Gah took me long enough but here it is..

Chapter Thirty Four: Three Little Death-Eaters

The small group was heading back to the room of requirement talking about where the Hufflepuff cup would be.

“ So your my brothers girlfriend?” Courtney asked Hermione through all the chatter.

“ No, just friends.” I quickly intervened hating myself for doing so as I said it.

“ Oh, sorry. I just jumped to conclusions.” Courtney sounded a little less happy, but continued to watch Hermione and I.

“ Where to you suppose the Hufflepuff cup is?” Hermione said to me.

“ Um..” Hermione had wrenched me from my thoughts of when I kissed her at the Yule Ball.” I remember Bellatrix always talking about a great honor being bestowed on her and something about the Black Vault and gold cups.” I answered after a minute of thought.

“ If only we had a way of getting in there.” Hermione sighed.

“ I'm a Black by blood.” I stated. Hermione looked surprised at me then threw her arms around my neck and kissed me full on the mouth.” Woah. Hermione calm down.” I gasped for breath after we broke apart.

“ Has anyone called you a genius recently?” Hermione ignored what I said.

“ Not recently no, but um.. Could you take your arms off of me, people are staring.” I muttered, Hermione immediately went red and let go.

“ Just friends?” Courtney whispered to me. I did my best not to elbow her, I heard Hermione and Ginny arguing heatedly off in the distance. Suddenly I felt my left forearm burn up I grabbed it in pain, I watched Snape and Courtney do the exact same thing when I did.

“ What!” All three of our voices echoed together.

“ Your a death eater Court?” I gaped at her, no not all of my family!

“ Your a.. Yea duh, but you!” Courtney accused.

“ So are our mum and dad.” I snorted.

“ Kyle wasn't lying, I can't believe it, Kyle was telling the truth and I hated him for it.” Courtney started sobbing.

“ Who's Kyle?” Ron demanded,

ookay this officially strange. I tried to not imagine what Ron could mean by that.” Kyle Reed, at least I think that's who she's talking about, he's a death eater.” I explained.

“ I take you knew him.” Courtney sighed as she slumped to the floor dissolving in tears.

“ That Slytherin scum!” Ron looked furious.

“ Watch you your calling scum, he was my best friend.” Courtney stopped angrily at Ron who immediately apologized. Wait a second is it just me or does Ron Weasley like my sister?!?

“ Don't you have to go to your death eater meeting?” Harry asked.

“ No. If we go we fight for Voldemort.” Courtney responded.

“ Oh.” By the look on Harry's face he decided it might be best if shut up.

“ So um.. Should we start to defend Hogwarts or what?” Ginny said in to the awkward silence, there were several agreements to defending Hogwarts and soon everyone was set off in different area's to go work on the defenses. Hermione and I where told to go work on the west wall.

“ Hermione, I need your advice.” A sudden brainstorm idea came upon me as we finished working on the wall.

“ Okay.. What for?” Hermione looked up as she ended her spell.

“ There's this girl I really like, but I don't think she likes me.. What do I do?” I failed to have a innocent look on my face.

“ Well, all you really can do is tell her and hope she likes you.” For some odd reason it looked like she was about to cry.” I've.. I forgot something.. I mean I got to go do something.” Hermione mumbled before dashing off. Quickly I followed her. And found her in a empty class room crying her heart out.

“ Hermione, what's wrong, what did I do?” I was definitely worried. Hermione started to cry harder.

“ Nothings wrong.” Hermione's tears then turned in to a deranged laugh.

“ Hermione.. What is wrong?” I repeated.

“ I said...” Hermione started crying again.

“ Okay, find.. I'm going to take your advice. Hermione I love you.” I held her face in my hands forcing her to look at me. This shocked her out of her crying.

“ But.. But..” Was all Hermione was able to say.

“ I know you probably hate me.” I mentally cursed myself for taking her advice. She hates me. I thought brutally.

“ I'm the one that's supposed to tell you that.. Draco I love you! I'm a mudblood you can't love me.”Hermione finally manged to speak. I didn't bother to tell her not to call herself a mudblood, I leaned in and pulled her in to a kiss.” I think we should get back to work.” Hermione mumbled after we broke apart.

“ We already finished silly, wait. Hermione if we make it alive out of this will you marry me?” I helped her off the floor as I said this but stayed in a kneeling position.

“ Draco, we don't even know if we will make it out alive.” Hermione looked a little downcast as she replied.

“ Just answer me please.” I needed to know this.

“ Yes.. Of course I will marry you.” Hermione let a smile on to her face. Happily I stepped up to her and slipped a ring on her finger.” Come on let's go to the Great Hall.”

“ Why?” I was definitely engaged to the strangest girl ever.

“ Can I tell everyone?” Hermione then asked.

“ I guess.” That confirmed it. Hermione grinned at me then ran up to where Dumbledore used to make his announcements.

