PLZ RR!
CHAPTER THREE: The Ladybug Army Part I
DISCLAIMER: I do not own the Harry Potter characters. J.K Rowling does.
It was almost Christmas time and Hermione and Malfoy, (Draco, as Hermione now calls him… in their common room only though.) had not forgotten the night before, but they did promise that they would never tell anybody. They woke up the next day with happy dreams. This troubled Hermione because she wanted to analyze her dream again, but ended up having a different dream.
Hermione's dream
I remember that I was in the girls' dorm, and I remember a lot of bugs… ladybugs I think, and they were attacking the school. They had swords and helmets and were wearing boots. They were just about to attack me when I woke up.
"What a load of rubbish!" She said, when she thought about it after.
Then it was breakfast time and then the post came. Hermione looked awkwardly at the package she got. It was shaped like a small box and it felt like it had hinges. When she opened it, it was a beautiful stained glass box. Inside, there was a beautiful diamond necklace and a note. The note said:
Dear Hermione.
Here is a little gift to you from me for Christmas. I hope you like it!
Signed, Your Admirer
Immediately Hermione suspected Draco. 'Wow! He got me a beautiful necklace, and he only told me he liked me yesterday night!' Hermione thought this was very romantic.
But later, when she thanked him for the beautiful necklace, he just said, "What necklace?" "The necklace you sent earlier today. The beautiful necklace made out of diamond! A necklace that YOU could only have sent… unless… it was…" she stopped in mid-sentence. She couldn't understand why Harry would want to send it… but she had to ask. 'A necklace… why hadn't I thought of that?' Draco thought.
That night, she went up to Harry, who was sitting in the common room trying to do his homework with Ron. "Did you send me this necklace?" she asked, undoing the necklace for Harry to see. Harry just stared at it blankly. "For me?" he asked in a girly voice. "Well I don't know what to say!" He grabbed the necklace and put it on. "Harry give it back!" Hermione was grabbing for the necklace around Harry's neck. Ron laughed. Harry was skipping around acting girly. "Oh my! It's so beautiful!" He giggled very kid-like. Hermione finally caught his arm and dragged him to the ground. "Give it back!" Hermione demanded. "Fine! I don't know why you want it so much! For all I know, it could be from Malfoy!" Harry hissed. "Now if you don't mind, I'm going to bed!" He went up to the boys' dorm and Ron quickly followed. "Ron, wait!" Ron stopped on the first step of the stairs. "What?" "Do you know who sent me this necklace?" Hermione pleadingly asked. "No, not a clue… ok bye… I mean good night!" Ron ran up the stairs. Hermione just stared at the stairs wonderingly.
Just when Hermione was about to go to sleep when she heard a noise. It sounded like a million ladybugs, climbing up the wall. In fact, it WAS a million or so ladybugs climbing up the wall. "Bloody hell! What is happening?" Hermione remembered her dream.
Flash back
Hermione's dream
I remember that I was in the girls' dorm, and I remember a lot of bugs… ladybugs I think, and they were attacking the school. They had swords and helmets and were wearing boots. They were just about to attack me when I woke up.
End of flash back
She looked harder at the little red bugs, scampering across the walls. They had on little helmets and boots and they were holding little miniature swords. They were getting closer to her so she pretended to be asleep. Maybe they would go away. But no. They had already seen her awake, and they were coming closer. She reached for her wand, only to see it being carried away by 4 ladybugs. "Oh no! OH NO!" Hermione started to panic. "SOMEBODY HELP ME!" she screamed, or at least she tried to… because when she opened her mouth, nothing came out. So she got out of bed and started to run out of the common room. But when she got halfway down the stairs, she stopped. She tried to run, but only her legs moved. She didn't go anywhere. Then she heard a cackle behind her. "Now I've got you. And then I'll get all your little friends too, so it will be easier to kill Harry Potter!" The voice said. "Oh yes… my little pets haven't eaten in 2 days… just a little warning!" Then she heard footsteps and turned around. No one was there, but all the bugs were coming at her, fangs and swords blinking little lights from the reflection of the moon light.
