Well heres chapter four!!!

Chapter four: Meals,Deals,Prats

Hermione awoke to a knock on her door. She had just had the most interesting dream. It was

of her and her siblings. A distant memory of them at the park. They were all playing on the

jungle gym and it was her birthday. One of the very few happy ones. But it was cut short there.

The knock came again.Hermione sighed. She would really need to remember the rest. She thought

about her siblings as she got up to go to the door. They were living in a foster home now.

until her eldest brother turned 18 so he could care for their younger siblings. She opened

the door to find none other than Minerva McGonagal.

"Proffesor, what are you doing here at this ghastly hour?" Hermione asked looking out at

the dark sky.

"What do you mean ghastly? The hogwarts express has just arrived at Hogsmead station. I

was sent to wake you and tell you to be ready for the sorting and the feast in the great hall.

I assume that you are well rested? You've slept the past day and half away. be ready in 15

minutes. Go to the staff table and wait for further instructions. You and the head boy shall be

anounced at the beginning of the feast. Afterward you will be able to join your friends at your

rspected house table. Now get a move on." McGonagal said, leaving no room for argument on

Hermiones part. Hermione was baffled. Mcgonagal was acting very peculiar. Instead of the

motherly way she used to act towards her, She acted....angry,...Nervous, and pehaps...

Frightened?

Hermione was shocked. She shrugged it off though and proceded to get ready for the nights

festivities.

Within ten minutes She was ready, dressed in a Dark purple almost black, tight longsleeved

shirt, with a low v-neck, and a pair of black capris. The look was complete with a pair of

black Vans with black laces that had dark purple Anarchy signs on them. The color matched that

of her shirt and highlights. Her make up was done with a light lavender eye shadow and dark

purple eyeliner, that again matched eveything else. Her mascara was black with purple tips.Her

face needed no concealer or powder, it was pale and flawless. Her hair was sleek and straight

and fell to the middle of her back. All covered in her Hogwarts robe. She looked at her

reflection in the mirror. She sighed. It was transparent, like always. The only time it was

complete was when she had just fed. And she had only done that three times since she was

changed, prefering to go hungry than take a human life. either that or feed off the blood of

cows or other farm animals. She preferred bigger ones to small cute ones. They were harder to

kill. Yet thier blood was less satisfying. Before her 15 minutes were up she was down in the

currently empty Great Hall, Well except a few teachers. From what she saw, there was Hagrid,

Proffesor Sprout,Dumbledore,Snape,McGonagal,and flitwick. And there was another one ther she

couldn't place. It was probably the new defense against the Dark arts Teacher. But the other

proffesor's weren't present yet. As if Reading her mind Dumbledore spoke.

"We wish to have a word with you Hermione.If you don't mind of course. The other

proffesors have been asked to wait in the back." Dumbledore said in a soothing voice.

"Of course not proffesor, What can I do for you?" Hermione asked in a nervous voice. She

walked up to the staff table, all eyes on her. She looked Down at her feet as she got closer.

If she had been Mortal she would have had a deep blush covering her entire body. After what

seemed like an hour she reached the table and wasimmediatley met with some angry stares and a

few sad expressions. Even one lustful one. Hermione cringed as she looked up into the faces

of the proffessors. McGonagal's was an expression of deepest concern, and Hermione saw a flash

of fear she had never before seen cross her graceful, aged features. But that was quickly

replaced with a stony look. Flitwick looked deeply troubled as did Hagrid. Snape looked

disgusted. The new teacher, with his wide searching eyes looked like he owuld love to pounce

on her in an instant, and take her for his. But as soon as she looked at him he looked away.

Sprout looked a bit nervous and worried about something. Even a bit frightened. But Dumbledore

looked Weary and caringly at Hermione. Domething was wrong, but what? But then dumbledore

spoke.

"Hermione, I have informed the teachers you will be working with this year, of your...

