NeLLy22: For now I can't reveal anything until the end, but keep those thoughts you have till the end. They may end up surprising you.
Chapter 9:
'That Susan is a really nice girl. I'm glad that I met her.' Thought Hermione, as she waved goodbye to her newfound friend.
Hermione was still smiling as she reached the entrance to the Head's common room. Her moment of serenity and calm were abruptly broken by a familiar voice.
"Granger, you were supposed to be here half an hour ago. Did you forget that we had patrol duty today?" Said Draco, scowling.
Hermione replied, unable to keep eye contact. "I had to tutor someone, sorry."
Draco's face flashed surprise, but went unnoticed by Hermione. Who was still staring at her feet. "Well, let's get going. I for one, am tired and in need of a good night's rest."
Hermione did as he said, without even saying a word. Although Draco thought it was strange, he decided to the thought. He already had too much on his mind already.
The patrol was nearing an end and still they both had yet to utter a word. Even though they hadn't fought, the tension between them was so thick that it could be cut with a blunt knife.
'Great.' Hermione thought, furious with herself. 'Come on, say something. You've never been at a loss of words with him before.' "So, Malfoy..." Hermione started.
"Yeah, what is it?" Draco asked.
"Malfoy," Hermione hesitated and continued quickly. "What's your favorite color?" After asking the question, she immediately scolded herself.
Draco raised his eyebrows, but for once gave a straightforward answer. "My favorite color's green." Then he smirked. "Let me guess, is your favorite color red or gold?"
"Actually my favorite color is green too," Hermione said, again surprising Draco. He had expected an angry comeback.
They were once again silent, leaving time for Hermione to think. 'What were you thinking Hermione Anne Granger? Favorite color? That's the best you could think of? Now he thinks you're an idiot, on top of thinking that you fancy him.' Hermione sighed she knew that she wouldn't be able to get over this awkwardness, without confronting it with him.
She took a deep breath and said, "Malfoy, about yesterday-"
Draco interrupted her before she could continue. "Forget about it. If we don't ever bring it up again, in a matter of months so will the entire school."
"I-" Hermione stopped, this was not the reaction that she was expecting. She was bracing herself for a reaction more along the lines of teasing. Maybe he had changed after all.
Then Draco grinned. "But," He paused. "Before we forget about this entirely. Can I ask a question? Do you really fancy me so much, that you would kiss me in front of the entire school?"
Hermione glared at him. 'Scratch that last thought, Draco Malfoy will never change. He'll forever remain the arrogant egotistic git from first year.' She answered fury blazing in her eyes. "First of all Malfoy, it was not in front of the entire school, but in our potions class. Two, I do not in any way fancy you. You must have made a mistake while making the potion. I found the book Moste Poten-" Hermione covered her mouth, she did not want him to know that she had been snooping around his things.
"I know you found the book Granger." Draco smirked. "And there is no way that I have made a mistake in making the potion. I have made it so many times that I can make it with my eyes closed. So that means that you do fancy me, in fact probably a lot. Seeing as how you practically
Hermione stopped walking and put her hands on her hips. She opened her mouth to speak, but paused when they heard hushed voices. Her curiosity overpowered her anger, she signaled Draco to be quiet.
They crept to where the voices were coming from. They were led to an empty classroom, or better known as the Room of Requirements.
Hermione knew that she should just walk in and report them, but curiosity got the better of her. She leaned her ear to the door and although she heard voices, the words were muffled and incoherent.
Sighing, she fished through her pocket and got out two pairs of Extendable Ears. She grimaced, she felt like such a hypocrite. On countless times she had scolded Fred and George for their dangerous inventions. However she had kept these handy just in case she needed them. She promised herself not to be so harsh on the twins.
She handed Draco a pair, and he accepted questioningly. "What are these?"
"Put this in your ear then put it against the door," Said Hermoine in a bored tone.
Draco did as he was told, and gave her a startled look. "Where did you get these?"
"Fred and George sell these at their joke shop," Hermione answered simply. "Now, be quiet I want to hear what they're saying."
She put on her Extendable Ear and put it against the door. As soon as she started listening, she was surprised at who they were.
"I said I'm sorry Ivy. We won't get anywhere if we keep arguing like this," Said James, starting to lose his patience.
"Fine, I guess you're right. The one important thing right now is to make our parents fall in love," Said Ivy, finally admitting defeat.
