**Stars mean thought**
Now, on with the story
Hermione Granger was currently walking in Hogsmeade with Draco Malfoy. She was on her way to Three Broomsticks for a drink and to meet Harry.
"Draco, I have to attend to some." she didn't know if she should tell Draco that she was going to meet Sirius with Harry, but she decided not to and just said instead "some business with Harry, but we can hang out later if you would like?" Hermione asked Draco.
He looked a bit downcast about that for some reason. Hermione thought she even noticed a bit of jealousy. She shrugged if off though and Draco just put on a forced smile and said "That will be fine Granger" **Why did he say Granger?**
She just stared at him and then was pretty sure that he got the idea "Sorry" he said sheepishly, "I meant Hermione". Then they walked into Three Broomsticks and saw Harry wave them over.
They walked over to him and sat down in a booth. "Hey Hermione!" he said then to Draco, "Malfoy"
"Hi Harry!" Hermione greeted him, then Draco said "Potter" in his way of a greeting. Hermione just sighed at their antics and sat down, motioning for Draco to sit down as well.
Harry called Madam Rosmerta over and they all ordered Butterbeers. They sat there in silence and a few moments later their butterbeers arrived. They each took a sip and reveled in the warmth that spread all through their bodies. They noticed that they only got a few unusual stares.
People had only recently come to accept that Draco Malfoy, Slytherin King was associating himself with The-Boy-Who-Lived and Hermione Granger, mudblood witch.
They chatted for a bit and then Harry announced that he and Hermione had better take off, or they'd be late. Draco wondered what exactly they were doing but didn't question it. **Why should they tell me anything, Hermione and I have only been friends for about a month and Potter and I have only been civil for about about two weeks**
They said their good-byes and then planned to meet later at Honeydukes. With that in mind, Harry and Hermione set off towards the Shrieking Shack. Pansy Parkinson watched in the shadows as they walked away. She smiled and said to herself "Excellent, Draco is all by himself" And then she walked away to look for Draco.
On the way to the Shrieking Shack, Harry and Hermione bumped into Ginny Weasely "Hi Hermione" then she blushed "Hi Harry" she said much quieter "Oh hey Ginny" Harry said distractedly. Hermione just waved and Harry looked at his watch "Sorry Ginny but 'Mione and I really have to be going or else we'll be late"
"Oh, where are you going?" she asked them, curiously. They just sent glances at each other and Hermione said "Um, sorry Ginny but were not at liberty to talk about it" then they ran off to meet Sirius.
Ginny just walked away disgruntled and muttering to herself under her breath about something, but the words "Harry" "Secrets" and "Stupid Git" could distinctly be heard.
*~(^)~*~(^)~*~(^)~*
Meanwhile, with Draco, he was wondering about Hermione and Harry and where exactly they were going, and what kind of business they had to attend to. Things were becoming so odd for him. Whenever he was around them, something was going on. It was like all of a sudden he was in their world. And it all happened so abruptly when one day, Hermione kissed him.
He was so confused and that was something else that was new to him. Things were different when he was around Hermione and Potter. When he was with them, they wouldn't just do his bidding, and he wasn't in complete control of everything that went on around him.
"Draaaaaakie" said Pansy in a sickly sweet voice. Draco cringed **Would she never get the hint that I don't like her?** He sighed and turned to face her "What do you want Parkinson?" Draco asked her
"Oh nothing Draco, I just wanted to see how you were," she said, then "Are you feeling better? Have you come to your senses? I saw you out there with the mudblood-" Draco didn't let her continue. He grabbed her wrists and held them together, while pushing her up against the wall.
"Have you been spying on me?" he hissed at her, severely pissed. She just looked at him, her eyes showing fear. Then he realized just how much like Lucius he was behaving. He immediately dropped her hands and backed away in shock "I-I'm s-sorry" his normally cool demeanor was slipping and Pansy just smiled, then left to report to her partner in crime.
*~(^)~*~(^)~*~(^)~*
Harry and Hermione were finally nearing the cave that they knew Sirius was at and they got a surprise when they found Professor Dumbledore there as well.
They rushed inside to greet them both and pulled some food out of their robes to give them "We would have brought more if we'd had known you would be here too Professor" said Harry, but Dumbledore just waved it off like it was nothing.