Condition." Dumbledore said choosing his words carefully. Hermione nodded in understanding. A

feeling of dread seemed to settle over her shoulders. Dumbldore contimued. "We have come to

an agreement, that in order to remain at this school, you may only attain meals in an

unleathal fahion, on the grounds. We can't stop your natural behavior, elsewhere. But it is

probably in your besty intrests that you don't try to feed on the students. Hagrid has given

you permission to feed on one of the magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest. Threstals.

They can't die by your hand. Hagrid will show you how to call them. They are your Natural

Allies. They will help you. You will also find that they are great to talk to. In your case at

least. As us mere mortals cannot hear them. But Vampyres have the gift to listen to more than

what is apparent. Do you understand?" Dumbledore asked Hermione staring straight into her eyes.

Hermone nodded. the uneasy feeling somewhat gone, but not completely.

"Yes, I can feed on Threstals, and on humans outside the castle. But within the grounds,

preferably not at all or during non lethal feedings." Hermione said, looking a little

disheveled at her proffesors resentment. Dumbledore nodded.

"And if you fail to follow these rules then you will be expelled from Hogwarts

indefinetly and you may never see the wizading world again. Now, you have access to Hogsmead

at all times, as you may never know when you need to feed. And the Forbidden Forest is only

available to you. But make sure you are not seen by any students. That includes your two

friends. Mr. Potter, and Mr. Weasley. Now, please step behind us to the room in the back. We

will call you out when we inform the students of your position. You will find the Head boy in

there already. Now hurry. the students approach. Hermione did as she was told and sure enough

she could here the voices of many students entering the great hall.

It was exceptionally dark in the small room. There was only the light of the candle in

the middle of the room. Sitting in a tall chair with thier back towards er sat the Head boy.

"Hello, Granger." Came the all too familiar Drawl.

"The name's Sarvaunt. Not Granger. Malfoy." Hermone mimcked his drawl. Malfoy snorted.

"right, and my name is rumplestiltzkin." He said sarcstically.

"Okay, Mister Stiltzkin. Nice to meet You." Hermione snorted again in a mimic.

"Stupid git. If you couldn't tell I was being sarcastic." He said through clenched teeth. Hermione chose to ignore his comment.

"How the hell did you get to become Head bot? I thought for sure that Harry would get

the spot." Hermione said rolling her eyes. Obviously annoyed.

"Well, thanks to some anounomous people, saying that everyone else didn't have a fair

chance because he was famous, Potter was eliminated form the running." Malfoy said, amusment

clearly evident in his voice. Hermione wasn't at all foolede by anonimity of the persons. It

was probably Draco's mother, or even a few slitherin Parents. If you could call them that.

More like Pet owners. Since none of their Children were more like animals than children at all.

"Right, well anyways..." But her words were intterupted by Dubledore.

'Will you too follow me? I have to introduce you now." He said. Malfoy got up from his

seat and turned for the first time since she had come in. He couldn't see her all that well but

he could definetly sense the change in her. But Hermione was able to see perfectly well,

considering she was now equiped with such great vision, especially in the dark. Malfoy had

grown up alot during the summer. His hair was no longer slicked back with tons of gel, or

grease, or whatever he used. It was now quite a bit longer and in a pony tail tie back at the

nape of his neck. His eyes had brightened. He was no longer tall and skinny, but tall and more

muscular. Wearing a pair of Black slacks and a Black muscle shirt. He still had his infamous

smirk and was actually no longer so snobbish looking. his nose wasn't pointed anymore. but it

fit his face perfectly. He was handsom, But Hermione would never say that at loud.

They both followed dumbldore outside into the bright light. It attacked Hermiones eye's

right away. Without thinking she hissed. Draco gave her a questioning look, but wisley chose

not to comment. They stood behind the staff table so they couldn't be seen. Dumbledore took his

place and began top speak.

