Hey Kefer here. I'm going to maybe slow down because some of the later chapters are a bit longer but I'm just not going to hurry. (This fic is already planned out for over 17 chapters) I promise that I will finish this. This won't be like my other fics. This will end with Hermione returning to her world, but has a good ending.
________________________________________________________________________
Hermione's chestnut hair blew in the wind as her and Draco walked through the now torch lit corridors of Hogwarts.
"Miss Grainger, a word?" Minerva McGonagall asked as she walked out of Professor Flitwick's office, "You too Mr. Malfoy!"
The trio walked down the corridors of Hogwarts. The portraits look at Hermione as if she was some strange being. They didn't look at her like a student at Hogwarts. Maybe it was the way she used 6th year Hermione magic, or maybe it was the way she acted. Whatever it was, they knew she wasn't from this world.
"Existimatiolevi" McGonagall said as the stairs to her office opened and the trio went up the stairs.
Hermione and Draco walked into the office and sat in the chairs across from McGonagall. For nearly 5 minutes, it was silent. Not even the wind made a noise outside of the room. When Hermione was about to begin, McGonagall started speaking.
"I have asked you hear to speak about Lord Voldemort. He seems to have escaped from Azkaban. If he was even there in the first place. What are you going to do about it?"
Draco sat up straight staring at a piece of paper on McGonagall's desk. McGonagall noticed that Draco was looking at the letter, "Pay attention Mr. Malfoy," McGonagall hid the note under some other papers.
"But why ask me Professor?" Hermione asked.
"I saw the advance magic you used on Mr. Malfoy earlier. It could come in handy during the final battle. But I was asked by Vold… Fudge to des… test your magic. I have a little duel area made for us. Just around this way."
Minerva led them down a hall that was very mysterious to Draco. But Hermione recognized it as the hall she went down to the crystal to bring her here.
"Professor, didn't there used to be a crystal for crystallization magic in here?"
Hermione saw a vein pop up in McGonagall's neck. How could Hermione know of the legendary crystal? It wasn't supposed to be taught in History of Magic.
They arrived at the room that used to hold the crystal in Hermione's time.
"Hermione and Draco stand at that side of the room. I will stand at this side," McGonagall explained as she got her wand out and tapped herself 3 times, "REVEIL TRUTH!"
A robe appeared on McGonagall. Not any robe though. This was the robe of Death Eaters. McGonagall was a Death Eater.
"Call me Minerva now! And let this duel begin. For your lives!"
"Hermione, get out of here. It is too dangerous for you. Minerva will kill you."
"I'm not leaving, EXPELLIARMUS!" Hermione yelled taking the Headmistress by surprise.
"Accio Wand! STUPIFY! STUPIFY!" Minerva yelled sending one red beam to Hermione and one to Draco.
Together Draco and Hermione yelled one counter curse, "Repercutio!"
The red beam returned to its owner but Minerva jumped out of the way and the beam hit the wall, shattering it. Revealing Dumbledore's office.
"Minerva?" Dumbledore asked.
"DUMBLEDORE, WATCH OUT, Impedimenta!" Hermione yelled.
Minerva was knocked off of her feet; she hit the wall; and some stones fell on top of her.
Minerva got out her wand but Dumbledore had already started a spell, "Petrificus Totalus! Minerva, a Death Eater, I don't believe it!"
"Don't! Stupefy!" Minerva yelled, "You think after taking Voldemort's curses that that spell will work on me?"
"Ready Draco?" Draco nodded, "Intercapedo!"
Minerva McGonagall froze solid. She wasn't moving.
"Well Draco, you sure are coming along with that spell!"
"You remember?"
Hermione was puzzled, how did she know that the other her had taught Draco that spell. Was there something in this world that was reminding her of things that the other Hermione did? Or was this just something Dumbledore had done to her in his office this morning?
"Her…'Mione… is not really the one you grew up with Mr. Malfoy!"
"Avada Kedavra!" Cornelius Fudge yelled at Minerva McGonagall, "That's one bad apple gone."
"YOU CRAZY BASTARD! YOU CAN'T JUST KILL SOMEONE!" Draco yelled, "STUPIFY!"
A red beam hit Fudge right in the stomach and he barfed up some silver liquid that looked like blood.
"That's Dragon's blood!" Hermione explained but Fudge Apparated before she could cast another spell.
Hermione took Draco's hand (His heart skipped a beat) and went to Dumbledore's side where she cast some mediwizardry spells onto Dumbledore and he awoke.
"Fudge murdered Minerva and puked up Dragon's Blood!" Hermione cried.
Dumbledore just stared at Hermione; she knew this meant to return to her dormitory. She bowed to Dumbledore and walked through the wall. When she walked out the door, Dumbledore spoke.
"Draco, Hermione is a very powerful witch; I've seen you look at her. I think we have a bit of true love in your heart."
"I'm not sure. But you are right; she is a very smart and powerful witch." Draco replied.
"Now go to your dormitory, I see Hermione is sleeping in front of the fire, waiting for you. Go to her. Carry her into her room."
Draco nodded and said something to Dumbledore, "Gratusonis Dumbledore!"
"No, it was you and Miss Grainger. You two make a very good team. Don't lose her. You were meant to be together. I can feel it."
Draco smiled and nodded at Dumbledore. He hoped that Dumbledore was right because he was starting to forget about his love for the fair Hermione Grainger. Head girl, the one who found the weakness of the basilisk, the one who revealed Sirius Black, the Death Eater, the one who saved Draco's prophesy, and the one who taught him some high level spells that he used in his last battle against Voldemort.
Hermione sat by the fire, thinking aloud to herself, "Draco, why did fate throw me to such an evil boy in a good boy's body. I can't resist your charm, but I couldn't wait to get away from the old Malfoy. It's almost as if I myself am sleeping in that crystal, and this is just a dream!"
"It's not Hermione," Dumbledore said as he appeared in her fireplace, "This is real. Draco really is in love with you. Treat him as if he was Harry. Please Hermione, For Harry and Ron! Dormiaeris!"
Dumbledore disappeared and Hermione fell asleep in the armchair in front of the fireplace. Draco walked in and saw Hermione sleeping. He picked her up and was carrying her into her room when her hair blew into his face. It smelt like the roses in the Garden of Eden. Draco tucked Hermione into her bed and kissed her on the cheek.
"Goodnight, 'Mione!"
As Draco was about to walk out the door, he heard, "Goodnight Draco!"
Draco muttered a spell and the lights in Hermione's room turned off. He walked into his room and immediately fell asleep on his bed.
