Chapter 13-Another Prophecy
Disclaimer: I only own the plot.
After they had explained to Dumbledore what had happened Dumbledore had wanted them to never be alone, they were to have at least two other people with them at all times, except for obvious exceptions. He then told them that they would just have to wait for the prophecy to be fulfilled to find out the identities of the other heirs. Turns out that he had already searched the Hogwarts library and their library for a spell or potion that would reveal the others. "But I do know how you will identify them. There were three more prophecies that I found, but they were not next to yours, Hermione, so I didn't expect there to be any others about your.helpers shall we call them.
"On the day the darkness is overturned,
Gryffindor will hold the Light,
Slytherin will hold the Love,
Hufflepuff will hold the Life,
Just as Ravenclaw will hold the Knowledge,
Hufflepuff will die twice in this war,
But in the end will walk the Earth,
Slytherin and Gryffindor,
Will each die once, but as Hufflepuff,
Will stay on Earth, unscathed."
"Some of Rowena Ravenclaw's famous traits were her powers to heal and bring life to those that are already dead (A/N I am making this up, but if you see in the real Harry Potter books a real trait of any of the Four Founders, then please put it on a review so I can get it.). Some of Helga Hufflepuff's famous traits were her powers to control the weather at a certain place, meaning clouds, winds, rain, lightning, tornados/hurricanes, earthquakes, and tsunamis. Some of Godric Gryffindor's famous traits were his powers to pause time for a few minutes and also to change his appearance at will. Some of Salazar Slytherin's famous traits were his powers to speak in parseltongue and his ability with animals. I am unsure as to whether you, Mr. Malfoy, will develop the ability to speak parseltongue, but you never know. Those are the most well known facts about the four founders of Hogwarts. There is a record-book somewhere on them and all of their traits, but it was lost, and no one knows when or where. The abilities should start appearing soon, and-"
"I think Hermione's are already coming," interrupted Draco, "Because tonight, as Hermione was turning the corner into my row, she slipped and I saw her knee split open and then repair itself, the skin started wavering and then the two sides of the cut pushed together and the cut was gone. It happened really fast and I don't think she even noticed that it happened, but I saw it occur and as we passed the spot on the way out I saw a little stain of blood on the carpet," Draco interrupted. Hermione just looked confused, she hadn't noticed herself get cut, but she brought her knee up to her face and examined the scar. It hadn't been there before, how strange, but she was probably just getting her powers like Dumbledore said.
"Now, I expect you two are very tired and you do need to get some sleep tonight, even if tomorrow is a Saturday, so, off to bed with you two," Was it just Hermione's imagination, or was Dumbledore trying to get them out, it didn't matter, he was right. Draco led her up to her room, she was practically asleep on her feet. And there they fell asleep almost before their heads hit their pillows.
After they were gone Dumbledore turned to Fawkes, his ever-faithful friend. "I hate not reading the whole prophecy to them, but I don't think everything will work out the same if I did. But I shall read it to you just to get it off my chest.
"But a price must be paid,
Rowena's life will be lost,
Only love may save her now,
And that is only an if,
If their love for her is strong enough,
If hers is just as strong,
She may live through this yet,
For there is always hope in love."
Hermione woke up when she heard, "WHAT THE-" Her eyes snapped open to Ron's face hanging above her. "-BLOODY-" but before he could finish she grabbed her wand.
"Silencio, now Ron, we can go down to the common room and talk about whatever you wanted to talk about, okay?" Hermione slid out of bed and grabbed Ron's wrist and began leading him to the common room, very aware of Ron glaring at Draco's sleeping form under her blankets.
Down in the common room Hermione took the silencing spell off of Ron and sat on the green couch. "Now, what did you want to talk about?" Hermione looked up at Ron who just stared at her.
"You-you sleep with him?" Ron managed, Hermione had to use all of her self- control to not laugh at his expression.
"Probably not in the way that you are thinking of, but yes, we sleep in the same bed, if that is what you mean," she said calmly. She read his open face, and answered the question that was there, but wouldn't be voiced. "Yes Ron, I am still a virgin," He looked uncomfortable having this conversation with her and so changed the subject.
"Why did you sleep so late, you missed breakfast and lunch, and now there is only half an hour until dinner," Ron began.
"Shoot, seriously?" Ron nodded, "Okay then, you and Harry meet me at Hagrid's hut after dinner and I will tell you everything that happened last night, but I've gotta go get ready for dinner, okay? I'll see you and Harry after dinner Ron, bye," How could she and Draco sleep so late? Oh well, last night had been very busy. Hermione jumped on the bed and shook Draco awake. "Draco, Draco, WAKE UP, WE ONLY HAVE A HALF HOUR BEFORE DINNER!" Dang, was he a heavy sleeper.
Draco groaned, "Five more minutes, please, I'm still tired."
"Nope, otherwise we're going to be late for dinner," Hermione said. This got him up. Without another word he dashed out of her bedroom to get dressed. She grinned at his back and began to get dressed herself.
They met in their common room and walked into the Great Hall together, holding hands (of course). They didn't care if everyone saw them, or found out that they were a couple, because the only person they had ever wanted, or rather, needed to keep it a secret from was Lucious Malfoy, and he had found that out last night. They walked in with the last stragglers, coming from the seventh floor and no wanting to rush. The whole hall looked up at them and stared as they walked to the Prefect/Head table and sat down next to each other. The food appeared on the tables and only the Prefects, Heads and Harry and Ron started to eat right away. Hermione and Draco were nothing new to them, but the rest of the Hall broke out in whispered speculation as to why Hermione and Draco hadn't attended breakfast and lunch, and then appeared at dinner holding hands. Hermione and Draco didn't care, they had been expecting this.
Halfway through dinner Pansy Parkinson came over. "Drakey-Poo, why were you holding hands with the mudblood earlier?" Pansy asked, fluttering her eyelids.
"Because I love her, and she isn't a mudblood and if you call her that again you will wish you were never born," Draco said coldly. Hermione giggled.
"But-but, I thought you loved me, Drakey-Poo, has she put a spell on you?" Pansy seemed outraged that Hermione had been chosen over her.
Draco laughed cruelly, "Pansy I never loved you, you just wanted to believe that I did so that you could get my money. Now, please leave us, and if I have to ask you again it won't be pretty."
"Fine, I will just have to tell your father and see what he has to say about this," Pansy turned to walk away, but stopped for a minute when she heard Draco's voice behind her.
"He already knows, and you know what, he doesn't approve, and you know what else, I don't care," Draco and Hermione turned back to their dinners.
