Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, because if I did, I would be so rich that I'd…well…I'd be writing the next Harry Potter book and SIRIUS WOULD LIVEEEEE!!!!!!!
Authors Note: Sorry for the long wait, for schools bringin' me down. But, I figured that since I'm home today, and since I'm sick =( and have nothing else to do, that I'd write this chapter. ^^ Thank you for being so patient and once again, I'm sorry. ^^;; And thank you everyone for your reviews. They make my day! ^^
Hermione's eyes lit up, "Y…You do?"
Ginny nodded, smiling. She reached down into her bag and pulled out a mirror.
Ron, Harry, and Hermione stared at her.
Malfoy raised an eye brow, "How is that supposed to tell me anything? It's a mirror…"
Ginny scowled at him.
"That's…that's a Scrying (I'm pretty sure that's how it's spelled) Mirror, isn't it!" Hermione noticed that the glass was black.
Ginny nodded again.
Ron's eyes widened. "Where did you get it?!"
Ginny looked at it and held it up. "Percy sent it to me!"
Hermione looked over to Malfoy. "I'll try anything…"
Malfoy glanced at her, uncomfortable. He had to admit that he was starting to believe them.
Ginny walked over to Malfoy and stood next to him. She closed her eyes and looked as if she were meditating. "Malfoy, please concentrate."
Malfoy looked at her strangely. He sighed. "Why should I?"
Ginny opened her eyes and glared at him. "Because you have to."
Malfoy sighed again and shrugged. "Whatever…" He closed his eyes.
A moment later, the mirror started to glow.
Harry, Hermione, and Ron stared hopefully in Malfoy and Ginny's direction.
Suddenly, a picture appeared on the mirror. Ginny and Malfoy opened their eyes and stared down at it.
It showed Hermione, up against the wall with Malfoy in front of her. Malfoy was holding her chin in his hand and looking sly. The scene switched to Malfoy, who was watching Hermione's back from the table he was sitting at, apparently when they were in detention that time. The scene switched again to Malfoy making the bet with the two Slytherin boys. The next scene showed Hermione slapping Malfoy across the face and running off furiously.
Malfoy watched, somewhat scared, somewhat furious, as everything unfolded before his eyes.
The mirror next showed Malfoy on the ground, holding Hermione's head up. Suddenly, the scene changed to Malfoy leaning toward Hermione and kissing her in the Hospital Wing.
Malfoy's eyes widened as he continued to watch.
It showed Malfoy watching Hermione laughing at Ron from across the Grand Hall
Malfoy shook his head, not wanting to believe any of this.
Malfoy was standing behind Pansy and Millicent with his arms crossed. Hermione was in front of them, shaking. The next scene showed Hermione and Ron outside in the garden during the dance. Hermione was crying and Ron's eyes were downcast.
Malfoy paused and looked up at Hermione, Ron, and Harry. He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head. "Agh…" He felt like he was starting to remember. I…can't…
The mirror showed Hermoine in the bed that was next to Malfoy's bed, crying, with Malfoy staring at her strangely.
Suddenly, the mirror stopped and turned black once again.
Ginny looked up at Malfoy, speechless.
Hermione stared hopefully at Malfoy.
He looked up at her and their eyes locked, before turning suddenly and running off.
"Malfoy!" Ron attempted to run after him, but Hermione grabbed his shoulder.
She shook her head. "I'll go, Ron…" She smiled at Ginny and thanked her before running off in the direction that Malfoy ran.
Ginny watched Hermione run off, "I hope it worked…"
Harry and Ron nodded in agreement.
"Draco! Please stop!" Hermione yelled after him.
To her surprise, he did stop. He turned around to face her. "Hermione, I can't."
Hermione stopped a few feet in front of him. "What?"
"I can't…do this!" He shook his head.
Hermione took another step toward him. "What are you talking about? You remember now!"
Malfoy shook his head and looked angrily at her, "You don't understand! Why didn't you just let it be!? It would've never worked!" He clenched his fists, "You don't understand…"
Hermione felt tears come to her eyes. "I…I thought that…now that you knew, I…" She let tears roll down her cheeks. She turned around. "Fine…" She ran off in the opposite direction, tears now rolling freely down her face.
Malfoy choked back tears and leaned against the wall, "Hermione…" He slid down and sat, still leaning against the wall. He rested his head in his arms and for the first time in his life, he cried.
I know it's not that long. Sorry. I need to rest. But HEY! It's a chapter! ^^;; I hope you all like it…this chapter is kind of depressing…It's dedicated to everyone who had reviewed. Thank you all.
