Ok, I know this chapter's short, and I'm sorry. But I feel it's really a good place to leave off. Besides it answers one of the more common questions. Maybe the next chapter will have answers to a few more. I already updated one today and I might update again tonight or tomorrow morning. If not then I'll try to make the next update long. But I can't promise anything. Thank you for your reviews; this is my most popular story ever. And for those of you reading Coven War's, I am seriously stumped on the next chapter. I'm not sure what to do so for the time being I'm going to finish this story and return to Coven War's later. If anyone has any ideas, please tell me, they may help me along. Thanks!

Insanity-is-my-life: there is more to come, don't worry.

bluefiredragon4131: well, here's the answer to one question, but it leads to others. Or maybe you already have the answers, who knows?

KeWlGaL9tH: Here's the next chapter and there is plenty more suspense to come.

Hakusho009: don't worry, I did, I did, I did. Sorry, couldn't resist. Don't take offense.

Kigomae: I'm going to keep updating as much as possible, but I may not be able to tomorrow, I have work. But I'll try!

Chapter 8

Draco helped Hermione to her feet as Alexander came back into the room having dealt with Tammi.

(I'm not going to go into the whole thing but it's sufficient to say there was a lot of yelling done on Alexander's part.)

Hermione watched as he knelt by his unconscious wife and attempted to awaken her. Draco in the mean time had not let go of Hermione since he helped her up and was getting quite a few glares from his fellow Slytherin's, whom he glared firmly back at.

Pansy, having finally come to her senses, walked calmly around the table and knelt by Magiere. She placed her hands on the woman's temples and chanted lightly in a tongue Hermione recognized as Senscar. Hermione's eyes lit up, remembrance dawning on her.

That's right; I forgot Pansy knows healing magic from her grandmother.

Pansy had studied different healing magic's since she was about six and had accompanied her grandmother, a renowned sorcerer healer, to Senscarica. However, her interest in healing was not well know, so her ability to perform any of these magic's was unknown by essentially all of those who had not known her from a very young age, minus Draco.

Magiere awoke slowly and looked at Alexander who sighed in obvious relief.

"Magiere," he exclaimed as she started to sit up "What happened?

She shook her head and looked up at her husband. "I'm sorry," she said quietly "It's just, I thought for a moment that she was our daughter."

"Our daughter?" Alexander glanced at Hermione who had closed her eyes again as she concentrated her energy on healing the bruise on her face and keeping her emotions in check.

"Yes, Harmony," muttered Magiere, "but it was just a dream I suppose."

Draco went ridged.

'So that's why she said not to call her Harmony,' he thought as he glanced at the girl who he was still holding. 'She doesn't want them to know she's alive...But why?'

Why, that seemed to be a common question when it came to dealing with Hermione recently. Why was she hiding from her parents; why didn't she use her real name when a Hogwarts and simply change her last; why was she so concerned for him suddenly. And he didn't have an answer for one of them.
