Chapter 3: Discoveries
More people were arriving to the party. The Hall was completely full. Some of the students had come as couples. The girls had already prepared everything. Pansy stood up to give an impromptu speech as the hostess.
"Oyyy" Please, your attention please" Now Pansy had all the attention on her "I'd like to say that I'm very glad all of you could come to this party I organized. Maybe, to some of you, I was annoying or "a bitch" but maybe you should think that we were kids and now we're almost adults, those little differences we had mean nothing compared to all the years we've spent together. Come 'on Congratulations Promotion 2004 of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. We did it!" The Hall exploded in applauses and cheers.
"SO LETS GET THIS PARTY STARTED. OUR LAST PARTY TOGETHER!" Pansy yelled through the noise.
The music began. Everyone was dancing animatedly.
"I hope people enjoy this," Pansy said nervously
"Everything will be perfect," Hermione reassured her.
"No it's not perfect yet. Pansy and Ginny had still some business to do, right girls," Hannah inquired.
"Okay I'll go first. Wish me luck girls," Ginny said taking a deep breath.
"Luck!" they responded.
Ginny walked towards Harry who was talking to some boys. They continued gazing at Ginny until she stopped her tracks and touched Harry's shoulder. They saw Ginny whispering something to Harry's ear. Then Harry nodded and followed Ginny to a corner (A/N: It's not what you think perverts!). They continued talking until Ginny said some words with a slow pace. Suddenly, Harry took her in his arms and kissed her deeply.
All the girls made an "Awww!" "So sweet" and "Cute"
"Now Pansy, your turn" Hermione stated and pushed her. "Hey watch out with the dress," Pansy warned her.
Pansy was kind of different, a little more direct to be precise; she went, grabbed Ron by the collar and kissed him. Ron seemed surprised at the moment but then relaxed and sneaked his arms around Pansy's waist. People around them had puzzled looks on them. 'Pansy and Ron?' they thought 'A Slytherin and a Gryffindor?' When they pulled apart, both of them had big grins plastered on their faces. Ron took Pansy's hand kissed it and directed to the dance floor.
"Well, now it's only you and me, Mione," Hannah said sadly
"Hey come on we don't need boys to have fun," Hermione said in a happy tone but didn't convince Hannah.
"Tell me Mione how many have you had," Hannah asked
"None."
"Have you ever kissed a boy?"
"Never."
"When was your first date?"
"I've never dated," Hermione answered staring at her feet
"You see, sometimes we do need boys to feel better, they're big idiots but they make us feel loved."
"I know, it's just they only like pretty faces," Hermione said sadly. "But not annoying bookworms."
"However you gotta think that outside there, exists a man that will make you knees weak and that will love you for who you are not what you are," Hannah put her hand on Hermione's shoulder. "And now you shouldn't worry about that, love comes when you least expect it, believe me."
"How come you know so much about love," Hermione asked curiously.
"There's this thing called soap operas, I know they're Muggle things but I love them," Hannah answered. Hermione giggled.
"By the way, I've got some singing to do," Hannah grabbed Hermione's arm "And you have to persuade Draco to dance with you."
"Oh do not remind me that please!" Hermione begged.
Then Pansy and Ginny ran next to her friends with happy faces.
"He likes me!" Pansy yelled and started jumping.
Ginny giggled, "yeah Harry fancies me too," and joined Pansy.
"Well, we see you could make the part of the bet," Hannah said loudly
"Shuushh Hush up Hannah, the boys could hear you and think we only kissed them because of the bet," Pansy said looking around.
"Oops! Sorry girls!" Hannah apologized.
"Now now, Hannah, Hermione and Padma still have to do their dares" Ginny stated "Hey! Where's Padma again?" (A/N: It seems like Padma doesn't *sobs* wanna be in *sobs* my fic *sobs* anymore *sobs*)
"Again, she's there with Justin," (A/N: Oh well, in this case, it's ok)
"But she stills have to dance tango with him!" Pansy protested.
"Oh she will," Hannah went, grasped Padma's arm and took her near the girls.
"Hey girls," Padma said happily.
