D/C-I do not own Harry Potter, if I did I wouldn't be writing this story. The only character that I do own is carmilla...xx LPHybrid28
The rest of lessons went by rather quickly. Carmilla and Draco managed to throw some insults at each other that made some people just stop and stare. No one suspected a thing well almost no one. Hermione still wondered what the hell was going on, one minute Carmilla was all chummy with Malfoy and the next their throwing insults at each other and being caddy. Something was definitely going on and she was determined to find out, but she would have to wait until their last class was over. Once Professor Flitwick finished he dismissed the class. Everyone grabbed their things and filed out of the classroom. Hermione caught up with Carmilla and pulled her to the side.
"Now can you tell me what's going on?" Hermione said in a hushed tone.
"Of course I'll tell you but you can not tell anyone even Harry and Ron at least not yet. I was in Dumbldore's office that's why I was late to transfiguration. My mother came to talk to me, she wanted to put my mind at ease so that I wouldn't worry too much. Before I turn seventeen I will marry Malfoy. My mother is going to plan everything out so that I don't have to worry. She is going to find an elder to perform the ceremony and Dumbledore is going to find a binding spell that will marry us in wizarding law so that Malfoy's parents can't try to have it broken." Carmilla said quickly.
Hermione's mouth fell open and practically hit the floor. "Malfoy actually agreed to this, is he sick or something because this is so not Malfoy. At least not the malfoy I know" Hermione said incredulously.
"He's agreed to it willingly. Dumbledore has given us permission to alter our appearance if we wanted to be together while in school, and gave us a room that we can go to talk and hang out that no one can enter."
"Wow Dumbledore seems to be bending over backwards for this. I wonder why" Hermione said.
"He said something about having more house unity and said something about this being an excellent way to start. I mean I took into consideration what you said to me about Malfoy and how he treated you and Harry and Ron. I actually confronted him and kind of hurt his feelings before I went to talk to my mother. I told him about what you had said to me about him. I said that if you can be so cruel to them, why are you so nice to me. Then I explained to him that I thought it would have been best if we stood away from each other. I had a bad experience in the past with purebloods betraying me I wasn't about to let him do something to me. Unfortunately I had that conversation with him before I went to Dumbledore's office. After the meeting in his office things between me and him changed for the better. We just have to act like we totally despise each other in public."
"That shouldn't be so hard the two of you are pretty damn good actors you almost had me fooled. The key word there is almost though" Hermione said with a laugh.
"Thanks I'm trying to make it as believable as possible I don't want anyone getting suspicious. That's why I need your help if there is any time where Harry and Ron ask where I am and you don't know just play dumb. Most likely I will be with Draco, I'll try to let you know what's going on so that you can cover for me. Until the time is right Harry and Ron can't know about this. Do I have your word that you won't say anything" Carmilla said.
"Of course you have my word, luckily Quidditch will be starting soon so Harry and Ron will be so preoccupied with that they won't think to ask about you." Hermione replied.
"Wait isn't Draco on the quidditch team for his house?" Carmilla asked.
"Oh geez now I'm going to have to fight for his time because he'll be just as preoccupied."
"Now your going to know how I've been feeling every year since Harry made the quidditch team in first year. All they talk about his quidditch, I swear they eat, sleep and breathe quidditch." Hermione said solemnly.
"Hey"
Both girls jumped as Harry and Ron came up from behind them.
"What are you guys talking about?" Ron asked.
"Oh nothing much I was just telling Carmilla how the both of you get so wrapped up in quidditch, that the world could come to an end around you and the both of you wouldn't even notice." Hermione teased.
"We're not that bad, stop making us look like we're obsessed" Harry said in a defensive tone.
"I'm making you look obsessed, the both of you make yourselves look obsessed. So don't try blaming this on me." Hermione said while glaring at Harry.
"Ok so maybe we get a wee bit obsessed" Harry admitted.
"Well at least you admit it" Carmilla said lightly.
"If we're done bickering about who's obsessed over what let's get to dinner I'm starving." Hermione said.
"Me too" Carmilla replied.
They all started to make their way to the great hall so that they could eat. Carmilla walked on the side of Hermione while Harry was beside Carmilla and Ron was beside Hermione. As they walked they came face to face with a gang of slytherins and the ring leader of them all was none other than Draco Malfoy.
