Chapter 3 "Truth unveiled"
"Of course I wouldn't rape you. You're a filthy stinking mudblood for god sakes," laughed Draco rudely.
Just then they heard evil laughter echo through the alley. Their blood froze. Hovering there was a dementor, and standing next to it was a Death Eater. Not just any Death Eather. It was Lucius Malfoy.
Fear swept through Hermione like a wave of shock. She let out a scream.
"F-father?" asked Draco, dumfounded.
"WRONG," laughed the Lucius imposter. "It's me you dummies! Just making sure you two aren't doing anything bad."
The 'Death Eater' took off his mask and grinned.
"BLAISE? You freak," yelled Draco.
"Why, were you two little babies scared? Oooooh, oooh, my dad is sooooo scary! Waaaaaaa," said Blaise mockingly, by now on the floor laughing his lungs out.
"You guys should have seen your faces," he said with glee. He had been laughing so hard that his eyes were tearing.
"If you're Blaise, who's the dementor?" asked Hermione.
The 'dementor' was rolling on the floor with laughter.
"Just me," said Pansy with a pathetic snort.
"Come on, just a little practical joke," shrugged Blaise.
The four of them walked out of the alley. Hermione, feeling stupid that she was the only Gryffindor with them quickly said goodbye.
"Well, gotta go. You scared the crap out of me Blaise!" she said, rounding a corner and walking down the path. She reached the secret tunnel (found on the Marauder's Map) and climbed in. She arrived in Hogwarts in about 30 minutes.
Hermione was sitting in the Common Room the next day, feeling desperately lonely again. She thought of finding Andy. He must be somewhere around here she thought. She looked in the library, the silent corridors, and all around. He was nowhere! She rubbed her tired legs.
"Mione," said someone behind her, "Hi!" She turned to see Harry and Ron.
"Hope you had fun yesterday," she said expressionlessly.
"Yeah definitely! Sorry if we left you alone. We told you that you could come though!" said Ron.
"I know, but I didn't want to go to that party. Remember, it was GUYS ONLY!" said Hermione annoyed.
"Sorry! Did you have fun?"
"Oh, very," said Hermione sarcastically.
"What about yesterday?" asked Harry.
Hermione didn't say anything. Taking her cue, Harry quickly changed the subject.
"Did you hear we have to go to the Great Hall? We're due in – oh dear! It starts now! Come on!" he said, his green eyes shining. He jumped into a run.
"Dumbledore want to make an announcement," said Ron to Hermione, puffing heavily as he tried to catch up.
"No one, phew, told me - but let's Harry. I mean hurry," said Hermione.
When they came in, they collapsed onto a table. Dumbledore appeared right then.
"Hello students. I am pleased to inform your upcoming field trip for Skill Tests to be held at the Dark Mansion."
The students gasped and everyone began to murmur.
"Of course" said Hermione "the skill tests for 6th and 7th years! Each held seperately at different places every year. So this year we get the Dark Mansion! OH! The Dark Mansion???" she whispered to herself.
"How do you know all that?" asked Harry and Ron together.
"Hogwarts: a History" said Hermione matter-of-factly.
Many turned and terrified told their neighbours all about it that they knew.
It was a very large mansion, on the Deserted Vale, centered on the highest peak.The weather there was said to be foggy, rainy, dark, and gloomy all year. It was also very dangerous because of werewolves, dementors, and demons that were rumoured to have been there. Of course, many students began to tell the others of brave and bloody efforts from former students to keep those creatures back as they raged into their rooms in the middle of the night. Some claimed vampires sucked your blood when you were asleep. Others said mummies would chain you up for three days in their hidden prisons.
"That's not true!" said Hermione, sounding indignant.
"We will be staying for three days, during which you will be paired up in three's. We will be having a series of Skill Tests that are dangerous and require all you know, including spells, charms, curses, and common sense,"said Dumbledore, and catching the look on Neville's face added, "So far there have been no casualties, so no need to worry."
Neville squealed and fainted onto Parvati, who looked very red.
"Get him off my – "she shrieked.
Two Gyriffindor guys hoisted him off with great difficult as for some reason he clung tightly to her. Some swore he hadn't really fainted.
"No, I'm sure he fainted," said Hermione.
