Chapter Seven: Hermione Tells

Draco jumped in surprise at the knock on his front door. He stood up from his lounge where he was reading the paper and walked to the front door. He opened it and smiled at Hermione, though the smile slipped from his face when he saw she was near tears.

"Baby, what's wrong?" asked Draco pulling her inside, shutting the door behind him.

Hermione said nothing but hugged Draco, who hugged her back. She wasn't crying but was near too it.

"Mione Girl, what's the matter?"

"I wish people knew when to back off from my life," muttered Hermione.

Draco sighed and led her to the lounge; he sat her down and sat down besides her looking at her in worry.

"Is it about this secret you a hiding?"

Hermione nodded, "Amy, Albus and probably Gavin now, know something is up."

"Please don't get mad at me Mione but perhaps you do need to tell everyone. Or at least someone you trust."

Hermione looked at Draco in desperation, she knew it was time to tell someone, especially when either Harry or Percy were in danger. But she didn't know how people were going to react to her secret, her deadly secret.

"I… I know something that will affect everyone. People I know are in danger, in big danger," said Hermione in a quiet voice.

"What?"

"Someone you all think is gone isn't. I saw that person earlier tonight."

"Clarissa?" asked Draco, his eyes wide.

Hermione nodded, "She didn't die when your old Manor collapsed from the explosion. Before everything went black I saw her disappear."

"All this time, you knew she was alive and you told nobody?" asked Draco slightly angry.

"Well I couldn't could I? I was knocked out for four bloody years, Draco and when I woke I saw how everyone was happy, living in harmony. How could I put an end to that? After all everyone has been through because of me, I couldn't bring myself to say a word, until now."

"Why now?"

"Like I said, I saw Clarissa today. S-she is living in disguise… as either Lynette… or Carla."

Draco swore loudly and ran a hand through his hair. Hermione stood up and started pacing.

"I don't know who… but she has the respect of nearly everyone as either one. How am I meant to prove to everyone I'm not lying or all this isn't some after affect of the coma?" asked Hermione in a panicked voice before looking at Draco, "Do you believe me?"

Draco stood up and walked over to Hermione, wrapping his arms around her waist and looking down at her, "Of course I do. Calm down. We both need sleep and tomorrow after work of course, we will go and speak to Dumbledore. This needs to be dealt with."

Hermione nodded and leaned up and kissed Draco tenderly on the lips. Draco smiled at her warmly.

"Stay the night?" he asked quietly.

Hermione smiled and nodded, following Draco into his bedroom, shutting the door behind her…

!Z!

The next morning dawned all too soon for Hermione, but at 6:30am to untangled herself from Draco's arms and sat up, stretching. Beside her Draco murmured something in his sleep before cracking his eyes open.

"Where are you going?" he asked sleepily.

Hermione turned to look at him as she buttoned up her blouse, "I need to get home to dress for work.

What time do you finish?"

"4pm. What about you?"

"Same… but I have to see some Doctor for a check up. So I'll come here about six?"

Draco nodded and looked at her deep in thought, "Mione?"

"Hmm?"

"How about you move in here?"

Hermione sat up right from doing up her shoes and looked at Draco in surprise, "Say that again?"

"How about… you move in… here?"

"Well I… don't know what to say."

"Think about it. I love you and I really want us to take things to the next level."

Hermione smiled a little and leaned down and pecked him on the lips, "I will. See you later."

Draco smiled and mumbled a goodbye before Hermione left. He rolled over onto his stomach, his eyes closed to catch another hour's worth of sleep.

Everything was perfect… if you excluded the whole Clarissa is alive and Terri is insane stuff.

!Z!

"Where have you been all night?" asked Gavin exiting his bedroom and noticing his sister entering her room to freshen up.

Hermione stopped dead in her tracks and turned to Gavin, looking calm, "At Draco's."

"All night?"

"Does it honestly matter Gavin? I'm 22, he's my boyfriend."

Gavin sighed, "Sorry. I was just worried you'd gotten hurt or something when you left."

Hermione smiled guiltily, "Sorry about that. I should've been more reasonable."

