Chapter Four: Rule Three- Never become friends with the enemy! ~~~~`````
Hermione sat at the big round table in the head boy/girl common room. She had her lap top with her and was having a deep IM conversation with her best friend Doe.
Natural Disaster2543: Hey!! How's life with you? (This is Hermione by the way.)

Hermione laughed to herself and continued to talk with her friends. Draco walked in silently a few minutes later to see Hermione sitting in a black silky robe and black flannel pajama pants. One of the shoulders to the robe had fallen down her shoulder to show that she was wearing a dark blue tank top underneath. She sat with one leg bent underneath her and the other swinging slowly back and forth as it hung down from the chair. He walked over curious as to what she was typing on. **stupid muggle contraptions** he thought as he stood silently behind her reading over her shoulder.
Natural Disaster2543: so, Leana tell me. do u like comic books?
Lost1512: yea, I just luv comic books. read any good 1s lately?

Natural Disaster2543: OMG! this is going to be a very long year! when is he coming btw?
Life Oddesy101: 3 days. get ready 4 the worst 'mione.
Lost1512: good luck.
"Who are you talking to?" Draco asked after a few minutes of watching.
"Holy shit!" Hermione cried turning her body to face him. "Don't do that!" She yelled breathing heavily.
"Sorry, curiosity got the better of me. So who are you talking to?" Draco asked as if he was unfazed.
"Curiosity killed the cat you know. I'm talking to some friends from Scotland." Hermione explained with raised eyebrows. "I'll be right back. Talk if you want they know who you are." Hermione continued getting up and walking into her room.
Natural Disaster2543: Hello ladies!
Lost1512: ?.?
Life Oddesy101: ?? who is this?
Natural Disaster2543: y this it ur good friend Draco Malfoy of course!
Lost1512: oh no! **groans**
Life Oddesy101: wat did u do 2 'Mione!
Natural Disaster2543: I didn't so anything 2 her. she said I could talk and the she'd b right back.
Hermione came back to see that Draco was having a pleasant conversation with her friends. She walked next to him and placed a second lap top on the table.
"Here." She said turning the lap top on. "I come bearing gifts. I had an extra lap top; I don't need it any more so I thought you might like it since you're having such a good time talking with my friends and all." Hermione said going onto the internet. "I'm going to set up AIM for you. What IM name do you want?" Hermione asked after a few minutes of typing.
"Umm. I don't know surprise me." Draco told her turning back to her lap top screen and continuing his new conversation.
"Oh no, I'm not going to make it up. It's your special name, you make it up." Hermione said defiantly crossing her arms. Draco said 'brb' and leaned back in the chair deep in thought.
"Supreme Lord?" Draco said a little unsure. Hermione laughed and shook her head.
"Aren't you the egotistical one? Think deeper go inside your soul and look for a name." Hermione told him moving so that she was behind him. She placed her hands on his shoulders and began to misusage his shoulders. His body relaxed and he closed his eyes in thought.
"Wang Long (A/N: Chinese ask me for the correct tones.)" Draco said opening his eyes. Hermione looked confused so he continued. "It means king dragon in Chinese. My mother used to call me that." He explained. Hermione nodded and stepped back over to the other lap top. She started typing again.
"Alright, Wang Long, you're all set up sign on and I'll send you a chat link." Hermione said pulling Draco out of her chair. She sat down and started to type.
Natural Disaster2543: hey ppl I'm bak!! and this time it's really me Hermione.
Lost1512: does Draco have a name?
**Wang Long has entered chat**
Wang Long: hello ladies. did ya miss me?
Life Oddesy101: **rolling of eyes** ur 2 much Draco.
Lost1512: I second that!!
Natural Disaster2543: Doe can I ask u something?
Life Oddesy101: sure
Natural Disaster2543: y is Gryf so obsessed with me?
Wang Long: hahaha! u have some1 that is obsessed w/ u? that's a laugh!
Hermione leaned over and hit Draco in the arm playfully before going back to the conversation.
Life Oddesy101: idk. he's in luv w/ u or something.
The conversation continued for awhile before Leana and Doe had to go. Hermione logged off, turn off and closed her lap top.
"Have fun?" Hermione asked helping Draco turn off his new lap top.
"Yeah, I like your friends, I have a question. I don't have anyone else on my buddy list thing. Do I just talk to Leana and Doe all the time?" Draco asked as he picked up the lap top and they started to walk towards their rooms.
"No, that's why there are chat rooms. You can make friends with people in those." Hermione explained opening her door. "Night see you in the AM." Hermione said before entering her room and closing the door. Draco stood by her door for a moment thinking. He sighed and walked into his room and closed the door. He walked out a few minutes later with his boxers on and entered the bathroom. He stood there looking at himself in the mirror.
"What the bloody hell is wrong with me?" He asked himself his shoulders sagging. He rolled his neck remembering Hermione's touch on his shoulders and neck. It felt so good when she touched him that he wanted more. Draco groaned and brushed his teeth. He walked out of the bathroom and turned towards Hermione's room to let her know that she could use the bathroom if she needed to. The door was open, Draco looked in and Hermione was standing at the foot of her bed with her eyes closed. She was taking deep relaxing breaths as she stood there her eyes closed. She leaned back and placed her hands on the foot board behind her. Her back made and what looked to be a very painful arch as she leaned back even more and her feet lifted off the ground. She had her self balanced on her hands on the thin foot board. Her eyes were still closed so she didn't she Draco standing there dumb struck. She slowly lifted one hand from the foot board and was now balanced on one hand. The hand she was balancing on started to rise so that her palm wasn't touching the dark wood of the foot board. It continued to rise until all her body weight was resting on her finger tips. Her eyes were still closed and her brows were furrowed in concentration. Her arm bent as she lifted the hand off the foot board so that she was hovering above her bed. She stayed there for a few more seconds before she slowly lowered her left hand until it was perfectly balanced again before she placed her other hand down and lowered her body till her feet touched the floor again. She opened her eyes and smiled to herself at her accomplishment. Draco's jaw dropped. She just levitated and she balanced on her finger tips!! That was rather impossible to do even for a witch or wizard!
"Umm" Draco said making Hermione snap her head in his direction. "You can use the bathroom if you want now." Draco said after a few minutes of just staring at her. Hermione smiled and walked past him and into the bathroom.
