Broken Wings
Chapter 5: Different
By: Midnight Walker
Hermione sat alone at the end of Gryffindor table. Harry and Ron sat a little farther up, and kept throwing glances at her out the corner of their eyes. Hermione wore the standard Hogwarts uniform, her black hair hung loose once again, and she had black eyeliner and eye shadow outlining her beautiful honey brown eyes.
Ginny and her fifth year friends walked past her and scowled at her. Hermione scowled right back at them. 'It's funny how people can be your friend one minute and hate you the next.' She mused.
She sighed, and then an elegant black and grey eagle owl swooped toward her carrying a letter. It then landed on her shoulder and stuck its leg out, and kept its head high. 'Hmmm even the bird is full of it's self…' It read:
Hermione meet me in the astronomy tower at midnight.
DM.
P.S. Please don't be offended if I insult you the corridors. Even though were together we still have to keep up appearances.
Just as she closed up the letter, professor McGonagall swept over her head delivering schedules. She looked down at her schedule:
9:00 a.m. - Double Potions w/ Slytherins
11:00 a.m. – Double Charms w/ Hufflepuffs
1:00 p.m. – LUNCH
2:30 p.m. – Transfiguration w/ Ravenclaws
4:00 p.m. – Arithmancy
5:30 p.m. – Muggle Studies
6:30 p.m. – Ancient Runes/ Hufflepuffs
7:00 p.m. – DINNER
Just then Hermione saw people getting up to leave, so she followed them out and made her way to the cold, damp, dungeons.
&&&&&&&&&&&
Hermione took a seat in the back of the class, in the shadows. No-one sat next to her and she was grateful. Snape swooped in the class, black robes all over the place. 'I never noticed how much he resembles a giant bat when he does that...' He took a look around the class and did a double take on Hermione. He then looked at Harry and Ron, and put two and two together.
"Hmmm….class it seemed the Golden trio has broken up. What a tragedy." He said smirking. The Slytherins snickered. He then turned around and began writing on the board. She got her cauldron ready; they would be making an iris changing potion.
20 minutes later, the potion was ready for its' last ingredient. It was smashed petals of the color you wanted your iris to become. Hermione chose a silver rose. She smashed its' petals and added it to the potion. It bubbled and simmered and then laid still. She used a ladle to pour it into a vial. She raised it, and downed it all. She shivered. It was ice cold! She felt a weird feeling take over her eyes and she went over to the mirror a bent over. Her honey brown eye were sucked into her pupil and silver spread from the pupil to the ends of her irises. She gasped. They were beautiful. They were they perfect addition to her black hair and gothic attire.
"Breathtaking." Said a deep, sexy, voice. She looked in the mirror and saw a pair of dark green eyes.
"Not bad too bad yourself." She said smirking sexily. Just then pansy called him back to their table to look at her violet eyes. As he left, his fingers ever so slightly brushed against her neck, sending shivers up and down her spine. Midnight could not come fast enough!
&&&&&&&&&&
Severus watched his students with interest. The Golden Trio had broken up, and it seemed granger hand been voted off. She had definitely changed since he last saw her during the summer. There also seemed to be something going on between her and malfoy. 'Hmmm this will definitely be mentioned to Albus….." He thought.
&&&&&&&&&&
Hermione once again sat alone by herself at Gryffindor table deep in thought. She thought about Draco, school, herself. How was she supposed to get out and feed? 'Well I guess I could sneak into the forbidden Forest late at night. Dumbledore wouldn't mind…" She thought. She felt a pair of eyes on her and looked up. A Pair of silver eyes was staring at her that belonged to Draco malfoy. He winked at her and turned away as Dumbledore stood up.
"Your attention please." He waited until there was complete silence throughout the hall. "We shall be receiving two new students this year." He motioned to the door and two blonde haired students walked in the hall. One was a boy who looked around Hermione's age, and the other one was a girl about head shorter than Hermione. She held her head high and walked with a confidence that radiated off her in waves. They reached the head table and stopped. Dumbledore smiled down at them and spoke again. "Everyone I would like to introduce Adrick Adler and Autumn Ramirez." The hall was deathly quiet then broke out in whispers. "Quiet down, Minerva if you please?"
Professor McGonagall motioned for Autumn to sit down and she placed the hat upon her head. Autumn and the hat conversed for a while before it shouted, "Slytherin!" Autumn hopped off the stool and headed for the Slytherin table. She sat unfortunately next to Draco and began chatting. Hermione felt and anger well up inside her. Unable to bear the site of them any longer she turned away from them to watch Adrick Adler. He sat down and he was sorted into Gryffindor. He walked down the table and surprisingly sat next to her. He looked at her and smiled Hermione melted inside. "Hi, im Adrick, but you probably already knew that…" he said staring at her with intense amber eyes outlined in the deepest black she had ever seen.
"Hermione." She said, still lost in his eyes.
"Well Hermione I think this will be a very fun year don't you?" he said. There was a shadow that flickered in his amber eyes but Hermione dismissed it as a trick of the light. He smiled again but this smile did not reach his eyes. It seemed sinister in a way, but she was oblivious to it. Something deep inside her stirred and she did not like it, for its very presence promised nothing good.
