Disclaimer: I only own this
story and plot, everything else belongs to some rich person.
Summary: Draco will not give
back Hermione's dragon pendant, instead he decides to keep it for some uses of
his own.
Chapter 4: Trouble!
" Hermione, What happened?
You look even more worn out then usual." Ron said, chewing on his toast.
"Nothing, I didn't have a
good night's sleep, that's all." Hermione said sleepily.
" But look at those bags
under your eyes." Harry pointed out.
' Oops, should've borrowed
Lavender's make up…' she thought.
They continued eating their
breakfast, when they heard Lavender and Parvati whispering to each other and
taking glances at Hermione.
"Why do u keep looking at
me?" Hermione asked, completely oblivious of the fact that she had had a
tantrum the day before.
"Nothing, its just that we
were wondering why you had a tantrum yesterday, and to make it worst you came
back to our dorm at 2 am in the morning, we're getting worried about you."
'As if they would worry, all
they care about is themselves and all they do is gossip and spread rumors.'
Hermione thought to herself, starting to dislike them more and more every
second.
"What the? No wonder why
you've been like this everyday, you haven't been sleeping, or eating properly.'
Ron was getting very anxious. 'At this rate you'll be at Madame Pomfrey's
quicker then you say ' Wicked!'"
"I'm okay guys, I just need
to get my act back together," Hermione said, "then I'll be fine."
"You'll be fine?" someone
drawled from behind her. "I don't think so."
"Go away you ugly prick,"
Hermione said with all her hate building even higher then it already was. "Take
you and your stupid followers to somewhere where people actually welcome you."
"Doesn't anyone welcome me
here?"
"No! Go away!" Hermione was
ready to hex him if he didn't get away in 10 seconds.
" Well if they don't, why
are all the other 'normal' Gryffindor sluts gawking at me like they just saw
the first ever good-looking guy for the first time?" he was thinking how they
would all die for him in bed with them. 'Like that was ever going to happen,
I'm not going to dirty myself by sleeping with all these ugly pancake faced
Gryffindors.' He thought.
'What a freaking big ego! But
come to think of it, the girls are seriously staring at him. Guess his ok
looking, but I'd just love to kill him right now, if he says one more things to
insult me then I swear I'm gonna hex him!'
Draco turned to go as if he
knew what she was thinking.
On the way he turned and
said "Hey, Mudblood, meet me at the library at lunch." And walked out of the
Great Hall.
'If only he walked a little
slower he'd have worms squirming out of him!!!' Hermione thought, how dare he
call her Mudblood, even though he had said it a million times before, she had
never gotten used to it.
"What was that about?" asked
Harry
"Yeah! Like anyone would
want to be with him!" Ron said jealously, hearing all the other girls going on
about how hot he was.
"Nothing, prefect business,
that's all." Hermione said while hurriedly packing her things. "Let's go to
class, there's only 3 minutes and charms is on the other side of the school!"
At that, the three left the
hall heading for their first class of the week.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
'Where the hell is that
Mudblood?' Draco thought angrily to himself. He had been standing outside the
library for nearly 10 minutes.
"Malfoy! Thought I'd be here
before you but I guess you skipped lunch." She said, looking much happier then
in the morning.
"Mudblood, stop smiley like
some stupid idiot." He didn't like staring at his enemies when they were
smiling.
At the word Mudblood, all
the happiness in her face had disappeared and was now replaced with a very
angry glare.
'At least that stopped her
smiling,' Draco thought, but looking at someone's glare that was the same as
your own could get quite uncomfortable too.
He looked away.
"What did you call me for?"
asked Hermione even though she knew it was about her pendant.
"You know what its for so
there's no point acting like you don't know."
"Fine! I admit I know what
this is about, you stole MY pendant and now your saying it's yours. What do you
want me to do so that you'd give it back?" she was getting desperate. She
remembered once her grandma had said that the pendant was not allowed to be
read by anyone other then Hermione or it would dissolve into dust if no one
returned it back to its owner in time. She'd have to get it back, quick. But
how? There was only 10 more minutes to the end of lunch.
"Granger, if you want it
back then…" Draco looked smug that Granger was going to be his slave. But
suddenly, Hermione took her wand out and pointed at him.
"Cantalkatius!" she yelled
making him shut up. "Expellarimus!" she shouted straight after the first spell.
Draco was in a heap on the
floor on the other side of the hall. He stood up. And open his mouth to say "If
that's how you want it." But forgot that he couldn't talk, because of the first
spell.
Hermione came over to him
and searched his robes for the pendant. But it wasn't there.
