Chapter 17
The exhibition was now only a few hours away and Hermione had the perfect idea. She decided on a few simple spells that wouldn't be too dangerous. She practiced a little and got dressed to perform. She wore the dress that Dobby made for her. She looked beautiful and confident.
The exhibition started and Hermione waited for her turn. When she got on the stage, she took a deep breath and raised her arms.
She cast a light spell to start off. Then when everyone was in awe, she cast her next spell.
"Oh, source of all power, light which burns beyond crimson, let thy power gather in my hand. Fireball," she said quietly. She aimed for the sky and let it explode high above their heads. Now for the next spell.
"Wind, crimson flame. Grant the power of thunder to my hand. Digu Volt," she said as quietly as before. For this spell she also aimed for the sky. Lightning shot from her hand up into the sky and awed the audience. They were applauding and cheering. Three spells left.
"You who crosses between sky and earth, gently flowing water, gather in my hand and give me power. Demona Crystal," she said as she held her hands out and down. An icy fog came out of the ground and froze an object on the stage. She then flicked it and it turned into an ice sculpture of the prince. She smirked as the crowd cheered. Time to calm the crowd before she moved on to the finale.
"You pitiful twisted creatures, not of this world…by the Light of Purity I possess, I bid thee, be gone to the nexus of our two worlds. Megido Flare," she said. She held her hands out to the crowd and the spell took effect. The crowd calmed instantly and the sat in their seats. Time for the grand finale. She needed everyone to be still for this one to avoid casualties. That was why she used the previous spell.
"Earth below me, submit to my will. Dug Haut," she said as she slammed her hand on the ground. Large stone spears came out of the ground around her and she used a special spell to make them gather and form a miniature version of Hogwarts. She then used another special spell to set off fireworks.
The spell she had used to calm the crowd had worn off and they stood and cheered. Hermione smirked before standing up straight and smiling at the crowd. She bowed and then waved at the crowd. She then walked off the stage and towards Draco's room. She was tired now and she wanted to sleep for the rest of the day. The few extra spells that she had thrown in had tired her.
Draco rushed to catch up with her. "Hey, Mione!" he called. She slowed her pace and he walked beside her. The exhibition wasn't over yet, but all wizards were required to stay with their familiars more than being at the exhibition.
That's when they saw it. There was a thief standing on an earthen golem! She was stealing the Staff of Destruction!
(A/N: Um…well…the Staff of Destruction was in Zero no Tsukaima…I couldn't think of anything else for the thief to steal. Gomen. Sorry. Anyway, on with the story!)
"Hey! What do you think you're doing?" Draco yelled. The thief turned her head and had her golem attack them. Hermione grabbed Draco's arms and flew up using a simple spell. She set Draco down in a safe area. She then flew back up and started to conjure her next spell.
"Source of all power-" she started but was cut off by the golem's arm hitting her. She was knocked into the school wall hard enough to break the wall. The loud noise brought the teachers and the headmaster. The thief retreated with her golem and the Staff of Destruction. Draco rushed over to Hermione and held her unconscious body in his arms. He tried to wake her up, but it didn't work. Draco felt many emotions boil to the surface. Anger and sadness were the predominate emotions. He was out for blood until Hermione stopped him.
"Don't worry, Draco. It's just a flesh wound," she said with a grin. "I'll just heal myself and-" Hermione started but was cut off by a sharp pain in her…everywhere really.
"Stop it, Mione. I'll take you to the nurse," Draco said as he lifted her and carried her towards the infirmary. She passed out on the way there.
He lied her down on the bed and explained to Pomfrey what had happened. Pomfrey started the healing process and Draco stayed close by. After Pomfrey finished, Draco sat beside Hermione, waiting for her to wake up. Aldon came in a few minutes later and sat beside Draco.
"This is your fault," Aldon said.
"I know," Draco said sadly.
