I was scared to death. Blaise, the one person who could blow it all for us had us trapped.
In a torture room.
I tried not to panic. (Which I may add is quite hard to do when you see knifes glittering right next to you.)
"Hello Blaise." I said calmly and cooly. "You were just interrupting Draco and I." I lied easily. He rolled his eyes at me.
"Oh shove it Granger. I know who you really are." he said wickedly. I gulped.
Oh God.
"It was too easy. Him just happening to sneak out. Since your not Pansy, I knew Dumbledore had sent his precious Head Girl and Boy to stop this all." he said, leaning against the wall. "He had a good plan, just he never expected someone as smart as me to figure it out."
Double gulp. But there was no way in hell I was going to show my fear. Then I got an idea.
"I always knew you were smart Blaise." I started, my voice becoming sultry. "And the fact that your on the dark side..." I trailed off. Seeing Draco behind Blaise's shoulder. (Blaise must have knocked him out earlier.) I put my arms around Blaise, and behind his shoulder motioned Draco to go attack him. "I just can't help but just feel the attraction..." I lied as I looked deeply into Blaise's eyes. Draco then jumped on him, knocking him to the ground. I jumped back asDraco got Blaise's hands behind his back and looked to me.
"As much as I hate it, we have to kill him." I stated simply. Dracolooked a bit shocked, this was probably his childhood friend I was talking about killing. "Draco, he'll blab then WE'LL die. You know I wouldn't harm anyone but..." I trailed off.He sighed.
"Your right." hesaid finally."I'm sorry mate." he said softly. "Hermione get me a sword." I nodded and headed over to get a sword, when Blaise broke Draco's grip and punched Draco. They were soon in an all out fight, when Blaise pulled out his own sword.
"Draco!" I called, throwing the sword I had just gotten to him. I had no idea what to do.
"Hermione just go, I'll take care of him!" he said with difficulty. I looked at him one more time, he could fend Blaise off. (I hoped.)I bunched up my skirts, undid the locking charms of the room,and fled down the dark hall.
I did eventually find the dungeons.
"Hermione!" Ginny cried.
"SHH!" I answered.
"Hermione?" Harry asked in suprise as his eyes got big. "Wow, you should dress like that more often..." he said staring at me.
"HEY! Your MY boyfriend!" Ginny pointed out and jerked Harry's faceso he looked at her. He blushed as I looked around for keys.
"Where are the bloody keys?" I muttered.
"Underneath that snake." Ginny said. I swallowed as I saw she was right. A big, nice, DEADLY cobra was on the keys.
"Uh, Harry, mind to take care of the snake?" I asked him. He nodded.
"Of course." and he started to hiss in the language that only he and the snake knew. Soon the snake released it's hold on the keys and I quickly scooped up the keys and unlocked the cage.
"Okay, now I need everyone to listen to me!" I said. "We're going to bring you all back to Hogwarts but you need to listen to my instructions. Split up into groups of five and I'll pop you back to Hogwarts. When you get there you better head to Dumbledore. Ginny." I directed. "Give me a report when you can. Harry be careful." I paused as I caught Ron's eye. It wasn't as cold as I expected but it gave me a chill down my spine
"Okay everyone, let's get this started."
Draco showed up about half way through and we were able to get everyone back before the end of theparty. As we entered the party hall I asked him.
"You took care of Blaise right?"
"Define 'taken care of'." he answered I froze.
"You mean you didn't kill him?" I said.
That's when I noticed the stares we were getting.
"I knocked him out Hermione. I couldn't kill him." he confessed. Then I noticed the crowd coming in on us. "He probably woke up a little while ago and knowing him, he snitched.So everyone knows about you."
"Me? What about you?" I asked.
"Ah my dear, you had us fooled." Lucious Malfoyinterrupted with a evil laugh. I looked around as I saw Dracodrift totheir side.
"Draco?" I asked.
"You didn't know? He's a death eater, only our new breed, so they won't be so detectable." Draco only shook his head sadly as two men came up from behind and held me back."He's been playing you all along my dear. As much as your girly thoughts may think that he's your prince your sadly mistaken." he laughed. "Any last words Draco?"Draco walked up to me and looked very scary as he leaned to whisper in my ear. I expected something that would chill me to the bone but instead got.
"One the count of three, focus all your energy on the diamond you have around your neck and think of Hogwarts. And Hermione, forgive me." I looked at him but he gave me a small smile. But I puzzled, 'Forgive me?'
I got my answer when Draco brought something upon my head and just when I got to three and from there everything when black.
"Draco! She's awake!" I heard someone say. I groaned, my head felt like some truck had slammed into it. Ididn't dare open my eyes and rested my hands on my head, wishing the pain would go away.But that voice sounded familiar...
Narcissa.
HUH?
"Narcissa?" I asked as I opened my eyes fully and blinked a couple times to get used to the light. She smiled.
"Yes Hermione it's me. You gave us quite a scare, dear." I blinked.
"Where am I?"
"We're in the hospital wing at Hogwarts." she explained as she gave me a potion."For the pain." I nodded and downed the potionin one gulp. Draco came into the room.
"Hermione!" he said and hugged me. "I'm sorry I had to strike you but I had to put a show for father." I nodded and leaned into his embrace.
"But why are you here Narcissa?" I asked. She grinned.
"I've known all along." My jaw dropped.
"Known about what?"
"That you were undercover." she answered.
"How..how..." I asked, shocked.
"I have my ways. How else would you have gotten that jewel?" I then paused as I remembered the little things I had thought about. Things she had said or done that I thought were strange. It hit me, she really did. She was trying to help us all along the way.
"Wow, I suppose, thank you." I said.
"No need to thank me dear. We've got bigger things to worry about." Draco nodded.
"The death eaters will want revenge, but they won't attack now, it's too heated. Hogwarts is now back in full use so they will wait a while. But they will strike." Draco explained. Narcissa left us alone for a minute
"Are you really a death eater?" I asked Draco. He paused.
"I was made one against my will. But my father is right, I am a new breed, we don't have a mark but we know when we are being called. I've been waiting forever for a chance to get away." he explained. I nodded.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"I knew you would never have anything to do with a death eater." he said looking away.
"Hey, I love you. I don't care what you are exactly. Just as long as your yourself I'll be happy."
"You love me?" he asked.
"Don't ask me how. I've loathed you for the longest time, but I dunno, being you all this time, you've grown on me." I said. He smiled.
"Same here." I raised an eyebrow. But before this went all romantic comedyish, Istill hadone question was still in my mind.
"Where do we go from here?" I asked.
"We try to be as normal as possible before the war. I can't promise anything, for all we know we could both die. And you have to be careful." he said seriously.
"Does this mean I get breakfast in bed?" I teased. He laughed.
"Maybe."
"I can't believe what has happened in all this time." I stated.
"I fel lin love with my enemy, was a spy for the first time, my ex could be dangerous, and I'm stuck in a brewing war." I sighed.
"Well at least I can leave this school without feeling like this year was boring..."
Wow, I'm sorry I took so long to update! But summer for me is almost here so these things will come out faster, I promise! (Yea most people would be at the beach but alas there is now beach in sight.) I hope you all liked this be-lated chapter!
