~Chapter 6~
"Professor McGonagall? I… What?" Hermione exclaimed.
"I'm sorry, Hermione. I'm not really explaining this clearly, am I?"
"No, no, you're not."
"So, before the war, there was an agreement between Godric Gryffindor and Salazar Slytherin." Daphne started.
"The two rivals of Hogwarts?" Daphne nodded in confirmation.
"The agreement was that if a major war was to take place in Hogwarts, four selected students were to be…uh…paired together, I guess. All the Slytherins are told first. The Sorting Hat sorted the four Slytherins to who would be best paired up with whom. I got paired with Harry, but I don't really mind because I was already dating him. Astoria, as you can guess, got paired up with Ron. Uh… Blaise got paired up with… Ginny…" Daphne faded off.
"Ginny?!" Hermione yelled in shock.
"Yup. No one knows yet except for the Slytherins, and now, you."
"Okay… So that's…three pairs. Who's the fourth pair?" Daphne avoided eye contact.
"Well… Let's just say that Draco's trying to be a bit more friendly with you…"
"Draco? D-DRACO MALFOY?!" Hermione shouted.
"The one and only I'm afraid…" Daphne whispered.
"NO WAY! I'M NOT MARRYING THAT FERRET!" Hermione leapt up the bed. Daphne tried to calm her down. Hermione whirled around, her eyes shining dangerously. "What happens if we don't marry them?"
"Well… it appears that…Hogwarts…will…be…closed…forever…?" Daphne whispered. Hermione furiously shook her head.
"No. I'm going to stop this before I have to marry that…that…ferret." Hermione stomped out of Daphne's room. Daphne sighed and plopped back on her bed.
