Chapter 6: The Wise Advice

```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

^ Ugh! I'm a bloody cod. What the fuck was I thinking? Wait that's it I wasn't thinking. Blasted hormones. Ugh! I kissed a Mudblood. Now I have to wash my mouth out 100 times just to get her taste from my mouth.^ (Ok i'm not british so this might not sound all to good so just work with me alright) He was about to say the password to get into his room until he saw Professor Snape striding past him. He came to a sudden hault and turned to face Draco.

"Come, Malfoy. You must get the 5th and 6th year prefects from Slytherin and meet back to the Prefect lounge immediately."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Draco stalked down the hall. The Slytherin prefects at tow. Draco still had a battle of thoughts rattling his brain. He finally reached a picture portraying a ship of Singing Pirates pissing the night away. (sorry i couldn't help my self. I'm not british but i do kno that pissing means getting drunk but yea i just had to do that)

"Flaming Night" The portrait opened up to a group of twenty people before him. Draco took a seat at the back as Dumbledore stood up.

"Most of you know of the attack on Miss Appleby last thursday." he paused as he took note of everyone's nod" Yes, well tonight we have had a similar attack. Fortunatley the victim is still alive thanks to Misters Potter and Weasley who found her, in note, scaring away the creature." his eyes glistened as the torch's replended from his glasses." We are now left with the only choices of taking very secure cautions as you are familiar of in the year the Chamber of Secrets reopened." he paused" We are quite aware of the happenings outside of the school therefore Hogwarts will not be closing any time soon. We must take extreme precautions therefore we have made the following rules. Minerva...." He turned to Professor McGonagall who stood up holding out a piece of parchment. Dumbledore took his seat as she started to recite the rules.

"Noone will be able to leave the castle in the exception of classes outdoors. Students from 4th year and under will be escorted to classes by professors as 5th years and up are escorted by prefects or a professor. Noone will roam the halls alone. You must be in groups of three or more. Everyone must be in there dormitories by 8 o'clock. Unless of course you are a prefect or head, still you must stay in groups and be authorized by a professor. We must be extremely careful. We do not know where these creatures come from. You have a great responsibility this year. Now if anyone has any questions please speak now." She looked around the room.
Her face was solemn. Her powder white flesh were wrinkled even more with the stress of the wizarding world.Her lively electric green eyes were now a bit dull and filled with worry. Draco looked to see one hand go straight into the air. ^ Of course that stupid little Mudblood is going to ask a question.^ He thought in disgust.

"Yes, Miss Granger?" The withered old wizard asked. His eyes still glistened from the torched flames.

"Professor.. If I may ask..wh...who was attacked tonight?"She asked a bit hesitantly. Harry and Ron both stiffined visibly.

"Oh, of course I did forget to inform of whom the person was. I'm afraid it was one of our Slytherins, Pansy Parkinson." Draco's blood froze at this information. He least expected it to be a Slytherin. Mind you, one of his close Slytherin mates. Maybe he thought that no one from Slytherin would be attacked because...well because it was Slytherin and if the dark lord was behind this then Slytherin's wouldn't have been victims. He guessed wrong, so now he had to watch his own back.

He searched around the room. Reading the emotions that were flowing from everyone. The prefects were shocked and frightened whispering to one another. Most of the staff was doing the same. His eyes travelled to Snape who kept a neutral look. His thoughts and emotions hid behind a mask of stone. Dumbledore was searching around the lounge also. His eyes were searching for something. They held a soft sparkle, full of mystery, a secret. His eyes then landed on Draco's. They locked gazes. Dumbledore was searching. Searching for information. Draco could tell the wise old goon had something up his sleeve. Dumbledore than moved his gaze/search to another and Draco's eyes then landed on Hermione.

