School Showdown
Long lost words whisper slowly to me
Still can't find what keeps me here
When all this time I've been so hollow inside
I know your still there
Watching me wanting me
I can feel you pull me down
Fearing you loving you
I won't let you pull me down
Haunting you I can smell you- alive
Your heart pounding in my head
Watching me wanting me
I can feel you pull me down
Saving me raping me
Watching me
Haunted by Evanescence
I was outside in the front yard when Day and his brother came running out. They over slept just like they did every year. I used to wonder how they could be so lazy but now that I've lived with them for so long I could understand. They were just plain nuts.
The bus came not two minutes after the boys who would believe that this was my biggest year of them all? I had many things to workout this year. The biggest would happen in three months time.
We are going to host a visiting school and of course I had to make it all work. I've done lots of working on it over the summer but it was hard to do with Hermes coming into my room so much. I didn't want her to know what I was doing. I've even talked to her headmaster and he to thought that it was a good idea he even said he wouldn't tell Hermes where they were going.
Once over the summer I had to meet with Dumbledore to arrange everything. He was even more different then I thought was possible. I mean I try many things to make myself stand out him he doesn't have to try anything. He was tall but not so tall that one felt like a child. His eyes were a bright shade of blue and so full of life. But the strangest thing about him was his beard it was so long! It was down to his knees. What makes a person grow theirs so long? He was so kind and even-tempered that I wondered why his students didn't walk over him.
But that is all in the past. Now I have three weeks to set everything up at school. My biggest set back is I can't let anyone know what I'm doing. In a way I've always run the school but now it felt like I held the school in the palm of my hand.
Okay back to now. I decided to sit at the back of the bus with Day and Iki. Iki was at the stop just before mine when I asked him where everyone else was he just shrugged. Then he asked if he was the other guys' babysitter I told him he was. All he did was laugh.
I could tell this year would be fun. When I arrived at school everyone was there and like normal they all said 'hello' to me. I was used to it but it still seamed odd at times. The school welcome back was boring as ever. But there was one thing I wasn't ready for.
The head master decided to tell everyone about the other school coming. I was fuming because he told everyone it was his idea and that they would be coming in five weeks. That just showed how much he knew about MY project. They were coming in three and a half weeks. Not only that but it was MY idea.
I just acted calm in front of everyone but inside I was ticked to put it nicely. How can he take someone else's idea and say it was his? I would have to talk to him after dinner.
I went to dinner and tried to eat but all I heard was about Mr. Mizzen's great idea. At first I put it off but when Day asked how I felt about it I nearly exploded at him. I didn't have to say it was my idea before Day put two and two together and got four.
Hermione's POV
When I woke up I knew that Marz and the others were gone. They had the best school next to mine that is. I remember my days there like it was yesterday. I had the greatest friends. Not saying that I don't now but there no one hated me because of what kind of blood I have. I was just part of the in crowd because people just loved me.
I crawled out of bed but all I wanted to do was go back. School was commencing today well not really but I have to catch the train so I can get there. That was the only draw back to going to my school a whole day on the train. I didn't mind it too much after all I can read maybe I can finish that book Marz gave me ages ago.
One thing about me was no matter how much I hate something I have to finish it. Take that book from Marz A Child Called It I hate the book because no child should be forced to endure that kind of abuse from his mother or any parent for that matter.
At ten thirty I was ready to go, as were the boys. We were just about to walk out the door when Harry's owl came flying in the room. She had no letters or packages I think she just didn't want to be left alone. She nipped lovingly on all of our ears.
We decided to take one of our vans because it was better suited to hold all of the trunks. Mom was driving because dad wouldn't and Jeffery wasn't feeling well. I knew he hated driving so early but just to act sick was sad.
We got to the train station with ten minutes to spare. Harry read the clock wrong so he thought we had three minutes to get to the platform. How stupid can he be? We took off running as fast as we could because none of us checked the clock. Harry and Ginny made it on the platform without any problems, as did Ron.
I was running not watching where I was going. Suddenly I crashed into someone and not just anyone Draco Malfoy! Of all the days I to run in to him why was it today?
'Watch where your going mudblood!' Of course I was expecting this but yet it still hurt. I've had a thing for him since I first met him but all he could see was the fact I'm a mudblood or at least so he thought. True I don't know who my real parents are but I was told that they are both pure bloods. I couldn't tell him that because then he would ask me to prove it and I can't yet.
'Well then I guess you should stay out of my way Malfoy then I can't run in to you so if you would excuse me I have places to be and none of them include you!' His silvery blue eyes were so hard and cold. I didn't know where he got off acting like he owned all the land in the world.
I left Malfoy standing in the middle of Kings Cross with no chance for a reply. As I told him I had places to be. When I got to the platform I felt like this was where I belonged. Here with all the witches and wizards that doesn't exist anymore. They are now just like my family. Most of these people love me for me.
I found the head compartment without any problems. I was just sitting down to my book when I remembered that Malfoy was head boy how stupid can I be? Of all the people to run down was the one person who hates me, is the head boy, and is the person who I have to live with for the rest of school. Can things get any worse? Wait better not say that.