"Hey what's up with Justin?" Hermione asked
"Oh nothing new just the fact that he asked me out and now I'm officially his girlfriend!" Padma said quickly.
"What?!" they said at the unison "So cool! Congratulations!" and they hugged Padma (A/N: There should be a law against hugs)
"And don't worry cause I will dance tango with him" Padma informed.
"I've got an idea! I'm gonna sing "Thing I'll never say" (A/N: By Avril Lavigne, I love that song, actually, I love all Avril Lavigne songs) and then I'll sing "Objection" (A/N: By Shakira. Latin music rule!) That is kinda Tango so you'll dance that with Justin, ok?" Hannah said.
"Hold on. That means I am supposed to dance with Draco "things I'll never say"? Hermione said with a shocked face.
"Yes."
"AND no buts," Pansy added seeing that Hermione was about to open her mouth-
"We better do it now before I escape," Hermione sighed.
"Great now follow me" Hannah walked towards the stage.
"Wait gimme 10 mins to persuade Draco" Hermione said rapidly and then turned to Draco's direction.
He was talking and laughing with Legolas. 'Great now I have to deal with the other git too' she thought. As soon as she reached them she coughed loudly, but they seemed oblivious to the world surrounding them. (A/N: Hey! That sounded bad)
"Malfoy!" she finally spat.
They turned and gave her confused looks.
"Are you lost?" Legolas asked.
"No, I was just wondering if I could dance with Malfoy," Hermione muttered loudly enough for them to hear.
"YOU want to dance with ME?" Draco said with a bewildered expression "Sorry to disappoint you but I do not dance with Mudbloods" he continued.
"Well, now you wil," She gave him THE LOOK and grabbed his hand, she walked to the dance floor. He had been silent because he still couldn't believe Granger actually wanted to dance with him.
"Are you drunk?" He enquired.
"Oh come on. We are out of Hogwarts, we are not Gryffindor or Slytherin anymore we are Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy."
"So?" he didn't seem to get the point.
"So we can dance like normal teenagers."
He still thought that this was wrong but when he checked out Granger he realized that the girl was no longer a girl but a woman and 'what a woman' he thought 'she did grow up and very well. Hang on a minute! This is mudblood Granger we are talking about' but his thoughts were interrupted when Hermione spoke again.
"Come on! I like this song"
Hannah had entered to the little stage; Pansy had ordered to put up the mini stage because some of the students wanted to sing too, like karaoke.
"Hello people! I'm gonna sing 'Thing I'll never say'! Hope you enjoy it" then a fast rhythm started.
Hermione started the dance with the music but Draco wouldn't move and just stood on the dance floor. Then Hermione took hold of his hands and swirled around him.
I'm tugging at my hair
I'm pulling at my clothes
I'm trying to keep my cool
Draco looked at her with a strange look, then he realized that he had been checking out the Mudblood again, ' no this has to stop Tonight I'll tell her how much I hate her, I'll tell her about Krum.'
I know it shows
I'm staring at my feet
My checks are turning red
I'm searching for the words inside my head
Cause I'm feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
Cause I know you're worth it
You're worth it
Yeah
Hermione sang the entire chorus. Obviously, she liked the song.
If I could say what I want to say
I'd say I wanna blow you... away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight?
If I could say what I want to see
I want to see you go down
On one knee
Hermione imagined herself being requested by a handsome guy.
Marry me today
Yes, I'm wishing my life away
With these things I'll never say
It don't do me any good
It's just a waste of time
What use is it to you?
What's on my mind?
Hermione touched her head like she was crazy.
If ain't coming out
We're not going anywhere
So why can't I just tell you that I care
Hermione mouthed 'that I care' to Draco but added 'don't' between 'I' and 'care'
Cause I'm feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
Cause I know you're worth it
You're worth it
Yeah
If I could say what I want to say
I'd say I wanna blow you...
Hermione sang slowly 'away'.
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight?
"Actually you are" Draco whispered near her ear. She released his hands a little and blushed.
