School Show Down

'Hermes stop screaming it's only me.' I turned on the light then looked at my bed to see Day lying there.

'Day what are you doing in my bed at this time of night?' I've known Day all my life but seeing him in my bed at this time of night is something I didn't want.

'Look we need to talk about your sister something isn't right with her and hasn't been for ages. As for you question I know what I would like to be doing in your bed at this or any time of the night.' Day gave me a wink and no matter how I tried I could feel myself blush. I should be used to his pick up lines by now.

'What do you mean something is wrong with Marz? Haven't you learned Marz is just insane!' I knew it wasn't nice to say that about my own sister but it is true. Day wasn't even taken back by me calling her insane.

'How can you say that about your sister! Your own blood!' Day was acting mad but I knew he wasn't. But I still wanted to know why he thought something was wrong with my sister. 'Look Hermione something happened to her last year she did a complete one-eighty change from what she used to be.

'The only other person that really knows what has her so scared I guess you can say is Iki and he won't tell anyone'

'Well if he doesn't want to tell and Marz isn't telling why do you care? Day just back off and she will come back to what she used to be.'

'Hermes listen to me I've known your sister for so long and I know what she is like at school. You don't know that anymore. I tell you from when you went to school with her till last year she became a different person. Now again she has taken a drastic change!' Day threw himself off my bed as if it was a spider. 'If you don't believe me that is fine I don't care!'

Dylan walked out of my room with his head held down I felt sorry for him. He after all is Marz's best friend but then what would she hide from him?

I fell asleep thinking about what Dylan had said and what he didn't say. What Day didn't say was that he was worried about her. But I saw it on his face even in the bad lighting.

That night I again had the dream about me having to help the Queen or whoever she is with her people. But she told me first my greatest help is from two people one who tells lies and the other is someone others believe insane.

I didn't know whom I knew that told lays but I was starting to think that maybe Day was onto something with Marz. Reminder to self-talk to Marz.

The next day all of the new students got a tour of the school. Myself and few other students didn't have to go because we went here before and the place hasn't changed over those years we've been away. Blaise and I went but for two different reasons, Blaise's was because he wanted to be with my sister and I went just for the walk as well as to see how Marz has changed if at all.

I didn't see anything odd about her the whole day in fact the only one who was acting odd was Blaise. That was mainly due to the fact he had Marz back. One thing no one knew about Blaise was the fact that his act about pureblood superiority was just that an act. Blaise was in love with my sister Marz and everyone knows it other then himself.

Another person who was acting odd was Draco Malfoy. He never said anything bad about anyone. I wasn't sure what to do about him being nice to everyone and it kind of scared me. Harry and Ron noticed him acting weird as well. They didn't say anything to him.

I wondered what had gotten into him. I felt however that he wasn't a close friend of mine so I wouldn't ask. I had gotten a feeling that Marz had something to do with his change in attitude.

The tour took all day so didn't get a chance to talk to her at all. Day was also watching Marz but he was mostly frowning. I didn't get what he was up to but it couldn't be good.

It was just before dinner that Marz and I were called to see Mr. Mizzen. We walked calmly to his office I was more scared then Marz because she had the look like she didn't care.

Mr. Mizzen told us things about our parents coming. I was right Marz didn't care only because she knew what was going on. Marz sat through out the whole meeting not looking at Mr. Mizzen or me.

Once we left Mr. Mizzen's office Marz went off somewhere with Day following her from behind. I had a feeling that Marz didn't know she was being followed. I began to follow Day but I was suddenly dragged off to the side losing sight of the two by Harry and Ron.

'Mione why are you and Day following Marz?'

Don't get me wrong I love the boys but I wish they would learn some things are better left unsolved.

'Day said there is something up with her. So I wanted to watch and see if it is true.'

Ron looked at me like he was waiting for me to say more. When I didn't go on he looked away.

Harry on the other hand didn't look at me. I knew he had to be hiding something from me because of his I wont look at you attitude. When he did look at me he didn't look at me in the eye.

He suddenly smiled at me. It made me realize that he isn't the child that he was last year. It also made me think that he was cute. Even as cute as he is and could be nothing could ever happen between him and I. It almost made me forget he is hiding something as well.

The three of us ended up just walking around the school for a few hours. We had nothing to do and we didn't care we just enjoyed our free time.

We talked about anything and everything other then Marz. Every time we tried to talk about her Harry changed the topic.

I showed Ron and Harry the stage my father had built when Marz and I were born. Ron asked if it was used and by who. I told him that it could be used by anyone and for any reason. He seamed to think that it was cool.

I took them behind the stage to show them the painting on the back. Marz and Blaise were back there talking neither looked happy.

What was odd was Marz looked down right scared. I had never seen her scared or as scared as she looked now.

Her face was so white she looked like she could have been a vampire or even a member of the Adams family. The only place that wasn't white was the bags under her eyes.

