Hermione's POV
We walked back to Hogwarts hand in hand. When we reached the Wizard, Draco said, "SlytherGriffin." Our new password.
Draco sat me down on our maroon leather couch and went into the kitchen to make hot cocoa.
Five Minutes Later...
"Here you go! Hope you like it!" he said.
I took a sip…"Wow! It's perfect!" I said.
"Thank you. My mom used to always make it for me. She taught me how to make it before I turned 11, which, I was old enough for school and to learn my father's ways."
"Oh. My mom died right after our fifth year. She was a dentist, so she taught me everything she knew about teeth. Haha." I said. "It doesn't bother me to talk about her. Lhiann said that we should praise death instead of mourn it, that way it's easier for the spirit to move on."
"I guess I should mourn my mother's spirit because it died when my father started teaching me the D.A." Draco said, sadness creeping into his voice.
"I don't think her spirit died. I think her heart was just broken."
"Well, either way, my mom doesn't act the way she used to."
"I'm sorry."
"It's all right."
We sat and stared at the fire in awkward silence. 'I don't know what to say! I need to say something before this gets uncomfortable.' I thought.
"So…" I said, unable to think of anything to say. I was concentrating so hard on what to say that a sudden headache popped up. It felt like a flashing light and thunder were in my head. All of a sudden I felt myself lifting out of my body. I looked down and I saw myself fall out of the chair and Draco yell at me to wake up. 'What is happening?'
Then my body got up. I started talking but it wasn't me! I listened to what I was saying, but not really saying it myself.
"I am the Goddess, the Mother. You are the 'Chosen' as well as Hermione. I am her, she is Me," I said, she said, whoever said.
"What's going on? What's happening? Hermione this isn't funny!" Draco said, freaking out.
"You are the 'Chosen' you are Merlin! My love, accept it, fulfill your destiny! Hermione is your destiny, your love! Without her is a way to lose your life! Love her and save your lives as well as others in the upcoming war! Love her and the hole in your heart will be full. She needs your help!" then my body fell and I felt suction on me.
I woke up feeling exhausted out of my wits. I looked around and saw that I was in my room. I looked at the time; it was 1:30 A.M.
Draco was sleeping in a chair next to my bed. 'He looks so peaceful' I thought. 'What the hell happened?'
I scooted over to wake Draco up. When I touched him a vision flashed in my head.
Vision
Narrator's POV
Draco was in long white robes with a gold cross on them. He was kneeling at an alter that had a throne on it. The occupant of the throne was a sleeping Hermione. Her eyes opened. She looked at Draco with malice, hate.
The scene changed to a sleeping Hermione on the same throne with Draco crying at her feet. She opened her eyes and spoke.
"I pity you, Merlin. I gave you direct orders. You must obey me! If you do not do your job I cannot do mine! The whole world is at stake! Do you not understand!" She said. "Hear me now, Merlin! Our whole existence is fading! You did not do what should have been done! Nobody knows who we are anymore! The High Priestesses have all died! Your Druid followers are greedy for power! It is all your fault!" she cried.
Draco (Merlin as he is called) looked up.
"I've learned my lesson and I'm sorry! I know it is too late now, but I do love you! I love you and our children! If the children do not have faith I cant either! You know as well as I do that our time is up!" Draco yelled.
"It is too late for you to love me, Merlin! We are together out of obligation, not of love. Our reign on this world is over. We are dead to the world!" She said with a mournful look on her face.
Another scene unfolds as we find Hermione (The Goddess) crying, kneeled down over Draco's (Merlin) body.
"Don't leave me Merlin, I love you! I need you here! Don't die! Please don't go! I'm sorry!" She cried. Merlin opened his eyes to look one last time at his beautiful Goddess.
"I will always love you. I'm sorry for my cruelty in the beginning. We will be together always! I'll never leave you!" He said.
Merlin's eyes closed, he took one last breath, and then died. The Goddess wailed as she sensed half of her soul died.
Another scene unfolds to find the Goddess on her deathbed, summoning with all her might, the last potential High Priestess. Lhiannon, the daughter of an Egyptian High Priestess appeared next to the Goddess' bed.
"Yes, my Lady?" she said.
"I need you to keep our faith alive. Keep me in your heart. Teach your children what I taught you. Keep…the…faith," she choked.
"I will Lady, I will," Lhiannon said.
End of Vision
"Hermione! Are you ok?" Draco was yelling. He shook me so hard I rolled off my bed.
"Ow! Careful!" I said.
"What were you doing? I woke up with your hand on my face as you were having one hell of a seizure! Scared the hell out of me!" he said.
"I'm sorry…I had the strangest dream…" I told him what I saw.
"Are you sure it was us?" Draco asked.
"Damn sure!" I cried, "Tell me how I ended up here!"
"Well, you passed out, fell of the chair, then got back up and said, 'I am the Goddess, the Mother. You are the Chosen, as well as Hermione. I am her she is Me." Draco went on relaying what had happened.
"But I don't remember saying that!" I said.
"You said it! When you got done talking you passed out again, so I carried you to your room and laid you on your bed. I fell asleep on your chair," he said.
I'm in shock! I don't know what's happening right now.
"Well, we should go back to bed and discuss this tomorrow." I said.
"Okay. Ill see you tomorrow." Draco said, turning around to go to his room.
"Wait! Can you kind of stay with me?" I asked.
"Okay."
"Draco?"
"Yeah?"
"Can you hold me?"
"Okay. You sure?"
"Yes."
Draco climbed into the bed with me. We faced each other and just stared into each other's eyes. I closed my eyes and snuggled in Draco's arms. I was barely asleep when Draco said something so unexpected.
"I love you, Hermione. I love you so much I can't even think of being without you." He kissed my forehead.
"Mmm. I love you too." I whispered.
