Chapter 21: Land of Eden

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.

Thanks: I can't thank all of you. The reason is simple. I AM GROUNDED! I can only use the computers on weekends, and even then my time is limited. So I typed up this chapter as fast as I could, but I did not have time to thank everyone. Next time I WILL! I SWEAR!!!!

A/N: HEY! I hope you are all enjoying the story so far and uhh stuff. So yeah ^_^

The group slowly made their way out of the tram, and walked around the docks in silence for a moment. Nobody quite knew what to say. They did not know what to do about Voldemort's return in England. Now that Lucius had Beauxbatons pretty much wrapped around his little figure, the group had no clue where to go and how to handle their situation. Hermione shuddered at the thought of her beloved England being taken over by Death Eaters. Instead she tried to focus on her surroundings.

There was a row of several small shops on the docks. They were tiny, and it appeared as though nothing interesting would be in them. Several had to do with the sea. The rough gray black water was hitting against the dock hard. It was rough because the wind was starting to pick up.

Hermione looked up at the sky. It was very gray and cloudy out and it looked like it was about to pour at any moment. Blaise noticed too and smiled, "Well, at least my hair won't get messed up. It looks horrible as it is."

Pansy shrugged, "It looks better then that curly mess you had before Blaise!"

Blaise glared, "Hey Parkinson, I did not ask you for your opinion!"

Hermione rolled her eyes. These two girls probably won't ever get along. Hermione could see a certain glare in Pansy's eye that clearly stated that she did not exactly trust Blaise. Maybe the two girls will never quite get along.

Harry stared at the cloudy sky, "It really looks like it's going to downpour."

Draco smirked, "It has been cloudy pretty much since we got here and there has not been a single raindrop yet."

Suddenly it began to pour buckets of rain. Hermione giggled, "Well, it appears as though you jinxed us Draco."

Draco frowned, and Ginny began to run, "Come on! Lets head into one of these little stores here."

The group ran from the outside, and into a tiny shop. The group paused for a moment and peered around their surroundings. Hermione squealed in delight and began browsing through the selves. It appeared as though they entered a tiny bookshop, and some of the books were in English instead of French.

Draco rolled his eyes as he watched Hermione, "How can you be thinking about books at a time like this, Hermione?"

Hermione shrugged, "It does take away from your problems. Maybe we can find something that will help in these books."

Ron rolled his eyes, "Some things never change. Hermione will always read. Even if death stares her in the face, she will read."

Pansy rolled her eyes, "Right! So Ron? Come over here. I really haven't had a chance to talk to you. Now is our chance."

Ron went a deep purple, and Blaise started to crack up. "Oh! Parkinson you FANCY him, now don't you?"

Pansy glared, and grabbed Ron's arm, and dragged him to the other side of the shop. Blaise giggled, and followed them. Hermione made a face, and continued to read the book's titles carefully. Draco smirked, "So? What do you suggest we do now? We are accused of murdered 'Lucius' a.k.a Nilam, and are on the run from the crazy people of Beauxbatons. What do you think about that?"

Hermione shrugged as she continued to browse the selves. "I can't say that I have an answer to that question Draco Malfoy. I really don't see what we can do, except for be alert against the people who hate us."

Draco raised his eyebrows and muttered, "Well, I can clearly see you are of no real help right now."

Hermione pursed her lips, "Well, Mister Malfoy, I certainly do not feel like fighting with you right now. So if you'll please."

Draco snickered, and walked over to where Blaise was standing. He seemed eager to join in on the teasing that Blaise was doing to Ron and Pansy. Hermione rolled her eyes again, ~ Well, this is interesting. I suppose some things never change. Including Draco's desire to bother people. ~

Hermione continued to look through the selves as the rest of the group stood around, and occasionally checking to see if the rain was going to stop. Hermione secretly hoped the rain would continue. Then she would be able to just stay here and read, and not worrying about her problems out there. Hermione suddenly smiled, and picked up a book that looked interesting: The Legend of the Land of Eden

"Oh, this should be a nice read." Hermione muttered.

She slowly picked up the book, and went over the comfortable chairs that were in the corner of the shop. She smiled to herself and sat down. Hermione did not feel like hearing all about Lucius and the Death Eaters that were in their mist. No, Hermione did not want to think about those horrible thoughts. Everything was going to be okay, and she knew it. Meanwhile, Hermione slowly opened the book and began to read it:



One thousand years ago, the royal wizarding family of France was becoming one of the most powerful. The King of France, although powerful, was very greedy and ruthless. He was hated by all of the wizard population, but nobody dared to stand against him.

Yet, it is rumored that the King was cruel for his desire to conquer the Land of Eden, which was a legendary place that was a peaceful heaven. No wrong or horror could ever touch this wonderful and truly beautiful place. Also the founder of the Land of Eden could be granted one single wish.

The King's power and greed grew stronger for this hidden place. He even went as far as to beat his two daughters, who were very much against the search for this place. Sadly, the daughters were in deep danger. The King had a large group of supporters who wanted the wish of Eden all for themselves.

The feud between the young princesses and their father became worse and worse. Eventually the King murdered one of his daughters. He killed her in cold blood in front of her sister.

The sister was traumatized, and was able to flee to England. The King was vengeful, and said that someday in someplace, the heirs of his supporters would take control of the Land of Eden and kill all who get in their way.

The young princess who was murdered would not be forgotten. There is a statue of her and her sister in the town square of magical Paris. Forever the two legendary princesses, Helen, who was later killed in England by one of her father's supporters and Pansee, the victim of the King's cruelness, will be remembered.

Next chapter in this book contains the origins of the Land of Eden.

Hermione gasped and put the book down. In her past life, Helen was a princess? That is why she was put in Malin. During her past life she was a member of Royalty. Hermione was stunned, but then she felt her heart stop.

Hermione lowered the book and felt her heart pounding. The other princess Pansee? It couldn't have been Pansy Parkinson's past life! If it was, that meant Hermione and Pansy were both put in Malin for a reason, and that they were sisters in their past lives. However, Pansee was murdered before Helen could do anything. Does that mean history would repeat itself, and Pansy would die?

Hermione looked over at Pansy and felt her heart stop. She realized that there was more to this problem then ever. They were in great danger and Hermione knew it.



WOW! The plot THICKENS!!! Anyway, I hoped you enjoyed this, and I probably gave you loads to think about! JA!