"Hey, it's okay. So how about I cook some pancakes for breakfast and you shower?"

Hermione smiled, "Sure – and don't go slack on the size of those pancakes either, I want pancakes not pikelets!"

Gavin laughed as he headed down the stairs, "You sound exactly like Amy!"

"What about me?" mumbled Amy looking her normal self in the morning, dressing gown, messy hair, and sleepy eyes.

"Morning Amy," greeted Hermione before entering her room and shutting the door.

Amy's eyes widened at the closed door before she rushed down the stairs to the kitchen.

Gavin was standing at the fridge grabbing the milk and eggs. Amy stood impatiently at the kitchen bench, rapping her nails on it waiting. Gavin shut the fridge and turned to see his wife looking at him expectantly.

"Good morning love," said Gavin placing the ingredients on the bench.

"Well? When did Hermione get back? Is she okay? Where has she been?" asked Amy all at once.

Gavin sighed and looked Amy square in the eye, "Amy she is 22, she is a responsible adult and is capable of looking after herself."

"Gavin she woke from a coma nearly a week or so ago! She still has the mind of a 18 year old!"

"When she was eighteen she was mature for her age. To me she is acting exactly how a 22 year old should."

Amy sighed and sat down on a stool, "I'm sorry… but I worry about her Gavin. She is like a sister to me."

Gavin smiled and walked around the bench to Amy. Amy turned on the stool to face him and wrapped her arms around his waist. Gavin hugged her and placed a kiss on her head.

"Just loosen up a bit on her. She will tell you everything if you do okay?"

Amy nodded and Gavin pulled away returning to cooking, "Pancakes?"

"You mean pikelets. Or shall we call them Gavin's miniature pancakes?" joked Amy.

"That sounds like a business plan," came Hermione's voice as she entered the kitchen brushing her hair, "You could sell potions and pancakes."

Amy chuckled, "Potion's 'n' Pancakes – the miniature style!"

"You two are so alike it scares me," laughed Gavin mixing the flour in with the rest of the ingredients.

!Z!

The day passed and Hermione made her way to her Doctors appointment on the sixth floor. She was to see Doctor L. Sage. Hermione held onto her work robe in one arm as she reached the nurses station on that floor.

"Hello," said the burgundy haired middle aged women, "Can I 'elp you?"

Hermione smiled, "My name is Hermione Granger and I have a doctors appointment with Doctor Sage at 4:30pm."

"I zee. Jus' take a seat and I vill call you in a few minutes."

Hermione nodded and walked to the seating area where two other people were waiting. With a sigh she picked up a Witch Weekly from 1988 and raised her eyebrows to see a young couple on the cover.

"Narcissa and Lucius – Inside There Romance."

Hermione flicked to the page and was about to start reading when her name was called out. With a sigh Hermione tossed the magazine and stood up and turned to see Lynette smiling warmly at her. Hermione bit her lower lip and followed the young doctor into her office.

"Hello Hermione," said Lynette directing her to sit in a spare seat, "I'm Lynette, Harry's girlfriend. He told me all about you."

"Really?" said Hermione in what she hoped was a calm and normal voice, "Nice to see you again."

Lynette smiled, "Now Amy asked me too see you – you were meant to be seen by another Doctor, but I told her a was more than happy to see you. So how has everything been since the coma?"

"As normal as life could possibly be for me."

"Uh huh. Care to explain at all?"

"No."

"Right. Well, Amy told me you haven't experienced any headaches. So that is good."

Hermione smiled, she wasn't game to tell Lynette anything, and how was she meant to know if she was Clarissa or not? She couldn't trust her not one bit.

"Okay well," said Lynette smiling, "I'd love to chat but I have other things to get too, things to plan and all. So I shall see you next Tuesday okay?"

"Yeah. That's fine."

Lynette smiled as did Hermione and hurriedly Hermione left the office, dashing down the corridor to the elevators.

!Z!

Hermione apperated to Draco's apartment as soon as she got the chance too. He was in the kitchen when she arrived but came out to greet as soon as she arrived.

Hermione looked at him her eyes wide, "Lynette is my Doctor."

