Draco turned around and started searching around him, while Hermione looked around her cautiously. Where did it go? Then, she looked down. There lying at their feet was the snake skin book. Only this time, it was open. Hermione bent down and picked up the book examining it closely. Draco turned back to her when he heard her deep breath intake.

"What?" Draco started walking over to her.

"Draco, you are never going to believe what this is…" Hermione said flipping through the pages.

"Well, why don't you tell me and then I'll tell you if I believe you." He walked around and looked over her shoulder.

"It's a book of really complex spells. Look at this one, Relive the Day! Oh, and Memory Savors. And this one is Inside the Head. Become invisible, oh that one would be nice. And look at this one; Magical Ward fends off any magical spell including The Killing Curse, but only lasts a few seconds. That's interesting. I thought that nothing could fend of the killing curse."

"Nothing can."

"Well, I guess something can now."

"Ha, that's impossible. Trust me."

"Oh, right. I forgot you're the family of killing death eaters. You know this stuff." Hermione said sarcastically rolling her eyes.

He roughly grabbed her arm and whipped her to face him. "I am not a bloody death eater! OK? I never will be!" He stared into the fear of Hermione's face and instantly regretted his harsh tone.

Quickly after that, Hermione left holding the book in her hands. She wanted to see if the spells would work, just without Draco. That was so scary. I can't believe he flipped like that.

Well, he did have a good excuse that is if he is telling the truth.

I guess so. But I mean really, that hurt. I swear I'm going to have a bruise there tomorrow.

Hermione subconsciously touched her arm only to slightly wince away from the pain. Yep, a definite bruise.

Draco lay on his bed, with his feet still touching the floor. Damnit. She didn't mean it Draco. What is your bloody problem? You know that's a touchy subject why are you even asking?

Because she doesn't deserve to be treated like that.

How do you know?

I just do.

Uh huh.

Shut up.

Never.

"AHHH!" Draco sat up quickly, his hands over his temples. Why can't I make it stop?

Because I'm part of you.

Yah, well I don't want you to be.

You don't want to be a Malfoy?

Silence

Your father would be sooooo proud right about now. sarcastic

Well, if being a Malfoy means that I am stuck with your snotty little voice always bickering with me in my head, telling me what to do, what to say, that I'm wrong, never right, then yes. I don't want to be a Malfoy.

"So be it."

"Huh?" Draco looked up only to see Aidan standing in front of him. "Excuse me! Will you KNOCK like normal people?"

"I'm not a 'normal people' now am I?" Aidan smiled coyly

"Not if you're telling me the truth. Here would you like me to rephrase this… will you please knock like nice reincarnations? Happy now?" Draco was still rubbing his temples. He lay back on the bed.

"Well, I just wanted to talk to you about that little voice in your head."

"Yah? What about it?"

"It goes away"

"Oh, lets party."

"No, I'm serious. All you have to do is say a spell from that book I gave you. Where is it? I'll show you."

"Hermione has it."

"Go get it."

"Hell no!"

"Why not?"

"Like I have to explain it to you."

Hermione walked over to her drawer where she had the ring stored away. She slipped it out and walked over the window seat watching it waiting for it to glow like before. She twirled it in her hands and the light reflected through it. Wicked. She brought it up to her face and her eyes widened with amazement. Draco was talking to himself… but literally. That must be Aidan!

"She's watching us."

"Excuse me?"

"Hermione, right? She is watching us with that ring you gave her." Aidan sat next to Draco and smiled out to no where. He waved cheerfully.

"Man, you really are psycho."

"Excuse me, but don't you think it's a little weird that the man at the store seemed so eager to give it to you. And that you bought it before meeting that 'special someone'?" Aidan inquired.

Flashback: Draco was walking down Diagonal Alley searching for school supplies. He was walking out of "Books for the Only" of course the store where only the richest witches and wizards could go, while an old man was closing his shop across the way.

"Sir! SIR!" Draco turned around only to find an old man hobbling after him.

"If you can't see I'm very busy right now." Draco brushed the old man aside looking into another store front.

"Please just take a look at this." The old man held out a ring of amazing quality. The gem seemed to sparkle in front of Draco's eyes, and the silver band glistened against the rough finger tips of the elderly man. "It's only a galleon."

"Fine just give it to me." Draco pulled out the coin and handed it over before his mind processed it.

"Thank you. We have been waiting for a long time for you to come."

"Yah, whatever." Draco grabbed the ring and shoved it in his pocket, barley noticing the warmth that seemed to emit from it.
