Hermione sat at her window thinking. It had been a week since her and Harry broke up and she was starting to get over the break up; she could deal with it a little bit more than she could before. She cried for hours at night, mostly using Draco's shoulder to cry on, and acted like she was ok during the day. Draco was the one who really knew what was going on behind Hermione's smiling face.
Hermione mastered the skill of acting so well that Bill even believed that she was OK. Snape, who had been nice to her the weekend after her and Harry broke up, started loading her up with more cleaning and grading to do. Technically Hermione really didn't need to be Snape's 'helper' anymore but Snape, being Snape, said that she lost and it was just 'too damn' bad. She didn't really mind though, the work kept her mind busy and she was grateful for that.
Draco walked into the common room that was in between the two bedrooms and he saw Hermione sitting on the window seat looking out the window in deep thought. He sighed and really couldn't think of anything to say to her. She was taking this hard, extremely hard and he couldn't make her see that it was for the best.
"Hermione," Draco said. He was standing a few feet behind her and didn't really want to bother her but he didn't want to just leave her there either.
"Draco, what's up?" Hermione asked as she turned around to look at him.
Her eyes well swollen and red and Draco's heart broke. He could never bear to see Hermione this sad and it hurt that he couldn't do anything. It was time to call in Fred and George.
"You OK? You're just staring out the window, what are you thinking about?" Draco asked kindly as he pulled her into a hug.
"Nothing," Hermione said, not convincing Draco, "alright, so I'm thinking about Harry for the millionth time. I want to get over it, I want to act like it never happened, but I can't. I'm pregnant with his child. Today is five weeks and I feel lonely. Am I really worth loving, Draco?"
"Hermione, of course you're worth loving. I love you," Draco said as he kissed her gently, "you know this. Harry doesn't seem to let your break up effect him, so don't let it effect you. Please, love, be yourself again."
Hermione nodded and relaxed into his arms. They stood there, him behind her, holding her in his arms, and looked out the window. Hermione jumped up when she saw a few owls carrying a big box and headed for their window. Hermione was extremely excited.
"Hermione, what in the world did you order?" Draco asked, startled as she let the owls in.
Hermione just smiled and bent down to open her box. Out walked a small puppy, an Akita to be exact. (A/N: Me and my family had an Akita, they are aggressive but very loyal dogs. I felt like Hermione needed someone loyal besides Draco. It was going to be a golden Lab Retriever.) The fur was pure white with patches of brown on her back. The puppy jumped into Hermione's lap and started licking her face. The puppy was already about three months old and she would start getting big, fast.
Draco looked in horror and started to back up. "Hermione, what IS that thing?"
"It's a dog, Drakey. Her name is Sphinx, isn't she cute?" Hermione asked, scratching the puppy behind the ears.
"Tink, I love you and all, but why the bloody hell did you get a puppy?" Draco asked as he gently pet Sphinx behind the ears.
"She's cute and adorable, Drake! Come on, don't you just love her already? I bet Snape will get a kick out of her," Hermione said slyly.
"Tink, what are you going to do to Snape?" Draco asked worriedly.
Hermione just smiled and got up, heading for the door she turned around called for Sphinx to follow her and retreated out of the Head common room. She conjured up a ball for Sphinx to play with and threw it down the hall and laughed at she watched Sphinx scramble to the ball and pounced on the ball once she got close enough to it. Hermione continued to laugh until she saw a wiry hand reach down and pick up the ball. She continued up the body and looked right into the face of none other than Severus Snape.
"A dog, Granger?" he snarled. Aw, but the dog's so cute. Snape had a soft spot for dogs, excluding Sirius.
"Yes, isn't she adorable? You know, Sevvy, I'll let you play with her," Hermione said brightly.
"Granger, I don't want to play with your bloody dog. Get the mutt out of my face!" he snapped back.
Sphinx ran to Hermione and curled herself around Hermione's legs. "Sev, you scared her!" Hermione scolded him, giving him a disapproving look.
"Granger, I don't care. What kind of dog is that?" Snape snapped back.
