Here is chapter 3 just as I promised. I loved your reviews!!
Zee: Thank you for the review! I think that you are right, that he would have taken her with him and that he would ahve corrupted her...I was actually thinking about that. But since the chapter is already done, I think I might do that this chapter...somehow. Anyways thank you for thinking that Hermione's role is important! Keep R&R
Disclaimer: I sadly do not own Harry Potter or any of JKR's fictional characters...and if I did...whoa imagine?!
Well, I just hope you enjoy reading this chapter as much as I enjoyed writing it!
Devilish
Return to Hogwarts
Chapter 3
It had been a week since Hermione's parents died and since she got The Dark Mark. After all, she needed to get over it. What was done is done and she could not do anything about it. As for the fight with Ginny, well...Ginny told her some truths that had hurt Hermione and vice versa. Now Ginny ignored her, even though she knew it was going to be for a while, she was glad. She needed some time to think. Like, was she even going to go back to Hogwarts? Was she going to be caught by the Ministry? These questions flowed in and out of her mind at random times. And as for Harry she tried to forget about her feelings for her. And she did...for about five seconds.
Anyways, the Weasleys and Harry and Hermione went to Diagon Alley to buy the stuff they needed for school. They went to Flourish & Blotts first because Hermione told them the book were the most important things. When they entered they saw that the store was almost full, so they waited in line to get their books. When they got them they left quickly so they could have enough time to get their other things.
When they finished all of the buying, Ron spotted the Quidditch store.
"Oi Harry! Look at that!" he said walking in the store with everyone fallowing him
"C'mon Harry" said Ginny grabbing his hand
Hermione followed them closely. It made her furious that she decided to look at a Qudditch book. The book talked about how to play the game, and the positions of the players. Every now and then Hermione would sneak a peek over to Harry. And every now and then, Harry would be looking at Ginny, holding Ginny closely, or talking to Ginny. This made Hermione grab on to the book so hard that her knuckles were white just like the pages.
When she couldn't stand the talking, the hugging, or the closeness anymore, she set the book down rather loudly and stormed out of the store with everyone looking at her. She just couldn't keep looking at them together so she decided it was time to get out of there. When she stepped outside she got a little bit dizzy because of all the movement and all the people outside. She stood there for about a second or two before walking away.
She had no idea to where she was walking neither she wanted to know. She just wanted to land somewhere that wasn't involved with books. Irony didn't help her. Where she finished her course she found herself standing in the door of Flourish & Blotts.
She walked inside expecting all the people from before, along with the noisiness. But she was surprised to find only a single guy, who could not possibly be much older then her. He had to be around 16 or 17. Sh ignored him and went over to one of the top shelves looking for a book that could entertain her for a while. She found a book that seemed rather interesting '100 to Know if You Are Under A Love Potion'. She went down the stairs slowly. When she came down she took a seat across from the guy.
After a while she officially declared that she could not read a book in this store. The guy seating across from her was snoring his life out. This guy obviously didn't had a nice night's sleep, because when she loudly closed the book he didn't even twitch. It was as if he were under a spell. She ignored the snoring, and went up to the top shelve again. She put the book back, and headed down. When she came down, she found that the guy wasn't there anymore. She kept walking to the door. When she grabbed the door knob, she felt something pointy in her back. She tried to turn the door knob again and the wand was pushed harder into her spine. It felt like a muggle needle being put into your back. She winced at the pain as a male voice said.
(A/N: Yes they can do this. In fact they did it to me more then three times! THREE TIMES!! You know these people we call doctors? Yeah...news flash, they are CRAZY!)
"Open the door and go outside"
She slowly opened the door, and the wand in her back was pushed a little bit more into her back, leading her outside.
"Look, you're gonna do what I tell you to, and you are not going to look back, got it?" he said as she nodded immediately
"OK, go all the way to the Qudditch store and when you get to the end, turn to the right"
She did as she was told. She was scared, her lip was slightly shaking. She was walking with a teenage boy with a wand practically injected in her back! What was he going to do to her? Was he going to kill her? Was he going to rob her? When they walked past the Quidditch store, she quickly looked inside to see if Harry was still there. He wasn't, they were all probably getting ice creams.
The turn she made was so quick that she elbowed the guy in the stomach.
"Sorry" she said not meaning it
"S'okay" he coughed out.
She was absolutely sure she knew the guy. She just couldn't put her finger on him...literally. She walked into what looked like a muggle suburb, but she knew it wasn't because of all the fliers about magic that there was. She put her hands in her jean pockets, and felt a stick in there.
'Well duh! I didn't notice I had my wand in here!' she thought as she mentally kicked herself.
She grabbed it and was going to pull it out just when the guy called out,
"Stop" he said
She pulled the wand out and spined on her heels to find that the guy was,
"Malfoy?" she asked him as he pulled out his own wand.
He didn't answer instead he looked around, and looked at her. She looked into his piercing gray eyes. How could she have missed it? It was obvious that sooner or later she was going to get a visit from another Death Eater. She just wasn't expecting it to be today.
