It was Christmas morning. Hermione was awoken to the sound of someone crying. She looked over to Parvati's bed and discovered it was her.
"Parvati? What's wrong?" Hermione asked, walking over to her bed. She was pretty sure she already knew the answer. Parvati was looking at something on her bed. Hermione gasped when she realized what it was.
On top of Parvati's bed sheets was a picture in a frame. The picture was of Lavender and Parvati hugging on the last day of school, obviously taken in their first year. At the bottom the frame was the inscription "Best Friends Forever".
"This is the Christmas gift she had made for me, she obviously sent it before she……." Parvati began, then collapsed in tears. "I need to go find my sister, please excuse me, Merry Christmas" she said and went off.
"Merry Christmas," Hermione said Parvati's back. Hermione let out a sigh, she turned around to her own pile of gifts and began to open them. From Harry, Ginny and the rest of the Weasleys she received something that rather surprised her. It was a broom. A note fell from the wrapping paper.
"Something that might help our new Gryffindor Keeper, Merry Christmas!" Hermione laughed, putting the note down. She knew since Harry became captain of the Gryffindor team, he wanted her to play. She really was interested but was afraid of not being able to do it. She had no excuse now. She went through the rest of her presents from her family. There was something missing. Then she spotted it, right next to her pillow was a small box shaped package. She opened it eagerly and inside was a necklace. On the necklace was the most beautiful jem she had ever seen. It was a dark red. She put it on and she felt a comforting warmth come through her body. She picked up the note that fell out of the box.
"In a tough situation, I think you'll find this necklace most useful. I hope you like it! Love always, Severus." she folded the note back up and put it in her pocket. She continued on downstairs to the Great Hall.
"Well, well, well, isn't this romantic! A couple kissing in a broom closet!" Blaise said, looking at Padma Patil and Justin Finch-Fletchy.
"Beat it, Blaise!" Justin yelled, his fists clenched.
"Now, now, I don't think Padma wants to see you get your ass kicked, step down," Blaise said smirking.
"What do you want, Blaise?" Padma spat.
"To ruin your sister's life, of course," Blaise stated simply.
"What's that have to do with me?" Padma asked nervously.
"Well, she lost her best friend to me, didn't she? You're all she has left! Once you're gone, she'll have nothing!" Blaise said laughing.
"Leave her alone!" Justin said, his wand at the ready.
"PETRIFICUS TOTALUS!!" Blaise said, Justin went stiff as a board. "My, I'm beginning to love that spell."
"What are you doing?" Padma asked, her voice shaking.
"Oh, trust me, you'll be the first to find out!" Blaise said wickedly. He lifted Padma up over her shoulders and brought her to a window. Padma screamed and he threw her out of it. "No way she'll survive that!" he said out loud. He pulled a time turner our of his pocket. "I think I'm beginning to find this thing that Draco sent to me increasingly useful, now to torture that mudblood!" he said, spinning the time turner.
He was back to where he was just an hour before. He ran up to the front door and opened it. He allowed the two strongest Death Eaters to enter, Bellatrix Lestrange and Lucius Malfoy.
"Snape is downstairs in his office, attack him there," Blaise said, and continued on upstairs to the Gryffindor tower to meet Hermione as she was coming out. He was finally there. He pointed his wand at the exiting Hermione and said "STUPEFY!"
"Protego!" she said, almost prepared for this attack. "Nice try, Blaise, but you're a bit too slow," she said and continued walking.
"IMPEDIMENTA!!" he yelled. She blocked it easily, again.
"EXPELLIARMUS!!!" Hermione yelled. Blaise went flying, as did his wand. "Accio wand!" Hermione yelled, Blaise's wand came straight to her hand.
"What are you going to do?" Blaise asked nervously. But before she could answer, he jumped at her. He tackled her to the ground and took back his wand. "I hope that'll teach you not to mess with a pure-blood!" Blaise said.
"Nope, Stupefy!" Hermione said, Blaise fell to the ground and Hermione walked away triumphantly.