"An Akita, it's a Japanese fighting dog. Not to mention it's the only type of dog immune to all curses and hex's, including unforgiveable's; partly due to the fact that as the owner you take an oath with these dogs. They will protect their owner and in exchange the owner will take the curse or hex onto themselves. The curse or hex wouldn't be as extreme as it normally would have been but the owner does get the curse," Hermione answered him.
"Bloody hell, Granger, is there anything you don't know?" Snape snarled at her, smirking at her shocked face.
"Yeah, Sev, there is," she snapped back.
"What is that, Granger?" Snape snarled, getting into her face.
"What a were-wolf looks like playing with his chew toy," Hermione snapped back, smirking as Snape's face paled.
"Mudblood," he snarled and stalked away.
Hermione's face paled. She had never been called a Mudblood by a teacher and she couldn't believe Snape would even say that to her. As much as she didn't want to admit it, but it hurt her pretty bad; she came to respect him lately and she was only trying to get him to appreciate her. She didn't mean to say something about a were-wolf's chew toys, but he pissed her off. She was striving for him to accept her, and it just wasn't happening.
XXXXXXX
Snape stalked down the hallway furious. He had already taken off 100 house points from Hufflepuff, any house but Gryffindor; he wasn't shooting for pink hair today. The nerve of her, I can't believe she even said that to me. I'll be rid of her soon and I can't wait. You don't want her gone Snape. Shut up! Take her as your potion apprentice. I said, shut up! You know I'm right Snape. Bloody hell, I know you are. Now, go away and shut up!
Snape couldn't get over the conclusion he just made. He wanted Granger to stay. He actually wanted to teach her about potions, he wanted her to become a potion mistress. He wanted to kiss her too. What?! I don't want to kiss her, right? He asked himself.
He finally had to admit it, he was attracted to her. She was a beautiful young witch and he enjoyed the pranks she pulled. Even if they were embarrassing him, she was a very Gryffindor Slytherin. Even if he wanted her as an apprentice she wouldn't accept now, not after he called her a Mudblood. He sighed and pulled out a piece of parchment and grabbed his quill.
Miss Granger
I would like to apologize on my outburst today in the hallway. Don't even think of showing this letter to someone because they will not see what I'm writing. You might want someone to read it also, since that message you will need to know.
Professor Snape
Snape smirked, performed a spell over the letter and called for his owl to take the letter to Hermione.
XXXXXXX
Hermione was sitting outside with Sphinx. She was throwing the ball and watched as Sphinx ran after the ball, bringing it back after she got the ball. Hermione was sitting there laughing when she noticed a black owl swoop down and land on her shoulder. She took the letter the owl had tied to his leg and the owl then took off.
She opened the letter and smiled as she read it. It wasn't like Snape to apologize but she still had to smile, it was nice of him. She was still smiling when she noticed Draco, who had come and sat next to her on the grass.
"What's that, Hermione?" Draco asked.
"Read it," Hermione said, handing Draco the letter.
"Miss Granger, Detention 8 o'clock; the were-wolf comment was not needed. Professor Snape. Damn, Tink, what did you say?" Draco asked as he noticed Hermione smile.
"I was explaining to him what breed Sphinx was and that she was immune to all curses and hex's and he asked me if there was 'a bloody thing I didn't know' so I said yes. He asked what and I told him that I didn't know what a were-wolf playing with his chew toy looked like. He didn't seem too happy after that," Hermione said with a smile.
"'Mione, are you out to get cursed?" Draco asked, also smiling. "Well, I came to tell you that Bill wants you, he said to come to his classroom."
"Alright, thanks Drakey, bye," Hermione said giving Draco a quick kiss and jogging towards the school, Sphinx was running right beside her.
XXXXXXX
Hermione walked up to Bill's classroom faster than she thought. Sphinx was still walking with her and was now busy pouncing on any shadow that crossed their path. Hermione giggled when Sphinx pounced on her own shadow and couldn't quiet catch it, considering her shadow moved every time she did. Hermione was still laughing when Bill's door opened to reveal Bill.
Bill smiled at the scene in front of him. The most beautiful girl was standing in front of him and the cutest little dog was chasing its own shadow. "Bloody hell, Hermione, is that an Akita?" Bill asked.
"Sure is, Bill," Hermione said proudly, "meet Sphinx."
