Author's Note: I'm sorry if you guys thought that this was an update. In my rush to get the previous chapter uploaded, I forgot to say a few things. First, I would like to say sorry for rushing Draco and Hermione's friendship, it may have seemed OOC. I was wondering if I should make a separate fic focusing on Draco and Hermione's summer, to explain what happened in detail. Parts of the summer may be revealed in my story, Forever, little by little. Some of you may be wondering why Draco did not remember how he survived the killing curse, the reason will be revealed later in the story. Hint: It has to do with Darien. I got the idea for the introduction party from Maura Belle's story Forgetting Draco Malfoy. I would also want to know whom you guys think I should pair up with Hermione, Ron or Harry. I think that is all.
This is a mini-chapter
A brown haired lady walked into a dark room. There was a fire lit in the fireplace but it was slowly dying. A woman was seated in a purple cushion couch facing the fire.
"My Lady." The brown haired woman said and bowed.
"Linda, come closer, you may get up," The woman said
Linda walked to the couch. The woman looked at her.
"How is Darien?" The woman said.
"He is fine my lady. Hermione and Darien are searching for Gwenivere. I think he may have found her," Linda answered.
"That is good, is there a relationship between Darien and your niece?" The woman asked, "I have watched them, they seem more than friends."
"No my lady." Linda answered. "My lady I have a question."
"What is your question?" The woman asked.
"I Hermione is the heir, why hasn't she had dreams Darien and Gwenivere?" Linda asked.
"I have not let her have any dreams. She was not ready, as is Henry." The woman answered.
"Henry?"
"Yes, he played an important role. Many people thought that he killed Darien. We have no proof." The woman answered. "We need to find him as well."
"I will tell Hermione and Darien to look for him. Is there anything else you would like me to do for you my lady?"
"No."
"My lady when will I bring Hermione to you?"
"You cannot bring her to me. I cannot interfere anymore. I would like it to run its course. The sooner they are together the sooner I can finally rest. I have live a long time I am old. I am getting tired. The thing I would like most is rest." The woman said. "It is getting late you should be going."
"Yes my lady. If you need please call me." Linda said. The woman did not answer; she stared back at the fire. When Linda did not hear an answer she turned and left the room.
A/N: So what do you guys think? Who is this mysterious woman? What does she have to do with Darien and Gwenivere? Please review or email me at radram009@yahoo.com to reply to the things stated in the above author's note.
