"Hey Ron guess what I found?" Hermione called as she entered the dinning hall where Ron was sat a few seats away from Harry and Ginny. She held out Ron's Dog Tags, now with a broken chain.
"Great! Where were they?" He asked taking them off her.
"In the courtyard. I told you the chain had probably broken. You should get a new one." She scolded as she sat down.
She grabbed a plate and started eating while listening to the conversation Harry and Ginny were having. They were talking about a deatheater attack in Staffordshire a few days before. Hermione, of course, knew all about it, as she had been the one who had planned in. they'd got rid of four muggleborn and two half bloods. She'd been very pleased. She hid here smirk as Ginny looked at her.
"Where were you yesterday Herms? We looked for you." She asked
"I went out. Didn't feel like being around here. If you were talking to him Ron would have told you." She said glad Ron was to busy eating to listen to what she was saying so he couldn't tell them otherwise. "I'm going to the library, anyone want to come?"
"Yeh I will." Ginny said quickly finishing what she had been eating.
They walked down the hall in an uncomfortable silence, sending each other suspicious glares while the other was looking away.
"So what are you looking for?" Ginny asked as they sat at one of the tables.
"Protection spells. If the deatheaters have a bounty on my head then I want to be able to fend for myself right? How about you?"
"Memory charms." Ginny replied as she looked at shelf of spell books. Hermione felt a moment of panic.
"What for?" She asked, trying to sound calm.
"No reason." Ginny shrugged, "Just wanted to know more about them."
"I'm going to go look over there." Hermione said quickly and walked away. This proved to be very fortunate as she overheard a very interesting conversation.
"Rachel Elizabeth Peres! If you don't stop snivelling I'll curse you I will!" One of the girls said. Hermione's ear instantly pricked up and she moved along the bookcase so she could have a better view of what was going on.
"But he just dumped me! Just like that, no reason at all." The one that was Rachel cried into another's shoulder. "All I said was that I wanted to settle down eventually and he just freaked!"
"Well that's guys for you. You may want marriage and a baby. But they don't." The other one said bitterly.
"Why though? Why can't I meet a guy who wants to settle down? It can't be that hard can it?"
An idea instantly shot to Hermione's head and she rushed back to Ginny.
"Listen Gin, I need to go owl someone. They've got a book I wanted to look at so I want to ask them to send it over. Do you mind if I do it now?" she asked when she got back to the table.
"No that's fine. I'll see you at lunch then?" Ginny said as Hermione rushed off. She then turned her attention back to the book she was reading: Memory Charms and How To Break Them.
Hermione arrived at the Riddle House; she didn't bother to take the spell off herself though so she was getting a few odd looks from some of the death eaters.
She ignored them though and walked into Malfoy's office to talk to him.
"I have a plan. I need you to find a male death eater, around twenty seven-ish, good looking, good at acting and unknown as a deatheater. NOW!" she ordered as she walked in.
"Yes Mistress." Draco said and left instantly.
Around five minutes later Draco returned with a man in toe.
"This is Ethan Hadley, Mistress, he says the is very happy to be able to aid you in any way he can." Draco said.
"And so he should be." Hermione snapped before turning her attention to Ethan. "I want you to give a love potion to a girl in the order. She must fall in love with you. You must get the information I want out of her. But you must convince everyone you are in love. You have three weeks."
"Three weeks!" Ethan exclaimed. "That's impossible!"
"No Hadley it's improbable. Not impossible. She will be under a love spell, a strong one, so it should be easy. All you need to do is get the information I want. After the three weeks are up you may do what you want with her, kill her if it pleases you. Just get the information and make sure you're cover is blown. Is that clear?"
"Yes Mistress." He said with a bow.
"Good. Come to my office tonight and I will give you the potion and new clothes so you can fit in at the Order. I shall take you there tomorrow."
So what do you want to see happen in the end? Who do you want to die? I was just going to kill everybody but I think that may be a little harsh. I'm not sure yet.
Anyway what type of story do you want me to write next? You are my readers it should be your choice to. Any ideas let me know. And any suggestions please do tell me.
Thanks.