"Tell me where it is!"
strangling him on the cold hard stone ground. He was making these funny actions while pointing at his mouth. There was
a crowd forming but Hermione didn't notice.
''Talkatiusous! Now talk you
fucking git!" Hermione was raging.
"I'm not saying anything you
fucking Mudblood!" Draco was raging as well. Not only had she ruined his
reputation he had also hexed him, Making him look like an idiot. 'She is gonna
pay!'
"Salnarius!" snails were now
crawling all over her body and to top it off he said. "Termitus!" Now termites
were hungrily biting away on her wand and it was gone in less then 5 seconds.
"Mr. Malfoy! Stop all this
at once. Ms Granger I'm very disappointed." Prof. McGonagall had come storming
in along with Snape. 'Why are they always together when trouble happens?'
Hermione thought in among all the snails and termites.
"Granger 100 points off your
house, Malfoy, I'm sorry to say but 50 points off!" Snape snapped. But Hermione swore he was happy about all of
this. After all, all he cared about was himself and when others were in
trouble' Hermione thought.
"Follow us! This has to be
taken to Prof. Dumbledore's Office." Prof McGonagall stared at them with a
firm-commanding glare. "I'm sure he will not be happy to know about what a mess
you have both produced!"
McGonagall turned and
started walking. Draco looked at Snape who glared at him. He took that as a
WALK! Look. He followed McGonagall with Hermione and Snape following at his
heels through the gap in the crowd and down the corridor.
The walk seemed to take
forever, no one had said a word and both Draco and Hermione knew that they'd be
in deep shit.
Suddenly they stopped
abruptly at a stone gargoyle. They
watched as Prof. McGonagall muttered something to it.
Next they saw the gargoyle
spring to life. Then it stepped aside, letting the wall behind it silently
split open, leaving just enough space for one person to squeeze through.
Next they found themselves
on moving spiral staircase leading to a wide-open area. There was an archway
leading to a mini looking library, with many ornaments on the towering shelves
that made the walls. On one side there was a beautiful phoenix perched on top of
a mini tree.
"Well, what do we have
here?" Dumbledore's head popped up from behind this huge pile of books.
"These two have been causing
a big commotion in the corridors, and have not only …" Snape got cut off.
"I already know Severus."
Dumbledore said." What I want to know is why they got themselves into such a
mess." Looking towards the two.
" well…….um………" Hermione
couldn't think of anything. 'why couldn't I hold my temper?' 'now I'm in
trouble all because of the stupid brat.'
"We were just practicing
some new spells." Said a very unconvincing Draco.
"Severus, Minerva. May you
two leave for your classes. I'm sure there are many students eagerly waiting
for you." The two Prof. obeyed and reluctantly walked out, still wanting to see
the punishments.
"Well, no point lying Mr.
Malfoy" said Dumbledore sitting down on his big leather chair. " I know that
you two have not gotten that well these past years. In fact, I think that it
has gotten so bad that everyone knows." The twinkle in his eyes left as he
began to become serious.
The two sat in the chairs
opposite the headmaster, with their heads down avoiding Dumbledore's gaze.
"Now since Voldermont is
rising we will have to work together. Remember that together we can fight
anything but divided we shall not succeed"
Dumbledore looked at the two
heads and continued. "That is' why I will be giving you this punishment along
with your loss of house points."
Hermione was dreading this
moment. 'What if I get suspended or worse, expelled?' she was squeezing her
hands so tightly that they were snow white.
She looked at Malfoy who
also seemed to be sweating heavily.
"You two are one of our best
students at Hogwarts and we cannot afford you two to no cooperate with each
other in times of trouble." He continued. "That is why I think it is best that
you two learn to be friends, and that is also why I shall be putting you under
a spell that shall help you two to become fiends."
"Wh..wh..what is the spell?"
Hermione stuttered.
"You shall know eventually,"
he was looking at his clock, it was right now 'Reading time'. "I will call you
out after dinner so that the spell may be casted. And it will have no counter
curse as it is only I who knows how to remove the spell."
'This is not going to be
good.' Draco thought. Looking over at Hermione whose hands were very white and
she seemed to be biting her lip nervously as well.
"That is all I have to say."
Dumbledore stated. "You may be dismissed, and I have decided that you shall
have all the remaining classes cancelled for the day."
And at that, the two left,
walking very slowly, hoping that time would go as slowly as they were walking.
A/N was it ok? Don't have
much to say except that the punishment/spell will be revealed next chapter.
(The spell will not be removed for a very long time.)