"Serena, Ivy have you found out anything on how the kiss happened in potions class?" Asked Mark.
Serena grinned. "I found out in the library records that my father took out the book Moste Potente Potions. Now, all we have to do is figure out which potion he used."
"No need, I have two potential potions that dad used. One is the Desiriodo Potion and the other is the Tarentella Potion. I'm personally hoping it's the Desiriodo Potion is the one that was used," Said Ivy.
"What do the two potions do?" Said Izzy.
Ivy whipped out a piece of parchment. "That's why I wrote it all down." She read from her notes. "The Tarentella Potion makes the user able to control the victims body. However unlike the Imperio Curse it is only temporary."
Ivy took a breath and continued. "Now the Desiriodo Potion is a different matter. This potion makes the drinker to do whatever their deepest desire is."
"Do your notes tell you what color the potion is?" Said Izzy.
Ivy nodded. "Yeah, the Tarentella Potion is supposed to have a gray color and the Desiriodo Potion is supposed to be pink."
"Then it's a good thing that I found this vial in Harry's robes. Actually he dropped it when he was going up to his room." Izzy held up a vial, which had a residue of pink liquid.
"So that was what my dad was slipping into your mothers pumpkin juice," Said James, more to himself then to the others.
Then there was a minute of silence. Bringing their parents together was much more complicated then they first thought.
"So..." Started Mark.
"So what?" Said James, relieved that the silence was gone.
Mark shrugged. "Nothing. I just wanted to get rid of the silence."
"I have something to say." The others leaned in to listen to Izzy. "I thought we were supposed to practice saying our parents name. I was also thinking, will Draco really help Harry and Ginny get back together? If he does then we don't have to worry anymore about James' parents getting back together."
"I don't know. I mean Draco that I know from the future and the Draco that we know now are different," Ivy said.
"I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Then we can decide if we need to intervene," Serena said.
They all agreed and was thinking of anything else they needed to discuss, when Izzy started in a happy smile. "It's a good thing that we don't have to worry about my parents. I heard Neville ask Luna to the dance." Izzy laughed.
"We better get going before we get caught," Said James, wearily.
Hermione abruptly got up and dragged Draco into a nearby classroom. "Be quiet until they leave."
The two watched their children leave and Hermione finally let out her breath. "Whew that was close." She then realized what they said. She was the future wife of Draco. "Um, Draco about what we heard-"
"It won't ever happen. I don't understand why Ivy and Serena claimed that they are our children, but I refuse to believe it," Said Draco grimly.
"Ok," Hermione answered a bit disappointed and thought. 'Why am I disappointed, it's not like I love let alone like Malfoy.'
Draco turned to look at her. "Aren't you going to go?"
Hermione looked at him confused. "What do you mean?"
"I meant, aren't you going to go and tell Potty and Weasel what you heard?"
"Oh, right. I'll see you later."
Hermione sped through the halls and entered the Gryffindor common room. She muttered the counter spell on the stairs that prevented girls from entering the boy's dorm.
"Harry, Ron wake up. I have to tell you something," Whispered Hermione.
Harry woke up immediately, but Ron continued to sleep and muttered. "Mum, five more minutes."
Hermione was losing his patience. She pushed Ron out of bed and apologized to the now ranting Ron. She told them to wait for her in the common room.
Once she reached Ginny's room, she brought her downstairs to where the two boys were sitting. She quickly explained to them what she had learned and braced herself for their reactions.
Ginny blushed. "You mean me and Harry get married in the future?"
"Yes," Said Hermione nodding.
Harry eyed Ginny nervously waiting for her reaction. Ginny shook her head. "I don't think that's possible I don't think of Harry as more then a friend anymore."
Hermione saw the downcast look that Harry had. She broke the silence by saying. "I think we should go to bed, this has been a long night."
Harry and Ginny left to go back to bed, leaving Ron alone with Hermione. "Mione, did you by any chance hear who I might be married to?"
Hermione frowned. "No, but I thought that the Mark's father might be you because you're the only person they didn't mention."
"Does that mean that they mentioned you Mione?" Ron asked, his curiosity piqued.
Hermoine pretended to not hear the question. "I'm heading back to my room. Talk to you tomorrow." She ran away quickly, leaving a very confused Ron.
