Chapter 7
Hermione pov.
A letter and a...slumber party?


Its been a week since the storm and Draco, Theo, and I have become really close and Blasé to I guess. What bothers me is the fact that me and Ariana haven't talked very much and Narcissa doesn't mind. She actually encourages me to hang out with Draco and Theo. I don't get it, but for right now I don't really mind.

I walked to the dining room and sat down for breakfast. I looked around and I noticed everyone was there. After the first night when everyone first came, a few days later all the moms went home. So the only adult here is Narcissa.

"Children, the house elves have informed me that all of you have a letter," Narcissa said with a smile.

All of a sudden a bunch of house elves appeared and they all had a letter in their hand.

"Miss this time Flopsy checked. It's a happy letter this time," Flopsy said while shoving the letter into my hand. I smiled then I opened the letter and read...

A look of happiness was on all our faces. Narcissa smiled at all of us. Not that she didn't know we where all going to get our letters.

"I have already sent out the acceptance letters and I was thinking that we should go to Diagon Alley tomorrow afternoon what do you kids think," Narcissa asked us.

"Oh can we, pppplease" Squealed Pansy.

Narcissa looked at all of us, most of the girls where giving her there best puppy dog pout, and the guys where just nodding their heads like mad.

"Ok I'll make you a deal, the girls have to have a slumber party. Also the boys can do what boys do...I guess, and the boys can't come, deal..." Narcissa asked us. The girls all looked around then Pansy said "deal."

I was sitting on Pansy's bed. All the girls where here and we where all in our pajamas most of us had pink, green, or light blue, but I had yellow and I kind of stood out. We where all sitting there awkwardly.

"Ok that's it. Now we all know as soon as we go to breakfast tomorrow the boys are going to ask us what we did so I refuse to let this some boring party cause we don't want to get smirked at all day tomorrow do we?" she said looking around. We all pretty much nodded and just let Pansy take control.

"Ok so first thing we have to do is someone has to get Veritaserum from Mrs. Malfoy and since I'm in charge I don't have to do it soo... Who going to do it," she asked with her hand on her hip.

Me being stupid I had to say "what do we need it for?"

Pansy looked at me hard and then a evil smile crossed her face. "Hermione why don't you go get it since your brave enough to ask questions," Pansy said. I couldn't really say no cause then I'd look weak. So I nodded walked across the room with everyone's eyes on me. Opened the door walked out and when the door was almost shut I heard Pansy say "she going to be in so much trouble."

I decided to ignore what Pansy said. I walked down three hallways. Took two left turns one right. Walked down one staircase, and then finally decided I'm lost.

"Hermione? What are you doing here," someone said. I turned around and let out a sigh of relief when I saw him.

"Blasé if I didn't know any better I would say you've been fallowing me," I said to him.

He smirked and said "where were you trying to go Granger." When my new mom decided to adopt me I wanted to keep my last name so I'll never forget my old family so now I'm officially Hermione Jean Granger Nott, yea I know what your thinking long name.

"I'm trying to find your Draco's mother, but it appears I'm lost," I said with a sigh.

He smirked and then came closer so I could see him properly. This hallway wasn't very bright it was long had dark green walls, portraits, and three lights so it was hard to see him. It looked like he just came out of a shower he had water in his hair and some sweat pants on with a dark gray T-shirt that made his green eyes extremely visible.

"Why do you need her," he asked? When I didn't immediately respond he frowned. Was it ok to tell him? Pansy never said I couldn't.

"Me and the girls need Veritaserum. I'm pretty sure where going to play truth or dare." I said. I watched him carefully he looked like he was thinking for a minute. Then a huge smirk appeared on his face.

"Fallow me I'll show you where you can get some," he said.

I decided to trust him, but I'm going keep an eye on him because he's supposed to be a major flirt. He started walking so I fallowed not really paying attention to where I was going but watching that smirk still plastered to his face. He looked over at me and caught my eye he looked at me for a seconds smiled and then winked. Ugh I could kill him I quickly took my eyes off him to watch where I was going. It was a good thing to cause I almost ran into a little table I avoided that, but then accidentally ran into Blasé. He grabbed my waist to make sure I wasn't going to fall, but I ripped away from him. I thought he thought I wanted to get closer to him. Sick-o perv trying to touch me. Ugh I'll kill him in his sleep.
"Don't touch me," I snarled at him.

He looked at me confused for a second and then apparently something clicked.

"I was just trying to help it was nothing personal," he said. He smirked and then said "but only if you want it to be."

