You've got mail.-Chapter 8
Hermione stared at her reflection. She had never felt this beautiful before, not even at the Yule ball. She had a floor length white and gold gown, which shimmered in the light. She had used a charm on her hair, to make it a few shades lighter. With one final inspection, she headed down to the common room.
As she entered the common room, she was welcomed by eye-popping gasps. She blushed nervously, and glanced around the room for Harry and the others. Ginny ran up to her and squeezed her hand.
"Oh 'Mione! You look positively gorgeous!" She gushed
Hermione smiled
"Thanks Gin, you look terrific yourself!…But I never knew, that you knew who the Spice Girls are!"
Ginny was dressed as Ginger spice Gerri, wearing the Union Jack dress, and huge boots.
"Oh, one of the girls in my dorm has a huge poster of them over her bed. I asked about the Red-head, and she helped me put together this costume" She said with a sly grin.
Harry and Ron walked towards Ginny in their costumes. Ron was dressed as a Ronald Mc Donald's , and Harry as Jet Li, in the Tuxedo.
"Hey Ginny, who's your frien-"
Ron's jaw dropped.
"Oh Ron, its me you silly git" Hermione laughed
"Are we ready to go?" Asked Harry.
"Yes" the chorused.
"Wait! We have to put our masks on"
Harry put a black zoro-style mask on. Ron put a Ronald Mc Donald face on. Ginny put Gerris face on. Hermione put a while porcelain face on, and headed though the portrait hole.
As Hermione descended down the stairs into the Great Hall, she felt like Belle in Beauty and the Beast. She had butterflies in her stomach, and was very nervous about meeting Darth Vader. She had the vague feeling that something bad was going to happen, but shrugged it off . Nothing possibly could go wrong tonight. But for once in her life, Hermione was wrong.
~*'''*~
Draco stared at his reflection in his full length mirror.
"I look pretty good" he thought to himself and smirked. He was wearing a black shirt, pants and cape. He was about to put his mask on when he heard a cold voice drawl.
"My, my Draco. We are looking handsome indeed this evening. Going somewhere?"
Draco turned around and came face to face with his father.
"Yes I am. I'm going to the ball. And you cant stop me!" He answered defiantly.
Lucius's mouth curled into a smile.
"Is that so?" he replied
"Yes. You cant make me Marry that bitch Pansy, or force me to join the Dark lord." Draco glared angrily.
"I do have other ways to control you" He smirked.
And before Draco could do anything, Lucius drew his wand and yelled
"Stupify!"
And Draco remembered no more.
Draco awoke shivering.
"Whaere am I?" He thought dimly.
He glanced around, and it suddenly struck him. Even in the dark, he knew what the dungeon was like.
~*'''*~
Hermione walked nervously around. She looked around for someone dressed in black, but saw no one, but Snape.
"Where is he?" She muttered.
"Dont worry 'Mione, im sure he'll turn up" Said Ginny, sympatheticly.
Hermione gave her a tight smile.
"Im sure hes just running late or something" She replied lamely.
The bad feeling she had kept growing.
"Dont be ridiculous Hermione, nothing bad is going to happen" She told herself firmly. But deep down she knew she was wrong.
"Miss Granger?"
Hermione whirled around.
"Y-yes Professor M-mcGonagall?"
"Professor Dumbledore needs to see you immediately"
And from the look on McGonagall's face, Hermione knew something was wrong.
~*'''*~
Draco rested his head against the cold, stone wall. He closed his eyes and Hermiones face played across his mind.
"Shes very beautiful.." He thought
"Wait! I cant think that , I HATE her" he thought again
He suddenly felt hate and pain, mixed with love and joy sweep over him. He felt very confused and passed out.
"Dwaco?" said a small voice
Draco awoke with a start, and looked around.
"Cathy?" He called
"Dwaco!" She squealed and flung her arms around him.
Suddenly, the room became lighter. Draco looked up to see his Mother with a flame, lighting the torches in the room.
"We came to see if you were aliv- I mean alright" said Cathy.
Cathy was a small little girl of 7, with white blonde hair pulled into pigtails, and bright blue eyes.