If I could say what I want to see
I want to see you go down
On one knee
Marry me today
Yes, I'm wishing my life away
With these things I'll never say
"Do you really felt that way?" he said with a seductive smirk. She looked at him confused.
What's wrong with my tongue?
These words keep slipping away
I stutter, I stumble
Like I've got nothing to say
"No" she shouted through the music.
Cause I'm feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
Cause I know you're worth it
You're worth it
Yeah
"I think you do. Cause you know that Wonder Boy and the Weasel would never fall for you and because you're nothing but a filthy Mudblood, remember that day at Viktor's house. Well, you know what? We made a bet on you. That you'd fall for him and you did. Gosh I've never laughed so much in my life" The song was getting closer to the end.
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight?
If I could say what I want to see
I want to see you go down
On one knee
Marry me today
Yes, I'm wishing my life away
With these things I'll never say
These things I'll never say
When the music finally ended. Hermione was in shock, she felt stupid. She actually fell for Krum. Wait and why should she believe Malfoy, but then she remembered that day.
***Flashback***
"Hmm. Viktor I've got something to tell you"
"Sure Her-my-oh-ninny"
"I think I'm in love with you"
"Oh" was what he'd said "Well, that's good" The she learned forward to receive a kiss but he pulled backward and said instead "Hmm... I'd be right back"
*** Flashback***
Then the next song started "Objection"; she continued in shock then Malfoy opened his mouth again, "yes, Granger he went to send me an owl. He told me everything," he'd guessed her thoughts. Her face was blank, emotionless but her eyes were filled with tears, she turned and walked to the door. He stood there watching her, he felt like a hero 'You do what you had to do Draco' he thought ' Don't feel bad' But really deep he felt a thing that he didn't know what it was, but something told him that it was. (A/N: OK this part is about what happened after the revelation, inside with Draco and outside with Hermione)
Outside
Hermione's face was now totally wet from all the tears, she couldn't believe how stupid she had been. She hated Krum, she hated Malfoy, and she hated herself. Why was so difficult to feel love, why did men reject her, was she that annoying, was it because she was a know-it-all. Then she imagined herself in a reunion with her friends all happily married and with children and she was still living alone with Crookshanks. In the middle of all these thoughts she heard footsteps, and turned around and saw Legolas standing there.
"What are you doing here?" she asked
"I saw Draco telling you something and then you running here."
"I wasn't running," Hermione felt dumb. I wasn't running what kind of answer is that?!
"Oh right, you were walking fast. Anyway, I was wondering about the reason for your disgrace" he was getting closer and closer.
"Draco, he just said something true," she didn't want to repeat his words.
"I see. Well, I could comfort you, I can give you my shoulder for you to cry on it or maybe I could give you something else." With these last words, their faces were a few inches apart.
"What do you mean?" she asked slowly, afraid he could try something.
He suddenly grabbed her dress and tried to rip it apart, she yelled, "Help!" She was so scared but at the same time, she felt brave enough to kick him on The Spot.
He screamed, "You bitch!" She ran as fast as she could but he grasped her foot and she fell too. "Help!" she continued yelling.
Inside (A/N: Right after the incident)
Pansy saw this and immediately told Ron and the both of them went to talk to him.
"Explain Malfoy," Ron said with a warning look.
"What do you mean?"
"We saw Hermione going out and her eyes were unusually filled with tears," Pansy explained.
"I only told her the truth! That she was a Mudblood," Draco said slowly.
"You bastard!" Ron yelled and was about to throw himself on Draco however Pansy took hold of Ron's shirt and pulled him back.
"Fighting isn't gonna fix anything. Draco Malfoy, Go Out Now and apologize to Hermione! If you don't, you'll be so sorry," Pansy warned.
Draco didn't say anything but then he remembered when they were six years old 'It's not a good thing to mess up with an angry Pansy'.
"Objection" finally ended and Draco went out.
He opened the door and walked towards the lake (AN: They had their own lake! And I don't even have a pool)
He heard some noises coming from the other side of the lake; they were woman's yells. 'Great Granger, now I have to rescue you' Draco followed the yells and found Hermione being pulled down by Legolas.