Before I could say anything he opened a door and pushed me inside. Narcissa was wearing her night clothes to apparently. The room was big like mine but in this room it looked like a study. It also had lavender walls in stead of trees.

"Hermione dear did you need something," she asked sweetly.

"Yes miss I well the girls and I was wondering if you had some Veritaserum," I asked. She studied me hard for a second then she smiled lighting up her whole face.

"Yes hang on one second I'll get some for you," she said.

She got off her chair and walked into a room connected to the study. I walked around the room because it was taking her a while. I walked towards her desk and saw a picture frame I picked it up. I watched a younger Draco pick up a stick in the gardens, it was obvious that he didn't know he was getting his picture taken. Because once he had the stick firmly in his grasp he started running around pointing the wand and pretending he was battling some unknown force. The little boy was making sound affects and everything, and then he fell to his knees dropped the stick grasped his heart and fell face first into the dirt. I was smiling, but wondering where did this little boy went?

"He was a lot more cheerful then wasn't he?" she asked.

I nodded and she handed me the bottle. I set down the picture. I looked at her and she looked kind of hallow. She looked at the picture and then back at me.

"I have seen more of that little boy lately and I think I know why," she said still watching me. I looked at the picture again. I wanted to ask her what happened the little boy, but something inside told me I don't want to know.


I got back to the room and opened the door. Everyone watched me as I handed that little bottle to Pansy.

"How did you get it?," asked Destiny. She asked looking dumbfounded.

"I asked," I said simply while shrugging. Everybody's eyes got bigger. Except Pansy's hers narrowed considerably.

"Alright now that we have the Veritaserum after the long wait," she said staring at me. "We can now play truth or dare." she said smirking.

-Draco-

I was in my room with the other guys talking when Blasé threw open the door. And pretty much yelled "the girls are playing truth or dare!"

He looked around the room and when nobody jumped up and screamed 'what are we waiting for' and ran out the door, he looked a little disturbed.

"What are you waiting for," he yelled at us.

"What did want us to do," Theo inquired.

"Well Draco should know all the secret passage ways and one of them has to lead to the girls room," he said looking at me.

"How do you even know if the girls are playing truth or dare," I said no giving away if I know if there are secret passage ways.

At this question he smirked "I charmed it out of Hermione," he said.

I was extremely annoyed at this point. I looked over my shoulder and saw Theo pissed as hell.

A couple of the other guys kept asking if we could do it until I was out voted and was forced to go along with it.

I pulled a rope under my bed and a hidden door opened. We all kind of rushed though the walls until we heard Pansy say, "truth or dare."

-Hermione-

Pansy divided out the Veritaserum equally and then we all drank.

"Ok so who wants to go first," the pug nosed girl asked. "Fine Ariana, what is the wort thing you've ever done," she said.

"The worst thing I did was... I fallowed Draco when he made me mad. So to get ride of me he climbed a tree I fallowed him," there was a collection of gasps around the room "and I ripped and dirtied my dress on accident," she said then bowed her head in shame. While gasps and girls with hands over there mouths stared at her.

"Its your turn to ask Ariana," said Pansy had a smirk on her face.

"Can everybody do this next one," Ariana asked. We all just nodded still in shock.

"Ok who do you like like at this moment," she asked

"I like Draco," said Pansy with a smirk. In the secret tunnel he made a face of disgust, while the other guys silenced laughs.

"I like Marcus Flint, you don't know him," said Destiny. She looked around for someone else to speak up.

"I like Adrian," said Hope not wanting to look at anyone. While Blasé gave the guy his sister liked, a long look that said hurt-my-sister-and-you'll-get-hurt.

It went on kind of like that Daphne and Astoria said who they liked and then it was my turn.

I had a strange need to tell the truth and then it fell out and it sounded like this "I like Draco and I like Blasé, but Draco has the whole I'm a bad boy thing going on for him. Blasé has the whole I-can-flirt-with-anybody-I-want-and-I-don't-give-a-dam thing for him. So I think I like Blasé a little bit better." I covered my mouth with my hands shocked at what I said.

Behind the wall Draco looked livid while Blasé was smirking. A few of the other guys saw Draco and decided it was time to leave. They pulled the two away from the rooms tunnel and ended up in there own room. As soon as Draco was free he jerked out of someone's grip and stormed out of the room.

While back in the room full of girls Pansy was extremely upset with what I said. Then we all kind of went to our own part of the room and went to sleep, but the last thought I had was 'some times the truth hurts.'

Once all the girls where asleep one last pair of eyes turned to leave the scene that just unraveled.
