Chapter 8: Funerals and Classes
!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*
Recap-
*I don't know didn't Madame Pomfrey said I would wake up in a few hours?* Hermione asked.
*Yea* Draco answered, still holding Hermione's hand.
*Go back to class, I don't want you to miss anything on my account, so don't worry I'll see you at Dinner* Hermione said.
*ok bye* Hermione said.
*Bye* Draco said as he walked out of the room, his class right now was potions so he could get away with being lazy in that class. 'I'm just glad she's alright' he thought. Before he went to potions class he went to the kitchens where he always got free food from the house elves and ordered some red cordial, his favorite drink.
When dreaming I'm guided through another world
Time and time again
At sunrise I fight to stay asleep
'Cause I don't want to leave the comfort of this place
'Cause there's a hunger, a longing to escape
From the life I live when I'm awake
So let's go there
Let's make our escape
Come on, let's go there
Let's ask can we stay?
Can you take me higher?
To the place where blind men see
Can you take me higher?
To the place with golden streets
Although I would like our world to change
It helps me to appreciate
Those nights and those dreams
But, my friend, I'd sacrifice all those nights
If I could make the Earth and my dreams the same
The only difference is
To let love replace all our hate
So let's go there
Let's make our escape
Come on, let's go there
Let's ask can we stay?
Up high I feel like I'm alive for the very first time
Up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams
And make them mine
Creed- Higher
It was about a week after the 'flying incident' but everyone just assumed that Oliver put a levitating spell on her but when the bludger hit him he lost his concentration. Hermione was back to her regular schedule with classes; she made up all of her work and did next weeks homework. Draco and Hermione also spent a lot of time together in their common room studying together. Draco spent a lot of time together with Hermione just about everywhere, the common room, doing homework together in library and their excuse to tell people was 'Head stuff' so I guess you could say they were an official couple just not telling anyone of course. It was 5:30 when Draco woke up and started getting ready, today was his father's funeral and he had to go there even though he disliked his father but he was doing it for his mother's sake. So he put on a pair of black slacks and a black polo shirt and went downstairs to where Dumbledore was waiting for him. Draco quickly wrote Hermione a note telling her that he would be back by 8:00 so they could go to classes together. He placed the note on the table and turned to look at Dumbledore, Dumbledore gave him a smile.
"So I take it the soul-mates are finally getting along?" Dumbledore asked. Draco just smiled and nodded and proceeded to the door. They walked out together and down the 10 flights of stairs to the entrance of Hogwarts. They walked outside to where Draco thought would be the horseless carriage, but instead Dumbledore kept on walking towards the path of Hogsmeade. Draco gave Dumbledore a weird look but decided to follow where ever Dumbledore was taking him. They reached Hogsmeade and kept on walking until they reached a apartment building. They stepped inside and Dumbledore turned around to talk to Draco.
"Now Mr. Malfoy you are to Floo from here into your Manor to attend your father's funeral and you must Floo back and be here at precisely 7:45 do you understand?" Dumbledore said.
"Yes Professor" Draco answered. Dumbledore handed him the Floo powder, Draco reached into the vase and picked up a handful of the powder. He threw it into the fire and said perfectly "Malfoy Manor!"
Draco was swarming threw bright green lights until he finally stopped. He looked around and saw that he was back at his manor. He dusted himself off and walked out of the fire place. He looked around and saw that he was in his fathers study room. He walked out of the room and downstairs where he saw his mother dressed in all black crying in front of people. Draco quickly came to her aide and embraced her into a hug. They sat down next to each other waiting for the ceremony to begin; he looked around and tried to find out who was here. He saw a lot of father's friends from the ministry including Cornelius Fudge. He turned around again to face the minister as he began his prayers for his father.
*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*
Hermione woke up and turned to look at her clock, it read 6:30 she knew she had to get start getting ready for classes. She went downstairs to go take a shower and to get ready. She decided instead of taking a shower to take a bubble bath since she had time to kill, with a flick of her hands she turned on the bath faucets and let the water fill up the Jacuzzi. She put in the berry scented soap bubbles and let them rise to the surface. She slipped in to the bath tub and let the aroma clear her head. The bath was still cold so she heated it up with her fire power. Once it was warm she lied back and let the aroma take her.
*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*
Once the funeral was over Draco got up and said good bye to his mother, they embraced each other into a hug.
"Have you found her yet Draco" his mother asked. Draco was a little taken back by what his mother meant but then he understood.
"Yes mother I found her" he answered. Narcissa had tears swell up in her eyes again she was so proud of her son for finding her.
"Is she everything you wished for Draco" Narcissa asked. Draco nodded his head and said his last good bye to her before heading back towards his father's study.
