Chapter 4
Breakfast at the Zabini – Granger Manor, was relaxed, well as relaxed as having to enemies sitting across each other. When the group was half way through breakfast owls came through the window. George looked scared as to how they found the way, although forgetting his daughter was quite skilled in magic.
"Dad, don't freak, I put a spell on this window to let owls which are absolutely important, like our Hogwarts letters." Hermione replied while opening the letters from Hedwig's foot.
When Hermione did look up she saw the adults in Blaise looking at her as if she grew another head, while Draco looked at her as is she was a freak.
"Wow one, I'm proud of ya." Blaise said
Hermione blushed but shook of the comment. Hermione remembered the letters; there where four altogether. She walked out of the room; with only saying bye to Blaise & gave ferret boy a look of loathing, which he gave back whole heartedly.
When Hermione left Blaise picked up the letter from the pile addressed to Draco & himself.
"Yo, Dray man, here's your letters. We on for a fly later on after we read the letters, yea?" Blaise asked Draco.
"Yeah, well lets read are letters first 'n' then we can fly." Draco said while leaving the room

Hermione's Room
Hermione walked into her room and plopped down on her bed. She scattered the four letters on her bed. One was from Harry & Ron, two from Ginny & one from a source who's writing she couldn't put a name to.
Harry's letter
Hey Mione,
How are ya? Why don't you come & stay with us at the Burrow, ya know lay low. Well I would go into detail but this letter might get intercepted & I bet you know all about it.
Reply Back Mione – Harry
-know about what? I need to ask dad, maybe he would know. Or maybe I should ask Blaise or Ginny. Ya I'll ask one or both of them-
Ron's Letter
Hermione, hi, I need help with my homework. – Ron
-Ron you bloody bastard. Can't even write properly. argh how can that arrogant bastard expect me to help him with his homework, after what he did to me-
Ginny's Letter

Love Mione xoxo
Hermione was about to find her ebony coloured owl, and send the letters off, when she remembered about her last letter.
The seal at the back of the envelope had green wax to prevent it falling into the wrong hands.
Hermione opened it with her wand, muttering the incarnation which was coincidently on the envelope but only she sees it.
Dear Miss H. Granger,
We release that you are of perfect compatibility to perform this task. I myself has been this & only just stopped, due to certain circumstances. I hope you do this to your ability & don't stop your partner. I pray that you do not bicker as that will result into losing house points. You are to meet in the library at 10.30 this evening. Bring nothing & no-one. Do not inform anyone.
I wish you luck.
Sincerely,
S.P.S. & N.B.M.
- should I go? I must. I will not tell anyone of course, no one would get suspicious, of me going to the library but I will carry my wand. I pull an anti-detector on it.-

Sup dray?
How's it all hangin? Mate I hope your up for it, the conversion is going to be hard, I should now, and if you ever need someone me & Blaise will be here for you.
AHAHAHA I know you hate the sentimental crap but that wasn't as I didn't spray that perfume Parkinson use, I sprayed Grangers one. AHAHHA bet you didn't see that one coming. Oi, we gotta meet up sometime, I mean there is only one week left.
Aiite I gotta go, Bye Jus
-damn I never knew Granger smelt so good. SO it was her in the library after 9.00p.m. Never knew she had it in her-
Son,
Your initiation date is being planned out. Oh yes this is just a letter to look like I actually care for you. After you finish reading this, look forward for a bit of pain. Not too much I wouldn't want my only son getting hurt,
Father
-that self-centered, crude bastard. Spawn of Voldermort-
My Dearest Son,
You now know that you are a concave, like I was. Draco, you must know that although you are reading this letter I have passed away or my partner has, enabling us to continue which, ooh here I go again babbling. I hope you do this to your ability & don't stop your partner. I pray that you do not bicker as that will result into losing house points. You are to meet in the library at 10.30 this evening. Bring nothing & no-one. Do not inform anyone.
I wish you luck.
Sincerely,
S.P.S. & N.B.M.
Hey Jus,
Read Blaise's letter first, then use this as a portkey, it will only work for you.