"Legolas? Stop!" Draco shouted. He ran towards Hermione and released her from Legolas' grasp. She muttered thanks.
"Yeah, whatever" he mumbled. He got closer to his friend.
"Legolas? Are you alright?" Legolas, still on the grass, looked peacefully asleep. Draco tried to wake him up but nothing worked.
"What happened?" Draco suddenly asked
"Don't know, I came here and he said he had followed me, and he tried to ." Hermione couldn't say the words.
"To attack you" Draco helped her.
"Hmm... yeah," she simply said.
"I think I will carry him to the house"
"I can help you if you want to" Hermione offered.
"Yeah sure" Neither of them wanted to speak about the former events, even though, Hermione still had her eyes red from all the crying. Draco noticed this but didn't comment about it; it just wasn't the right time.
When they reached the house Pansy and Ron were waiting for them at the door, both of them looking really worried.
Pansy gasped at the sight of his unconscious brother.
"Oh my God! What happened to Legolas?"
"He tried to attack Granger" Draco explained "And then he fell asleep or something"
"Come in. Could you please get him to his room, I'll call my parents" Pansy requested. Draco nodded.
Ron helped Hermione, so she could rest. She was obviously exhausted.
They took him to his dorm and Pansy's parents quickly appeared and a woman following them.
"Please, go. I need space to examine him" Obviously the woman was a mediwitch.
The four teenagers went outside. Hermione and Ron were trying to comfort Pansy. "Ssshh, Pansy, everything will be all right," Hermione hugged tightly her crying friend.
"Yeah babe Just calm down," Ron comforted her. There was a moment of silence for awhile.
"I think I know what happened out there," Draco unexpectedly said.
"You do? How come?" Pansy managed to say despite her sobs.
"He told me, he had been meeting with some guy four months ago, they met each other in the Leaky Cauldron, I don't remember his name right now, but the thing was that this guy was a death eater," Hermione and Ron jumped at those words
"He was the one who provided Legolas with the dark arts magazines" He stopped and after a couple of silent minutes "I knew that was something was not right about that guy, Legolas sometimes changed and even scared me a little" Draco continued "I'm really worried, y'know Pansy, I consider both of you my best friends"
Pansy smiled and threw her arms around Draco "I know Draco; you're my best friend too"
Ron felt a little jealous and was about to get closer but Hermione stopped him "It's not the right time, Ron"
Then the door finally opened. And Lienna's stepped out.
"Mum What happened?" Pansy hugged her mother by the waist.
"Legolas. he was under the imperious course," The four of them gasped in surprise.
"But.but. who would try to hex him?" Pansy asked in disbelief.
"Legolas said it had been someone named JB," Pansy's father answered.
"Yes, it was him, the death eater!" Draco yelled, he finally remembered the name.
"What death eater?" Lienna asked concerned. Draco explained everything to her, about the magazines and all.
Hermione, who had been quiet, finally managed to say something.
"Was that the reason he attacked me today?"
"I'm totally sure, Hermione, Legolas would never do such thing willingly," Lienna defended her son. "Besides, he says so." Hermione just nodded.
"Lienna, may we go in?" Draco asked expectantly.
"Of course, Draco" Lienna smiled at the boy.
Draco and Pansy entered to the room. Ron and Hermione weren't sure whether or not to enter, however Pansy made a gesture to come in.
They saw a fragile body lying on a four-posted bed; they got closer and saw Legolas widely awake and looking at the ceiling.
"Yo!" Draco said. Legolas looked at his best friend and grinned
"Hi bro! Worried about me, Malfoy?" Legolas joked.
"In your dreams Parkinson," Draco teased and then laughed.
Hermione realized that this boy wasn't the one who attacked her, he looked innocent, he looked like a little child smiling like that.
"Legolas!" Pansy hugged him (A/N: If you hate hugs just tell me cuz I do!) tightly and started to cry, "I thought you. Oh my God," Pansy said between sobs.
"Whoa, someone needs to take her Prozac" Legolas joked. (A/N: I know it's Muggle!)