*****************
Draco woke with a start the next morning to the sound of very excited teen age girls screaming.
"Bloody hell." He mumbled as he got out of bed and grabbed his robe. It was very early Thursday morning and for preparation of the Halloween Ball that was tomorrow night classes were canceled. Draco entered the common room to see four punk looking girls jumping up and down in excitement looking through and article in this months 'Witch Weekly'. A brown haired girl looked up and spotted Draco she grinned at him and ran towards him. He recognized her as Hermione when she came close enough for him slightly blurred vision to make out who she was.
"We made the front page!!" She cried flinging her arms around him neck in a tight hug. "We're a cover story! OH MY GOD!!" She cried again jumping up and down with her arms still fastened around his neck. Another girl with black hair that he recognized as a Slytherin removed Hermione's arms from around his neck.
"Calm down 'Mione. No need to kill him in your excitement!" She cried as they hugged jumping up and down.
"WE made the cover story! And we're number one for Europe's top 100 songs!" Another cried with brown hair that was streaked with blue and purple.
"Oh, Draco this is the band. I think you might know Faith, since she's from Slytherin. This is Chris-." Motioning to the girl with brown hair that was streaked with blue and purple-"She's also from Slytherin. And this is Kristin-." Motioning to a girl with very dark brown hair that was almost black and had pale skin-"She's from Ravenclaw. Now every one this is Draco Malfoy as you all might know." Hermione finished her little introductions and turned to the girl who was named Kristin.
"Are you sure that your dad was ok with us using some of the stuff from his castle?" she asked.
"Of course, he would do anything for me and my friends since now I have actually made friends." Kristin said with a slight Irish accent. "My father is the next in line for the throne in the Irish Wizard royal family." She explained to Draco.
"Oi 'Mione! Do you want to go tomorrow during the Hogsmead trip to get it done?" Chris asked with raised eyebrows.
"Yup! But what should it be? We still haven't decided on what it should be." Hermione said taking a seat next to Kristin and crossing her legs. The pant of her jimjams rode up to reveal a dark looking thing going around her ankle.
"Hermione, what's on your ankle?" Draco asked stepping towards her.
"OH! I guess I never told you that I had a tattoo of a scorpion on my ankle. I have a few of them." Hermione explained standing up again. She pulled down the sleeve of her left shoulder and showed him a tattoo of the name 'Evan' written in and old English style with a heart around it. She lifted the bottom of her shirt a little to show the black tattoo of a dragon on her lower back. Draco raised an eyebrow at her.
"My, my Hermione Granger, you certainly have changed." Draco stated after observing the tattoos on her body. "And what are you talking about doing?" Draco asked taking a seat across from Hermione and Kristin.
"We're planning on getting a tattoo of symbol that we have on the CD. You know that weird crossy thing with two serpents coiled up it, with the pentagram circling it." Chris explained tapping her tong ring against her teeth. Draco made an 'o' with his mouth motioning that he understood. Faith looked sad suddenly and looked at the floor as if she had never noticed it before.
"Something wrong Faith?" Kristen asked eyeing her suspiciously with the slightest trace of worry in her dull blue eyes.
"Nothing, it's nothing. Just nervous about the Ball tomorrow." Faith answered quietly. She seemed nervous like she wanted to say something but was holding back.
"We've done things like this before and to a lot more people. I know you're lying so out with it." Chris said everyone's eyes were on Faith. Kristen was attempting to pry into Faith's mind, since Kristen was telepathic, but was having no such luck she had her mind well guarded.
"I'm moving. After the Halloween ball, three days later actually." She said finally tears welling in her eyes.
"Oh my god." Hermione whispered. She stood and hugged Faith. Faith hugged her back as hot tears started to fall down her cheeks. One by one the other two girls came over and they had a group hug.
"Where are you moving too?" Chris asked as they started to pull away.
"Paris." Faith said with a small smile. "My boy friend lives there by the way." She continued with a small smile. The other three laughed softly at the small and feeble joke. Draco's presence completely forgotten.
"Well, Faith and I got to go; we have to finish some homework. We'll see you all tomorrow." Chris said as she turned and started to walk towards the door.
"Yeah, I have to go too, I told my boy friend I'd meet him in a few minutes." Kristen said getting up as well and walked to the door with the other two they all stopped and turned to face each other.
"fly free." The three by the door said.
"Die well." Hermione said "Till death part us." She continued with a sad tone in her voice.
"Till death part us." They answered and left. Hermione turned to look at Draco to see he was still there to her surprise.
"Came I read the article?" He asked with raised eyebrows. Hermione handed him the article with a smile on her face.
"Sure, enjoy." She said picking up a book on the coffee table and sitting down to read it. Draco sat across from her and began to read the article.
'Resurrected: Back from the Grave to Play Their Music
For about two years or some now this hot new teen rock group has scoured to the top of the charts all through England and most of Europe. 'It's like a dream come true I've always wanted to be in a group.' Says base player Kristen McHight. Their punk rock look and Hermione Grangers mysterious and beautiful voice make the band a match made in heaven or hell if you ask them what they think. So I know you're probably dieing ask them why is their music so depressing? It's really about their pasts. 'When we first started to write songs for Blood Red we all started to talk about our pasts. And we all agreed that my past was the best to write about so... we wrote about it.' Says lead singer, song writer, and guitarist Hermione Granger. Big surprise right? You'd never think that Hermione's past could be like that right? This reporter would agree with you if you said that you were confused.'
Draco read part of the article but his eyes wondered back to Hermione. She was looking at the ceiling deep in thought with her book open in her lap. He finished reading the article quickly before he got up and sat down next to her. The sides of their bodies touching at the closeness. Hermione leaned against him and sighed. Her body shook as she let a tear fall down her cheek. She knew that Faith might be moving but it was never for sure. Faith was like a sister to her ever since they were little. She helped Hermione through her times of need when she felt like she could just die. And vies versa in any situation throughout their lives.
"I'm sorry." Hermione whispered "I know it's uncomfortable for you when I cry. I've cried enough already." She said looking away from him.
