READ ON!
*~+~* (*~+~* is kindly taken from another story)
Hermione sat down eating her breakfast, ignoring Draco blatantly. She even ignored the hand the crept up her leg, playing with her teasingly.
When it got too far, Hermione slapped the hand and left the table fully aware of the lust-filled eyes that followed her.
She smirked. This was fun.
*~+~*
Hermione went into Voldemort's chambers and sat opposite the older wizard.
"Lord could I call you something more friendly?" Hermione asked curiously. "You know like call you Tom or something."
Voldemort turned to face the girl in front of him. Narrowing his eyes he detected no sign of falsehood. He nodded.
"Tom, could you teach me some of your secret spells that you don't tell anyone? Like how to do wandless magic." Hermione asked.
"It's simple really. You have to undergo intense physical pain or emotional pain in order for the power to waken." Voldemort said.
Hermione stood up and stood away from Voldemort.
"Please hit me with Crutacious." Hermione said.
"With pleasure. Crucio."
Hermione twitched and writhed on the floor. The agony was so intense that she couldn't breathe. Small shrieks of pain emitted from her mouth but nothing more.
Ten minutes into the curse, Hermione still hadn't broken. Voldemort was about to apply more pressure when he suddenly flew back.
The spell was broken and Hermione had passed out.
*~+~*
Hermione blinked to see the face of a very worried Ginny.
"Hey Ginny. What's the problem?" Hermione asked curiously. "Hey why am I in Tom's chamber?"
"Miss. Avery you wished to practice wandless magic. The intense physical pain that I put you under released the barrier that stops up the amount of power that you can use."
Draco stood there, smirking.
"Avery couldn't handle it? Tut tut tut. Losing your touch there. I guess it's the same with all Gryffindors. Can't take too much pain." Draco said with that damn smirk on his face.
"Shut up Malfoy." Hermione said angrily. The mere glare sent Draco stepping back a few paces.
"Impressive Avery."
Hermione glared at Draco again before getting to her feet.
"I'm going. This is getting too weird." Hermione said as she waved her hands around wildly. Immediately the doors flew open and Hermione stepped through them. The doors slammed as soon as she walked out.
"Very impressive."
*~+~*
Hermione paced in her/Draco's room. She needed to control her power. A mere thought made something explode or float. She'd been pacing for a few hours now and with every hour passing, something new exploded.
Sighing, she fell back on the bed. She concentrated on a book on the bookshelf and tried to make it come towards her slowly.
The book shot out of the shelf and nearly smashed into her face. Instead a hand shot out and grabbed the flying book.
"Thank god for your super fast seeker skills Malfoy." Hermione said gratefully, still keeping the façade up.
"No problem Avery." Draco said smirking.
"Can I slap that smirk off your face now?" Hermione asked innocently.
"I don't call that an award for saving your face from being slapped off by a book." Draco said as he lounged on the couch by the fire.
Hermione suddenly got an idea. She grinned evilly and walked over to the couch.
"Is this?" Hermione asked as she sat down on his lap and kissed him. She quickly worked her way down to his neck where she nipped him hard enough for blood to trickle out.
Hermione sucked on the blood greedily.
"You taste nice." Hermione said cheekily.
"What can I say? It's a habit." Draco said, the Malfoy smirk still firmly in place.
"Goodnight Draco." Hermione said as she promptly got off and with a thought sent several things flying in her direction.
Draco gaped at the girl. Cheeky little brat!
"Come back here!" Draco demanded as he summoned her (once again). "Cheeky little brat."
Hermione giggled which was promptly cut off by a kiss from Draco. Hermione inwardly grinned. Draco broke off and smiled.
"I won! I won!" Hermione cried happily.
"What?" Draco asked innocently.
"Don't worry your pretty mind about it." Hermione said.
Draco wasn't listening. He was kissing his way down Hermione's neck.
"Mmmm. Draco. That's nice."
"Come on love. Let's go to sleep."
Hermione didn't even bother to object. She merely flicked her wand and transfigured her clothing. The pair went to sleep in Draco's bed, tired.
*~+~*
Hermione's eyes fluttered open. Her surroundings were slightly different. Something warm was draped across her stomach.
