Chapter 25
I Hate Everything About You, But Still Love You
"HOW DID SHE GET AWAY, I PUT HER UNDER THE MOST POWER FULLEST SPELLS AND SHE GETS AWAY!!!!! I AM SURROUNDED BY FOOLS!!!!" yelled a angry Lucius when he heard the news about Phoebe escaping.
"Lucius," Voldemort hissed. "she will come back to us, that spell I placed on her is irreversible in our magic."
"Of course My Lord."
"Your wife will be coming back to you so-"
"Master!!!!" squeaked Wormtail.
"You fool, you interrupt me when I am speaking!!!! Crucio!!!!"
"Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!"
After a couple of seconds he lifted the curse and Wormtail started gasping out the information he received. "My-my Lord…one of our spies has information on their magic, it is different from ours and possibly more powerful. A child that belongs to one of the three has great power, he did things that no one in our time could do!!!!"
"BRING ME THAT CHILD!!!! HE WILL BE GREAT USE TO OUR SIDE!!!!"
"Phoebe!!!" Hermione and Ginny shouted in shock and relief. Phoebe stood there in a elegant green dress that has a very low V-neck, one long slit to her thigh and it clung to her boy as well.
"Where have you been-"
"Where did you get that ring!!!"
"I don't know…I don't really remember what happened after the ball with Lucius. But I remember seeing red eyes that looked like a snakes…"
Hermione and Ginny were about to bombard her with more questions when Paige orbed in with Piper. "Phoebe great you're here, I need you to come with me!" said Paige as she rushed over to Phoebe and orbed away before Piper can question where Phoebe been.
"Geez where's the fire!?" exclaimed Piper as she picked up Wyatt.
"Um Piper I think there is something you need to know…" Hermione said before she hesitantly explained what happened.
Draco
Draco lay sprawled on his bed staring up at the ceiling, his thoughts revolving around a certain brunette.
'I wonder if she still loves me…but I won't forgive her not after shat she did to me and what she caused me. DAMN her!!!! She…she is nothing but a dirty filthy mud-muggleborn, yet I love her.'
He growled in frustration as he got out of bed and put his school robes on, he had to see her just one last time…before he destroyed her. He stepped out the portrait door and walked the hallways in search of the Gryffindor Common Room, he was about to give up before he spotted a young Gryffindor walking the hallway alone. "You!!!" he growled as he gripped the persons arm meanacingly. The person looked at them with fear. "Where's your Common Room." He demanded.
"I-I…"
"Never mind take me there and if you even remotely think if showing me the wrong way I will curse you no matter what. Professor or no Professor you will be tortured by me."
The person gulped but hurriedly showed him the way to the Common Room, the young Gyffindor paused infront of the Fat lady portrait and muttered the password. The Fat lady eyed Draco. "What is a Slytherin doing here???"
"We're working…on a project together!!!" squecked the young Gryffindor and the Fat lady had no choice but to let him in, as she swung open.
Draco looked around and his nose crinkled in disgust, red and gold was draped everywhere. He snorted. 'Just like a Gryffindor.' He spotted the person he was looking for and approached them without receiving many glares from many Gryffindors.
"What is he doing here-"
"I thought Slytherin didn't know where our Common Room was at-"
"Probably trying to make a sex appeal to the girls-"
"Oh my god!!! THE Draco Malfoy is here-"
"He is sooooo cute!!!!"
"Look at that big-"
"Parvati!!!!!"
Hermione turned around to see what all the commotion was all about, but she immedianly regretted when she saw Draco standing before her. Time seemed to freeze between them as they gazed into each others eyes longily. "Granger I need to speak to you."
Hermione nodded and followed him out and away from the Gryffindor Common Room and into the Great Hall. "Draco…" she whispered as she moved to hug him but he stepped back, a cold look in his eyes.
And all the feelings that we get
But I still don't miss you yet
"Meaning you are fighting a losing battle Granger, when we face each other we will be enemies…not lovers." It pained him to say this but he knew it was for the best.
"Draco…did you get the Dark Mark??" she asked apprehensively.