"Sphinx, I like the name. Did she come with the name or did you name her?" Bill asked curiously.
"She came with the name, why?" Hermione asked.
"Come inside and we'll talk some more," Bill said as he moved to the side to allow Hermione to walk in. Hermione sat on top of Bill's desk, Sphinx curled up in a ball at her feet, and he just smiled at her.
"Are you going to tell me why her name concerns you?" Hermione asked gently.
"Of course, love," he said, giving her a kiss quickly, "Sphinx is a structure in ancient Egypt. The Sphinx of Giza is a statue of a lion body and the head of a king. It is said to be the guardian of Egypt and has gone through many encounters with various people. The sphinx is said to have been the spirits of all the pharaohs of Egypt and come together to protect Egypt and its land. The spirit of the Sphinx is sent to certain people for certain reasons. The Sphinx usually goes by name of 'Sphinx' and usually appears in animal form. I believe your dog, Sphinx, is the spirits of The Sphinx of Giza.
"I don't know why they would be sent to you, they usually only protect those in the direct blood line of a pharaoh. Either you are in direct connection to a pharaoh or you're an exception. They are sent to protect their 'owner' for some reason unknown to the 'owner'. Each pharaoh will live in your dog and one will finally decide to be your guardian. At that time, and that time only, the pharaoh will come to you in your dreams and let you know that they are there.
"If you have a 'guardian' it is a sign of honor. You are the one honored to have this 'guardian' to watch over you. The 'guardian' usually has some kind of power to offer the 'owner'. The Sphinx is known for wisdom and strength," Bill finished as he looked at her.
She only stared at him in wonder. Sphinx had gotten up and was sitting at Hermione's feet. Hermione bent down and picked her up and placed her on the desk where she nuzzled her head into Hermione's lap and went to sleep. Hermione just scratched Sphinx behind the ears and turned her attention back to Bill.
"So, I have a guardian? Why would I need one?" Hermione asked, confused.
"Well, it seems that yes, you do have a guardian. I don't know why you would need one but than again things happen that we don't know why they happen. Time only can tell us," Bill said as he moved closer to Hermione to stand in between her legs.
Hermione only smiled at him as he brought his lips down to cover hers. He used one hand to cup the side of her face and his other hand wrapped around her waist and pulled her up against him. He licked her bottom lip, being rewarded with a moan, and her mouth opened and he slipped his tongue in.
Hermione slid her hands up his chest and rested her arms around his neck. Her hands became tangled in his hair as he started to kiss down her neck. She moaned and pushed herself closer to him, squashing their bodies together, and she wrapped her legs around his waist, earning a moan out of him.
Bill picked up his wand and muttered a spell. The door was slammed shut and quickly locked, along with a silencing spell on the room. He put his wand back on his desk and slid his hand under her shirt. When he heard her moan again he took the bottom of the shirt and slid it up and over her head. His shirt was soon taken off by Hermione and she started to kiss chest, smiling as he started to moan.
He wrapped his arms around the back of her and unclasped her bra and let it fall down her arms. His eyes got a glassy look as he looked at her chest. He bent down again and gently pulled her nipple into his mouth, using it to tease her body. She moaned again and pulled him even closer to her. He responded by gently lifting her up and pulled her skirt off.
Soon they were both cloth-less and Bill was sucking and nipping at her neck. "Hermione?" he asked her. She knew the meaning and she nodded her head yes. He smiled into her neck and quickly entered her. She gasped out loud and her breathing changed. They soon found a steady rhythm and were consumed by passion.
They were panting when they were finished and Hermione just smiled at Bill. "You wanted to see me?" she asked with a smirk.
He smiled shyly, "Well, did I need a reason to want to see my wonderful, beautiful girlfriend?"
"Course not, Billy," she smirked as he scowled at the name, he hated Billy, "but it's close to 6 and I'm hungry. Care to escort this exhausted lady to dinner?"
"Of course, sexy," Bill said, using a nickname he picked up from an American friend, "but, as much as I love seeing you with nothing on, I don't think I'd approve of everyone else seeing it also."
