about in
the other room she he got out of bed and got ready to start this new and exciting day that lay
ahead of him. 'oh woo-whoo' he though in a very unhappy tone. Harry wasn't to thrilled that
Dumbledore had left Him and Hermione escorting this girl around, he'd rather spend his holiday
doing nothing, and playing Wizard Chess in front of the fire, while Ron beat him, and Hermione
tutted over some gigantic book.
Harry, dressed and ready to go, knocked on the girls room door to see if they were both
awake yet. Hermione answered the door and looked at Harry then quickly looked around the
common room to see if anyone was left.
"Ok, come in, are Ron and Dean awake?"
"Yeah, but they're down at breakfast, speaking of which, are we going to go to that anytime
soon?"
"No, we have stuff to do" She pulled him into the room where Geray was still sleeping "You'd
think that after being asleep for so long she would, you know, wake up." Hermione said a little
agitated
"Herm, you have to give her a break, it was an enchanted sleep, so she never knew she was
asleep, You saw her last night, she thought that everything in her past, happened yesterday, I would
be very confused wouldn't you?"
She looked at Harry. He always seemed to be right about things like this. Maybe he had a
better heart then her, but he was always good to others and thought of everyone before himself.
Sometimes she wished he wouldn't and look at himself for a moment. He still held the weight of
everything on his shoulders, always taking apon himself, what others should have to worry about.
He had always blamed himself for his Parents Death, and Cedrics, but he would never admitt it.
"Alright.... Do you think we should wake her up? I mean Dumbledore said during breakfast,
and breakfast should be over sometime soon."
"Yeah, didn't he say he'd meet us or something?"
"No, he said Snape would meet us."
"Oh good, just what I like to start my day off with."
"Come on" she said as she tried to wake Geray. "Get up!! Get up, I'm not in the mood to try
and wake you all day, I have things to do!!"
"Calm Down Herm, She's been through a lot. "
Hermione looked at him again. He was right. She had been through a lot. She should be
kinder, but Hermione didn't like the idea of being the little cronies of some Princess and having to
miss her classes. Maybe this princess would be gone by the time classes started again. Maybe she
had nothing to worry about.
Hermione looked back to the sleeping girl. She had started to shift in her sleep. Gerays
eyes stated to blink again, fluttering those eyelashes and letting her big green eyes peer onto the
world.
"Good morning" Hermione said quietly so not to disturb her. Geray looked around at her
new surroundings. It wasn't at all like the room she was in last night. This room had many beds,
and wardrobes, the room last night looked a bit like her father's office.
"How did I get here?" She asked softly.
"Oh, well, last night you fainted, so we brought you up to Hermiones room, so you would
have somewhere to sleep. That coffin didn't look to comfortable." Harry said, tying to lighten the
mood
"I wish to understand more about what I heard last night. About Geruff, and My castle. I
wish to know what this all means."
"Oh, well I can't tell you that right now, I don't really know. Harry we're going to have to
spend some time in the Library."
"Of course. When don't we?" Harry said his mood hadn't lightened in the least. Just then
he heard a knock on Hermiones door. He turned around to see Snape standing there, with what
looked like the start of a smile.
"Well, everybody up, we have to get the princess to her new room." He said almost
cheerfully, then he turned back to the familiar snarl that everybody knew him by, " Come along,
Potter, Granger."
They all started out of the room when Harry turned to Geray. "Shouldn't she wear robes or
something, so not to attract attention"
"Well Potter, that is why I brought Dumbledores Cloak along with me." Snape said as he
pulled The silver thing out from the pocket of his robes. "Geray my dear" He said Kindly " Will you
please put this on so that no one shall see you"
"Why of course good sir" she said very politely. She had been brought up to be polite to
everyone. What she didn't know was that this man didn;t deserve her kindness. She slipped the
cloak over her and Harry made a grab for her arm.
"Just so we don't loose you" He said to nothing.
The four of them left the tower and headed down towards the Hall. When they got to the
hall, they turned towards where the kitchens were and actually passed right by them. The continued
down the hall until the reached a small spiral flight of stairs. They went up and after a minute or so
got to a landing that posed another hallway. The first picture on their left was a castle of long ago.