She was very quiet. Ginny,Harry, and Ron were next to her talking in hush voices to eachother. But Hermione just sat there in a pensive state. She chewed her bottom lip. Not in frustration or in an anxious and edgy sort of way but in slight concentration. She was folding something up in that little mind of hers. He couldn't read her. Not like he used to at least. Her mood was of apathy. Damn, what happened to that girl? Something more happened to her then just being chucked by Krum. And he was going to find out. He could care less about her but it innerved him for some reason of her new act of attitude. And was intent on finding out what had caused this sudden change.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The Gryffindor Four were on there way to there dorms. "Don't you find it quite odd?"Hermione inquired." That.."

"That people are being attacked at night?!"Ron exclaimed a bit incredulous." What's not odd about people being attacked at school? Hermione, I thought you were the smart one?

"I wasn't talking about that you sod. Of course that's odd but if you wouldn't have cut in, I could have finished. Now, as I was saying it's odd that the people are being attacked at night when alone and at the midnight hour. Come on think about it. If you hadn't found Pansy being attacked, she would have died. But wouldn't it have attacked you too? They or it are only attacking people who are alone. They must have been sent. Of course someone dark is behind all of this but ..."

"Yea Voldemort, who else? He.."

"WOULD YOU STOP THAT ALREADY AND LET ME FINISH?!?" Hermione bellowed. Ron, Harry, and Ginny, startled out of their wits, meekly nodded as Hermione began to finish what she was saying. Ron walked to the other side of Ginny trying to get as far away from Hermione.

"Ok, yes Voldemort most likely does have something to do with it but I have a bad feeling there is something or rather someone else behind this also."

"But who?" Harry thought aloud.They stopped at Hermione's Head Room. Hermione turned to them.

"I dunno." She said barely audible and nodded at there departure.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
2 weeks later.

It had been two weeks since the accident. Pansy was now out of the imfirmary and a bit well...nicer. She was still a spoiled little prat but she just didn't take everything for granted as before.

Hermione, Ron, Harry, and Ginny had been trying to look for clues about the demonic creatures. They researched as much as they could. Hermione spent most of her time in the library mainly without the presence of her three companions.

And at this moment at 5:35 p.m. sitting in a secluded corner of a dusty, serene, and old library of Hogwarts sat Hermione Tigrasina Granger with her nose stuck in a book. Her area was surrounded with many old, tarnish, dusty, yellow crisped paged books. She loved the solitude of the library. Away from hustle and bustle, gossiping, giggles, and rowdy witches and wizards. It was her sanctuary. Her best friend. Her home away from home. (sorry that doesn't make sense but i dun't care. so deal with it.haha) She was engrossed with her research of ancient magic and all the creatures that came to be in the wizarding world. It was a new journey for her. It was a thrill for her mind to seek new imformation of the magical realm.

"Argh. It doesn't say anything about the demons in these!" She exclaimed. Snapping the thick book shut. She placed her elbows on the table and started to massage her temples. "I can't do this. Most of these are written in different languages. Argh. And it's deffinitly not helping." She picked up another book and noticed a strange type of calligraphy on it. She brushed her hand over the strange markings. It was a medium sized book yet very heavy. The cover was silver and had a velvety texture. The writing was in a midnight blue. It was breathtaking. How a book could be she didn't know. She couldn't seem to take her eyes off of it. She placed her fingers into the opening to see what was held in its confines until someone roughly jerked her back to reality.

"Come on 'Mione. It's time for dinner."

"Oh yes of course. I must have lost track of the time." She looked back down to the book. She let out a breathe she wasn't aware of holding and placed the book back onto its shelf.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Hermione was on her way back to the common room with Ginny, Lavender, and Pavarti. She was in her own little world as the other three chirped away about anything and everything. Hermione was going over all the research she did in the library when she heard a faint call. All four girls stopped and turned. "Granger. Hey Granger wait up." Hermione turned to see the pretty, popular, pratty,Slytherin Princess walking toward her with her gang of Slytherin girls.

"Hey Granger. Umm. can you.. May I speak with you for a moment?" She said fervently.

"Yea,-sure."She turned to the other three girls." Just wait here. I'll be right back."