“ Hi all.” Everyone (which was a lot) in the Great hall turned to face her.” I have something to announce.” This got all there attention.” Draco Malfoy and I are engaged.” There was silence that greeted this at first.

“ AWESOME!” Ron was the first to regain his voice and his outburst shocked me.

“ Yay! Finally.” Ginny joined, soon everyone was congratulating her and clapping.

“ Well that was a little strange.” Hermione whispered to me as we sat together at the Gryffindor table.

“ Your telling me.. Now I have something I need to do, can I go?” I laughed.

“ Sure, but stay safe.” Hermione kissed me lightly before heading over to Harry, Ginny, Ron and Courtney. She was happy, for now...

Poor Hermione.
Great chappie!

AWWWW I love them, they're great PAMS

Cait

Here's the first part

Chapter Thirty Five: Death Avenged: Part One

Groaning I dragged myself off the ground. I rolled my head around cracking my neck.

“ Wow that felt good.” I murmured to myself.

“ It should have, now do you want a back massage or what? Get up.” Courtney snapped.

“ A back mass- Oh never mind that was sarcasm.” I rolled my eyes.

“ Yea it was.. Now let's go before you knock yourself over again Ron.” Courtney laughed a little before taking my hand and leading back to the great hall just in time for us to hear Hermione announce that she and Draco Malfoy where engaged.

“ AWESOME!” If Hermione's happy with him she can be happy with him.. I on the other hand have gotten over her and like Courtney. Not that I'd tell anyone that. At least not yet. Then Ginny yelled out happily. I wandered aimlessly and found myself near Harry.

“ Hey mate.” I plopped myself down on the bench next to him.” You do know your sitting at the Slytherin table?”

“ Am I? Oh.. I am.. Sorry, wasn't paying attention.. Why is everyone clapping?” Harry looked up surprised.

“ Woah! You've got to be kidding me.. Hermione just said that she's engaged to Malfoy.” I noticed that Pansy Parkinson was glaring at us from the other end of the table.

“ WHAT!” Harry exploded.” No. Way!”

“ Yes way. Calm down idiot.” Ginny sat herself down in his lap then kissed him lightly.

“ Seriously you two, get a room.” I rolled my eyes.

“ All I did was-Hey Hermione, so how exactly did it happen?” Ginny grinned at Hermione who sat down next to me.

“ Well uh.. I was like.. Crying and uh.. Yeaa. Before that he wanted my advice on how to tell a girl he liked.. How was I supposed to know he intended me?!” Hermione chuckled.

“ That's a little fast..” Harry stared at her dumbfounded.

“ So? We both love each other. So- What's wrong Pansy?” Hermione did her best to have a fake alarmed look on her face.

“ You.. Your my problem.. What I want to know his how Draco Malfoy a blood purist fell in love with a muggleborn.” Pansy didn't sound snide or snobby, more... Curious?

“ Uh.. I'm asking myself the exact same thing.” Hermione was surprised at Pansy's tone. The two of them just stared at each other in silence. I never really noticed how strange girls could be till today, at least I never knew they could be this hard to understand.

“ Well.. Um.. Congratulations I guess, I hope it works out for you.” Pansy finally manged to say something then she walked off in the other direction.

“ That was strange.” Ginny commented airily.

“ Yea... Pansy Parkinson said that!? I must say, she's growing up.” I laughed.

“ Ron! You don't like her do you?” Harry turned to look at me, a horrified expression his face.

“ WOAH MATE! That's the scariest thing I've ever heard. I.. Like someone else.” I matched the horrified expression.

“ Thank you.. I was a little scared myself.” Hermione let out a sigh.

“ Your one to talk Mione, your engaged to Ferret.” Ginny pointed out.

“ Ahem.” Hermione coughed slightly and glared at Ginny.

“ Draco I mean.” Ginny corrected herself with a smirk.

“ And I'd like you to keep that in mind.. He's not Ferret.” Hermione's glare turned in to a faint smile...

I love Hermione and Ginny in this chappie!

Awww!
How cute!
Ron likes Courtney.

Sorry for taking so long, rl things like dance have been swamping me down.. (I do it 5 days a week)

so here is the next part.. There will be at least 3..

Now here's from someones unexpected PoV

Chapter Thirty Five: Death Avenged: Part Two

I sipped my earl grey tea slightly apprehensive. Waiting for what would happen, waiting for what he would say, yell, shout.. If only he just shouted at me! SAID SOMETHING! The silence between the two of us almost made me shout out in annoyance, fear, expectation. The silence was my punishment.. Or he would.. Would he just talk to me? Unwanted tears threatened to start leaking down my face. Dry, empty words started forming in my mouth, but my scorched tongue refused to speak them. I felt a cold, wet tear roll down my cheek in to my tea, it splashed me slightly, but I didn't care. I was waiting for the man I faced to talk to me.. Utter a word, make a sound, something before I went insanely mad.

