Hermione was able to leave the Hospital Wing the next day. There was basically nothing that could be done about the Dark Mark on her shoulder. The best course of action was to send her back to class, and to her social life.
Draco was also let out of the Hospital Wing. Other then the fact that he looked like he got his butt kicked in a huge fight, there was nothing considered fatally wrong. That was a real miracle. Falling off of the North Tower would usually result in death for most people.
Also Hermione was bursting to tell everyone about her and Draco reunited. Harry, Ginny, and Pansy seemed quite relieved that the stupid bickering was over. Ron appeared to be a little disappointed though. It was almost as though he enjoyed the fighting.
Lastly, Hermione and Draco made a promise to tell one of their teachers about Blaise, and Lucius. They figured that they could not let the matter rest where it was. The whole idea was ridiculous that Lucius should be allowed to teach there and kill people.
The first class on Monday was Defense Against the Dark Arts. Malin and Vaillent would have classes together. It was a very interesting and action packed class. Fleur always seemed full of energy when speaking. Her excitement would spread throughout the class, and would get everyone wound up as well, especially the boys.
Fleur smiled at Hermione before she entered the room. "'Ermione you look much better. I waz worried about you. How are you feeling?"
"Fine." Hermione muttered, but then a thought entered her head, "Can I talk with you after class? There is something very important I would like to discuss with you."
Fleur seemed surprised, but nodded, "Oui, you may talk with me, Mizz Granger."
Hermione sighed, and walked in the classroom, and sat down with Pansy. Pansy grinned, "Hey Mione! I am so glad you and Draco got back together. I was just thinking-"
Hermione was not listening to all of Pansy's chatter. Instead her mind wandered about what she was going to say to Fleur. Draco looked over at Hermione, and gave her a puzzled look. Hermione caught his eye, and nodded.
Pansy looked over at Draco and then to Hermione. "Mione I know you are thrilled about your boyfriend, but you should still listen to me," she said sounding a bit hurt.
Hermione shook her head, "Oh! I am sorry, Pansy. I am listening, I swear."
Hermione let Pansy's chatter continue as Hermione thought in her own little world. Hermione and Draco decided to keep Blaise a secret. Hermione sorely did not feel like having to explain everything over and over to Ron, Pansy, Harry, and Ginny. Hermione hoped and prayed that Fleur would believe her and Draco about Blaise, and Lucius. Then again Fleur thought that Nilam was Lucius, and Nilam was murdered. Hermione sighed. Maybe this was just one of those useless struggles.
Hermione could not concentrate one bit on the lesson. She kept thinking about Lucius, Blaise, and various other things. Hermione felt her palms sweating. She just wanted this lesson to end, and end NOW!
Hermione glanced up and saw Felicity was eyeing the clock nervously. She seemed very anxious and it looked as though she had to run somewhere. Hermione sighed. She felt so sorry for Felicity. Felicity was very quiet and shy, and she seemed to have little friends. Hermione knew the feeling. She was totally alone before she had Harry and Ron.
The bell interrupted Hermione's thoughts, and everyone scattered from the classroom. "Where are you headed Mione?" Pansy stated.
Hermione sighed, "I am going to lunch after this, but Pansy you do not have to wait for me. You can go save me a seat, okay?"
Pansy shrugged, "Sure thing Mione."
Pansy headed out of the classroom, accompanied by Ron. Hermione felt a smiled tug at her mouth, and she thought ~ Those two should really hook up. ~
Hermione turned around, and walked up to Fleur with Draco by her side. Fleur smiled, "AH! Mizz Granger. Mr. Malfoy. What iz it zat I can 'elp you with?"
Hermione opened her mouth, but no words came out. She was not sure where to start. Fortunately Draco covered up for her by saying, "It is Professor Dulandez. We have some suspicions about him."
Fleur raised her eyebrows and at first Hermione thought she was going to laugh at them. Instead Fleur slowly nodded, "I understand where you are coming from. I 'ave my suspicions as well. Zere iz something fishy about zat man, and he iz a little creepy if you ask me."
Hermione felt her heart jump with hope. "R-Really? What have you noticed?"
Fleur looked around as though she was fearful that somebody was listening in on her conversation. "Well," Fleur began slowly, " I am a new teacher 'ere as you know. So iz Professor Dulandez."
Hermione and Draco looked at each other confused. Draco sighed, "I know that, but what we are saying is-"
Fleur cut Draco off, and continued speaking, "Well, zere iz a award zat goes to ze best new professor. I really would like to win it. But I fear Dulandez really wants it too and iz going to try and take it from me. I do not want to lose to something again."
Hermione rolled her eyes. She was beginning to lose her patience. "But he is LUCIUS!"
"Oui, oui." Fleur said, "He acts just like zat dreadful man as well. Anyway Lucius iz dead so zere iz no need to worry."
Draco protested, "But Lucius is not dead! He is Dulandez! He is!"
Hermione nodded, "It is true. Lucius is here and he is going try to kill a girl named Blaise who-"
"Okay, I 'ave 'ad enough of zis nonsense." Fleur snapped, "You are being absurd. Lucius iz dead! End of story!"
Hermione looked at Draco and sighed. There was no use talking to Fleur. She believed that Lucius was dead, and nothing was going to change her mind about it. Hermione sighed, "Okay, I am sorry for wasting your time."
Fleur rolled her eyes, "It iz quite all right, I suppose. Now, why don't you hurry along to lunch?"
Hermione and Draco turned around and left the classroom together. Hermione noticed Felicity standing nearby. Felicity smiled friendly, and waved to Hermione, "Hello Hermione. How are you feeling?"
"I am fine. Thanks." Hermione replied.
Felicity nodded slowly, and muttered, "Well, I am going to the library to read up on the newest books. Maybe you would like to join me there and read?"
Hermione smiled. Felicity deserved some friends. She seemed so lonely, and Katrina always seemed to pick on her a lot. Hermione grinned even wider, "Sure, I will meet up with you in the library."
Felicity seemed very pleased, and she turned around to leave. Hermione sighed, "She seems so alone. You know, without any friends."
Draco nodded, "I know what you are trying to say. I really do, but Hermione?"
"Yeah?"
Draco stared into Hermione's eyes, and said in a hushed whisper, "What did Fleur mean when she said that Lucius was all ready killed."
Hermione shook her head, and began to explain to Draco about Nilam and about how he was murdered.
Draco's eyes went really wide, "NILAM!! Oh! HERMIONE! Nilam is or was Lucius's brother. He is my uncle!"
Huh? Well, did you like it? LOL. First Lucius comes as a teacher, then Blaise is at Beauxbatons, then Nilam is Lucius's brother?? Anymore surprises? What and see! Love SOPHIEBABE!
