Chapter five- Half of My Heart -Draco
The next week was a blur as Draco could think about nothing but what Harry had left for him. Pansy and Blaise noticed and mentioned it to him, but he brushed them off. He was still mad at himself and Pansy for what they had done. Well not mad at Pansy, not really. He was madder at himself for allowing it to happen and that he had drove his lion away. Now it was Saturday again and he was waiting for Hermione to give a signal to him. "Draco, you need to eat," said Pansy from where she sat next to him. He sighed and pulled some eggs towards him.
"Here comes the post," said Blaise as owls flew into the great hall. He looked up to see a beautiful white owl fly in. He caught his breath as he wondered if it could be Hedwig. It landed in front of Hermione and she took a letter from it and attached another.
"That owl is so pretty," sighed Pansy. Another owl flew in, but he didn't notice it until it landed in front of him. It was an albino golden eagle owl. He looked up to see the owl landed in front of him with a package and a letter. On the package was wrote. Don't open till tonight in the moonlight in Harry's messy handwriting. He looked over at the Gryffindor table and caught Hermione's eye.
He quickly wrote something on a piece of parchment and gave it to the owl. It took off and he distracted the other Slytherins, so they didn't see Hermione receive the note. "I think it's about time that Slytherin took back their spot in the school," said Draco standing.
"About time," said Pansy smirking.
"Let's get out of here," said Draco. He put the package in his bag and strode out of the Great Hall with Pansy and Blaise on each side. Crabbe and Goyle flanked them as they left first and second years scrambling to get out of their way.
Potions was a nightmare for the Gryffindor students as usual. But today was even worse because something big happened. Class was about over when Crabbe knocked over a potion that splashed all over Hermione. Everyone scrambled to get out of the way while Hermione screamed and rolled on the floor. "Everyone out!" yelled Snape but it wasn't needed as everyone was running out already. Only Ron, Draco, Pansy, and Blaise remained behind. Ron because of Hermione and the Slytherins because the potion blocked their exit. Snape vanished the potion, but he couldn't help Hermione as her face was covered. "Blaise, Weasley. Get Madame Pomfrey ready. Pansy, try to help get some of the mess off her face and be gentle. Draco go get a healing potion." The students jumped to their tasks as Snape levitated Hermione and they headed for the hospital wing.
"Oh, my word," said Madame Pomfrey putting a hand to her mouth as they walked in. "What kind of potion was it?"
"It was one to reveal hidden things," said Snape. "So, Granger will be in a lot of pain as anything that she has had changed to her form due to magic will be stripped from her." All the students grimaced in sympathy. Poppy nodded and went to get some pain reliever potions. Snape went with her the pair talking in low voices as they went.
"Oh my god," screamed Pansy and the adults turned to see Hermione enveloped in a bright golden light. When the light faded everyone was stunned to see her true form.
In the end only, Blaise was able to say something. "Morgana," he whispered. Where a girl with bushy brown hair lay originally now lay a woman with straight blonde hair that fell to her waist, as well as now having angular cheekbones.
"Is that your missing sister?" asked Pansy to Blaise and he could only nod.
Hermione, Morgana, blinked showing that she now had sharp gray eyes. "Pomfrey a blood relation potion may be needed here," said Snape as the pair of them walked off towards Pomfrey's office.
"What are you talking about?" asked Morgana.
"Hermione… I mean Morgana," said Ron. "Do you know what you look like?"
"Ron what are you talking about?" she asked. Pansy pulled out a handheld mirror and passed it to her.
"I look like…" started Hermione (Morgana).
"Blaise," said Draco.
"How is this possible?" asked Hermione.
"Zabini," said Ron. "Tell her."
"Seventeen years ago, a pair of twins was born to a couple torn between the light and the dark. One twin would side in darkness while the other sided with the light. A prophecy was stated that the twins would destroy the world in either darkness or light if they were separated and not reunited until their 18th birthday had passed. The parents didn't care about the prophecy all they wanted was for their children to be safe. Then just after the twins fifth birthday while the house was asleep someone broke into the nursey and stole one of the twins. The child's cries awakened the couple, but it was too late by the time that they reached the nursey it was too late. The child was gone. The parents were frantic, they sent out people to search everywhere. But they couldn't find anything. Then the Dark Lord came to them and told them that he could find their child if they joined him. They did so but by the time that they did he was overthrown and disappeared. Now 12 years later I find out that I've been with you for the past almost 7 years now."
"We all knew the story," said Ron looking sad. "Now we all know that you actually belong in Slytherin house."
"No, she doesn't" said Pansy. Everyone looked at her in surprise. "Hey us Slytherins may not like Gryffindor's or muggle-born students in general, but all of us respect and envy you to an extent." Draco stared at her in shock.
"Like Pansy said you belong in Gryffindor House, Morgana," said Blaise.
"This also means that she is a Pure Blood, Pansy," said Draco.
"I mean this was a big shock," said Pansy. "The only thing that could be more shocking would be if you and Draco were hooking up." Hermione (Morgana), Ron, and Draco exchanged a look before cracking up. Blaise and Pansy looked on in surprise.
"Us be together," said Draco mid laugh.
"That's hilarious," said Ron almost in tears.
"Well you want to know something almost as funny," said Blaise with a serious look on his face. The trio managed to stop laughing long enough to look at Blaise and compose themselves. "You two are meant to be married." Draco fainted, Hermione/Morgana's mouth dropped open, and Ron looked like a fish his mouth opening and shutting. "What's wrong Morgana?"
"Well first of all, I'm still going to go by Hermione, and second there is no way that I can be with Draco. I have Ron and besides what if Draco has someone of his own?"
