DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!! {hehehe I wish!}

A/N: Wow so sorry it didn't come out till now, more at the bottom. Sorry bout the shortness! On with the story:

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Hermione rushed through the hallway anxiously by Tara to the great hall. She sat down by Harry, Ron, Dawn, and Ginny at the Gryffindor Table, with a smile that couldn't be stolen off her face. Tara walked up to the staff table.
"Hermione, what's going on? I haven't seen you smile this big since exams last year!" Ginny grinned. They all started laughing at that.


"Can't a girl be happy?" Hermione asked when they stopped but still smiling.


"Well, yeah, but what is making you happy?" Ginny asked again. Just then Draco walked through the door. He went to the Slytherin table and sat at the end all alone. He looked a Hermione. Hermione waved almost discreetly.


"OH MY GOD!!!" Ginny screeched. Everyone in the great hall looked at her. "Sorry." She muttered.


"Ginny why did you scream like that?" Dawn asked confused. "Did I miss something?"


"I know why Hermione is so happy!" Ginny leaned in next to Hermione and whispered, "You're engaged."


Hermione looked down at her hand and saw the ring on her finger. She discreetly slipped it off and put it into her pocket. She forgot to take it off before coming out of the common room.


"Ginny, you can't tell anyone!" Hermione whispered in her ear desperately.


"Fine! Ruin my fun!" Ginny whispered back.


"So, why is Hermione so happy?" Ron asked looking impatient.


"Oh, I just started studying for the NEWTS and it's going good." Hermione said a little tense. Harry noticed, but Ron didn't.


"That's our Hermione!" Ron said. They all laughed.


"Hey Dawn?" Hermione asked.


"Yeah?"

"Do you think your sister is ever going to let us use the weapons she showed us in the beginning?" Hermione asked.

"Ask her yourself during class, I don't even pay attention that much anymore. I know all of the stuff she teaches." Dawn answered sweetly.

"Wow! How do you know?" Hermione asked.

"Hello Miss Granger. Could you bring everyone who you think is important for a meeting in my common room? Willow will bring you up." Buffy interrupted. Dawn was glad for this, she wasn't aloud to tell people about her being the slayer.

"Alright." Hermione answered. Buffy left the room. Hermione looked around. "Okay, Dawn, Ginny, Harry, and Ron, you guys get to come with me when willow comes." She looked very calm when she said this.

"Hermione, what the bloody hell is going on???" Ron almost screamed.

"I can't tell you here. That is why we are going somewhere private. I wonder what teachers are going to be there!" Hermione said looking at the staff table. She was hoping Severus would.

"Maybe McGonnagal. We know on thing, it's not Snape." Harry said. Just then willow walked up to Hermione.

"Ready to go?" she asked.

"Yep!" Hermione answered.

The 5 of them stood up and followed willow out of the great hall. They went down towards the dungeons. They followed willow to a corridor none of them knew was there. They went up a staircase. It started moving.

When it stopped they walked down a hallway. There were pictures of all different people lining the walls. Willow stopped at a statue of a dragon. She muttered a password that sounded like 'Hellmouth'. The dragon sprang to life and jumped up. It moved out of the way and a circular staircase came down. It looked just like how the stair's on the way up to Dumbledore's office was set up. They all went up the stairs and found a double door. Willow knocked three times. They all waited quietly wondering what was happening. There were two knocks coming from the inside. Willow knocked twice. The door opened. They all walked into the common room. Inside Hermione saw Severus, Professor Dumbledore, Xander, Anya, Tara, Professor Giles, Professor Summers, and Professor Spike.

"Okay, can I ask why the bloody hell I am here?" Ron asked.

"Language Mr. Weasley!" Severus sneered.

"Alright, I'm just going to get straight to the point." Dumbledore started. "Lemon drop anyone?" he asked pulling a bag of the muggle candy out.

"Albus what happened to getting straight to the point?" Severus asked, getting a little annoyed.

"I'll have one" Hermione smiled at Dumbledore's offer.

"Hermione! You supposed to be helping me!" Severus whined.

"Severus! I want one!" Hermione replied in the same voice he used. If Harry, Ron, Ginny, and Dawn looked surprised when "the greasy git" whined, they were petrified now. Dumbledore just chuckled. He handed Hermione a lemon drop and she popped it into her mouth.

"Hermione what's going on? Why did u call Snape by his first name?" Harry asked since Ron was speechless.

"That's simple, he's my godfather." Hermione answered like it was the most obvious thing in the world. Ron just fainted.