"Ive never been better" He answered sarcasticly.
"Fathers gone away for the night.." Said Cathy ignoring Draco's last comment. "We made you some dinner" she motioned to a House elf carrying a tray of food.
"Thanks" He answered gratefully.
There was a moments scilence
"So Pansy did her job, am I right?" Said Narcissa finally.
"What job?" He answered blankly
"You didnt get our last owl?" Asked Cathy?
"Yeah, you said you were going to try worm my way out of marriage" he replied
"No, the one we sent with fathers last owl" Said cathy.
"I only got his. Why, what was so important?" Said Draco.
Narcissa sighed.
"Your father brewed a hate potion. He sent it to Pansy, and she sliped it into yours, and Hermiones drinks"
"So thats why the drinks were foul" He thought
"When you think of Hermione, how do you feel" Asked Narcissa eyeing him tentatively.
"Er..i feel happy then I feel…hate" he answered
"He didnt swallow every drop!" Cathy exclaimed happily.
"Er..has Hermione..attempted..any sort of..violence towarts you?" asked Narcissa uneasily.
"Er..no" Answered Draco, puzzled.
"She didnt swallow every drop either" Said Narcissa with a smile.
"Let me get this straight. Father brewed a hate potion, that was suppose to make me kick Granger to death?" Asked Draco.
"The hate potion is suppose to exterminate all..nicer..feelings between the drinkers. You have to swallow every last drop, for that. And since niether of you did, and you are both under the love potion, it didnt happen. You both must be pretty confused. It can oly be broekn, when you look your true love in the eye" She finished.
They were silent for awhile until Draco spoke up.
"Mum?"
"Yes dear?" She answered
"Why did Father bring me home?"
Narcissa bit her lip.
"He wants you to marry Pansy to..produce and heir…and…"
"And?" Draco prompted.
"And.. to turn you over to you-know who. He wants to test..curses and spells on you..but.. I wont let that happen!"And she broke down, sobbing.
Cathy put her arms around her mothers neck, and Draco took his mothers hand. (A/n-Cheesy family scene)
"Mum, how can we stop it?" Asked Cathy
"Well.." said Narcissa "I think I have a way"
~*'''*~
"Ahh Miss Granger" Said Professor Dumbledore. "Please, sit down"
Trembling, Hermione sat down.
"I have some sad news for you" He said sadly. "Your parents have been killed by Lord Voldemort"
Hermione Gasped, and tears begain to roll down her cheeks.
"D-d-d'you k-know why?" she stammered.
"I am not one hundred percent sure, but my guesses are, The love potion you and Mr Malfoy are under." He answered.
"But I HATE him!" She cried
"Ahh, but you both are also under influnce of a Hate potion. I do believe Lucius Malfoy sent it to Miss Parkinson to slip into your drinks"
Hermione remembered the day when Pasny showed her the Wedding Annoucement. She must of sliped it in that day.
"But, a Hate potion can only reach its full potential, when the drinkers drink every last drop, which you two didnt. Also under the influcne of a Love potion, it couldnt possibly exterminate all feelings between you two. Natually, you two must be quite confused."
"A love hate relationship" She said sadly. "Proffesor..i have so many questions" She said with her chin quivering "W-where will I go when school finishes? W-what about t-the house? And m-my stuff? And….The funeral"
Dumbledore smiled. Your things are in your dormitory, and your house has been sold, and the money has been put into your Gringrotts account. The funeral will be on Friday, you, Miss Weasley, Mr Weasley and Mr Potter and may go. As for a place to stay..that will be sorted out by the end of the term." He said with a knowing smile.
The clock struck 12.
Hermione gasped.
"Proffesor! My email frien-" He cut her off
"There will be another ball sooner than you think" He said with a mysterious smile. "Now, I think you should get some rest, off to bed"
As Hermione crawled into bed. She closed her eyes so the tears wouldnt pour down her face. Draco Malfoy crept into her thoughts. She felt warm and happy to think of him at first, but then pain, hate and anguish washed over her.
"Its just the bloody potions" She muttered, and fell into a deep sleep.