Hermione just smiled and got dressed. Once she was finished she noticed Bill was sitting on his desk silently watching her. She called for Sphinx and they left the room heading for the Great Hall.
XXXXXXX
Hermione entered the Great Hall and proceeded to the Slytherin table. She refused to sit at the Gryffindor table and chose to sit with Blaise and Draco during meals, since she spent most of her time lately with either one of them.
Draco smirked at Hermione's appearance, noticing her ruffled-up hair, her button up white shirt un-tucked, and her black skirt a little wrinkled. "Did you find out what Bill wanted?" he smirked as her faced reddened.
"Is it that noticeable?" She asked him as she sat down between Blaise and Draco.
"Well, not really," Blaise said as he piled mashed potatoes on his plate, "Except of course, we know you and the fact you're still swimming in the after glow."
"My gods!" Hermione screamed, getting everyone's attention in the Great Hall, only causing her to blush even more. "Um, sorry," she muttered, turning herself to her dinner that Blaise put on her plate.
Everyone shrugged and returned to dinner but that didn't help Hermione from feeling mortified. She was so wrapped up in her thoughts that she never saw the two shadow's fall over her, nor did she notice the hug she was about to be wrapped in.
Hermione squealed. "Fred! George! Why are you guys here?"
"We got a few owls about a depressed someone and decided to come check it out. You OK, 'Mione? We can kick his arse," Fred said as him and George climbed over the table, receiving disapproving looks from the head table, and sat in front of the three.
"I'm OK," Hermione said, finishing her dinner.
"We heard you got a dog," George said, receiving a bark from under the table, "well that was confirmed. Let's go outside."
"OK, race you to the oak tree by the lake," Hermione said and she got up and ran from the doors, the four men following behind her and Sphinx ran next to Hermione, earning a few strange looks from everyone else. Ron and Harry saw this and followed them out of the Great Hall. Bill soon followed and Ginny followed him. Dumbledore sat there with that annoying twinkle in his eyes; Snape was suspicious and followed the group outside.
XXXXXXX
Hermione beat them all to the oak tree and collapsed onto the grass in front of the tree, laughing as she saw the figures of four men jogging to catch up. Draco appeared first and dropped himself behind Hermione, leaning his back against the tree and pulling Hermione towards him to lean on his chest. George was next and he gracefully sat down and laid his head on Hermione's legs and looked up as he saw Fred and Blaise both dropping down to sit at the feet of Draco and Hermione.
"So, Hermione," Fred started, "would you like us to kick Harry's arse? George and I have been keeping up on our fighting skills."
Fred and George both made fists and bent their arms to show Hermione their muscles. Harry, who had just walked up to the group along with Ron, gulped and started to move back but only managed to run into Ron who grunted, catching the attention of the group of five sitting on the ground.
"Harry?" Hermione asked, weakly.
Fred and George just looked at each other, silently nodded, and got up off the ground to confront Harry. Ron, who had been watching Fred and George, silently made his way to sit down next to Draco. Harry's face paled and he was trying to form a sentence in his head.
"Hey, guys, what are you...doing here?" he managed to get out.
"We came to see who the bloody bastard was that broke our 'Mione's heart," George started.
"Then we figured we'd give him a little lesson on how to properly break up with his girlfriend instead of using his best mate's little sister to cheat on his girlfriend with. Now, do you know where we could find this asshole?" Fred said smirking as Harry's face paled even more.
"Um...uh...Hermione, could we talk?" Harry said as he tried to keep the tremor out of his voice.
"Fred! George! What are you guys doing here?" Bill asked as he walked up, knowing he was walking into a fight. He could feel the tension in the air and really didn't want to see Fred and George get banned from the school for beating up Harry. After all, it they were anywhere else Bill would of gladly let Fred and George beat him up, he was, after all, mad at Harry too.
"We wanted to pay our non-blood related sister a visit. What are you doing out here Billy boy?" Fred answered smirking as Bill scowled.
"Shut up, Fred. Don't call me Billy! God, and I'm here saving both of your arse's from being banned from this school for beating Potter up," Bill said as he noticed Harry's face pale again as he noticed that Bill wasn't protecting him, he was there to protect his brothers.