"Or that's what he want us to think," said John Kemundy, giggling and making choking noises.
"You guys are so immature! Come on, we're in sixth year now. We should act more our age," said Lavender, silencing them.
"My point exactly," said Blaise from the Slytherin table, smiling at her for a fraction of a second.
Lavender looked away hurriedly and pretended nothing happened. Her ears were red though.
"The groups are posted on the board outside the hall. Thank you for listening, that is all," smiled Dumbledore.
Rustling and shouting followed as everyone pushed their way to see who they would have to share a room with for three days. Hermione made her way to the board. Someone collided with her and someone stepped on her foot.
The board read:
GROUP 1
(a) Parvati Patil Gryffindor
(b) Vincent Crabbe Slytherin
(c) Robert Amulster Hufflepuff
Hermione scrolled down to her group.
GROUP 13
(a) Hermione Granger Gryffindor
(b) Draco Malfoy Slytherin
(c) Andrew Lestrane Gryffindor.
Hermione gasped. She was paired with that unbarable Malfoy?
But wait- Andrew is in my group! thought Hermione with bounding joy. She skipped to the Gryffindor Common Room. She saw Ernie MacMillan sitting slouched comfortably in a leather chair.
Wow, Ernie looks really good right now said Hermione to herself.
"Hello, Hermione" he said, looking at her chests. It made Hermione feel very uncomfortable.
He kept watching it, so Hermione, fed up, said, "Hey Ernie? Yeah, my face is up here and not there."
Ernie looked angry. Hermione suddenly feared what he would do to her. Then she remembered that look from someone else, before – and unbelievable fear swept through her. She cowerd back.
"D-don't give me that look," she said, her skin starting to get clammy. She felt nauseous. A voice inside her head told her to run for it.
Ernie raised an eyebrow. "You ok?" he asked. Hermione was certainly acting strange.
"I'm fine, fine. J-just leave me," she said, retreating up the staircase to the girl's dormitory.
There she flopped on top of her neatly made bed. She heaved a large sigh. Turning her head she saw Ginny Weasley who was deep in a novel.
Noticing Hermione was there she said, "Hey Herms! Who you paired with?"
Going into a whisper she went on, "I heard about your field trip from Ron, but he said it's a strict secret. He told me its only for the 6th years and no one else can know," said Ginny, jumping on her bed across from Hermione's. She had her feet at her pillow and her head at the end of the bed so that she could easily talk to Hermione.
"Yeah. I'm with Draco Malfoy," she said in a low, dishearted tone. Ginny let out a gasp.
"and- Andrew Lenstrane."
She had only remembered right then, and cheered up.
"He is so the cutest guy. You know me and Harry and Ron went to Hogsmeade? I met him in the Three Broomsticks there, and he was totally checking me out," said Hermione.
Hearing this, Parvati (also happening to be in the dormitory, reading Witch's Glamour) looked up and tuned in.
"Rating...?" asked Ginny eagerly.
"On a scale of 1 to 10," said Parvati.
"Oh, definitely an 11!" said Hermione.
She began to daydream about him. On their field trip she would hang out with him, laugh at his pathetic jokes, kiss him, and – the best part. Sleeping next to him for 3 nights. She wondered if she would stay a virigin or not. She realized how big a deal it was. Most girls lost their virginity in 6th year. Hermione thought about. But she dismissed the idea by thinking more of Andy- his cute face and his sexy complexion.
"This is too perfect," said Hermione, stunning Ginny with her diva voice. Unwillingly she had spoken a flawless American accent. Hermione grinned, staring at the ceiling.
"Sometimes I'm surprised you were born from British parent and not American ones," said Ginny.
"Ugh! You mean to say I'm not British enough?" Hermione asked fiercely.
"No, no! Of course not. You're just really good being both," said Ginny.
Hermione daydreamed a few more minutes, but all was silent in the dormitory.
Harry and Ron came in the Common Room.
"Hey Hermione?!" Harry called.
Hermione sprang off the bed and ran down.
"We're going to play Quidditch. Wanna come?"
Hermione looked outside through the window in the Common Room. The sky was dark blue, though it was only midday (it was Saturday so they didn't have school). It was raining and it was foggy. But it looked so inviting to get out and just play.
