Hospital wing
"It is time..." Albus, thought to himself as he looked over the two now lifeless bodies in the hospital wing. Both looked so innocent, not knowing it, they were facing one another.
"Of all the people in this world..." Dumbledore pondered quietly to himself,
"Why, these two? Two people that detest one another?"
Hermione Granger
Hermione woke up with a throbbing headache and her eyelids felt like lead. She forced her eyes open, and took in her surroundings. The walls were a piercing white, and the bedsheets were...white
"The hospital wing" she groaned and she heard someone laugh merrily next to her.
"Yes that's right Miss Granger" Albus Dumbledore said, his eyes twinkling.
Hermione was confused, she didn't remember anything...apart from Harry breaking up with her.
"You and Mr.Malfoy gave us quite a shock back there"
Malfoy..?
She looked to her left and saw Malfoy, asleep on the bed, his platinum blond hair, on his pillow, his breathing deep. He was facing her, his arm casually thrown over the side of his bed, so close they were almost touching.
"He just fell asleep again, he could not remember anything, as most probably, you cannot either miss Granger?"
"No...no I -I don't remember a thing Sir" she said,
"Come in!" Dumbledore called, and there from the door walked Ron and Lavender Brown.
They walked up to Hermione's bed quickly, looking worried
"Are you okay? Harry and Ginny wanted to come... but we didn't let them."
"Thanks guys" Hermione said, pulling the two of them into a tight hug.
"I cannot believe my own sister and best friend would do that" Ron said frowning
"Harry told me before we boarded the train! He wasn't going to tell you until today!"
"Ahem"
Everyone turned to face Dumbledore
"I know you cannot remember much Miss Granger, but not to fear! See, young Colin Creevey managed to record it all on a FANTASTIC muggle contraption, named the camcorder I believe!" Dumbledore said happily,
"He received it for Christmas from his Uncle Larry! So now you can see what happened! Mr. Malfoy has already seen it, and to say the least, he was rather shocked by what he saw!"
Hermione faced to see the television, to recount what happened. She watched as she rose with this new power, as did Malfoy and they joined hands before falling to the floor.
She couldn't believe it, what was happening? Why was she doing that? What was that power? How did Malfoy do it too? Why Malfoy? why her?
"Ahh so many questions" Dumbledore said as if reading her mind as Ron and Lavender nodded their heads in agreement.
"Ewww you touched Malfoy's hands" said Ron disgusted while Lavender winked at Hermione "Ooooh, well he is rather handsome" with a dreamy look in her eyes before Ron shot her a sharp look.
"B-but Ron is sooo much more handsome" she spluttered as Hermione laughed, managing to pass it off as a violent cough.
"You see Miss Granger, a long time ago, I heard a prophesy made, by our very own Professor Trelawney" Said Dumbledore as Hermione and Ron looked at each other and snorted whilst Lavender crossed her arms and shot Ron a very dirty look.
"Professor Trelawney is a great seer!" she said, hurt by his lack of confidence in Professor Trelawny's skills.
"She said, a time would come when the two sides of the war were ready to fight more than ever. Two students, would have magnificent powers unlike any other, joined together, they would be more deadly than Voldemort himself. The two sides, light and dark would be reunited once once more."
Hermione sat in shock for a moment until Ron said
"err Hermione?"
"Sooo...I'm- I am, I'm meant to defeat the dark lord, with magnificent powers..with Malfoy?"
She whispered incredulously,
"I don't know, but I'm sure we will find out soon Miss. Granger" Dumbledore said solemnly as Ron, Lavender and Hermione sat, in a daze.
Thats ridiculous... Hermione thought, Maybe I do have this power, but nothing is going to come from it, at this very moment, I am NOT going to worry about it
"We have wiped the minds of all those around except yourselves and Harry, Ginny and Pansy or and Mr. Malfoy of course" Dumbledore said as Hermione snapped out of her daydream
"What?" she moaned "Why do they have to know?"
"Hush Miss. Granger" said Dumbledore, " Come, let me take you to the Heads common room."
Nodding numbly, Hermione followed Dumbledore along the corridors and up many winding staircases until he reached a portrait of a woman with silver hair, writing a notebook under a beautiful willow tree with a dreamy look on her face
"Ah" she said
"Hello there Arianna" said Dumbledore and 'Arianna's' face shot up as she smiled broadly
"Ah ello zere! You must be ze new 'eadgirl?"
"Yes, yes that's right" mumbled Hermione.
"Ze password is Unity" she said in a rather bored tone "I myself wanted to jazz eet up, but... Dumbledore disagreed with moi"
Hermione nodded and ran in and collapsed on the comfortable couch next to the fire. She stared into the flames as they flickered slowly.
The clock chimed as it reached a new hour, and Hermione knew she should get some sleep in her room.
"Her and Malfoy? Defeat Voldemort? Extreme powers?" It was all too much.
She hated him...with a passion, yet his eyes were the last thing that ran through her head as she slowly nodded off.
"Granger! Get up" somebody yelled in Hermione's ears. She slowly opened her eyes, to see Draco Malfoy's face up above her. She gasped and moved away from him as he sneered at her, his silver eyes, glaring at her, half amusedly.
"What are you doing Malfoy?" she hissed, trying get the sleep out of her eyes,
Draco rolled his eyes at her and snarled at her trying not to laugh
"Getting you up Granger, you have...15 minutes until breakfast is over, and quite frankly, the idea that you are on MY couch disgusts me"
15 minutes! Hermione thought
"Actually It's OUR couch Malfoy, Not yours" she said cooly, picking up her bag and swinging it over her shoulder.
"Whatever," he said indifferently "I am clearly the one of higher-class here, so Reallly It belongs to me"
"Malfoy, the sooner you get over your petty predjuces, the sooner we can actually get along" Hermione said. While Malfoy looked at her, amazed she would ever say such a thing
"You and me...get along? Pureblood and mudblood? Amazingly sexy guy and know-it-all bookworm?" he said as Hermione crossed her arms
"Amazingly sexy..." she pondered as Malfoy nodded,looking at her as if she had said the most sensible thing in her life ever.
Even if he is...I would NEVER admit it
"Or...NOT!" she said. "Perhaps, amazingly big-headed, stupid prat!" she said nastily, while Malfoy scowled at her with great distaste.
"Don't be so jealous, Granger. Why don't you leave this dump? And take your poorblood lackey with you. Then I can have a happy life"
Hermione snorted and walked past him, 'accidently' slamming into him as she went
"Don't forget we have a head's meeting with Dumbledore tonight," she called sweetly over her shoulder at him, while he scowled at her.
"Stupid Mudblood!" he called after her.
Draco Malfoy
God he hated her, her and her 'perfect' life 'perfect' friends. She had everything her would never have. Well, that wasn't true, her parents died, just like his mother... He hated LUCIUS and the dark 'lord'. He hated the deatheaters, mindless fools who followed Voldemort as if their life depended on it.
He now knew about his power, and no matter what his father thought, he would not let him abuse it to aid the dark side.
He sighed to himself...Now he would have to look out for that bloody bookworm as well, if Lucius knew about her powers.
