To bewitch the mind

A/N: now this is Hermione's point of view now and Draco's as well to separate their different thoughts and things there will be just a small black line like this: ---------- And when it is a different time change or a dream then it will be separated like this: ~*~*~*~*~*~* but longer. Ok that was so that you knew because I was getting confused myself so just to clear things up with you. Also Hermione and Draco will be starting the same day so everything is now even.

The other half

Hermione woke with a heavy gloom still upon her. Her dreams were not with him but full of death and decay and Ron's voice looming from the darkness screeching 'why did you do it Hermione? Try to kill yourself' Over and over again those words repeated themselves with Hermione screaming back 'I didn't! I didn't' over and over again as well. She was glad to wake although she knew she would have to face everybody. It was a Sunday and Hermione hadn't done any of her homework and knew she better do so soon. But at the moment she was to comfortable in her bad and to worried about seeing everyone to move. But she still had a nagging feeling at the back of her mind. She still didn't know who he was and she wanted to find out, he knew her name. With a quick jump she suddenly remembered that it was in fact a week till Christmas and that she didn't have to do here homework, but then there was another pang of guilt, she had got no-ones presents yet. But at least there was a Hogsmeade trip on Monday.

Hermione then remembered that after Christmas the new head girl would be chosen and she hoped it was going to be her. She didn't see why not but thought that she might have a miserable time with Malfoy the head boy then depressed her thoughts at once.

With much sighs Hermione dragged herself out of bed and into the shower where she stayed for about 10 minutes just letting the water wash over her as if ridding her of all the bad thoughts that she had been thinking of over the past two days. After another 5 minutes she finally remembered that she was supposed to be washing her hair and hurriedly done it. Hermione went back to her dormitory once she had finished and done a quick spell to dry her hair and then changed into a tank top and some jeans for the day.

Hermione ran down to the common room and was surprised to find that no one was there, she felt a bit hurt that Harry and Ron was not there to see if she was ok now after her traumatic week. With another quick glance around the still deserted common room Hermione pushed open the portrait and with her head bowed walked down to the great hall.

Hermione walked into the great hall and was still even more surprised to see that no one was in the great hall either. Now Hermione was a little scared. She quickly checked her watch to check that what the time was and to her surprise she saw it was 10:10. There was no one about, not even the teachers. Hermione let out a small whimper and found that it was strangely magnified and echoed back at her. A new sound met her ears and it was footsteps. Her heart leapt strangely and found that he noise was coming from the other side of the doors and with a sigh of relief she flung them open to reveal non other than . . . Malfoy!

His head was sore and he was sure that was from his father so with a moan he opened his eyes and this time was not surprised to see himself in the hospital wing. He looked at his watch and he found that it was just before nine. He called for Madam Pomfrey and she came scuttling to him from another side of the room.

"Well Mister Malfoy nice to see you awake! Do you know that you slept for over 14 hours! Well everything seems to be in order you can go after you have eaten your breakfast" Madam Pomfrey told him.

"Well thank you Madam Pomfrey and are you feeling okay now? Draco asked with what almost sounded like concern in his voice.

"Yes I am fine Mister Malfoy and would you please hurry up so I can get rid of you and clean you bed!" she said with a smile on her face.

So Draco immediately followed her orders and ate his breakfast and got dressed into some clothes which he summoned down (black jeans and a black t-shirt) and hurried out of the hospital wing.

After wandering around the passages Draco remembered that he had wanted to go to the library to check out his mark. HE headed in the direction of the library and after about a few minutes walk he walked through the doors and suddenly felt even quieter than before. He went and looked at a couple of books and found that he would probably be there all day. So with a bit of bravery told Madam Pince about the mark but of course leaving out the bit where it was on him. And after a couple of minutes searching Madam Pince found the book to an excited Draco and went back behind her desk. Draco then went to a table and started to read and if he wasn't so interested about the book then he would have noticed that even for a Sunday there was no one about but he was too absorbed.

He read in the book: this mark that is of a devil carrying an angel is a symbolic picture and is in two parts the first part is of the devil carrying an angel which is usually put on the male. There is another half to the drawing which is put on the female and the drawing is of the devil and the angel embracing each other. The only way the mark appears is when someone begins to change. After that the other half of the mark will appear on the other person who is also changing but does not know it yet but you will not know who it is until you have saved that other persons life whether in the past, present or future. Then that person is known as your sole mate and also you will spend eternity together unless one person refuses the love of the other then the person whose love has been denied will forever be in limbo once they have died which will be on the first full moon after their love was declared. To stop this, the person who denied the other persons love has to (this bit here has a really big smudge over it and no one can read it. Tragic huh?) Then the lovers will be bound together. The male will be from Slytherin (another big smudge and no one can read it damn the person who done it :p) this is a prophesy that was made and will happen when a person from the past will . . .

Here the page about the mark was torn off and could not explain anymore and Draco was still confused. He was going to save his sole mate, but who is it? With a horrible memory Draco remembered who it could be and shuddered at the thought. Pansy. He had saved her life once and she could not stop thanking and hanging onto him as though she was a devoted slave and was drooling over him for weeks. Why oh why did it have to be pansy that he saved? Couldn't it have been someone else? He didn't care who but Pansy? With another quick shudder Draco stowed the book under his robes and walked out of the library looking as guilt free as possible which wasn't very hard I mean he still had to be bad sometimes right?