"Sure, I'll come, but I don't have a broom! By the way, did you get that idea approved by a teacher?"
"Yes, don't worry! We got permission from Professor Dumbledore," said Harry happily.
As they were talking they walked out of the Common Room. Malfoy came by and gave them a dirty look. He was dressed in a black cloak which brought out his muscular biceps. Hermione noticed he was carrying something long in a maroon velvet bag.
"There's still time to buy a broom in Hogsmeade," whispered Draco in her ear as he passed. Hermione looked at him with a smile. So typical him to say that.
Harry and Ron looked at each other bewildered. Draco swept past them.
Hermione dashed for it and caught up with him.
"I am. You want to come?" she asked flirtateously.
Draco looked at her strangely, as if trying to figure out what the hell was wrong with her. Suddenly something hit Draco. He remembered her smiling when she was at the board. And he was in her group!
How could they do that? thought Draco angrily. How come they put girls and guys together for the groups?
"So, you coming?"
Draco looked over her. Her soft, dark blonde curls fell over her face. Her deep strawberry lips smiled back at him. Her slim form had developed curves that really caught his eye. He felt something raise up.
"No."
"Ok, fine. Then I'll go with umm- Ernie," she said, flipping her shiny hair provocatively. She was hoping to get a jealous response, but he just ignored her. Inside she felt like crying. She didn't want to go with that perve Ernie. Draco noticed her expression change.
"Go find Ernie," he said smiling sarcastically.
So he really did hate her!
"I will," she said fiercely.
"I'm right here," said Ernie behind her, not even realizing that he was drooling ever since she flipped her hair.
Draco found that very funny, but inwardly he felt kind of worried with her going off with him. Hermione, however, looked utterly grossed out. She gave Draco a last pleading look. He just ignored her.
That jerk of a Slytherin! Probably contemplating right now how to kill me along with the rest of the mudbloods! Ernie is a total freak, and I don't want to be around him after what happened in the Common Room.
But she had no choice. She couldn't back down now after telling Draco.
"Come on then Hermione," said Ernie, setting off at a fast pace.
Hermione followed. They got in the tunnel. Its rocky sides pushed Hermione hard as she fell in.
"Aah! That hurt!" she said.
Ernie looked at her lustfully. "Are you okay?" he asked as he stroked her breasts.
Hermione felt her heart pace quicken. He began to kiss her, letting his tongue lick her lips first out then inside her mouth. Hermione was so surprised she didn't know what to do. He licked her neck down her chest as he shakily unbuttoned her shirt. Hermione groaned and felt something get wet down there.
"Eerr, Ernie? We should hurry to get there. It takes at least 20 minutes and that's if you run," said Hermione as he was licking.
She felt her nipples harden. He bit them passionatly, sending shivers all down Hermione.
"Not until we finish this," he said.
"No, no. If we hurry we'll have a lot of time on the way back," she said desperately.
"Ok, but then we come back here and finish this off. You're not going to stay a virgin for long," he said, giving way to her argument.
"How did you know I was a virgin?" she asked, confused.
"Andy told us."
Andy wouldn't say something like that! Anyway how would Andy know? she thought to herself.
"Are you sure about that? I mean we could do it later in a bedroom or someplace it doesn't have to b-be so soon."
"You know you want it today. You like this feeling. You want me, I know you do. You know you want me to fuck you."
Hermione gulped.
Finally, after a long time of trudging, they reached Hogsmeade. She rushed in to the Quidditch shop. At first she tried to lose him in the crowd but found he was stuck to her like glue. She dashed into the shop. She had been wanting a broom for a long time and looked at the selections carefully. She found the best and the newest one. The Lightning Bolt. Hermione payed with her carefully saved gold galleons and brought it out of the store with a new black case she had got with it.
Ernie, as always, was tagging along. They slipped into the tunnel and Hermione dragged her broom and case for about 15 minutes when he stopped. Ernie turned around and grinned.
"Lets finish off what we were going to," he said.
Hermione wished she were dead. He stepped toward her and took off her shirt, bra, robe, and finally underwear. He took off his pants. He was going to enter her. She gasped. This was it.
Nice long chapter! Find out if Hermione stays a virgin in next one!
Hope yalz liked it!