"Malfoy, why did you bring me here?" she asked nervously
"Well, The Lord told me to...isn't that obvious?" he asked matter-of-factly
"But...but-"
"Look let's get this over with. The Lord wants you to go back to Hogwarts" her eyes widened with joy, "But the point is for you to spy. See, if your friend Potty hadn't seen me attempt to kill Dumb-Old-Dork, then I would still have gone back to Hogwarts"
'Of course! This is why he wanted me in the first place! He just needed to find someone as stupid as me!' She thought while tears stinged inside her eyes.
"But why me, Malfoy?"
"Call me Draco," he said not looking at her, "And you, because...well...to tell you the truth I don't really know...but"
"How am I gonna know what he wants me to do?" she said as the tears that she tried to choke back flowed like pearls through her face
"Look, he is obviously not going to speak to you personaly, but I am" he said as she closed her eyes and more tears flowing, "You are going to feel The Dark Mark and you are going to go somewhere that no one can find you and we will meet"
"But how does it feel? When do you feel it? Why do you feel it? Where do I go? When-?"
"Look Granger," he said cutting her off as the questions flowed out of her mouth, "I have no idea when, where, how, why, or who. But you feel it, and you'll just know what to do. It's not something you study"
"But see? I don't want anyone to know! And, and...but-"
'Oh. My. God.! He is kissing me! He is actually kissing me!'
Hermione was taken aback but kissed him back. This wasn't her first kiss, but that's another story.
'Oh bloody hell! He kisses so bloody good!'
He kissed her as if his life depended on it. After a while, he started rubbing his tongue against her lips. She quickly accepted his request to go inside her mouth. Their tongues played for a while before Hermione broke off the kiss, gasping for air.
"Draco...I- I don't know if this is right" she said her voice shaking
"But why?"
"I don't- I-I-"
"Is it that you are dating someone, Is it that Potty faced Potter?" he said looking at her
"No- It's just that-that-t"
"Look," he said looking around and looking back at her, "Do you want to be my girlfriend?" he asked his gaze getting softer by the second.
'DUH!! SAY YES!!' her brain exclaimed
'Oh no! you can't forget about Harry!' her heart told her
'Yes! You have got to forget about him!'
'Look you just can't date this guy! He's...he's..he's'
'See? You don't have anything negative to say about him. He's hot, he likes us, he's a Death Eater (which could really help, by the way)!'
'But he's just not Harry!'
'So? We need to forget about him!...Look will you just let me handle this for once?"
'Fine...but when everything goes wrong do not say I didn't tell you so'
"Yes" she said smiling "Yes!"
He looked relieved. It looked like he had been holding his breath all this time. He hugged her so tight she lacked of air, and started coughing.
"Sorry" he said pulling away
"It's okay"
"I think y-you should g-go before t-they suspect a-anything" he said
"Yeah, and you should stop st-st-st-stuttering" she said walking away
When she was a couple of feet away he screamed,
"Hermione?"
"Yeah?"
"Bye" he smiled shyly
"Bye" she waved
--
"Hermione! There you are dear!" said Mrs. Weasley hugging her, "We've been looking hours for you!"
Hermione was cought off guard while she walked out of the suburb where she had met with Draco. She hadn't thought of them being looking for her, she actually thought she was going to have to look for them.
But to tell the truth she didn't mind it at all. Except the part that Harry wasn't there, she would have thought he would be with Ginny but Ginny was there looking for her. After reassuring Mrs. Weasley that she was fine and that nothing had happened to her, they left Diagon Alley to go the Burrow. Hermione walked in the back for a while, thinking of what just happened. She thought Draco hated her, but apparently he didn't. Her thoughts were interrupted by someone tapping on her shoulder. She turned around and found Ginny hugging herself.
"Yes, Ginny?" she said raising an eyebrow, confused at why the red-headed girl tapped her
"Hermione, I'm sorry" she said looking down at the floor
"Why?" Hermione responded dumbly
"Because of how I treated you last week. I mean it was really stupid of me to tell you that you...were...y'know...ugly...and caca-browned eyes"
"Look Gin," she said pulling her friendnext to her and intertwining arms, "I started it. I was the one who said that I didn't want to see you. I was having a terrible day" Hermione said as Ginny pulled her into a warm hug that Hermione was really needed of
"So that means...we're friends again?" she said raising an eyebrow and pulling away
"Yes Gin! We are so friends!"
--
AND THEY LIVED HAPPLY EVER AFTER!!
LOL! JK!

When they arrived the Burrow, Hermione was surprised to see Harry there. He was sitting down on the couch with a bored-looking Ron. She hadn't even noticed he wasn't with them anymore. When they entered the room, both Ron and Harry stood up.
"Mrs. Weasley...we didn't find Hermione anywhe-" Harry started but stopped on his tracks when he saw her.
He sprinted to her and hugged her tightly. Hermione hugged him back melting in his very touch.
'Oh Gosh! He was so worried for me! And he is so hot...am I melting?'
She pulled back, looking surprised as why he looked so worried. She smiled, and he laughed. But his smile quickly faded and turned into an angry frown.
"Where were you?" he said angrily
"Excuse me?"
