A/N: Hope you like this chapter! I do! (Also I squeezed it in the last chapter, but Storge means familial love, so in other words Tom is like her brother) Onto the chapter!


Chapter 4

The Distant Past and Not So Distant Future

Clouds laid below them like a blanket of cotton or a huge valley of pillows and with the sun beaming down on the valley it made such a beautiful site. Hermione thought to herself that if this was heaven, then heaven was definitely a splendid place to be.

It had only been five minutes, yet Hermione was already bored out of her mind and subconsciously she began fiddling with the bracelets on her wrist. After a close look at the wrist of Hermione Granger, you could see two bracelets, and both had a past that you would only know if you had asked Miss Granger herself (which everyone rarely did).

The first bracelet had been given to Hermione by Tom and she loved it as dearly as she loved him. It was made up of blue beads, silverish beads that you could see your reflection in, and little flowery beads in different patterns along a clear piece of plastic string. But in the center of the many patterns was a silverish heart (just like the beads) with the word Harmony in a neat black cursive. Though Miss Granger loved the bracelet more then anything, there was some things she didn't know about it, but she would find out in good time.

The second bracelet had been given to Hermione by her Ron…well he used to be hers, but now he was just Ron. This bracelet was 2 silver u-shaped links and a silver square boxy thing. The "silver square boxy thing" was a biggish silver square with a small diamond in the middle surrounded by 4 smaller squares above, below, and next to it. Each side square attached to the u's and the u's attached to other u's and the "silver square boxy thing" and it went on and on until it was a full bracelet. Anyway, from September to February of their sixth year she had been Ronald Weasley's girlfriend and her long fancied crush had been hers. But those dreams had been shattered all because of one person: Cho Chang. Ronald Bilius Weasley and Hermione Jane Granger had been in love…or at least that's what Hermione had thought. Ron had said he had loved her as she had said back, which is when he had given her the bracelet. Their relationship had been crushed by Miss Chang.

Cho Chang is one thing that Hermione could go on about for hours upon hours. In Hermione's words she was "A slut faced bitch who stole my Ron away!" After dating Harry, Cho had dated Draco Malfoy from the end of September (after breaking up with Corner) to February, yes Malfoy, for what Hermione thought was revenge. Seeing the connection yet? Well in February, Ron had broken up with Hermione.

Flashback

"It isn't love, 'Mione, just lust! You're beautiful look at you! I'm sorry 'Mione, but this just isn't working out," Ron had explained while looking at Hermione's tear-stained face.

"Well I know you love someone! I see it in your eyes! But now I notice it isn't me! Well who is it Ron!" Hermione sobbed.

"Cho Chang…" murmured Ron.

"How many of my friends are going to go for that whore?" Hermione screamed outraged. And with that she stalked out of the Common Room and up the girl's dormitory staircase.

"Can we still be friends?" Ron shouted the over used break up line up the staircase. He was then answered with a slammed door.

Back to the present we go

That had been the end of Hermione and her Ron.

Hermione didn't know that next to her a Mr. Malfoy was thinking of the same thing…well almost.

D: I loved her! For once I had loved someone! And now it's over! I know it started out as a deal to get at Potter, but I really loved her. Not the lust she had spoken of! Most of all, I lost her to Weasley! I never knew a broken heart could hurt this bad…Wow, I am getting soft! Suck it up, Draco! Any form of mercy is a weakness and that includes softness! Think about your future or something…o yeah that is just as doomed…

There were certain things about Draco Malfoy that no one knew of including his destiny and what things he had to do and follow to get there. He had learned well the law, and he never forwent an advantage or drew back from a foe he had started on the way to Death. He had learned from his father, and from many others, and knew there was no middle course. He must master or be mastered; while to show mercy was a weakness. Mercy did not exist in his destined life. It was misunderstood for fear, and such misunderstandings made for death. Kill or be killed, eat or be eaten, was the law; and this mandate, down out of the depths of Time, he obeyed.

Pop!