Lunch Time at Zabini – Granger Manor
"Hi dad," Hermione said. Looking around at the table & noticing that, the adults put people in an arranger order. Why? Only they know.
"Hello, Mione girl," George replied
"Dad, I need use the floo powder to pick up Ginny" Hermione said
"Uncle G, we need to use the floo powder to pick up one of my friends." Blaise said to George.
George looked at the three kids, no teenagers, in front of him, knowing much that not even older know of.
"Alright kids. Who would like to go first. You are all going together."
"That's okay, Justin won't mind having Granger, come to pick him up." Draco said
Hermione was a bit hesitant, "Dad, I don't think the Weasley would appreciate having Draco, in their house." Everyone just stared at Hermione thinking she had grown another head.
"Ah, one, you do know you just said Draco's name?" Blaise said, formulating a plan in his head.
"Let's just go & pick, Gin 'n' Jus, up."
-okay that's weird how can that mudblood; know what Justin's nickname is? And she said my name, my real name. D.M.-
George, Blaise, Draco & Hermione where gathered around the lounge room fireplace.
"Well, this is the order, I want Blaise to go & bring Justin over here. George said "Then Hermione you go & pick up Ginny. You all have to be back in here in 10minutes, no later."
Blaise went & brought Justin to the Z.G. Manor, no hassle. It was now Hermione's turn to go & pick up Ginny.
THUMP! "Omph!" Hermione complained "Hermione?" asked Harry
"Hey Harry, is Ginny here I need her to come with me." Hermione said
"I'm here, I'm here. Girl, why must you rush me?" Ginny complained
"Because dad wants me back in –" Mione looked at her watch "- 3 minutes. Come on lets go."
They were already to leave.
"Wait one more thing Mione. Harry please tell mum that I left. She knows of this. Thanks."
With that Ginny & Hermione left the Burrow.

That evening, Hermione went down to the library with nothing except of her wand, to see the two most unlikely subjects.
"Hello, Miss Granger, I see you have finally joined us." Drawled Professor Snape
"Good Evening, sir, were you Mrs Malfoy's concave partner?" Hermione asked with un-hid innocence
Draco looked at her with utmost disgust, "how does the mudblood know what we are going to do before I do professor?"
All a long Snape was starring at Hermione wondering how she could have known, clearly not listening to Mister Malfoy.
Hermione was grinning gleefully, knowing that they wanted to know. Hermione decided to take this in her own hands 'n' swing it so it seems that they are being stringed along, playing dumb does have their benefits.
"Miss Granger, do tell why you assume that Narcissa was a concave & why you think I was her partner?" Professor Snape asked
"Actually Professor Snape, you don't lose your ability to see when you die, if you are a concave. I know that you're her partner due to the fact that you have a lock of her hair in a vial around your neck, & also due to the fact that Malfoy is here, just prove that Aunty Cissa was a concave, & a light one for that matter." Hermione finished feeling very happy with herself.
Snape was surprised with the outstanding knowledge in this gifted young lady in front of him, yet was completely baffled from where she gained this knowledge. "Miss Granger would you care to tell me where you learned this information from?"
At this Hermione blushed a deep scarlet, "I myself am a concave although my abilites are limited because I never found who my partner was, but now I know." Finishing it with a sigh & a slight nod in Draco's direction.
To say shock would be an understatement to what Professor Snape felt. "Well then Miss Granger I believe you know, that you are to teach Mister Malfoy, all you know about concaves." With that Professor Snape left the Zabini – Granger manor with a swish of his black cloak.
Draco stepped out of the shadows, so that the fire started dancing in his eyes. Hermione got caught up in the beauty of Draco's eyes, when she heard Draco clear his throat authority.
"Granger, is you finished looking at me as I have grown something may we get down to business?" Draco asked
Hermione blushed slightly, "Well Malfoy, what do you want to know?"
"What is there to know?" Draco asked, in truth Draco wanted to know about concave in full.
Hermione looked pensive for a while, when she started, "5000 years ago, when they first created the ring, the named it concave. When worn by muggles nothing ever happened, but when by a witch or wizard it allowed them to see through. Although they are only allowed to see the events that they are to change, but not all the time are we shown 'malas visiones', bad visions, we may be shown 'buenas visiones', good visions. It is up to us to decipher the good from the bad. Many times we mistaken good from bad & change it to lead to unmistakable consequences. But that was all 5000 years ago, things have changed. When one puts on a concave ring, you don't get the power of Catalyse.
Hermes Fawkes put the spell on the world, 'para proteger que la energía de cataliza'. This means to protect the power of Catalyse. Now the power of concave is only passed through birth. Only one is alive at a time, which is why they have partners, to help them with their duty. Although Omar & Miwa were half, besides us that was the only case in which two existed at a time." Hermione finished shaking her head as she lost herself in the story.
"Granger, I think that would be all the information for tonight, you know Blaise & Ginny are alone."
