Broken Wings

Chapter 8: Temper, Temper

By: Midnight Walker

Hermione sluggishly put on her school uniform and brushed her hair. Today she swept it up into a pony tail, with a few strands escaping and hanging in her eyes. The potion had worn off so Hermione had her original honey brown eyes back. She out lined her eyes in black and put on black eye shadow that hid the dark circles under her eyes. She slung her bag over her shoulder and left the dormitory still in a sleepy haze.

All throughout the night Hermione had nightmares and tossed and turned. Therefore explaining the dark circles. She sat at her house table and ate slowly. She thought about the ball and smiled. She still didn't know what she wanted to be. 'Hmmm, how about a pirate? On second thought, no. I already am a vampire…' Hermione thought about her costume until she noticed everyone leaving and got and hurried to her DADA class. Hermione walked in just as the bell rung and went to sit down next to parvati patil. Parvati scooted away from her, and Hermione rolled her honey eyes. This year's new DADA teacher was Jimena Castillo. Hermione didn't like this teacher at all. She was tall and very skinny. She looked as if she bent over to far, she would brake in half. She stood around 5'7 with green eyes and long chocolate brown hair. It seemed she would stare directly at Hermione when giving a speech.

"Good Morning class."

"Good Morning Professor Castillo." They murmured back. Hermione sat with her mouth shut and stared back at professor Castillo.

"Today's topic will be vampires." She smiled. Hermione back got rigid and she sat up straighter. 'Vampires? Were not supposed to cover this till at least January!' Hermione calmed her thoughts and simply clarified that the professor skipped ahead and few chapters. Draco glanced back at her and gave her a reassuring look. Hermione calmed down and pulled out a piece of parchment and started doodling. She continued being in this dazed manner until a very annoying voice interrupted her calm mood.

"Ms. Granger, I would like you to please tell me how a human is turned into a vampire. Now." 'Great.' Hermione thought.

"Humans are made into a vampire by an infusion of blood. The vampire would bite the human preferably on the neck and drink its blood. If the vampire decides to make this human a vampire as well, then the human will drink its blood, and viola! You have a vampire." The class was silent.

"How do you know such information about vampires?" Professor Castillo asked her a twisted smile on her face.

"By reading those things called books, you should try it some time." The professor turned a brick red. The class looked on their heads turning as if watching a tennis game.

"Detention for your smart answer Ms. Granger." She turned back to the class and was about to begin to teach again when she was interrupted.

"Whatever." Hermione sat staring the professor in her vibrant green eyes.

"What did you say?" her face turning a brick red again.

"You heard me. I said whatever. I don't care anymore; ever since you first laid eyes on me you've been doing un-necessary things to me. Such as detention for nothing, and putting me on the spot everyday in class. I have never done a damn thing to you, so why do you continue to humiliate me?" she screamed now on her feet. Hermione was un-aware of it, but her eyes were slowly turning red and there was a black pulsating aura around her. "Know what? Screw this shit, and you can take this stupid book," which she promptly threw at the professor missing her head by mere inches. "And shove it up your skinny ass." With that Hermione left the door shattering as soon as she was in vicinity of it.

"Hermione, what happened in DADA?" Draco sat down beside her and held her.

"I don't know…I just lost it. There was so much pent up anger from that woman, it just, I don't know. When she put me in detention again for 5th time this year, I lost it." She finished with a sigh. In stead of responding with words, Draco gave her heart felt kiss. The kiss warmed Hermione from the tips of her toes to the top of her head. She moaned as he kissed her deeper. He pulled away from her and stared at her. "What?" she asked totally confused.

"Nothing." He said humor in his eyes. He lowered his lips to hers again and pushed her down to the floor. They stayed lip locking until they ran out of breath. He lay on her stomach and drew invisible circles on her stomach, her giggles making him smile. Draco then realized that he was so in love with Hermione that he was willing to become undead. He wanted to spend eternity with her, however long it was.

"Hermione I've been meaning to discuss something with you." He began. 'Damn im soo nervous!' "Well since you know that I love you with all that I have and more, I was wondering if I could spend eternity with you, as a vampire."

A/n: Well how'd I do? I know this chapter is on the short side, I felt I needed to get it up quickly to help explain a few things. Oh and to answer Silent-Serpent's question: why would it have been a relief for the kids to have a ball? It would be a relief for them to have a Halloween ball, because due to moldy morts raids and attacks throughout the wizarding world. It must weigh heavily on them thinking about such destruction and deaths, so I thought why not give them a ball to take their minds off things? I hope you're satisfied with this answer to your question. If anyone else has a question on this story, feel free to ask even if you think it's a stupid question. Oh and I would like to give thanks to Chrisgocountyjr, for suggesting the idea to make one teacher totally against vampires and one who is sympathetic. Thank you, thank you, thank you! With out that certain review professor Castillo would not have been possible! lol Anyone else with awesome ideas on how I can make this story better? Don't be shy leave it all in the review! wink, wink

Remember no flames!
