Synopsis: Last time, we left off with Hermione singing Lily a song,
there's really no segue into this chapter. Draco's still unconscious,
Harry's still gone. This one's a bit long-ish, enjoy!
A week passed, Hermione was spending most of her time in the Hospital Wing. No one really missed her. The only two that would have noticed she was gone, Ron and Ginny, knew why she was there. She had become close to Lily Malfoy. They spent time playing together, but what they really loved to do was read. Hermione was happy to find that Lily was as inquisitive as Hermione was when she was 5. Hermione was reading Lily one of her favorite Muggle books called Matilda by Roald Dahl.
Hermione had also told Narcissa about the yearbook she found on Draco's shelf. Narcissa asked Hermione to bring it down, they spent an afternoon looking at it, Narcisssa telling Hermione stories about her days at Hogwarts. As Hermione found out, Draco's and Harry's mothers were quite fond of terrorizing the Hogwarts student body in their youth.
"I'm sure Sirius and Remus have told you lot about how mischivous they were. Well, that's not really the truth, my dear."
"No?" Hermione giggled.
"Ha! They wouldn't know how to find a secret passage if it hit them in the face! That map they made, the-"
"Marauder's Map," Hermione filled in.
"Yes! That was it. Well! Lily and I found a good number of those passages. The one in the old witch's hump was our favorite. They liked to pretend that they were all soooo clever! I mean, Lily and I figured out that Remus was a werewolf a few months before those gits did!"
"What about what happened with them and Snape?"
"Oh, that. Well, that was quite the event. It happened our seventh year, I believe. Actually, Snape hadn't always been on bad terms with the four of them. It was Lucius that they never got on with. That's why Snape was spying on Lupin, Lucius told him to. Snape just needed a sense of belonging so badly, is what I gathered. He was my only friend in Slytherin, you know, and has been my only friend for the past 18 years. I knew what he was doing between Dumbledore and Voldemort. But since they think he's a Death Eater, I could still talk to him. But, he's a good man. But when he started to play lackey to Lucius, then the Marauders decided to take him out of their good graces, and so here we are now, I suppose."
"Oh, I see."
"So, Draco told me that you two are going to Venice for a conference?"
"Yeah-well, if he-which he will! So, yes, we're going in January. I've never been to Venice, only Rome."
"It's just lovely there. One summer. Lily came to visit me at my family's estate in France, and we took a trip to Italy. She remarked that it was the loveliest place she'd ever seen. We said if James and Sirius knew what they were doing, they should just take us there! Well, you know how girls talk about marriage and idiotic things like that all the time." Narcissa laughed, "Oh, we were so naïve then- it's just funny to think about, really! Can you imagine, Sirius in a gondola-" She abruptly broke off, and looked at Hermione, who's jaw was swinging open.
"YOU and SIRIUS??" Hermione squawked, staring at her incredulously.
"Ohhhh, PLEASE don't tell anyone! Draco doesn't even know, I think he'd die of shock!" Mrs. Malfoy was blushing the deepest shade of red Hermione'd ever seen a non-Weasley blush.
Hermione giggled, "So was it weird seeing him here?"
"Oh, you have NO idea! It was all kind of tragic, in a teenage way. We had to break up when I started being friends with Lucius. I was just so- infatuated with the idea of being friends with Lucius, that I let Sirius go," she said sadly.
"Well, he's single, and you're single! I don't see a problem here," Hermione said slyly.
"Oh, that was a long time ago, Hermione! I'm sure he doesn't feel that way anymore."
"Ah, but you don't deny it!!"
"Well-this conversation is entirely irrelevant!"
Hermione laughed, "OK, OK, whatever you say, Mrs. Bla- er, Malfoy."
Narcissa looked at her with a smirk, and shook her head.
"Ooh, now I know where Draco gets that smirk!"
The women turned when they heard footsteps approaching. Professor McGonagall appeared from behind the curtain.
"Hello, Professor," Hermione said.
"Hello, Professor," echoed Narcissa.
"Miss LeFevre- Narcissa, it's been over twenty years since you've been a student here, you can call me Minerva," McGonagall said with a laugh. "I'm just here to see how young Mister Malfoy is, and to deliver you this post, Miss Granger, it came for you over breakfast."
Hermione took the letter, and said, "Draco's doing OK. There's not much we can do until the plant is ready."
"I see. Well, have you been getting those Muggle tape-recordings of the lessons from Mister Weasley?"
"Yes, Professor."
"She listens to them quite faithfully, Minerva. I've actually picked a few things back up!"
"Excellent! Well, I must go, I have a room full of second year Hufflepuffs just dying with anticipation to transfigure a spoon into a fork! Goodbye ladies."
"Where's Lily?" Hermione asked.
"Oh, she's off with Molly, poor dear! You'd think that after seven children, she'd be sick of them!"
"She's such a sweet girl."
"She's quite taken with you, really. You're the big sister that Draco never quite was," she laughed. "But, really, I'm surprised, she loves Draco, but that's really about it. He's the only person she behaves for, besides you, that is. Actually, if I may tell you a secret-"
"Ooh! I love secrets!"
"Draco sings to her, too."
"He SINGS to her?!" Hermione said incredulously.
"He's got a lovely baritone voice, really. I'm always disappointed that he never show it off. I don't really think it meshes with that Slytherin Tough Guy image."
Hermione laughed, and turned to look at Draco, still ying on the bed, motionless. His lips were still quite bluish. Hermione thought how peaceful and handsome he looked. 'He doesn't have his hair all crunchy' she thought, 'He may try to deny it, but I know he uses Muggle hair gel.' His arm was covered in a bandage, the bleeding had slowed considerably. It only bled sporadically, not enough to hurt him more, but enough to keep him in his present condition.