"Enervate." Dumbledore pointed his wand at Ron. "Alright, lets start at the beginning. Hermione first off is far from being muggle born. Her father was best friends with Severus here. They were Slytherin's. Hermione's mother was in Gryffindor. Severus and John, Hermione's father, became death eaters. They realized it was a bad choice once they saw what they had to do. They came to me and became spies. John married Helen, Hermione's mother. Helen got pregnant. A couple of days later Voldemort found john was a spy, but didn't find out about Severus. They changed their names and what they look like. They moved into the muggle world. Voldemort never found out about Hermione here though." Dumbledore ended.

"Alright, so is the reason why we're here because he found out about Hermione or something?" Ginny asked.

"Well, no. We, Albus and I, found a prophecy. It tells us how we can defeat luscious Malfoy. The only thing is, we have to wait until august until we can defeat him." Severus told all of them. Only he, Albus, Draco, Hermione, Willow, and Tara knew.

"Bloody hell! That's 8 mounts away!" spike retorted.

"Yes, it was 9 mounts when we found out about the prophecy. They prophesy stated in lengthier terms, that Draco and Hermione here need to produce an heir." Dumbledore took a breath. Buffy interrupted him before he could speak again.

"How could an infant defeat Lucious Malfoy?" she asked.

"Yes, I mean Harry here could do that special thing with Voldy-whats-it, but he didn't kill him, Harry just made him go away for 14 years." Xander spoke up.

"That's where we come in Xander." Willow faced him.

"We?" Xander asked in a tiny squeaky voice.

"Yes we. I will not go into detail, but you will be there when I transfer some of my powers to Hermione and Draco's child. Then the next day the child will be my age. We together will be able to defeat Lucious." Willow explained in a fearful voice.

"Ummm… first, what child? And second, shouldn't we think about killing Voldemort and not Lucious Malfoy?" Harry practically screamed.

"To answer your first question, I'm pregnant. Second, Lucious Malfoy is after Draco and i. Also if um… Voldemort dies, Lucious will ah… try to bring him back." Hermione answered. She made up the last parts because no one could know about Harry killing Voldemort, or it might not happen. Everyone except her, Severus, Professor Dumbledore, and Draco knew of course. Harry seemed satisfied. Ron, who now was most definitely awake, looked like he was about to blow.

"Ron, are you alright?" Hermione asked him concerned about what would be wrong.

"WHAT'S WRONG? HOW CAN YOU ASK THAT?!?!? YOU ARE PREGNANT AND YOU'RE STILL IN SCHOOL AND NOT EVEN MARRIED!" Ron exploded.

"Well ummm actually, the baby won't come until august, and the second thing…" Hermione looked up at Draco. He nodded. Everyone looked confused except Ginny. Hermione pulled out the ring out of her pocket where she put it earlier. Everyone gasped and Ron looked like he was going to faint again.

"We're engaged so we can get married before I go into labor." Hermione answered. Dumbledore's eyes twinkled and he smiled. Severus looked furious, but happy that Hermione was happy. Spike couldn't stop grinning knowing he was going to be related to this smart witch.

"Well back to the prophecy. We need to find a book. It's called 'Death to the Worst' and the author is Newt Salamander." Dumbledore ended. "Okay, classes are going to start soon. So meet back here tonight so we can start working on finding the book."

They all stood up and started to walk out of the room. One by one they passed the moved statue of the dragon. Willow led Hermione and Tara led Draco to their next classes. Luckily they both had defense against the dark arts. Professor Summers, Professor Spike, and Professor Giles led them there, so they would get there first. They waited awhile for everyone else to fill in.

"Alright today we are going to learn about a processing demon. It is called Eyghon. About 30 years ago, a group of teenagers got the tattoos. They thought it was fun; never thinking it could kill people. Well they found out how dangerous it was. What they did was put someone in a deep sleep. Eyghon could only possess someone if they are unconscious or dead. Well Eyghon processed the person in the deep sleep one night, it controlled the person, the group of teens tried to exorcise it to control the demon, but it didn't work, the teens had to kill the friend. They did a spell to banish the demon. I was part of this group, and I realized the mistake. I left England. I went to America where I fought demons and mystical forces. Well while I was there I found miss summers here, we became friends and fought together. One of my old pals came to where we were, Eyghon was let loose again. It controlled one person and killed one of my old friends that was trying to warn me. Well Eyghon controlled him and tried to kill me. While this was happening, another so-called friend took miss summers and tied her up. He put the tattoo on her without her wanting him too. He took his mark off, so the demon would kill her and not him. Well I found her just in time.

