A/N: Okay, you guys are just like super lucky. I had dinner plans last night, but my friend got sick so she couldn't go, so I decided to write another chapter. I finished most of my finals and am a procrastinator and won't study for the others till next weeks, so I wrote. However, don't plan on this often. Normally when I anticipate not getting a chapter out it probably will be true, you readers have just been lucky the last few times.
I want to thank StarBryte234, Harry-Potter-Fanatic, Jasmijn, and Chrissy8887779999 for your reviews. Like I said before, the reviews actually motivate me to write, so review and chapters come more.
I am still undecided on how long this fanfiction will be. It all depends on how long it take me to write certain scenes that I want played out and whatever scenes end up being popped in my head. I am still a little hesitant on certain ships, so, please, give me feedback on what you like. Like I said before I don't have a preference except for Dramione, but this fic, with how it is going in my head, I might end up with a Blaise/Ginny romance, but then I started looking a head and there is a slight chance for a Blaise/Pansy ship, so like I said let me know.
Can't think of anything else to post, so here is Chapter 6.
--------------------------------------------
CHAPTER 6
"Pansy, leave me alone!" shouted Blaise.
"But Blaise," whined Pansy. "I need your help to get my Drakey back!"
"Pansy, Draco was never yours to begin with. Even when he was being forced to be engaged with you he wasn't yours. Now leave me alone, I won't help you!"
"Fine, I will get Crabbe and Goyle to help me!" shouted Pansy back at him, while stomping away.
'Oh, a Goyle, Pansy, and Crabbe plan to get Draco to like Pansy, this will be interesting. Where is Draco by the way? He should be back now. Better go see if I can find information," thought Blaise. He then got up and left the common room, double-checking to make sure Pansy wasn't following him.
------------------------------------------
"So Sam, have you heard any news?" asked Padma. Padma and Sam became best friends during 5th year and had been close ever since. Slowly, Luna also joined in, but she wasn't a definite until the middle of 6th year. Luna even spent more time sleeping in the 7th girl dorms than in the 6th girl dorms because, one, there was more space with Sam staying in the Head Girl rooms and there only being Padma and another Ravenclaw 7th year, two Luna liked them better than her own 6th year roommates, and three because Padma and Sam hung out with people Luna liked.
"No. I even asked Neville and he hadn't heard anything from the boys, and they would've definitely heard about Hermione. But apparently Ron is on a rampage," answered Sam.
"I bet he is. You know, they say people with fiery red hair have fiery tempers," said Luna.
"Really? Where did you hear that?" asked Padma.
"It was a story my mum wrote before she passed away. She wrote it for my dad's newspaper," answered Luna. Luna's dad was editor of the Quibbler, a wizard newspaper that printed far-fetched stories, but Luna believed them all to be true.
"Luna, you know that isn't true," said Padma.
"Yes it is," said Luna.
Sam realizing the argument about to come decided it was time to leave. Besides, she could catch up with Neville and they had head duties to discuss. Especially the Halloween Ball. They had to decide what the theme and decorations would be. After that thought, Sam decided it was time to bid farewell to her friends and head to the Head Dorms.
"Alright guys, I gotta go find Neville and work on Head Duties, so I will see you guys later," said Sam.
Padma and Luna both stopped their squabbling to answer with a "bye" and then went back to their arguing. Sam then left the room.
-----------------------------------------
"So what do you think happened to Hermione," asked Lavender.
"I don't know, but I feel bad for her being stuck with Snape and Malfoy," answered Parvati.
"I know," said Ginny. For the past half hour, the three Gryffindor girls had been discussing the happenings of the afternoon.
"But let's not forget our punishment for trying to protect Hermione," stated Lavender. "It so isn't even fair that McGonagall gave us a month of detention because we were saving Hermione from that pug-faced cow of a Slytherin, her brain dead sheep Millicent, and Draco's two goons, Tweedle Dumb and Tweedle Dumber!" Hermione had started calling Crabbe and Goyle Tweedle Dumb and Tweedle Dumber at the beginning of 6th year and even though the other girls had no idea what the reference was, they still called them that.
"You forgot Zambini," said Parvati.
"Blaise, is cool though," answered Ginny.
"Yeah, he doesn't need a name. He is actually somewhat nice to us, doesn't make fun of us. Plus he is hott," said Lavender.
"Hey guys, I don't mean to interrupt, but have any of you talked to Sam or Neville to see if any new information has been heard? It has been 15 minutes," said Ginny.
"No, but I will go see if the boys heard anything new," answered Lavender.
She then got up and left the room, leaving both Ginny and Parvati with smirks on their face. They all knew Lavender had a crush on one of the boys and was going over to show off her new clothes (which she had bought in Hogsmade and changed into once they got back). Now all they had to do was figure out who she had a crush on, which shouldn't be hard because Lavender never could keep a secret.
----------------------------------------
"Let me get this straight Severus, Draco and Hermione were about ready to start dueling when Miss Parkinson fired a spell towards Hermione, consequently having everyone else send spells at them, except a select few. With the spells all colliding near Mr. Malfoy and Miss. Granger, they turned them into their 6 year-old selves with their memory and none other of the time. Also, Miss. Granger also has a hurt right leg along with other scratches," said Dumbledore.
"Yes, that is what I have gathered so far. And I, also, believe Mr. Malfoy may have some injuries but hasn't confessed to them on account of fear of being in trouble for showing them," answered Snape.
Both Dumbledore and Snape knew of how Draco was raised and that when he was a child, having cuts and bruises were fine and you never told anyone you had them and you never showed pain for them. Although, Draco was trying to follow that rule, he was 6 years old and would wince occasionally when his knee would hurt him.
