Chapter 8: Aimeryl, Mercury's tear

            It was…..Harry, sleeping on the couch. What is he doing here? Hermione asked herself, she noticed that Harry had a bruise on his face. And where could he have gotten that? Hmm? He looks tired…should I wake him… She leaned in closer to get a better look at his bruise when Harry suddenly bolted upright hitting Hermione on the forehead. "Ouch!" she squealed.

            "Hermione? What are you doing?" he asked rubbing his forehead.

            "Me? What are you doing here?" she held Harry's face, "And where did you get that?"

            Harry looked down, "Uhh…." He kept blinking, "I got it from playing quidditch."

            "You know you're a very bad liar. Now tell me the truth what happened." She demanded.

            Harry gave a defeated sigh, "If you must know I got into a fight." Blink.

            "And?"

            "And it was over." Blink.

            "Harry! You blink every time you lie tell me who did this to you."

            "Herm, it's…" he paused, "I don't know how I can tell you." Another pause now longer than before, "Ron found out about us. Someone sent him a letter." He said slowly looking at Hermione's face.

            Hermione grew pale, she was as white as a ghost. "What?" she asked.

            "He knows. He punched and I decided to leave." Harry answered, placing a hand on Hermione's back.

            She looked as if she was going to faint any second, "How?" she asked, tears welling in her eyes. "We were so careful. I spent time with Malfoy!" she ranted.

            "I know ,but I couldn't lie to him anymore. I'm so sorry, Herm." Harry pulled Hermione closer and gave her a reassuring hug. "Don't worry everything's going to be okay. I'm not losing the family I have anymore."

            Hermione buried her face on his chest, Ron hates me. He hates us. I lost Harry his family. I kissed Malfoy. I…I…I…. she broke into violent sobs shaking her body. Harry held her tighter, "Please Herm, it's going to be okay."

            "He hates us! He hates us!" she repeated over and over.

            Harry chuckled, "No Herm, he hates me not you." Hermione stared into Harry's eyes, his were filled with tears too. "Harry, what do we do now?" she asked.

            "I'm going to fix this. Everything. I got you into this, remember?" he let  her go and stood up, "You and Ron will be together in no time." He said smiling.

            Hermione didn't know why ,but she felt hurt and angry when these words passed his lips. Me and Ron?  After kissing me? After screwing up my already screwed up life?!, she thought flabbergasted. You! YOU….DENSE MORON! She wanted to scream at him for being so thick, but pursed her lips. Calm down…1…2…3…4…5…6…7…8…9…BLAZING IDIOT!! MEN ARE SO DENSE!!! Hermione was having an inner struggle between staying calm and strangling Harry and strangling Harry was looking like the better choice. "Me and …Ron?" she managed to ask.

            "Yeah! You and Ron will be together and we'll forget this ever happened." Harry answered cheerfully.

            AAAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!! YOU KNOW FOR THE BOY WHO LIVED I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU MADE IT THIS FAR BEING SO THICK!! FORGET IT?! LIKE I CAN BLOODY FORGET MY FIRST KISS!!! Tears were cascading down her cheeks not because of fear but of anger, her face was starting to screw up too. She looked like murder and as soon as it came it was gone. She looked calm and peaceful. "Harry, I'm going to talk to Malfoy and call my labor off. It doesn't matter anymore since Ron already knows." She stormed out of the room and made her way to Malfoy's .

            Draco for the first time in his life got up early, he was already dressed before five. He expected to see Granger outside waiting for him her face screwed up in anger. He loved torturing her and their arguments always fascinated him. How many curses can they throw at each other? What can I do to her now? Were words that played in his mind. When he opened the door he was disappointed to see no one. Where the hell is Granger? She's not yet here. Maybe she was traumatized by yesterday, good. ,smiling at the thought. He waited for her outside when he noticed a girl walking or speed walking to his room. Aah! Granger.

            "Malfoy!" she screamed, "It's over! I'm not going to be your slave anymore."

            "Hmm?" he asked, amusement written all over his face.

            "YOU PIG! YOU SENT THAT LETTER DIDN'T YOU?! " she screamed ,poking him.

            "What?" he asked, Stupid Granger, lost her mind! What bloody letter?!

            "You wrote to Ron and told him! You …you….Argh!" Hermione kept poking at him. Draco was starting to be annoyed, he grabbed her hand and calmly answered, "Granger, don't be stupid. I won't do that because I want you to suffer."

