The Glass Couple

Chapter Six

"The First Solved"

For the next couple of days Hermione's mind was filled with thoughts on how to solve the first clue. Over and over again she repeated the words in her head, those that live in time die. She had no idea where to start. She really needed help, but Harry was busy with private lessons with Dumbledore and well Ron was busy being Ron…completely useless practicing for Quidditch. Not to mention that they probably wouldn't help that much since they always ask her for help with everything. Like in first year when Harry needed information on the Sorcerer's Stone, who was the one that figured it out? Hermione that's who, I figured it out. It was Nicolas Flamel who had the elixir to live. Well that was then.

The next day, Hermione had double potions with Harry and Ron and Snape was in a very dreadful mood. Gave them a 16inch essay on Reasons why Luck Potion is bad for everyday use. After potions Hermione went to the library to work on the essay for Snape, when she realized that she had been so stupid. "Why hadn't I thought of it before?" she thought, "those that live in time die," she had figured it out. "But why would Ian bring up Nicolas Flamel? What would that have to do with what he has to tell me? And why do I need to…" so lost in thought, she didn't notice that someone was standing in front of her.

"Can I borrow this?" asked the boy, pointing to a book. "Please"

"Sure," she said picking up the book. As she was handing the boy the book, she realized who it was, Draco Malfoy. "WHAT THE!" screamed Hermione. "Did you just ask nicely?"

"Um yes why?"

"To me?"

"Yes!"

"Oh my!"

"WHAT?"

"I have to go…NOW!" said Hermione as she scurried out of the library up to the Gryffindor tower. Now in the common room Hermione sat back trying to rid her mind of the events that had just occurred.

For the next few days she avoided Malfoy and Ian. She definitely needed a day just to relax. Every time she had DADA classes, she made sure that she was the first one out of the class room and the last one in the room before class started. This lasted about a week until one day Ian asked for her to wait; he needed to talk to her.

"So did you figure it out?" asked Ian while straightening up the room.

"Yes, I did," responded Hermione as she helped. "Ian it's Nicolas Flamel, isn't it?"

"Very good, now I'm sure you wonder why him. Am I correct?"

"Well yes, I mean if it has to do with the Sorcerer's Stone, I know what it does; I also know that it was destroyed."

"Actually, it has to do with why he had it."

"Why he had it?"

"Well yes, you see he had it for a very good reason. Now you need to find out where he got the stone."

"Ok? Wait! What did Salem have to do with this?"

"AH! Very good. Well that you shall understand in time. But first read this book. It may take time, but the answer will be in here," said Ian handing her a book.

""WOW! This is old, very old, wherever did you get this?" said Hermione while looking at the cover Volume 1 the Wizarding Families of Europe. "Over the summer I finished volume 1212. Very interesting, tells you all about the pure-bloods and there history. Thank you, I shall hurry with this."

About to leave when she was stopped once more by Ian saying,"Oh and don't even think about asking Dumbledore about it."

"Ok goodbye." With that she left.

"You Ian I've been watching her and a couple weeks ago she had an encounter with William. I don't believe they know yet, but there was definitely something there."

"I know mother, I was behind the bookshelf. I hope she figures this part out soon."

"I do too, tea?" said the beautiful woman.

"Yes, please." Just then tea appeared in front of both of them.

"You know your father is very happy to have you working here with him. I haven't seen him this happy in a long time."

"I'm glad to hear that, because he makes it very difficult for me. He knows this and yet he insists on me helping her. Why can't he tell her I mean he is the headmaster. But no! Too busy with Mr. Potter." replied and angry Ian.

"My son, I know this is hard, but it will help in the healing process for you. Your father can't possibly help defeating Voldermolt and help you with you situation."

"I know I know, but still I'm falling for her again, it's so hard."

I hope you liked it…you got a few more and I hope to incorporate more of HBP in this story.