"Alright 'Mione but you best hurry. Curfew is catching up with us." Parvati warned.

"Don't worry. Come on Pansy." Both girls walked swiftly toward the nearest lounge. "Yes?"

"I was wondering. You know how you were attacked also.. If you-"

"How do you know that I was attacked?" Hermione asked her brows furrowed in bewilderment and slight anger.

"I over heard the Professors talking in the hospital wing."She stated as she noticed the frazzled witch relax a bit." No one knows do they? Not even Potter and the Weasley's. Ha. Wow, the little mudblood keeping a secret from the rest of the Golden Gryffindors."

"Spit it out, Pansy I haven't got all night."

"Yes well I was just wondering how you dealt with it. Like have you been attacked again? I'm afraid that since I didn't get you know. Killed. That it might come after me again."

"First off , no, I haven't been attacked again. And second, if you don't walk around after curfew I don't think you will have a problem. I'm not exactly sure whats going on and if anything will help all I can say is... watch your back." Hermione turned to walk back toward Lavender, Pavarti and Ginny when she heard Pansy whisper a slight thanks.

"No problem."
###################################################################################

"Wut did pug face want?" Ginny asked bitterly.

"Nothing just asking 'bout you know the new rules and stuff." She stated nonchalantly with a wave of her hand.

"Do you guys want to staywith me tonight?" Hermione asked them as they stopped at her portrait.

"I can't Hermione. I...I..promised to play wizard's chess with Harry in the Common Room." She said softly. Her face varying many shades of rose. Hermione started to laugh as the others cooed and teased her.

"Awwww. Alright Ginny. What about you two?"

"Of course!" They stated simultaneously.

"How bout we go to the Common Room first then head back here." Lavender percepted.

*************************************************************************************************************************

Stopping in front of a portrait containing a tiger and dragon resting near a waterfall, Hermione asserted her password,"Crimson Tears." Immediatley the portrait swung open and the fireplace and lanterns lit up the room.

"Whoa." Was all that Lavender and Pavarti could stifle out.Hermione smiled cheekily at there expressions to the decor.

"Do you like?"They stepped inside and place their things down as Hermione went to the lavatory for a moment. Lavender and Pavarti took in their suroundings. It was quite spacious. The walls were painted black with red, gray, blue, marroon, and green swirled designs. In the middle of the room a queen sized bed was placed. The comforter was a heavy silk with a tiger and dragon in a circular formation holding the same swirled designs as the wall and bright orange lava cracked through stones with green vines sketched across the bottom. The picture was moving which gave it more of a magical air. Above the bed were pictures of dragons and tigers. In one corner held a bookshelf on the opposite wall a desk. A fireplace was across from the bed and then a door to the lavatory on the right of the bed. A pair of french doors on the left led out to a balcony. Pavarti and Lavender were in awe.

"Hey you guys you might want to put your things in here. My closet is in the loo. Strange huh?" Hermione stepped out of the lavatory with only her uniform on.

"Why didn't you change?" Pavarti asked.

"Because, don't you remember. It's Wednsday we have astronomy tonight."

"Oh right."she replied albeit embarrassed.

"So, Mione did the room come like this?" Lavender inquired.

"No, it was in red and gold but I asked to change it a bit. It's reminds me of my room back home."

"I think it's smashing. Really, I love the bed and the walls. A bit dark but still it's wonderful. You really have a thing for tiger's and dragon's, huh?" Pavarti chimed. Hermione just nodded and went over to the bookshelf. The three girls talked and looked over magazines until a knock was heard at the portrait.

"I got it?" And Lavender sprung to the portal to come face to face with Professor Sinistra.(ok it's like 10o'clock instead of 12)

"Good evening, dear. Come now we are on our way to the Astronomy tower for class." With that said she turned around and started to walk down the corrider with many students following behind. This was one of the few classes they had with all the houses. The girls sprinted around the room gathering their things for class and then ran out the portrait to catch up with their fellow pupil

They reached up the winding steps to the glass walled astronomy tower. The stars shown brightly that night. They beemed down giving off the only light into the room.

