Chapter Sixteen – You Left Me To Stay

The next morning, Hermione woke up late. Her eyes still red and blotchy from the crying she did last night. Classes ended a few days ago, in preparation for the Yule Ball. Hermione crept went to the Great Hall for breakfast. She spotted Harry, Ron and Cole waving for her attention. Hermione sniffled and wiped the tears from her eyes. She forced a smile when she went over to them.

            "Good morning, Hermione" they all greeted in unison

            "Hey, good morning to you too" she said, sitting down beside Lavender

            "You okay, 'Mione?" she asked

            "Yeah, I'm fine"

At the Slytherin Table, Pansy and Rose can be seen snickering madly. Pansy held on to Draco, grinning wide. Just then, Snape stood up went towards the Slytherin Table.

            "Ms. Parkinson and Mr. Malfoy come and follow me. You too Ms. Granger"

Hermione stood up from her seat and followed Snape. Pansy still held unto Draco's arm and gave Hermione a sly grin.

Snape took them inside a room. The first thing Hermione saw was Draco's father, Lucius. Hermione could feel Lucius staring at her and grinning evilly.

            "Father" Draco spoke

            "Draco…" Lucius answered

            "Good morning, Mr. Malfoy"

            "Good morning to you too Ms. Parkinson. You did a very good job placing my son in a…how shall I say this, 'ear' spell. Making him completely yours. Ms. Rose Conner must've placed a spell on her own teeth, making Draco all yours, after biting him." Lucius said, pointing his wand directly at Draco, muttering a spell

Silver and gold sparks came out of Lucius' wand and hit Draco, making him fall down to his knees, screaming in pain.

            "NOOO!!" Pansy screamed

The spell ended. Draco stood up, groaning. He saw Pansy crying and sniffling.

            "What the hell are you crying for?" he said, then he spotted Hermione, "Hermione!"

Just then, another girl was brought inside. She had blonde hair that fell on her shoulders and blue eyes. The three of them never saw her before. Guessing she wasn't from Hogwarts at all.

            "Ah yes, and here she comes" Lucius said

            "Good morning Mr. Malfoy" the girl said, in a sweet voice

            "To you too Ms. Wallace. Draco, meet Mariah Wallace, you fiancé"

            "MY WHAT!?" Draco yelled

            "Your fiancé Draco. Me and your mother arranged you a wedding after you finish your 6th year."

            "I AM NOT GOING TO MARRY HER!!" Draco yelled

            "Oh yes you are Draco. Ms. Wallace is from Beauxbatons and will be spending the few months left here."

            "I AM NOT!! I only love Hermione! And she's the one I'm going to marry!"

            "DON'T USE THAT TONE ON ME BOY! YOU WILL NEVER MARRY THAT STUPID FILTHY MUDBLOOD!"

Suddenly, Draco ran out of the room, grabbing the wrong girl. As if her feet were glued to the floor, Hermione just stood there.