Hermione continued to sit on the ground not even bothering to look at the four men arguing at her feet. Draco had wrapped his arms around Hermione to help soothe her and rubbed small circles onto her arms to keep her calm. Fred and George were here and with Draco and Hermione already mad, they didn't need all four mad, that would be a big mistake, so Draco took it upon himself to calm at least one of them down.
Ron sat watching how Draco was comforting Hermione and smiled as he realized Draco wasn't as bad as Harry thought him to be. He was there for Hermione if Harry or he couldn't be and Draco would proudly stick up for Hermione anywhere. Sometimes he wondered if Draco and Hermione would end up getting married.
Blaise sat there wondering how one girl could cause so many people to go up against one man. He knew he would defend Hermione until the day he died but he didn't once think that practically the whole Weasley clan would go up against Harry for hurting her. He knew that there was some unknown bond between the twins and Hermione and Draco, but that was as much as he knew. He knew that Bill and Hermione were secretly seeing each other but he couldn't explain why Ron was clearly avoiding sticking up for his best mate.
Hermione really didn't want to get involved with this argument. It wasn't good for her or her baby and she really didn't feel like arguing with him in front of all these people. She enjoyed the fact that all these people would stick up for her, and clearly didn't think she would have this many people. Hermione cherished the friendship she had with Ron but couldn't stand him choosing between her and Harry, she knew it had to stop. Bill was defending her for obvious reasons and Fred and George had a strong bond with her that no one could compare to.
Sphinx, whom everyone ignored, sat next to the warmth of Draco. She knew Hermione was in good hands and was content to stay next to them. She would attack anyone at the chance that they would hurt Hermione but for now she was content on sleeping, she was a puppy after all, and they needed their sleep too.
Ginny, who had walked up to the group, was scared to even confront them. She really felt bad and didn't want to see all the angry looks she would surely get from this group. She bit her tongue and took a deep breath, she had to save Harry.
"Hermione, I would love for you to tell me how you can get half my brothers, two of Slytherin's royalty, and the 'boy-who-lived' to follow you out here without food," she said, looking at Hermione.
"Shake your ass, and men will follow," Hermione said lightly with a hint of a smile on her lips. She couldn't stay mad at Ginny after all, Harry was the one who cheated on her. Sure she was mad that she hurt Draco but he clearly wasn't hurt and had been on speaking terms with her lately.
"Hmm, I think I should try that sometime," Ginny said with a smile.
The tension in the group went down and they all sighed. Fred and George sat back down, George's head back in Hermione's lap and Fred at her feet. Harry sat down and Ginny sat next to him. Bill stood and looked at the group. He snickered as he saw this group together. Blaise and Draco were clearly there for Hermione and the rest were on neutral ground between Harry and Hermione. He gave Hermione a lopsided smile and gracefully sat next to Fred.
Snape had walked up and saw them sitting together. He felt something flare up into his stomach when he saw Draco with Hermione in his arms, but he wasn't too sure on what that feeling was. He looked at the odd group and was stumped on who would have even thought they would end up being friends.
"Sorry to interrupt this Weasley reunion, but I believe, Miss Granger, you have detention?" Snape hissed as he walked up on the group.
"Oh shit!" Hermione said as she scrambled to get up. Sphinx got up, stretched and stood at Hermione's feet.
"Leave the mutt, Granger," he snarled at her.
Sphinx snarled and barked at Snape and angrily walked over to Draco, nuzzling his hand.
"I'll watch her for you, Tink," Draco said as he started to pet Sphinx.
Hermione nodded and jogged to keep up with Snape who was already stalking off.
XXXXXXX
Hermione had gotten tired of trying to keep up with Snape so she stopped running and started to walk. She was pregnant and got exhausted a lot faster than she normally would have. Once she got to the dungeons she found Snape leaning against his classroom door, smirking at her. She knew something had to be up.
"Ladies first, Granger," Snape said with his silky voice.
Hermione gulped and opened the door and stepped in. As soon as she walked in she felt the magic form around her and she gasped. Her hair turned blonde and she could feel her clothes getting smaller. She looked down and she was horrified. She was now wearing a small green dress that barely covered her butt and was sparkling. She could feel her hair being pulled up into a loose bun and a small tiara appearing on her head. She looked at her feet and noticed she had on green shoes with a white ball of fluff on them on and she then felt the wings on her back. No, he couldn't have! She screamed in horror. Oh gods, he did. I'm Tinkerbell! She gasped and looked at him.
