27) Final Confessions
Running. She was running in the forest. But wait, how could she be running? Suddenly she slipped and fell. She looked up and saw someone towering over her.
"Who are you?" she shrieked. The person removed their hood and then she saw who it was.
"You killed me Lucie. Why?" the person asked.
"Pierre? What are you doing here?" she asked.
"You killed me Lucie, you were the one." He said. Suddenly she began falling and falling. "You'll pay Lucie." He said pulling out a cigarette.
"Pierre!!" she screamed while falling. Lucie woke up in a cold sweat and she looked around at the dark room she was in. A nurse quickly came in and went over to Lucie.
"Mademoiselle Lucie, you are awake!" she said. Lucie looked at her and then she cried out.
"Oh, where is Pierre?" she asked. The nurse looked towards the door.
"He is in very bad condition." She said. Lucie gasped.
"What happened to him?" she asked.
"He broke a lot of bones. They are waiting for you to tell them what happened." The nurse said.
"Me? Why?" she asked.
"Because you were found on the balcony." She said gravely. Lucie looked away and then the painful memories came flooding back. Suddenly someone bustled into the room and Lucie saw that it was Mama.
"Lucie. What happened on the balcony?" she asked gently. Lucie was somewhat prepared for this.
"I…I was speaking to Pierre. He…he told me that he didn't want to marry me anymore, and he wanted to break off the marriage. I asked him why, and then he didn't answer, then, he jumped off the balcony…" she said. Mama looked at her and then Hermione burst into the room.
"That bitch is lying!" she said. All heads turned to the door and they saw Hermione standing there with her wand clutched in her hand.
"What is the meaning of this?" Lucie cried. Hermione stepped into the room and she looked at Lucie.
"How? How could you try to kill the one you love?" she asked. Lucie's face became ashen.
"What…what are you talking about?" she asked.
"Pierre is healing fine. He still has some broken bones but that's all that my power can do for now, " Hermione said to Mama. Mama nodded and then looked at Lucie.
"Is this true Lucie? Did you try to kill Pierre? I would rather hear your confession than find out the hard way." Mama said. Lucie looked at Hermione.
"I would never lie Mama. I did not try to kill Pierre." She said. Hermione rolled her eyes.
"When are you going to get a life Lucie? Pierre told me everything." She said. Lucie looked at her.
"What did he tell you? That I tried to kill him? He lies. He always has been lying." She said.
"Like I'm going to believe you." Hermione retorted.
"No, no it is true. He was the one who jumped off the balcony!" she said. Mama shook her head and then she began walking out of the room.
"What ever you say Lucie, I will find out what really happened. I will do a spell to see what really happened on the balcony." She said leaving. Lucie's eyes widened.
"Please…no! Please Hermione believe me. You are my best cousin, no?" she asked. Hermione looked at her.
"At one point I had some compassion inside of me for you, but now, you absolutely disgust me." She said with malice. Lucie looked at her and then looked away.
"Fine." She said. "You know Hermione, I always liked you. We used to write to each other all the time, and you truly were my favorite cousin, until you came here. You. You had Mama's favor! I could never be what she wanted me to be." She said. "And then you, some…Mudblood with muggle parents, you are the descendent of the healer. And I? I am on a wheelchair, a pathetic fool, all my schooling gone to lost." She said. Hermione listened quietly.
"You're jealous?" she asked. Lucie looked away again.
"Then Malfoy came. And he loved you. Do you know how that made me feel? I began having those silly dreams about Thomas. And then I didn't want you to end up like me. Some bitter fool who could never forget. And I tried to break you up, but when you refused to let go, I hated you." She said venomously.
"Why didn't you just dump my brother then?" Malfoy asked coming in through the door. She looked at him and then turned away.
"I can't stand to see your face. It reminds me too much of Thomas." She said. Malfoy went over to Hermione and put his hand on her shoulder.
"You can never tear us apart." He said. She smiled very oddly and looked at them.
"How wonderful." She said. "However, there is still one thing that can." She said.
"And what's that?" Hermione asked.
"Death." She said with an evil smile. She whipped around and grabbed her wand and aimed it at Hermione. "Crucio!" she shouted. Hermione screamed and then Malfoy pushed her out of the way and was hit, full blast, by the curse, for the second time.
"Malfoy!'" she screamed. He was on the floor in pain and she looked at him. She pulled out her wand and then she began the incantation. "Passio Revivio!" she said. The light hit Malfoy, but he was still in pain. Her screams had brought people into the room and they were looking at Hermione sobbing on the floor, next to an apparently dead Malfoy.
"Hermione, use your hands," said a voice. She looked up and she saw a specter in front of her. She gasped at the remarkable resemblance to herself and then she looked at Malfoy.
"My hands?"
"Yes, hurry, time is running out, his spirit is leaving the mortal world." The spirit said. Hermione looked at her hands and then she noticed a faint yellow glow emanating from them. She put her hands just over Malfoy's chest and then a dazzling light shone. She felt a great warmth and then a great hollowness inside. And then, she heard something utterly remarkable. She heard Malfoy's voice—in her head.
Hermione, I'm alive…The voice said. Tears spilled out of her eyes and then the light disappeared. Malfoy blinked and then he looked at her. He sat up painfully and then she hugged him. He hugged her back and then the people in the room began clapping. Malfoy pulled away and then he kissed her.
"I love you Malfoy," she heard herself say.
"What! a voice screeched. They broke apart and they saw Lucie fuming on the bed. Mama was standing over her and looking at her with great disapproval.
"You are to be sent away," she said. Lucie began rocking from side to side on the bed and Mama pulled out her wand and put a sleeping spell on her. The room immediately became silent. Mama then looked at Hermione and smiled. "Very well done. You have saved him yet another time. It seems that fate has it in for you two." She said with a small grin. Everyone smiled at them, as the tension in the air was broken. Malfoy kissed Hermione again and then smiled at her.
"You are my life saver." He said. She laughed and then hugged him.
"We have so much to talk about." She said softly.
"I know." He said.
"Ok, ok, son, that's enough." Boomed uncle Charles. "You'll have time for that later, time for a feast now, don't you say?" he asked looking at Mama. She sighed and then finally nodded.
"Very well then. Time to celebrate." She said looking at him. A set of cheers erupted and they all began making their way to the dining hall.