"Well we don't get a say," said Pansy. "It's better than mine. I have to marry Goyle." Blaise and Hermione grimaced in sympathy. "Blaise gets to marry Daphne Greengrass."
"Well I have a proposition," said Hermione. The other four looked at her in interest. "We need to bond the four houses together. Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff are all bonded together we just need to get Slytherin in the mix. So here is my plan. We put some Gryffindors with some Slytherins. Neville and Pansy, me and Draco, Blaise can stay with Daphne. We just need to show that our houses can bond together and stand against the fight that is coming. Otherwise they will be little chance that Hogwarts will stay as four houses. We need all four houses to stand united. And you know what is best to unite houses?" The others looked at her not knowing what. "A dance. You don't get a say. Everyone will meet in the great hall later today. Say 5 this afternoon." The others looked on. "I'll send messages to the others." She summoned 8 Patronus otters and sent them off.
"You can summon multiple of them," said Pansy shocked. Hermione smiled and woke Ron up by summoning water and dropping it on him.
"Let's get to work," said Hermione. The five of them walked out of the hospital wing and separated. Ron, Draco, and Hermione for the R.O.R, Pansy to the library, and Blaise to the Great Hall.
"How does it feel to be in here without him?" asked Hermione as they walked in.
"Well half of my heart is gone so crappy," said Draco.
"Ron the letters." He handed them out to them.
"You read first," said Ron.
"Ok," Hermione started. "First of all, we should each read them and see if we want to share."
Draco's letter (he won't read it aloud)
My Dragon,
I'm so sorry to go and leave you but it's what is best for both of us. There is a reason that I left and it's not because of Pansy. I love you and I hope to see you again one day. By now I think you have realized that I'm not coming back to Hogwarts this year. I'm also going to let you know that I'm not going to come back next year also. The reason if much bigger than both of us but someday I hope that you will know. I'm not going to say where I am in case this is stolen by someone else but know that I love you. I hope you like the gift that I got you also.
-Your Lion
Ron's letter (he won't read it aloud)
Dear Ron,
I'm so sorry for messing up our relationship so close before leaving. I hope you can forgive me. You need to unite Hogwarts for me. Do what I can't and pull Slytherin and Gryffindor together. Also, I know that you have fell for Zabini. Ron blushed as he read that part. Don't try and argue with a letter it won't work. Plus, I know that I'm right. Just make sure that you don't break Hermione's heart she deserves that much, but knowing her she probably already knows. Also, you may think that you have no chance with Zabini, but Draco has told me that he talks about you all the time. He says that it gets a bit annoying to say the least. All I could do was laugh because Blaise isn't that bad once you get to know him. He is rather smart and nice. He isn't like the other Slytherins and neither is Pansy. Promise me that you will try and turn who I know can be the love of your life to the light. The road may be hard. You know what Draco and I have gone through and are still are going through. But I digress. Back to the main matter. It seems so silly now to talk about relationships but that's all you need to get by and you need to do what I could never do and unite Hogwarts.
-Hopefully still your best mate, Harry
The boys finished and looked up at Hermione. "I'm going to read mine," said Hermione. The boys nodded, and three bean bags appeared in the room and they sat down in them. "It says," she started. "Dear Hermione. I'm sorry about leaving you soon and I know that I can't change your mind about coming with me now, but I know that you will need to come to me sooner or later, so I left you this box. In it is a golden belt. Say the password that I told you and you will come to me. But remember that you can only use it once. If I can change your mind at all about coming to me by yourself earlier than you wish to, keep reading. Professor Trelawney had a vision about what is to come. She saw Hogwarts in flames and Ron, Draco, Pansy, Blaise, Luna, Neville, Ginny, Dean, Seamus and a girl with startling gray eyes and waist length blonde hair laying in growing puddle of blood at the foot of the Dark Lord's throne. Crabbe and Goyle were at the bottom of the stairs guarding them with their fathers. Bellatrix was destroying the castle. You were gone so I'm going to assume that you had already left to come to me. My house that I am making my new life in is big enough so if it comes to it bring all of them with you. Promise me that you will. And don't be rolling your eyes at me." She was about to roll her eyes but stopped. "Listen to me, even though I know that you don't believe what Trelawney says but I know her prophecies do come to pass. Don't trust Crabbe and Goyle. They will be the ones to let the Dark Lord into Hogwarts. It will happen when the moon is full, and her silver light falls onto the Great Hall. I looked it up, so it will about a month before school ends so please get everyone out if you can. At least the Ravenclaws, Hufflepuffs, and Gryffindors out. I don't want to come back and find Hogwarts in ruins. I will try and find allies here. Dark times are ahead. Also, Draco don't forget the gift I sent you. Love Harry. Ps- we can be formidable if everyone I said comes to join me here when you come. Keep the belt with you at all times. If the barrier on Hogwarts falls then get out there asap because that's who he will punish all others will be spared as most are non-muggle born students." She looked up at the boys. "You know what that means." Both of them stared at her in confusion. "If he is right, then we have only a few weeks left till doomsday is here."
"The day of the ball," said Draco.
"Oh my," said Hermione.
"You do realize that he said all of us we going to be murdered," said Ron. "The thing is he doesn't even realize that Hermione is going to be killed also. All of his friends are going to be killed. And his only family left will be…" Hermione shot him a look. "Hedwig," finished Ron. Draco looked suspiciously at her.
"What aren't you telling me?"
"Nothing," said Hermione and Ron looked confused. "I'm just annoyed that Ronald isn't going to be positive about this situation. Anyway, it doesn't matter. We need to plan on getting everyone out of the school and to safety."
