Chapter 19: The Two Visions
Hermione was sitting on the very comfortable green couch with a basket full of sweets from Honeydukes. Ginny and Luna had dropped it off for her and now she sat in bliss as she took a bite out of a Chocolate Frog. 'Mmm.' She thought as she felt the milky chocolate melt in her mouth.
The portrait hole opened and in stepped, not her blonde haired silver eyed husband, but her black curly haired vampire friend. Hermione smiled at him as he walked over and sat in the red chair.
"Hungry?" He asked with a small laugh.
Hermione gave him a small glare, "It's not my fault Riddick is so hungry." She said rubbing her stomach.
Van laughed and then swiped the basket away from her.
"Hey..." Hermione wined, "Those are mine." She pouted and Van laughed even more.
"I just want to see what you got here." He said looking through the basket filled of sweets. Seeing that it was filled with Bertie Botts' Every Flavored Beans, Jelly Slugs, Acid Pops, Sugar Quills, Droobles Best Blowing Gum, Chocolate Frogs, and the usual traditional toffees and nougats, coconut ices and fudge. And Dumbledore would be proud, seeing that there were even a few boxes of Lemon Drops. Surprisingly he picked up a lollipop and stared at it, "What's this doing in here?" He asked.
Hermione laughed, "Maybe Ginny and Luna knew you were coming and thought they'd get you a nice treat as well." She told him.
Van smiled and ripped the wrapper off and plopped the blood flavored lollipop in his mouth.
"Good?" Asked Hermione and Van nodded as she started chewing one of the Bertie Botts' Beans. Her face scrunched up with disgust. She spit the bean in her hand and looked at it her face still all scrunched up. "Ugh, that was disgusting!" She exclaimed. Van just smiled at her, trying to keep his laughter in. Hermione threw the bean down and then grabbed a piece of toffee. "What's, Draco up to?"She asked.
"Patrolling the outer limits of Hogwarts." He told her.
"Ah." She said nodding her head, "He's never going to graduate from Hogwarts if Dumbledore keeps giving him all these stake outs." Hermione said grabbing another piece of toffee.
"Albus, has his reasons, Hermione." Van told her looking serene.
"I know, it's just after what happened with Parkinson..." Hermione could have sworn she heard Van growl, "...He's just got a lot more work. Guarding and school, alike. If he's not doing one he's doing the other. I never get time with him anymore." She pouted.
"What that Parkinson girl did, gives Dumbledore all the right to send Draco patrolling. Her being a Slytherin, could very well mean that she's working with Voldemort." Van told her, his Romanian accent rising a little.
Hermione just stared at him for a moment, "I'm a Slytherin, Draco and Blaize are Slytherins. Do you see us clutching our arms and running off to follow orders for that vile man?" She asked. "Sure, Pansy is jealous, but I wouldn't say she's a Death Eater." Hermione told him.
"Draco was one." Van informed.
Hermione nodded, "Yes, 'was' being past tense. Professor Snape was one as well." She affirmed.
Van gave a small laugh, "I suppose you have a point."
"I haven't even made my point, yet." Hermione stated, "Parkinson is too in control with herself, to let anyone else tell her what to do. Her parents aren't Death Eaters, so there's really little chance she's one."Hermione said. The thought about Pansy was starting to give her headache.
Van gave a nod, "Maybe I should go." He said standing up, "I'll see you later, Hermione." And he started to walk towards the portrait.
"Hope you like the lollipop!" Hermione called after him and she could here him laughing even as the portrait shut behind him.

It was past midnight when Draco finally came in from his so-called work. He saw his beautiful wife laying on the couch; asleep. He smiled and went over to her, picking her up into his arms. She started to stir a little and her eyes slightly opened.
"Draco?" She asked softly.
"Yes, luv. It's me." He told her in a whisper.
"What time is it?" She asked snuggling up to his chest and he walked up the stairs.
"Past midnight, darling." He said as he walked into their bedroom.
"Why are you home so late?" She asked her eyes now closed.