Snape smirked at her distress. He found it amusing and couldn't think of a better way to get her back. He was almost tempted to laugh as he watched her mouth open and close and couple of times before she could manage to get anything out.
"How did you know?" she hissed.
"I have my ways. By the way for detention I need you to grade papers," he snarled as he walked out.
Hermione was pissed and that was using the word pissed lightly. She grumbled as she sat down at a desk and jumped back up when she sat down, the seat was cold. She muttered a warming charm and sat back down. She pulled out a quill and a bottle of red ink and grabbed the papers he had left for her to grade.
It was 12:30 when she finished her last paper and she was exhausted. She laid her head down and fell asleep, not really caring she was in the Potion's classroom.
Snape walked in around one and found her asleep. He smiled to himself and left her a note before he proceeded to bed also.
XXXXXXX
Hermione woke up with a jump and realized that it was morning. She huffed and noticed Snape had left her a note.
Miss Granger
Go eat and keep warm. The spell wears off in a week.
Professor Snape
Bloody bastard. She sighed and stretched, she had to go to breakfast. As she was walking to the Great Hall she was nervous about walking in and she knew she couldn't show that she was embarrassed so when she reached the doors to the Great Hall she held her head up high and walked in.
Draco was the first to notice her and couldn't help but smile. Snape really knows how to get revenge. He thought as she walked towards him with a scowl on her face. Fred and George, who were sitting across from Draco and Blaise, turned to see what Draco was smiling at. They couldn't help but smile also as they saw Hermione. Blaise, who was sitting two seats next to Draco, leaving the seat in the middle for Hermione, turned and started laughing also.
Harry, Ron and Ginny were also laughing as they saw Hermione stalk into the Great Hall. They got up and made their way to Hermione as she plopped herself down in the seat between Draco and Blaise.
"So, have a nice detention?" Draco dared to ask.
Hermione was furious. She pulled out her wand and Draco's eyes got big. She muttered a spell and he turned into Peter Pan and she next turned to Fred and George and turned them into the twins, whom were lost boys. Ginny, who was laughing at Draco, never noticed Hermione raise her wand and change her into Wendy until she felt the dress on her and she gasped. She turned Harry into John, Wendy's brother and Ron into Michael, Wendy's other brother. Blaise was turned into a lost boy with a teddy bear and a blanket and she then turned to Snape. She raised her wand. She smirked at his look of horror, and turned him into Captain Hook.
Everyone instantly stopped laughing and looked at themselves. They looked at Hermione in horror and all muttered a sorry. Dumbledore, whom found this all very amusing, interrupted them.
"Good morning, everyone, I hope you are enjoying this beautiful spring day. May I introduce you to the cast of Peter Pan? Well, tuck in!" he said as he sat down and piled eggs and bacon onto his plate.
Snape had to admit, his outfit wasn't too bad, besides the fact it was burgundy and gold. His hair was long, black and curly and he had a hook for a hand, all the more menacing to the students.
Fred and George looked at each other and gasped as they couldn't change themselves back into their normal selves. They were in a pair of trousers and only a pair of trousers.
Ginny was wearing a night dress and had to admit she liked the color of her new hair. It was a dirty blonde and fell softly down her back. She muttered a sorry to Hermione and went back to the Gryffindor table to eat.
Harry and Ron were horrified. They were in night clothes and couldn't change themselves back. They looked at Hermione and glared at her, only causing her to smirk at them.
Draco was sitting there staring at his outfit. His hair was curly and he was wearing a pair of trousers with a sash of leaves running across his chest. He thought he looked pretty good.
Blaise was horrified he couldn't let go of the teddy bear or the blanket. He looked at Hermione with a helpless expression. "Please? So I can eat?" he asked her.
She nodded, muttered a charm and he was able to put the bear and blanket down. She then turned her attention back to breakfast and started to eat her eggs and bacon and sausage. She ate quietly and enjoyed her wings.