Hermione rolled over to come face to face with Draco. Memories from the previous night flooded into Hermione's mind and she smiled at Draco's sleeping form.
She kissed him on the forehead.
"Wake up sleepy head." Hermione said softly before leaving to get changed.
"Aw Mina. Can't I stay in bed for just half an hour more?" Draco muttered.
"You are not doing that again!" Hermione said impatiently. "Now you get out of that bed before I get angry."
Draco grumbled about being woken up at the crack of dawn and got out of bed. Hermione kissed Draco again to make him happy and went out the corridor.
"We're going to be training to handle our new powers." Hermione said before she left.
*~+~*
Draco and Hermione stood obediently outside Voldemort's chambers while they practiced with various objects.
Hermione got her fluffy bunny to fly over to her, at 150 mp/h.
Fortunately for her, Draco still kept his seeker abilities up. Draco wasn't as powerful as she was but he had more control over the object.
A bit like his emotions. Hermione thought absently.
"Yes, a bit like my emotions." Draco said.
'Huh? Did I say that out loud? Oh my god. I hope I didn't hurt his feelings. Wait a moment. That makes me a bit of a hypocrite doesn't it? If he has control over his emotions then he can control whether or not he gets hurt or not, right? Oh my god. Such an idiot Hermione.'
"You're not an idiot." Draco said as he had the bunny circling the room.
'Alright. Either I'm insane (Draco made a disapproving noise at this) alright, or Draco can hear my thoughts. Draco, these are my thoughts. Are you listening to them?'
"Hermione. You are talking. I can hear your voice loud and clear." Draco said as he concentrated on the bunny.
'Will he stop concentrating on my bunny for a moment and realize that this a revelation here?'
"What revelation?" Draco asked curiously. The bunny dropped to the ground and he turned to face Hermione.
'I am thinking this. Can you hear me?'
-'Yeah, of course I can. Who does she think she's kidding?'-
'Say that again Draco Lucius Malfoy and I will personally slap you ten times before I hex you.'
-'What? I didn't say anything? What the hell is happening?'-
'Yeah sure, he didn't say anything. Conceited, arrogant, smug, adorable... jeeze. Can't even swear at him in my head. Man Hermione you need to see a psychiatrist.'
-'A psychiatrist? I don't think so. More like the mental doctor.'-
'Excuse me?'
Hermione glared at Draco angrily.
-'What? I didn't do a thing? Why the hell is she glaring at me? This is pissing me off!'-
'Yeah, pissing him off. He's the one who should go to a mental doctor!'
It was Draco's turn to glare at Hermione.
-'Little bitch! I refuse to go to a mental asylum!'-
'Wait, did he just call me a bitch?'
-'Huh? Jeeze, she's weird. Why's she talking to herself?'-
'You should talk!'
-'Whoa, hang on a second. I was thinking all of that. Did you HEAR that?'-
'Man you are slow! I've been thinking this as well! Man we're BOTH idiots!'
-'SICK! WE CAN READ EACHOTHER'S MIND!'-
'Draco, don't shout. It hurts my brain.'
-'Sorry. We gotta find old Tommy boy and tell him!'-
'Exactly what I've been trying to tell you for the past 15 minutes.'
Hermione stood up and went into Voldemort's chambers, and inside was Ginny.
"Hi Gin. What's up with you?" Hermione asked, as she noticed how pale the girl was.
"Nothing 'Mione. Just here in case you guys accidentally hurt yourselves." Ginny spluttered.
A strong hand placed itself on Ginny comfortingly and she relaxed slightly.
"Now, you two are both capable of wandless magic, as you know. However, Miss. Weasley has discovered that you are capable of more, that is, if you are part of the prophecy that she read." Voldemort said, as he leaned back.
'Wait, Ginny's read a prophecy and suddenly we get extra powers?'
-'Doesn't make sense to me either.'-
'But nothing ever makes sense to you.'
-'Shut up Avery.'-
'Back to last names are we?'
-'Shut up!'-
'Whatever Draco dear.'
"However, what you are not aware of, is the fact that both of you can master any known language and several unknown ones, very quickly. That is quite an advantage to the dark side since we will need a few powerful death eaters to negotiate with creatures such as vampires, banshees, werewolves, trolls, and that sort of thing." Voldemort paused to see the two children's reactions.