"You brat! I was so worried about you"
"Hey Pans, I know that sometimes I acted strangely, I'm really sorry, It wasn't me," Legolas patted her back affectively.
"Will he be alright?" Draco asked the mediwitch.
"Yes, I was about to say that, I have to explain something to you," the mediwitch responded.
She had their full attention.
"He had been under the imperious curse, as you know. Now, he's conscious but I've discovered that he is under another curse as well, it makes him to be prone to curses, what I'm trying to say it's that his soul is cursed, and I'm sorry to say this but I don't know the cure."
At this, Pansy's father exploded and Lienna fell to the floor dismayed.
"What! So what are we paying for? This is my son's soul we're talking about!" Pansy's father tried to catch the mediwitch (A/N: Quite aggressive!). The mediwitch looked terrified and backed down.
Pansy grabbed his father by the collar like an angry dog
"Calm down dad!" Pansy screamed. Draco followed too and grabbed him too. "Weasley help your future father-in-law is trying to attack a woman!" Draco yelled. Ron looked surprise at the mention of his name and hurried to help Draco. Hermione stared the scene but then 'God! I'm such a fool, she thought.
"I know the cure!" she screamed but no one heard her. Then, she went near Draco and patted his shoulder with her finger.
"What do you want Granger?" asked Draco hastily
"I know the cure," she repeated.
"WHAT! And you're telling me that NOW?!" Draco yelled angrily.
"I just remembered it"
"Ok! Ok! Everybody! Attention! We have the cure!" Draco screamed again.
Everybody turned and looked at Draco surprised, they couldn't believe it.
"Granger knows it," Draco stated slowly.
"She does? Oh Lord!" Pansy's father hugged Hermione like a father to his daughter.
"Oh my God Hermione you're the best! Where did you learn it?" Pansy asked intrigued.
"Well, Pansy, when you spend uncountable hours in the library sometimes you learn useful things" Hermione responded reasonably.
Pansy smiled, turned her head and saw Ron trying to wake up Lienna. "It looks like she's kind of sensitive" "Yeah" replied Pansy "I hope she doesn't get like that when we tell her about us" Ron said that and Pansy giggled.
"So, what's the cure?" Pansy's father asked.
"It's actually a potion; I memorized the recipe so if you have all the necessary ingredients I can brew it up tonight" Hermione assured.
"Of course! Just right them on a paper and you will have them ready for tonight" Pansy's father seemed very happy.
"Oh just one little detail, it has to be prepared at midnight, I don't actually know why," Hermione added quickly
"Don't worry Miss."
"Granger sir, Hermione Granger" Hermione answered.
"Ok, Hermione, can I call you Hermione?" he asked.
She nodded "Ok, Hermione, oh by the way my name is Alan. Thank you very much. We really appreciate it"
"I'm very happy to help besides, Pansy is one of my best friends" Hermione said contently.
"So, everything is settled. Shall we go to our Astronomy tower?" Alan informed the others.

"Again, she's there with Justin," (A/N: Oh well, in this case, it's ok)

"Oh she will," Hannah went, grasped Padma's arm and took her near the girls.

"Hey what's up with Justin?" Hermione asked

"Malfoy!" she finally spat.
They turned and gave her confused looks.
"Are you lost?" Legolas asked.
"No, I was just wondering if I could dance with Malfoy," Hermione muttered loudly enough for them to hear.
"YOU want to dance with ME?" Draco said with a bewildered expression "Sorry to disappoint you but I do not dance with Mudbloods" he continued.
"Well, now you wil," She gave him THE LOOK and grabbed his hand, she walked to the dance floor. He had been silent because he still couldn't believe Granger actually wanted to dance with him.

"Hello people! I'm gonna sing 'Thing I'll never say'! Hope you enjoy it" then a fast rhythm started.
Hermione started the dance with the music but Draco wouldn't move and just stood on the dance floor. Then Hermione took hold of his hands and swirled around him.
I'm tugging at my hair
I'm pulling at my clothes
I'm trying to keep my cool
Draco looked at her with a strange look, then he realized that he had been checking out the Mudblood again, ' no this has to stop Tonight I'll tell her how much I hate her, I'll tell her about Krum.'