Sphinx, who was silently looking at the scene in amusement made her decision. Hermione's guardian would visit her tonight in her dreams. Normally it would take about a mouth to figure out who would best suit the owner but Hermione only took a day, which was a new record. She was spontaneous and incredibly cheerful. She forgave people easily and had no problem with seeing the good in people. She protected those she cared about and it was time for her to know her true background and where she came from. Sphinx laid her head back down on her paws and got comfortable under the table again.
XXXXXXX
Hermione had spent most of her day flying around outside. She was testing out her wings and she couldn't find a better thing to do than to fly outside. Fred and George had spent the rest of the day with her and soon forgave her and asked her kindly to remove the spell, which she did.
It was around four when Draco, Ron, Harry, Ginny, Blaise and Bill all came outside to join Fred, Hermione and George. Not too soon after that the 7 men and one girl 'Accio'ed their brooms and flew around with Hermione.
Hermione was now sitting on her bed and was ready to sleep. She had an exhausting day and wanted to sleep. She finally made up with Harry and they decided that they still wanted to be best friends. Everyone was happy because now they were once again a group of friends. She was extremely happy that her and Harry made up because she could now talk to Harry about her problems and not have to worry about them fighting about their not-so-nice break-up.
Hermione lay down and drifted off into sleep where her guardian was waiting for her.
She was seeing through a haze and couldn't quite make out what was coming out of the smoke she was seeing. She then noticed a figure of a man walk out.
He was a tall man and he possessed the ability to demand respect. His hair was black and his body was built like a king. It then dawned on her, he WAS a king. He had a tan body and his eyes were a rich cinnamon brown. Around his head was a bar of gold that looked like it was welded into his head.
"Hermione, my dear, do not fear me," he said to her.
"Who are you?" she asked as she started to bow, the air around him demanded the respect.
"My child," he said to her as he reached out to caress her chin, "do not bow, you do not owe me that. I should be the one bowing to you."
"Who are you?" she asked in a shaky voice.
"I am Hotepsekhemwy, your guardian. I was the first pharaoh of the 2nd Dynasty in Egypt. I am here to protect you," he said to her.
"You're...who?" she said in disbelief.
"My child, just call me Hemway. I am here to protect you from something in the future. I can not tell you what for but I can offer you something," he said to her.
A rock appeared next to her and she took the seat. She sat there looking at him in wonder. 'This man is my guardian' she thought.
"What?" she asked.
"I can give you wisdom, guidance and the power of unity. I am known mostly for bringing Upper and Lower Egypt together, although it was after trouble but I united them. My brother over threw me after 38 years of being pharaoh, but that doesn't matter. I was able to satisfy both sides and I was able to change. You, my dear, will have the wisdom to do this also. When you need me alls you have to do is call my name and I will come to you," he said to her.
"Why are you protecting me? I'm not in any pharaoh's blood line," she whispered.
"My dear, you are in my direct blood line," he said as he tilted her chin towards him, "I always protect what is mine."
He gave her a soft kiss on her forehead and he disappeared back into the fog he came from.
Hermione woke with a start. She was related to a pharaoh. She looked at the clock and noticed that she still had another three hours of sleep. Sphinx had jumped up on her bead and was now snuggled up next to Hermione, keeping her warm. Draco was asleep next to her and his arm was gracefully wrapped around her waist. They loved each other, but in a brotherly/sisterly way and they would never change that.
Hermione found it hard to get comfortable because her wings were driving her insane. She promised to get Snape back as she wiggled little bit and once again got comfortable in Draco's arms.
XXXXXXX
A/N: Alright, the Sphinx of Giza actually does exist and some of what I said is true, some was purely made up for the purposes of this story. You learned more about Bill and Hermione and now you see why I rated this R? Sorry, but the HG/SS will come in time. What could Draco, Fred, George and Hermione possibly have to do with each other? Snape is also involved. Anyone who can guess will defiantly get credit for being a very smart person. There was a pharaoh by that name and some of what I said was true. Sorry for those of you who don't like BW/HG. Just be patient, I promise you, soon.
17 pages of writing, I'm very proud of myself. Please read and review.