Hermione was gaping openly at Voldemort. Last summer she was just an extra smart muggle-born witch. Now she was some pureblood protégée that had extra powers that was super rich.
"As well as this you are both capable of unaided flight. This will take some training to master. I have not mastered it for the very reason that I just couldn't be bothered." Voldemort sighed and continued. "And finally, one of you shall be a seer, and the other will have the ability to conjure things out of thin air. That WOULD be fun."
Hermione was still gaping. However, Draco was standing there, looking extremely bored. Hermione nearly slapped him but restrained herself. How could he be so disrespectful?
'What an arrogant little...'
-'An arrogant little what?'-
'Shut up you!'
-'No thanks.'-
'Shut up Draco or I WILL make you!'
-'Speak for yourself HERMIONE.'-
'Argh! You are so IRRITATING!'
-'Why thank you very much! My main goal in life is to irritate you as much as possible.'-
'Git.'
-'Hey! That is RUDE!'-
'Speak for yourself DRACO.'
-'Don't use MY comebacks.'-
'Fine then.'
-'Fine then.'-
'Practice what you preach.'
-'What are you now? A priest?'-
'Arrogant little, butt-faced, PIG!'
-'Bitch.'-
'You know, I would be feeling sorry for you for being so ugly but no, I'm too busy feeling sorry for myself for having to look at you! HA!'
-'Bitch.'-
'Is that all you can think of?'
-'Shut up!'-
'Wow, you're unoriginal.'
-'You are THE MOST irritating person I have EVER met in my WHOLE... ENTIRE... LIFE!'-
'Why thank you.'
Voldemort cleared his throat and snatched the attention of the two teens in their silent battle. They immediately snapped their heads to attention.
*~Voldemort's perception of Draco and Hermione's silent fight~*
I watched as my two protégées started making wild gestures at each other without uttering a word. This WAS amusing. More amusing than the crutacious curse, and that was saying something.
Hermione threw her arms in the air in desperation. I chuckled slightly. This really WAS funny. Draco looked smug in return.
Hermione then glared at Draco viciously and Draco looked very indignant about what she said. Now Hermione looked smug. This is confusing. What was happening? This really IS confusing.
Then they just glared at each other. This isn't supposed to happen. They're supposed to BOND. Not glare at each other like no tomorrow! Right, Draco just raised an eyebrow at Hermione and she just gestures at him fiercely.
Now that was funny. I've NEVER seen a Malfoy lose their cool but this WAS funny. I just saw Draco Malfoy lose his cool. That REALLY is strange.
Now Hermione looks really victorious and Draco is just rolling his eyes. He shouldn't do that. It's bad for the persona he shows. Alright, now Draco just looks INDIGNANT. That's weird. Ha, this really is funny.
Right, we've wasted enough time. I clear my throat and they just snap to attention with amazement on their faces. Now I've NEVER EVER seen an Avery with a look of astonishment like Hermione did just then. Ha, I could be amused all day by this.
*~End of Voldemort's point of view~*
"Now that you've finished you're amusing little gesture battle, what are your opinions?" Voldemort queried.
Hermione blushed ever so slightly.
"I haven't exactly experienced any of the specific powers. But wandless magic has already shown itself and I DO have a knack at learning languages. When I attended my muggle primary school we learnt French and I found it extremely easy. I thought it was just my know-it-all brain kicking in." Hermione stopped blabbering as she reprimanded herself.
'Sap! Are you an idiot Hermione? You're blabbering in front of your master, Lord and teacher. You are such a sap!'
-'The great Hermione Granger admits to herself that she's a sap that blabbers too much. It's a miracle thank the gods!'-
'SHUT UP DRACONIS LUCIUS MALFOY!'
-'Looks like the know-it-all doesn't know my full name. It's actually just Draco Lucius Malfoy, not DRACONIS. That is REALLY idiotic.'-
'ARGH!'
"And you Draco?"
"Well my lord, I have done a little unaided flight. When I'm extremely angry I tend to float a couple of meters. I've also had some flashes of images. I don't really understand them but I think I'm the seer. Which means HERMIONE gets to conjure things from the air." Draco said, his voice full of envy.