I know it shows
I'm staring at my feet
My checks are turning red
I'm searching for the words inside my head
Cause I'm feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
Cause I know you're worth it
You're worth it
Yeah
Hermione sang the entire chorus. Obviously, she liked the song.
If I could say what I want to say
I'd say I wanna blow you... away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight?
If I could say what I want to see
I want to see you go down
On one knee
Hermione imagined herself being requested by a handsome guy.
Marry me today
Yes, I'm wishing my life away
With these things I'll never say
It don't do me any good
It's just a waste of time
What use is it to you?
What's on my mind?
Hermione touched her head like she was crazy.
If ain't coming out
We're not going anywhere
So why can't I just tell you that I care
Hermione mouthed 'that I care' to Draco but added 'don't' between 'I' and 'care'
Cause I'm feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
Cause I know you're worth it
You're worth it
Yeah
If I could say what I want to say
I'd say I wanna blow you...
Hermione sang slowly 'away'.
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight?
"Actually you are" Draco whispered near her ear. She released his hands a little and blushed.
If I could say what I want to see
I want to see you go down
On one knee
Marry me today
Yes, I'm wishing my life away
With these things I'll never say
"Do you really felt that way?" he said with a seductive smirk. She looked at him confused.
What's wrong with my tongue?
These words keep slipping away
I stutter, I stumble
Like I've got nothing to say
"No" she shouted through the music.
Cause I'm feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
Cause I know you're worth it
You're worth it
Yeah
"I think you do. Cause you know that Wonder Boy and the Weasel would never fall for you and because you're nothing but a filthy Mudblood, remember that day at Viktor's house. Well, you know what? We made a bet on you. That you'd fall for him and you did. Gosh I've never laughed so much in my life" The song was getting closer to the end.
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight?
If I could say what I want to see
I want to see you go down
On one knee
Marry me today
Yes, I'm wishing my life away
With these things I'll never say
These things I'll never say
When the music finally ended. Hermione was in shock, she felt stupid. She actually fell for Krum. Wait and why should she believe Malfoy, but then she remembered that day.
***Flashback***
"Hmm. Viktor I've got something to tell you"
"Sure Her-my-oh-ninny"
"I think I'm in love with you"
"Oh" was what he'd said "Well, that's good" The she learned forward to receive a kiss but he pulled backward and said instead "Hmm... I'd be right back"
*** Flashback***
Then the next song started "Objection"; she continued in shock then Malfoy opened his mouth again, "yes, Granger he went to send me an owl. He told me everything," he'd guessed her thoughts. Her face was blank, emotionless but her eyes were filled with tears, she turned and walked to the door. He stood there watching her, he felt like a hero 'You do what you had to do Draco' he thought ' Don't feel bad' But really deep he felt a thing that he didn't know what it was, but something told him that it was. (A/N: OK this part is about what happened after the revelation, inside with Draco and outside with Hermione)
Outside
Hermione's face was now totally wet from all the tears, she couldn't believe how stupid she had been. She hated Krum, she hated Malfoy, and she hated herself. Why was so difficult to feel love, why did men reject her, was she that annoying, was it because she was a know-it-all. Then she imagined herself in a reunion with her friends all happily married and with children and she was still living alone with Crookshanks. In the middle of all these thoughts she heard footsteps, and turned around and saw Legolas standing there.
"What are you doing here?" she asked
"I saw Draco telling you something and then you running here."
"I wasn't running," Hermione felt dumb. I wasn't running what kind of answer is that?!
"Oh right, you were walking fast. Anyway, I was wondering about the reason for your disgrace" he was getting closer and closer.
"Draco, he just said something true," she didn't want to repeat his words.
"I see. Well, I could comfort you, I can give you my shoulder for you to cry on it or maybe I could give you something else." With these last words, their faces were a few inches apart.
"What do you mean?" she asked slowly, afraid he could try something.
He suddenly grabbed her dress and tried to rip it apart, she yelled, "Help!" She was so scared but at the same time, she felt brave enough to kick him on The Spot.
