The two walked hand in hand to Dumbledore's office.
"Lemon meringue," Draco said to the gargoyle, which began turning, stairs now appearing. Hermione walked up, pulling Draco behind her. Hermione ran up to Dumbledore's desk; then looked at Draco.
"Is there any way that Hermione can hear again? Any way? And, how can she perform spells?" Draco began questioning.
"Well, I was just working on the hearing part," Dumbledore said as he pointed to what looked like headphones. "The headphones will let her talk, too, so she can perform spells. I am almost done with it."
"Good," Draco said while Hermione smiled. "When will it be finished?"
"Just one finishing touch. Patience, Mr. Malfoy," Dumbledore did not look up and continued working on it. A few minutes later, he looked up and handed the object to Hermione, who put it on.
"Can you -" Dumbledore was cut off.
"I can hear! And speak!" she exclaimed. She was quite happy.
"Now listen, Hermione. They only work for an hour at a time, and need to sit for two and a half hours to recharge. Do you understand?" Dumbledore said.
"Yes," she said.
"Good, have a nice day," Dumbledore dismissed them. Hermione skipped out of his office. She got many strange looks from people, but she did not care, she could hear again! She continued skipping down the halls and found Harry. Draco was running to catch up to her.
"Hey!" she exclaimed; which turned a few heads. Everyone knew she was deaf and she was now Mrs. Malfoy.
"Hey," Harry said slowly, thinking she could speak, but not hear.
"Why are you talking so slowly?" she asked slowly, then laughed.
"Because... You are deaf..." he trailed off.
"Yea, but you didn't wonder why I have headphones on? They help me hear," she said happily.
"Oh!"
"Hey Hermione," Draco paused to breathe, "Can we go back to the room?"
"Okay," Hermione said, and took Draco's hand. Hermione waved to Harry as she and Draco walked back to their room. They got to the common room, and Chris and Andrew were playing Wizard's Chess.
"Queen to A5," Chris said.
"Hey guys! Bishop to A5," Andrew said.
"Knight to D6," Chris paused, "Checkmate!"
"Hm... No fair, you always win!" Andrew exclaimed.
"Life's unfair, cousin. So, what's up Draco? And what's with that thing on Herm's head?" Chris asked, but looked down when he said 'Herm.'
"DO NOT CALL ME HERM!" she screamed.
"How did she know I said that?" Chris looked to Andrew, who shrugged.
"I can hear, you arse," she shook her head disapprovingly.
"WHAT?!" he screamed. Hermione pointed to the headphones and smiled.
"Now, you won't talk behind my back, will you?" she said sweetly and innocently as she sat down next to him, smiling.
"No... No, I won't!" he knew she was very powerful, he'd best not make fun of her at that point in time.
"Good!" Hermione said enthusiastically and got up smiling as Draco laughed. She grabbed his arm and walked into their room. They both quickly changed and got into bed.
AN - I write a lot more when I'm pissed, I suppose. My dad had d/c me for not hearing him, I had my music up too loud... so here is my choice - privacy or music... ARG... Oh well.... You all benefit from this, lol! Two chapters in one day. Now, I am going to look for a nice HG/LM. Dee said she has read those, and I haven't, so now I'm interested... lol!