The door came open to reveal Malfoy and professor Snape. I told myself it was my entire fault. To say things can't get worse and what happens they do. The curse of Hermione strikes again. I'm cursed and I know it.
'Well you know you have many duties as head boy and head girl. Your first job it to patrol the train and keep order. Then at school you are to take care of everything that us teachers can't. You also have to make a list of twenty year six and sevens to go to the other school. Be warned that it is a muggle school and we want to look our best. You will also run prefect meetings and come up with school dances. Any questions? Good.' With a flip of his cloak he was gone.
'Well Granger shall we go?' What was Malfoy up to? I don't trust him in the slightest and he knows it. I walked past him without a glance in his direction. I just walked away without a word. Oh how Marz would hate my lack of manners but she's not here to yell at me.
I was towards the front of the train when I started to feel a little dizzy. My legs also started to get weak so I opened the first compartment and sat down gaining myself some odd looks from the occupants
'Hermione help me! Only you can save me. Get him to leave me alone. But beware one is not who he seems don't believe in the lies!' The voice was just a whisper but I could hear it clearly. I was that of a young woman she must have been running because she seemed to gasping for breath.
Next thing I knew Malfoy was leaning over me looking almost concerned but it must have been a trick of the light because next thing he looked calm and collected. How can he be so heartless? That is one trick I should learn from him. The original occupants of the compartment had be long time gone from the look of things.
'You know it's not a good thing to pass out before we even get to school. Then again anyone would pass out from just the sight of me.' Of all the times to be a heartless bastard who loves himself too much why does it have to be now?
'You know Malfoy you could be great friends with Narcissus he loved himself almost as much as you do. Do you carry a mirror with you everywhere?' I didn't let him answer for the second time that day.
I was just out the door when he grabbed my arm. 'You might want to watch what you say Granger one day you might say one thing to many.' Oh now that was a scary thought.
'Sorry Malfoy I can't watch what I say I can only hear it so get some brains in that head of yours.' How much stupider can he get?
Somehow I managed to get my arm loose from his death grip. I went back to my duties not even thinking about what just happened or even the voice. It wasn't until dinner that I even remembered it. I only remembered because Harry and Ron started talking about the chamber they had found in second year. Of course they left out the fact that I helped them find it and what was in it.
What confused me the most was when the voice said, 'Only you can save me.' And 'But beware one is not who he seems don't believe in the lies!' Who on earth was she talking about I didn't tell Ron or Harry because I didn't want them to think I have gone mad. But then I think I have. Another thing was I wanted to know who she was.
'Students welcome now that you have been fed and watered its time for bed happy dreams. Draco and Hermione can you please meet me.' It wasn't a question but more of a demand. But I had great respect for Dumbledore so if he had asked I would have come anyway.
All the rest of the students went their own way to get to their dorms. Sometimes I envied most of them because they had many friends who loved them and many had family that went to this school as well. Not only that but the families stayed close to one another even if they were in different houses.
I like the good little girl I am went to meet Dumbledore at the teacher's table. He told us to follow him. And so we did we were led threw many twists and turns sometimes I thought we did complete circles. Finally when I thought we were totally lost Dumbledore stopped. In front of us was a beautiful picture of the planet Mars it even looked like it was on fire. What really caught my eye was behind the planet was a young girl who just happened to look just like my sister Marz.
'You can chose you password for the year but half way threw I ask that you change it. The head girl chooses first.' With that Dumbledore was gone.
'Well Hermione what do you want it to be?' I thought it was Draco at first but then I realized that it was a girl's voice not Draco's. I looked at the girl to see her watching me. 'Well? Or are you going to stand out here until I make Draco pick?'
'Mackinaw Island Fudge.' The girl nodded and the picture swung open to reveal the most beautiful room I've ever seen in my life.
The room was huge with two sets of everything one red and gold the other silver and green. The floor was black as were the walls. It had a gigantic fireplace that was made out of brick. The panels around the doors were white. At first one would think the black and white would clash with one another but they sat together just right.
On either side of the room was a door one said Head Girl in gold where the other said Head Boy in silver. On the far wall was another door it didn't say anything. My guess was is it's the bathroom. I didn't feel like talking so I went to my room only to loose my breath for the millionth time today.
It wasn't red and gold like I would have thought but it was set to look like an Ancient Egyptian bedroom. All the way down to a sleeping couch. The walls were covered in hieroglyphics. I didn't know what they all said but by the looks of it I think it was the story of my life. On one side of my room was a statue made of pure gold of a god or goddess. Also my room was full of candles and just like the great hall many were in the air.
On my bed was a simple white dress that looked just like what an Ancient Egyptian would wear. Goddess these people knew everything about me. I think it was because I've read every book in the library about Ancient Egypt. One of my dreams was of becoming an Egyptologist even after living in the world of magic I never gave up that dream.