"Very well. I will have two of the house elves accompany them to Madam Pomfry. I need you and Professor McGonagall here to discuss what to do with Mr. Malfoy and Miss. Granger," said Dumbledore.
He then summoned two house elves that looked exactly like Dobby.
"You called, sir," answered one of the house elves. This one was a little bit taller than the other and had blue eyes while the other had purple.
"Yes, Pokey, I would like you and Poy to accompany Miss. Granger and Mr. Malfoy to the Hospital Wing and stay with them. Until I let you know, you and Poy will watch over them," said Dumbledore to Pokey, the taller elf with blue eyes.
"Yes sir," he answered back. He along with Poy went to Draco and Hermione who had been looking at the pictures and Fawkes. She had been nervous when first meeting Fawkes, but Dumbledore just told her it was a rare type of bird and that was why she had never seen one before. Hermione was a little unsure, but wanted to believe the old man so she trusted him. The concept of the pictures was also a problem for Hermione. When she at first saw then she had been edgy, but Dumbledore had told her it was a new type of technology and she remembered her daddy saying that one day pictures would move. (He said it as a joke, but Hermione didn't know that.)
"Children," said Poy. "We will be a taking you to the Hospital Wing."
Hermione then turned around and screamed, causing the house elf to hold her ears in her hand and the three males to look at Hermione. When she was done screaming, Draco then burst into giggles, while Dumbledore and Snape walked over to see what happened.
"What's wrong Hermione," asked Dumbledore. When Hermione first met Dumbledore, she had been a little shy but now she was open with him and act like she had always known him. She was still a little hesitant towards Snape, and so far despised Draco.
"It's scary," was all she gave for an answer.
Draco was still giggling, but after hearing the last remark was out right laughing, practically crying.
Hermione then got angry and retaliated. She didn't like being laughed at, especially by Draco.
"What's so funny," she demanded.
"You," Draco said.
"What," she asked.
"Yyyyyoooooouuuuuuuu," replied Draco, except slower so she could hear it. "Who in their right mind is scared of a house elf?!"
"A house elf? Well I will tell you that I have never seen those things before!" said Hermione. She was now angry because now Draco had something to use when he made fun of her. Draco then stopped laughing to stare at Hermione as if she had two heads. Everyone had a house elf, unless they were poor, but Hermione didn't look poor, she had nice clothes and looked well brought up. (A/N: Draco has only been taught a little bit about muggles and muggleborns, but he doesn't realize Hermione could be one-well right now.)
"You mean, you don't have a house elf?" asked Draco as if it was the most outrageous concept ever.
"No. Why, are we supposed to?" asked Hermione, somewhat relieved Draco wasn't making fun of her.
"Of course. All important families have them. Who does all the cleaning and stuff in your house?"
"Well, um, my mummy and daddy do it. And sometimes I help," answered Hermione. She thought her family was important but was confused as to why they didn't have a house elf.
Dumbledore, not wanting to confuse Hermione anymore, decided to end the conversation by getting them on their way to the hospital wing. Moreover, he needed to discuss matters with Snape and McGonagall.
"Children, how about some Lemon Drops?" he asked.
"Okay," they both answered. Pokey and Poy then took them to see Madam Pomfry, leaving Dumbledore with Snape.
"What are we going to do with them," asked Snape once he was sure they were out of hearing range.
"Well, I will have to talk to McGonagall, but I believe we will set up a room for the two with all the necessities of two 6 year olds, and rotate baby-sitting schedules," answered Dumbledore.
"How will it work?" asked Snape, somewhat curious.
"I'm not sure. I have to talk to Professor McGonagall. Now I hate to do this, but I believe you should talk to Professor McGonagall regarding the punishment of the others involved. I believe she gave them a month's worth of detention with both of you, depending on who needed them."
"Yes, those students are in trouble. It was quite a nuisance walking with those two back. Once they realized talking to the other was perfectly safe, they decided arguing was the newest and best thing to do," said Snape, reminiscing the past twenty minutes in his head, making him even more angrier. "If you excuse me I think I shall go to my quarters and go to bed. I seem to have acquired a headache." "Of course," answered Dumbledore.
Snape then left the room, and Dumbledore summoned Professor Lupin to his office.
------------------------------------------------
Five minutes later, Professor Lupin was standing in Dumbledore's office, hearing the story of Hermione and Draco's misfortune.
"Wow, that's interesting," said Lupin.
"Yes, it is. But in order to change them back to their 17 year old selves, a spell or potion must be created since I can't think of one already made. I would like you along with other professors to scout the area and look for spells performed. Once we know them all we shall research them and try to figure out how it happened and a way to correct it," said Dumbledore.
"Who would you like me to take?" asked Lupin.
"It is entirely up to you, but I do recommend taking Severus. His skill in potion could be of some use to you there."
"Okay. I will let you know when we find anything, and will start the search tomorrow."
"Thank you Remus."
"Your welcome Headmaster. And if you need any help with Hermione or Mr. Malfoy, let me know."
"Of course," answered Dumbledore.
Lupin then left the room.
--------------------------------------------------
END OF CHAPTER 6
Okay, I know, not too much Draco and Hermione interaction. But next chapter should be full of it. I just wanted to get the other stuff out of the way. Look for the next chapter to be up this weekend sometime, or tomorrow if my plans cancel, which might happen with my luck this past week :, but they shouldn't, so wait till this weekend.
Okay, um, review please. Also, let me know what you think so far. Oh and as for the house elves talking different, I am not sure if I will write their dialect that way, I am leaning towards doing it, but I am not sure, it is kind of annoying. So let me know if you care or not.
Can't think of anything else of importance, um, just tell me if you think I should work on anything-like I said before, I am open to constructive criticism.
So, review, review, and um review, they keep the chapters coming.
