15) New Relation
"You did it?" Lucie asked Jean. He nodded and fingered a bruise that was on his head.
"That girl disarmed me. I hit the floor and got a nasty bruise!" he said. She smiled and nodded.
"Good, but anyway, Pierre will see that you get paid." She said. Jean nodded and left the room. When he left, Pierre came into the room. He sat on the couch and looked at Lucie.
"So are you happy now? You must have killed the poor boy." He said tonelessly. She laughed.
"Yes, and he's not poor. He's very rich. I just hope that he dies." She said. Pierre sighed and pulled out a cigarette. She glared at him.
"No smoking in the living room please." She said. He rolled his eyes and got up and left. She sat quietly in her wheelchair and sighed. She hoped that he really did die.

Hermione watched as the light came out of her wand and hit Malfoy's body. He was in pain, she could tell. His whole face was pale and his hands were clenched in fists. She began mumbling a small prayer to herself and then his eyes opened.
"Oh my God, Draco, Draco are you all right?" she asked. She leaned over and looked at him. His gray eyes stared into her brown ones and she broke into a smile as the tears leaked out of her eyes. He painfully rose and she hugged him. "How are you feeling?" she asked. He looked at his hand and moved his fingers.
"How…how did you do that?" he asked. His face was still pale. She looked at her wand and then squealed in delight.
"I did it! I can't believe it!" she said. She hugged him again and he hugged her back. He was confused.
"Did what?" he asked. She pulled away and looked at him.
"Do you remember that I told you that I was training?" she said. He nodded. "Well, I healed you!" she said. "I used a spell, that was able to heal, and you were about to die Malfoy!" she said. He looked at her and then he pulled her in a huge hug.
"Thanks Granger," he said while hugging her. She hugged him back and then they pulled away. "Who did this to me?" he asked. Her face immediately became ashen.
"I have no idea," she said. "He had thick dark hair," she said.
"What was he wearing?" Malfoy asked.
"Um, a blue shirt, and a pair of jeans." She said. He nodded.
"Someone tried to kill me Granger," he said. She nodded and looked around. "Someone has been trying to mess with us from day one. First, someone tells me to meet you in the corridor, and you didn't say that. Now, someone tries to kill me with the Cruciatus Curse. Its all very strange," he said.
"And then the note." She said. Malfoy nodded. They sat in silence and pondered. "There's only one person who would do this, but, why would she?" she asked.
"Who your cousin?" he asked. She nodded. He shrugged.
"I don't understand." She said. He sighed and shook his head.
"Well, don't worry about that now. Its all over." He said. She shook her head.
"No its not. How can it be over!" she said. "She'll go to any length to do something to us." She said. He sighed and then took her hand.
"Listen Granger. You saved me, and I'm really thankful for that--"
"Don't thank me Malfoy." She said.
"I have to thank you." He said squeezing her hand gently. She blushed and looked away. "And, well, I'm not going to spend the rest of my holiday in fear." He said. She smiled and looked at him.
"I know, but we weren't scared today, and look at what happened." She said.
"Yes, I know. I'm not going to be scared, but alert." He said. She nodded. "So you're going to have to be careful. And not just for you—for me too." He said. She gasped. "Hermione, will you…will you be my girlfriend?" She stared at him and then she turned away.
"I…"
"You don't have to answer now…but--" she put her finger on his lips and tears came into her eyes.
"Hush." She said. She began crying freely now and he took her hand and kissed it.
"I'll take that as a yes," he said. She smiled and then she hugged him.
"You've figured me all out Malfoy…" she said. He smiled and nodded.
"I know."

