Chapter 11: Nice Little Surprise
Hermione woke up to ice-cold water being poured onto her head. She looked up to see Cissy with an empty bucket in her hands.
She remembered the promise she had made and didn't say anything.
Cissy smiled at her. "You will call me Master Malfoy or just Master do you understand?" she asked.
"Yes Master Malfoy," Hermione said softly.
"Good. Now go back to Hogwarts before any fools notice your absence. I absolutely forbid you to tell anyone of this. I understand you told some friends of being a Death Eater. If I find out you told anyone you will deeply regret it." She said threateningly.
"And just as a warning you will have a surprise waiting for you at Hogwarts," she said gleefully.
Hermione swallowed. "Yes Master," she said bowing.
She then apparated back to Hogwarts.
Quietly Hermione crept up to bed and fell asleep.
Hermione woke up to someone gently shaking her. She opened one eye blearily.
"Wake up sleepy head," Ginny said.
"Classes start in about an hour,"
Hermione's eyes widened and she jumped out of bed.
In about two minutes, she was fully clothed and Ginny was staring in horror at her face. "What in the name of Merlin happened to you?" she yelped.
Hermione looked at her in confusion before cautiously going into the bathroom.
When Hermione saw her face, she gasped.
Her whole face was bruised. She had two black eyes and a bruise shaped like a chain stuck out greatly on her neck.
Hermione slowly turned to Ginny.
"Gin what am I going to do?" she wailed.
Ginny scanned the room and her eyes fell on her pack.
"Come here Hermione. You're having a full makeover," she said giggling.
"Ready to look at yourself?" Ginny asked
As soon as Hermione nodded, Ginny twirled the chair around and Hermione gasped. It was still her but so much different!
This girl had straight, silky hair, large dark puppy eyes, smoother skin, and soft, pink lips. She was glad her friend had made her makeup look somewhat natural and surprised with how pretty she looked.
"Goodness, I look like I could be in a fashion magazine! How did you do this?" she asked happily.
Ginny grinned. "I'll tell ya later but right now we have ten minutes till class." Ginny said pulling Hermione out the door.
Hermione & Ginny burst through through the door of Charms just as the bell rang.
"Please sit down everyone," Professor Flitwick squeaked.
Hermione and Ginny walked over to Harry, Ron, Lilah, Zane, and Neville. Harry and Ron looked at her uncertainly.
"Who are you? Can I help you?" Harry and Ron asked at the same time. Hermione stared at him while Ginny muffled a laugh.
"Do I really look that different?" she asked stunned.
Everyone burst out laughing.
"Are you okay Ron?" Ginny asked.
Harry turned around just in time to see his best mate faint.
He cursed under his breath so no one would hear, put the Muffliato spell around them, then turned back towards Hermione.
"Do you like it? Ginny did it for me." Hermione told everyone.
She looked at Ron's unconscious form. "Is someone going to wake Ron up?" she asked.
Everyone looked at each other. "No. He's a git so why should I?" Ginny asked.
"He'll just stare at you and he might even faint again," commented Harry.
"No," Lilah and Zane said in unison.
Neville just stood back so Hermione wouldn't ask him.
Hermione sighed. "Enerv-" she began.
"Wait!" Harry exclaimed.
Harry let out a breath of relief along with Lilah, Zane, and Neville.
Hermione glared at them. "Do you know how dangerous it is to stop in the middle of a spell Harry? I could've been seriously hurt!" she said.
"No I don't but that would have been nothing compared with what would happen if you finished that spell Hermione," Harry said seriously.
"Why?" Ginny and Hermione asked at the same time. Hermione said it a bit more angrily though.
"Because Ron has to wake up by himself," Harry said.
"Again I ask why?" Hermione asked impatiently.
Harry hesitated and Ginny gave him a cold stare. "Because if we wake him he will die," Lilah, Zane, Harry, and Neville said quietly.
Ginny looked like she was on the verge of tears and Hermione's face went blank.
'How could she do this? How could she put my best friend's life in danger?' she screamed.
'You said you deserved every punishment you get so don't go complaining about it!" Lucius barked. 'Besides, this is punishment for that Potter boy too. He was the one who killed Bella. Cissy and Bella were known to all as sisters. Cissy thinks of Harry killing her sister not her cousin. You just think about that the next time your friend is about to do something stupid!' he snarled.
'Yes Master' she said timidly.
'Wait! How do I know when she wants me?' Hermione asked.
'Trust me. You will know' He said.
Hermione could easily imagine Lucius grinning madly right then and shivered slightly.
Hermione suddenly felt something cold dump on her and she looked up.
"Huh? What happened?" she asked confused. Ginny was standing in front of her holding an empty cup.
"Did you just pour water on me?" Hermione shrieked.
Ginny grinned. "Yes as a matter of fact. I had been calling your name about ten times already! What was going on in that head of yours?" she exclaimed.
"Oh I was thinking of different books I had read. I was trying to remember if there was a way to take away Ron's curse." She answered grinning inside at her quick thinking.
Everyone turned around as Ron slowly opened his eyes.
When he saw Hermione he looked like he was about to faint again. "Augumenti!" Harry said pointing his wand at Ron.
Ron sat bolt upright coughing. Ginny laughed. "You look pathetic!" she cried breaking the tension for a split second.
Ron glared at her and she smiled sweetly at him.
Suddenly Ron turned to Harry standing up. "Do they know about the thing?" he asked. Everyone tensed up immediately and nodded.
Ginny almost knocked Ron over as she hugged him tightly.
"Who did this to you Ron? Can we wake you up with noise? Mum will make a huge fuss and Dad will go mad!" Ginny said. Suddenly she burst into tears and Ron patted her on the back awkwardly looking to Hermione for help.
"You can wake me up with noise Ginny. All you have to do is ask Fred and George to blow something up." Ron said making everyone laugh.
"So we can't wake you up with a shake or touching you in any way?" Lilah asked.
Ron shook his head and everyone nodded in understanding. Harry quickly took the Muffliato spell off as the bell rang.
Hermione did the spell quickly so she wouldn't have any homework and Ron watched.
He tried the spell once ending up making it snow. Hermione grabbed Ron with a sigh and dragged him out the door.
