Chapter 10: Another Vial Used
Well done Draco, this information will not go unnoticed by Voldemort. He will be very proud, as I am. Yes I have informed Snape of your request, he has not responded yet. I don't care what order you get the information, but I want the information now. Time is valuable Draco, use it wisely. The war is approaching, and if you want The Dark Lord to win, you will obey these commands. Don't make a fool of the family. Listen to the instructions of your father, and master. For it will lead you to victory.

Hermione had, had a fantastic week that week. Draco didn't seem to care who she brought to the Common Room. As long as they weren't shouting. Rose, Hermione and Carter Anne had hung out all week since Monday. Harry, Ron and Ginny didn't seem to pleased about that. Not that she cared what so ever.
Turns out Hermione worried over nothing. Carter Anne took quite a liking to Hermione. She was able to get out of the Hospital Wing that Wednesday ,and seemed completely upset she didn't get to spend as much time with Hermione as Rose had.
Carter Anne was in Gryffindor house like Rose and Hermione. She was a pureblood, but was also classified as a blood traitor. Carter Anne had nice straight blonde hair. Compared to Hermione she looked like a vampire, her skin was as white as snow. She was fair height about 5'4,and always sat up like a lady. Carter Anne had beautiful blue eyes that resembled frozen ice almost. The thing about Carter Anne though was she wasn't as intelligent as Hermione and Rose. She was smart but often had her 'blonde moments' as she called them. She was a very funny and social character. Hermione adored her as well.
It was a Saturday morning, Hermione had to do the daily patrols with Draco today. Hermione sighed as she climbed out of bed. She had been hoping to spend time with her two new friends today , but sadly she had Head duties that could not be looked over. Groaning she got dressed. She wasn't exactly looking forward for today.
"So Granger are you ready for patrols?" A voice asked from behind her. Quickly spinning on her heel to see a smirking Malfoy. She glared at him. Still embarrassed from the little predicament that had happened early Monday morning.
"Ready as I'll ever be." She sighed. Malfoy passed her a water bottle. Without thinking Hermione drank a bit of it. Draco grinned a bit then replied.
"Alright then lets go."
Both walked out of the dorm. One completely forgetting an important oblivious potion on his desk top.
Both walked the grounds for a while before Draco began to ask questions.
"Alright Granger time for my interrogation again." He began.
"What?" She asked. He grimaced.
"Alright test question, what happened to that muggle friend of yours." He asked. He didn't notice that her eyes where basically outside her head.
"Died of cancer in second year." She blurted out. Her hand slapped her mouth.
"Yup, that's right ok then-" He started.
"Why did I just tell you that, and how did you know it was true!?" She screeched. He turned to look at her.
"How are you reacting to this I gave you the oblivious potion again-" He stopped. Realizing what he had forgotten.
'Oblivious potion, what are you talking about?"
"I guess I'll have to question you without it."
"WHAT?!"
"Alright Granger tell me something I don't know."
"In third year I had a time turner and rescues Buckbeak with it. Harry helped." She blurted out. Horror obvious on her face.
"Really? How bizarre."
"Ma;foy answer me why am I telling you this?"
"I believe it's called the truth potion. Now care to tell me war plans?" He asked.
"Horcruxes, we need to find the last of them, and destroy them." She muttered. He raised an eyebrow.
"You've found some?"
"Yes."
"Fascinating."
"Stop this stopit right now!"
"I could-"
"Yes!"
"But then I'd have to let the Weasel know why you broke up with him." He finished. She looked like she was about to cry. Draco instantly felt guilty, but he couldn't stop. His life was on the line.
"And there I was a for a second thinking Draco Malfoy had a heart. I guess I was wrong." She muttered.
"You where wrong then, mudblood." His voice cracked when he said that "I don't care about you, your scum in the eyes of us purebloods. Who would even care for filth like you. No wonder Potty and Weasel ditched you. Me being 'nice' was just an act for the Dark Lord, Granger you better get used to this." He smirked, but inside his heart was shattered. Hermione looked as if her whole life had been a lie.
"I should've known better." She whispered, before running off. Draco watched her. When she was out of sight he fell to his knees.
