Has The World has gone mad? By. Rita Skeeter
Has the world gone mad? Or has the infamous Hermione Granger once again sunk her claws into another wealthy and prominent figure in the wizarding world.
Last night, Hermione Granger was spotted at a restaurant with none other then Lucius Malfoy, Lord of Malfoy Manor and love interest to many woman who would love to be in he shoes. Reports say the pair was quite cozy and seemed rather close when they danced and ended the show with a kiss that sent silverware clattering and drinks spilling.
Hermione Granger is no stranger to men in high places. She has been seen with Quiddich seeker Viktor Krum as well as Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley; the witch obviously has a thing for being seen in the spotlight. My question is how she does it? Is there something that we don't see? Or does she have a way with men? The world may never know but I suspect her newest relationship with The elder Malfoy has something to do with the Malfoy fortune or wanting to make a name for herself as a muggle born.
I will continue to watch the progress of this relationship as I am sure she will once again leave the wizard and move on to someone better.
Hermione threw the paper to the table with a sigh. The article itself was rather short for Rita but hey, she needed room for the half dozen pictures that were plastered across the front page of the Prophet.
"You expected less?" Lucius asked with a smirk
"Not really, but the woman makes me out to be a hussy. She didn't even mention anything about you other then your wealth and good looks."
"Well" Lucius started, "At least the first step was a success. I suspect to article has been read by everyone by this time."
"Thats what I'm afraid of" she stated, knowing he was right.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
And right he was. Around the entire wizarding English population, coffee cups fell from readers hands, breakfast was allowed to burn or remain uneaten as the pictures of Lucius and Hermione greeted them with a kiss.
Harry looked at his paper and sighed, She sure let everyone know in a subtle way. He dressed and made his way to the burrow before a mob of angered red heads showed up at his door.
He decided on apparating to the yard instead of inside the house – he didn't want to be caught in any crossfires or on the end of an angry hex. He walked towards the door and heard a rumble of outraged voices. He briefly thought about turning around and disappearing for a while but his better side kicked in and he found himself knocking on the door.
It only took a minute or so before the door was yanked open by a heavy breathing Molly Weasley, who looked as if she would kill first and ask questions later.
"Good morning Harry" she said and let out her breath, she didn't want to take it out on him, "Have you by chance seen the morning Prophet?"
Harry hesitated but nodded none the less, " Yes, I just read it." he replied
"Well come in dear.. we are trying to figure out a way to get her checked for the Imperious curse."
Harry shook his head and entered the house – it was going to be a long day.
Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
The Weasley's weren't the only ones in an uproar. Pureblood families that still held predjudic were reading the paper with sneers and rants of disgust. How dare a pureblood such as a Malfoy take up with a lowly mudblood.. it was proposterous – she must be holding something against him.
There was however a good side to this as well. There were still some people who honestly didn't care about who was with who... They had more important thing to worry about then what was in the latest gossip column.
Llllllllllllllllllllll
It only took two hours after Hermione first read the paper before the owls started coming in. Owl after owl dropped a letter and left. She was sure she had even seen a few owls come back a second and third time with a new letter.
"Uhh, Is this the response you were hoping for?" She asked with a wide eyed look as the pile of letters grew.
"Not exactly, but it should be interesting to see what the dear readers, have come up with."
Hermione shook her head and went to grab a few letters, she was curious to see what they said. As she almost reached the stack, Lucius told her not to touch anything because there was no telling if curses had been put into the letters or not. He called Draco and Blaise down to have them help check the letters for curses of the darker nature.
The four sat at the table, reading the letters and making comments about the contents. Hermione would only get a letter after it had been checked by one of the three men.
"Here's one" Hermione laughed, "Apparently, I've put you under the Imperious."
"Well, thats one for me... I've been accused at least 15 times just in my stack." Lucius replied while opening the next letter.
"Hey Granger... This one wants to know what you are blackmailing my father with." Draco chuckled.. this was entertaining.
"Uhhh," Blaise mumbled, " Did the article say anything about the whole Vampire deal?"
Hermione and Lucius quirked their eyebrows and said 'no ' at the same time.
"Why?" Draco asked
"Because" Blaise started, " This letter is saying he wishes to make Hermione his mate."
"And?" Hermione asked
"Well, he states that he is the one who turned Lucius in the first place and has the right to take his mate as he will soon become the Alpha."
Hermione grew a deathly shade of white..., "If the letter is true, This guy plans on challenging Bill"
Lucius nodded, "I think we need to have a little chat with Bill on this one just to be on the safe side."
Draco and Blaise looked confused, "Bill who?" Draco asked
Lucius sighed, "Bill Weasley is the Alpha Vampire in this area."
"How? He's already a wolf." Blaise asked
Hermione shrugged, "He told us things just like to bite him."
