The only test Hermione Granger ever failed.
Chapter 10
"So what you're telling me is that now Mr Weasley knows about you and Ms Greengrass' relationship and now there is as much tension between you as there is between Harry and Draco. Subsequently, you fear that he will expose you secret, therefore compromising the entire mission and the reason both you and the Headmaster agreed to 'kill' Hermione Granger." Asked Snape as I sat opposite him.
I nodded slowly. This was all my fault, I had told Ron one of the biggest secrets on which me becoming a Death Eater hinges... "Alright I shall have the Headmaster talk to Mr Weasley. Worst case scenario we will have to obliviate him, and he will think you are dead like the rest of the student population." He paused momentarily to collect his thoughts before continuing. "I want you to remain cautious around him, just in case he blows up at you and ruins your cover, should anything happen before I can get to him try to blow it off as random accusations. Other than that there is little I can do to help you for the time being. You will have your first extra potions lesson tomorrow night, now if you don't mind I have some papers to correct."
I nodded and headed back to the Slytherin dorms and lay down on my bed waiting for my lesson with Sirius and Moody. Daphne and the other would probably be at dinner right now, but I wasn't hungry the feeling that Ron could expose me at any time, so I headed for the seventh floor.

"KEEP UP LIKE THIS ANY YOU'LL NEVER BE READY LASSY!" roared Moody as my Dark cutting curse missed by a good foot to the right. "YOUR GOOD OLD DAD IS NOT GOING TO BE THIS FORGIVING WHEN YOU MEET HIM!" he retorted while throwing his own exploding hex.
The hex shattered the cover I was crouching behind. We had been at this for hours, it was exhausting and I was pushing my prefect curfew. I knew I had to finish him off quickly, but he had been fending me off all night. I threw two bone shattering curses, one at his head, the other at his wand arm, before summoning his fake leg, which had him falling to floor. The first curse missed his head and the one meant for his shoulder, while I dodged his heavy metal leg as it soared over me and crashing into the stone wall behind me, before falling to the ground with a deafening thud.
Moody let out a sound that was somewhere between a moan and a snarl as he hit the ground. Sirius got up from the large couch that appeared in the room, and began to mend Alistair's shoulder. "You did well lass…" He complemented me through gritted teeth. "…Although you should have that ruthlessness and tenacity from the very beginning. CONSTANT VIGILANCE!"
"I think it's time we call it a night Sophia" said Sirius as he attempted to pick Moody to heal his shoulder enough to get him to Madame Pomfrey. "And don't forget that you'll have to leave earlier for your visit to 'Casa Black North'. Tonks will pick you up that morning and bring you up before you come back to headquarters."
"Okay, thanks Sirius." I said as I crossed over the threshold into the seventh floor corridor and ran down towards the Slytherin Common room in the dungeons.

When I got into the common room about twenty five minutes after curfew (without getting caught, thank you very much), it was deserted. The only person left was sitting next to the fireplace asleep in one of the nicer armchairs.
Daphne looked absolutely lifeless lying in the chair, the yellow and orange flames illuminating her pale face. I walked over and kissed her forehead, before I pulled out my wand and levitated her up to the dorm and laid her down on her bed, as she mumbled something that sounded like 'Hermuanee'
I smirked and undressed before I lay down in my own bed and fell into an exhausted sleep…
A/N: Yes I know it was a terrible and REALLLY REALLY SHORT CHAPTER. But I need some kind of filler between what just happened and what has to happen next. As always please review and tell me what you thought.
There should be some actual Sophia/Bella interaction in the next chapter :)
