They were supposed to leave at five and there they lay on the bed totally unprepared. She got up and jagged Draco to senses she then pulled him to the sink and dipped his face into the water.
"What are you doing granger?"He gasped for breath.
"We are leaving right now"
"no we are not madam I want to freshen up a bit before I go to meet my parents souls and I know that I am positively stinking right now because I have not yet got rid of yesterdays clothes."
"Okay mister but please be quick and do use some kind of deo or else I'll faint."
They changed fast and left the house by 5:30 they landed on the foothills of the high mountain of greylock in on top of which ilvermony is situated. They made it up there on foot and they were given the permission to enter the school as Draco had contacted the headmistress beforehand as his parents graves were inside the school premises. She and Draco went inside and met the cool tempered head Mrs. Agnes River. She led them tactfully to the graves of lucius and narcissa malfoy. Hermione could see Draco's expression changing and by the time they had reached the graves he was having a total meltdown. He never before had visited the graves not even at the funeral as he was angry on them about all wrongs they had done in the wars. Hermione knelt down and produced a beautiful bouquet of white roses on the gravestones. Draco wanted to stay alone with his parents for sometime before he himself joined them so Hermione and Mrs. Agnes went back into the castle. Hermione explained Draco's condition to her and she said that something she had got that could actually help her save his life.
"Puckzia is very common in our continent and many millions of people die every year due to it. Miss granger I am not one hundred percent sure but there is a heal for puckzia but it is extremely hard to make. Still I cannot bear to see a couple like you to be separated and I think you will be able to do it. It is a potion extremely hard to brew and quite impossible to get the ingredients. But I am still telling you all about it."
You need gillyweed loads of it like a bucket full. You need the person's father's bone. You mix them without heat till the bone is dissolved it will take 12 hours of continuous stirring. Then you need a unicorn horn. Powder it up and add then rest this in a cold place for 3 hours. You need a portion of dead coral of very high quality and you better bring it from barrier reef in Australia once you get it, powder it up too and add and rest it for 4 hours. Another material required is the fingernail of a puckwudgie it is an American goblin. You need to please it but they are arrogant and may not help you without something in return. But that is the main ingredient and they are the ones who started the curse so only they can put an end to it. If you still manage to get it then add it whole to the potion which will shrink and turn light brown. That is all if you brew it perfectly as I told you he can be saved but please two conditions are necessary for this potion to work- give it to him the day he is assigned to die, do not go out of the house, fulfill all of his last wishes and keep him happy that day.
"Miss Granger, please try and save him"
"I will and Thank You Miss River I will never be able to thank you enough." She went back to Draco who was murmuring something sitting near his father's grave and it was clear that he had been crying.
They waved a good bye to Miss Agnes and disapparated to Hermione's flat. Now there were only ten nights and 9 days left. It seemed impossible but then she jotted down the ingredients and went to find them. She had got the coral from barrier reef and had brought the bone of lucius malfoy. She needed gillyweed, horn of unicorn and nail of puckwudgie . She needed a bucket full of gillyweed but could gather up only a mug even after hunting all the shop supplies of diagon alley because it was quite rare and no place could provide her a bucket full except maybe Hogwarts. She knew that she would be able to fetch the gillyweed but the problem was with unicorn horn and nail of puckwudgie.
Draco was not with her all afternoon and she knew that he must have been up to something. When she returned she saw that he had bought new Hogwarts robes for both of them. They were going back to Hogwarts again maybe only for a day but she still felt excited. It was 11:00 at night and they already had had dinner so they went to sleep, together again.