"I'll see you soon mother, don't worry about me" Draco said as he walked into the fire. Narcissa waived goodbye to her son as he was surrounded by green flames and then he disappeared.
Draco opened his eyes to find Dumbledore standing in front of him when he opened his eyes.
"7:45 exactly very good Mister Malfoy, now come on I think that somebody is waiting for you back at school." Dumbledore said. Draco looked over at Dumbledore and nodded and followed behind him back into the school.
!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*
Draco said goodbye to Dumbledore and walked into his common room he saw that the bathroom light was on so he thought that Hermione was in there. He knocked on the door to see everything was all right.
"Hermione are you in there?" Draco asked. No answer. Draco was getting worried so he took out his wand and said 'alohamora' and the door opened. He looked inside only to find a sleeping Hermione in the bath tub. Draco laughed to himself. He walked over towards her and shook her shoulders.
"Hermione wake up" he said. Hermione started to come through, she opened her eyes and looked up at Draco and started to scream. She waived her arm and Draco went flying out of the bathroom and landed on the couches, he turned back to look at the door and it slammed shut. After about 5 minutes, Hermione came out with her hair all nice and straight and had her robes on. She went over and sat on the couch opposite to him while Draco just looked at her while icing his wrist with his powers.
"I'm sorry Draco I guess I just got a little scared when you woke me up, I mean come on I was in a bath tub naked with you standing over me, if you were a girl wouldn't you do the same thing" Hermione asked. Draco took a minute to think about this and said.
"To throw me across the bathroom?" Draco said with a sneer. Hermione gave him a innocent look.
"I panicked sorry" she said. Draco just smiled at her.
"So how was it?" Hermione asked. Draco knew what she meant she was talking about the funeral.
"It was ok I mean I saw my mother and the rest of my family, and I had to say something about my father, and that was about it" Draco said. Hermione saw the hurt in his eyes so she didn't push the subject further.
"So are we going to go to breakfast or what I'm starving" Hermione said. She grabbed Draco's hand and headed him out the door. They decided to eat in the kitchens today since they wanted to eat together. As they were walking down the hallways they noticed something pinned on the bulletin board.
HOGSMEADE TRIP THIS WEEKEND FOR EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO BE READY FOR THE CHRISTAMS BALL!!
Hermione and Draco started laughing as they read the sign, since they snuck into Hogsmeade along time ago when everything was still on sale; now the prices will be higher then ever. They were walking towards the painting with the pear on it when Draco started to notice something different about Hermione.
"Hermione did you know that your red highlights are starting to turn blonde?" Draco asked. Hermione nodded her head in return.
"Yes I asked mother about it, and she said it was natural, that I was a dirty blonde anyways, she said that was my natural hair color" Hermione said. They were greeted by the house elves as they walked in and sat down and were served with everything that they ordered.
After they finished it was already time for classes and there first class was potions so they decided to walk together until they were close to the Potions room. They entered the room separately and went to there assign seats. Harry and Ron were already there so she sat in her seat next to them, as Draco did to Crabbe and Goyle. Hermione was talking to Harry and Ron about if they finally were able to finish their homework for Professor McGonagall, when Professor Snape came in.
"Everyone get out your textbooks and turn to page 891 and get to work on the levitating potion" Snape said. There were groans and moans all over the room as everyone started to pair up. Snape saw how everyone was pairing up and shook his head.
"Because I feel like it I'm going to pair you up with the opposite house" he said. After this there was even more groans and moans.
Let's see . . . Potter and Goyle, Weasley and Crabbe, Granger and Malfoy, Parkinson and Brown, Blaise and Patil . . ." when he finished putting everyone together, they all moved to sit next to each other. Draco and Hermione put on mean faces but they were laughing with each other on the inside and were happy they got picked to work together. They got all the ingredients together and put it into the cauldron. They were working on their potions for an half an hour before Snape said that they should be finished by now and to test it.
"Ok I'm inspecting Miss Granger you will test it for me" Snape said. Hermione got a glass and poured the potion inside it and drank it. Within a few minutes Hermione started to rise in the air, she felt like she was flying, but she couldn't move her body only to levitate it, so she decide to use some of her powers into making her move and she was flying all across the room. Harry and Ron who had to test their potions too, were trying to move and fly like Hermione but they could only move up and down. Snape saw this and said that the levitating spells where off in two minutes, Hermione counted the minutes that she had been flying but she didn't have to when she started to descend slowly to the ground. She went back and sat at her desk while enjoying her flying experience. As soon as she sat down the bell rung and the students were dismissed from the classroom.