"Alright now partner up at a telescope and answer the questions on the parchments near each one.Now chop, chop." Everyone started to partner off as Hermione just stared out at the stars. "It's really nice out, huh?" A voice came from behind her.
"Yea, it is." she said while turning around to face the source of the masculine voice.

"You wanna be partners?" he asked.

"Yea why not? But are you sure you want to freely choose a mudblood for a partner, Blaise?"

"Oh, give it up. Your not all that bad." He said a bit flustered. Hermione laughed a bit then reached down for her parchment. The hour went by uneventful and soon enough the class was over. Hermione actually enjoyed Blaise's company. Blaise found a new friend in Hermione and saw past her heritage.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sometime past midnight Hermione stayed awake. Her eyes adjusting to the dark with only a glimmer of orange light from her comforter. Lavender and Pavarti slept peacefully next to her. Their even breathing sang harmoniously with the wind brushing past her window and the creatures slight raptures in the Forbidden Forest. Hermione couldn't take it any more and slid cautiously out of bed, not to disturb the other two Gryffindor's slumber. She reached out under her bed and grabbed her broom. Placed on a midnight blue robe and fastening her hair into a tight ponytail. She opened her the balcony doors and stood for a moment. Feeling the soft breeze grace her face then mounted the broom and flew into the night. The wind whipped around her. Biting at her flesh. She flew gracefully through the air heading to the Quiditch PItch. She came to a halt skimming her gaze across the field. Wisps of sand blew as the wind howled. A sharp ting of the posts and little crystals added to the serene nature of the pitch. She swiftly glided around the goals. Making loops around the poles. She skid under the bleachers taking speed and making obstacles. She then stopped dead as she heard a feeble whistle of wind. She stood her place in the air under the bleachers as her eyes focused on a streak of whipping robes whizzing in the air. She then found a glimmer of soft white reflecting from the moon beams and contorted her features into a one of exasperation. She skimmed over to the galant figure.

"Granger, abiding the rules and out after curfew? Tut.Tut. Head Girl also. What would McGonnagal say or worst yet your two bodygaurds?" He sneered.

"What about you? Why are you out here once again?" She retorted.

"I Granger couldn't sleep and decided to get some fresh air."

"What, did wittle Dwacie Poo have a nightmare."

"Stuff it, Mudblood. I didn't come out here to quarell." He said sharply.

"What, being serious now are we. What's up your arse? Didn't bed one of your tarts tonight? What they finally noticed what an arrogant bastard you were and left you stranded and now your sexual frustrated?" With that last remark Draco dived toward Hermione as she barely slurred from his clutches as she sped up getting lower to the ground. She then made a sharp turn out of the pitch and into the Forbidden Forest. She raced through the trees, dodging branches and shrubs as she skimmed lower to the floor. She then rebounded off her broom as Draco grabbed her robe. She bounced into a little streem. Draco trailing behind. Hermione bounded out of the water and started off again when a force unknown lifted her from the ground. Ice trailed through her body and she slammed into a tree.Draco stood before her. His silver eyes changed to a dark grey. They held a blue electric spark in them trailing out and reaching her.

~Does he. No he can't but he does.~ She thought breaking up her sentence.

"I told you Granger. I still owe you back for those little how do you say spur of the moment hits you have had a habit on giving me.And your impudent remarks aren't helping you any either." Hermione bit her lip as an icy wave went through her veins. She started to shake involentarily. Draco smirked as he saw her shudder.

"A bit cold, Granger?" He sneered."Need a bit warming up?" With that he flicked his hand and red and black flames surrounder Hermione. Hermoine bit down harder a trickle of blood drew as her teeth deepened into her lip. Draco noticed that Hermione's eyes were an extremely dark brown. Bits of red sparks surrounded her pupils. (She has hazel eyes so they change colours.) They flickered dangerously as a red current of electricity surrounded her body and blue flames erupted around Draco.

