Hermione's POV

Although after Arithmancy, Malfoy and I parted, he seemed to stay in my mind. Something was off with him. He must have seen something bad in the mirror. When he read my answer to his question, he turned very pale. I really want to know what he saw. It must have been pretty bad, for he was second guessing a powerful magical object. Either that or he was just in denial, but both would make sense. I was so distracted with my thoughts, that my feet led me right to History of Magic without me even noticing. Harry and Ron were already there, and they had saved me a spot in the middle of them.

I was barely taking my usual quality notes. But nobody seemed to notice. Until when Ron looked to copy, he was able to point out grammar and spelling mistakes. Ron did!!! Ron!!! And no offense to him, but he can sometimes be thicker than a concussed troll.

Oh well. I'll hopefully be able to solve all of this tonight. I can eat dinner really quickly and the go to the library to look up more on the Mirror of Erised. Maybe there's a way to see what other people see. Who knows, but I'll find out, maybe. I can't wait until dinner now…one more class.

Then if I look that up at dinner, then after curfew, I'll use Harry's Invisibility Cloak again to go back to the mirror. Hopefully, I'll have found a way to see what Draco saw. y hell, did the bell ring already?? I missed the other half of Professor Binns' lecture. I sighed and headed off to Herbology, the last class before dinner.

After Herbology, Harry, Ron and I were dirty and exhausted, we couldn't wait for dinner. All the way back up to the castle they were mumbling and complaining about how hungry they were. It took all my patience not to silence them both with my wand.

True to my intentions, right after I finished eating---whereas Harry and Ron had just started eating---I rushed to the library to research more on the Mirror of Erised. I browsed through the magical objects section for a while before I found a suitable book. But I couldn't find out whether or not you could see what someone else saw. No matter, I kept looking, but after a couple more books, I became e discouraged. Every book was just as unhelpful as the previous, for they all said the some thing. You could see what someone else saw, but only on the terms that it became your desireBut there wasn't too much a chance of that happening. And when it came down to it, I'd rather have my desire fulfilled, than to give that up to see Malfoy's. My desire could change, but most likely it would still have the same basic thought, and it would just have more or less detail. In this one book, called Magical Enchantments on Extremely Powerfully Magical Objects, it did have an interesting page. It said that if two people were soul mates, and didn't know it, it would sort of…give them a push in the right direction. It would show different romantic scenes with them, in it, and subconsciously they would grow closer, until the images are not just desires in a mirror, they'd be reality.

I thought that that might be it. Maybe that's what Malfoy saw. Someone for his soul mate…someone repulsive like Pansy. Nah, he's too good for her, I don't like him, but that's still terrible, from his point of view. Anyway, I doubt that Fate would be that cruel.

A quick look at my watch told me that it was 5 minutes before curfew. I rushed to the Common Room to ask of if I had to, "borrow" Harry's Invisibility Cloak. Hopefully, he'll still be up, he won't ask too many questions; I think. Or so I thought. Upon entering the Common Room, I was faced with 20 questions courtesy of Harry and Ron.

"Where were you??"

'I was in the library, Ron.'

"Why were you in the library?"

'I had to look something up.'

"Did you even eat anything?"

'Yes mother.'

"Why'd you eat so fast?"

'Because I wanted to hurry.'

"Are you becoming an anorexic or a bulimic?"

'Merlin no, Harry!!!!'

"Is this more about SPEW?"

'No, Ronald, and it's S.P.E.W; not SPEW!!!!!'

There were many more questions, but they finally shut up after I threatened to take out my wand. But then, it started up again once I asked to borrow the cloak.

"Why do you need it?" Harry nosed.

'To go somewhere after curfew.'

"Where are you going?"

'Nowhere that's any of your businesses'

"Can I come with you??"

'Umm' I pretended to consider it. 'No.'

"Can I come??" Ron begged.

'Yea—NO!!!'

"Can we both come?" They chimed.

'(Sigh) What part of 'NO!' don't you guys comprehend?? The N or the O. NO!!'

"Are you secretly seeing someone??"

'Oh my gosh, no!!!'

"Is that it, are you going to snog some boy?"

'Bloody hell no!!!!!!! You guys are paranoid!!'

"Or ??" Ron turned green as that left his mouth. Both boys looked sick at this. For that matter, so did I!!

'I'm not even dignifying that with a response.'

Again, before they would stop asking questions, and before Harry would let me use his cloak, I had to threaten to hex them. Boy that is definitely getting old. But hey, if it works!

When I finally got the cloak, I bid them goodnight, and left. There's no way for them to follow me, so I wasn't worried. I slipped out and put the cloak on, and walked quickly to the room with the mirror. Hopefully, this wouldn't take too long.

…Meanwhile, back in the Common Room….

"Ok, should we go now?" Ron whispered to Harry, even though they were the only ones in the area.

"No, we don't have to yet. We can always get up early—"At this Ron groaned and Harry glared. "—to see where she went. But I still don't like the idea of casting the spell on the cloak" he said, looking guilty.

"Relax, Harry. It's not going to do anything to her. All it does is put footprints where she walked. She can't see them, but to us, they'll be bright purple. We'll find out where she was; she won't know that we know, so we won't be hexed within an inch of our lives. Problem solved." Ron grinned triumphantly. That didn't seem to comfort Harry, for he still looked extremely nervous.

…Back to Hermione…

I walked into the room and, headed briskly towards the mirror. Again, I found myself leaning in to see whatever would be in there. The same images appeared as last time. But there was something different about them. There was more detail. Before, I couldn't see details that clearly, but now, everything became sharper. The looked like…me!!! It was me in all of the scenes!!! I looked more carefully to see who the guy with me was. The features slowly but surely became clearer. What used to be an unidentifiable shade of hair, turned to a platinum ; now that I think about it, that's just like Malfoy's. And the face developed aristocratic structure. Oh no. I know what's happening!!! That's Malfoy with me!!! Am I—the thought hurt even trying to finish it—Malfoy's, (I gulped) soul mate??

TBC…

A/N: Please read and review!!!!! I will do my best to update ASAP!!!!!

Much love,
