Part Ten: Hermione's Plan

Hermione ran as fast as she could to the library. By the time she got there, Madam Pince had already locked up for the day, because there was a teacher's meeting in the Great Hall. Hermione knew this was the one time she could easily get Malfoy away from the Slytherin tower, and not be bothered with the professors. Slipping into a vacant classroom, she sat down and unrolled a piece of parchment. Tapping her quill on her chin she eventually found the words to write:

Dear Draco,

I can't deny it anymore. I want to be with you, and I want you dearly. I know you can offer me more than Harry ever could. I must see you as soon as possible. Meet me in the Forbidden Forest, you know that's the only place we can ever have complete privacy from the teachers. Please meet me, tonight at 12 o'clock sharp. I can't wait until I get to see and touch you once again.

Sincerely,

Hermione Granger

Rereading the letter, she finally folded the parchment. "There. I think he will believe that. Now, I just have to figure out what I am going to do when he shows up." She sealed the paper, put a spell on it so only he could read it, and went to the Slytherin Tower. Before walking to the portrait, she noticed Millicent Bulstrode walking toward the tower as well. "I'll ask her to give it to him." She thought as Millicent approached.

'Hullo, Millicent. Say, I was wondering if you could give Draco something for me?" Hermione said with a smile on her face.

"Why should I? Why should I help you? What's in this little errand for me, Granger?" Millicent snapped back. Hermione reached into her pocket and pulled out 2 Silver Sickles to bribe her to deliver the letter. Without thinking twice, Millicent snatched the money and the letter. "No problem, Granger, I'll deliver your letter. BUT only this once, got it? Don't ask me to deliver anything else for you." Hermione agreed and watched as Millicent walked through the portrait hole. "I know she will try to read it, nosey brat. Let her have her fun trying." Hermione exclaimed, walking away from the door and going to her Tower and back to her room.

Hermione reached the Gryffindor Tower and went up to her room. Sitting on her bed, she puzzled through her spell books, looking for the right spell to knock Malfoy out.....or get rid of him long enough to think of harsher punishment. "Hmm? Should I blow him up or shall I just torture him for a while?" She said to herself and giggling.

"I think you should just get rid of him." A voice said from behind the cracked bedroom door. Hermione propped up and stared at the door. "Who's there? Show yourself!" She said, rather scared. Just then, a petite little redhead walked in the room. Hermione let out a sigh of relief, "Oh! Ginny. You scared me....Um....Get rid of who?" Hermione questioned. "Oh, come off it, Hermione. You know who I am talking about. I say get rid of him just like he tried to get rid of Harry.....and my brother. Malfoy doesn't deserve to be only "tortured." Ginny said, with fire burning in her eyes.

Ginny walked over and sat down on the bed next to Hermione and looked at her. "I can't kill him, Ginny. I just.......can't. It's not in my power to take life." Hermione said, lowering her head and looking at the floor. "Would you rather him kill Harry next time? Or Ron? Do you want him to keep attacking your friends until you have none left?" Ginny persisted. Hermione knew that she had a point. The next time, Harry and Ron might not be so lucky. She knew she had to get rid of Malfoy once and for all. Sitting there with Ginny, Hermione flipped through spell book after spell book. Ginny finally noticed something that might control Malfoy until Hermione could think of something worse. Holding up the "Standard Book Of Potions", Ginny brought the potion to Hermione's attention.

"Look! Here's a potion that will alter Malfoy's perception. Not to the point where he doesn't know who he is, but to the extent to where he will forget all that he had done in the past few days.....it only lasts for a week, then he will regain all of his memory about the things he has done.....so you have that long to think of a way to get back at him." Ginny demanded.

Hermione looked over the spell and realized that the ingredients were rather simple and the spell itself was fairly easy. "I think this might be good for right now....Just a week right?" She looked to see Ginny nod. "Ok, I'll try it tonight. Let's just hope it works." Hermione said. Passing the time until 12, Hermione and Ginny sat there brewing the potion. By the time midnight approached, they had finished the potion, and Hermione grabbed Harry's invisibility cloak from her closet. "Good luck, Hermione. Usually Ron would be here to say that but looks like you've got me for the time being." Ginny laughed. They hugged each other and Hermione made her way outside, and to the Forbidden Forest.

Will the spell work? Will Malfoy show up? Keep reading to find out.