"CRUCIO!!!" Lucius and Bellatrix said in unison. Snape fell to the ground, twitching in pain. Through the pain, miraculously, Snape stood up.
"Incendio!" Snape shouted. Bellatrix's robes caught fire. Lucius let down his guard trying to help her. "Immobulus!" Snape yelled, Lucius was frozen. Just then Dumbledore walked in.
"How did they get in?" he asked urgently.
"I suspect the Zabini boy let them in!" Snape said, waving his wand, creating a new flame on Bellatrix's robes.
"I see, well, we'll have to deal with him in the only way I see fit," Dumbledore said, and with a wave of his wand, he was dragging the two Death Eaters along with him.
"Hermione!!!" Parvati yelled, sobbing.
"What is it?" Hermione asked.
"It's Padma, she's……she's dead. She was found outside, directly below a sixth floor window. People are saying she killed herself. I don't believe it. I think it was Blaise!" she said, crying again.
"But…..But that's impossible! I was just dueling with Blaise a little while ago, he tried to attack me!" Hermione said nervously.
"Looks can be deceiving, Granger," Blaise said playing with the time turner. "Haven't seen you in a while have I, Patil? How has life been treating you?"
"I hate you," Parvati said, a look of pure repulsion in her eyes.
"Glad to hear it!" Blaise said happily and began on his way downstairs.
"Not so fast Mr. Zabini!" Snape said, grabbing his arm. "Letting two Death Eaters into the school! Dumbledore would like a word. Parvati, Hermione, please come too."
They arrived at Dumbledore's office rather quickly. They went in to find Bellatrix and Lucius tied up on the floor. Dumbledore opened his mouth to speak but Parvati beat him to it. She told him all the events of the day so far, from discovering Padma's death, to Blaise and the time turner.
"I see, Mr. Zabini, I will have no choice but to sentence you to the dementor's kiss, luckily I have quick access to the few remaining dementor's," Dumbledore said.
"Oh, we're all so scared," Voldemort said mockingly.
"Tom! How did you get in here?" Dumbledore asked.
"There might be anti-aparation charms all over the school, but what's to stop me from walking in the front door?" Voldemort asked, laughing.
"What do you want here?" Dumbledore asked. Snape was unusually silent.
"Oh just to get my three faithful followers! Lucius! Bellatrix! Severus!" Voldemort said, waving his wand and freeing Bellatrix and Lucius. They immediately went over to Voldemort. "What are you waiting for Severus?" Voldemort asked.
"I'm not coming! I'm not your slave anymore! I've switched sides! What are you going to do about it?" Snape asked firmly.
"Isn't it obvious? I intend to tear you, rip you, kill you!" Voldemort said.
"Not on my watch!" Dumbledore said, raising his wand.
"Expelliarmus!" Voldemort yelled, disarming Dumbledore. "Such a simple spell to disarm supposedly the greatest wizard of all time!" Voldemort laughed.
"CRUCIO!" Snape yelled, Voldemort ducked out of the way.
" 'tis a shame to see one of my most faithful servants choosing such a stupid path. And gallivanting with this mudblood! But, you've chosen death, and death you shall receive," Voldemort said. Fawkes swooped down from his perch and attack Voldemort. Voldemort waved his wand pointlessly, and was chased out of the office.
"Good job Fawkes," Dumbledore said, patting the bird as it returns. A dementor was at his side.
"Mr. Zabini, you will be given five minutes to sort your affairs, then you will receive your punishment, leave!" Dumbledore commanded. Blaise left immediately. "I'm so sorry you girls had to witness all this, and on Christmas." he said. The girls left. "You do realize what will happen now, Severus?"
"He will kill me," Snape said slowly.
"No, never! I sense the beginning of our second war," Dumbledore said strongly.
A/N: Blaise is finally receiving his just punishment. Poor Parvati will finally be able to live her life in peace. Or will she? Dumbledore declared the second war. The fighting begins. I hate to say this, my faithful reviewers, but my story is coming to a close. I don't see it exceeding 20 chapters. I'm sorry this one wasn't great. I promise, it'll get better. I'll try and update later today. Thanks to all my reviewers!
