Chapter 15 TSBC (The Sleeping Beauty Curse)
Aphelia's first week back WOULD have ended with a blast, but instead ended with a blackout. Everyone sat horrified when Aphelia had suddenly been knocked to a deep sleep, and none of them doubted it was a curse.
"is it just me or does it seem that Aphelia is getting more hits from evil people than I am?" Harry asked, a little bit of jealousy in his voice. Hermione snorted so loud that Pansy, who was sitting more than ten feet away, turned around and gawked.
"You're not telling me that you are JEALOUS that you aren't getting hit by evil are you?" Hermione asked laughing as she flipped through a spell book. She, Harry, and Ron were trying to find out what curse makes you go into deep sleep, not one of them had a clue, though Hermione had her head in the right place. She had a few ideas on what the curse might be, but she couldn't find out where it was hidden.
No, it's just that it seems maybe it should have been the GIRL who lived instead of the BOY, that's all. Doesn't it seem like everyone is trying to kill her instead of me? It's as if I am not a threat!" he complained again, and even Ron laughed that time. Pansy had informed them that she thought Draco had something to do with the curse, and even that all of the Slytherin's were very mad at him at the moment, but that she had no way of proving it was him. Hermione hadn't stalled the search for a counter curse to the hate spell on Aphelia and Draco, but she was focused more on the other one.
"HEY! What about this one?" Ron yelled. He was surprised that he could have possibly found the real curse that was put on Aphelia. Hermione abruptly took the book away from him and began to read.
"The Sleeping Beauty Curse… OF COURSE! I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN! HOW COULD I HAVE BEEN SO STUPID!" she yelled, hitting herself on the head.
"What's a Sleeping beauty?" Ron asked stupidly.
"Sleeping beauty is a muggle fairy tale about a girl who is put under a curse by the wicked witch and only by the kiss of the one person who truly loves her and who is worthy of her love shall she be awakened! Stupid I know but that's what's wrong with Aphelia, unfortunately," Hermione remembered.
"Why is this unfortunately? Harry Loves her and she loves him!" Ron pointed out. Hermione slapped the back of his head.
"No, stupid! It has to be LOVE love, not brother-sister love! And the unfortunately was because the only person that has every loved Aphelia who she loved back hates her at this moment because of ANOTHER stupid spell!" Hermione added.
"You mean Draco don't you?" Ron asked stupidly yet again. Hermione gave a mock sigh.
"DUH!" she said as she stalked off to get more books from the library. She realized this was going to take more than she had EVER imagined.
