Chapter 1 - Surprise

"Uncle! Was it you who fired the Dark Mark this time?" asked an overexcited teenager.

"Draco. I never would have fired it. Someone has fired it and now they must be the Dark Lord's favored one. Scaring the hell outta all of the grown wizards." Said the man. "Call me Father. No need to arouse the Ministry's attention. You know your father sent me, his twin brother, to fool the officials." Added the man.

"What's your problem Uncle? I told you I wanted to spy on that girl." Said Draco angrily.

"Your crush, you mean. Hope you can find her. The people from the Ministry will be out there in the chaotic campsites." Said Draco's uncle.

He turned to face Draco only to find the teen had already run outside. He grinned.

"The house elf didn't fire the Dark Mark. Don't you understand? Ron? Harry? It's not possible. Someone's just trying to mirror what happened at the Quidditch World Cup two years ago. It also means Harry might be in grave danger. Don't you realize this is serious?" Hermione's voice pierced the chilly night air.

"We reckon you're right." Ron muttered.

"Reckon? I'm right. Someone else must've been there. Another psycho trying to copy what Crouch Junior did." Said Hermione shrilly.

Draco could not hear the rest of the conversation because someone had just called them to help catch a rat that was in their sleeping bag. The lights went out suddenly and the only thing he could hear was someone's light snoring.

"Will she ever come out?" muttered Draco.

As if his wish was granted, Hermione stepped out of the tent wearing only a white nightgown and a robe.

Without warning Hermione felt herself whirled around and pressed against a tree. Before she could scream she felt someone kiss her passionately.

When the kiss ended Hermione pulled away and dragged the person into the light of the moon. She gasped as she recognized the person.

"Malfoy?" said Hermione who was still shocked.

"You never knew, did you? It was I who cared greatly about you unlike that stupid Krum boy you went out with often." Draco said knowingly.

"How did you know about us?" asked Hermione.

Ignoring the question she asked he continued. "You and him weren't even a couple. Krum's been going out with this hot and sexy girl for five years. If only you paid attention to all the tabloids that said he was going out with someone older you'd would have known without me having to break the news to you first." Draco said quietly.

"Why did you kiss me? Are you some kind of pervert?" asked Hermione shakily.

Draco pulled out his wand and yelled "Discordio!" He vanished into thin air.

'That's strange. That spell is only used by Death Eaters to return to a certain location.' Thought Hermione realizing her problems.

She fled into the forest near the campsite where she cried her heart out.