She had dark circles under her eyes that showed she hasn't slept in weeks or even longer. Most likely she hasn't because of all the work she has done for our trip here.

Blaise looked up and saw us. He whispered something in Marz's ear and she nodded. Blaise then walked off as if his pants were on fire. Marz didn't even look up at him or us.

Harry started walking over to her when I grabbed his arm to stop him he just shrugged me off and walked to her. Ron and I were forced to follow him.

'Marz does this have to do with what you and I talked about?' Marz jumped at the sound of his voice. She turned and looked at him before nodding.

I thought it odd that she didn't even look at Ron or me. She didn't even look at Harry in the eye.

Draco's P.O.V

I sat in my "room" reading a stupid book about ancient magic. The book was crap just like this project Dumbledore has us doing.

I never have nor will I understand how he can love muggles so much. They know jack crap about magic or anything.

True I know nothing about them but it's because I don't want to.

Marz Granger is the only muggle I really know and she is just plain out scary. Even though I don't really know anything about her I have the feeling that she is hiding something that she isn't even telling her sister. What is even worse I have the feeling that it has to deal with magic.

Now her sister is a different story all together. I've known Hermione granger for years in a way. Yeah she isn't my best friend but one can read her like a book. It is funny because even the weasel knows what she is thinking the only time that it sucks is when you get in a verbal fight because one always knows what she is going to say. The only shocking thing she did was slap me in third year.

But lately I've also gotten the feeling that she to is hiding something but it isn't as big as what ever her sister is hiding. What is even odder then that is that I can't stop thinking about her nor do I want to.

I wasn't in my room when Blaise walked in. He didn't look happy in fact he looked ready to kill anyone who said something he didn't like.

'She dumped me. Said she was scared of our kind.' Blaise threw himself on my bed and mumbled something into my pillow.

'Blaise who dumped you? Hell no one knew you had a girlfriend.'

'I was dating Marz you know Hermione Granger's twin sister?'

Talk about being dead shocked a pureblood dating a muggle. 'Blaise are you nuts? Why in the name of the gods were you dating a muggle? Are you trying to get yourself killed?' I didn't want to yell at Blaise but he was the closest thing I have to a friend or even a brother and I didn't want him to get killed just because he has to like a fucking muggle.

'Draco chill out she isn't a muggle. In fact they are both purebloods just like us. Now chill out plus I have his blessing to date her but now that is fucked up.

''When they were a year old they were taken to live with muggles. They know they are purebloods but not who their parents are.

'Oh and by they way you are not to tease them any more by order of our lord.'

What on earth was Blaise on there was know way the Granger twins could be pureblood even if they were raised by muggles. 'Blaise if that is so then who is their parents?'

Blaise just looked at me and shook his head. 'Sorry man I'm not at liberty to say but one day soon you should know if our lord wishes it.'

Blaise and I talked for a little bit longer most of it was about the Granger twins. After Blaise left I realized he gave me one clue. He said after what happened last year he was assigned to watch over Marz.

I went back to reading my book. Even if the book was crap I couldn't put it down. It was one thing my father taught me.

It was near midnight when my left arm began to hurt. I was used to this type of pain. All I had to do was wait for the portkey that would take me to the meeting spot.

Suddenly my ring started glowing and then there was a tug on my navel. When my stomach settled I noticed that I was in a manor much like my own.

The room was painted to look black. The only sources of light were from a few torches hanging on the walls.

The only piece of furniture was a huge black chair that looked like it could have been a thrown. A person wearing a huge black cloak occupied the chair.

Nothing but red eyes could be seen from the person. I knew at once who it was but not why I was summoned before him.

I slightly inclined my head. As his heir I didn't have to get down and kiss his robes as everyone else had to. I didn't even have to incline my head but I rather do it and be safe then not do it and be dead.

There were five other people in the room I couldn't tell who they were or even if they were male. I gave them no notice because well they didn't matter the way Voldermort did.

'Ah Draco just who I wanted to see. I know that Blaise told you that the Granger girls are just like us. He was not told to so he is being dealt with as we speak. However now that you know you must leave them alone or be twice as mean to them.

'They know part of the truth but others they don't. They are my nieces.'

There was a huge gasp in the room. I know one of the people that gasped was myself. That would explain something. Like why Hermione Granger was so good with magic.

But that didn't explain why Marz feared us if in fact she was one of us. What would make her turn against her own people?

'My lord why does Marz fear us?' If there was anyone that could talk to Voldermort like that it was I. Only I am allowed to ask him questions without fear of being punished.

'There was a party the end of last year where she was abducted instead of another muggle. She was abused by some of our men again they have been dealt with but then they tried to kill her. Apparently they tried to get her to join us but she wouldn't because like her mother she has a strong will of her own.

'But when she and her sister still lived with their birth mother and I we put a spell on them so that they couldn't be affected by the killing curse. It had a side effect that we didn't plan on though. It informed me of her where a bouts as well as her sisters.'

