Author's Note: Well, shall I be nice? I thought. I tried to write this up during my half-term hols, but got half way and gave up. Had to revise you know. But I have been kind enough to give this to you a WEEK early!!  DID ANY OF YOU HARRY POTTER 3?!

ISN'T IT BETTER THAN 1 & 2?

First of all thanks to:

Animalzoo: Ahh! You made my day! So far, nobody has said that to me! Apart from my friends though – but they have to review you know ¬

LadyProngs: Trust me, you're not the only one to like Shah Rukh Khan! So does nearly everyone else on the planet right? Did you see Main Hoo Na by any chance? It's the bomb! I take it you've checked out Aquariel's story too? They're big fans of him too!

He he he: Uh, thanks!! You seem hyper; keep low on the sugar though, real low. Tee Hee Hee. See, now you set me off laughing!

Last Time:

- Hermione

Hermione groggily stirred and opened her eyes; it seemed as it if it was the first time she had done so in a million years.

The bright light of the outdoors was stinging her eyes so she rubbed them wearily.

"Urgh," Hermione started, "What – what am I doing here?"

Chapter 19

- Holly's Death Service

Liz and Rose were distraught, distraught and haunted by the paleness of Holly's face. They sat at Repton House table in the Main Hall and waited closed eyed and still while the rest of the school filed into the hall in silence.

The memory of their sister was still fresh and burning in their minds, no matter how many times they had fought, they had always loved her, but Liz and Rose didn't even have a chance to say goodbye.

The hall was lit dully by candles and everyone had been told to dress in black robes. There were plain black velvet cloths over the tables and curtains hiding the shining moonlight from entering the hall. There were booklets in front of every person, which contained a few hymns to be sung.

Harry and Ron came in and stood at the entrance, unsure whether to leave and hunt for Hermione or stay and comfort their two best friends.

"We've left them alone for too long," Ron said, using his empathic powers to sense the girls need for them, "Hermione can wait."

They walked up and squeezed in beside the two girls. Harry, sitting beside Liz, grabbed hold of her arms and pulled her into a strong and secure hug. Ron, now hesitating with what to do, turned Rose to face him. Her red hair was dark and needed a good comb, but Ron was used to this state of hair – Harry could never control his.

"Rose," Ron said gently, "I'm no good with this kinda problem but…I'm here for you."

The hall suddenly quietened down so that you could here a pin fall and remember its chilling echo.

Professor Voltaire rose from his seat and walked towards the front of the high stage. He looked grave and solemn.

"Students and professors, we are gathered today to show respect to our former Head Girl, Holly C. Jenkins. Her responsibility, courage and outstanding knowledge have been highly thought of amongst us all. Holly had been………"

- Draco's Initiation

Draco Malfoy ran his hand through his dark hair. He was confused. His initiation was to begin in less than an hour, and already he had doubts. Maybe this was not the right thing to do, maybe he should turn and run, maybe this is exactly what he needed, and so on so forth.

He slipped on his black robes and rolled up the sleeve of his left arm. In a few moments, there would a dark mark upon it.

The gong sounded deep within the hidden layout of Lord Voldemort, and Draco jerked out of his trance. It was now time, the time to become a Deatheater.

Draco turned and swiftly walked out of his room and into the dimly lit corridor. He heard and faint hissing sound behind and nearly jumped out of his skin. It was only Lord Voldemort's pet snake.

He hurried his footsteps, climbed three staircases, walked through six corridors, turned into various rooms, said a million incantations, and finally ended up in the Doomsdungeon Hall.

The room was what muggles would call hellish, the walls – if there were any (the room seemed never-ending) – were totally black, but there the glass flooring served as heating, and fire reflected of the furniture, which were a glistening black torture instruments and a blood soaked sofa with cracked black stools around it.

Hellish all right. You could even hear your own footfalls, and breathing!

Draco looked out into the hall; recently, his sight had improved to being able to see in the dark. He could see a shrouded figure standing behind the sofa, and he could swear a blond strand had been swiped away…

"Master," He growled in a deep voice, "I, Draco Lucius Malfoy, have come to serve you. I have come for my initia – "

 "Enough!" The figure turned rapidly and Draco saw that it was none other than his father – Lucius Malfoy.

"Father?"

- Curious

Riana and Leah finally understood why the others had been so distant with them and Aurora for such a long time. Maybe they were too interfering?

No. They had helped in the rescuing of Holly hadn't they? They had been the ones to discuss what to do, but what really happened after they got too the well was a different story.

Flashback:

"The wind is too strong here!" Riana shouted as she and her ex-boyfriend, Nick circled the atmosphere in the Northeastern area.

"We've got to get back and warn the others!" Leah flew by them along with Aurora and Russell by her side.

"There's no way we can get out of here!" Aurora pulled back on her broomstick frantically, "The force is trying to push us into the well!"

"LEAH!"