So Draco walked back to the Slytherin common room intending to ask Pansy weather or not she had a tattoo like a devil and an angel embracing. He thought he better tell it to her like that because she wouldn't understand if he said it any other way. So he got to the blank wall and said the password (cunning) and walked inside. The first thing he noticed was that no one was there even though they should have been it was a Sunday. Every one would usually be lounging around in there looking for excuses not to do there homework. But no one was here he to felt a little hurt that no one was here t greet him. He called and no one answered. He smirked to himself and thought that they could be pulling a surprise for him and crept up to his room to surprise them! But as soon as he opened the door there was no one there. A little down hearted he went to check Pansy's room and when he opened the door sure enough there was Pansy still asleep at . . . (Draco quickly checks his watch) 09:45! He crept up on her and prodded her hard in the ribs.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! RAPE! Rape! Ra -"Screamed Pansy until Draco covered her mouth with his hands. Then she was quiet.

"Oh Draco! Why did you do that honey? You almost scared me to death!" Pansy asked him.

"Oh well you know just having a joke! Err Pansy why is there no one else here? Where is every one?" Draco asked.

"Well duh! I thought that you would know that! It is the first day of the holidays! Every one went outside to play in the mountains of snow that fell through the night! But I didn't go I didn't want to! I wanted to sleep and wait for you" Pansy said this in the air of someone who had just done all this bravely and expected a treat.

"Oh well that's good then! Pansy you don't have any tattoos do you?" Draco asked then held his breath while waiting for an answer.

"Well as a matter of fact I do! Do you wanna look? But without waiting for an answer Pansy started to pull up her trouser leg and on he ankle there was a tattoo. "Cute isn't it? I just love the way the Devil and the angel embrace! Draco? What's wrong love?"

Draco had gone a kind of green colour and then with not so much of a backwards glance or good bye he sped out of her room out of the portrait hole and down the corridor.

He decided that eh was hungry again and started to walk to the great hall. He glanced at his watch and saw that it was now 10:15 and found he was now even more hungry just looking at the time. So with his stomach growling he walked even faster to get to the great hall and found that he had started to run. He swept along the corridors as though he was being chased and with a sigh of relief he saw the great hall round the corner and then slowed down to a walk so that he wouldn't look to happy. As he reached out his hand to open the doors he jumped back in surprise as they had started to open themselves! As the door widened he made out a person standing on the other side so he walked in and found himself face to face with . . . Granger!

~*~*~*~*~*(now for this bit it is held in both their point of views)~*~*~*~*~*~

"Malfoy?"

"Granger?"

"What are you doing here?" They said together.

"Getting breakfast" They coursed again.

"What at this time!" They again spoke at the same time.

A bit of a grin was spreading over Malfoys face and it seemed to annoy Hermione although she could see the funny side of it. Now that she was relieved to see some one she was now annoyed it was Malfoy of all people.

"Malfoy where is everyone?" She asked him as nice as she could even though she detested him.

"Well they are . . . don't you know Granger?" He asked sensing some fun was about to be had.

"No I don't know tell me where they are!" Hermione replied keeping her voice as calm as she could but finding it hard as she also sensed that he was using it to his advantage.

"Well . . . that Granger would be telling" He smiled evilly leaning in he whispered " and why should I tell you?"

"Because Malfoy if you don't I will hex you! I will give you till three! Hermione replied coldly.

"One . . ."

"You wouldn't . . ."

"Two . . ."

"dare to do that . . .

"Three . . .

"you goody two shoes . . . mudblood!"

"Densaugeo!"

Malfoy then shut up because his teeth began to grow at an alarming rate and he then glared at her and tried to curse her back but couldn't pronounce his words properly, he then shot Hermione another icy glare as she was doubled up on the floor laughing so much that tears had come to her eyes, after a while Malfoy got her attention again and pointed to her then her wand then to himself. Hermione got the gist, however wanted a bit of fun first.

"What's that Malfoy? I didn't hear you say please" Hermione smirked at him. He then wrote in the air with his wand rather annoyed that he would be doing it then wrote extremely fast . . . 'please'.

"Ok then Malfoy since you asked nicely and then tell me where everyone is after wards other wise I will do it again" So Hermione muttered the counter curse and Malfoy was back to normal, before he was about to anything Hermione waved her wand threateningly so Malfoy chose his words carefully.

"Fine everyone . . . is . . . out . . . side . . . in . . . the . . . snow " With every word he said he took a step back then said " . . . MUDBLOOD" As he shouted the word he ducked round the corner with his hunger forgotten racing back to the common room.

Hermione however stood there stunned and did not even raise her wand when he said the horrible word, she felt tears of emotion well up inside of her and before she knew what she was doing she went to the room of requirement that she had used since fifth year and thought of a place where she could just be on her own and no body would find her and as the door knob appeared the first of the tears began to fall.