"Hey what are friends for? If you need a shoulder to cry on or if you need help I'll help you." Draco told her rubbing her back in a comforting way. Hermione turned her head to face him and smiled a genuine smile of happiness at him. She hugged him tightly to her never wanting to let go. He hugged her back but he felt as if he was being watched by some one.
*****************
It was a bright Halloween day and Hermione, Chris, Faith, Kristen, and Draco were outside the tattoo parlor chatting about random things. Hermione entered first and was quickly followed by the band then Draco who came up in the rear.
"Ahh, welcome girls! Nice to see you all back again! And you've brought a friend! How are you all?" The store owner greeted with a smile.
"Hey Joe!" The girls called making their way over to Joe. "This is Draco Malfoy, a 'friend' of Hermione's and a fellow Slytherin." Chris said giving Joe a hug.
"Joe's our good friend and Chris' uncle. He was the one who first contacted the record company and sent in our demo." Hermione told Draco as she moved closer to Joe pulling him with her.
"So what can I do for you girls?" Joe asked
"We would like another tattoo, one of the band symbol. Herm you get the ink and needles and we'll draw him a picture." Kristen said smiling at him. Joe nodded and Hermione ran into the back room grabbing the colors that they agreed on. She rushed back in and placed every thing down carefully on the side table next to the cushioned chair where all the tattooing was done in. She pulled her wand out and mumbled a spell while pointing her wand at her left arm. Slowly swirls of color, dragons, serpents, and names started to appear on her arm.
"I got a sleeve when the band first started." Hermione explained to Draco who watched her with confused eyes. He nodded and Kristen sat down in the chair looking ready and waiting up at Joe who loaded the ink and started to work.
"So where do you want it?" He asked as he was getting ready.
"Here." She said pointing to the under part of her left wrist. He nodded and started to do the tattoo.
"You got any tattoo's you want to tell me about?" Hermione asked yawning as she lay on the floor in the library an hour after the band got the tattoo (they asked Draco but he declined). She rubbed her wrist and looked up at Draco, who decided to sit in a chair at the table. Draco didn't answer at first and seemed to be deep in thought.
"Uhh. yeah I do actually." He told her looking down at her reclined form on the floor. She yawned again and closed her eyes.
"Really, I thought you did because when you walked out into the common room a few days ago in your boxers I thought I saw something but I wasn't sure." She said opening one eye to look at him.
"You were watching me? Why?" Draco demanded raising an eyebrow at her.
"No, I wasn't watching you. I was leaving the bathroom and I saw you looking for something. And I must agree with the fifth year Ravenclaws you do have a nice ass." Hermione said grinning at him closing the eye that she opened. Draco laughed softly and turned back to his book attempting to finish some homework before the Ball.
"How can you be so tired when you're performing in about four hours?" Draco asked looking down at her again. He was again distracting himself by talking to Hermione.
"Because I didn't sleep well last night. I never do the night before a concert. So I make up my missed sleep by sleeping for a few hours in odd places." Hermione explained.
"Such as the Library floor." He concluded shaking his head.
"You think this spot is weird last time I had a concert I slept on Snape's desk while he was teaching a lesson." Hermione told him laughing. Madam Pince walked over looking annoyed at that moment.
" Miss Granger if you are tired then I suggest that you go to sleep in your room not the library floor!" She scolded.
"I would move Madam Pince, but it just so happens that my body isn't responding to what my brain is commanding. And Mr. Malfoy here is too busy to carry me to my room and no one else knows where the head girl and boy room is or what the password is and I don't want to start giving out what the password is until the year is ending." Hermione explained in a voice that said she cared but that she was also being very sarcastic about it. Draco smirked and restrained the urge to burst out laughing.
"Now if you don't mind I'm going back to sleep. Draco wake me in and hour or two; I need a lot of time to get ready for the Ball." Hermione told him, but before she went back to sleep she forced her body to move levitated her self and finally went to sleep on top of a book case.
************
Draco walked into the bathroom to see black horns sitting on the counter next to black, blue, red, purple, and green colored hair spry with a small round container that was labeled 'Bed Head: Hair Manipulator'. He woke Hermione as she asked by levitating him self up there and having to yell in her ear to get her awake since shaking didn't work. He picked up the horns and placed them on his head tying them in the back. He moved his hair around so that it looked as if he really had horns coming out of his head. He had to admit that they did look good on him and he examined his head in the mirror.
"Having fun?" a voice came from the door. Draco jumped and turned to see Hermione standing there. She wore a black sleeveless shirt with a black mesh shirt over it that was ripped in several places. The sleeveless shirt underneath was ripped to and showed some of her black bra. She wore black baggy Capri pants that had chains and pad locks on them. She then had fish nets and black boots to go with it. Her hair was put together in clumps with the hair manipulator to keep it like that.
"What? This is my look when I perform. And I need my horns." She said after a few minutes of letting him look her over. She moved to stand behind him and untied her horns from his head. She could help but laugh a little at the picture of him looking at himself in the mirror wearing her horns. She placed the horns on her head tied them then placed a spell on them so that they wouldn't fall off. She picked up the hair manipulator and threw it to Draco.
"Have fun. I'll see you in the mosh pit." Hermione said with a small smile as she left the room to meet the band.
*****************
Boy! Look at me!
Tell me what you see!
Do you see me standing there beside you?
I've waited so long just to make you mine
And I don't intend on letting go!
Just stay!
Don't leave me
I still need you!
Stay here!
I won't let you!
I need you! So, please stay,
I saw you boy,
Standing there, looking so sad,
Did you loose your love?
Before you even had her,
You were a fool I was right there for you!
Just stay!
Don't leave me!
I still need you!
Stay here!
Boy please don't go you don't know me
I still need you more then ever,
So please don't go.
The room burst into applause and cheers when Hermione and the band finished the last song before Hermione announced that they were going to take a break.
"You were great out there 'Mione!" Ron said smiling at her when she stepped off stage.
"Thanks Ron! I saw you did some crowed surfing. Very bold of you, I always thought it was Harry who would do the crowed surfing." Hermione said watching Ron's ears turn bright red when she said this. She couldn't help but laugh at him. He was acting embarrassed! There was nothing to be embarrassed because of it! Hermione did it all the time when she went to concerts and when she was actually in the concert with the band.
