Hello everyone to chapter 13, also known as Hermione's 6th year at Hogwarts. She hasn't seen Harry or Ron or anyone in the wizarding world all summer because she was with her dad all summer and saving New York. She knows what's up though because Harry sent letters to her. Hopefully shit won't hit the fan too hard in this. I also don't own anything but the plot.
HPOV
Back for another year at Hogwarts, with Voldemort back and everyone knowing about it, there have been some restrictions put into place. With the Death Eaters at large they have been taking muggles and muggleborns from their homes. I had to force dad to stay in America so that he wasn't taken.
After the fight against Loki and the Chitauri, I have been seen as Mysteria all over the media and I've been staying with the Weasleys in the week coming up to going back to Hogwarts. I have still been exchanging letters with Draco, very discreetly as Voldemort is staying in his home and he was forced into taking the dark mark because of what happened in the ministry with his father and to protect his mother. Of course when Harry and Ron forced me to go with them to follow Draco and his mother to Borgin and Burks because they didn't hide the fact that they kept checking over their shoulders, I was adamant that Draco wasn't a Death Eater even though I knew fine rightly that he was.
We took the Hogwarts train and Harry had wondered off leaving Ron and I to leave the train, expecting to find him at the station platform but we could see him anywhere. We got off second to last to Draco who gave me a discreet nod of acknowledgement. He quickly put on his stony mask of indifference and made his way to a carriage that only had enough room for one more, leaving Ron and I to take the very last carriage. I could see the thestrals dragging the carriages this year.
Once we got up to the school gates we got off the carriage where we were asked for our name by Professor Flitwick and could see Aurors looking through everyone's luggage Draco was giving off at people being at his things and pulling them out. We –being Ron and I- continued past him and made our way into the great hall to get the first feast of the year. After we watched the first years get sorted and the food appeared, Harry decided to make an appearance, holding a napkin pressed to his bleeding nose. Ginny made a comment of it and he sat down, to eat with us.

McLaggen won't get the hint that I am not into him in any shape or form. He and Ron both tried out for the Keeper spot on the Quidditch team, but I shot a confringo Cormac's way so that he would get confused and miss the goal, so that I could avoid hearing how he was part of the Quidditch team and try even harder to try and get with me.
Draco told me of the job he had to do for Voldemort -an add on to the punishment he received because of Lucius' failure to get the prophesy in the Ministry last year- which was to kill Dumbledore. I then in turn told him about the fight against Loki and the Chitauri that happened over the summer.
We had our first NEWT level potion class of the year that Harry and Ron stumbled into –after being badgered by Professor McGonagall. The new professor of potions, Horace Slughorn had put a display of three cauldrons which I could tell were; Veritaserum, Polyjuice Potion and Amortenia. From the love potion I could smell; fresh snow, dirt and cinnamon – very weird smells as I thought that with smelling the potion it had to smell of things of something you know already, because none of these smells are familiar with me.

"How am I meant to get this bloody old thing to work?" Draco said and kicked the cabinet. We were currently sitting in the Room of Requirement. I sat watching Draco getting frustrated at the old cabinet that he intended to fix so that he can try to fulfil his job given to him by Voldemort. He had to fix it himself, so I don't understand why he brought me with him.
"Draco, maybe you need to take a day away from it? To have a clear mind?" I asked him softly.
"But I can't Hermione! I have to get this blasted thing fixed so that he doesn't torture my mother any more than he already has." Draco shouted.
"Look, I know that you have to do this yourself, but I help indirectly. I'll get you books to help you figure out what you need to do okay? I can get them from the restricted section if I need to." I said to him, going over to him and holding his hands.
"But what if you get in trouble? What if something thinks that you're up to something? Weasley is still convinced that we are seeing each other and I am turning you dark. Do they know what happened during the summer?" He said to me, with a wide eyed expression.
"Only Harry knows because I wrote to him not long after it happened because it was all over muggle TV. A few muggleborns have been following me about the castle that must have seen what happened in New York. As long as they don't interfere with my studying and ask ridiculous questions I should be fine." I said to him.
"But you are fine yes?" he asked me, sitting himself down beside me.
"Physically I am, but mentally I'm getting there. Seeing people that you consider family getting hurt was scary, I don't know how I'm going to deal if a war breaks out here too." I answered him honestly, resting my head on his shoulder and he placed his arm around my shoulders.
"So, Weasley and Brown… How you feel about that relationship?" Draco asked me, effectively changing the subject.
"I don't know. It's slightly disgusting, because all they do is snog each other endlessly and then she gossips about what 'won-won' did to Pavarti at night. I thought that I liked him as more of a friend but after seeing him in a relationship, I don't think we would have moulded well. I also can't figure out those scents from the Amortenia in Slughorns class. Ron doesn't smell of fresh snow, dirt or cinnamon, in fact I don't think anyone at Hogwarts smells like that." I vented out to Draco.
"But I thought that Amortenia was meant to smell of someone that you have met and know?" Draco questioned, confused.
"That's what I thought too, but I don't remember meeting someone with that scent." I confessed to him.

"Harry what are you up to now?" I questioned him when I saw him walk into the common room.
"I had a fight with Draco in the bathrooms." He told me, staring blankly at me.
"What? Why!" I exclaimed to him making my way from the chair I was sitting in to hear his explanation.
"I've seen the way he looked at Katie when she came into the Great Hall and he started to walk out of the Great Hall and I followed him to the boys bathroom on the second floor and we started duelling and then I threw a spell that was in the Half-blood Prince's potion book and it made cuts form on him and Professor Snape came in and healed him, I think. I'm sorry Hermione, I know the two of you are close but I was just so angry over the fact that he looked so guilty over Katie and went after him." Harry explained to me.
"Okay Harry you have justified your actions, but I am not happy that you let your anger take over and made you perform a dark curse from that book." I stated to him.
"He's probably in the hospital wing now. I'll lend you my cloak if you want to visit him." Harry offered.
"No, it's alright. I'll talk to him tomorrow about it or something." I said to him.
"Okay. Do you want to play a game of exploding snaps?" He asked me, sitting down on one the free sofas in the common room that had a small table in front of it and took out a pack of cards.
"Yeah sure. Why not." I shrugged my shoulders and sat down next to him and played the card game.

"I can't believe he's dead." Ron said sitting down on the right to Harry whilst I sat to Harry's left.
"It was Snape that delivered the final blow." Harry said in a blank voice.
"I'm sorry Harry." I told him, placing my head onto his shoulder.
"Malfoy was there too. He disarmed Dumbledore and then Snape appeared and fired the killing curse." Harry said looking over to me.
"Why where you there though Harry?" Ron asked Harry.
"Dumbledore and I went to a cave in the search for one of Voldemort's horcruxes and we found the Slytherin Locket. We brought it back with us and that is when Malfoy appeared. I hid in the secret floor that Dumbledore has in this office watching them talk and Malfoy disarmed him. Then deatheaters arrived and started to taunt Malfoy and then Snape took over and killed him."
"Did you get the locket destroyed?" I asked him.
"No, it's not the real one. It's a fake. Someone with the initials RAB took it swapped it and left a note for Voldemort. But Dumbledore said that there is more of his horcruxes out there so I'll need to destroy them to defeat him." Harry said with aggression.
"We'll Hermione and I will help out as much as we can. Right 'mione?" Ron said, looking over Harry's head to me.
"Yes we'll help you on your plight to destroy Voldemort."
HAPPY NEW YEAR! A month late but, new chapter. Here is 6th Year. I wanted to show Draco and Hermione's friendship in a private setting and I nearly made them kiss but thought they are related in some way and have someone already set up for Hermione.