"What?" asked Draco unsure if he heard her right.

"Lynette, Harry's girlfriend is my Doctor. How am I meant to face her every week if she could be Clarissa?"

"Come on. We need to see Dumbledore now. Things are getting out of hand."

Hermione nodded and took hold of Draco's hand tightly.

Both closed there eyes and were gone with a crack.

!Z!

"Knock, knock!" rang Ginny's voice in the hall of the Granger place, "Anybody home?"

"Ginny!" smiled Amy walking out of the kitchen to give her a hug, "How are you?"

"Very well. Blaise is at work and I was bored at home. So how have you been?"

Amy turned and motioned Ginny to follow her into the kitchen where she was preparing a roast dinner of pork roast, baked potatoes and pumpkin, mixed vegetables and gravy.

Ginny sat on one of the two stools by the bench and watched as Amy peeled the potatoes.

"I'm doing good. I return to work tomorrow night – I have the night shift. Gavin is out the back tending to the garden for some ingredients to make more potions and Hermione is at her Doctor's appointment."

Ginny nodded than frowned, "What do you think of Carla?"

"Really nice. I like her. What about you?"

"She's nice, odd but nice. Lynette is nice too."

Amy nodded, "Perfect for Harry. Trustworthy too, unlike Lavender. Fancy cheating on Harry with bloody Terry Boot. Honestly that girl will fall pregnant before she is 24."

Ginny just nodded and looked out the window. Amy noticed her silence and put down her knife and walked toward the bench, which Ginny was sitting behind and looked at her curiously.

"Ginny? Are you okay?" asked Amy frowning.

Ginny looked at Amy, she was pale white, "I think I may be pregnant."

!Z!

Draco and Hermione stepped into the castle both looking at the scenery inside. They'd both missed this place greatly and memories of their years attending the school swirled through their minds. A small smile crossed Hermione's face as she caught sight of Rubeus Hagrid.

"Hagrid!" cried Hermione running over to him.

Hagrid turned at her voice, with a big smile on his face, "'Ermione! Wha' a surprise!"

Hagrid and Hermione hugged for a few seconds before breaking apart smiling at each other.

"Look at yer!" beamed Hagrid, "Jus' as I remember yer!"

"It's really good to see you Hagrid. How have you been?" asked Hermione.

"Good, good. Still teachin'. How have things been for yer?"

"Great. Everybody is pretty much the same."

"That's' good. What brings yer here?"

"Draco and I need to see Albus. Do you know the password by any chance?"

"Tha' I do know. It's Nasonex."

"Thanks Hagrid. I'd best go. It was good to see you!"

"Good to see yer too. See yer roun'."

Hermione said bye and ran back over to Draco smiling. Draco smiled, happy to see his girlfriend cheered up and both walked up the staircase towards Dumbledore's office.

They both walked in silence absorbed in their private thoughts, both of which were of their time at Hogwarts. Hermione smiled as she remembered all the petty arguments her and Ron were famous for, and at the time Harry returned to the Common Room in their fifth year after Cho had kissed him.

Draco smiled at little at the time when Blaise had been showing off in their third year and winded up tripping down the entrance hall staircase, breaking his arm in two places. And also the first time him and Hermione kissed.

"It's good to be back," said Hermione quietly, "Even if it is for unpleasant reasons."

Draco nodded, "True. Remember when Umbridge taught here? And all of those rules she created?"

Hermione chuckled, "You were smitten with her though."

"I was young and stupid."

Hermione smiled, "I know."

"You weren't meant to agree about the stupid part," replied Draco poking her in the ribs.

Hermione laughed, "Oh well."

Draco pulled her towards him and kissed her on the cheek, "Your lucky I love you… or I might've done something."

Hermione rolled her eyes smiling, "Threatening me now? Five points from Slytherin."

They both continued walking, mucking around as if they were in their seventh year still.

Ten minutes later both stood in front of the Gargoyle. Hermione bit her lower lip nervously as Draco muttered the password he'd heard Hagrid tell Hermione.

"Ready?" asked Draco looking at Hermione.

Hermione nodded and followed Draco onto the revolving staircase – now there was no turning back.

