Chapter 17 The Beauty Awakens
Almost immediately after Hermione fainted she woke up again, and that's how she could tell her spell had worked. She tore the poem out of Aphelia's journal and searched for Draco, deciding she was going to lay a guilt trip on him before she explained about the two spells. Once again she ran into Pansy.
"Pansy, hi! What's up?" Hermione asked as casually as she could. Pansy looked disturbed.
"Draco has obviously taken something to the head! I seriously think he needs to straighten out his priority's!" and with that she hustled off. Hermione really believed that the spell had worked.
"Hey Hermione! Watch here your going sometime, will you?" sneered Draco, but his eyes lacked the usual hatred. Hermione decided to put her acting skills to the test.
"Oh its YOU! I don't want to talk to you ever again! This is ALL YOUR FAULT! READ THIS!" she said and she walked off, hiding behind a corner to see if Draco reacted like she was hoping, and he did. She could see the heart in his eyes, and she immediately walked up to him.
" I, uh, thought you never wanted to speak to me ever again?" he asked, trying to think of something smart to say to her. She smiled at him.
"I was acting! I wanted to know if the 'Cierto Enamorado Pasado Sustantivo' worked, and I can tell it did!" she added, seeing more hurt in Draco's eyes.
"So, she was telling the truth about the spell, and the sad part is I KNEW IT! I KNEW there was something wrong, I could tell by all the jealous pangs I was having, but I HAD to be the asshole that I am and tease her and ridicule her even more! That's it! WHERE is she? I want to go and apologize and tell her I believe her!" he ranted. Hermione looked taken back.
"You mean you don't know?" he shook his head, "Aphelia's been put under the Sleeping Beauty Curse! That's what made me perform this anti curse to get you back. The only way to get her awakened is by getting a person who loves her who is worthy of her love to kiss her, and at the time you were too busy making fun of her!" Hermione pointed out, but she quickly regretted it, for Draco looked soo pitiful you couldn't even put it in words. Before Hermione could apologize to him he was off towards the hospital wing. Hermione decided to follow, and didn't like what she saw.
"James? What are YOU doing here?" he snarled, his jealousy kicking in once more. Hermione kept herself out of sight.
"Taking your place at her side! After all, this is ALL your fault!" James answered. Draco hissed at him.
"What do you mean 'this is all my fault'? I didn't do anything to her!" he yelled back. That made James laugh.
"You forget, don't you? You're the one who spilt the juice and made her do a corrupt spell on herself!" James lied. Hermione did not like this guy at all.
"And what makes you think YOU are worthy of her? You must be forgetting that you are scared of her!" Draco pointed out, but james just crossed his arms.
"Oh believe ME! We made up all right, and I proved how worthy I was to her!" he said. That made Draco infuriated! He knew Aphelia wouldn't do the thing that James was implying to.
"You LIE! Aphelia would NEVER do something like that with someone who wasn't her type!" Draco yelled and he scooped Aphelia up into his arms and kissed her. He could here James yelling 'NO' in the background, and then a splitting pain hit his back, but he didn't care about that, all he was caring about was Aphelia, but he never got to see his sleeping beauties face when she had awoken, for he had fainted from the deep stab that was in his back.
