Disclaimer: I am not the Infamous Rowling herself and if I was I wouldn't
be writing stuff like this I would be back at my fabulous home thinking of
ideas for the 6th book! Oh and the characters. not mine either. but I've
been writing to Rowling to borrow Draco for a tad (
Ps. (the stars indicate *Hermione's thoughts*)
Saturday morning Hermione awoke to the sound of stifled laughter coming from her left. She sleepily opened one eye and looked around. Lavender was sitting on the bed next to her with Parvati, and they were discussing Blaise Zabini, their recent crush as of yesterday. Hermione sighed and rolled over to check what time it was. *Eleven already?* She thought to herself. She sat up and attempted to rub the sleep from her eyes and grabbed her robe and clothes and changed.
Hermione proceeded to the bathroom to fix her hair and make-up, something she only did as of this year. As she walked out of the bathroom she immediately heard Parvati talking yet again. "Did you see what he was wearing yesterday?" "I swear he winked at me during Transfiguration!" "Well I get to be his partner for History of Magic." Parvati bragged.
Hermione rolled her eyes as she opened the top drawer on her night stand. Her hand shuffled beneath the mittens and hats she had sewn for the house elves, and her heart beat faster. Her fingers found what they were looking for and she relaxed as she pulled her hand out, fingers clasped around the object. Hermione carefully tucked it in the pocket of her robe and headed downstairs.
(+)(-)(+)Breakfast(-)(+)(-)
Ron and Harry had already found seats at the Gryffindor table and sat down to eat by the time Hermione woke up. "Sfo chow mooch timphh do ooo phink 'Mioknee wilf bee spenggind in fee librarky?" Ron asked while trying to chew a particularly hard piece of bacon. "What was that?" Harry asked, looking puzzled as he tried to put the words together. Ron swallowed and tried again. "So how much time do you think 'Mione will be spending in the library? After all she probably will have that History of Magic project done by the end of next week."
Harry sighed. "Well hopefully she won't forget about our plan to go to Hogsmeade tonight. We're going to sneak out with my dads' cloak and fly on my broom when everyone's asleep." He lowered his voice as he said the last part. Ron took an abnormally large piece of toast and tried eating the piece in one bite. "Welf phats good for oo." He stammered in between chewing.
~~
"Hermione," *I can always go back before I left,* "Hello?" *that way no one will be suspicious.* "Anyone in there?" *Perfect. Probably after dinner I should use the-* "HERMIONE!"
Hermione jumped as her eyes came into focus. Staring curiously at her were two chocolate brown eyes. "Oh hallo Ginny." She said as she sat up in the chair. "Well hello to you to! I've only been trying to get your attention for the past five minutes!" Hermione looked back into the Common Room fireplace and smiled wanly. "Sorry Gin, I've been a bit preoccupied."
"Well that much is obvious. So what are you thinking about? A certain green- eyed guy.." Hermione smiled and shook her head. "No more like little green- eyed elves. You know my hats and mittens have been disappearing but whenever I go down to the kitchen I never see any fewer house elves then there was the last time I went down. I was just wondering where the clothes all go."
Ginny tried to conceal a smile and looked away her eyes full of laughter as she remembered Harry saying something about Dobby, and his 'collection'. "Well you never know Herm. The house elves you're freeing could be cleaning elves and not cooking elves and.." Hermione dazed off again as Ginny finished her sentence and started talking about Ernie McMillan and how he, ".has been looking much better this year."
(+)(-)(+)Later on, during dinner(-)(+)(-)
"Hey 'Mione!" Ron and Harry said together as she entered the Great Hall. "Hi." Hermione replied as she sat down next to Harry. "You didn't forget about our date tonight did you?" Harry asked worriedly. "Hm? Oh no I haven't forgotten." She said as she grabbed her pumpkin juice. "So where were we going again?"