This was to much to take in at once next thing I knew he was going to tell me was that I was going to have to marry one of them. Knowing my luck it would be Hermione.

'Blaise is to watch after Marz because she trusts him far better then I thought. Even after this summer she trusts him she is just scared.

'You however must not get close to her or to Hermione I have plans for her. Using your status as head boy I want you to keep her away from Potter!'

'That is easier said then done my lord but I will try.'

The red eyes in the hood of the cloak seemed to narrow as if he didn't like what I said. One thing my father taught me was if I have to lie to save my ass.

'It will be done no matter what my lord.'

'That's what I thought you said I won't take anything less then it being done or you can end up just like your friend Blaise!' The man in the chair stood up and left the room. meaning the meeting was over and I could say no more.

I had to wait for my portkey to activate before I could go. It wasn't a few seconds after Voldermort left that two people came in the room carrying a bloody and broken Blaise between them.

They brought him over to me and dropped him at my feet. Without even a backwards glance they turned and left.

I grabbed Blaise's arm. Soon as I touched him my ring started to glow and there was a tug on my navel. Next thing I knew I was back in my "room".

It wasn't much later then it was when I left. I did everything I could to help Blaise without magic. After a few minutes I gave up and just cleaned him up with a few spells that I have had to use myself.

'Sorry man I didn't mean to let as much slip as I did.' I could only nod because even if I cleaned and removed all the cuts there were still the after effects of the cruciatus curse.

I knew how much it could hurt so I didn't press him to speak. I let Blaise stay in my dorm the rest of the night. He slept on the bed and I slept on the floor.

At about five in the morning an alarm went off. I don't know who's it is or where it is I just know I want to kill the thing. The alarm woke both Blaise and I up.

Blaise was complaining because his ribs hurt due to the cruciatus curse. He would most likely be hurting all day and there was nothing I could do about it.

As suddenly as the alarm went off it stopped and I couldn't be happier but then again I couldn't get back to sleep and neither could Blaise.

We transfigured yesterdays clothing in to something new for today. Blaise had to help me with muggle clothing because I had no idea what they wear as a rule where as he did because he went to school here a long time ago.

He gave me these pants he called blue jeans as well as a black short sleeve top. I do have to admit that they are much better for moving around than robes. Blaise was wearing a pair of blue jeans and a dark green shirt.

Blaise convinced me not to gel my hair back like I have done every year ever since first year. I wore it natural so that it fell and framed my face. Blaise simply spiked his hair.

Blaise had this look of a good boy trying to be bad and the girls think it is cute where as for me I'm the bad boy and that the girls love. Well almost all the girls only Hermione seamed to not like it.

Not that it mattered to me if she liked it or not but it is just odd that what every other girl liked she didn't. in the Slytherin common room we all used to think that she was a lesbian that was until last year when she started to date Dean Thomas. No one knows when or why they broke up just that they are still good friends.

About ten minutes after the alarm went off it went off again. Blaise and I could hear everyone moving around the room like this was normal. Maybe to them it is. Because Blaise and I were ready we just sat in my room talking. We just talked about what classes we had today and what we think they are about.

The best thing was Blaise was in all of my classes but unfortunately so was Pansy Parkinson. If there was somebody in the school I hated more then Potter it was Parkinson she had it in her head somehow that her and I were a couple.

About fifteen minutes later Blaise and I left my "room" to go to the cafeteria for breakfast. Us five Slytherins sat together because we didn't want to sit with muggles no matter what. Apparently Marz didn't like our idea because she told us to go and sit with other people and not just from our school.

'If you're worried about being bitten then don't sit with Day but other then that you are safe to sit with everyone else.' I wasn't sure if she was joking or not. I don't think anyone else at the table was sure or not.

I ended up sitting with Day anyway as well as a group of his friends. They kept going on about the summer when they pissed Marz off. They told me that the safest thing was to stay on Marz's good side you tend to live longer.

I found it odd that these people were just like us with out the magic of course. They had many of our fears like failing class or even dying. It was odd how much they began looking like humans to me.

I knew they were human before but they were always something else. I began to understand a little why Dumbledore loved them. It was because they were just like us.

They even ate the same things we did well almost. The only real difference was there was no spells to make things move or to make things taste different. They added flavoring to change the flavor.

Few minutes after I sat down Marz came and sat with us. She didn't show any fear do to the fact that she was sitting with me and that she knows I'm a wizard. In fact she didn't look like she cared.

We talked about classes and how they differed to the ones they take here. Of course I didn't let on that mine were magic based and that I even had a ghost for a teacher.

When breakfast finished we went to our first class. Blaise told me that it is just like potions in a way but much harder because you had to learn theory.

An) See how much I love you I had to update as soon as I got back. Lots of this chapter was done while I was at camp but even more was done while I was sick but I'm better now!! chapter eight should be up soon (mutters I hope)