"Welcome to another year at Hogwarts. As you know the Forbidden Forest is off limits to

all students. Hogsmead trips are scheduled for students third year and above, You'll find a

list of things that have been banned in filch's office. Now, I have two important people to

introduce. The Head Boy and Girl. This Years Head Boy will be...Draco Malfoy." Applause erupted

from the slytherin table but the other three were quiet. Draco smirked and went to go sit by

Blaise Zabini and Pansy Parkinson. The rumor was that Crabbe and Goyle were both trasfered to

Durstrang, after thier sixth year. To learn more about, 'their culture'. Hermione snorted.

Probably to learn the dark arts first hand. Dumbledore spoke again.

"Now, Our Head Girl this year is none other than....Hermione Sarvuant." Dumbledore said.

Hermione stepped out into a confused looking crowd. all eyes on her. Their reaction was

exactly what she had expected. All of the students looked as if they had seen a ghost. She

Smirked in a Malfoy worthy fashion and walked over to ron and Harry. She sat directly in front

of them. As soon as she sat down the Great Hall was filled with Murmurs and whispers.

Dumbledore spoke again.

"Now please enjoy your feast." At that the food on all the platters appeared and

everything was forgotten as everyone tucked in. Hermione was instantly bomabrded with

questions at the gryffindor table.

"Why did you change your last name?"

"Are those contacts?"

"Where can i get that hair dye?"

"Where were you this summer?"

"Why did you change?"

Hermione had just about enough.

"No my eye's don't have contacts, My hair is naturally this way, I didn't change my last

name, It is naturally Sarvaunt. I was adopted. I am no longer a mudblood, I stayed here this

summer, I didn't change, this is how i've always been but i was unable to come through because

my Adopted parents wouldn't let me, saying i was a freak." Now if you don't mind I would like

to talk to my frieds in peace. No more questions." She said and everyone fell silent.

"Why didn't you return our letters Hermione?" Harry asked.

"I guess i never got them.' Hermione shrugged.

"There's something different about you, what is is??" ron asked stupidly. Hermione rolled

her eyes.

How were your summers?" She asked changing the subject. Instantly they forgot about

their worries and went into a detailed tale of thier Summer at the Burrow. Harry had been

adopted by the Weasley's. The summer after thier fifth year. After a while HArry noticed

Hermione wasn't eating, only drinking what seemed to be Black coffee.

"why aren't you eating, Mia?" Harry asked.

"I Ate earlier." She lied and took a gulp of the scalding liquid, not at all bothered by

the heat. Ahrry shrugged and continued to eat. Soon, well not soon enough in Hermione's opinion,

Dumbldore stood up and the plates were cleared. hermione let out an unaccostomed sigh. She

wasn't used to breathing anymore. It burned her lungs but she ignored it.

"well, I have a few announcments before ou can go to your dorms and get a goodnight

sleep. You are lucky tomarrow is a Saurday. that means you get two days to get adjusted to

being home. Well now let me introduce you too our new defense against the dark arts teacher.

Mr. Thuriel. He will only be with us this year, until a new applicant can be hired." polite

applause came from most students, as a tall skinny man with black greasy hair to rival Snape's

stood up. Instantly Hermione mistrusted him. She could sense a dark aura around him. She

stiffened as he layed eye's on her. she looked away, lest she attack him. And that would be

bad. At least for him. She smirked at the thought.

after Dumbledore finished his announcements, Hermione instantly stood up. saying a quick

goodbye to her friends, she left the great hall. she started to walk towards her common room

when she was stopped. She whirled around ready to attack the person who stopped her. It was

Dumbledore.

"Sorry Proffesor,You startled me." Hermione said Apologetically.

"Quiet all right Miss Sarvaunt. I just wanted to ask if you could show Mr. Malfoy to

your common room. It would be much quicker that way." He said. She looked At Malfoy who stood

behind him looking quiet bored. Hermione nodded. "Good, you get some sleep now."