"So Granger, can play hard core?" His brow flickered."Let's see then?" He nodded his head and Hermione's body was pushed harder against the tree rising above him. The blue sparks connected him to her. She glared back at him and shot out her hand relieving the red current to his body. He flew back onto an opposite tree. Draco then lost his cool and the red and black flames erupted in a circle attaching all the trees around them. They flew higher into the night and ended with a thunderous roar. Black chars of wood surrounded Hermione and Draco. Both panting and glaring at eachother.

"You really need to learn to control your temper." Hermione seethed.

"How do you have those powers?" His voice was cold and malicous.

"To hell if I know. I just one day lost my head and these powers were... Why am I telling you this? What about you?"Draco laughed. It was a cruel laugh more of a bark as his head flew back.

"I'm not going to share my life story with you Granger." He retorted coldly. He started to lift himself from the ground.(he's not floating just to let you know. just incase your confused he's just standing up. get it? I know your not that dense but you kno there are the exceptional ones. I know that's what I would think since I am a bit special^_~) Draco started to dust himself off and Hermione's glare bore into him.

"I know I'm ravishing Granger but it's not at all attractive for a lady to drool. Even for a mudblood." He said cocking his head to the side smirking over to her furious expression.

She got off the ground and stalked over to him. He faced her. Feature impassive and held an air of ennui. He stood straight before her. She reached him and stared up at his tall figure.

"You pompous, overbearing, insolent, peccant, biased git. You are not at all ravishing in any way or form on the contrary. I think you are a horrid, malicous, spoiled little prat. So don't try to get all high and mighty with me Draco Malfoy. I am just as magical as you are. My blood may not be pure but I for one am a better Witch then you'll ever be a Wizard." She was fuming. She wasn't hiding her emotions now. She wasn't going to stand for him. He just stared at her. He stayed impassive. His arms crossed over his chests.

"Are you done?"

"UGH! No matter what you will NEVER change. How Blaise could be friends with you is beyond me. How anyone could be friends with you is beyond me. I don't know how your mother could stand you. Or for a matter accept you as her child. I would have gotten rid of myself for making such a horrid son." Draco's blood was now boiling. How she could do that to him he didn't know but she could hit the right cords. He grabbed her and flung her around pushing her against the tree he had just lifted himself from. She struggled against his grasp. He just pushed her harder. Her feet couldn't reach the ground and her legs wrapped around Draco's waist for balance. Draco stared intently into her eyes. She kept his gaze and looked soley into his silver orbs that turned a dark shadow grey. That,oh so,familiar blue spark surrounded his pupils.

"You'll never learn to shut up,will you Granger?" He shoved her harder against the tree. She gasped as the rough texture of the bark scrapped her back. Their faces were inches away. Their lips brushed roughly against eachother and Draco pulled back a bit. Draco was about to finish what he was going to say when both heard a rattling of leaves from a thick bush. Both turned their heads to see a large figure stepped from behind the wall of shrubs.

"What's goin' on 'ere." Hagrid's booming voice bellowed through. Draco let Hermione down gently and hid deeper into the shadows of the forest. Hermione took out her wand and whispered a spell as both her and Draco blended into their surroundings.

Hagrid stepped closer into the light and stared at the charred trees around him.

"Now what could 'ave done this." He said quietly. Fang, his hellhound, sniffed around the new clearing. He was aproaching the invisible Draco and Hermione until Hagrid called for him.

"Come Fang." He whistled. And both fang and Hagrid left. Hermione let out a breath of relief as the invisibility field around her and Draco disapeared. Draco just stood there. Hermione then noticed how close they were. They were still against the tree, Draco had his body pressed against hers. Their chest heaved up and down. Hermione's bust pressed against his hard chest. She started to slow down her breathing trying her best to lesson the close proximity of her chest against his. He must have noticed this as his head turned to face hers. Her eyes were shielded as was his. He slowly stepped away from her. He turned around to leave when he noticed another figure. He didn't have any time to hide back into the shadows before the being acknowledged him.