He screamed, "You bitch!" She ran as fast as she could but he grasped her foot and she fell too. "Help!" she continued yelling.
Inside (A/N: Right after the incident)
Pansy saw this and immediately told Ron and the both of them went to talk to him.
"Explain Malfoy," Ron said with a warning look.
"What do you mean?"
"We saw Hermione going out and her eyes were unusually filled with tears," Pansy explained.
"I only told her the truth! That she was a Mudblood," Draco said slowly.
"You bastard!" Ron yelled and was about to throw himself on Draco however Pansy took hold of Ron's shirt and pulled him back.
"Fighting isn't gonna fix anything. Draco Malfoy, Go Out Now and apologize to Hermione! If you don't, you'll be so sorry," Pansy warned.
Draco didn't say anything but then he remembered when they were six years old 'It's not a good thing to mess up with an angry Pansy'.
"Objection" finally ended and Draco went out.
He opened the door and walked towards the lake (AN: They had their own lake! And I don't even have a pool)
He heard some noises coming from the other side of the lake; they were woman's yells. 'Great Granger, now I have to rescue you' Draco followed the yells and found Hermione being pulled down by Legolas.
"Legolas? Stop!" Draco shouted. He ran towards Hermione and released her from Legolas' grasp. She muttered thanks.
"Yeah, whatever" he mumbled. He got closer to his friend.
"Legolas? Are you alright?" Legolas, still on the grass, looked peacefully asleep. Draco tried to wake him up but nothing worked.
"What happened?" Draco suddenly asked
"Don't know, I came here and he said he had followed me, and he tried to ." Hermione couldn't say the words.
"To attack you" Draco helped her.
"Hmm... yeah," she simply said.
"I think I will carry him to the house"
"I can help you if you want to" Hermione offered.
"Yeah sure" Neither of them wanted to speak about the former events, even though, Hermione still had her eyes red from all the crying. Draco noticed this but didn't comment about it; it just wasn't the right time.
When they reached the house Pansy and Ron were waiting for them at the door, both of them looking really worried.
Pansy gasped at the sight of his unconscious brother.
"Oh my God! What happened to Legolas?"
"He tried to attack Granger" Draco explained "And then he fell asleep or something"
"Come in. Could you please get him to his room, I'll call my parents" Pansy requested. Draco nodded.
Ron helped Hermione, so she could rest. She was obviously exhausted.
They took him to his dorm and Pansy's parents quickly appeared and a woman following them.
"Please, go. I need space to examine him" Obviously the woman was a mediwitch.
The four teenagers went outside. Hermione and Ron were trying to comfort Pansy. "Ssshh, Pansy, everything will be all right," Hermione hugged tightly her crying friend.
"Yeah babe Just calm down," Ron comforted her. There was a moment of silence for awhile.
"I think I know what happened out there," Draco unexpectedly said.
"You do? How come?" Pansy managed to say despite her sobs.
"He told me, he had been meeting with some guy four months ago, they met each other in the Leaky Cauldron, I don't remember his name right now, but the thing was that this guy was a death eater," Hermione and Ron jumped at those words
"He was the one who provided Legolas with the dark arts magazines" He stopped and after a couple of silent minutes "I knew that was something was not right about that guy, Legolas sometimes changed and even scared me a little" Draco continued "I'm really worried, y'know Pansy, I consider both of you my best friends"
Pansy smiled and threw her arms around Draco "I know Draco; you're my best friend too"
Ron felt a little jealous and was about to get closer but Hermione stopped him "It's not the right time, Ron"
Then the door finally opened. And Lienna's stepped out.
"Mum What happened?" Pansy hugged her mother by the waist.
"Legolas. he was under the imperious course," The four of them gasped in surprise.
"But.but. who would try to hex him?" Pansy asked in disbelief.
"Legolas said it had been someone named JB," Pansy's father answered.
"Yes, it was him, the death eater!" Draco yelled, he finally remembered the name.
"What death eater?" Lienna asked concerned. Draco explained everything to her, about the magazines and all.
Hermione, who had been quiet, finally managed to say something.
