Lucius looked at the Daily prophet hatefully, the picture of Arthur Weasley was beaming as her

shook hands with another important Irish ministry worker. The headline made his blood boil.

ARTHUR WEASLEY TIES ANOTHER ALLIANCE WITH IRISH GOVERNOR

Crumpling up the paper he threw it into the fire to have it hit Raven's hovering head in the

flames.

"Nice to see you too Mr Malfoy.." he said blinking.

"Im not in the mood for your bull shit Raven..did you meet the girl and how's the potion

coming.." Lucius snapped taking his feet off his desk.

"The potion only needs about a week longer, we've got the hair and I've met the girl. She

didn't say much but once Pansy drinks the polyjuice potion we'll have gotten her upset enough

that the break up will come swiftly.." he said quietly hoping no one heard him.

"Perfect.." he said smirking, the plan would be in place soon.

"Someone's coming.." Raven said quickly then his head disappeared with a small *pop* Lucius

smiled wickedly as suddenly the newspaper crackled and the picture of Arthur's face burst into

flames.

"Soon enough I'll have my revenge.."

~*Hogwarts*~ Hermione stayed quiet most of the time she was in the Hospital Wing, not to mention the week

she got out. She always felt sort of uncomfortable that someone would have cursed her like

that, so she did something she rarely did..she turned to her journal.

October 15th

Second week out of hospital wing

Again I'm constantly wondering why someone would want to curse me? What did I really

follow Pansy for? I did some research on the odd stunning curse before smacking Harry and

Ron for teasing me. I know they were joking but still they weren't cursed, I could have been

raped or tortured for all I know. That's the problem with the vulnerability when you get your

memory erased. Im glad not all of it has gone because I still remember my friends, what a big of

a idiot Snape is (I know its not like me to insult a teacher but for once I messed up my potion

and he blamed it on a 'lack of brain cells' or something like that) and how hot Oliver looks

when he's polishing his broom..*ahem* Well still I feel rather hollow, I have no clue what

happened but it must have been important..Dumbledore says he cant restore my memory

because if something goes wrong it could do serious damage and 'Hogwarts would loose one

of the most brilliant minds its ever seen' I probably would have blushed if I wasn't so worked

up over the fact there's a large time gap in my mind. Im hoping that if I ever get my mind altered

again that this journal will serve as a purpose to 'trigger' it back. I wish I'd kept up with this

because maybe now I'd know what happened in Hogsmeade. Did I find Voldermort about to

kill someone? Did I sneak up on some diabolical death eater getting it on with some Hogwarts

slut? Who knows? Hopefully it was the second one because then if I find out first of all I can

have a little fun with blackmail and I wont have to worry if Harry is about to get murdered or

not. So anyway this journal I will keep secret for the rest of my life so I will from now on have

something to turn to if my memory gets erased..

God I cant wait till this 'trigger' thing comes...is it just me or does trigger sound like a horse?

Hermione

Sighing Hermione leaned back into her pillows and closed her eyes and fell asleep into a dream

of snapshots of scenes that made no sense to her. These dreams continued for quite a while

right into the next month until Hermione was going crazy and had to get a sleeping potion from

Madame Pomfrey.

~Few weeks later~ Halloween was around the corner and Ginny was excited as hell, this year there was going to

be no classes, and a large Hogsmeade trip. The teachers had said something about a costume

party at a hall in Hogsmeade but none of the students had to many details yet. Ginny had picked

out her costume, she hadn't showed anyone because it wasn't really her. It was a nymph

costume she fell in love with at a shop in the town. It was a light blue colour that reached her

knees, she had white lace up sandles to go with it and white flowers to make a crown for her

head. She was so excited as was every other girl in the castle not to mention the guys.

Ginny was sitting by the lake wrapped in her cloak when she felt someone lean down and peck

her on the cheek. A smile spread across her face as she saw Draco twirling his wand casually

like he always did when he was thinking.

"What's on your mind.." she asked as he sat down beside her, the grass made a funny

crunching noise from the dull frost underneath the soil.

"Nothing much..Im just curious about some homework.." he shrugged.

"Usually you don't let homework bother you at all.." Ginny said wondering what he was really

thinking about.

"Lots of stuff honestly..mostly about what happened to Granger.."

"Well who hasn't, it gives me the shivers thinking that someone could be that ruthless to

Hermione.." she said actually shivering once then drawing her legs up to her chest. Draco

smirked still twirling his wand, it quickly vanished as he went back into thought.

"Yah I know but I'm wondering more about the why factor..I think I even know what curse he

used..its an odd stunning charm most Death eaters learn..."

"Death eaters..?" Ginny interrupted with wide eyes. The thought that a Death Eater had cursed

Hermione had never even occurred to her.

"Yah..my father tried to teach it to me once but I faked not being able to do it and he gave up,

it's a stunning charm but the person can get their memory erased and they cant fight it. They can

only erase a little bit of their memory so they don't use it all that much.."

"Wait Hermione said she found the stunning charm and it wasn't that big of a deal.." Ginny

added breaking into his thoughts.

"Not unless she could get into the Forbidden Section..I can see her using Potters cloak to do

that but still..it would be pretty hard to find unless you knew the name of it.."

~*Inside the Castle*~

Hermione sat on one of the railings to the stairs, one she knew wasn't going to move as it was

attached to the main landing reading a small book with "Triggers and How they Work" on the

cover. Ron was leaning against the same railing talking with Harry when a Ravenclaw boy about

their age started walking towards them.

"What do you suppose he wants?" Ron asked, he had an odd feeling that the boy was up to no

good.

"Dunno.." shrugged Harry as the boy came up to them.

"Hello Harry, Hermione..Ron." he said giving Ron an odd look over. Ron narrowed his eyes.

"How do you know who we are.." Ron asked crossing his arms.

"Everyone knows do they not?" the boy laughed his dark coloured hair was rather shiny and

Hermione was staring at it as though resisting the urge to pet it like she would her cat. Harry

picked up a slight Bulgarian accent in his voice.

"Harry I have a message for you from Dumbledore.." he handed Harry a slip of paper, while

Harry read through it he felt a sharp pain in his head like someone had pulled out a few strands

of his hair but figured he must have gotten a shiver or something.

"Oh alright come on guys we can go to the Great Hall and get some lunch after I talk to

McGonagall..." he said rubbing his head slightly.

"Sounds good.." Hermione said jumping down and almost losing her footing but the boy helped

her steady herself.

"Thanks..um bye..I don't think I know your name.." she said.

"Its Raven Talons.." he said smiling. Ron let out a snort of laughter.

"No offence mate..your parents must have thought you were going to be one hell of a ass to

name you that..that's down right cruel!" he laughed, Harry laughed too, Hermione shot them an

angry glare thanked and they headed off after saying Goodbye to Raven.

Raven rolled his eyes and his into an empty corridor, turning to face the empty hall he said

quietly.

"Did you get it?" he said to the air, a sound of a cloak being taken off came and Pansy stood

before him holding another small bottle with a few strands of dark black hairs in it with a smile.

"Oh yah.." she said hiding the invisibility cloak under her robes.

"Perfect.." he smiled wickedly and they both sneaked off to the dungeons unnoticed.