“ Why did you do it?” His tone was calm, void of accusation, anger, fear, depression, disappointment. Nothing came in to my mind of what to respond, I didn't even know myself why I did it.. What could I say to him. I just stared in to his grey eyes, wanting them to show accusation and hate directed towards me. I wanted him to ask me something else, to start laughing, congratulate me, yell at me, again a silence reigned. I finally mustered up the little courage I had, I finally decided that Draco for once in his life deserved the truth. The truth I had kept so carefully from him.

“ Draco... I..” What did I?” I didn't..” But I did. I DID!” I did. I don't know!” I broke out sobbing and the expensive china cup in my hand fell and shattered I paid no attention to the fact that my hands were slightly burned and started crying harder.” I killed him because I hated him! I didn't want to do anything he told me to do! I didn't want to face the truth that he was the man I married, I didn't want to face the fact that he was your father. Your blood relative. I didn't want to face the fact that I married a death eater, that I became one myself, that I served lord Voldemort, that I.. That I was who I was! I didn't want to face the fact that I was a Malfoy or a Black, or anything.” My anguish showed so clearly through my tears that I surprised myself. And probably surprised my son.

“ Mother.. You. You did the right thing, Lucius was a tyrant and a death eater. He was not family.. At least he is nothing more then someone I share blood with ashamedly. Lucius Malfoy deserved death, my only regret is that I didn't kill him.” Draco let out a small laugh.” Come back to Hogwarts with me. You can be there happily, Harry will make sure no harm comes to you.. You can come meet the young woman I'm engaged to, you can meet Court-Scorpia again.” Draco's tone suddenly turned far more serious. And his proposal sounded far more welcoming and happy then I had expected, I should not have put it past him to apologize for what I did.. I do recall him not liking Lucius much.

“ Come back to Hogwarts with you, Harry Potter? Engaged, Draco what have you not told me.. But Scorpia.. I thought she was killed with the With girl.. I never knew she was alive! I.. I regret for doing what I did, I must talk with Scorpia, apologize and hope that she can find it in her heart to forgive me for lying to her, for letting her believe that she would return home even though I knew she wouldn't.. I just couldn't let her.. Lucius, I couldn't let him know that Scorpia existed. But.. Draco, I know that you may not think this wise.. But I am renouncing the Malfoy name, I will now be known as Narcissa Black.” I had made my decision and I will keep it.

“ Actually, that's one of the best things I've heard in my life.. I might even do that also.. I don't want to carry on the Malfoy line.. Lucius will never know what's hit him. Unless he has another unknown son the Malfoy line will end with him.. I'm not Malfoy.. At least I won't be.” Draco laughed.” Here, let me heal your burns.” With a silent wave of his wand they where gone. I must admit, Hogwarts has taught him something.” Let's go to Hogwarts, you may not receive a warm welcoming when you arrive though. There is something I have to do at Gringotts first mother. I have to access the Black family vault and remove something from it.. Would you care to accompany me?”

“ I would love to accompany you, something I rarely did, or do.. Because of Lucius.. And you seemed to have avoided my question as to who you are engaged to.” I stated with a small laugh. Draco didn't respond at first, he took my hand and apparated us Diagon Alley, right in front of the large, enormous Gringotts Bank. It's white and gold marble pillars glistening in the sunlight, it never has ceased to amaze me when ever I go there, most of the time I was in such a hurry to bother to look at it though. Together, my son and I entered the bank that was occupied by wizards and goblins alike.

“ You wouldn't believe me if I told you who I am engaged to, so you'll have to meet her in person.. You may not agree with my choice though.” Draco finally answered my statement, or question. For that is what it was at first.” We would like to access the Black family vault. My mother Narcissa Black and I, Draco Black.” Draco sounded rather grown up as he approached one of the goblins. Oh wait! He is grown up.. I must admit I am rather slow on things sometimes. The goblin looked at us suspiciously then nodded curtly handed us a key then called for another goblin to take us to the vault. After arriving there Draco entered and exited not long after carrying a small golden cup decorated with a.. Badger.

“ Is that Helga Hufflepuff's goblet?” I almost shrieked in surprise, as far as I knew my family was not in any way related to Helga Hufflepuff, and I don't even remember it being in the vault before, but then again, I hadn't entered the vault for several years. But Bellatrix and Andromeda were the only ones.. Bellatrix must have gotten as a gift from our.. No HER master.

“ Yes it is, but here is not the time.. Harry Potter needs it and I must deliver it to him, I can.. If possible explain later, I'm not even sure what exactly it is but I do know that Harry needs it in order to defeat Voldemort.” Draco responded tartly as we re-entered the cart and were taken up to the ground level. We exited it and the bank in silence. After arriving in Diagon Alley he apparated us right out side the wards of Hogwarts, so that meant we were somewhere in Hogsmeade. Quickly we headed up towards the castle. The castle that so boldly bore the dark mark above it....
