The wake up and the spells
Hermione woke up with the biggest, splitting, headache she had ever had. She tried opening her eyes but it was too bright even though the lights were dimmed. She moaned lightly hoping someone would hear her.
"Thank Merlin. You're awake" a gentle voice said.
Hermione tried one more time to open her eyes… but she still had to squint. She then realized that she was on a bed in the Hospital wing. Draco was coming toward her. He gently sat next to her on her bed and switched the cloth around so the cold side was on her head. He smiled down at her.
"Feeling better?" he asked, softly.
Hermione nodded. Bad idea. It felt as if someone had just hit her over the head a few times with a hammer.
"How long have I been out?" she asked him, her eyes going into focus.
"Two months." Draco answered.
"Oh Merlin! I've missed lessons!" Hermione screamed shrilly.
"God Hermione, you'd think you wouldn't care as much about that after what happened."
"Wait. What happened?" Hermione asked slowly as she tried to sit up.
"You don't remember?" Draco looked a bit shocked as Hermione shook her head, then he handed her a blue potion.
"Take this it'll help."
Hermione slowly sipped the potion and winced. "Yuck!" Before Draco could say anything Hermione's face clouded over. Everything came back to her. Twister, Harry, Dumbledore, the chandelier. Everything. Her third power. Her mother's power. All she needed was Prue's power and she'd be completely charmed.
Hermione looked up to see Draco staring straight at her looking worried.
"I'm fine, really. Have you seen Prue?"
"Yeah she said to tell you that you'll be getting you last power, as soon as you're up." Draco told her.
"Okay."
"Why did I faint?" Hermione asked unexpectedly.
"You weren't used to the power. It drained your energy because you don't know how to fight it"
Hermione was shocked how did Draco know this? But before she could say anything the infirmary doors opened with a bang.
"HERMIONE! Darling! Thank Merlin your alright! Oh how terrible, I knew we should of taught you how to orb! "
Both Draco and Hermione jumped up to see who had made such a noise, though it wasn't really that hard to guess.
Penny, Dumbledore, Snape and Prue all came rushing over to her bed.
"Oh the poor dear! Look at her she looks like crap."
Draco and the rest snorted with laughter as Hermione looked at her grandmother in shock.
"Grandma, I'm fine really."
"Nonsense! I'll tell you when your fine or not!"
Suddenly Penny started to use all types of old charms and spells to test Hermione. She did everything expertly Draco and Mia were left in awe. As soon as all the charms turned pink Penny stood straighter, smiled and said-
"You're fine! Really Hermione you shouldn't make such a fuss of everything. It's not healthy."
By this time Draco was actually on the floor laughing his head off. While Hermione just snorted.
"Now that Penny has expertly looked you over I see no reason why you two can't rush off to dinner." Dumbledore smiled happily.
The two teens nodded quickly and rushed out of the Hospital wing.
Hermione and Draco walked down the stairs towards The Great Hall. Their arms linked as they walked down the corridors. People gasped as they walked by them. Everyone had heard what had happened to Hermione even if they hadn't been there. News spread fast, and now Hermione was back and apparently healthy. They walked up to the large oak doors and stopped. They looked at each other.
"Ready?" asked Draco as he placed a hand on the door's handle.
Hermione nodded. "Born ready"
Draco opened the doors and they walked in, arms still linked.
Everyone in The Great Hall cheered. Hermione was shocked to see Professor Dumbledore smiling up at the Heads Table. (How did he get there so quickly?) The others teachers were shocked… except Snape, Prue and Penny of course.
Pansy, Blaise, Harry, Ginny and Ron all rushed up to Hermione hugging her tight.
"Cant…Breathe…"
"Hermione! You're back!"
"We missed you!"
"God Mya, we thought you were dead." Pansy who was still clinging to Hermione's arm shot a glare at Blaise.
"Merlin, how could you say that Blaise, Sheesh."
Hermione and Draco looked at each other. Hermione smirked and Draco winked as they went to their table for dinner.
.Later.
At 9 PM. Four Slytherin's and two Gryffindor's made their way to their training session. Since everyone had trained while Hermione was in her coma they were all working much better than before.
Everyone stood at different sides of the room with their partners. Except for Hermione and Prue who both sat inside a small circle of candles.
"Are you ready?" Prue asked smiling slightly.
"Ready."
Prue nodded and started the incantation,
"What's mine is yours
What's yours is mine
Let our powers cross the line
I offer up my gift to share
Share the powers through the air."
The small white lights that surrounded Prue now slowly made their way to Hermione, who could only look at them. By this time everyone was looking at them not only her.
The lights covered her from head to toe in a white cloud of smoke. When Hermione looked down at herself she found she started rising off the floor. She noticed that the mark on her arm was now pure white.
"Blessed be."
As soon as Prue said this Hermione was back on the floor. "Hermione I'm very happy to say that you are now Purely Charmed." Prue said smiling again.
"In that case I think it's time for you all to get ready." Dumbledore spoke gravely.
"Ready for what?" Ron and Blaze asked together.
"Ready to infiltrate yourselves into Voldemort's dark circle. You are to come back here after breakfast tomorrow. But for now off to bed all of you."
The four Slytherin's made their way to their joint dorm once they reached the portrait of the four Hogwarts founders, Blaise said the password. "Fine Unity." They all sat in their favourite arm chairs, they were all silent until Hermione suddenly jumped up.
"Mya what are you doing?" Pansy asked what the boys were thinking.
"That blank parchment that Dumbledore gave me! I've got to find it!" Hermione's shrill voice ran out across the room.
. minutes later.::.
"IT'S NOT HERE!"
"Hermione you really need to calm down! It's only a piece of parchment!" Blaise knew instantly it was the wrong thing to say.
Seeing the look on her friends faces 'Mione' instantly calmed down. "Sorry."
Pansy hugged her and suddenly a light seemed to switch on in Hermione's head. She closed her eyes and recited,
''Guiding spirits I ask your charity,
lend me your focus and clarity,
lead me to what I cannot find,
restore that and my peace of mind"
Draco, Pansy and Blaise looked on in awe as muggle and magical things seemed to be appearing at will. Pretty soon the common room was filled with papers and toys etc…
"Hermione Halliwell what did you do?"
Hermione smiled at Draco. "It's a spell of my mothers! A lost and found spell. Isn't it great?"
"Wait, you mean to say that all this" Pansy signalled all around the common room. "this is everything you've lost through out you're life?"
"Pretty much. But this is what I was looking for!" With a happy sigh Hermione reached down to pick up the piece of parchment her grandfather had given her.
"Hermione send it away! I'm stuck!" Hermione and Pansy looked up to see Draco trying to pull Blaise out of a small paddling pool.
"Merlin Mya how did you manage to loose that?" Pansy giggled.
"Apparently it was my first magic trick," Hermione said before closing her eyes once more,
"I return what I didn't want to find,
let it be out of sight, out of mind"
As quick as it came everything disappeared again leavening a very neat common room.
Hermione looked at the blank parchment then smiled.
"Blessed be reveal yourself to me!"
Pansy peered over Hermione's shoulder as did Draco and Blaise, the once blank parchment now had two spells on it and both spell seemed to do the same thing, they allowed you to talk to the dead.
"Hear these words, here my cries,
sprit from the other side
come to me, I summon thee,
cross now the great divide."
And for the second time small lights surrounded her and the flowed over to the clear space in front of them, and slowly but steadily it began to take form. A woman in a sparkling blue dress was stepping out of the light, the young woman stepped out of the light and pulled a very handsome man out with her.
Hermione was speechless. "Mum? Dad?"