"Was that the reason he attacked me today?"
"I'm totally sure, Hermione, Legolas would never do such thing willingly," Lienna defended her son. "Besides, he says so." Hermione just nodded.
"Lienna, may we go in?" Draco asked expectantly.
"Of course, Draco" Lienna smiled at the boy.
Draco and Pansy entered to the room. Ron and Hermione weren't sure whether or not to enter, however Pansy made a gesture to come in.
They saw a fragile body lying on a four-posted bed; they got closer and saw Legolas widely awake and looking at the ceiling.
"Yo!" Draco said. Legolas looked at his best friend and grinned
"Hi bro! Worried about me, Malfoy?" Legolas joked.
"In your dreams Parkinson," Draco teased and then laughed.
Hermione realized that this boy wasn't the one who attacked her, he looked innocent, he looked like a little child smiling like that.
"Legolas!" Pansy hugged him (A/N: If you hate hugs just tell me cuz I do!) tightly and started to cry, "I thought you. Oh my God," Pansy said between sobs.
"Whoa, someone needs to take her Prozac" Legolas joked. (A/N: I know it's Muggle!)
"You brat! I was so worried about you"
"Hey Pans, I know that sometimes I acted strangely, I'm really sorry, It wasn't me," Legolas patted her back affectively.
"Will he be alright?" Draco asked the mediwitch.
"Yes, I was about to say that, I have to explain something to you," the mediwitch responded.
She had their full attention.
"He had been under the imperious curse, as you know. Now, he's conscious but I've discovered that he is under another curse as well, it makes him to be prone to curses, what I'm trying to say it's that his soul is cursed, and I'm sorry to say this but I don't know the cure."
At this, Pansy's father exploded and Lienna fell to the floor dismayed.
"What! So what are we paying for? This is my son's soul we're talking about!" Pansy's father tried to catch the mediwitch (A/N: Quite aggressive!). The mediwitch looked terrified and backed down.
Pansy grabbed his father by the collar like an angry dog
"Calm down dad!" Pansy screamed. Draco followed too and grabbed him too. "Weasley help your future father-in-law is trying to attack a woman!" Draco yelled. Ron looked surprise at the mention of his name and hurried to help Draco. Hermione stared the scene but then 'God! I'm such a fool, she thought.
"I know the cure!" she screamed but no one heard her. Then, she went near Draco and patted his shoulder with her finger.
"What do you want Granger?" asked Draco hastily
"I know the cure," she repeated.
"WHAT! And you're telling me that NOW?!" Draco yelled angrily.
"I just remembered it"
"Ok! Ok! Everybody! Attention! We have the cure!" Draco screamed again.
Everybody turned and looked at Draco surprised, they couldn't believe it.
"Granger knows it," Draco stated slowly.
"She does? Oh Lord!" Pansy's father hugged Hermione like a father to his daughter.
"Oh my God Hermione you're the best! Where did you learn it?" Pansy asked intrigued.
"Well, Pansy, when you spend uncountable hours in the library sometimes you learn useful things" Hermione responded reasonably.
Pansy smiled, turned her head and saw Ron trying to wake up Lienna. "It looks like she's kind of sensitive" "Yeah" replied Pansy "I hope she doesn't get like that when we tell her about us" Ron said that and Pansy giggled.
"So, what's the cure?" Pansy's father asked.
"It's actually a potion; I memorized the recipe so if you have all the necessary ingredients I can brew it up tonight" Hermione assured.
"Of course! Just right them on a paper and you will have them ready for tonight" Pansy's father seemed very happy.
"Oh just one little detail, it has to be prepared at midnight, I don't actually know why," Hermione added quickly
"Don't worry Miss."
"Granger sir, Hermione Granger" Hermione answered.
"Ok, Hermione, can I call you Hermione?" he asked.
She nodded "Ok, Hermione, oh by the way my name is Alan. Thank you very much. We really appreciate it"
"I'm very happy to help besides, Pansy is one of my best friends" Hermione said contently.
"So, everything is settled. Shall we go to our Astronomy tower?" Alan informed the others.