"To Hogsmeade remember? Around nine." Harry answered. "Oh yah I remember now. Well uh I better get going, lots to do." Hermione said as she looked around. "But you only just got here." Ron protested. "Well you know the sooner I uh, hit the books the sooner I can be done with my research for today. and the sooner I'm ready for tonight." Harry looked disappointed but tried to keep it out of his voice. "Alright, but you do know the project is due at the end of the year, not the end of the month right?"
"Very funny Harry. I just want to get all the information on paper before I start writing my thesis." Hermione said as she finished her pumpkin juice and got up. "Well see you at nine then." Harry said as Hermione walked away. "Has she been acting strange lately or am I just being paranoid?" "No, she has been acting weirdly. Just yesterday I saw her sitting in the Common Room just staring at her Arithmancy book and looking for answers to her homework!"
"Ron I'm serious. She seems more forgetful and side track. You should of seen her during potions, you know, the day you faked sick because of that essay. She was messing up on her potion. And I don't mean little accidents either." Harry said. "Well I wouldn't worry about it. She probably has been staying up too late thinking about how she can beat her score on tests last year, or calculating this year's score already. Pass the potatoes would you?"
~~
Hermione rushed to the hall and looked around. *Good no one out here. Especially that annoying bugger Malfoy.* She dug her hand into her pocket and pulled it out. She slipped it over her neck on the long familiar chain. "Fancy seeing you here." She spun around to face the one person she had been desperately avoiding all day. Hermione hurried to put the necklace underneath her robe. "You know one might get the notion your following me around." "Can't help myself can I? After all didn't you hear the part of my conversation yesterday where I called you a beautiful girl?" "Malfoy go find yourself someone else to bother because frankly it's getting old very fast." Hermione said aggravated. "Now what is that you're trying to hide?" Draco asked peering at where her hand was unconsciously held over where something dangled on the chain, hidden. "Nothing. Now if you don't mind I really need to be getting to the uh library." "Library's closed didn't you hear?" Draco said with a smirk. "Madame Pince had a rather alarming emergency regarding her room and a rather annoying Pixie that got free a few days ago." "Well then I guess it's off to the Common Room for me." Hermione said with a twinge of annoyance. "Why are you in such a hurry?" Draco asked eyeing where her hand was still placed. "Not into trouble I hope." Hermione took a step back. "Trouble? Now why would you think that I would get into trouble? Certainly not Malfoy I'm not anything like you, sneaking around and torturing third years."
Hermione cast her glance to the left and right of her. "Well you're certainly acting suspicious enough. Could it be because of this?" His hand made a grab for hers, pulling it away from what she was hiding. With lightening fast reflexes built up from Quidditch, he grabbed the necklace and took it from her. "Now what - is - this?" Draco said, his mouth slightly open. Hermione's eyes grew big as she tried to snatch it back, yet Draco held it away from her. "A time turner Hermione? And here you were saying you weren't in trouble. Well I highly doubt the truth of this statement after I get through with Professor Snape tonight." "Malfoy please don't tell anyone!" Hermione begged, trying to get a hold of his arm to pull his hand down. Draco pushed her away and put the time turner on. "Do you know what one could do with this?" He said greedily. Hermione's thoughts raced through her mind as she thought of a way to get out of this.
She ran towards him as he was eyeing the time turner and pushed him over causing him to ram his head against the stone wall. Draco slumped to the ground unconscious with Hermione lying on top of him. "Ugh gross." She muttered as she tried to get up. *Someone will have heard that.* Hermione thought as she hurried to get the time turner off his neck. *If they find me here with his body along with the time turner I mind as well pack my bags tonight.* She heard footsteps heading from the Great Hall down the corridor and realized her only option.
She put the necklace over her neck as well as Dracos' and turned it upside down, forgetting she had it set for only one date. Students' shadows danced against the wall, and slowly swirled as Hermione felt something pulling her into a deep chasm, Draco by her side.

Well not that much of a twist at the end, but hey maybe it's what you need to motivate you to review to get the next chapter out! Heres hoping! :o)