"It's ok Ron, at least you didn't get on stage and stage dive because I don't think anyone would have caught you." Hermione laughed. Her laugh seemed to be contagious because Harry and soon after Ron started to laugh with her. Hermione grabbed her water bottle and took a long drink from it.
"We really enjoyed your singing Hermione. We'll see you later." Harry said giving her a hug. Ron followed suit and hugged her as well before returning to the crowd that was dancing to the music that was put up for the bands break.
"You really sang with a lot on meaning this time Herm." Kristen said sneaking up behind her smiling slyly. "Singing for anyone in particular?" she asked grinning devilishly.
"No, I just really got into it." Hermione lied. She was really singing for Draco but she wouldn't let anyone else know that. Except for maybe Draco but after him no one else would know that deep down she was singing for him because she had feelings for him that kept growing and growing.
"Speak of the devil." Kristen whispered eyeing Draco making his way towards them. "I'll be over here then. Have fun you two." She said grinning and giggling a bit while she walked off to the crowd to get some dancing in before they went back on stage.
"Hey 'Mione. You sounded really great out there. Better in person if you ask me." Draco told her smiling slightly. 'Wait, Malfoy's don't complement people or smile! What's wrong with me?' Draco thought. He soon shook those thoughts away when he saw Hermione smile at his complement.
"Thanks, I was sort of singing it for you." She said looking at her feet in embarrassment. Draco gave her a crooked smile. No one's ever done that for a Malfoy before. Draco could sense something from her, he just couldn't place it. Hermione turned slightly so that she could see what was happening with the other band members. She turned back to Draco and smiled.
"We're going back on so I'll see you in the mosh pit. Oh, and one more thing, catch me when I jump." Hermione told him. And with that she turned and walked back to the band picking up her guitar on the way over before making her way back onto the stage. The crowd went wild when they saw the lights dim then come on again. Faith winked at Hermione and she winked back and they began to play again.
This world, this world is cold
But you don't, you don't have to go,
You're feeling sad you're feeling lonely,
And no one seems to care,
You're mothers gone and your father hits you, this pain you can not bare,
But we all bleed the same way as you do,
And we all have the same things to go through,
Hold on!...if you feel like letting go,
Hold on!...it gets better then you know,
Your days you say they're way to long,
And your nights you can't sleep at all,
"C'mon Draco dance with me!" Pansy cried pulling him close to her tearing his gaze away from Hermione. 'how does she know all these things!' him mind cried.
"Go away Pansy I'm not going to dance with you." Draco told her getting lost in the crowd that was jumping and head banging to the music closer to the stage.
And you're not sure what you're looking for,
But you don't want to no more,
And you're not sure what you're waiting for,
But you don't want to no more,
But we all bleed the same way as you do,
And we all have to same things to go through,
Hold on!...if you feel like letting go,
Hold on!...it gets better then you know,
Don't stop looking you're one step closer,
Don't stop searching it's not over!...Hold on,
What are you looking for?
What are you waiting for?
Do you know what you're doing to me!
Go ahead!...what are you looking for?
Hold on!...if you feel like letting go,
Hold on!...it gets better then you know!
Don't stop looking you're one step closer,
Don't stop searching it's not over!...hold on
Hermione played the last note and gave a devilish grin at the crowd and tilted her head to the side.
"You like that?" She asked innocently. Faith and Kristen smirked while Chris stood and stretched. They all grouped together by Faiths microphone and could sense the curiosity radiating off the crowd.
"We have sad news our faithful band lovers!" Hermione announced her eyes darting towards Faith. "Our own Faith Liens of our Resurrected family is moving." She continued and upon hearing the gasps of people in the crowd she smiled sadly.
"Upon her leaving there will be an opening in the band since you have to be in this school in order to be part of the band." Chris continued Hermione's announcement.
"There will be band tryouts, loyalists to our band, and if you whish to take her place learn electric guitar and learn how to play one of our songs or a song the you have made for us next Friday." Kristen continued.
"The auditions will be held in the Head girl and boy's dorm. Simply line up outside the portrait and they will call you in one by one. Sign up sheets will be placed on your common room bulletin boards. That's all." Faith finished and the band went back to their positions. Hermione started to play and was soon followed by the others.
Catch me as I fall,
Say you're here and it's all over now,
Speaking to the atmosphere,
No one's here and I fall into my self,
This truth drives me,
Into madness!
I can stop the pain if I will it all away,
If I will it all away,
Don't turn away,
Don't give into pain,
Don't try to hide,
Though they're screaming your name,
Don't close your eyes,
God knows what lies behind,
Don't turn off the light,
Never sleep never die,
I'm frightened by what I see,
But somehow I know that there's much more to come,
Immobilized by my fears,
And soon to be blinded by tears,
At this point Hermione moved back, ran and jumped into the air. She was caught of course by the crowd and they started to move her around the room.
I can stop the pain if I will it all away,
If I will it all away!
Don't turn away,
Don't give into the pain,
Don't try to hide,
Though they're screaming your name,
Don't close your eyes,
God knows what lies behind,
Don't turn out the light,
Never sleep never die,
Fallen angels at my feet,
Whispering voices at my ear,
Death before my eyes,
Lying next to me I fear,
She beckons me shall I give in?
Upon my end shall I begin?
Forsaken all I've fallen for I rise to meet my end.
Faith makes a stage dive going into the guitar solo. Hermione passes over Draco and ruffles his hair so that the gel moves it into a Mohawk.
Don't turn away yeaah!
Don't give into the pain,
Don't try hide!
Though they're screaming your name,
Don't close your eeeyyyyeees!
God knows what lies behind,
Don't turn out the light!
Never sleep never die,
Don't turn away yeaah!
Don't give into the pain,
Don't try to hide!
Though they're screaming your name,
Don't close your eeeyyyyeees!
God knows what lies behind,
Don't turn out the light!
Hermione and faith started to chant in Latin as they were passed back to the stage. They played the last note and the crowd went wild. They were playing new songs that no one had heard before, so this was a very special performance. They announced that the next song was the last and began to play.
HERMIONE:
I see you standing there,
Engulfed by winters glare,
Watching me,
Watching you,
Falling into nothing,
I want you so please don't go,

Hermione sat at the big round table in the head boy/girl common room. She had her lap top with her and was having a deep IM conversation with her best friend Doe.

