Hermione and Draco

Chapter Seventeen: The Mysterious Person

A/N: Sorry bout the last cliffie, but I just wanted to see what people would say when I did that and I liked what I saw. I might not do another cliffie maybe. Maybe. Muhahahaha. Anyway before I go crazy again I would like to thank WeasleyGirl, Hollie, Akuma Angel, elf-girl, Meg, and Lara. I know Meg and Lara didn't review last chapter, but hey they still reviewed my story. And I know they would like it if they read the rest of it. Anyway here is the next chapter. I feel really happy with myself for putting two chapters out in one day. Well without further ado here is the next chapter lol.

So we headed down to his office. When they were halfway there they saw someone and not only was it really nasty, but it was very disturbing. It was none other than Professors Snape and McGonagall making out. Not only was it bad enough that they were two of the strictest and meanest teachers, but they were together. (A/N: Sorry to make you wait in suspense for that, but it really was dumb. You have to admit that that is kind of weird and also considering that Snape is married.) 'Um excuse us Professors we just need to go see Professor Dumbledore. And Snape aren't you married?' Hermione asked rather regrettingly (A/N: I made up that word. I'm weird so just ignore it.)

'Oh, Miss Granger and Mr. Malfoy I would really like it if you never mentioned this to my wife and if you do you will see a great decrease in Gryffindor Points,' Snape said rather threateningly.

'Yes, of course Professor now if you don't mind we really need to talk to Professor Dumbledore,' Draco stated.

'Ok, Draco,' Professor McGonagall said.

They headed to Dumbledore's office. When they got there they were standing outside the gargoyle. They had forgotten the password. 'Ah, yes, Crackerjacks,' Hermione said. The gargoyle sprang to life and moved aside. They headed up the moving staircase.

Draco asked, 'What are crackerjacks?'

'Crackerjacks are like popcorn, but they have a different taste and they have peanuts in them.'

'Ohhh.'

They continued until they reached the top. When they reached the door Hermione knocked. 'Come in.'

'Professor we have to tell you something.'

'Proceed.'

So they told him everything when they finished he said, 'Well Draco I was thinking about having the trip to London back on, but I decided now that you told me this that it is definitely off until next year. And for you two you are not allowed on the grounds because you can be taken.'

'We aren't even allowed on the grounds?'

'That's correct Mr. Malfoy. I know it will be a lot like cabin fever (A/N: I'm reading The Shining right now so I just read about cabin fever.) so that is why I'm allowing you to go anywhere you please. As long as it is in the castle.'

'Yes, Professor.'

'So you may go now.'

'Thank you Professor.'

'Draco I need to talk to you alone.'

'Hermione I'll catch up to you later. Ok?' Draco asked.

'Ok.' Draco bent down and kissed her.

When Hermione was gone Dumbledore said, 'I have to tell you something. When they killed your mum they sent me something of hers and I thought that I should tell you.' While he said this he pulled something out of his pocket. It was a bloody handkerchief wrapped in it was a finger. 'This is all that's left of her the rest they said was cast into the sewer where the rats live. I'm sorry Draco.'

'Thanks Professor. If you don't mind I'm going to the bathroom I really don't feel so good.'

'You may go now Draco.'

'Bye.'

As soon as Draco left the building he ran to the bathroom. As soon as he was finished throughing up what food was left in his stomach he went up to the common room pale.'

'Draco what is it. You look as pale as a ghost?'

'Dumbledore showed me my mum's finger and then he told me that her body was cast into the sewer with the rats to get left eaten.'

'Oh, Draco are you going to be ok?' This time it was Padma asking.

'Yeah, I think so. Its just not fare first one of my so called "friends" hits on my girlfriend then I have a threatening letter sent to me, then I see what's left of my mum. I think this day is longer than any other day ever.'

Hermione took him in to her arms and said, 'Draco it will be all right I'm here with you and I promise that I will never leave you. I love you too much.'

'Hermione I'm glad that we made up. I really don't know what I would do without you.'

'Draco don't' worry we need to go to sleep now.'

'Ok,' said a still very shocked Draco.

Just then a person knocked on the door. John got up and answered it. It was someone who obviously scared him because he fainted. They person came into the room and it was.'
