"What are you doing, Lhiann?" Hermione had entered her room to find a roaring fire and Lhiann searing a golden needle in the fire.
Lhiann was preparing the golden needle. She hadn't expected Hermione to walk in just yet.
"I am preparing the needle Hermione. I saw the true form of Merlin and the Goddess. I want you to be prepared. They want you to be prepared. This must be done." Lhiann put the needle down and walked toward Hermione. She took the necklace of the Crescent Moon and dipped it into black ink.
"What? What are you doing?" Hermione was shocked. That was her necklace!
"I must do this and you must cooperate. Come here." Hermione walked over by the desk and sat down.
"What are you doing?"
"Giving you the sign of the Mother."
"Does it hurt?"
"Only if you let it."
"Let's get this over with then."
About an hour later Hermione had a black Crescent Moon tattooed in the middle of her forehead at her hairline.
"It's still sore I bet?" Lhiann asked as she was putting on Hermione's make up for the ball.
"Yeah. We have two hours left and the only thing I can think about is this pain in my forehead." Hermione replied.
"Ok, your makeup is done. I have to go and get ready ok?" Lhiann lied. She was really going to go to Draco's room and prepare him for tonight.
Draco was in his room at his desk writing when Lhiann came in. She had a needle and a bottle of ink in her hands.
"What's that for?"
"Preparation. You need to be prepared for tonight. Hermione got hers, now you need yours!"
"Oh, no."
"Ready?"
"I guess."
An hour and a half later Draco had a dragon on the back of his hand.
"Cool! It hurts but cool!"
"Ok, now I really have to get ready!"
Lhiann left Draco staring in awe at his lifelike tattoo.