Hermione silently stared at Draco. Reflexively, she reached out and touched his bandaged arm gingerly. Softly running her fingers over the cloth.
"I suppose some one ought to tell you about that sometime," Narcissa sighed.
"I-I wasn't going to ask, I don't know if it's my business."
"Well, dear, you're with him the most, I think you deserve to know." Narcissa got up, and walked to the fireplace. She threw some power in.
"Sev?"
Suddenly Snape's head appeared in the fire, "Yes, Narcissa?"
"Could you please come up some time soon? When it's convenient, of course."
"I take it that it's time to tell Miss Granger?"
"Mm hmm."
"Sure thing, Cissa. I'll be up in a few minutes."
"Thanks Sev." His head disappeared with a puff.
"Why didn't you and Professor Snape ever?"
"Oh, no! Ick! Sev is like my brother. I know he feels the same way, too. I always knew he fancied one girl, though, still does I'd wager. But that story, my dear, is for another day!"
Narcissa stood up, "I'm going to get some fresh air. I'll come back after you've spoken with Severus." She left the room quietly.
Hermione suddenly remembered the letter in her hand. She saw Harry's handwriting and opened it.
Dear Mione-
Hi! How is everything at Hogwarts? I hope you, Ron, and Ginny are well. Everything is fine here. Grandma Dursley's funeral was today, I had to see Aunt Marge again, but she didn't dare say anything in from of Sirius! We are leaving for London in a day or two, so I'll be back in about a week. I really miss you, and can't wait to see you when I get back! I'll talk to you soon.
~Harry
Hermione folded the note back up as she heard unmistakeable footsteps approaching.
"Hello Professor," she said, not even turning around.
"Yes, I've noticed that by the second year, students recognize my footsteps. My little hint for them to shut up and sit down, I suppose." Snape gave a slight laugh, and sat down on one of the chairs.
Hermione looked up at him. She didn't know if she wanted to hear what he had to say.
"Well, Miss Granger we might as well get this over with. Prior to the branding fo the Dark Mark, a Death Eater-to-be is subjected to the Eter Inscribio curse. It makes the Dark Mark impossible to remove. This curse is extremely potent dark magic. Even if you look at some former Death Eaters that have tried to remove their Dark Mark, they could peel the skin off of their arm, but when it grew back, the Mark would remain. The counter-curse has never been found, and no way to stop its effects has been either. Now, at Draco's induction-yes, I was there- they performed the curse on him as usual. The way the Dark Mark is administered is that Voldemort and the new Death Eater's sponsor, so to speak, both place their wand tips in the inductees arm, and recite the spell simultaneously. In this case, Lucius was Draco's sponsor. I knew Draco didn't want to become a Death Eater, I obvoiusly couldn't do anything to stop it, though." He paused and looked up at Hermione.
She looked back at him with a fearful but steadfast gaze and nodded for him to go on.
Snape took a breath, and continued. "So, Lucius and Voldemort walked over to Draco. I swear to you, Miss Granger, I have seen people being tortured beyond words and killed, but I have never, ever, seen any person with so much fear in their eyes as I saw in Draco. He held his arm out to them, and they put their wands on him, and began the curse. Suddenly, Draco looked straight at me, right in to my eyes, and he pulled his arm away. Lucius shouted at him, and told him to put his arm back. Draco looked his father straight in the eye and told him no. Voldemort looked at Lucius, and said that he had failed him. Lucius began to beg Voldemort, and then they began yelling, and a huge commotion broke out. That's when Draco ran. Lucius saw him, and only got the "Avada" out before he was dead himself. Knott asked Voldemort if we should follow Draco, and Voldemort said no, because he knew Draco would be as good as dead anyway."
"Well, I don't understand, really, how he could know what Draco would do."
"It wouldn't matter, Miss Granger. If the curse is not acted upon within 24 hours, the person begins to die slowly. It usually takes three or four months for the person to become completely dead. But they're usually brain dead after two or so."
"But, I don't understand, if this happened over the summer-"
"Nor do I Miss Granger. By all means, Draco should be dead or requiring Life-Sustaining Charms by now. I do not know how he is surviving, but we have to be thankful that he is. And, in two weeks we will know his fate. One interesting point to note is that, if a person is given Eter Inscribio they can not be killed by Avada Kedavra."
"But I thought nothing could stop the Killing Curse."
"Well, you see, Miss Granger, the person with the inactive Marking Curse would be dying anyway, and if they were given the Killing Curse, only the timing of Avada would be tampered with, and since the timing of a curse is relatively easy to change, it wouldn't STOP the Killing Curse, only slow it down, so it coincided with the Marking Curse. Now, I do not know if that effect will still work if Mister Malfoy recuperates."
"WHEN, he recuperates."
Snape gave Hermione a pained look. "Miss Granger, though I want Draco to recover as much as you do, we really have no reason to hope that this will work. I'm concocting this potion on a theory, and nothing more. While I have certainly researched it, I have very little evidence to suggest that it will work. There is a very small chance that Draco will be alive for another month, very small."
Hermione tried with all of her might to look brave, but she could not. Her lower liip began to quiver, and she looked down at the floor, her eyes welling up with tears.
"Do you have any other questions, Miss Granger?"
Hermione paused, "Do you think it was wise of Draco to do what he did? Running away?"
Snape remained silent for a moment, and with a slight shake in his voice, he said, "I have never been more proud of anyone before in my life, Miss Granger. Good bye." Snape walked quickly towards the door, and left.
