Chapter Nine: The Evil One

"Well we got back!" Draco said cheerfully

"yeah." Hermione said and Draco knew she was distracted

"What's up?" Draco asked

"Well since the last dream I had came true about you walking the plank then the other dream must come true too." Hermione said and started crying

"No it won't. Since one came true probably means that the other one won't come true." Draco said hugging her and trying to reassure himself at the same time as reassure her.

"We need to go to Dumbledore!" Hermione said

"Ok. I guess your right." Draco replied

They ran to the entrance of Dumbledore's office and Hermione said "Salt Water Taffy!" since Harry told her the password they didn't have to guess. They burst in through the door only to see Harry and Ron crying and Dumbledore with out the twinkle in his eye. "Sir?" Hermione asked

"Ahh. Miss granger. Well I'm glad that you two made it back alright. Do you have a time turner? Oh and why are you both wet?" Dumbledore asked

"No we don't have a time turner. I saved Draco's life. And we swam from underwater so that's why were wet." Hermione said then asked "Why are they crying?"

"Well Ginny has turned evil. Its Ron that's crying. Harry's eye got poked in the process of running up here. So its merely watering." Dumbledore said

" I see." Said Draco looking at his friends. "What did Ginny do?"

"Well she stole Harry's invisibility cloak and then never returned it. And she helped attack the entire book club." Dumbledore informed his two soaking wet students.

"Ron, you knew she would!" Hermione said mater-of-factly

"I know. I just didn't w-want to b-believe it." Ron said still crying.

"Ron its alright. She might be under the imperious curse." Hermione said comforting Ron.

"A-are you s-sure?" Ron asked

"Almost positive!" Hermione said with a smile. She knew herself that Ginny was in fact evil.

The next morning Hermione woke up feeling rested with a sense of foreboding. She did not know why. But she would find out when she went to breakfast.

"Morning." Hermione said kissing Draco on the cheek.

"sure." Draco said still half asleep.

They walked to breakfast hand in hand. Hermione sat with the Gryffindors and Draco sat with the Slytherins. Hermione started eating her toast when a brown owl dropped the prophet into her lap. "Damn!" she cursed. And then as soon as she through the paper on the table everyone knew why. On the front of the paper it read 'Death Eater Breakout for the Second Time!'

Then Harry read aloud to Ron and Hermione since Ginny was off hanging out with Voldemort. Harry read: the latest breakout includes

Avery, Crabbe, Dolhov, Jugson, Macnair, Malfoy.

Harry stopped reading and looked at his friend over at the Slytherin table. Draco looked like he was forced to swallow soap combined with stinksap. Then Harry skipped the rest of the names and carried on:

It seems that these escapes were helped by someone read haired. Because a lock of it was discovered by Malfoy's cell. His son at Hogwarts who is on the side of good we hope will stay strong and help the good side win! If you want an article about the Malfoy's go to page 5 section B.

"Ginny." Ron muttered with a grumble

"I think so Ron. I think so." Harry said

Draco didn't say a word for a whole two weeks. Hermione was getting worried about him. He also barely ate and his grades were slipping. He was concentrating on his father. You could see in his eyes were fear, hatred, and love. The fear was about his father, the hatred was about his father, but the love was for Hermione. He would always love her no matter what. Then in December he got a letter from a black owl like his own but it was much fatter. The ripped the note up and threw it into his porridge. It was bugging Hermione and he wouldn't even talk to her. But then at night when she was sleeping the night after the fat black owl arrived for him he walked in her room and sat on the edge of her bed. And kissed her softly on the cheek before leaving a small note in her hand. The next morning she awoke to see a note in her hand it read

Hermione,

You know I love you. So don't feel like I'm ignoring you because I'm not trying to. I will start to talk soon. I'll start Christmas how about that? Its only a week away now.

Draco

The note made her want to cry. She didn't think he was ignoring her. She knew he needed time. So she wrote him a note saying that she didn't feel like he was ignoring her. And Christmas is fine with her but he has to tell her what he wants for Christmas. And then she signed it. She was so happy to having him make some communication with her. Then an ugly barn owl tapped on her window. She took the note it read:

Hermione,

Its me who has let the prisoners out. It was me who sent you back in time. I am not under the imperious curse. So beware. Beware Hermione Granger.

Ginny Weasley

Then Hermione screamed as the owl dive-bombed her head then left. Oh God. Was all Hermione could think.
