"What's the matter Harry?" Ron asked, immediately after hearing Harry curse in pain.
"My scar," Harry managed to say. Ron's eyes went wide, a look of fear flashing in his eyes.
"Y-your scar. That means H-He's nearby," Ron stuttered, "It can't be."
Harry shook his head, pushing the thought away, "No, I just banged my head on the cabinets," he lied.
"Oh, okay then. You alright?" Ron sighed in relief.
"Fine," Harry answered. Ron nodded his head, and returned happily to his slice of pie. Harry continued to rub his scar until the pain had subsidded.
"Harry Potter! Is Harry Potter alright?" Dobby came rushing to the scene, kneeling next to the broken glass.
"Oh yeah, sorry there Dobby," Harry apologized , looking at the mess he caused.
"That is okay Harry Potter sir. Dobby is glad that Harry Potter is not hurt."
Harry repaired the glass with magic and after thanking Dobby once more, both he and Ron returned to their common room.
Back at the Heads tower, Hermione lay on her bed, stroking Crookshanks with one hand and doing her homework with her other hand. Unlike the two boys, Hermione had already tackled more than half of her homework as was quickly finishing off another paper. She glanced up at the clock, realizing it was close to dinner.
'One more paper,' she told herself, pulling out a sheet of questions for Transfiguration.
Downstairs, Draco sat on the couch, glancing nervously at the clock, then at the fireplace. As the clock struck exactly 6 o'clock, Lucious Malfoy emmerged from the fireplace.
"Father," Draco said coolly, standing up.
"Draco," Lucious acknowledged his son. Lucious brushed off the ashes that covered his silky black cloak.
"Well, aren't you going to offer your father a seat in this-" he paused, looking around the common room.
"In this cozy place," he said sarcastically. Draoc moved aside, offering the couch.
"That's better," Lucious sat down, placing his feet up on the table.
"So Draco, tell me, how is school?" His father's grey eyes turned to face him.
"Fine."
"Are you taking your responsibilities as Head Boy seriously?"
"Yes."
"Hmm," Lucious hummed in satisfaction,"So how is it living with the mudblood?" Lucious watched his son. Draco gritted his teeth, hiding any emotion from his father.
"I stay out of her way, she stay's out of mine," Draco answered wisely.
"I see."
"Why are you here Father?" Draco's eyes slit suspiciously.
"To see my favourite son of course!" Lucious said with a chuckle.
"I'm your only son," Draco hissed.
"Oh Draco, Draco, Draco," Lucious sighed, "You may be my only son, my only child, but you are the next Malfoy after me. You will take over my duties as a Malfoy once you are ready. I simply came here to tell you, it's nearly time. Everything is almost set," Lucious grinned, standing up. He placed a strong hand on Draco's shoulder.
"You know your destiny son," with that, he swished his cloak and headed back into the fireplace. With a quick nod he disappeared into the firey flames, leaving Draco standing alone in the dimly lit common room.
"Draco? Is everything alright?" Hermione rested her hand on the stair rail, not seeing Lucious leave. Draco jerked his head around, his cold eyes replaced by a warm smile. He nodded.
"You ready for dinner?" He asked. She headed down the stairs as she asnwered his question with a yes. Draco laced his fingers with hers as they exited the tower. Many of the halls were already empty and just before entering a somewhat busy hallway, Hermione unlaced her fingers from Dracos, both understanding why. Just then Pansy Parkinson rushed up to them.
"Oh Drakie!" She exclaimed, placing her hand on his chest, "I've been looking all over for you."
"Why?" Draco asked, taking her hand off him as if she was diseased.
"Do you think we could go somewhere private...without the mudblood?" She glanced at Hermione, moving her fingers to touch Draco. Draco grabbed her arm, squeezing it tightly.
"Don't you DARE call her that Pansy. She's a Head. Give her some respect," he spat out, throwing the Slytherin against the stone wall. Pansy looked at Draco, both confused and frightened as she hurried away from the two.
