A/N: I AM BACK! YAY! HEHE ^_^ OMG IT'S SNOWING!!!! So my mom let me on, which lets me post this! ^_~ So I am going to make it snow in my story. SNOW!
Draco and Hermione peered around the room that they were standing in. It was small and very dusty as though nobody decided to clean it for awhile. There was a faded purple rug with stars that felt plush under their feet. The room was filled with several bizarre assortments of decorations, including a withered human hand, and monkey skull. It was very strange. Very strange indeed.
Hermione was nervous. She did not like this place at all, because it was pretty freaky. Hermione turned to face Draco, "Where is Madame Nyssa?"
Draco pointed to another door that said: Madame Nyssa, in bold bluish purple letters. However, Hermione was shocked by the door's appearance. Underneath Madame Nyssa's name was the Dark Mark.
Draco raised his eyebrows. "Well," he said, "It looks like this is the kind of place where the Death Eaters are welcome."
"Which gives us a good enough reason to leave." Hermione quickly added.
Draco shook his head, "It gives us even a better reason to stay. We can find out where Lucius is and also find out where the hell he put our friends."
"You are an idiot." Hermione muttered. "I do not think we should be here! Lets just go!"
"NO!" Draco said, "I am going to find out where everyone is whether Madam Nyssa is a Death Eater or not. Gosh I thought Gryffindors were suppose to be brave."
"They are." Hermione agreed, "But I am not a Gryffindor, I a uh- Malin!"
"Whatever." Draco muttered under his breath.
With that Draco turned around, and walked through the door slowly. Hermione stood in the strange lobby in silence. She did not want to find out if Madame Nyssa was a Death Eater or not. NO! She was just going to stay right where she was. Hermione stared at the monkey skull, and bit her lip. That thing was really creepy. It was almost like it was staring her down. "Go away." Hermione said.
The skull still looked at her menacingly. Hermione gulped. She was losing her mind all ready, wasn't she? "Damn it." Hermione muttered, as she turned around and followed Draco.
Hermione slowly entered the room before her. It was pitch black inside beyond the Dark Mark door, and there were stars everywhere adding to the eeriness. It was so dark Hermione almost didn't see Draco.
Before Hermione, Draco was sitting in a chair facing a black shadow that was darker then the rest of the room. The shadow's outline was clearly one of a woman, who was wearing a very elaborate dress. Since it was so dark, it was impossible to even see what the woman looked like.
Hermione tapped Draco on the shoulder. He turned around slowly and whispered, "Mione, sit down. She is planning on telling us something, and I think it may be useful."
Hermione did nothing but nod, as she stared at the strange woman in front of her. The woman raised her arms up in shock. "AH! It's Princess Helen, I see." Madame Nyssa said scratchy voice, "And you are young Daemon, yes."
Hermione smiled, and whispered, "Oh, yes uh- where are our friends?"
"Your friends?" Madame Nyssa said softly, "In danger they are. One will not make it, I am afraid. Nope. Four will leave, and one will stay."
Draco growled, "We'll see about that! I am not leaving anyone behind!"
"Do you dare test the will of the Fates?" Madame Nyssa growled. "Don't try to make promises that you can't keep. If you do, you will wish that you were never born. One of your friends is going to die, and there is nothing that you can do to change that."
Hermione asked in a shaky voice, "Hey? Where is- uh"
Draco sighed, "Listen, Madame Nyssa, we are in deep trouble. We want to find our friends, and we want to find Lucius Malfoy."
"Lucius? Oh, Lucius. He comes here very often." Madame Nyssa muttered in a strange way as though she did not really want to discuss Lucius Malfoy.
Hermione remembered the Dark Mark on the door, and she gasped. Was Lucius going to come in at any moment? Was he here right now? This could not be good.
Draco smirked and asked, "Where does Lucius stay when he is not here, Madame Nyssa? I would just LOVE to speak with him."
Madame Nyssa sighed, "I am afraid I cannot tell you that information. I'm sorry, but it is none of your business."