"Where did you go? We were looking for you all over!" he exclaimed not yet screaming
"Well, apparently I was somewhere you couldn't find me" she said starting to get angry
"That's exactly what I say!" he screamed while throwing his arms up, "Where did you go?"
Everyone went quiet because that's what they all wanted to ask her, but no one found the words to ask her. She opened and closed her mouth like a fish out of the sea.
"Well?" he asked crossing his arms
"Well, it is certainly none of your business" she said looking straight foward and walking upstairs
"Yes it is! Because we were all wasting our time trying to look for you, because you were somewhere no one could find you!" he said following her
Hermione stopped right on the middle of the stairs. 'Wrong thing to say Harry!' her mind screamed. She turned on her heel and took a good look at the people behind him, then at him.
"Wasting your time? That's what I do?" she said, her voice getting higher by the second.
"Yes you do! You like to waste people's times!" he said
"Well guess what? I think it is none of you peoples' business what I was doing, who I was with, or where was I!" she screamed not turning away from his green gaze.
"Ah...I see! You were probably snogging some guy you don't even know in a Diagon Alley suburb, were you?" he said as some people behind him gasped
'Lucky guess' her mind said
"Excuse me?" she said going down the stairs near him
"You heard m-" he started but got a big slap from Hermione
Everything was quiet. No one said anything, it sounded like everyone was holding their breaths while Harry and Hermione stared at each other. She could feel the anger raising up all the way to her brain, and the tension knocking on the door.
"Harry are you OK?" said a nervous Ginny walking up to him
"Gin, stay away dear" her mum said dragging her back
"Listen to me Harry Potter, and listen to me well," Hermione said pointing a finger to him, "Don't ever, ever, tell me that I'm some kind of...of...of ho. Because I assure you that next time you say something like that, it is not going to end at a slap. I promise you, Harry Potter, I will hex the life out of you"
When Hermione finished she stormed upstairs.
After a while of processing the words that she had told him, Harry turned around and walked down the stairs. He could not believe the person he loved had told him that she will kill him. He looked at Ron who was standing in the same place he had left him. In fact, everyone was. everyone looked at him with pity. Everybody knew well that Hermione would never say that she would kill somebody unless she was extremely mad.
"Well mate," Ron started "I think you had it coming for you"
"Ronald Bilious Weasley! Don't you say that again! How can y-" Mrs. Weasley stepped in but Harry stopped her
"No Mrs. Weasley, I think he is right. I mean if I hadn't say such thing this wouldn't have happened" he said still not looking at anyone.
"Well," she said stopping for a second "I'm going to start to make dinner"
Everyone went to the living room to see the stuff that they got, but Harry's mind was on some his brown-eyed friend. He looked around for her bag which was indeed there. He wanted to see what she had gotten, after all it was some kind of tradition of the Trio to do. He got up from the couch were he was sitting, and went to the kitchen to see if Mrs. Weasley needed any help.
When he entered there was Mr. and Mrs. Weasley talking about some muggle device. They stopped when they saw him.
"Do you need any help Mrs. Weasley?" he asked scratching the back of his head
"No, Harry-" Mr. Weasley started but got cut off by his wife
"Yes. Would you go get Hermione? Dinner is almost ready"
Mr. Weasley looked at his wife as if she was mad. Of course Harry knew what she was trying to do, she was trying to get Harry to say sorry to her. Harry never had a fight with her like thia before. He had, indeed, called her a ho. He didn't want to, it just got the best of him. He was really worried for her, he looked for her everywhere...
Flashback
Hermione looked at Harry and stormed off the Qudditch store. After she closed the door rather loudly and walked away Ginn said,
"What's wrong with that ho?" Ginny asked raising an eyebrwo
"What did you say Ginny?" asked Ron
"You heard me! I mean I think she went to shag some guy, considering how she treated me last time I talked to her" she said
"Gin, you're lucky Mrs. Weasley is not here" said Harry
"Ginny? What does that have to do with everything?" asked Ron getting mad
After that they started talking, well more like screaming, about...well everything. Harry could not believe what Ginny had said. Ginny had told him about the fight she and Hermione had, but it wasn't that bad to call her...well...that. He walked past the sibilings fighting and went outside the store. He looked around looking for Hermione, just when he thought he saw her brown wavy hair, Ron came behind him.
"Did you see her?" he asked being slightly pushed by Ginny who went to look for her parents
"Yeah," Harry started walking over to where he saw her, "What happened to her anyways?"
"Who? Ginny?" Harry nodded
"Well, she said that she was really mad. But I told her her truths, and to tell Hermione that she was sorry...y'know girls right?"
"Yeah...hey, I think she went inside Flourish & Blotts" Harry said walking faster
When they entered the store, he saw no one but a young looking bloke, that was wearing all black. They both raised an eyebrow and looked at eachother.
"Do you see Hermione anywhere?" he asked Ron
"Nah, I don't think she is here...She probably is at the...I don't know...let's go" Ron said trying to think where to look for her
"Yeah...let's go" he said taking one last look at the store
But what he didn't notice was the girl in the top shelve looking at books.