'Draco Malfoy what have you done?' He asked himself.
Hermione ran to the library where she knew she would find Rose and Carter Anne. She was right. The two girls where sitting at a table studying. Hermione ran up to them, tear streaming down her face, all the while.
"Woah Hermione, are you okay?" Carter Anne asked her. Hermione shook her head.
"Can we talk some place more private?" She pleaded. Rose nodded.
"Lets go to your room, sound good?" Hermione nodded weakly.
The two girls bright their friend to her room. They sat her down on the bed, to make her more comfortable.
"Hermione you feeling better?" Carter Anne asked.
"I guess."
"Do you need to talk about it?" The Head Girl nodded. Spilling out the whole story.
On how she was looking forward to being Head Girl, then being upset when Malfoy was her partner. To where they made the truth potion. Then she explained how her old friends ditched her, and thatnight on how Malfoy ended up comforting her. Then when she met them and how her life ended up turning around, and she was happy again. Then she ended on that evening on how she figured out he had been manipulating her.
When her story finished her friends where speechless. They began to whisper, and then Rose left the room.
"Where is she going?" Hermione asked. Carter looked at her, a happy glint in her eye.
"Now that's a surprise. But I'll tell you what we're going to do. We're going to have a 'Cheer Hermione Up Because She's Been Having a Really Crappy Week Party'" She announced. Hermione stared at her wide eyed.
"Wha- what?"
"Basically the best sleepover you will ever attend in you life time." She explained. Carter Anne got up, and Dragged Hermione off the bed.
"Alright now girl. I love what you're wearing, but for a the best sleepover in the wizarding world eh not so much. So get you're best pajamas on now!" She commanded. Shoving Hermione in her closest. Hermione couldn't help but giggle. What was Carter Anne getting herself into now?
When Hermione stepped out Rose and Carter Anne where there in their own pajamas.
"Alrighty then, lets go!" Rose exclaimed.
"Where?" Hermione questioned. Carter Anne wiggled her eyebrows mysteriously.
"You'll see!" She sang.
After a bit of walking the girls ended up in the Room of Requirements. But when Hermione stepped inside it looked so much different then the last time. There was a big bed, but pillows surrounding it. A TV set up, with what looked like a surround sound system. Several muggle DVDs stalked up high. A lot of both muggle and wizarding magazines scattered about the room.
There was also food galore near the TV set. Pizza, ice cream, popcorn, candy, all of Hermione's favorites too.
"You guys didn't have to do this." She gaped awe-struck. They grinned.
"Oh yes we did." They chirped.
"Hermione you're one of us now. we stick together no matter what the circumstances are. Got it?" Rose said. Hermione nodded. She hugged them both.
"So what should we do?" The surprised girl asked. Carter Anne strutted to the TV.
"Well first we'll eat all this food till you puke, then I feel like we should watch all these DVDs, we have the wide variety of sappy love story, or sappy love story with cheesy humor. Then we'll sit and gossip, while eating even more food." Carter Anne announced. Hermione laughed.
"Sounds bloody brilliant." She replied, eyeing the pizzas.
After the movies it was gossip time.
"Alright Hermione, don't yell at us but Carter here has some ideas about your problem." Rose whispered. Hermione looked at the blonde and nodded.
"Well tell me."
"Well there's no easy way to say this. But Hermione, I think Draco fancies you."
"What!" She screeched.
"Well after hearing your story it made me think. The Dark Lord is behind this all. Draco's father is probably forcing him to do this. The Draco that helped you through that night terror was the real him. The Draco who yelled at you a while ago, that Draco is fighting for his free will. He's being dragged into his fate, and he doesn't have a choice."
"Of course he has a choice. Everyone has a choice."
"Your right, his choice is join the Death Eater or die." Carter Anne explained. Hermione was appalled. She never thought of it that way.
"Hermione my ancestors where associated with that. Its messy business, once you're in its nearly impossible to get out." Rose added. Carter Anne nodded.
"It must be even harder for him. He's only seventeen." She added. Hermione's insides had gone numb.
She never before felt so sorry for someone.
Draco on the other hand was in his room writing his return letter. This letter had kept him up all night.
