Chapter 7: Dumb Decisions
As the weeks passed, Hermione and Draco were starting to worry. They haven't found a way to fix the cabinet and Christmas break was when they needed Dumbledore dead.
One Saturday, Hermione was walking from Hogsmeade with some people from Gryffindor who were supporting her with the whole Harry lies thing. She was all to willing to go into the act.
As they were crossing the bridge, they heard a scream.
"What was that?" Hermione asked not faking concern.
"I don't know. May- Look!" Her friend said and pointed to a figure on the ground. Hermione saw a body and she gasped. It was Katie. Both girls ran to their friend.
"Katie! What happened!?" They kept yelling but she didn't respond.
Hermione saw out of the corner of her eye a glimmer in the snow. She looked and saw a necklace. Soon she recognized it. It was the cursed necklace from Borgin and Burkes.
Hermione turned to her friend, "Bring her to the hospital wing. I'll tell McGonagall."
As the Gryffindor girl levitated Katie, Hermione went to the necklace. She examined it more and transfigured a nearby rock into a towel to hold the necklace.
In the room of requirements, Draco sat on the couch and waited for Hermione. She said she needed to talk to him. So here he sat. Waiting for his love to come.
Soon though, Hermione entered and she had a scowl on her face. When Draco saw her face, he looked confused but before he could ask what was wrong, Hermione burst.
"A CURSED NECKLACE DRACO! YOU LAZY ARSE! YOU ALMOST KILLED A GIRL TODAY! YOU COULD HAVE BEEN CAUGHT! THERE IS NO EASY WAY TO KILL SOMEONE SO STOP TRYING."
When Hermione finished her rant, she sat down rubbing her head. Draco just looked at her and ashamed.
"I know. It was stupid. I'm sorry Hermione", he apologized and scooted closer to cuddle her, "I won't do it again."
A couple weeks later, Draco was once again called to the Room but he knew what it was for. This wasn't to fix the cabinet. It was about his new attempt to kill Dumbledore.
When Draco heard the door open, he prepared himself for a yelling witch.
"DRACO! YOU PROMISED! POISON MEAD IS NOT GOING TO HELP! RON IS IN THE HOSPITAL WING BECAUSE HE WAS POISONED! I SAID STOP TRYING TO BE A COWARD AND FIX THIS DAMN CABINET WITH ME!" Hermione yelled and blasted a piece of junk near her into pieces.
Draco sighed after the lecture, "I know. I'm sorry Hermione. I just got nervous and thought to try something new. I promise I won't do anything but fix the cabinet."
Hermione glared, "You better or I will let father deal with you!"
Draco's face paled at the thought of taking on the Dark Lords wrath and shivered. He definitely won't try anything again.
