Hermione was shaking Draco's shoulders violently trying to get it out of him, trying to get him to tell her what everyone was fussing over and who was back. All Draco could hear was a distant muffling of her voice, he was still in so much shock.

"Today.in the Prophet." he began

"Yes? Yes?" Hermione pushed him for more

"Voldemort is back."

Her hands dropped from his shoulders and her mouth fell open.

".they said there had been another attack.muggles died.so did some witches.don't know where."

"Oh my god!" Hermione exclaimed, "What else did it say?"

"Nothing much. but it was almost definitely Him who did it.or the work of my father." Draco practically spat out the word father. The hatred he felt towards that man was unbelievable.

Hermione stood there, arms limp at her side, suddenly looking so vulnerable, not the strong girl he had seen before who had quickly returned his insults. But of course, its not as if he hadn't changed himself. He hadn't bothered to insult anyone lately, he hadn't been concerned with girls at all. He was different; did this fit in with Voldemorts plan? He suddenly as if by instinct picked up her hand and held it in his own, her innocent eyes looked up into his and he tried his hardest to smile. When she returned the effort he found him spirit lifted. She had a nice smile and he held her hand because he felt sorry for her. At least that's what he told himself. He refused to admit that he really was falling slowly in love with Hermione.

"But you know what this means, don't you?" he asked her, bighting his lip. The light feeling crashed down onto a bed of nails quickly as he thought of what was coming, what the two of them would have to face.

"What?" she said, cocking her head on one side. Draco thought how cute she looked like that, even if her eyes were sad and her face pale. He concealed a smile as he thought of how it was a lot like his face.

"He's coming for us."

Just at that moment, un be-known to the two teenagers, a pair of snakelike eyes watched them through a red orb.

A hissing voice emerged from the shadows; all that was visible of the figure was the snake eyes reflecting off the orb "You have done me well, itss all going to plan, I am very grateful for all your troubless and thiss will all be wothh your while in thhe end."

"Thank you mater, sir, I am proud to have been assigned this task."

"Well you were my besst option, and one of my besst followers. Your service is much appressiated."

"I live only to serve you, for you are right in all, and this world needs fixing."

"Well, you should be proud of yourself, you have exsseeded all exsspectations. I have to ssay I was ssurprissed to ssay the leasst. You may take your leave and get back to your asssignment."

Blue eyes flashed in the darkness "Thank you, master." And the other man exited, leaving his lord to his own business.

"Yess, you have done me well headmasster."

So there we have it, another chapter. It may not be as good as some of the others because I am having a little creative block here. I have the ideas but the words aren't flowing for some reason.

THANK YOU TO ALL MY REVIEWERS OF THIS STORY!
