"Oh my god!" exclaimed Draco. He looked her up and down before realizing who it was standing before him. "No way! It can't be!"

"I'm here now, okay! So get over yourself! Now what do you want? I don't have all day you know. I got better things to do," she replied, her voice full of venom. Draco was astonished. What happened to her?

"What's the matter with you?" he asked.

"Nothing! What's the matter with you?! It's like you've never seen me before!" Hermione replied.

"You came back from the dead! That's impossible! And what's the matter with you? You look like you just came out of the Dark Lord's liar, or become a "gangster" as muggles call it," he quipped in.

"Well too bad for you. You wished that I would come back and here I am. Now if you don't like it, try to change it. Anyway, where's the food, I'm starving!" she exclaimed. Draco was rendered silent. So his wish did come true. Shooting stars do work. But why did she come back this way? Was this some kind of test? Oh well, better try to change it.

Draco Malfoy loves a challenge.

Hermione followed Draco downstairs. He whipped up some breakfast and the kids and Tiffany came running. But they all stood still in the doorway when they saw their mum.

"Mum!" cried Adelaide and the twins in unison as they ran up to hug her.

"Ugh, too much love! Get away from me!" she cried as she hauled them off of her.

"Daddy, what the matter with mummy?" asked Austin, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Yeah, My, don't you remember me?" asked Tiffany. Hermione shot her a glare and looked away.

"Mummy's having a bad day, that's all. Now I want you to stay away from her and give her room, okay? I'll explain later." 3 little heads nodded in agreement as they sat down to eat. The twins approved of this but Adelaide and Tiffany seemed suspicious.

"Are you going to tell the others at Hogwarts?" she asked. Draco paused. He hadn't thought about that. But he didn't want to burden everyone in Hogwarts. But still, the kids and Dumbledore deserved to know. Maybe Dumbledore knows how to fix her.

"Yes, I'll owl them later. Now eat up!" he said as he placed the food on the table. Hermione took the gum out of her mouth and stuck it under the table. Draco sighed and headed to write the letter, but he was paranoid at all times, afraid of what Hermione could do to the kids while he was gone.

He sent the owl and went back to the living room to find Hermione watching MTV as all the kids sat around her, their eyes huge and full of interest in things they shouldn't see. Draco snatched the remote out of her hand and turned it off.

"Yo, what's up with that?" asked Hermione.

"Kids, didn't I tell you to leave Hermione alone? Now go off and play outside or something." The kids seemed sad to leave the TV, but left anyway. Once they were gone, Hermione turned on the TV again and watched eagerly. Draco raked his hand through his hair and sat down beside her, thinking up of a way to fix her.

Then the owl came back with a message.

Draco untied the message and read it carefully. Dumbledore said that this was just the fact that she had been killed by the Dark Lord that has changed her. He said that there is a solution but it had slipped his mind. He also said that he has notified the kids and that they are aware of her position. Draco threw away the note in disgust. How could Dumbledore not know? He needs to know everything! Draco headed upstairs back to the bedroom, leaving Hermione alone.

Weeks and months passed and everything Draco had tried, failed. Hermione was still the dark Hermione and he was about to give up. Even the kids and Tiffany had started trying to cheer her up, but it didn't work. The school year was about to end and Draco didn't feel like having 9 kids running around with no mum to help him.

Then one day Harry, Luna, Colin, and Ginny came to visit with the kids: Hermia and Thomas.

"Hey Draco! How's it been?" asked Ginny as she sat down beside him on the couch. Draco looked at her and that was enough. Ginny saw what she thought she would never see in a Malfoys eyes…

Remorse

But not the remorse he felt when Hermione died, the remorse you feel when you can't accomplish your hearts desire. That was what Draco felt like at that moment. Ginny patted him on the shoulder. That was all the comfort she could think of at that moment. Then Hermione came down from the bedroom.

"Drake, I need some more CDs so I'm going out to buy some. I'll-"she paused as she looked around the living room. "What y'all doing here?" she asked. Harry almost fainted along with Ginny. No way was this the Hermione they knew in Hogwarts. Hermia, Thomas, and the rest of the kids were too busy playing outside. Luna and Colin gasped. Tiffany just sat there.

"We're here to see you, Herms," replied Harry.

"Don't call me Herms! My name's Hermione! K?" she asked all attitudey. Ginny almost cried at the sad sight.

"Hermione please come back!" she cried as she got up to hug her best friend. Hermione just shoved her off.

"I don't need any tears on my new shirt. You go shed those on those tissues over there!" Hermione stated. Then she walked back upstairs, forgetting about her visit to the CD store. Draco just sat there. He was trying real hard not to cry, but tears were getting the better of him. He wiped a tear from his eyes and stood up.

"We best be going," stated Colin.

"Yea," replied Draco in a far-away tone. Ginny grabbed Hermia and Luna grabbed Thomas and they apparated away, leaving Draco.

He headed upstairs to find an empty bedroom He sat down on the bed and opened up the drawer. He took out a photo.

A figure stood outside the door, watching all of this.

He fingered the photo of a smiling Hermione in her Hogwarts robes. He traced her with his finger, letting the image linger in his mind. Then the flower caught his eye. It was a blue rose.

The figure outside gasped. But Draco didn't hear.

He got up and picked up the rose, twirling it between his thumb and forefinger, not minding the thorns that were poking his skin and causing him to bleed. Then he spoke.

"Just like a rose

You bloomed and I found you

You withered and came back

With thorns upon you

I've tried to pull them out

But they stuck to you

My only wish

Is to be able to reach you,

My long lost love"

He threw the flower out of the window and threw himself on the bed. He covered his face with his hands and then pulled his hands through his hair. He sighed and turned around, facing the window. The mysterious blue rose shone in the grass below.

The figure outside felt tears. She came up behind Draco.

"Hide and Seek's up. You found me!" Hermione cried as her image changed. Now she embraced Draco wearing her Hogwarts robes and grinning madly.

"My only love," he whispered into her ear.

The rose ascended into the air and landed near the photo.

All the thorns were gone.

"My only love" echoed the winds and Hermione.

My only love…
