Chapter 3:

Head Quarters and Chat With a Malfoy

Author's Note: Sorry that this chapter has taken me so long to get posted. I have been kinda busy lately with homework, Christmas shopping, studying for my final exams (I hate final exams), and work. But never fear, I will finish this story……………………………………………………………….. eventually.

Hermione was shocked, and to say the least, Draco was also. The room looked to be about 40'x35' and it looked like there was no ceiling. The ceiling looked like I did in the Great Hall. And the walls were white, which, to Hermione, seemed very odd. Hermione walked over to a book that was on a podium by the wall.

The Head Rooms and How to Use and understand them, was the title of the book. Hermione opened the book and scanned the list of chapter and subchapter titles. She found the chapter titled Decoration in the Head Common Room. She turned to the page and read it allowed.

"The common room is yours completely to design. The type of wood that the furtinature was made of is perminent though. The type of all the wooden furtinature in all of the Head dorms is made of African Blackwood. You can make the common room wall look like anything you want it to. Just point your wand at the wall and say what you want it to look like. The same goes for the floor."

At the end of this paragraph, Hermione stopped reading, and took out her wand. She pointed her wand at the wall and said, "The Great Barrier Reef."

Instantly, the walls changed to look like that of The Great Barrier Reef. Fish and other sea creatures were swimming around the walls. Hermione saw an underwater castle, near the reef. She watched as dozens and dozens of mermaids and mermen swam out of the castle and all in different directions, only to swim in a circle and pass each other and back into the castle.

Hermione tried all sorts of different things that she could do with the wall. Mountains, Egypt, Rome, Spain, London, Paris, and when she was finally satisfied with a treasure room look on the walls. Now it looked like Draco and Hermione were in a treasure room that was filled with gold, silver, rubies, sapphires, diamonds, emeralds and other precious jewels. When she was satisfied, she pointed her wand to the floor and said, "Black stone."

She walked back to the book and read the rest of the chapter, silently this time, as Draco was sitting on the couch and reading. When she was done, she walked over to the Gryffindor couch, pointed her wand at is and said, "Slytherin."

The couch transformed to look like that of Draco's couch. She then not satisfied with the common room wall, pointed her wand at it, and said, "Dark gray stone."

As the wall changed to the dark gray stone, Hermione picked up the book and walked over to Draco's couch and sat down beside him. She snuggled up to him and opened the book and started to read. Draco looked at Hermione with only a slight look of shock on his face, and then went back to reading his book, Sucessful Deatheaters. The book was only given to new recruits and initiates. The book had a spell on it so that only deatheaters could read it.

About a 1 ½ hours later, Hermione stood up and ran to the staircase and up it as fast as she could. Draco wasn't surprised. He was surprised however, when he heard Hermione scream. He dropped his book and ran up the staircase, only to run into Hermione and knock her over. Draco quickly stood up and held out his hand to Hermione. She took it and he pulled her up.

"Why in the living hell did you scream?"

"That's why." Hermione said, pointing at a long hallway of portraits in front of her.

It was a hallway of portraits that had a portrait of every past Head boy and girl. There were many many pictures of people they didn't know that had been Head boy and girl. Somewhere near the end of the hall they saw a picture of Lucuis Malfoy and another girl that neither of them knew. And farther along, they saw Harry's parents and the picture was holding a baby Harry.

"Draco, I didn't know that you're father was Head boy."

"I didn't know that he was either, he's never told me before. In fact, now that I think about it, he's never told me anything about when he was in school."

"That's odd. Ohhh well, I'm going to go back down stairs and sit on one of the couches."

She headed down the stairs with Draco following behind her. When Draco passed the picture of his father, he stopped for a moment to look at the portrait. And now that Draco looked more closely at it, the more he noticed that his father hadn't changed a bit. When Draco finally got down to the common room, he noticed that Hermione was sitting on his Slytherin couch, cuddled up in his green and gold couch and reading his book on how to be a successful deatheater.

"Hermione, what in the world are you doing reading that book?"

"I'm reading it, because I'm sick and tired of being the goody-goody Gryffindor Princess. I'm not what I used to be. Over this past summer I changed a lot. More than anyone can know. I hate who I am, so I'm changing who I am into someone that no one will ever recognize as Hermione Granger, I am now Hermione Cristal."

"Okay, then I have a question for you." Draco said walking over to his couch and sitting next to Hermione and turning to her. "If you had to choose who to support who would it be, Dumbledore or Voldemort?"

"OHHH MY GOD you're seriously asking me that question. All you've found out about me, since we got back, you really don't know who I would choose. But to answer your question, I would choose Voldemort any day."

"Okay then. Mind if I sit next to you on MY couch and read the book along with you, despite the fact that I'm further into the book."

"No, I don't mind."

Hermione scooted over and Draco sat down at the end of the couch and pulled Hermione to him, so that they could both read the book. After awhile, Draco heard the quiet even breathing of Hermione and looked down at her to see that she was fast asleep. Draco put the book down on the floor and pulled out his wand, and muttered a spell and out of thin air appeared a blanket. He threw it across Hermione and himself and leaned back on the headrest of the couch and fell fast asleep himself.

Hermione woke up around noon the next day to feel some odd shaped thing under her. She sat up and looked down to see Draco smiling at her, his dark gray eyes gleaming. Then all the events came back from the night before, and she smiled at the thought. She laid back down, her head in Draco's lap.

"Did you sleep well?" Hermione asked, smiling up at Draco.

"I had a beautiful girl sleeping on me, so yes I did."

"Ohhh, so now I'm beautiful?"

"You've always been beautiful."

"Then why did you call me ugly for six years? Hmmm, get out of that one."

"I was just saying it, cause I was jealous of Pothead and the Weasel. I wanted you to be in Slytherin, but since I thought that you were a mudblood, I knew that you would never be in Slytherin."

"Well, I'm not a mudblood, as you and I now know. What are you thinking right now?"

"I'm thinking about doing this."

Draco leaned down and kissed Hermione softly on the lips. He pulled back a little to see her reaction, she was smiling. Draco leaned back down and started kissing her lips brushing his tongue across her bottom lip; she gladly opened her mouth to let his tongue enter. Draco broke the kiss and saw her still smiling, but he pulled all the way back. She got a disappointed look on her face.

"As much as I would love to continue doing this for the rest of the day, I must ask you if you would like to meet someone."

"Sure, I would love to meet Voldemort."

"How do you know I was going to introduce you to Voldemort?"

"Draco, I'm the top witch of our year, and you're asking me that question."

"Well, yes I was going to introduce you to Voldemort, if it's okay with you to go to the Malfoy manor today and if it's okay with father and our Lord."

Draco stood up and walked over to the fireplace and took a pot off the mantle and took and pinch of flew powder and threw it into the fire and stuck his head in and said clearly, "Malfoy Manor." After a minute or two, Lucius Malfoy appeared.

"Hello Draco. What do you need?"

"Would it be okay if I flooed over right now with someone that I would like you to meet? Someone that I assure you will be a great asset to the Dark Lord."

"Why of course. I must go call the Dark Lord. Just come right over and he will meet you here."

Draco pulled his head out of the fire and turned to look at Hermione.

"Hermione, are you positive that you want to meet the Dark Lord."

"I've been sure since I found out that I was adopted and that my biological parents were deatheaters."

"Okay then, let's go."

Draco took her hand in his and together the two stepped into the fire. Draco dropped the floo powder and yelled, "MALFOY MANOR."