!Z!

Amy grabbed Ginny's hand and pulled her upstairs to hers and Gavin's bedroom and sat her on the bed before hurrying into their ensuite bathroom. She knelt down and opened the cupboard door under the vanity and pulled out a vial of clear potion labelled, "The Truthful Pregnancy Test." Last year Amy had thought she was pregnant and brought it.

After grabbing the vial she grabbed a water glass Gavin used at nighttime for a drink. She rinsed it out and poured some inside it and than grabbed a pin from the container on the rack above the mirror. She hurried back out to Ginny with the glass, which contained the potion and the pin.

"Let's be sure about your statement hmm?" said Amy sitting beside Ginny.

"What is the pin for?" asked Ginny nervously.

"Well, when you are pregnant there are more antibodies in your blood. So all you need to do is prick yourself with the pin and drop some into the glass. If the potion goes blue you are, if it stays clear with just the blood swirling in it… than we know you aren't."

Ginny nodded and took the pin from Amy. Nervously she pricked her finger and squeezed the blood from it into the glass. Two drops plopped into the glass. Worriedly she looked at Amy.

"Give it two minutes to mix okay?" said Amy soothingly.

"What if I am pregnant, Amy? How am I meant to tell Blaise? I don't even know if he wants kids! I'm only 21, he's just 22. We are only engaged. Not married."

"Blaise will be over the moon, I'm sure of it! Now you need to stop worrying and calm yourself, my dear."

Ginny nodded and looked at the glass, as did Amy.

!Z!

"Hello Hermione, Draco," greeted Dumbledore as Hermione and Draco sat in front of his desk on comfortable chairs.

"Hello Albus," replied Draco seeing as Hermione was too nervous to speak.

"What brings you here to Hogwarts?"

"Hermione has something important, very important that she needs to tell you."

"Hermione?"

Hermione looked up at her former Headmaster, her heart was pounding in her chest a mile a minute. She swallowed a lump in her throat before coughing to clear it.

"Clarissaisalive," she said quickly.

"Sorry?"

"Clarissa… she is alive."

Dumbledore leant back on his chair with a sigh.

"When the Malfoy Manor started to collapse and before I blacked out… I saw her disappear."

"I see."

"But there is more. She is back here in England, and... She could be dating either Harry or Percy."

Dumbledore leaned forward, "What do you mean, Hermione?"

"She is living in disguise. As either Carla or Lynette."

"How do you know this?"

"I went back to where the Malfoy Manor was. I was looking for her, but when I saw what had happened to it I knew she wouldn't return there… but she was there, as herself. And she told me. She told me she was either Lynette or Carla. But I don't know which one and it's hard because Lynette is my Doctor and Carla is getting married to Percy! Plus Lynette is dating Harry so everyone is basically in danger," now Hermione was getting hysterical as she stood up pacing, "And it is all my Merlin damn fault! She was right there in front of me! I could've killed her, but I didn't and I haven't a clue why I didn't bloody do it! Instead I let the Devil get away from me putting everyone at risk! I am so bloody stupid!"

Draco stood up and wrapping his arms around Hermione, "You are not stupid. Not one bit stupid."

"Draco is right Hermione. You were merely in shock to see her. But now that I know she is back and has weaved her way into the lives of those you who know everything about you we need to work out a way to figure out who she is, without making anyone notice anything suspicious. Especially Clarissa."

"But what about Hermione having to see Lynette?" asked Draco.

"You must still see her Hermione. Do not stop otherwise it will cause Amy to ask more questions. She already suspects something. We must keep this between the three of us for now."

Hermione nodded.

"And I think it would be best if you started to use stronger magic to strengthen your power again. At the moment it is very weak, so even if you did try to kill Clarissa nothing major would've happened."

Hermione nodded again, "Thankyou Albus."

"You can visit me anytime Hermione. My door is always open."

Hermione smiled and both her and Draco left.

!Z!

Ginny reached out and grabbed the glass. Her and Amy had been starring at the glass for ten minutes.

"Amy, what does yellow mean?" asked Ginny in a rather high voice.

"Twins Ginny… twins."