The Next Day:
Hermione
Ron and I will be arriving a little earlier than expected. We'll be there tonight! Pick us up at 9!!
Harry
Hermione smiled and tucked the parchment in her drawer. She left her room and went to see Mama. She was sitting in the living room knitting, and suddenly, she reminded her of Madame Defarge from A Tale Of Two Cities.
"Mama, I need transportation." She said. Mama smiled.
"For your friends?" she asked. Hermione smiled and nodded. "Very well then, just tell Jacques." She said. Hermione nodded and then began leaving the room. "Congratulations. You healed your friend from the curse yesterday. Very impressive." Hermione smiled and nodded.
"Thank you," she said. Mama nodded and then Hermione left.
Suddenly, an idea hit her. She looked at her watch and saw that she had enough time. She went to her room and changed into her robes. She grabbed her wand and then she left the house. She hoped that her idea would work.

16) Breaking the News
Malfoy sank down into the bubbles in the bath and he sighed. What a holiday. He was still in shock about the attack, but even more at his boldness. He had actually asked a mudblood to be his girlfriend. But he couldn't help it. She was pretty, and she was smart, and she was witty. Wittier than she usually was if he was permitted to say so. He had felt like a complete idiot when she had begun to cry. He couldn't believe it. He was usually the suave one around females, but Granger made him see that he was just like everyone else, except he had a bigger ego. He sighed and began playing with the bubbles. What would Crabbe and Goyle think? Most importantly, what would his father think? That would be a whole new episode. His father was already pressuring him to join the 'Dark Side', but he had no interest in those things and his father knew it. He sank lower into the water and then he closed his eyes. Someone was out to separate him and Granger. He wouldn't let that happen.

Hermione was back in the spot where Malfoy and she had been attacked. She went over to the spot where the man had emerged and she pulled out her wand. She closed her eyes and she said the incantation to go into the past. She felt herself being pulled away and a moment later, she was seeing the past. She saw the man crouching down behind the bush and then she took a good look of his face. She had seen him somewhere but where? She looked at him and then she heard him mutter something.
"Lucie had better pay me good for this…" he said. She gasped and then she saw herself and Malfoy sitting on the bench. She closed her eyes and then she zoomed out of the memory. She found herself back in the present and she sighed. She looked around again and sighed. It was Lucie who was behind it all. She was the one who had plotted to have she and Malfoy killed. She shoved her wand back in her robes and she began walking back home. At least she knew for sure now who was behind it all.

"Hermione!"
"Harry! Ron!" She ran forward and she gave Harry a huge hug. "I'm so happy to see you guys!" she said. She turned to Ron and gave him a hug too.
"So, where's all the fine French women?" he asked. Hermione rolled her eyes and sighed.
"Is that all you think about?" she asked. He laughed and put his arm around her shoulder.
"Well, most of the time. But, actually, I'm really hungry, can we get a move on it?" he asked. She smiled and nodded.
"Sure, let's go." She said.
^*^*^*^*^^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^While riding to the house, Hermione had updated them on all that had been going on. She had told them everything except that she was not Malfoy's girlfriend. Ron looked up.
"So wait, why were you and Malfoy, of all people at some secluded lake?" he asked. Her face became red.
"Well, um, you see…it's really hard to explain…" she said. Harry looked at her.
"Please Hermione, don't tell me, that you went there willingly." He said. Ron looked at her.
"Yeah. At least say that you were stunned and he dragged you there," he said. Hermione looked around and shook her head.
"I…I have to tell you guys. Malfoy asked me to be his girlfriend." She said. Harry and Ron's mouths both fell open and they were shocked.
"Are you serious?" Harry asked. She nodded and looked away. He sighed and then touched her shoulder. She looked at him and he reluctantly smiled. "I respect your decision, cause, well, you know. Just as long as he treats you right." He said. She returned his smile and then she turned to Ron.
"Well…I suppose it's alright. Although I don't approve of you going out with that greasy slime ball…" he said. She laughed and then touched his hand.
"Thanks Ron," she said. He smiled and then looked out the window. "Well, we're here. Come on, you guys have to get your dinner you must be starving!" she said. The car stopped and they got out. Ron and Harry were both shocked at the size of the house.
"If the house is that bog, imagine how huge the rooms are!" he said. Harry laughed and followed Hermione into the house.