Draco laughed slightly as he laid her down on the bed and covered her up, "Interrogate me tomorrow, luv. Sleep for now." He told her and gave her a kiss on the forehead. Rounding the bed he went to his side and stripped down to his boxers. Getting into the bed he put an arm around Hermione and fell into a deep sleep.

Kaytrina held her head. She was on the ground in hers and Van's rooms. The pain was excruciating. She felt as if her head was going to split in two. Her eyes were tightly shut and she was on the verge of pulling her hair out. Her fingers tightened around her hair, making fists and she started to scream.
Van was walking up the steps to his and Kaytrina's portrait hole, when he heard screaming and it was Kaytrina. Van started running towards the portrait and it just swung open and there he saw her. On the ground screaming out. He ran to her side. "Kaytrina!" He tried yelling over her screams. When she didn't respond and her screams became louder he picked her up and laid her on the couch and did the only thing that he knew would stop some of the pain: He brought his lips to hers and soon her pain became his.
Van saw it all. What was supposed to be the future. He saw it. And it was dark and gloomy. A man that's eyes looked serpent like sat in a throne and a blonde young man sat at his side. There was a flash and the scenery soon changed. Everything was peaceful and serene. The same blonde young man stood on the front steps of Hogwarts beside Dumbledore. Then it was over.
Van opened his eyes and backed away from Kaytrina. She was now hyperventilating and he brought her into his arms. This was how it was. If he was there while she had one of her...visions, he would take some of her pain away by making the connection so they could share the vision.
Van gently moved away the hair that was in her face. He couldn't believe what they had saw. The Prophecy had just taken a leap. It wasn't just that Hermione's and Draco's son would destroy all the evil wizards and save the wizarding world, but he would choose. He would choose if he either wanted to rule along with the wizards like Voldemort or live in a carefree world along side wizards like Dumbledore.
Kaytrina's breathing had calmed and she was snuggling close to Van. She couldn't let Voldemort have Riddick. She had to speak to Dumbledore and now.
Kaytrina stood up and grabbed Van's hand, dragging him out of the portrait hole and up the many flights of stairs. Soon, they were in front of the gargoyle.
"Nerds." Kaytrina said and the gargoyle jumped aside. Van gave her a confused look and she only said, "Don't ask."
Stepping into the landing they strode towards his office doors and burst through. Dumbledore looked up from his writing and stared at his welcomed intruders. Kaytrina and Van walked up to the desk and Dumbledore could see the fear in the both of their eyes.
"What is wrong?" He asked and set his quill down.
Both, Kaytrina and Van told of what they saw and they repeated it over four or five times, once Dumbledore called in the rest of the Staff and then the Order, which did not include Mr. Malfoy.
Kaytrina and Van now sat in the purple satin chairs in front of Dumbledore's desk. Kaytrina's eyes were closed and Van was pinching the brim of his nose.
Everyone in the room was silent. Each and everyone thinking of what to do. 'What could they do? What was the right approach to take?' and many other questions roamed throughout all of their minds.
"Please... everyone...stop thinking so much..." Kaytrina begged. Van reached out and took one of her hands and Severus came up and put a hand on her shoulder.
"I think that we should just wait it out." Dumbledore stated and everyone looked at him as if he were mad, except Kaytrina, Lupin, Severus, and Van.
"But, Albus..." Alastor started.
"We should wait this out... and only when the time comes, will we make our decision." He told them all.
"But, what about the child? If he does choose the... good side, shouldn't he be trained?" Asked Bill Weasley.
"Yes, the child will be trained. In all the assets he will need. But, that is all. If this were different, for intense, if there were only one vision, then maybe we could take all of the precautions, but... there were two. One: The boy will take Voldemort's side. Two: He will join us and defeat all evil." Dumbledore took a deep breath. "Lets us pray... that he will make the right choice. For that is all we can do." With that everyone just nodded.
"Also, remember." Dumbledore announced, "That we have years until this 'choice'. For both, Kaytrina and Van said that he is about seventeen in both visions." Dumbledore gave a small hopeful smile and then stood from his desk and left.