Slowly I put on my new nightdress. It fit perfectly no shock there. It hugged the right curves and everything. It felt warm but yet it was so cool. I lay down on my bed I was too tired to read so I snuggled in deeper under my covers. As if in a dream the candles dimmed until they went completely out.
At first I had a dreamless sleep. But then the voice came back 'Hermione you have to save me! Only you can help me! Help save my people he is killing us all only you can stop him! Don't let him kill us all or else all magic would be lost forever!' This time there was a face to go with the voice. It was a young girl. She had to be no older then myself. She was wearing the same dress as I was. She had long black hair and ebony skin. Her jewelry and makeup was and old dead style you I've seen her necklace before.
The necklace was made of gold it was of Isis. She was kneeling with her arms spread out showing off her wings. The wings were made of jade and turquoise. All over the wings were other precious stones. The chain was of pure gold. Isis had a grim face on this necklace. But this one was a special one because as the girl talked to me the face of Isis changed. It went from grim to carefree back to grim.
I've heard of this necklace. It was said to be a gift from Isis to some queen. I couldn't think of who the queen was but I was too worried about the message to put too much thought in to who owned the gift. How could all of magic be in danger? The first name that popped into my head was You-Know-Who but how can he harm all of magic.
After a time I stopped thinking all together and fell back into a dreamless sleep. After what seemed like minutes my alarm went off. Grumpily I threw it against the wall. Even after it shattered it continued to go off. That's it no more magical alarm clocks for me. I kicked off my covers and went to my alarm clock only to find it pulling itself together. Not that I look at it, it was in a small statue of Bast. Bast is the cat goddess and my favorite of all of the Egyptian goddess. She is the goddess of cats, partying, and fertility.
I grabbed my school uniform and headed to the bathroom. I knocked on the door but there was no answer so I walked in. There was no one there. The room rearranged itself to look like an Ancient Egyptian bathroom. I was beginning to like who ever came up with the design for the head dorms and everything. There was a large bath in the center of the room, which I believed to be heated by coals that were under the tub. There was no taps but there were buckets of water. Two were steaming where the others looked to be cold water.
The soaps and shampoos looked to be homemade but they all smelled of lavender my favorite smell. The tub had rose pedals floating in it giving off the illusion of being in a flower garden. It almost smelled of home.
Slowly I stripped off my nightgown and sank into the water. It was perfect. I swam some laps in the pool before I completely submerged myself. When I came up for air there were rose pedals sticking to me in odd places like over my left eye. Had that eye not been covered I would have seen my guest.
When I removed the rose pedal there stood Draco Malfoy just watching me. He even had the balls to laugh. Suddenly he stopped laughing and just stared at me. That's when I realized he could see my bare chest. 'Nice rack Granger!' He again had the stupid smirk plastered on his face.
'Have you ever heard of knocking?' I asked coldly after sinking down into the tub so I was covered.
'I did know have you ever hear of answering?' He again was smirking. Was that all the boy could do? Nope he can do more he started to undress.
'Get out!' I yelled I didn't want to sound mean but I really didn't want to be with him right now.
'AWW Granger and here I thought you didn't answer because you wanted to see me naked.'
'The day I want to see you naked is the day I marry Lavender Brown now get out!'
'Eww granger I never knew you thought that way!' He stormed out the door muttering something about sick little mudbloods but did I care no he was gone.
I quickly finished my bathing then left the bathroom. As I walked in to the common room I told Draco he could have the bath I was done. After all I can change and do my makeup in my room. One thing about my room was it came furnished with a basin and jug for washing my face and a full-length mirror.
Who would have thought little miss Hermione Granger would ever wear makeup. I tell you I didn't think I would but Marz and Ginny got me into it they even showed me how to use it properly and boy were they right I looked great in it. Marz had the face she didn't need any makeup neither did Ginny but they both knew how to use it. They taught me many tricks.
I was just about to leave my room when it hit me again. The voice! Back 'Hermione you have to save me! Only you can help me! Help save my people he is killing us all only you can stop him! Don't let him kill us all or else all magic would be lost forever! Get him to leave me alone. But beware one is not who he seems don't believe in the lies!' This time I didn't know how long I lay on the floor but next thing I knew Draco was yelling at me about classes were about to start. What was happening to me?
That got me up I need to go to classes then afterwards I'm going to go the library to study whatever crosses my path today. If you ask anyone I've read the whole library already but I found a hidden room so now I'm reading all the books in that room now. Also I have three shelves left to finish reading.
First class was DADA with the Ravenclaws. I didn't have any classes with the Slytherin's until after lunch where we have triple potions. Great my favorite house and teacher all at once. I like the rest of the school wanted to know who our new DADA teacher was because heshe wasn't at any of the meals so far.
I walked with Harry and Ron to class. We sat in our usual seats right up front. We were all talking about anything and everything. Mainly whom our new teacher was going to be. The bell had gone five minutes ago and still no sign of a teacher. We were talking about going and getting Dumbledore when our teacher came into class. Who we saw shocked everyone including myself.
AN: thank you for all the reviews you all made my day and you all know who you are!!
