"What are you doing?" I hissed in a low voice.
"shh. They're going to hear us."
"so? I don't freakin' care Granger. Tell me what are you planning?" I hissed again.
"Muffliato. Seriously Draco, do you want to get caught?"
"Granger, stop it this instant. Whatever you are thinking, stop it. Stop it right now."
"You know I can't very well do that." She hissed.
"And why not? Pray tell why?" I'm starting to sound defeated. I perfectly know that she won't change her mind. That whatever I say, she won't change her mind.
"Because, Harry is my best friend. I need to help him." This time, she cancelled the spell, and just as I was about to say something at Umbridge to stop budgering them. I immediately froze to what Hermione just said, never in a million years I imagined that she will say what she just said.
"And what is it Miss Granger?"
"Dumbledore's secret weapon, I know where it is."
I never imagined my life will be as confusing as this. I, for one, didn't know what Hermione is talking about. Second, never have I thought that she will just spill a secret that easily. Third, the danger of whatever she is playing at is high enough to kill everyone in her group.
Danger. What is the danger that caused this reaction. What is the reason why she opted to choose this path? I need to know the answers, I need the answers. I need to know.
III.
Before, to know the answers pertaining to Hermione and her friends' idiotic decisions, I was able to ask Snape, Dobby and Kreacher to confirm the idea that I have, but now, with me trapped in this manor, with the floos supervised, owls intercepted, I can't do anything that doesn't put me and my mother's life on the line.
It was the same situation I was in, when she chose to "reveal the secret", helpless. I was utterly and completely helpless. I asked Snape to confirm what was happening in the Order, I asked him if their occupant in the house of black is still there, I asked Kreacher what he told Harry to warrant this reaction. I asked Dobby to find them the instant I knew the truth.
Kreacher just confirmed that he was asked by my aunt to lie to Harry about his godfather's actual location, he deliberately just put his original master's godson in danger. In short, he just put his future master's life on the line.
Snape, on the other hand was helpful, he immediately informed the order what happened. He immediately decided to look for the location of Hermione and her friends. Where they decided to go after the situation with Umbridge. How was he able to find them? I have no idea.
Dobby, informed me where they brought Umbridge. Who would've thought that Hermione actually know a giant, well, half-giant. That she decided to bring Umbridge in the forbidden forest and let her be captured by centaurs. That is, simply idiotic and brave of her, but it just gave me another reason why I know she can defend herself. Why, despite of all the dangers around us, I know that somehow she will survive.
But that same day, our lives, our paths, our future was directed to go the opposite ways. It's like, we were meant to meet, but not meant to be together.
And that broke my heart. The instant I knew that she will soon face my father, I know we have to go the the separate ways.
Breaking from my reverie, I just thought of how to contact and talk to Snape. An idiotic but simple plan.
I just hope he agrees to help me, granted that he is not with them of course. I hope, he agrees to be summoned by his former master.
"Dobby." I tried the first time, with no response, I tried it again.
"Dobby." this time, I repeated it with pleading voice, while I pray to all the gods and godesses, and to merlin, to grant this wish.
"Dobby, please. Please help me." this time, it just came as audible whisper. I was about to give up when...