Hermione laughed to herself and continued to talk with her friends. Draco walked in silently a few minutes later to see Hermione sitting in a black silky robe and black flannel pajama pants. One of the shoulders to the robe had fallen down her shoulder to show that she was wearing a dark blue tank top underneath. She sat with one leg bent underneath her and the other swinging slowly back and forth as it hung down from the chair. He walked over curious as to what she was typing on. **stupid muggle contraptions** he thought as he stood silently behind her reading over her shoulder.
Natural Disaster2543: so, Leana tell me. do u like comic books?
Lost1512: yea, I just luv comic books. read any good 1s lately?

Life Oddesy101: 3 days. get ready 4 the worst 'mione.
Lost1512: good luck.
"Who are you talking to?" Draco asked after a few minutes of watching.
"Holy shit!" Hermione cried turning her body to face him. "Don't do that!" She yelled breathing heavily.
"Sorry, curiosity got the better of me. So who are you talking to?" Draco asked as if he was unfazed.
"Curiosity killed the cat you know. I'm talking to some friends from Scotland." Hermione explained with raised eyebrows. "I'll be right back. Talk if you want they know who you are." Hermione continued getting up and walking into her room.
Natural Disaster2543: Hello ladies!
Lost1512: ?.?
Life Oddesy101: ?? who is this?
Natural Disaster2543: y this it ur good friend Draco Malfoy of course!
Lost1512: oh no! **groans**
Life Oddesy101: wat did u do 2 'Mione!
Natural Disaster2543: I didn't so anything 2 her. she said I could talk and the she'd b right back.
Hermione came back to see that Draco was having a pleasant conversation with her friends. She walked next to him and placed a second lap top on the table.
"Here." She said turning the lap top on. "I come bearing gifts. I had an extra lap top; I don't need it any more so I thought you might like it since you're having such a good time talking with my friends and all." Hermione said going onto the internet. "I'm going to set up AIM for you. What IM name do you want?" Hermione asked after a few minutes of typing.
"Umm. I don't know surprise me." Draco told her turning back to her lap top screen and continuing his new conversation.
"Oh no, I'm not going to make it up. It's your special name, you make it up." Hermione said defiantly crossing her arms. Draco said 'brb' and leaned back in the chair deep in thought.
"Supreme Lord?" Draco said a little unsure. Hermione laughed and shook her head.
"Aren't you the egotistical one? Think deeper go inside your soul and look for a name." Hermione told him moving so that she was behind him. She placed her hands on his shoulders and began to misusage his shoulders. His body relaxed and he closed his eyes in thought.
"Wang Long (A/N: Chinese ask me for the correct tones.)" Draco said opening his eyes. Hermione looked confused so he continued. "It means king dragon in Chinese. My mother used to call me that." He explained. Hermione nodded and stepped back over to the other lap top. She started typing again.
"Alright, Wang Long, you're all set up sign on and I'll send you a chat link." Hermione said pulling Draco out of her chair. She sat down and started to type.
Natural Disaster2543: hey ppl I'm bak!! and this time it's really me Hermione.
Lost1512: does Draco have a name?
**Wang Long has entered chat**
Wang Long: hello ladies. did ya miss me?
Life Oddesy101: **rolling of eyes** ur 2 much Draco.
Lost1512: I second that!!
Natural Disaster2543: Doe can I ask u something?
Life Oddesy101: sure
Natural Disaster2543: y is Gryf so obsessed with me?
Wang Long: hahaha! u have some1 that is obsessed w/ u? that's a laugh!
Hermione leaned over and hit Draco in the arm playfully before going back to the conversation.
Life Oddesy101: idk. he's in luv w/ u or something.
The conversation continued for awhile before Leana and Doe had to go. Hermione logged off, turn off and closed her lap top.
"Have fun?" Hermione asked helping Draco turn off his new lap top.
"Yeah, I like your friends, I have a question. I don't have anyone else on my buddy list thing. Do I just talk to Leana and Doe all the time?" Draco asked as he picked up the lap top and they started to walk towards their rooms.
"No, that's why there are chat rooms. You can make friends with people in those." Hermione explained opening her door. "Night see you in the AM." Hermione said before entering her room and closing the door. Draco stood by her door for a moment thinking. He sighed and walked into his room and closed the door. He walked out a few minutes later with his boxers on and entered the bathroom. He stood there looking at himself in the mirror.
"What the bloody hell is wrong with me?" He asked himself his shoulders sagging. He rolled his neck remembering Hermione's touch on his shoulders and neck. It felt so good when she touched him that he wanted more. Draco groaned and brushed his teeth. He walked out of the bathroom and turned towards Hermione's room to let her know that she could use the bathroom if she needed to. The door was open, Draco looked in and Hermione was standing at the foot of her bed with her eyes closed. She was taking deep relaxing breaths as she stood there her eyes closed. She leaned back and placed her hands on the foot board behind her. Her back made and what looked to be a very painful arch as she leaned back even more and her feet lifted off the ground. She had her self balanced on her hands on the thin foot board. Her eyes were still closed so she didn't she Draco standing there dumb struck. She slowly lifted one hand from the foot board and was now balanced on one hand. The hand she was balancing on started to rise so that her palm wasn't touching the dark wood of the foot board. It continued to rise until all her body weight was resting on her finger tips. Her eyes were still closed and her brows were furrowed in concentration. Her arm bent as she lifted the hand off the foot board so that she was hovering above her bed. She stayed there for a few more seconds before she slowly lowered her left hand until it was perfectly balanced again before she placed her other hand down and lowered her body till her feet touched the floor again. She opened her eyes and smiled to herself at her accomplishment. Draco's jaw dropped. She just levitated and she balanced on her finger tips!! That was rather impossible to do even for a witch or wizard!
"Umm" Draco said making Hermione snap her head in his direction. "You can use the bathroom if you want now." Draco said after a few minutes of just staring at her. Hermione smiled and walked past him and into the bathroom.
*****************
Draco woke with a start the next morning to the sound of very excited teen age girls screaming.
"Bloody hell." He mumbled as he got out of bed and grabbed his robe. It was very early Thursday morning and for preparation of the Halloween Ball that was tomorrow night classes were canceled. Draco entered the common room to see four punk looking girls jumping up and down in excitement looking through and article in this months 'Witch Weekly'. A brown haired girl looked up and spotted Draco she grinned at him and ran towards him. He recognized her as Hermione when she came close enough for him slightly blurred vision to make out who she was.