"You shouldn't have done that," Hermione whispered, looking at Pansy's figure turn the corner.
"Why not?" Draoc's face was still red with fury.
"She's gonna tell someone."
"Let her." From then on, it was silent amongst the two, until they reached the Great Hall and seperated to their respective tables.
After promising to help Harry and Ron with their homework, Hermione headed up th her own tower to grab a few books after dinner. Draco was seated on the couch, flipping through Wizard Weekly when he looked up to see Hermione grab a few books from the table.
"Where are you going?" He asked her.
"I promised Harry and Ron that I'd help them with their homework," she replied.
"Oh." Hermione turned to Draco and walked over to the couch.
"I'll be back in a few hours," she told him, sealing the promise with a kiss.
Inside the Gryffindor tower, Hermione made her way up to the boys dormatory, letting herself into Ron and Harry's bedroom.
"You guys ready?" She asked. Both Ron and Harry nodded. She sat with each of them, helping them with most of their work. Time flew by quickly as Hermione glanced at the clock. She gasped, realizing it was already almost 10pm.
"I should get going," she stood up, kissing each of the boys on the cheek.
"I'll take you back to your tower," Ron said, getting up from his chair. They walked slowly, chatting about their up-coming graduation and their plans from the summer.
"Thanks a lot for helping me and Harry out again," Ron said, stopping at the entrance to her tower.
"No problem," she smiled, "But next time, don't leave things for the last minute!"
Ron gave a small laugh.
"I"ll see you tomorrow them," Hermione said, turning her back to him.
"Wait," he called. She turned back around.
"Yes?" She asked, looking into his eyes, searching for an answer. Ron turned red in the cheeks as he looked back into Hermione's eyes. He inched forwards, stroking Hermione's smooth hair. He watched her close her eyes as his lips grew closer to hers. Just as he was about to kiss her, she backed off.
"Ron, I'm sorry," she said, "I can't do this."
Rushing into her tower, she didn't see a pair of silver eyes hidden behind the corner opposite the tower entrance.
Ron gazed at the portrait, the sixteenth century family whispering feverishly about what just happened.
"She's a tough one to get she is," the father in the portrait said.
"Ay laddy, better luck next time!" Spoke the mother. Ron walked off, his head watching the floor.
"Watch it Weasley!" Malfoy snapped after he and Ron bumped into each other.
"Screw off Malfoy," Ron said lifelessly as he continued his route back to the Gryffindor tower. Draco smirked, happy to see the red head in a bad mood, as he entered his tower. He expected to see Hermione sitting on the couch, but the common room was empty. He looked up to her bedroom to see the door closed and the lights off. He made his way up the stairs and opened her door quietly. She lay peacefully under the covers, already sleeping. He smiled, closing the door slowly and headed back to his own room, where he lay silently on his bed, thinking about the one girl who could free him from his past. His ugly childhood, growing up as a Malfoy, especially living under the shadow as the son of the great Lucious Malfoy. Draco shook the thoughts from his minds, as he closed his eyes to sleep.
~~~
"Lucious, you are my most trusted Death Eater," a cold, raw voice spoke, "You know what must be done."
The chair swirled around to reaveal a thined out Harry Potter, his eyes as red as the bulging scar on his forhead.
"Yes Master," Lucious bowed low to the floor.
"I want him here, alive. I want the pleasure of killing him the same way I disposed of his filthy mother and father," Harry hissed, his red slit-pupilled eyes flashed dangerously of evil. Lucious' lips curled into a smirk.
"It will be my honour to bring you that boy," Lucious answered, bowing once more.
~~~
Harry awoke abruptly, sweat racing quickly down his face. The dream. It was a dream. Harry tried quickly to recount the nightmare he witnessed. It was another one of those dreams that he would see through Voldemort's eyes. It had been a few years since Harry had had a dream like that.
"He's planning to strike again," Harry whispered into the dark room.
