Chapter 6: Fate
"Enter!" Professor Dumbledore commanded as Hermione knocked on the huge brass door.
Draco pushed the door open for Hermione to enter before entering.
"I see you guys're getting along rather nicely." Professor Dumbledore said as he smiled warmly.
Hermione blushed while Draco looked away and smiled bashfully.
Professor Dumbledore continued, "Alright, keep it up! I'm sure the both of you'll lead the school well. I gather you know bout the sharing of a dormitory?"
The both of them nodded their heads.
"I would like to show you to your dorms personally."
"What 'bout the password? Draco asked.
"Oh that, it will be decided on your fate." He smiled mysteriously.
Seeing the lost look in the both of them, he continued. "I'll put four words: Rivalry, Friendship, Love and Marriage into this goblet of fire. The word that gets picked will be your password and of course…your fate."
Professor Dumbledore dropped the four slips of paper into the goblet.
Hermione's heart was racing.
Draco's eyes widen.
Fate? They wondered nervously.
The fire turned blue and out popped a slip of paper.
Draco and Hermione looked at each other then at the folded piece of paper in Dumbledore's palm.
He unfolded the paper.
They held their breath.
Thoughts raced through their mind.
Though they were friends now, they didn't trust each other to be friends forever.
Draco's too tricky. Hermione thought.
Hermione's a mudblood. Draco thought.
Yet deep down in their hearts, they knew what they wanted.
The slip of paper, unfolded, was lying on his palm.
They peered over with a mixed feeling of curiosity and fear.
It read "marriage".
A/N: How is it? And sorry for the short chapter. Seriously in demand for more reviews!