"Well look who it is, the wonder trio and look they have a new friend." Draco said sarcastically with a sneer. Carmilla stepped forward and came face to face with Malfoy. "Look guys its Malfoy and his beloved cronies, how lucky are we to have to see their faces." Carmilla said with a smirk.
"Watch what you say halfblood, it would give me great pleasure to hex you into oblivion." Pansy said menacingly.
"Don't worry I wouldn't dream of touching your precious Draco. Too bad though Pansy desires the one thing that she can not have. Such a pity why do you follow Malfoy around, don't you realize how pathetic you are." Carmilla said with a look of disgust as she pushed her way past the slytherins and entered the great hall.
"Aren't you going to defend me Draco" Pansy whined.
"She's right you really are pathetic" Draco replied as he entered the great hall. He took a seat at the slytherin table, he made sure that he faced the Gryffindor table so that he could steal glances at Carmilla.
"You were brilliant back there putting Pansy in her place, I don't think I've seen anyone have guts like that." Ron said with a look of amazement.
"Well somebody had to do it, she is just plain annoying. She thinks she's better than anyone just because she's pureblood and in slytherin. I mean look at you Ron you're a pureblood and you're so nice. I can't stand people like that." Carmilla said.
"But what can you do there will always be people like her, as long as Voldemort is around." Harry said.
"Someone please give me the scoop about Voldemort, you have to forgive me I only know a few things about him. I have been living in the vampire world most of my life. Isn't he a half blood, isn't one of his parents a muggle." Carmilla inquired.
"Yes but he still believes that some wizards are better than others, and he has a lot of followers. Their called death eaters and it's a well known fact that mostly every wizard that went bad was in slytherin house. Some of the students that attend Hogwarts right now are destined to be death eaters because their parents are death eaters." Harry said.
"How can you tell who's a death eater?" Carmilla asked.
"When they get initiated they have to take the dark mark, it gets burned into the inner part of their left forearm. That's how the dark lord let's you know when there is a meeting, the mark burns." Hermione said.
"So basically what your saying is that the slytherin table is full of soon to be death eaters and Dumbledore doesn't do anything about this" Carmilla said in shock.
"There's nothing that he can't do, technically none of them can become death eaters until they graduate from school. As long as they don't do anything while their in school, Dumbledore can't do anything." Harry said with a sigh.
"So that's pretty much why all the slytherins think that their so much better. They think their better because of the purity of their blood and because they worship their precious Voldemort. They think that he'll be able to take over the world and rid the world of all muggles, muggleborns, half bloods, and anything that they deemed beneath them." Hermione huffed.
"So basically my kind would be wiped out, if Voldemort did by chance take over the world." Carmilla said
"Yeah"
"Believe when I say this, just take my word for it there is no way in hell that my father would let him destroy the entire vampire race." Carmilla said as she took a sip of pumpkin juice.
"Why?" Harry asked curiously.
"Just trust me on this one Harry, I know my dad"
"Why don't you just tell us about him, I mean we're all friends here we accept you for who you are. We wouldn't care who your father is" Harry said soothingly.
"I don't know if I should tell you" Carmilla said hesitantly.
"Come on we're all friends" Ron urged.
"Ok I give in" Carmilla said.
"So who is your father anyway, I mean you never mentioned him before." Harry said curiously.
"Your probably not familiar with the vampire world so I'll give you the condensed version of my life since I do want to finish my supper tonight. My father met my mother and well you know things happened and she got pregnant with me. They parted ways but when my dad found out about me he came and stole me in the middle of the night. I was with him until a little while ago. My mother came and got me away from him, my father isn't the kindest man. I've seen him do some terrible things in the past, that's why I say Voldemort will never destroy all the vampires. My father thinks that vampires are above everyone else. He despises purebloods, he thinks there the most deceitful and sneakiest creatures to walk the earth." Carmilla said with a shamed look on her face. Her father embarrassed her she didn't want people to think that she was like her father. She was nothing like him. She had emotions, she couldn't be as cold and distant as he was. She didn't have it in her. She had feelings, she was capable of love.
"So what's your father's name?" Ron asked.
"His name is…." Carmilla said. Before she could finish her sentence a bat swooped in through the window. Carmilla's heart started to race she watched the bat circle around in the air. Everyone seemed to be mesmerized by the bat, soon the bat flew lower until it landed right in front of Carmilla. What she feared was happening, the bat started to transform into a person. Someone that she didn't want to see, someone that meant her father knew she was here.
"Hello Carmilla your father has been looking for you, he'll be very pleased to know that I've found you"
