Finding Love

Chapter three: The challenge and learning more..

Disclaimer: Nope not mine, it all belongs to the wonderful writress of Jk….

Last time:

I just rolled my eyes and turned around, I walked up to the stage and looked out once more. The butterflies came back and I sighed. I looked to see if Ron and Harry even looked like they noticed that I wasn't there. I see them talking to each other and then looking at Crystallus and then to me. Well that answers a question.

Now:

Hermione's P.O.V.

After looking for Harry and Ron, my eyes took control and scanned the room, finally landing on Malfoy. I had walked into the middle of the stage and was just standing there looking out, I saw Malfoy spin his finger in a little circular motion after Incendia told him something. Malfoy then pointed towards the bottom of my cloak. Looking down my eyes got wide. URGH! It was on fire! But strangely I didn't catch fire just my cloak did. I hear a collective gasp, looking back up I smiled, they thought I was on fire. I giggled a bit as I saw their eyes get bigger.

I looked back to Malfoy and he was smirking. Realizing that it had all burned off except for my clothes, I sat on the stool. I had on a midnight blood red top that tied at the neck and went just lower than the belley button, I was wearing black pants that had red jewels at the bottom, my shoes were black boots with about an one inch one and a half inch heal. My hair fell in loose curls and was a bit darker than chocolate brown, but I don't know how that happened over the summer.

"Interesting hu? Well any of you have any clue who I am?" I said then raised an eye- brow when no one answered. "Well apparently not. So I will tell you after. And right now don't say any thing till I am finished!" A lot of students nodded while others looked at there friends to decide what to do. All I did was smile and sat there. "Well since you have no clue whats happening I will be so nice and tell you. I am to sing any song that my mind/heart wants. So if its some weird song I think I can stop it. Of course I would know the song. It would have an introduction so no worries I won't not know it."

I sat there and thought for a moment and then all of a sudden the beginning of 'Angel of Mine' by Monica started. I opened my eyes and grabbed the microphone.

Draco's P.O.V.

She had closed her eyes and then the next moment a song that I had never heard came on. Probab;y a muggle song. She opened them and then smiled and grabbed the microphone. The next thing I know she was singing and I felt like I was entranced.

Her head was down but it slowly came up as she sung.

When I first saw you I already knew
There was something inside of you
Something I thought that I would never find
Angel of mine

I look at you, lookin' at me
Now I know why they say the best things are free
I'm gonna love you boy you are so fine
Angel of Mine

Her eyes wandered all over the hall, seeming to look for someone.

How you changed my world you'll never know
I'm different now, you helped me grow
You came into my life sent from above
When I lost all hope you showed me love
I'm checkin' for ya boy you're right on time
Angel of Mine

Nothing means more to me than what we share
No one in this whole world can ever compare
Last night the way you moved is still on my mind
Angel of Mine

What you mean to me you'll never know
Deep inside I need to show

Her eyes landed on mine as she sang the verse.

You came into my life sent from above (Sent from above)
When I lost all hope, you showed me love (Boy you showed me love)
I'm checkin' for ya, boy you're right on time (Right on Time)
Angel of Mine (Angel of mine)

I never knew I could feel each moment
As if it were new,
Every breath that I take, the love that we make
I only share it with you (you, you, you,you)
When I first saw you I already knew
There was something inside of you
Something I thought that I would never find
Angel of Mine

You came into my life sent from above (Came into my life, yeah yeah yeah)
When I lost all hope you showed me love (Boy You showed me love, uh huh)
I'm checkin' for ya, boy you're right on time (But boy your right on time)
Angel of Mine (Angel of mine, oh mine)

How you changed my world you'll never know
I'm different now, you helped me grow

I look at you lookin' at me
Now I know why they say the best things are free
I'm checkin' for ya, boy you're right on time
Angel of Mine

Some time in between she had stood up and had walked around on the stage bending over some times and getting into the song. But when she ended I had broken out of my trance and scowled. Stupid Granger did something. She smiled and the walked back to the middle of the stage. "Well that was.. uhh different-" All of a sudden the crowd broke into applause. Her smile got even bigger and she sat on the stool waiting for them to shut up.

Once they did she spoke. "Well I bet you are wondering who is this weird person one the Hogwarts stage singing a weird muggle song…? Well I am-"

Third persons P.O.V.

"HERMIONE GRANGER! Get your ass of that stage! And come here!" A person practically screamed barging through the hall doors. This person was tall around 5'9, well tall for some people. His hair was loose and brown, it fell into his face. If you saw him in a certaint light he was cute but if you actually knew him he was the most horrid person ever.