There was a princess up in a tower of the castle screaming like no tomorrow, but it was magically
muffled. She was screaming in fright of the giant Dragon at the gate to the castle. Geray looked at
the picture huffily.
"I could take that thing any day of the week" She said showing another side to her many
personalities. whipping the cloak off, she took out her sword that was still at her hip and pointed it
at the dragon. "Leave the girl alone before I cut you to pieces." The dragon snarled and walked out
of the frame to go and frighten a small farm town in the picture to the right. "I just couldn't handle a
screaming entry way" she said.
"Snuffbox" Snape said and the portrait opened up to a lovely room filled with the finest
things one could imagine. It was circular, like a tower room, and looked over the grounds. There
was a giant four poster on one side of the room, and a wardrobe on the other. There was a fire
place roaring near the bed and carpets lined the floor. There was a couch and a few squashy
chairs near the hearth of the fire. It was like a common room, and a bedroom crashed into each
other, and added some class.
"I'll send a tutor up to you to help you with your magic. We want you to learn and catch up
with others your age. Potter, Granger, stay" and Snape turned and left the room
"Gosh, we're not dogs" Hermione said grumpily when Snape was gone
"Herm, do you think that Dumbledore is planning on inducting Geray into a house or
something?"
"I am right here" Geray said "Would you please explain more to me about what happened
last night?"
"I told you I can't" Hermione said "You know something, I'm going to go to the library. Harry
you stay here and occupy her. I have to look this up." Hermione like Snape before her, turned and
left the room
"Somebody has a stick up there ass" Geray said. Harry turned and looked at this girl who
just revealed another side to her, the crude side.
"Yeah, I don't know what her problem is, she normally isn't this bad" Harry paused for a
moment. He should find some stuff out about her if he was going to be spending all of his time with
her. " So, how old are you?"
"Well, according to your headmaster, I could be centuries old, I honestly don't know."
"Oh, well, how old were you before this happened?"
"I was sixteen, actually, I had just turned sixteen and my father was throwing a birthing-day
dinner for me. I remember!! Mother had given me my sword, and father gave me-" She reached
down her dress and pulled up a small vile on a chain that contained a green pixie. "He gave me
her" She said in a solemn voice
"Your Father?" Harry asked
"I can remember now. I can remember everything, even things I'd rather not remember.
Could you go?" she was very quiet as she stared into the vile.
"What? Oh, sure, do you want to be alone?"
"Very much so. I need to remember. I need my memories. Go" she said in a firm, but soft
voice, it was a voice of authority, but this normally strong voice was falling apart, and didn't want
anyone to know. She had to stay strong, she always had before.
Harry left the quiet girl alone in her room in the castle that used to be hers. As soon as he
stepped outside Draco was standing there about to open the portrait hole. They glared at each
other for a moment and then it was Harry who spoke up.
"She doesn't want to see anyone" he said coolly " She started to remember things and
wants to be alone"
"Fine Potter, then I guess I'll leave" He stood there for a moment and spoke up again, but
this time dropping his tuff-guy attitude and really revealing the real Draco, the one who cared about
things other than himself. "Is she going to be alright?"
"Yeah Draco, she's fine" Harry said nicely. He realized that was one of the first times he had
called him by his first name. They both walked down the spiral stairs again in silence.

~~~~~~~

Hermione sat in the back of the library with a book big enough to be a boat on her lap. She
flipped through the pages, her eyes darting from fact to fact, looking for something that might be
helpful. She looked up for a brief moment to see Harry and Draco walk in together acting civilized.
She had never said anything to Harry or Ron, but she had a crush on him that started the first time
he pushed past her on the Hogwarts express. She was amazed to see them together. He best
friend and the guy she had secretly adored for the past six years.
Harry saw Hermione in the back, and motioned for Draco to come with him. They walked in
silence to the giant comfy chair in the back of the room that Hermione occupied. Harry and Draco
both sat down on the chairs beside her.