"Hello! And welcome to the AP. I am your stewardwitch, Cassie. Let me start by helping you make your seats more comfortable. To help me I ask you to please think of your favorite chair, bed, or couch," Cassie said politely.

Hermione didn't see the point in this because they had the normal muggle airplane seats that she had had for her last AP flight in 33A. But she did what she was told.

"Finally! We're ready now, Cassie, my dear," Malfoy said with a smile that would make Lockhart proud.

"coughgitcough," Hermione 'coughed'.

"Well , now that you're done dearie…" she replied gingerly as she waved her hand and a red Gryffindor Common Room squishy armchair and a black leather recliner appeared, "There you go and what would you like to drink and eat. We have anything and everything you can think of!"

"Cassie, I'll have a Penne Con Pollo Pomodoro, a water, and a Komodo Dragon Blend coffee, Starbucks style," Malfoy asked.

"Yup, and you?" inquired Cassie.

"Hmm…I was thinking of Chicken Penne Primavera, but I don't really feel like having classy food. Had too much at my American cousin Tom's mansion, you know? How about a chicken fiesta burrito, Taco Bell style, just chicken and rice and a Pepsi, please," Hermione bragged…well sort of bragged…okay not really, but she thought it was good bragging.

H: Take that!

D: Stupid, Mudblood!

H: Ferret!

D: Wait! What just happened?

H: It's us hallucinating!

D: Oh, okay.

"Coming right up!" exclaimed Cassie, while the two 17-year-old's meals appeared before them.

"Thank you!" they answered simultaneously.

Hermione quickly finished her meal because she used a spork instead of picking up the taco and eating it. Suddenly, her eyes fell to what was in her hands: the Hogwarts letter.

H: How could I forget the Hogwarts letter!

Hermione ripped it open as Malfoy took his out of his pocket and opened it as well. Both letters were quite heavy…. At the same time both shook the heavy envelope and a badge fell out.

"I'm Head Girl!"

"I'm Head Boy!"

"Oh, shit!"

"Stop, doing that!" they both cried at the same time.

With the badge came the usual supply lists and they both got an extra letter.

Dear Miss Granger,

I am very please to inform you that you have been made Head Girl due to your services to the school, academic abilities, people skills, and simply put, everything wonderful you have done. This is your great award along with your own room in the Gryffindor Tower and a surprise of my own. I can't wait to see you on the first of September and could you Mr. Malfoy please report to my office at promptly 9:30 p.m. after the Welcome Feast!

Thank you!

Sincerely,

A.P.W.B.Dumbledore

Headmaster of Hogwarts

Malfoy's letter said about the same thing.

H: This might not suck that much

"Yeah, you're right," Malfoy answered out loud.

"Okay, is it just me or do we have some type of…telepathic thing?" asked Hermione.

"Oh good, it's you too. I'm glad I'm not going insane, Granger," replied Malfoy.

"I'll ask Dumbledore, at that meeting thing…" Hermione said.

"Okey, Dokey!" answered Malfoy in a childish voice.

"No offence, but you're really starting to scare me," murmured Hermione.

"None taken, I scare a lot of people…" Malfoy said, the last part menacingly and almost sounding not sane…oh I mean insane, same thing, right?

Pop!

"We have arrived in London and we at the AP services hope that you have enjoyed your flight and will come again!" Cassie announced.

Hermione and Malfoy stepped off the AP and soon each found their own way into the streets of London.


A/N: Here's what's the paragraph from The Call of the Wild, it was just to good to not use:

"He had learned well the law of club and fang, and he never forwent an advantage or drew back from a foe he had started on the way to Death. He had lessoned from Spitz, and from the chief fighting dogs of the police and mail, and knew there was no middle course. He must master or be mastered; while to show mercy was a weakness. Mercy did not exist in the primordial life. It was misunderstood for fear, and such misunderstandings made for death. Kill or be killed, eat or be eaten, was the law; and this mandate, down out of the depths of Time, he obeyed."