"WOOHOO!" Hermione pumped her fist in the air in triumph.
'In your face FERRET!'
-'If you call me ferret again I will personally make sure you are PERMANENTLY turned into one.'-
'Shut up ferret. I'm better at Transfiguration.'
-'I topped the subject last year so HA!'-
'DAMN! No wait, you tied WITH ME! So HA!'
-'But I topped Potions AND, please stress AND, Arithmancy AND, again please stress AND, Ancient Runes. Both Arithmancy and Ancient Runes you do alongside me and I topped all three subjects. Beat that!'-
'I topped Charms, Care of Magical Creatures, and History of Magic. Explain THAT mister.'
-'SIMPLE! Care of magical creatures is because that great...'-
'DON'T YOU DARE CALL HIM NAMES!'
-'Alright, because PROFESSOR Hagrid favours you and Potty and Weasel, and History of Magic because you actually DON'T fall asleep. I take notes but I end up falling asleep towards the end that I miss some of the important details. Well, Charms is because you're good at it.'-
Draco was looking very smug and had his infamous smirk plastered on his face. Hermione was completely outraged.
'And the only reason you topped Potions is because SNAPE FAVOURS YOU BEYOND BELIEF! And you topped Ancient Runes because the teacher is a friend of your father!'
-'I'm one up on you. I topped DADA along with Potty.'-
'I can't believe I'm listening to you. I REFUSE TO DEAL WITH YOUR CHILDISH COMPETITIVENESS!'
-'So deal. I'm not going away any time soon. In case you haven't noticed this is my mansion.'-
'Stuff you Malfoy.'
-'I extend the same courtesy to you Avery.'-
"You shall be practicing to master these new powers." Voldemort said after waiting a few minutes. "That is all. Dismissed."
Hermione walked out with Draco tailing. Once out of earshot, she immediately started yelling at him.
"YOU ARE SO DISRESPECTFUL! WHAT WOULD YOUR FATHER SAY IF HE KNEW THAT YOU WERE BEING SUCH A JERK TOWARDS OUR LORD? THAT MOVE COULD GET YOU CRUCIFIED. DO YOU WANT ME TO DIE OF SHOCK HORROR?" Hermione shrieked shrilly.
"You really shouldn't yell. Sound travels far along these corridors." Draco said softly.
"I DON'T GIVE A FUCK!" Hermione said at the top of her voice. "NOW UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE CRUCIFIED YOU WILL BE RESPECTFUL!"
Draco was stunned. He didn't think Hermione would get this worked up. It was rather cute really, her face was flushed, and her eyes burned brightly in anger, and her whole body was trembling.
"Shhhhh."
-'Calm down Hermione.'-
Draco cupped Hermione's cheek and watched as her anger left her face. She closed her eyes for a moment and when she opened them she saw Ginny standing there with Blaise.
"Hi Ginny."
Ginny smirked.
"I didn't know that Draco was THAT imposing. Merely cupped your cheek and you calm down." Ginny teased.
"I could say the same for you." Hermione retorted. "Tell me, is one simple shoulder squeeze really enough for you to relax and get your confidence back?"
Ginny blushed and moved slightly closer to Blaise.
"So, what's with you being in Voldemort's chamber?" Draco asked Blaise curiously. "I thought that you didn't want to be a death eater."
"I was persuaded otherwise." Blaise cocked his head. "Can you guess how?"
Draco feigned idiocy.
"Duh, I dunno Blaise, why don't you tell me?" Draco asked in his best retarded voice.
'That's right, act the retard you are.'
Draco turned fiercely on Hermione. He stuck a finger at Hermione and prodded her in the chest.
-'You should talk!'-
Hermione was greatly offended.
"Excuse me?" Hermione whispered in a deadly voice.
'Ungrateful psychotic bastard!'
Draco raised a thin eyebrow questioningly as his icy stare searched the depths of her chocolate eyes. Suddenly he burst out laughing.
"Hermione, you really have to watch your language." Draco chuckled. "Perhaps you should block me out of your mind."
"How?" Hermione asked, completing forgetting about the other two. "I can't feel you in my mind."
"I'll do some romping then!" Draco's eyes glinted at the idea of romping around in Hermione's mind.