"We made the front page!!" She cried flinging her arms around him neck in a tight hug. "We're a cover story! OH MY GOD!!" She cried again jumping up and down with her arms still fastened around his neck. Another girl with black hair that he recognized as a Slytherin removed Hermione's arms from around his neck.
"Calm down 'Mione. No need to kill him in your excitement!" She cried as they hugged jumping up and down.
"WE made the cover story! And we're number one for Europe's top 100 songs!" Another cried with brown hair that was streaked with blue and purple.
"Oh, Draco this is the band. I think you might know Faith, since she's from Slytherin. This is Chris-." Motioning to the girl with brown hair that was streaked with blue and purple-"She's also from Slytherin. And this is Kristin-." Motioning to a girl with very dark brown hair that was almost black and had pale skin-"She's from Ravenclaw. Now every one this is Draco Malfoy as you all might know." Hermione finished her little introductions and turned to the girl who was named Kristin.
"Are you sure that your dad was ok with us using some of the stuff from his castle?" she asked.
"Of course, he would do anything for me and my friends since now I have actually made friends." Kristin said with a slight Irish accent. "My father is the next in line for the throne in the Irish Wizard royal family." She explained to Draco.
"Oi 'Mione! Do you want to go tomorrow during the Hogsmead trip to get it done?" Chris asked with raised eyebrows.
"Yup! But what should it be? We still haven't decided on what it should be." Hermione said taking a seat next to Kristin and crossing her legs. The pant of her jimjams rode up to reveal a dark looking thing going around her ankle.
"Hermione, what's on your ankle?" Draco asked stepping towards her.
"OH! I guess I never told you that I had a tattoo of a scorpion on my ankle. I have a few of them." Hermione explained standing up again. She pulled down the sleeve of her left shoulder and showed him a tattoo of the name 'Evan' written in and old English style with a heart around it. She lifted the bottom of her shirt a little to show the black tattoo of a dragon on her lower back. Draco raised an eyebrow at her.
"My, my Hermione Granger, you certainly have changed." Draco stated after observing the tattoos on her body. "And what are you talking about doing?" Draco asked taking a seat across from Hermione and Kristin.
"We're planning on getting a tattoo of symbol that we have on the CD. You know that weird crossy thing with two serpents coiled up it, with the pentagram circling it." Chris explained tapping her tong ring against her teeth. Draco made an 'o' with his mouth motioning that he understood. Faith looked sad suddenly and looked at the floor as if she had never noticed it before.
"Something wrong Faith?" Kristen asked eyeing her suspiciously with the slightest trace of worry in her dull blue eyes.
"Nothing, it's nothing. Just nervous about the Ball tomorrow." Faith answered quietly. She seemed nervous like she wanted to say something but was holding back.
"We've done things like this before and to a lot more people. I know you're lying so out with it." Chris said everyone's eyes were on Faith. Kristen was attempting to pry into Faith's mind, since Kristen was telepathic, but was having no such luck she had her mind well guarded.
"I'm moving. After the Halloween ball, three days later actually." She said finally tears welling in her eyes.
"Oh my god." Hermione whispered. She stood and hugged Faith. Faith hugged her back as hot tears started to fall down her cheeks. One by one the other two girls came over and they had a group hug.
"Where are you moving too?" Chris asked as they started to pull away.
"Paris." Faith said with a small smile. "My boy friend lives there by the way." She continued with a small smile. The other three laughed softly at the small and feeble joke. Draco's presence completely forgotten.
"Well, Faith and I got to go; we have to finish some homework. We'll see you all tomorrow." Chris said as she turned and started to walk towards the door.
"Yeah, I have to go too, I told my boy friend I'd meet him in a few minutes." Kristen said getting up as well and walked to the door with the other two they all stopped and turned to face each other.
"fly free." The three by the door said.
"Die well." Hermione said "Till death part us." She continued with a sad tone in her voice.
"Till death part us." They answered and left. Hermione turned to look at Draco to see he was still there to her surprise.
"Came I read the article?" He asked with raised eyebrows. Hermione handed him the article with a smile on her face.
"Sure, enjoy." She said picking up a book on the coffee table and sitting down to read it. Draco sat across from her and began to read the article.
'Resurrected: Back from the Grave to Play Their Music
For about two years or some now this hot new teen rock group has scoured to the top of the charts all through England and most of Europe. 'It's like a dream come true I've always wanted to be in a group.' Says base player Kristen McHight. Their punk rock look and Hermione Grangers mysterious and beautiful voice make the band a match made in heaven or hell if you ask them what they think. So I know you're probably dieing ask them why is their music so depressing? It's really about their pasts. 'When we first started to write songs for Blood Red we all started to talk about our pasts. And we all agreed that my past was the best to write about so... we wrote about it.' Says lead singer, song writer, and guitarist Hermione Granger. Big surprise right? You'd never think that Hermione's past could be like that right? This reporter would agree with you if you said that you were confused.'
Draco read part of the article but his eyes wondered back to Hermione. She was looking at the ceiling deep in thought with her book open in her lap. He finished reading the article quickly before he got up and sat down next to her. The sides of their bodies touching at the closeness. Hermione leaned against him and sighed. Her body shook as she let a tear fall down her cheek. She knew that Faith might be moving but it was never for sure. Faith was like a sister to her ever since they were little. She helped Hermione through her times of need when she felt like she could just die. And vies versa in any situation throughout their lives.
"I'm sorry." Hermione whispered "I know it's uncomfortable for you when I cry. I've cried enough already." She said looking away from him.
"Hey what are friends for? If you need a shoulder to cry on or if you need help I'll help you." Draco told her rubbing her back in a comforting way. Hermione turned her head to face him and smiled a genuine smile of happiness at him. She hugged him tightly to her never wanting to let go. He hugged her back but he felt as if he was being watched by some one.
*****************
It was a bright Halloween day and Hermione, Chris, Faith, Kristen, and Draco were outside the tattoo parlor chatting about random things. Hermione entered first and was quickly followed by the band then Draco who came up in the rear.
