A few hours had passed since Pansy had come, everyone was basically sleeping with the exception of a few. Most of the vampires were still up listening the reports Pansy was reading over for Hermione.
"I'm not understanding why you guys are still trying to figure us out," Hermione said looking up from her papers that she was reading.
"To be truthful I don't think you'll ever figure it out," This was said by Pansy who was now stretched out on the padded and carpeted floor. She looked over at Hermione who was busy writing things down. "Hermione I'm not quite sure what you are writing down but I'm sure you don't need to. With the transformation you have more brain capacity and photographic memory."
Hermione looked at Pansy, "You said you got the research, may I see it?"
Pansy picked herself off of the floor and walked over the cases. She grabbed a few thick text books and handed them off to Hermione. "These were very hard to get a hold of, be happy."
"Don't worry dear, I'm very happy," She was smiling as she said this, her eyes wondered, and she soon found the dirty blonde haired vampire. He was talking to Ichijou and Kaname. Her eyes looked along his tall frame, not bothering to hide the fact she was checking him out. Her eyes ran along his pale, hard face and to his russet colored eyes. That is when he took his eyes off of Kaname and looked over at her, she quickly looked down embarrassed. His eyes lit up looking at her embarrassment. She started reading the tomes.
Kaname looked where Akatsuki was looking and sighed. He continued talking but only to Ichijou to allow his other friend to think things over. I'm so glad he's over Ruka. It's about time, now if only she would get over me. Maybe I can find someone for her… Yea, that may work. Now just who would go for her?
Soon Ichijou noticed both of his friends were completely out of it, they were in their own little worlds. He decided just to set there and get lost in his thoughts with them.
Pansy was reading through a muggle book Jane Eyre, she soon decided to stop and leave a corner down as a book mark. She looked to Hermione and noticed she was blushing, she was really focusing on not looking up. She turned her head to see what everyone else were doing. Megan, Susan, and Hannah were sitting around some papers and looked like they were working. The only other person awake was Yori, who looked like she was multitasking, her attention was divided up by three things; Hermione, the book she was reading, Mary Shelling's Frankenstien, and a sleeping vampire. That made Pansy whip her around. She saw the glance that Yori shot to Seiren. The three other girls were looking at her, turned and saw Yori's eyes retreating to her book. Pansy looked at the three girls as if saying, 'do you see that?'
A few hours later they were jostled out of their thoughts with the frantic turning of pages. Everyone was woken up from it, they all looked at Hermione. She was running her hands through her hair and writing frantically. She looked worried, her forehead was creased. Pansy looked up from the floor, when Hermione started thumping her pencil on the paper. She got up and moved the books from Hermione's hands, along with the notes she was taking. She sat on the arm of the chair and wrapped her arms around Hermione's neck so she was cradling her. Hermione was starting to piece together what she had just read.
"Why aren't I dead?" She asked this out loud. A question she wanted someone to answer.
"What do you mean?" Asked Yuki.
"She drank the blood of a vampire," they all looked at Yori. She began talking again, "There are many different types of demons and different sub species of those demons. But demons can only feed on humans or others of their kid. Meaning other demon's blood will or should kill them. In all other trials this has been proven correct."
While she was thinking of how to explain the rest Kaname spoke up, "So you're demons?"
"Just as demonic as you are, anyways, with her taking Akatsuki's blood she should be dead, but…" she left off at this part.
"You know why," Pansy looked at Yori.
"Umm…about that…" Yori looked around the room.
Hermione sighed, "I don't care anymore, tell everyone."
"Just remember I'm to take everyone of your orders. Plus this information I'm not evens supposed to know. Hermione you have a genetic quirk like thing, that allows you to meld?… the demon viruses, or curses as people call them. So I think it is pretty safe to assume that you are now partly a vampire and werewolf. If I didn't make sense could someone tell me?"
"See Hermione it's not that bad!" said Pansy.
"Yes it is," said Hermione, "Genetic quirks like this aren't heard of nor do they come about in nature. Demons aren't made to mingle, their blood is even made to fight each other. If someone has two different anamorphic demon bloods in them they are to die. If what Yori says is true, it means I'm an experiment. Does anyone else know about this?"
"You'd definitely have to go look through files from the compound for that information. If Yori wasn't supposed to hear it then none of us would be given that kind of information. We could try to invade the compound then if we were caught we could say we were training. Though if Integra were to find out what we are planning then she would probably want to stop us." This was spoken by Dean.
"Why would Integra be mad?" Asked Hermione.
"Integra is, I don't know how to say it. She's in charge of everything, she tells the researchers what experiments to conduct for starters. The research facility is the best one around, she has scientists working from all over. Of all kinds of species," this was brought up by Balise.
Hermione looked up from Pansy's arms, "I'm going back there within a month to get the wolves on our side in the war Harry. If you can keep the deatheaters at bay for that long, I'll be able to grant you with some more fighters. If we go on the day I go back we'll already be in the compound. Knowing my grandma she'll want me to stay there for at least a few days. We'll be able to learn how they are set up around the compound and plan the night we get there. Is there any last comments?"
"The seers?" asked Hannah.
"They won't see her," Said Susan looking at Megan.
"What do you mean they won't see her?" Asked Pansy.
