Me: please speak to me!
Shawn: currently not speaking to me.
Me: you can't not talk to me forever!
Shawn: that made no sense… oh crap!
Me: told you so! Nener, nener, nener!!
Shawn: I hate you.
Me: I know!
Well I hate Shawn he hates me. He will not talk to me! Me of all people! I think he's avoiding me too… oh well at least he's ridding the bus tomorrow! -Does funny dance and sees people staring- what? Oh… I see I'm too hot for you! Oh yeah! Sizzle.
Recap----
"Oh… that. Yes well I will tell them when I think they can handle it."
"Oh come on mye! I can handle it!" whined Ron while letting pansy sit on his lap.
"Ok well… me and Draco, Draco and I, have… been… going out …for a while…" she stopped, waiting for the uproar of her friends but none came.
"Well congrats Hermione, I guess." Said Harry.
"I wondered when you two would finally get together!" breathed Ron. Hermione was shocked. Harry potter, the boy who got so freakin' lucky to have survived, and Ronald weasley, the guy who would never shut up sometimes, were actually happy for her and her enemy to be dating.
The world needs to be admitted to st. mungo's, it really does.

Chapter 5
The next day Hermione rushed down to breakfast. She was running late and had to hurry or she would also be late to the first class of the day, defense against the dark arts. She entered the great hall and sat down next to Ron and… pansy? What is she doing at the gryffindor table? She asked herself as she sat down pansy looked extremely tired and yet really happy and acted sort of dreamy. She was rapped in Ron arms, resting her head on his shoulder. Harry was again no where in sight.
"Hey Ron?" she asked.
"Yeah?"
"Do you know what Harry's been up to? And come to think of it Ginny hasn't been here ether."
"Harry just asked my permission if they could date a while ago… I think it was Saturday…"
"Oh well you don't think they would be…"
"NO!" shouted Ron abruptly, " I WILL NOT HAVE THOSE IMAGES OF MY SISTER AND BEST…"
"Ron!" hissed Hermione before he could go on, "nether do I!" pansy giggled.
"Like they could top us Ronny pooh!" she said dreamily. Hermione shuddered.
"I should have known why she looked tired…" she mumbled under her breath.
"What was that?" asked pansy.
"Oh nothing… just please leave me out of your… um… certain conversations." She said and pansy burst into giggles.
"Oh silly!" she said, "Draco wont wait long you know!"
"What do you mean?"
"Has he taken you to the pond?"
"Yes."
"Well if that didn't work, look for a nice romantic dinner in the room of requirements."
"But he told me he wouldn't try to get fresh with me… and I believed him. I'm such an idiot!"
"He promised huh… well, good for him. I think he really likes you Hermione. Every girl he…well… any way, he never promised. They would give him what he wanted and they would be done. If he promises something, believe it! He doesn't back down from a promise."
"Really… maybe I should do something for him… just this once…"
"Don't!"
"Why?"
"He will feel power over you. If that happens… no telling what he could do with that power."
"Oh ok then."

Hermione was sitting at her usual spot in dada class waiting for Madam Rose to come and join the class. A few minutes passed and she still hadn't shown up. Hermione rose from her seat and was headed for the door to see where her teacher was. The door opened and Thorn and Hagrid walked in. Hermione sat back down.
"Good morning class! Sorry I was late just helping Hagrid here with the thestras." She said smiling. Hermione didn't see anything but apparently every one else could.
"Wow! That an amazing horse!" said one student.
"It's so beautiful!" screeched parvati.
"I love its main!" cried lavender.
"Can ever one see it?!" asked Thorn over the students cries.
"I cant!" said Hermione.
"Nether can I!" whined pansy. Crabbe and Goyle grunted, apparently they couldn't see the thestra either.
"Well that's quit all right!" she said," but I'm amazed that so many of you can!"
"What do you mean?" asked Harry.
"Well much like a thestral you have to see something die. But a thestral you have to see a human die. Thestras require an animal or human… or well… anything for that matter. Do you mind my asking what you all saw die?"
"Well… we watched mad eye imposter moody kill a spider…" said Ron shuddering at the thought of the spider.
"Ah, yes. I should have known, but why can't you four see it?"
"I couldn't watch…" said Hermione some what ashamed.
"I was painting my finger nails." Stated pansy. Crabbe and Goyle just grunted again.
"Oh, ok then… well here I'll help. you must all see it so will you four please fallow me."
She walked over to a cage that contained a small rabbit. She removed her left glove revealing a small light violet crescent moon on the back of her hand. She placed her hand on the rabbit's head. It squealed and began to shake furiously. The tips of its ears and its snout began to blacken and flake away. That continued until there was nothing left of the rabbit but ash. Hermione gulped.
"That was awful!" cried pansy. Madam Rose nodded.
"Yes… that's why I must wear gloves. Other wise I could just bring you back with the other hand, but I can't bring back ash." Hermione turned away to face Harry and Ron and that was when she saw it. The thestra was a beautiful white winged horse. It had a golden main and tail and the tips of its wings and its hooves were also golden. Hermione couldn't help but smile.
"It's so… beautiful." She breathed. Draco walked up behind her and held her shoulders.
"Isn't it though? I think it's amazing that an animal so beautiful can be so horrible." He said as he felt her melt at his touch.
"What do you…" she was cut off when Madam Rose addressed the class once more.
"Now class I know that you're all wondering why I'm showing you this creature. Well, this animal is a very useful battle weapon." She walked up to the thestra and patted its neck before she climbed on.
"Now all you have to do once you're on, is say pugna telum. That's Latin for battle weapon. It's pretty straightforward." She said. She said pugna telum once more without anything in between and the horse began to transform. It's golden eyes turned black, it's wings became razors and spikes formed around the hooves. Body armor began to plate its self around the head and torso. On the forehead was a large horn that was so sharp that if you just barely touched it, it would draw blood. It was almost like a walking metal suit. Hermione gasped.
"Now I know what you meant." She whispered to Draco. He squeezed her shoulders and then headed to the front of the crowd to get a better look at the thestra.
Class ended twenty minutes later and Harry Ron and hermione headed down to potions class. When they entered, Snape was righting down complex potion ingredients. He had his hair pulled black in a ponytail (one that guys wear!) and was wearing gray robes instead of black. He smiled as the class was seated.
"We will have partners this week as well but I have not changed them. You will remain with the partners I assigned you at the beginning of year, for the remainder of the year. Please join you partners and begin the potion on the board. I also expect an essay on the effects of the potion and why it turns your hair purple."
Class ended early and Hermione had rushed back to the dorm to begin her homework. She had now idea that they so much until the end of the day after ancient ruins. She flung her bag on the table and began her work. Three hours and 40,678 words later she was done with potions, transfiguration and charms. She was just starting her ancient ruins essay when she heard the door swing open and then shut again. She figured it was Draco, so thought nothing of it until everything went black…
Draco's pov-----
He was walking down the hallway, back to his dorm. As he turned the corner he caught a fresh glimpse bright blonde hair before the door swung shut behind it. He ran up and tried to get in but the lady in the portrait was gone. He heard Hermione scream inside and evil laughter, before darkness took him over as well.