A vampire, with a soul, strangled the person who was unconscious with Eyghon, with a soul. The vampire fought evil since he has a soul. Well Eyghon saw how he was technically dead, so the demon jumped from our friend's body to the vampire. Well this vampire knows how to fight off demons inside of him. So he thrust the demon out of him. Therefore Eyghon went without a host body, so he disintegrated into nothing and died." Professor Giles said. Everyone was in awe. Giles continued with describing how bad it was for Eyghon to control ones body and other things that happened to him.

"Yes Miss Patil?" Professor Giles saw she had her hand up.

"Well, you said that the teens got the tattoo onto their shoulder, do u still have yours?" She asked, very curious as to what it looked like.

"Yes, but only so I can recognize it, I do not worship any demons or call to demons any more. Here this is what it looks like." He rolled up his shirt sleeve so everyone could see the tattoo {sorry, it never really described what it looked like in the website that gave me this info, so if someone could tell me in a review, I can put it in here!}.

Now it was Professor Summers and Professor Spike's turn to teach the physical part of Defense against the dark arts class.

"Alright, today we are going to learn how to use a sword. First Spi-Proffesor Spike and I are going to demonstrate. We did this in the beginning of the year but now we are going to show you while telling you what we are doing." Professor Summers said. After they demonstrated, the rest of the time everyone got paired up and one at a time they practiced, since there were only 2 swords. At the end of the lesson everyone was so excited for the next lesson.

"Hermione can I talk to you?" Harry asked once they were in the Gryffindor common room.

"Sure, what's up?" Hermione asked once they got to a suluded area in the room.

"I know where I've seen Dawn before." Harry told her seriously.

"Well where? I mean how because she used to live in America!" Hermione asked.

"I saw a picture of her in a book. A book about mystical powers and hell gods and monks. Why don't you read it, it's not that long. I read it in first year when we were researching about Nicolas Flamel, which is why it took me so long to find where I heard and saw her. Here's the book, it will take you an hour to read knowing you." Harry handed her a book.

Hermione took the book and sat down on the couch next to Ron.

"Hey Ron!" Hermione said. "RON!"

"I'm not talking to anyone because if I were I would be talking to the enemy's girlfriend.

"Aren't you ever going to talk to me???" Hermione begged in the common room while most of the Gryffindors already up in bed.

"Harry. Do you hear something? The wind possibly? Maybe i should go down to Madame Pomphrey's, lately I'm hearing a lot of things I shouldn't be." Ron crossed his arms stubbornly across his chest.

"This is RIDICULOUS Ronald! Harry make him say something!" Hermione fumed at the black haired boy sitting in the chair in the corner pretending to be very interested in his Potions essay.

"No. You both are ridiculous. And I am sick of being in the middle. This is IT! You two are going to stay down here and talk until everything is sorted out." Harry rose angrily, pulled out his wand and muttered a spell that made a wall around the couch area in the common room.

"Harry. We mustn't be doing spells, especially ones like that outside of classes...we would be thrown out if..." Hermione rambled on.

"From right now, being expelled looks NICE. At least I wouldn't have to deal with all this. One of the most powerful dangerous wizards ever to exist is trying to murder me and my best mates are too busy fighting to help at all, the spell should wear off once everything's resolved..." He stormed out.

"This is great. I need my sleep...I've got someone I'm seeing in 32 minutes and this spell won't work off until who knows when!" Hermione groaned.

"Don't see why YOUR upset. It's all your fault Hermione." Glared Ron.

"Everything is ALWAYS my fault isn't it Ron? I'm just a mousy book worm nothing anything better than someone to copy assignments off of. That's all I am to you!" Hermione replied back scathingly.

"Well maybe if you STOPPED hanging AROUND that Slytherin so much WE would be SOMETHING MORE!"

"I thought you were ok with Draco and I ...you said it before so why are you bringing things up that AREN'T going to change?"

" 'Mione..."Ron looked up from his shoes. "Why did you sleep with him? Why do you like someone who thinks your nothing but some hot mudblood?"

"Is th--"Hermione started to contradict him.

"Why him. When I will never not love you?"

"I DONT UNDERDSTAND WHY YOU ALWA----"Hermione started. "What did you say?"

"Your not just someone to copy off of...I am not good with this 'telling my feelings' crap..." A blush crept up his cheeks and he whispered. "...I bloody love you Hermione." The walls surrounding them begun to fad.

"Um...i really...have to...go.... meet someone." And Hermione ran off into the Library, where she was supposed to meet Draco fifteen minutes earlier.
