Book One: The War

Chapter Four:- I Miss You

"Sir, what should we do?" Harry asked. They were walking back from the Forbidden Forest, they didn't find anything, this was so frustrating because they had NO clues at ALL. It was hard to admit but even Dumbledore didn't know what to do.

"Well, we can start by searching the Eastern borders," he said.

"Again! Sir, we've already done it five times, it wouldn't make any difference" he said.

"Harry, NEVER say that it wouldn't make a difference because it would make a BIG difference. Just because we didn't find anything Harry doesn't mean it isn't there." Dumbledore said. He just had an intution that there was going to be an attack in the near future, but he didn't blame Harry for getting impatient, he was young. "This isn't something that you'd find in just a few months, Voldemort isn't that thick to leave such obvious clues, but that doesn't mean he wouldn't leave any."

"You're right sir, I'm sorry, "

"Quite alright," he said. They had reached the entrance of the castle. Harry started thinking about other things.

"Sir, Why is Malfoy here?" he asked.

"Well, if you promise not to let this slip out I'll tell you," he said.

"Ok"

"He's is going to help me, or, us,"

"Sir, he was about to KILL you! Why are you trusting him!" Harry exploded, MALFOY!

"Well Harry, the fact is, he DIDN'T kill me, and he couldn't kill me, which means that under that ego is a good side. He just uses the ego as wall because he didn't know what to do. His father was forcing him into something that he didn't want to do. He couldn't do anything about it because Voldemort would have killed him. Besides, he knows more than we do. I don't want anyone to know about this Harry, because there would be an uproar at the ministry. After Snape, or the Half Blood Prince, went back to his master, the minstrys eyes fell upon Lucius. Obviously Lucius fled, I personally think he is there with Snape explaining to Voldemort how his son was weak and wasn't his kin,"

"Well, then, how is Malfoy now?" Harry asked.

"He's basically the same,"

"I figured that," Harry said laughing. "So, where do you think the attack is going to be?"

"Well, I have a hunch that it will not be near here, Voldemort isn't thick he knows that we're after him so, we have to be alert," Dumbledore said. "I wouldn't be surprised if it was in the other wizarding schools."

"Well, we HAVE to warn them," Harry said.

"And tell them what? Remember Harry that not everyone knows the whole truth, just you,me and Mr. Malfoy and hopefully he knows more."

"You're right, and they might even give the information to the minstry," Harry said. That was the last thing that could go wrong.

"Never trust anyone Harry, but yourself, I learned it the hard way," Dumbledore said. "Well, its about time for supper, I think everyone would be at the Great Hall, so lets get going," Both of them entered the Great Hall to find it unusually empty. Hogwarts seems so much bigger when the students aren't there. Harry sat next to Lavender. Hermione was talking to Destiny, who was too busy looking over at Malfoy. Malfoy on the other hand didn't even care, and was sitting by himself.

"Draco, that is your name isn't it? Why don't you come and sit here with us, Hermione insists," Destiny said.

"What, no WAY, do you want your evening ruined?" Hermione said very quickly, God what was this girl thinking.

"No," Draco said without any expression or feeling, both of the girls couldn't figure out whether he was happy or sad. Hermione was a bit taken back at what Malfoy said. This wasn't like him, she was expecting something like, 'I'm not worthy to sit next to Mudblood trash'. Malfoy has changed, she noticed it when they were in school together as well. After sixth year, he just became very quiet, the insults and name-calling was normal, but he wasn't the same Malfoy, whose sole purpose was to make her life bitter. He wasn't determined anymore to ruin her life, but if he ever passed by he'd mutter something like, "Mudblood" but only so his reputation wouldn't be under jeopardy. But she hated him.

"Wow, hes so , mysterious," Destiny said.

"Mysterious?" Hermione added. She noticed Harry and Lavender whispering to each other, it made her sick. If she had to put up with this for the rest of the year, she'd have to find another school.

"Yeah, its so sexy,"

"You're crazy," Hermione said.

"I know,"

"Hi Hermione," Harry walked over and sat next to her. Why the hell is he here? Hermione thought.

"Hi," she simply said.

"How are you?" he asked. "I didn't get a chance to talk to you after I came here,"

"Uh, fine," Hermione asked. "Why is Malfoy here?" she asked before she could stop herself.

"I don't know, maybe he's a teacher here," Harry said, careful not to release anything that would make Hermione ask more questions.

"Really? What subject?"

"Um, Probably Charms with you,"

"Why? Does Professor Dumbledore think I can't handle the class by myself?" Hermione said, she felt offended.

"No, its just its better to have two teachers, things would move a lot faster." Harry said, he was thinking why he came over here, Hermione had this trick of getting him to tell the truth and the truth was bad.

"Malfoy," Hermione called.

"What?" he said. 'He seemed normal' Hermione thought until his trademark sneer appeared.

"Are you teaching Charms?"

"Even IF I was teaching Charms, I wouldn't tell you, and If I was, I wouldn't let you get in my way, so don't worry about it," he said.

"Yup, he's the same" Hermione said.

"Well, see you around," Harry said and started walking back.

"Harry, I miss you," Hermione blurted out. Suddenly the whole atomosphere around the both of them changed, Harry felt something he couldn't explain. He turned around, and they were just staring at each other. Hermione, for once wasn't cursing at herself for saying that because she knew that she meant it. She did miss him and it was ok to let him know that, wasn't it? Clearly, Lavender heard everything and she wasn't happy about it. She walked over took Harrys hand and took him to their table.

&&&&&

Hermione was walking back to the dorms, she had gone to the library and checked out a couple of books, it was past 12, for once she didn't need Harrys invisiblity cloak to get around Hogwarts. She turned the corner, still think about what she'd said to Harry in the Great Hall, when she bumped into someone, she looked up to see the outline of their face.

"Move it," she could recognize that voice anywhere, it was Malfoy.

"Well, you were the one that bumped into me," she said sternly.

"Please, Granger don't act childish, no wonder Potter dumped you," Malfoy said. He couldn't see her face but was satisfied all the same. "You're so God dam annoying,"

"SHUTUP MALFOY!" her voice echoing through the empty corridors. She started walking away. Malfoy grabbed her hand.

"Ok Ok, forget it, just tell me this, Why did you and Potter break it off?" he asked.

"You said it, It's because I was so God dam annoying, there's your answer,"

"I know, i just wanted to hear it from you," he said sniggering and started walking away. Hermione was fuming, God the nerve of that bastard, she thought as she entered her dorm. Clearly Malfoy hasn't changed a BIT. Where was Ginny when she needed her?

&&&&