"Ahhh. Master Malfoy. You hold quite a responsability on your shoulders as do you Lady Granger." Firenze stated." Powers so great hold the key should the night reign or shall it flee." He looked up toward the sky."A clear night it is. The stars hold two stories. Which one will come to be counts on the fates of two great ones. With help and many obstacles shall the wizarding world lead to it's final destiny. Now which will it be we must wait and see." Firenze turned around and walked away. He stopped and turned back."Your enemies are sometimes your closes allies and those you trust may be your enemies." He bowed his head to them and walked on.

Draco and Hermione just stood placid. They stared at the retreating form of the centaur as they soaked in the wise one's advisement. They both headed back to there rooms. Thoughts and questions plagued their minds as they both flew back into their rooms falling into an unrestful slumber.

Aaaaahhhh! I hoped you liked that chapter. Pretty uneventful but I liked writing it. I'm trying to not put them together so fast cuz it'll ruin the plot I set up and have in mind. I really like my idea i just need to get it down. So sorry it took so long. I was on a writer's block. I spent time on it every day. Then I got a bit to stressed from school and quit it and started to write my poetry. I just now finished so I'm gonna put it up now cuz i don't want you to wait longer.Oh yea pleez check out my poems at fictionpress. I'm still under the same name there. But I'm glad I finally finished this. I'm gonna try to bring in Duvaunt and Lucius Malfoy in the next chapter. I'm gonna be skipping weeks i think so don't get mad. I hope you guys are still interested in this. Please don't lose hope in this. It will take awhile for me to update but I will eventually. Ok now for my thank you's.

Thank You For your Review's:

ice princess:I'm glad you love the story and think it's one of the best. I'm sorry bout the cliffhangers. As you can tell I didn't leave one this time. I was about to stop when Hagrid came but i thought that would be way to evil. Hope you enjoyed this chapter.

SimplePlanFan: I'm glad you like this. And thanx for the compliment. I never really thought I was good at writing. I still don't but since ppl keep saying it not to be big headed, I'm starting to appreciate my work more. Thanx to ppl like you. thanx for the review and I hope you enjoyed this chapter.

Serpent du Feu: I'm glad you liked the kiss last chapter. Sorry not much action here. I'll try to get some in next chapter. They did get a bit kinky at the tree though. Kinda just not much. *Evil Grin* But they will have more close encounters you can count on that. Hope you liked the chap. Thanx for the review.

make1upi'm2lazy2: Yea the eye thing is actually plausible. Since she has hazel eyes they change colors but the sparks add when she's mad cuz her power and anger build up. Thanx for reviewing hoped you like the chap.

Jessica: No you did not bug me. I was actually glad you stressed me to keep writing and update soon. It boost up my confidence in writing and shows that someone actually wants me to keep writing. Yea i'm glad you liked the kiss last chapter. And i think you would be good if you write a fic. Just put your mind to it. I'm a bit of a scatter brain so that's not good for writing. haha. newho i hope you enjoyed this chapter.

Strawberry:Hey happy early birthday. I'm saying this now cuz i dunno how long till i get the next chapter up. I'm glad you like the story so far. Yea, you could say that Lucius is a spy. He's helping out the light side cuz there are some things he doesn't agree with killing off all muggles. I like the idea of him being a type of a good guy. He won't change his attitude. He still dislikes muggle-borns and muggles but there's an understanding in keeping them around I guess you could say. Oh i can't wait to bring him into this story. It's going to be so fun. I hope that helped a bit and i hope you liked this chapter.
Well thank ya'll so much. Hugz and kisses. This is dedicated to all that read this and actually took the time and waited and are still interested in this. I love you guys. Don't forget to review. Flames and Constructive Criticism is more than welcome. I hope you enjoyed.
