AN: WOW I got alot REVIEWS!!! I was so happy!! yay!!!! Anyways, on with the story... o yeah, I don't know how to get italics on ff.net, so could someone email me or just tell me in a review? thanks. I think it has to be saved in a .txt file? Yeah, I tried that, but I don't know how to get italics on edit pad...I'll try to figure it out. If italics show up, then I GOT IT. But, but the meantime, I'm going to go back to putting asterisks around the thoughts...until someone tells me how to do it. Ok, this time. on with the story.

Ok, last time, Pansy figured out that there was something going on with Draco and Hermione, and she goes and has a 'talk' with Hermione. That's what this chapter is going to be about...mostly.



Chapter 6

Pansy was really mad.

*How dare he choose that mudblood over me!* She thought angrily as she stormed up the Gryffindor Tower.

"Are you new here dear?" The Fat Lady asked politely, "I'm quite certain that I've never seen you around here before."

"Let. Me. In." Pansy snarled menacingly, "You do remember what happened the last time you refused the open up for one of the Dark Lord's, don't you?"

The Fat Lady gasped; she was still pretty shaky about that incident with Sirus Black during their third year, and his name was never cleared so most of the wizarding population still thought him as a Death Eater.

Whimpering slightly, she opened the door, and the second Pansy was out of sight, she flew through the paintings of the school to contact a professor.

It was late a night and everyone was asleep. Pansy could already tell which one was the girls dormitories, and crept up to Hermione's room.

She wasn't at all afraid of getting caught, because she knew with all the power that she had, she could kill everyone in that room in three seconds flat.

No.It was more like in the back of her mind she was still hanging on to the little chance that there was nothing between Draco and Hermione and that she was just being paranoid. Jealousy does weird things to people.

She was very quick. She crept by Hermione's bed and quickly whispered, "Petrificus Totalus." And Hermione was petrified. Making her feather light, she walked out of the girl's dormitories and to the fire wall with Hermione's frozen form floating behind her.

She took some floo powder out and threw it in the fireplace, then whispering

"Malfoy Manor"

It took awhile to get Hermione's stiff body into the fireplace, but eventually it worked and they were suddendly transported to the home of Draco Malfoy.

Pansy knew the whole manor like the back of her hand, so she didn't even bother to turn on any lights, because a house elf might see her and tell someone.

She stopped in front of a certain room, stopped and stood there for a few moments, thinking about something, then walked in.

This whole time Hermione was lifelessly floating behind her.

They were in Draco Malfoy's bedroom.

Pansy worked quietly and quickly. She hurried and binded Hermione's arms and legs together, before taking off the body bind.

"Pansy! What are you doing here! And where am I!?"

"I'd watch your tone a little more if I were you mudblood. Thankfully I'm not. You're in Malfoy Manor."

*I'm in Draco's house? Well, where is he? And why am I all tied up?*

"Look mudblood, I'm just going to keep this short and simple. Stay away from Draco. He's mine and he would never want a filthy mudlbood like you. But.. Just so you don't forget, why don't we give you a little lesson.crucio."

It was pain like she never felt before.

She just wanted to die, but then a voice in the back of her mind told her to hold on, to stay alive so she could eventually get back at Pansy, and Draco, because she was sure that they were in it together.

No one could hear her because all the rooms at Malfoy Manor were soundproof. She couldn't even move because she was tied together, when suddenly it stopped.

"Don't worry Granger, I was just on my way out. Don't forget.Stay Away From Draco."

Then, she said the word that Hermione feared, "crucio."

The screaming started, and Pansy just smiled, before closing and locking the door, and taking floo back to Hogwarts.

***

Meanwhile at Hogwarts, Draco was in his room lying awake when Pansy barged in his room.

"Draco, you don't have to worry about the mudblood anymore; I took care of her for you."

He shot up.

"WHAT!"



So.comments? Yes, I realize this was a little on the short side, but I'll get the next chapter out sooner. Really, I mean, I COULD have made this a longer chapter, but then I would have had to wait another few days to post it and I just wanted to do it now. So PLEASE REVIEW!!!