"Funny you should ask." He replied dryly. He expected her to run, walk away or even slap him but not this.
"I still love you anyway."
He stared at her like she muttered to the Unforgiven Curse, he definitely expect that. "I hate you though Mudblood!!!"
She sobbed but did not leave; she just looked at him with eyes full of pain. Slowly she walked towards him, she wanted to feel him again. She wanted him to be with her. Her hand reached up to touch his check but he grabbed her wrist and twisted it painfully making her whimper. She looked up into his cold grey eyes, she thought she saw concern flash through them but it was instantly replaced by a cold smirk. "Please…"
"Don't touch me bitch!!!" he sneered as he pushed her to the ground but she abruptly got back up.
Tears streamed down her face as she reached up with both hands and held his head in her hands; she didn't want to lose him. Not like this.
Why do I love you
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you
"Tell me you don't love me, then I will leave you. Tell me and I will never be near you…tell me and I will no longer be in your presence."
Draco growled and grabbed her by her hair roughly making her yelp in pain, then he swooped down and kissed her like an angry animal that had not eaten in a long time. He still had a hold of her hair while his other hand traveled down her back, leaving trails of electricity in her.
Her hands sunk into his silky hair and kissed him hungrily as well, even if it was full of lust, hurt and pain.
She still wanted to feel him, be near him.
After every hit we take
Every feeling that I get
But I haven't missed you yet
They broke away to breathe; Hermione peered into his eyes hoping that he may change his decision. Draco saw the questioning look in her eyes and for a moment he questioned himself but pushed that thought aside.
"You know its true."
"Granger this is dark love but unfortunately I do not feel the same with you."
"Stop it…"
"I was only going with you to see if you were a good lay."
"St…op it…" she croaked.
"And to think you actually believed me when I said I loved you."
Her hands covered her face and more tears fell.
Why do I love you
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you
"Wh-why!? Why are you telling me this!?!" she screeched clinging to his front robes hoping he was lying.
About you, I know
Only when you stop to think
About me, do you know
He didn't want to do this, seeing her like this made him want to kiss her wishing to take the pain away from her but he knew he couldn't. He had to do this, so she could be strong when he was weak. "It's better for you to know now, even though I would love to see you hear it another way. I'm just doing you a favor…hoe."
Hermione couldn't take much more of this and fled leaving Draco to stare at the spot she was standing at.
Why do I love you
Tears blinded her vision as she raced back outside to the lake and collapsed to the ground, her body shook as she continued sobbing, and to make matters worse it was also raining.
"Alright Paige what's the big idea???" Phoebe asked as she rubbed her hands together trying to get warm.
"Listen, for a couple of weeks I have been studying I-ching tarot cards, runes and tea leaves they're all giving me the same reading."
"…And that is?"
"That there is something big going on in the supernatural world. If my reading is right, its not just the thunder and the heat we could be in store for an earthquake or worse."
"Okay so what do you want us to do? Do you have a plan?"
"That's what we're doing here, I've been scrying for an evil spot and it ended up here five times." Paige stated as she motioned to the mountain covered snows, no civilization what so ever.
"Okay there is a reason that no one lives in this part of the world because they all died from the cold." Paige ignored her as she walked around looking for anything that may remotely lead to why they were brought her. She was about to give up until she noticed something: a scorch mark in the snow.
"Scorch mark. See if you can get a premonition off of it."
"I don't have my gloves."
Paige waved her hand aimlessly. "Tough it out, I got us this far."
Phoebe kneels down her hands hovering over the scorch mark, eyes closed trying to get something.
"Did you get anything?"
"Yeah. Frost bite. Shush." Then a image flashed before her making her standing up abruptly. "Ooh! Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot!!!"
"Hot?"
"No not here, in my vision."
"Vision, good tell me what you saw."
"Ah, two people coming out of that." Phoebe exclaimed pointing to the two ice cages. When Paige was about to say something the roof caved in on them making them buried under the snow. Their heads popped out and Paige smiled as Phoebe just glared at her.
"Earthquake. Did I call it or what?"
"Did I mention this sucks?"