Hermione's eyes got wide as she saw who it was. It was her biological father, Dan. She just met him that summer and he was a bastard. He told her that he had the town ban his daughter for accused witch. It also turns out that he had given the 'Grangers' the last name so that he wouldn't get caught for any thing.

Hermione started backing up and then she grabbed her cloak that had some how appeared on the stool and put it on. "OH, NO! Don't you hide it from me… I know what you do. You little-" But before he could say any thing he got cut off by Crystallus.

"DAN! NO! You will have to go through me to get to her!" Crystallus said standing once more in her fighting position. The man's eyes got a bit wider.

"Crystal?" He asked confused. She rolled her eyes and then growled at him saying.

"Don't you Crystal me. You little traitor, and its Ocullus to you." Hermione stood there shocked at what Crystallus said as she jumped out to save her.

The whole school sat there and stared. The professors sat there some worried and others didn't give a care. Dumbledore wanted them to work it out. That was one of the reasons for Crystallus and Terra to come to find the people they were in search for and every thing was to be sorted out with family and friends, lovers and enemies.

"Crystal. You can't fight me. You're still a girl, you don't know any thing.' Spat at her thinking it would hurt like it used to. Crystallus just smirked and stood up straight, turned around started walking up the stage. All the while Dan was pulling a dagger out of his robe pocket. Crystallus smirked while getting nearer to the stage.

He grinned knowing that she wouldn't be able to deflect this one. As he pulled his hand back to throw it at her the school, well some of the students, started yelling for her to watch out. Crystallus paid no attention and just kept walking; obviously it was a long way to the stage. Dan pulled back and then threw it at her. Every thing seemed to go in slow motion, if you were looking at the whole scene from up above. But in realality it wasn't. Some seconds before it was to hit her heart she turned around, held out her hand and pratically yelled dagger. Purpple lights surrounded and then it disappeared and then reappeared in her hand. Just as fast as it landed she threw it at him.

But before it could hit him it caught a flame. Terra Incendia walked calmly over to Crystallus. "Not now. Settle this in our own world," he whispered to her, "Not in front of all these students its bad enough that the professors know about it. You've already shown too much." He said trying to calm her. After all she wouldn't break the rules just to kill her dad.

She looked up at him and frowned and smiled a bit. "I like you better when we are fighting…" Crystallus said to him. He just smirked and then leaned in and whispered into her ear.

"Why, you afraid some thing good might happen?" He asked half sarcastically and half seriously.

She just smiled and said back. "You wish." He pulled away smirked once more, looked at Dan and then sat back down by Draco. Crystallus' eyes wandered back to Dan. "Leave now! Or else I will make sure no one stops me from harming you. Maybe castrating you, my way. GO!" She hissed at him, pointing a finger at the Great Hall doors.

"Fine. But once she leaves this horrid place or is alone I will get her, the little-"

"Go!" Crystallus said still holding her glare. He stared at her like he didn't know anything, then all of a sudden he turned and left; not worrying about her attacking him as he walked away. It was then silent as Crystallus turned around. She looked to the stage and then sighed, it was like Hermione to go some where else when her father was in the picture. She turned around and jogged out of the Great Hall.

Hermione's P.O.V.

I couldn't stand it. I hate him so much. He was after me and I knew why but it is just to horrifying to tell. I am not one that usually gets scared. Considering the fact that I am Harry Potter's best friend then I need to be brave and all. But when my 'father' showed up I was scared out of my mind; especially since he had that gleam in his eyes. And worst of all he saw me, he never saw me like that and I didn't want him to ever again. Yes I Hermione Granger was scared of my biological father. I guess it was best that I didn't find him when I was younger or else I would be so broken up and out of my mind.

Crystallus's P.O.V (getting tired of it yet?)

I had to find her and some how I knew where she was. Sticking to my instinct I ran to the Room of Requirements. When I got there there was a door standing there in front of me with I knife through it and the tiniest holes going through the rough wood. Looking at it like it was crazy I went in. I hate to tell you this but I found some thing no one would believe beyond that door.

-- Ha! I thought that this was a good place to stop. Where do you think Hermione disappeared to, hold on wait never mind? Better question what do you think is behind the door? If you want me to write that part in Hermione's P.O.V. then I could. But I don't know. Sorry about having this mostly on Crystallus and Dan. But what do you think Dan is up to and why did Crystallus stop Dan? Now you know a little more about Crystallus. Please review so I can know at least some people are reading this! (For some reason on word it seems like it is a short chapter.)