Immediately he sought out the connection he felt before and sent himself down the connection. A silver cord spilt from his body sending him into the silver shadow Draco. Once in his shadow body, he watched his body collapse to the floor.
-'Don't worry Hermione. I'm fine.'-
Draco watched Hermione relax after catching his body. Looking around, he looked at everyone's auras curiously. Dipping his hand into his black streak he felt the dark power course through him. He immediately knew that was his wicked streak. It tainted his otherwise pure silver and green aura.
Looking at Hermione he looked in amazement at the mix of silver, gold, red, and green. It looked like a Christmas decoration. Her aura had a dimmed look about it and dipping his hand into the dimmed aura he felt the dark power course through him again.
Spinning around he saw that Ginny and Blaise had left. Sighing, Draco stepped into Hermione completely and felt his mind being absorbed completely by Hermione's body. He nearly cried out softly in pain at the ripping sensation he felt.
He no longer could feel that connection with his body anymore. Opening his eyes he saw himself staring at his body. Draco separated himself from Hermione's mind to prevent the melding of their two minds. Draco smiled inwardly.
Hermione felt a jerking in her mind. Ah, Draco. Delving into the depths of her mind she found his presence riffling through her memories. Summoning some inner energy she wrapped her mind around his and threw him out of her mind and felt a ripping sensation.
The girl fell to the ground and clutched her head in pain. There was a ringing in her ears and an extremely painful stinging in her mind. She felt a hand cup her cheek. That would be Draco.
"'Mione. 'Mione." Draco called softly as Hermione writhed in pain. He knew that she wouldn't be injured that much. Grabbing his wand, Draco quickly murmured a pain blocking spell.
Hermione blinked slightly as her view came into focus. Draco was hovering above her with a slightly worried expression on his face.
"I'm fine Draco." Hermione soothed before passing out.
*~+~*
A/N: Alright, I reckon the mind talk thing was funny. It'll stop. You know that whole elaborate dance just then. Well this mind talk thing is just a manifestation of all their extra power. :P K, review! I'll try to put another chapter out soon. Holidays and all. I'm sorry I haven't updated regularly and I extended this chapter for compensation. It was half the size before I extended it so yeah.

"As well as this you are both capable of unaided flight. This will take some training to master. I have not mastered it for the very reason that I just couldn't be bothered." Voldemort sighed and continued. "And finally, one of you shall be a seer, and the other will have the ability to conjure things out of thin air. That WOULD be fun."
Hermione was still gaping. However, Draco was standing there, looking extremely bored. Hermione nearly slapped him but restrained herself. How could he be so disrespectful?
'What an arrogant little...'
-'An arrogant little what?'-
'Shut up you!'
-'No thanks.'-
'Shut up Draco or I WILL make you!'
-'Speak for yourself HERMIONE.'-
'Argh! You are so IRRITATING!'
-'Why thank you very much! My main goal in life is to irritate you as much as possible.'-
'Git.'
-'Hey! That is RUDE!'-
'Speak for yourself DRACO.'
-'Don't use MY comebacks.'-
'Fine then.'
-'Fine then.'-
'Practice what you preach.'
-'What are you now? A priest?'-
'Arrogant little, butt-faced, PIG!'
-'Bitch.'-
'You know, I would be feeling sorry for you for being so ugly but no, I'm too busy feeling sorry for myself for having to look at you! HA!'
-'Bitch.'-
'Is that all you can think of?'
-'Shut up!'-
'Wow, you're unoriginal.'
-'You are THE MOST irritating person I have EVER met in my WHOLE... ENTIRE... LIFE!'-
'Why thank you.'
Voldemort cleared his throat and snatched the attention of the two teens in their silent battle. They immediately snapped their heads to attention.
*~Voldemort's perception of Draco and Hermione's silent fight~*
I watched as my two protégées started making wild gestures at each other without uttering a word. This WAS amusing. More amusing than the crutacious curse, and that was saying something.
Hermione threw her arms in the air in desperation. I chuckled slightly. This really WAS funny. Draco looked smug in return.
Hermione then glared at Draco viciously and Draco looked very indignant about what she said. Now Hermione looked smug. This is confusing. What was happening? This really IS confusing.