"Ahh, welcome girls! Nice to see you all back again! And you've brought a friend! How are you all?" The store owner greeted with a smile.
"Hey Joe!" The girls called making their way over to Joe. "This is Draco Malfoy, a 'friend' of Hermione's and a fellow Slytherin." Chris said giving Joe a hug.
"Joe's our good friend and Chris' uncle. He was the one who first contacted the record company and sent in our demo." Hermione told Draco as she moved closer to Joe pulling him with her.
"So what can I do for you girls?" Joe asked
"We would like another tattoo, one of the band symbol. Herm you get the ink and needles and we'll draw him a picture." Kristen said smiling at him. Joe nodded and Hermione ran into the back room grabbing the colors that they agreed on. She rushed back in and placed every thing down carefully on the side table next to the cushioned chair where all the tattooing was done in. She pulled her wand out and mumbled a spell while pointing her wand at her left arm. Slowly swirls of color, dragons, serpents, and names started to appear on her arm.
"I got a sleeve when the band first started." Hermione explained to Draco who watched her with confused eyes. He nodded and Kristen sat down in the chair looking ready and waiting up at Joe who loaded the ink and started to work.
"So where do you want it?" He asked as he was getting ready.
"Here." She said pointing to the under part of her left wrist. He nodded and started to do the tattoo.
"You got any tattoo's you want to tell me about?" Hermione asked yawning as she lay on the floor in the library an hour after the band got the tattoo (they asked Draco but he declined). She rubbed her wrist and looked up at Draco, who decided to sit in a chair at the table. Draco didn't answer at first and seemed to be deep in thought.
"Uhh. yeah I do actually." He told her looking down at her reclined form on the floor. She yawned again and closed her eyes.
"Really, I thought you did because when you walked out into the common room a few days ago in your boxers I thought I saw something but I wasn't sure." She said opening one eye to look at him.
"You were watching me? Why?" Draco demanded raising an eyebrow at her.
"No, I wasn't watching you. I was leaving the bathroom and I saw you looking for something. And I must agree with the fifth year Ravenclaws you do have a nice ass." Hermione said grinning at him closing the eye that she opened. Draco laughed softly and turned back to his book attempting to finish some homework before the Ball.
"How can you be so tired when you're performing in about four hours?" Draco asked looking down at her again. He was again distracting himself by talking to Hermione.
"Because I didn't sleep well last night. I never do the night before a concert. So I make up my missed sleep by sleeping for a few hours in odd places." Hermione explained.
"Such as the Library floor." He concluded shaking his head.
"You think this spot is weird last time I had a concert I slept on Snape's desk while he was teaching a lesson." Hermione told him laughing. Madam Pince walked over looking annoyed at that moment.
" Miss Granger if you are tired then I suggest that you go to sleep in your room not the library floor!" She scolded.
"I would move Madam Pince, but it just so happens that my body isn't responding to what my brain is commanding. And Mr. Malfoy here is too busy to carry me to my room and no one else knows where the head girl and boy room is or what the password is and I don't want to start giving out what the password is until the year is ending." Hermione explained in a voice that said she cared but that she was also being very sarcastic about it. Draco smirked and restrained the urge to burst out laughing.
"Now if you don't mind I'm going back to sleep. Draco wake me in and hour or two; I need a lot of time to get ready for the Ball." Hermione told him, but before she went back to sleep she forced her body to move levitated her self and finally went to sleep on top of a book case.
************
Draco walked into the bathroom to see black horns sitting on the counter next to black, blue, red, purple, and green colored hair spry with a small round container that was labeled 'Bed Head: Hair Manipulator'. He woke Hermione as she asked by levitating him self up there and having to yell in her ear to get her awake since shaking didn't work. He picked up the horns and placed them on his head tying them in the back. He moved his hair around so that it looked as if he really had horns coming out of his head. He had to admit that they did look good on him and he examined his head in the mirror.
"Having fun?" a voice came from the door. Draco jumped and turned to see Hermione standing there. She wore a black sleeveless shirt with a black mesh shirt over it that was ripped in several places. The sleeveless shirt underneath was ripped to and showed some of her black bra. She wore black baggy Capri pants that had chains and pad locks on them. She then had fish nets and black boots to go with it. Her hair was put together in clumps with the hair manipulator to keep it like that.
"What? This is my look when I perform. And I need my horns." She said after a few minutes of letting him look her over. She moved to stand behind him and untied her horns from his head. She could help but laugh a little at the picture of him looking at himself in the mirror wearing her horns. She placed the horns on her head tied them then placed a spell on them so that they wouldn't fall off. She picked up the hair manipulator and threw it to Draco.
"Have fun. I'll see you in the mosh pit." Hermione said with a small smile as she left the room to meet the band.
*****************
Boy! Look at me!
Tell me what you see!
Do you see me standing there beside you?
I've waited so long just to make you mine
And I don't intend on letting go!
Just stay!
Don't leave me
I still need you!
Stay here!
I won't let you!
I need you! So, please stay,
I saw you boy,
Standing there, looking so sad,
Did you loose your love?
Before you even had her,
You were a fool I was right there for you!
Just stay!
Don't leave me!
I still need you!
Stay here!
Boy please don't go you don't know me
I still need you more then ever,
So please don't go.
The room burst into applause and cheers when Hermione and the band finished the last song before Hermione announced that they were going to take a break.
"You were great out there 'Mione!" Ron said smiling at her when she stepped off stage.
"Thanks Ron! I saw you did some crowed surfing. Very bold of you, I always thought it was Harry who would do the crowed surfing." Hermione said watching Ron's ears turn bright red when she said this. She couldn't help but laugh at him. He was acting embarrassed! There was nothing to be embarrassed because of it! Hermione did it all the time when she went to concerts and when she was actually in the concert with the band.
"It's ok Ron, at least you didn't get on stage and stage dive because I don't think anyone would have caught you." Hermione laughed. Her laugh seemed to be contagious because Harry and soon after Ron started to laugh with her. Hermione grabbed her water bottle and took a long drink from it.
"We really enjoyed your singing Hermione. We'll see you later." Harry said giving her a hug. Ron followed suit and hugged her as well before returning to the crowd that was dancing to the music that was put up for the bands break.
"You really sang with a lot on meaning this time Herm." Kristen said sneaking up behind her smiling slyly. "Singing for anyone in particular?" she asked grinning devilishly.