Leah lost control of her broom and was immediately flung into the well – but not quite, the invisible barrier crashed into her and she bounced off into the other direction.

"NO! We've got to find her!" Riana screamed.

Together they finally made their way out of that thunderstorm. Leah was stuck in a tree, her broom had snapped into two.

"Get me down from here!" Leah had yelled.

End of Flashback.

Riana remembered everything, once they managed to pull Leah out of that tree, something strange was happening to Russell. He started to wretch and then fell to the ground as though he was having a fit or something.

Then the weirdest thing occurred, Russell began to transform into something else – another human being. But before the others could see who he had become, he vanished! Just like that.

Aurora had then collapsed into a rage of tears. Riana and Leah were by her side, but Nick remained where he was – staring at the spot where Russell – or whoever – had just vanished from. Then he ran for it, jumped onto his broom and took off before Riana could stop him. Strange or what?

Riana had not seen Nick since then and everything had happened so fast – she hadn't even slept with him! And everyone who knows Riana knows that she sleeps with her boyfriends.

"HEY!" Leah waved her hand frantically in front of Riana's face.

"OH!" Riana nearly jumped out of her skin, "What is UP? Why the hell did you scare me like that?!"

"Because he's here," Leah pointed to a familiar face wondering aimlessly in the hall.

- Draco's Task

Draco moved his head to the side slightly, inquiring his father, "What are you doing here?"

"Don't use that tone with me Draco!" Lucius retorted, "Now, you were to be initiated, but I came aware of something has arisen, something very very problematic."

"Em…and what would that be?" Draco asked sarcastically, he had better things to do than do his father's duties. What would he get out of it anyway?

"I told you NOT TO USE THAT TONE WITH ME DRACO!" Lucius roared.

Draco sighed in irritancy; this conversation was clearly getting nowhere.

"I'm running out of time here, father," Draco said.

"And what exactly have you got to get to?" Lucius scowled at his son's annoying snarl, "Never mind. Anyway, like I was saying, something strange has arisen and it has come to my attention that you had been with her for quite some – "

Draco's head snapped up, "What do you mean by her?"

Lucius smirked, "I'm talking about that mudblood – Hermione Granger. And what you seem to have been to her."

- Couples

Harry led Liz out of the Hall after the assembly, Liz and Rose had spent the whole thing in tears.

"Liz," Harry said soothingly, "It's all right, it's over."

"Yeah, over," Liz replied moodily.

Harry sighed and brought Liz into a deep long kiss.

While Harry and Liz snogged, Rose and Ron stood awkwardly beside them.

"Err, I should go," Rose said.

"Maybe I'll come with you – if that's okay," Ron hurriedly caught up with her.

"Yeah sure."

"So," Ron started, "You o – SPIDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Ron stumbled and tried to skid away as he saw a humongous eight-legged creature crawl out of the transfiguration – evil memories sprouted into his mind.

But it didn't stop there, more and more poured out of the room!!

"ARGH!!!!!!!" Ron yelled, "WHAT IS GOING ON AROUND HERE!!!!!!!"

"Ron!" Rose grasped Ron close to her reassuringly, "Calm down!"

"STUPEFY!" Professor Zelda Zeladrix stood in the doorway of the transfiguration room wand pointing at the gruesome beasts.

"Sorry, dear," Zeladrix said calmly, "It seems that SOMEONE enlarged the spiders in the breeding jar."

"You breed those things?" Ron yelled, eyeballs popping out of their sockets.

"Ron!" Rose said, "Sorry Professor, Ron is a little frightened of them."

"SO WOULD YOMMMMMmmmhmhmhhhmhhhm," Rose gagged Ron with her sleeve.

"Better be going now," She laughed nervously.

Rose, holding Ron steady, managed to get up a few staircases and to their common room, where she tried to calm Ron down.

- And Finally

Hermione glanced around and found that she was on a balcony, possibly the one outside the Main Hall, and only in a gown.

Okay, what is going on here? I mean I was in the Hospital Wing when Draco flung his wand out and fired something at me. But that doesn't explain how I'm here. Maybe he put me here?

Hermione rubbed her head and stood, she felt a little ditzy at first but then got hold of herself.  She felt around in her pockets to find her wand, and – it wasn't there.

Ookay then, I don't have my wand…what do I do…THINK YOU BLOODY BITCH THINK! YOU NEED THAT WAND!!!

Hermione resorted to the only thing in her mind right now, "ACCIO WAND!"

Hermione stood there feeling very awkward. She stared at her stretched hand and bowed her head, "I'm so thick. Like the wand will fly into my hand from over here. I'm probably too far away."

She went to the edge of the balcony unaware of the faint whistling growing steadily louder behind her.

"OW!!!" Hermione yelled as a sharp object hit her on the head, "SHIT!"

She sighed and picked up the wand from the floor, "How in the world did it get to me?"

Little did she know that her powers were getting stronger by the minute.
