"Hermione!" Luna sat up screaming. Panting heavily she looked at her clock, it read 3:00 am. She put her hand on her still rapid beating heart, only to really feel her sweat soaked clothes. Ginny came running in, the apartment they were in was actually decent sized, Luna's dad was paying for it, Ginny had to actually rush to get to her friends bed, she flung her arms around her neck.

"Shhhh, it's okay, it's okay," she was stroking the blonds hair.

"No it's not," Luna was sobbing now, all the magic that Luna had just let loose they were going to have to run again soon. Playing bodyguard to a seer wasn't all it was cracked up to be. Leaving Neville was also hard to deal with, but the running was worse.

"What do you mean?" Ginny was holding Luna's shoulders and was looking at the girls face, the tears mixed with mascara made for an ideal sob scene.

"I saw it," she was upset and couldn't calm down, breathing was still uneven and she was looking every wheres but Ginny's face.

"What did you see?" coaxed Ginny putting both hands on Luna's face to look her in the eyes.

"Death."

Pansy walked into her room, she had just come from the Prancing Pony again. She had thought her parent's hated muggle things and yet they constantly went to a pub named after a pub in a muggle book. She shook her head as she noticed a letter on her desk.

"P,

Something happened to H, we're sending you the new information. The news of her mothers death and the whole your-going-to-have-to-kill-or-be-killed is getting to her. At least that's what we're thinking because she went off with goalie, I think that was his codename. We need you and Par to start talking again. I'm sending a letter to her too. Please help us, I know you're there and surrounded by masks, but try your best.

R."

She went where with Dean? And is it even Dean she's with? Sighing she looked at the pile of papers that had materialized upon her completion of reading the letter. She then started her letter.

"R,

That's it, I'll be coming there soon. I'll ask to play spy for MV. But I'll really be a double agent. I only found that he put his pet into a bubble type thing. That's sure to be one, he knows you're looking for them. I've heard there's only six. Two are gone. That leaves four. I don't know how we're going to kill the snake, I'll be there as soon as possible.

P."

Hermione was sitting in the back seat of a limo, between Dean and Integra, flipping through sheet after sheet of gory details. Reading the reports on what happened to her childhood friends and neighbors, she was trying to hold in tears. The gruesome details, down to the nitty gritty. Her mouth was set into a thin line trying to not show any emotion. The fact that she learned was that wolves could show thier emotion more then vampires, this still didn't make her want to start balling in front of them. She had gotten through all the papers, now to work on her mothers. She opened the file, Integra's eyes now not leaving her face as it paled. Tears started to roll down her cheeks. Her breathing started to become erratic, her hands got shaky. The damage had been so much greater then what she had previously believed. Is that why Integra is bringing her to her hospital. Why would they know so much more about traumatic experiences? These kind of experiences?

"C...can... you do.. an.n.n.ything about her eyes?" asked Hermione stammering, unable to get words out.

"We might be able to," she paused "do surgery if we can find a donor," Integra said rubbing her granddaughter's back.

A few hours later...

They had made it back to the mainland of Japan to Integra's estate. Her mom had already been placed in a hospital room and now had the sun shining in on her. She's seems more peaceful with sunlight on her. More angelic, Hermione thought with tears still in her eyes. She had made her own notes of the case, she analyzed all the jell that Draco had given her. She knew which deatheaters helped with Fenir's massacre. This was a black mark against them, definitely. She was going to make sure they would receive all the punishment they could get. Divine judgement wasn't her thing but hell she would make it her thing to make sure those bastards knew what they did was wrong.

"Hermione are you ready to go back to school?" Integra asked from behind her.

Hermione turned, and nodded, "I'll come back with a month to ask the Peer members for their vote. I know you're the peaceful clan, but I'll need you."

Integra nodded at her granddaughters resolve. She would make a great leader. She has her grandfathers power and will. This put a smile on Integra's lips.

The ride to school on Dean's bike was a little less depressing, Hermione still wasn't talking. They made it back to school by the beginning of the last hour, but by the time they were done reporting in to the Chairman the classes were switching. The girls were going to crowd the night class again but saw Hermione. They were all staring from afar. Some of the vampires foung this distressing, they even looked at Hermione, even without heightened senses they could tell something was wrong. Just as they had noticed her, sure enough so had all the transfers, they all seemed like they were from the same old school and there were even more transfers now. Most of them with the same dark aura as Hermione and Dean. Yori walked in front of the night class heading toward Hermione. She stopped, "I guess your pathetic vampire dealings are nothing compared to ours," the hurt evident in her voice as she stared at her former best friend. She unleashed her aura that she was hiding, it was the same as Hermione's.

"What are you?" asked Kaname.

"Wouldn't you like to know. Of course you might also want to know when to flee. You vampires seem to be good at that, running away from anything that seems hard. Especially a friendship."

"What do you mean flee?" asked Ichijou.

"You can't sense it? There is going to be a huge battle. You're standing on the war front. Innocents are going to die, and with your insatiable thrust for blood I wouldn't want you around a bunch of dying people," she was very bitter. She continued walking toward Hermione.

That's when Yuki followed her. She grabbed her arm and swung her around. "I don't get it! I understand that you're sad," she paused searching for words, "That me and you can't be friends. But that doesn't mean that you get to be like this!"

"Be like what Yuki? I was being nice and warning you," this was clearly a yelling match and both girls were upset.

"What good is a warning if you don't know what from. We don't even know what you are. I wanted to protect you by having you staying away from me," Yuki yelled, she was doing all she could from crying.

"Well I can handle myself, do you really think you can do me in so easily, like a human? I told you I could handle it.

"Stand down," this was an order, Yori quickly recognized the voice. She shut her mouth and took a few steps back and was standing even with Hermione who had walked forward. "What pray tell are you doing? Do you just want to start another war." a few nameless vampire were snickering. Hermione's ears however picked it up. As did everyone else's "They did not just say that," Dean lost his own mental state and took out his wand and the vampires went flying, taking out trees. Harry was standing in front of him.

"What are you doing?" He yelled.

Another vampire had jumped and was going to land on top of him when Balise launched himself at the vampire. His eyes glowing yellow and his face was looking more and more like a snarling dog. That was the end, suddenly he was frozen to the ground and the Hanabusa came into the fight. He however was caught up in a plant that had snaked through the ground. Kaname was about to use his telepathic powers when he was flung backwards. Hermione had stepped in, it was now leader against leader. Each knowing what the other would do before they actually did it. Thoughts of her mother swept through her mind, emotions are bad in a real fight but she knew she had the element of surprise. She disappeared, only to show up behind Kaname. His eyes widened as he shielded himself from what was going to happen. They all froze wolf, vampire, human (well all the other students ran) were holding their breath. She stood still her hand to his throat so that her middle finger was touching.

"You lose, tell everyone else that they attack one of mine I'll personally kill them. Pure bloods are hard to come by, the only reason I won this round was because you weren't expecting my interruption."

Though this outburst was seen by none other then the chairman.

teehehehehe

who are all the new transfers? and the detention from hell? Will the vampires take the good guys side in the war?

find out next time.