            "Yeah right?! You expect me to believe you?" she pulled her hand away and scorned at him. Malfoy is such a git!!!

            "Mudblood, I don't care. Remember, that's not the only thing you're hiding." He smirked, he pinned her to the wall. "Granger. Granger. Granger, don't be stupid….I already know Potter's here ,but he doesn't know what you did yesterday." He told her threateningly.

Hermione glared at him but didn't say anything. A part of her was scared that Harry might find out and she knew that Malfoy would tell him ever given the opportunity, the other was glad if the truth came out then she'll be rid of the DENSE MR. POTTER!

"Now, what do we do then. Do I tell ,Potter? Or do you still work for me?" he asked, circling her.

Hermione sighed, she knew he won. "Okay, Malfoy."

"I knew you'd see it my way. Now, let me see. You come when I call you. Like a good dog."

Hermione growled, she wanted to pounce on him and snap his neck. "Piss off!"

"Now you even growl, good dog!" he teased, petting Hermione's hair.

Self-control…killing him won't do you any good…but if I could just break his neck or pull out his tongue I'd feel better. She closed her eyes and talked herself out of killing him. Thanks to Harry and Malfoy I've become homicidal. "Don't touch my hair." She said with finality. Draco removed his hand and handed her a box. "What is this?!"

            "Open it."

            Hermione opened the box and saw a beautiful pendant on a silver chain. The pendant was made out of a blue diamond and was shaped like a dragon. "Wow!" Hermione slowly took it out of the box, "it's beautiful."

            "You see, Granger. We can afford the finer things in life."

            Hermione glared at him ,but looked at the pendant again. "What do I do with it?" she asked.

            "Are you stupid?! Of course you wear it."

            Hermione ignored his comment and looked at its fine detail, "What is this?" she asked.

            "Well. Well. Well. I guess you don't know everything after all." He took the pendant, "This is an Aimeryl, Mercury's tear. Perhaps you've heard of it."

            Hermione shook her head, "It's a rare jewel found only in the bottom of the ocean. It was said that when Mercury was in one of his travels he met a beautiful lady and fell in love but there love was forbidden and they couldn't be together. So he looked after her until the day she died, never able to be with her. He shed a tear , only one and it dropped into the ocean and formed into this beautiful jewel." He explained, "What a lot of people don't know is that  an Aimeryl is useful for communication. I guessed that was his final wish , to talk to her. But enough of this love thing. I want you to wear that and when I need you it will glow."

"Glow?" she lifted an eyebrow.

"Are you an imbecile?! It will glow when I need you and if you don't answer it will become hot and burn your skin. I think that's its best feature."

Hermione was surprised Malfoy had anything in his big inflated head, "How do I know where you are?"

"Aah! I forgot to tell you. It will show where I am. Now , I'm off to breakfast. By the way, take care of it you can sell everything you own and still not be able to pay for it." He said cockily, sauntering away.

Hermione glared at him, "Stupid cocky bastard!"

(My Note: Uh…btw…an Aimeryl is my make believe thing…lol..its actually my name..in cuts…aimee beryl..now you know who I am, lol…bye! Sorry for interrupting. Read on my fine fellow!)

            Harry was surprised when Hermione just walked out, "What did I say?" he asked himself. Duh?! A voice inside him called, You and Ron together. Mate, I dunno if you're dumb or thick…you kissed her?! Harry shook away the thought. "I better follow her." Harry got up and followed Hermione. He almost caught up ,but was stopped by Cho.

            "Harry!" she called to him, Harry stopped. "Hi Cho!"

            "I thought you were gone for the holidays." She said sweetly.

            "Yeah! I just got back. I'm spending the rest of my holidays here. How are you?" he asked, trying to smile.

            "Me? I've been lonesome. I missed you."

            Harry looked uncomfortable, "Uh..Cho…I have to talk to Her.." Harry trailed off because Cho already pulled him away. "Let's have breakfast together, Harry. C'mon!"

            "Cho, I…"

            "I'm not going to lose you to a mudblood." She whispered to herself.

            "What?"

            "Nothing! Let's go! I'm hungry!" Cho pulled Harry to the Great Hall.

(My Note: Bothering you guys again…lol…Cho's mean! Wahahahaha!)

            Hermione decided to go to the Great Hall to eat breakfast, Malfoy is so infuriating!! She felt her stomach rumbling, "I'm starving." She arrived in the Great Hall and saw Harry with Cho, she was all over him. Hermione's jaw dropped when Harry flirted back.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