Then they just glared at each other. This isn't supposed to happen. They're supposed to BOND. Not glare at each other like no tomorrow! Right, Draco just raised an eyebrow at Hermione and she just gestures at him fiercely.
Now that was funny. I've NEVER seen a Malfoy lose their cool but this WAS funny. I just saw Draco Malfoy lose his cool. That REALLY is strange.
Now Hermione looks really victorious and Draco is just rolling his eyes. He shouldn't do that. It's bad for the persona he shows. Alright, now Draco just looks INDIGNANT. That's weird. Ha, this really is funny.
Right, we've wasted enough time. I clear my throat and they just snap to attention with amazement on their faces. Now I've NEVER EVER seen an Avery with a look of astonishment like Hermione did just then. Ha, I could be amused all day by this.
*~End of Voldemort's point of view~*
"Now that you've finished you're amusing little gesture battle, what are your opinions?" Voldemort queried.
Hermione blushed ever so slightly.
"I haven't exactly experienced any of the specific powers. But wandless magic has already shown itself and I DO have a knack at learning languages. When I attended my muggle primary school we learnt French and I found it extremely easy. I thought it was just my know-it-all brain kicking in." Hermione stopped blabbering as she reprimanded herself.
'Sap! Are you an idiot Hermione? You're blabbering in front of your master, Lord and teacher. You are such a sap!'
-'The great Hermione Granger admits to herself that she's a sap that blabbers too much. It's a miracle thank the gods!'-
'SHUT UP DRACONIS LUCIUS MALFOY!'
-'Looks like the know-it-all doesn't know my full name. It's actually just Draco Lucius Malfoy, not DRACONIS. That is REALLY idiotic.'-
'ARGH!'
"And you Draco?"
"Well my lord, I have done a little unaided flight. When I'm extremely angry I tend to float a couple of meters. I've also had some flashes of images. I don't really understand them but I think I'm the seer. Which means HERMIONE gets to conjure things from the air." Draco said, his voice full of envy.
"WOOHOO!" Hermione pumped her fist in the air in triumph.
'In your face FERRET!'
-'If you call me ferret again I will personally make sure you are PERMANENTLY turned into one.'-
'Shut up ferret. I'm better at Transfiguration.'
-'I topped the subject last year so HA!'-
'DAMN! No wait, you tied WITH ME! So HA!'
-'But I topped Potions AND, please stress AND, Arithmancy AND, again please stress AND, Ancient Runes. Both Arithmancy and Ancient Runes you do alongside me and I topped all three subjects. Beat that!'-
'I topped Charms, Care of Magical Creatures, and History of Magic. Explain THAT mister.'
-'SIMPLE! Care of magical creatures is because that great...'-
'DON'T YOU DARE CALL HIM NAMES!'
-'Alright, because PROFESSOR Hagrid favours you and Potty and Weasel, and History of Magic because you actually DON'T fall asleep. I take notes but I end up falling asleep towards the end that I miss some of the important details. Well, Charms is because you're good at it.'-
Draco was looking very smug and had his infamous smirk plastered on his face. Hermione was completely outraged.
'And the only reason you topped Potions is because SNAPE FAVOURS YOU BEYOND BELIEF! And you topped Ancient Runes because the teacher is a friend of your father!'
-'I'm one up on you. I topped DADA along with Potty.'-
'I can't believe I'm listening to you. I REFUSE TO DEAL WITH YOUR CHILDISH COMPETITIVENESS!'
-'So deal. I'm not going away any time soon. In case you haven't noticed this is my mansion.'-
'Stuff you Malfoy.'
-'I extend the same courtesy to you Avery.'-
"You shall be practicing to master these new powers." Voldemort said after waiting a few minutes. "That is all. Dismissed."
Hermione walked out with Draco tailing. Once out of earshot, she immediately started yelling at him.
"YOU ARE SO DISRESPECTFUL! WHAT WOULD YOUR FATHER SAY IF HE KNEW THAT YOU WERE BEING SUCH A JERK TOWARDS OUR LORD? THAT MOVE COULD GET YOU CRUCIFIED. DO YOU WANT ME TO DIE OF SHOCK HORROR?" Hermione shrieked shrilly.