"Umm, Proffesor? Can I talk to you?" Hermione asked. He Nodded. "Privatley?" she asked

glancing at draco. He rolled his eyes and glared.

"Don't let me stop you." He siad and walked over to pansy who was waiting for him.

"What is it Ms.Sarvaunt?" Dumbledore asked cheerfully. Hermione sighed. She might as

well get it over with soon.

"Well, I was wondering, what would happen to me if I was to go into Hogsmead tonight?

I'm Awfully Hungry." She said looking at the floor.

"As I told you before, Just don't kill anybody within the schiool." He said and winked.

Hermione breathed a sigh of relief but instantly regretted it when her chest exploded in pain

again.

"Good night proffessor." She said and walked away. Draco saw her leave and he ran after

her. He was going to try to scare her. He crept up behind her ready to yell, but Hermione

sensed him.

"Nice Try Malfoy." She said. Malfoy was put out to say the least.

"What are you cat woman?" He asked sulking.

"You could say that." She said smirking. She let out a hhollow laugh and Draco cringed.

"They were right. you are bloody evil. Killing your parents and all." He smirked,

thinking that would get a rise out of her. But it failed just like his last attempt.

"Is that what they're saying now? Interesting. But no. MY parents were murdered, but i

have a clean allibi." Hermione shrugged. Draco was again disappointed. but became silent.

He followed her up to the tallest tower till the cam to the portrait that led to there

common room.

"Mal Familia" Hermione said. The portrait swung open and she climbed through. Malfoy

followed.

"goodnight Malfoy, I'm turning in." She said and left him to explore the common room and

his room. She went inside her room and locked the door. She quickly changed into a pair of

Black glow in the dark Bondage pants and a dark purple tube top. complete with thick black

eye liner surrouunding her eyes and steel toe boots that went up a little past her anke. They

had metal skulls on the side and a metal band screwed into the ront despit the steel toe. She

quickly threw on her trench coat that hugged her body and flowed just above her feet. She

smiled and walked out onto the balcony. She looked at Malfoys Which was right next to hers.

She stepped out onto the ledge. And Malfoy walked out.

"What the hell are you doing??!!" He yelled. jumping onto her balcony. But she had

already jumped.

"Hermione!!!" He screamed. He grabbed on to her hand and was almost pulled off himself.

But he had saved her.

"What the hell are you doing Malfoy!" Hermione hissed. Too hungry to care if he saw or

found out about her.

"Same question to you! Why the hell are you trying to kill your self?" He said pulling

her up. She didn't aswer. As soon as she stood on hre own she pushed him down causing him to

cut his arm on the rough brick. Hermione's nose flared. She had to leave now. She forced

herself with all her streghth to walk towards the ledge. but before she jumped she turned to

draco.

"Tell no one of this." And she dove off the buildng. Draco got up and watched her fall

but seh soon regained her composer and she landed on her feet. Not hurting herself. Malfoy was

baffled. Hermione was changing. she needed to get control over herself. So she raan as fast

as she could away from the scent of his blood to feed.

Soon she arrived in Hogsmead, norml again se walked into the hogs head pub. She sat down

at the bar. a guy came over to her and sat down next to her.

"Hi, can I buy you a drink?" He said. Hermione smirked. He would suffice for tonight.

"Of course. But first do you think you could help me with something outside?" She asked

He nodded vigorously, obviously thinking of something else. They walked out into the cool air.

a song came to mind at the strange coolness of the september air.

"close the windows cause this cool night air is curious. Black the cloak will looketh.

Who cares, Who see's anything."

Hermone smirked. She led the guy to an alley and pushed him up against the bricks. With

her mind she invaded his.

'calm down, i am going to kill you, but don't oanic' She siad to him. A goofy smile came

over him and he beca,me limp in her arms, as she fed.

After about 5 minutes, she hid the body cutting the head off with her claws and dropping

it in a dumpster and the body in a different one. And she went back to Her room to get a

goodnights sleep. or at least sit in the dark for a while.
