Chapter 9

"Hermione! We have about sixty people in our common room wanting to kill a couple of donkeys so if you could join us so we could get started, that would be great. Thanks." Draco called up the stairs.

"I'm almost done! I'll be down in a minute. Tell them about it."

"Okay. We're doing this because it's time Voldemort and my father died. They want me to become a Death Eater in June. Obviously I don't want to. If I do then I'll be seperated from Hermione and that would be bad, so..." About that time Hermione came down the stairs with a pile of books.

"Okay. All these have the spells, hexes, jinxes, and curses we need. We will teach you most of them but you can always look in the books. Lets see first of all what we would need to use. Draco who comes to the ceremony?"

"All Death Eaters who are still loyal and Voldemort." Draco said and looked at the crowd. "Good. No one flinched. That's important. What's even more important is that you don't flinch when you see him."

"Right. So people are the only living things at the ceremony. That means we don't have to learn as much. What about the Unforgivable Curses? Should we learn them?" Hermione asked looking at Draco.

"If we don't,let's say it won't be pretty because that's what they'll use on us. So I'd say, yeah we should probably learn them."

"Okay, well, umm...what should we do first? Rules! You can not say anything about this around the Slytherins. If one of them finds out its over. We have to have a name or some kind of secret code or something so no one can figure out what we're doing. Any ideas?" Hermione looked around to see everyone in deep thought.

"Okay! What if we did like the rock on sign?" Jake said.

"We could." Hermione said.

"What's that?" Draco asked.

"You put up your first and pinkie finger and hold your ring and middle finger down with your thumb. Like this." Hermione said and grabbed Draco's hand.

"Oh. Yeah. I suppose that would work. We would know what it means but no on else would. Okay so everyone agreed?" Everyone agreed. "Good. Now, umm..."

"We need to stratagize. We can't have sixty people flocking to the Head dorm every night at eight. What if I asked Dumbledore to make the seventh years' curfew at 11:30? Then we could do, say, Gryffindor sixth years at eight for an hour, half the seventh year Gryffindors for an hour and the other half for an hour. Then another night have half the Ravenclaws for an hour and the other half for an hour. The same with Huffelpuffs. Would that work?" Hermione finished and looked around.

"I think that would work. How about we seperate into the halves so everyone knows when to come?"

"Good idea. Gryffindor sixth years over there." Hermione pointed to a far wall. "Gryffindor seventh years about five feet away from the sixth years. Ravenclaw, five feet from them. Huffelpuff, five feet from the Raveclaws. Okay now, all Gryffindor sixth years can come because there's not that many. Leave at different times though. About three minutes apart. When the sixth years get back-" Hermione seperated the seventh years. "You lot come. A couple at a time. Three minutes apart. When they get back, the other half comes. a couple at a time. Three minutes apart. Come on Monday nights. Ravenclaws, Wednesday nights," Hermione divided them, "You lot first. couple at a time. Three minutes apart. When they get back the next few leave. Same with Huffelpuff." Hermione divided them, "Remember which half you're in." Mean while Draco was talking to Harry.

"Look at her. She's so perfect in everything she does. She's not afraid to take over. She's not afraid of anything." Draco said looking at Hermione.

"Yeah she is, mate. She has a fear. One so bad she can't stand it." Harry said and Draco jerked his attention to Harry.

"What? What is she scared of?"

"She's scared she'll lose you. She said once you find out how amazing you really are, you'll leave her for someone better."

"She said that?"

"Yeah."

"There's no one better than her. I wouldn't ever leave her. If she was gone it'd be like asking for a death wish."

"Don't tell me, mate. Tell her."

"I will...after everyone leaves."

"Good. She really likes you."

"I really like her."

"Draco! Come here please!" Hermione called

"I'm coming! Just a second! Thanks Harry."

"Anytime." Draco went to see what Hermione needed.

"Oh my gosh! I didn't know all this would be this exausting!" Hermione plopped down on the couch after most of the people had left. The only ones that remained were Harry, Ginny, Ron, and Lavender.

"Yeah. How are we going to do this till June?" Draco said plopping down right next to Hermione.

"We'll make it." Hermione answered.

"Well we better get back. Bye Hermione. See you Draco." Harry said and the four walked to the portrait hole. Harry turned before walking out of the portrait hole and nodded to Draco. Once the portrait hole had closed Draco turned to Hermione.

"Hermione...are you afraid I'll leave you?" Draco said. He knew it was a little straight forward but he wanted to know. Hermione looked at him for a second.

"Yes."

"Why would you think I would leave you?"

"Because...because you're perfect. You're smart, you're funny, you're good-looking, and once you see that you'll leave me for someone better." Hermione was crying now. Draco pulled her closer to him.

"Hermione, I'm not perfect. You're the on thats perfect and if anything, you'll leave me for someone better. You're amazing. You're smarter than me, you're halarious, you're beautiful, and you deserve someone better than me."

"But I want to be with you. I love you."

"I love you too. If you leave, I won't have a reason to live anymore."

"I won't leave. Ever." Hermione kissed Draco. "It's late. I'm tired. I'm going to bed."

"Okay. I'll see you in the morning."
