Chapter Eight
Disclaimer: I dont own n e thing,though I wish to own Draco

"So when does Dumbledore want you and Malfoy to start?" Harry asked

"Soon I guess, what I don't understand why he mentioned Godric Gryffindor the last time we talked to him." Hermione answered, they were talking in the common room, it was very early and no one had awakened yet.

"Want to come with me to owlery; I'm going to go send Ms. Weasley a letter. She wants me to send her mail, so she knows how I am."

"Sure, How is she anyway? I mean last year she was a rec, with Percy being a git, and half her family in the order."

"Yeah, she's better...Arthur is doing a lot more work at the office know that Voldemort's back. Percy comes for dinner now...I saw him about 5 times when I was there this summer."

Hermione smiled at Harry as they walked across the dark hallways. Portraits seemed to still be asleep. Hermione then looked a head of her, but Harry continued to star at her.

"Hermione, what do you see in him?"

"Who? Victor, you now were not--"

"You know who I mean Hermione, Malfoy" Harry said in disgust

"Harry, I can handle my self you know" Hermione said while opening the wooden door to the owlery. Harry walked in and turned to her "I know you can, it's him I don't trust. I'm not telling you that I don't want you dating him...or what ever it is you guys are doing, you already know that I don't like him."

"Look, Harry I don't even know what's going on here between me and Draco, All I know is the only people I can trust are you, Ron, Dumbledore and Draco. It may seem weird to you, but having a bond such as this can make you trust anyone"

"Hey, don't get me wrong but I have a connection with Voldemort-Harry pointed to his scare-but you don't see me trusting him."

"Listen, You don't understand how it feels when someone has treated you so badly, and then you have "

"Don't get me wrong Hermione, but your talking like someone who's insane, not in love"

Harry shock his head and looked around for Hedwig , she was sleepy beside a couple of Barn owls. Harry whistled and she woke up, and flew down on Harry's outstretched arm.

Hermione was leaning on an empty owl holder, and staring out the window, she was smiling "Scary how those two traits can be confused so easily." She turned and looked at Harry as he sent Hedwig on her mission. Hermione then changed the topic.

"You know, Dumbledore did say that me and Draco are related to Godric...HARRY! In second year you defeated Voldemort with Godric's sword right?"

"Yeah?" Harry answered as he stood by Hermione looking confused.

"It killed his basilisk, and Voldemort was the heir of Slytherine. Everyone knows that Godric and Salazar never agreed"

"So, are you trying to tell me that the sword of Godric could kill Voldemort?"

"Yes, but imagine if he got it Harry, he would wielded it in a different way, possibly to use me to get certain powers."

"Where are we supposed to meet him?" Draco asked as they walked down the empty hallway.

"out side would be preferable, but someone could look outside and see, its so risky. So I chose the room of requirement, it will be able to create an outside simulation."

"The room of what..?" Draco asked

"You know the one you went to too from me and Harry and the rest of the members of the group that was secretly learning Defense of the Dark Arts" Draco chuckled and whispered "oh yeah"

"You think that's funny?" Hermione snapped as she stopped at the top of the ninth staircase.

"At the time, yes" Draco answered.

"Well this is the wall..." Hermione said as she stopped and turned to Draco. She told him that they had to walk back and forth 3 times and think hard about what they needed. Soon the door materialized in front of them.

The room was much different that what Hermione remembered it. It seemed like it was a bright sunny day outside, even thought currently it was dark and stormy. On a near by tree was a note. Hermione walked to it and pulled it off the tree and read "Dear Hermione and Draco, I am running late and will meet you in here as soon as possible. If I am not here by 9 return to your common rooms

Dumbledore"

"So, we wait? Draco asked

"You can but I'm going to start"

"You have no Idea how to, where are we supposed to even begin?"

Hermione ignored his comment and walked over to a stone, she noticed that beautiful flowers surrounded it. She went to touch one and burnt her hand.

"Ouch"

"What happened?" Draco whipped around; he walked quickly over to Hermione and touched her red hand.

"Better?"

"Much" she smiled back "it's just, I went to touch to flowers and it burnt me, what do you think it means?"

"I don't know...maybe we have to use the flowers, or touch them to learn something, I have no idea."

Hermione sat down on the grass beside a tree, she grabbed her bag and pulled it close to her, and she pulled out her black book.

"Hermione, its hardly time for reading..."

"I know Draco; I've seen this diagram before. Here it is.

Flowers of Flame

Protect the sword

It's theirs to claim

For the 5ths accord"

"Hey don't look at me Hermione, I have no Idea what that means. It could mean anything."

"Yes anything, but it says the 5th accord right? We can control the 4 elements, and we connect the elements, we are the 5th one. These flowers must protect a sword that we must get...Godric's sword."

"But that sword is in Dumbledore's office"

"Perhaps, or Godric's sword will kill these flowers and will help us find the one we need."

"I say Hermione you are the smartest witch your age." Said a calm voice from behind them, they turned around and saw Dumbledore standing near the exit. He was holding a long object wrapped in a white cloth. He walked to Hermione and took the cloth off the object revealing Godric's sword. He tapped the flowers with the sword and the sword suddenly looked as if it was sucking flame from the flowers. A red tinge traveled through the whole sword and Dumbledore placed it back in the white cloth.

Hermione looked back at the flowers and they were dead, but there was know a sword in the stone.

"I thought this was a myth?"

"So did I till this year. You see Godric went by one other name...Author, King Author. He received magical powers from Merlin and went to create a school, were he placed Excalibur here in this very school were no one would find it till the time would come. Know I want you to try and pull it out of the stone just as he had, Draco you first."

Draco walked over to the stone and went to touch the stone, it was cold.

"It's freezing!" He looked over to Dumbledore, who nodded and Draco continued. He grabbed the handle, but it didn't budge. He stepped back and Hermione walked forward touched the handle took a firm grip and the sword slowly came out of the stone. Hermione felt like cold water had gone through her whole body. She looked at the sword and saw her reflection...one of her eyes was bright Green, and the other was Brown.