"Don't worry and please, were not in school right now, so you can call me Albus" he said to them with a smile. "Okay, Albus" said Hermione, trying it out. She smiled and then sat down on the floor, after a hug from Sirius, Harry sat down too.
"So what brings you two here, and say where's Ron?" Sirius asked. This was the first time they had seen him in a while so there was a reason that he hadn't heard about Ron. Hermione looked sad and Harry's face darkened and his fists clinched together.
"Ron, isn't nor will he ever be my friend again!" said Harry. Sirius and Albus both looked shocked "Now, Now, Harry, I'm sure you don't mean that" said Albus
"I most certainly do" he countered. Hermione was nodding her head in agreement. "Well what brought this on?" asked Sirius curiously "From what I've heard, you two seemed like pretty good friends" he finished
"We were" Harry said, "Until he decided to go insane and rape Hermione" he finished. Sirius and Albus just stared at him in shock. "Are you sure?" he asked Hermione, its not polyjuice or anything like that?" Hermione just shook her head. "No, it couldn't be, he said things to me, to a lot of people that only Ron Weasley could know" said Hermione
Albus just looked sad "Well, this is most unfortunate" They all agreed "And that's not even the worst part" said Harry then continued "When we went to go tell Fudge, he refused to believe it, he went on about how Ron was an excellent student and would never do that. He even said that something like that would never happen while he was in charge without him knowing about it. Then he sent us away" he finished
Sirius looked like he could kill and Albus looked furious. "Things are going horribly," said Harry "Fudge is a Death Eater too, did you know that?" Hermione asked them. They didn't seem too shocked but they shook their heads 'no'
"How did you find that out?" asked Sirius "Draco Malfoy" said Hermione "We've been friends with him for a bit and even got into a fight with Ron after he heard about it" she finished "Yeah, they both ended up in the Infirmary" said Harry
"Malfoy?" Dumbledore smiled at this, as if this didn't surprise him "Draco has never really been like his father, it's all for show, I happened to over hear a conversation between him and Severus once, I don't condone eavesdropping, but I always knew there was good in him"
"Yeah, well a few weekends ago, he turned up to take Draco to Voldemort and he flat out refused to go. We helped him out but out numbering him with our wands and he left, and then last weekend he grabbed me and tried to take me away to Voldemort" she finished. Harry just nodded
"Draco saved me from him, but that's not the odd part. Why did Voldemort want me in the first place?" Hermione wondered out loud
"Yeah, we've been trying to figure it out for a while now. I mean what does Hermione have that Voldemort wants?" Harry asked them
"Yeah that is pretty odd. He's against all muggleborns and muggles alike" said Sirius, who hadn't spoken much so far, as he had been eating the food that Harry and Hermione brought him.
"Lucius said that Voldemort had taken an interest in me" she said "I really wonder what that means. There is obviously some kind of secret that I don't know" she sighed "And who knows if I'll ever figure it out"
Dumbledore had kept quiet the entire time and watched them speak about what could possibly be going on
*~(^)~*~(^)~*~(^)~*
Draco Malfoy was wandering around when he saw the youngest Weasley sitting off by herself, looking downcast. He was about to approach her when her older brother, Ron Weasley, walked up to her.
Just the name pissed Draco off and it took a lot of self-control to not just go over there and beat the living daylights out of Ron with his bare hands. He longed to curse and hex that bastard into oblivion.
He watched as the two of them spoke to each other and then Ron said something that sounded like "Stupid Git". Ginny just patted him on his shoulder and said something but Draco couldn't tell what it was. Shortly after the two of them walked away and met up with.
"Pansy?" he questioned aloud **Wonder what they're doing with each other? Something fishy is going on** He looked at his watch and figured he had a half an hour before he had to meet up with Hermione and Potter. Draco decided to follow them and see what they were up to.
Quietly he kept to the shadows and followed after them only catching snippets of their conversation.
*~(^)~*~(^)~*~(^)~*
Dumbledore noticed that they had stopped talking at the same time and they were looking at him. He sighed and began to talk
"Hermione, you've just had a birthday recently, correct me if I'm wrong?" he asked. Hermione just nodded her head and listened intently along with the rest of them.
"I believe that I may know, some of the secrets you wish to find out."