"No, I just really got into it." Hermione lied. She was really singing for Draco but she wouldn't let anyone else know that. Except for maybe Draco but after him no one else would know that deep down she was singing for him because she had feelings for him that kept growing and growing.
"Speak of the devil." Kristen whispered eyeing Draco making his way towards them. "I'll be over here then. Have fun you two." She said grinning and giggling a bit while she walked off to the crowd to get some dancing in before they went back on stage.
"Hey 'Mione. You sounded really great out there. Better in person if you ask me." Draco told her smiling slightly. 'Wait, Malfoy's don't complement people or smile! What's wrong with me?' Draco thought. He soon shook those thoughts away when he saw Hermione smile at his complement.
"Thanks, I was sort of singing it for you." She said looking at her feet in embarrassment. Draco gave her a crooked smile. No one's ever done that for a Malfoy before. Draco could sense something from her, he just couldn't place it. Hermione turned slightly so that she could see what was happening with the other band members. She turned back to Draco and smiled.
"We're going back on so I'll see you in the mosh pit. Oh, and one more thing, catch me when I jump." Hermione told him. And with that she turned and walked back to the band picking up her guitar on the way over before making her way back onto the stage. The crowd went wild when they saw the lights dim then come on again. Faith winked at Hermione and she winked back and they began to play again.
This world, this world is cold
But you don't, you don't have to go,
You're feeling sad you're feeling lonely,
And no one seems to care,
You're mothers gone and your father hits you, this pain you can not bare,
But we all bleed the same way as you do,
And we all have the same things to go through,
Hold on!...if you feel like letting go,
Hold on!...it gets better then you know,
Your days you say they're way to long,
And your nights you can't sleep at all,
"C'mon Draco dance with me!" Pansy cried pulling him close to her tearing his gaze away from Hermione. 'how does she know all these things!' him mind cried.
"Go away Pansy I'm not going to dance with you." Draco told her getting lost in the crowd that was jumping and head banging to the music closer to the stage.
And you're not sure what you're looking for,
But you don't want to no more,
And you're not sure what you're waiting for,
But you don't want to no more,
But we all bleed the same way as you do,
And we all have to same things to go through,
Hold on!...if you feel like letting go,
Hold on!...it gets better then you know,
Don't stop looking you're one step closer,
Don't stop searching it's not over!...Hold on,
What are you looking for?
What are you waiting for?
Do you know what you're doing to me!
Go ahead!...what are you looking for?
Hold on!...if you feel like letting go,
Hold on!...it gets better then you know!
Don't stop looking you're one step closer,
Don't stop searching it's not over!...hold on
Hermione played the last note and gave a devilish grin at the crowd and tilted her head to the side.
"You like that?" She asked innocently. Faith and Kristen smirked while Chris stood and stretched. They all grouped together by Faiths microphone and could sense the curiosity radiating off the crowd.
"We have sad news our faithful band lovers!" Hermione announced her eyes darting towards Faith. "Our own Faith Liens of our Resurrected family is moving." She continued and upon hearing the gasps of people in the crowd she smiled sadly.
"Upon her leaving there will be an opening in the band since you have to be in this school in order to be part of the band." Chris continued Hermione's announcement.
"There will be band tryouts, loyalists to our band, and if you whish to take her place learn electric guitar and learn how to play one of our songs or a song the you have made for us next Friday." Kristen continued.
"The auditions will be held in the Head girl and boy's dorm. Simply line up outside the portrait and they will call you in one by one. Sign up sheets will be placed on your common room bulletin boards. That's all." Faith finished and the band went back to their positions. Hermione started to play and was soon followed by the others.
Catch me as I fall,
Say you're here and it's all over now,
Speaking to the atmosphere,
No one's here and I fall into my self,
This truth drives me,
Into madness!
I can stop the pain if I will it all away,
If I will it all away,
Don't turn away,
Don't give into pain,
Don't try to hide,
Though they're screaming your name,
Don't close your eyes,
God knows what lies behind,
Don't turn off the light,
Never sleep never die,
I'm frightened by what I see,
But somehow I know that there's much more to come,
Immobilized by my fears,
And soon to be blinded by tears,
At this point Hermione moved back, ran and jumped into the air. She was caught of course by the crowd and they started to move her around the room.
I can stop the pain if I will it all away,
If I will it all away!
Don't turn away,
Don't give into the pain,
Don't try to hide,
Though they're screaming your name,
Don't close your eyes,
God knows what lies behind,
Don't turn out the light,
Never sleep never die,
Fallen angels at my feet,
Whispering voices at my ear,
Death before my eyes,
Lying next to me I fear,
She beckons me shall I give in?
Upon my end shall I begin?
Forsaken all I've fallen for I rise to meet my end.
Faith makes a stage dive going into the guitar solo. Hermione passes over Draco and ruffles his hair so that the gel moves it into a Mohawk.
Don't turn away yeaah!
Don't give into the pain,
Don't try hide!
Though they're screaming your name,
Don't close your eeeyyyyeees!
God knows what lies behind,
Don't turn out the light!
Never sleep never die,
Don't turn away yeaah!
Don't give into the pain,
Don't try to hide!
Though they're screaming your name,
Don't close your eeeyyyyeees!
God knows what lies behind,
Don't turn out the light!
Hermione and faith started to chant in Latin as they were passed back to the stage. They played the last note and the crowd went wild. They were playing new songs that no one had heard before, so this was a very special performance. They announced that the next song was the last and began to play.
HERMIONE:
I see you standing there,
Engulfed by winters glare,
Watching me,
Watching you,
Falling into nothing,
I want you so please don't go,
FAITH & HERMIONE:
Closer come to me,
Closer,
Casting my Wicca spell,
Don't speak just breath,
I need you to bring me back,
FAITH:
Seeing you,
Seeing me,
Wanting you,
Wanting me,
Waiting for you to come to me,
Casting a spell on you,
BOTH:
Closer come to me,
Closer!
Casting my Wicca spell,
Don't speak just breath,
I need you to bring me back!
HERMIONE:
Casting my Wicca!
FAITH:
Come to me under my spell,
BOTH:
Don't speak just breath,
Bring me back,
Don't speak just breath!