"Herm, Draco is going to help us with whatever you are looking up. We're both really
worried about Geray. She just started to remember things and doesn't want anyone to see her
right now."
"Well alright, I'll tell you what I think. I think that there is something with her family.
Something she may not even know. You guys saw how Snape, Flitwick and Dumbledore looked last
night when she was telling them about her past."
"Well, actually I don't. I was watching her the entire time." Harry said
"Typical guy you are" Hermione said "Anyway, I think that there is something about her
parents or the Court Wizard that the Teachers aren't telling us."
"Of, well, I can buy that, but what do we look for?" Draco asked. He sounded so normal, like
he was a friend of theirs or something. Both Harry and Hermione were a little shocked seeing him
act so friendly towards them. It was almost like another Draco had taken over his body.
"Well, we'd be looking for anything about North Castle, or her, or her family members. To
bad she didn't tell us her last name. So we'll be looking for Dredroli and Geruff, and that's about it.
Sorry I don't have much more to go on."
They all grabbed a nearby history book and started to flip through the pages. Draco kept
looking over his should to make sure that nobody saw him hanging with a bunch of Gryffindors.
Come to think of it, he didn't really care. He'd been waiting for an opportunity like this for the past
three years. He had overheard his father talking to somebody' head in a fire saying that the only
reason his son was any use and he didn't kill him on the spot was that he needed someone close to
Harry Potter to watch him for the Dark Lord. Luckily he hadn't sworn allegiance yet. He didn't have
to for another year. He didn't have that horrible plague on his arm yet. He still didn't know how he
would worm out of that when the time came. All Draco could think of was how much he hated being
his fathers pawn. Maybe he would pay him back by being friends with the one person he hated
more than anything. A few years ago he had a talk with Snape. He was a good guy that Draco
could trust. He had once been and Death Eater, he knew how to get away. He was Dracos mentor.
But Snape had also told him why the world needed good people. Why the world needed heros.
Draco came to respect those in Gryffindor. He actually had wondered how his life might be different
if he was one of them instead of a Slytherin. He would be a hero like Harry, he could be kind and
loving like Ron, he could be closer to Hermione. He had liked her only recently. When he saw how
beautiful she had looked at the Yule ball, when he had used the Polyjucie Potion last year to spend
an Hour with her in the Gryffindor common room as Harry. She had no idea. She hated him anyway,
but maybe this was the chance he needed.
They had sat in the back of the Library for what seem like hours of flipping through giant
books. The chairs they were sitting in started to mold into their shapes. They would have brought
some of their books up to the common room, but with Draco, they just couldn't. The librarian was
starting to clean up for the night when Ron walked in. Hermione was the first to notice, but it was
too late, for he had spotted them.
"What are you guys doing? I've been looking for you all day. I should have known you were
here. What's he doing here?" Ron said while motioning to Draco.
"There weren't any other seats left." He said off the top of his head
"What are you talking about!! This place is almost empty!!" Ron yelled. Hermione shushed
him and tried to explain without leaking any information.
" Harry, Draco, and I are researching something"
'Well, why do you need his help? Why didn't you call me? What are you looking for better
wizards or something. No white trash allowed? Huh? Is that what you want!!! Fine!!! I don't care!
You hang out with the little dungeon rat, but let me tell you!!!! Neville would have made a better
partner than this scumbag!!!" Ron screamed as he ran out of the library. The rest of the people in
the room were all looking at the group, as Draco started to sink into his chair.
"What is up with him?" Draco asked. He would have gotten up and punched him, but
Hermione was sitting right there, and he had started to make friends with Harry, if you could
possible be friends with someone who had been your enemy for so long.
"He's been having odd mood swings lately. This morning even he was going off how he was
the servant of the great Harry Potter. He's daft." Hermione said
"Yeah, I think I heard him say something like that when he was tying to wake me up. He was
going on about how I was ungrateful to all of the things that he dose for the world or something
stupid like that." Harry said
"Maybe we should talk to him Harry"
"Maybe but I-"
"I found it!!! I think I found something!!" Draco called out.
"Sshh" Hermione reminded him. And the odd group they had form started reading about
Sleeping Beauties Past.