"You really shouldn't yell. Sound travels far along these corridors." Draco said softly.
"I DON'T GIVE A FUCK!" Hermione said at the top of her voice. "NOW UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE CRUCIFIED YOU WILL BE RESPECTFUL!"
Draco was stunned. He didn't think Hermione would get this worked up. It was rather cute really, her face was flushed, and her eyes burned brightly in anger, and her whole body was trembling.
"Shhhhh."
-'Calm down Hermione.'-
Draco cupped Hermione's cheek and watched as her anger left her face. She closed her eyes for a moment and when she opened them she saw Ginny standing there with Blaise.
"Hi Ginny."
Ginny smirked.
"I didn't know that Draco was THAT imposing. Merely cupped your cheek and you calm down." Ginny teased.
"I could say the same for you." Hermione retorted. "Tell me, is one simple shoulder squeeze really enough for you to relax and get your confidence back?"
Ginny blushed and moved slightly closer to Blaise.
"So, what's with you being in Voldemort's chamber?" Draco asked Blaise curiously. "I thought that you didn't want to be a death eater."
"I was persuaded otherwise." Blaise cocked his head. "Can you guess how?"
Draco feigned idiocy.
"Duh, I dunno Blaise, why don't you tell me?" Draco asked in his best retarded voice.
'That's right, act the retard you are.'
Draco turned fiercely on Hermione. He stuck a finger at Hermione and prodded her in the chest.
-'You should talk!'-
Hermione was greatly offended.
"Excuse me?" Hermione whispered in a deadly voice.
'Ungrateful psychotic bastard!'
Draco raised a thin eyebrow questioningly as his icy stare searched the depths of her chocolate eyes. Suddenly he burst out laughing.
"Hermione, you really have to watch your language." Draco chuckled. "Perhaps you should block me out of your mind."
"How?" Hermione asked, completing forgetting about the other two. "I can't feel you in my mind."
"I'll do some romping then!" Draco's eyes glinted at the idea of romping around in Hermione's mind.
Immediately he sought out the connection he felt before and sent himself down the connection. A silver cord spilt from his body sending him into the silver shadow Draco. Once in his shadow body, he watched his body collapse to the floor.
-'Don't worry Hermione. I'm fine.'-
Draco watched Hermione relax after catching his body. Looking around, he looked at everyone's auras curiously. Dipping his hand into his black streak he felt the dark power course through him. He immediately knew that was his wicked streak. It tainted his otherwise pure silver and green aura.
Looking at Hermione he looked in amazement at the mix of silver, gold, red, and green. It looked like a Christmas decoration. Her aura had a dimmed look about it and dipping his hand into the dimmed aura he felt the dark power course through him again.
Spinning around he saw that Ginny and Blaise had left. Sighing, Draco stepped into Hermione completely and felt his mind being absorbed completely by Hermione's body. He nearly cried out softly in pain at the ripping sensation he felt.
He no longer could feel that connection with his body anymore. Opening his eyes he saw himself staring at his body. Draco separated himself from Hermione's mind to prevent the melding of their two minds. Draco smiled inwardly.
Hermione felt a jerking in her mind. Ah, Draco. Delving into the depths of her mind she found his presence riffling through her memories. Summoning some inner energy she wrapped her mind around his and threw him out of her mind and felt a ripping sensation.
The girl fell to the ground and clutched her head in pain. There was a ringing in her ears and an extremely painful stinging in her mind. She felt a hand cup her cheek. That would be Draco.
"'Mione. 'Mione." Draco called softly as Hermione writhed in pain. He knew that she wouldn't be injured that much. Grabbing his wand, Draco quickly murmured a pain blocking spell.
Hermione blinked slightly as her view came into focus. Draco was hovering above her with a slightly worried expression on his face.
"I'm fine Draco." Hermione soothed before passing out.

A/N: Alright, I reckon the mind talk thing was funny. It'll stop. You know that whole elaborate dance just then. Well this mind talk thing is just a manifestation of all their extra power. :P K, review! I'll try to put another chapter out soon. Holidays and all. I'm sorry I haven't updated regularly and I extended this chapter for compensation. It was half the size before I extended it so yeah.
Slytherin's Dark Angel: TOMMY BOY?! Hmm... interesting...