"The seers can only see the destinies of mortals or vampires, werewolves, werecats. Those kind of things, but by all laws, Hermione should be untouchable. Has anyone been able to see into her mind here? Has anyone been able to do anything to her? Cause I can't and I've been trying," this came from Megan. "If it is true about her being an experiment, then why would Integra make her an heir?"
"That would be easy to figure out, if I were to die, I would want my heir to be better then me. I would want everyone to fear that person. I would make them as 'untouchable' as they could get," this came from Kaname.
"Somehow I expected that from you," said Hermione, then her mind raced. "But what if you knew that your heir knew he was better then you?"
"I wouldn't want him to know until the time came, but if he did? I would most likely kill him, or if more testing needed to be done on him in order to create his 'untouchableness' then I would have him experimented on some more." His eyes were calmly looking around the room at everyone. Most of them looked sick. Hermione noticed this too.
"I do think that Integra thinks that way as well, no one must even hint about us knowing," Hermione said resting her head on Pansy.
"What if they sense the vampire part of you?" Asked Draco.
"They already know," Megan said. Everyone looked at her, "Her future disappeared the moment the first drop of vampire blood hit her tongue," she sighed and looked around to Susan who nodded. "They're all running around kinda panicked, one of them is screaming something. I can't make it out," she started concentrating harder now, Hermione noticed her eyes were black, blood started trickling down from her tear ducks. "The day is the one before we come to infiltrate the compound to get the information," she smirked, "They are setting up a trap, they don't intend for you to leave." Her eyes went back the normal and the tears came out as regular salt water.
"What are they intending to do with her?" asked Susan.
"I can't see her future," said Megan.
"Then look into Integra's," Dean said looking at Megan.
"That's enough we can't force her to see something that she can't see," Said Hermione. That's when Hermione shot up, "Pansy, Megan, Harry? Come into the bathroom with me," she was half way to the bathroom when she stopped. Kaname, Yuki, Yori, please come?"
She sensed Kaname get up and the other two starting to walk. Soon they were cramped in a small bathroom.
"You do know that Hannah can read minds right?" asked Megan. Hermione looked at her then stuck her head out the door and called for Hannah.
"Harry, we're going to propose a trade," said Hermione speaking weakly.
"I don't like where this is going," said Yori.
"Integra wouldn't harm her, expierment but not harm.- this was said by Megan.
"You're going to trade yourself for the help of the wolves? Wolves may be strong by Voldemort also has vamp…is that why Kaname is in here?" Asked Pansy.
"Kaname is here because I was going to ask for his alliance. But thanks Pansy for ruinging the suspense," Hermione turned to Kaname who looked like he was thinking.
"If she is bonded to Akatsuki will you help us?" asked Yori.
"How do you know if she can bond with people?" Asked Megan.
"If she looks into his eyes and sees the moment of his death, with her by his side, they are bonded. But because she has multiple gentic codes in her, she can bond with more then just one being," siad Hannah, Yori looked at her.
"You read my mind, literally"
"But you're first bond won't it be special? Or something?" asked Yuki.
"He'll be the first bond but I can feel other minds in mine. I don't know how to explain it," said Hermione.
"The empress has that too," said Yori.
"The minds you feel connected to yours are those of your three living cousins," this was spoken by Dean.
If was quite for a moment.
"I'll fight along side the wolves to help you. But then again you two knew that aready," he said facing Megan and Hannah. They smiled nervously, "I have a cousin myself who lives in London England who has been telling me what is going on between the spell casting people. I'll help the 'boy who lived'" the last part he did with air quotes.
"Ha, thanks?" said Harry looking at him weirdly.
"Besides everyone knows that you have the blood of an aristocratic vampire in you from your father," Kaname said looking at Harry who was obviously startled.
"I want to see if she's bound to Akatsuki," this was said by Yuki breaking the tension that was forming.
"If she can see his death then she can prevent it, that is what bonds do," said Megan pointing out a pro to being bonded. Hermione was looking at Kaname, who opened the bathroom door and poked his head out and called Akatsuki to the bathroom meeting. He walked in towering over the rest of them, besides Dean and Balise.
"How do I do this?" asked Hermione weakly, almost scared.
"Haven't you looked in his eyes before?" asked Yuki.
"No I haven't I was kind of scared," she looked at the ground then walked over to the Akatsuki. She looked up when her breath caught.
She stood there, her legs impaled with long swords keeping her pinned to the floor. She was standing in front of Akatsuki protecting him as best she could. Tying her to him so he wouldn't die. She looked around the vision and saw that she was also tying her life to another being that was blank. She couldn't make out who it was. When suddenly out of nowhere a troop of red eyed vampires appeared….
That was the end of the vision, she was breathing heavily.
After a while of standing around Hannah finally spoke. "Megan, some people were wondering if you can see the items?"
"I've known about them for ever." she looked at Harry. "Do you know how Pansy said that there were six? Well two of them are destroyed so four, but there was seven," she went on to explain. After the explaination, Hermione came up with a plan.
Everyone noticed that while she was talking she has positioned herself next to Akatsuki, with the exception of her, when she stopped talking she looked surprised to see him standing next to her.
"As soon as the detention is over, that is when we are going to set all of this up. The battle ground is no longer going to be here, we're going to take it to London. We just need to explain this to everyone else. As soon as I get the wolves on our side, it'll be a matter of hours. Which means Megan, get in touch with Luna and Ginny. Hannah you get in touch with the Patil twins.