Draco lost his smirk and snarled, "It IS my business. I have loads of business with Lucius Malfoy!"
Madame Nyssa shook her head, "Dear me. That attitude is going to get you into trouble one day. Actually it is going to get you into trouble one day very very very soon."
Hermione bit her lip nervously, "What do you mean by one day very very very soon?"
Madame Nyssa spoke slowly in her scratchy voice, "Well my dears, this Lucius is going to prevail. He and all of those who support him are going to win eventually. You have no chance. All of this is going to be done in vain. The past is going to repeat itself. That is all I must say."
"Y-You mean, "Hermione said in a trembling voice, "We are going to die?"
"Eventually." Madame Nyssa replied, "Now, please. If I were you I would leave at once. I would hate for you to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. GO!"
Draco leapt up from his chair, and grabbed Hermione by the hand and the two left together. Hermione felt a huge lump in her throat. Were they going to die?
~*~*~*~
Draco and Hermione were walking down the deserted streets alone. It was very late, past midnight, and there happened to be nobody walking were they were. Hermione looked at all the various buildings and felt the lump in her throat get bigger and bigger. All of the buildings around her were all decorated cheerfully for Christmas. It was also snowing lightly outside, adding to the "cheerful" Christmas spirit. Hermione snuggled next to Draco and he smiled. "Hey, I know what you are thinking. I am sure we are all going to be together for Christmas."
"Not if Madame Nyssa's prediction comes true." Hermione mumbled softly, "According to her, Lucius is going to win this battle."
Draco rolled his eyes, "Do you honestly think that I am going to let Lucius get away with all of the stuff that he did? NO! I am not!"
"But last time you got too close to him, he nearly killed you!" Hermione protested, "He shoved you off of the North Tower!"
Draco shuddered and changed the subject, "It's so cold out here. Damn snow."
"I always liked the snow." Hermione replied.
Draco looked up at the stars. They were shining brightly against the dark sky. Draco said softly, "Jewel. She loved the snow. She always wanted to play in the snow during Christmas. I remember last Christmas there was no snow and she was very disappointed. She asked me if it would snow next year. I made her a promise. I promised her that just her and me would enjoy a nice snowy Christmas together. But- no. She's dead, and we will never enjoy that Christmas together."
Hermione did not know what to say. All she could think of was, "I am so sorry, Draco."
Then the two heard music in the distance playing softly as the snow fell.
This is my December
This is my time of the year
This is my December
This is all so clear Just wish that I didn't feel
Like there was something I missed (2x) This is my December
This is my snow-covered home
This is my December
This is me alone And I
Just wish that I didn't feel
Like there was something I missed
And I
Take back all the things I said
To make you feel like that
And I
Just wish that I didn't feel
Like there was something I missed
And I
Take back all the things I said to you And I give it all away,
Just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away,
To have someone to come home to This is my December
These are my snow-covered trees
This is me pretending
This is all I need And I
Just wish that I didn't feel
Like there was something I missed
And I
Take back all the things I said
To make you feel like that
And I
Just wish that I didn't feel
Like there was something I missed
And I
Take back all the things I said to you And I give it all away,
Just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away,
To have someone to come home to This is my December
This is my time of the year
This is my December
This is all so clear Give it all away,
Just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away,
To have someone to come home to Give it all away,
Just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away,
To have someone to come home to
Draco sighed, and hugged Hermione tightly. The two looked at each other and just began to cry. Jewel did not deserve to die, along with Dumbledore, Nilam, and Fleur. Harry, Ginny, Ron, Pansy, and Blaise did not deserve to be captured by an evil person during Christmas. And they did not deserve, to be running without shelter in the snow, risking their lives to make everything right again. All they could do was just cry and cry and cry.
AW! So sad. Well, I will try to make things as better as possible. **grins** I hoped you enjoyed the chapter though. My computer is REALLY messed up so it took me a LONG time to write this. HEHE! So, till later!
