Chapter 7

Disclaimer: I don't own any of this stuff. If I did, I'd have a lot more than 50 bucks.

"DEAD? How can Malfoy be dead?" Hermione asked. "Potter hit him so hard, the rocks made a crack in his head." Darlene answered. Hermione stormed off, furious.

She whipped her time-turner out and was about to turn it, when Darlene stormed in. "If you're going back in time, so am I." Darlene grinned, "By the way, I found out a cheat on that... thing.". "What?". Darlene walked up to Hermione, strung the time-turner around her neck and hit the string 4 times. "Not only will we go back in time, but we can enter the body of our past selves.

Darlene was right. When the time-turner stopped vibrating, they found themselves running onto the landing. Darlene looked around mysteriously. Finally, she pulled out a video camera. She stood to the side of Harry and Draco. "Ah-ha!" she exclaimed. "Hermione! Come look at this!"

"Look." Darlene ordered. Hermione peered at the screen. She was watching a replay of Harry's punch. Or more like Harry's miss. Harry's fist went right in front of Draco's face but never touched it. He simply fell because he was startled. Hermione took out her time turner again and did the same cheat Darlene showed her.

When she got to the small landing, she immediately tackled Harry. "I hate you Harry Potter!" Hermione cried. "Hermione!" Harry called after her.

The next day, Hermione sat with Darlene at Potions, Hannah Abott in Divination and Ginny in DADA. At dinner, Harry asked Hermione what her problem was. "You, Harry Potter. You self-centered, foul, goody-two-shoes , BRAT!" Hermione insulted. Harry looked like he was going to cry. Nobody had ever called him brat. (wonder how that happened() "Ooh wow! Here comes the famous Harry Potter. 'Can I touch your scar Harry?' 'Wow, he's so strong!'" Hermione drawled. Draco looked at Hermione. 'Did she just tell Potter off?' he thought. It was the day before the ball, and all the girls were excited. Even Hermione. "Ginny? What are we going to do with my hair?" Hermione asked. "Well, I was thinking something like this..." Ginny said waving her wand. When Hermione looked in the mirror, her hair was straight, long and pulled into a bun. The most remarkable thing was, her hair was black. "I love it! Hermione squealed. She hugged Ginny and returned her hair to the normal frizzinness.

That afternoon, guys were asking girls to be their dates, girls were declining and immediately agreeing... "Hermione? Do you want to go to the ball with me?" Ron asked, shyly. "Sorry, Ron. I already have a date." Hermione declined. "Who?" "Malfoy. Don't look at me like it was my idea, oh heavens no! I was forced to. Like Cho Chang. She had to go with the Head boy of Hufflepuff (or whatever it is)." Hermione replied. "Oh.". Ron looked fairly sad.

The day of the ball... Everybody walked into the Great Hall. "I love balls!" Pansy exclaimed.

Hermione looked around nervously, for Draco. She headed outside. He was standing across from Darlene, leaning against a tree. A pair of red eyes appeared. 'A werewolf!' Hermione thought. Draco's heart began to pound. The werewolf crept closer and closer towards him. Suddenly, Hermione heard a loud "BACK!". Darlene stepped in front of her brother, with her hands in front of her face. The werewolf whimpered and ran away.

"So how did you know you had power over animals?" Hermione questioned Darlene. "Well.."

FLASHBACK First day at Hogwarts, Care of Magical Creatures "This here is a hippogriff. 'Tis name is Buckbeak." Hagrid explained. As usual, some stupid Slytherin got out of hand and made Buckbeak furious. Darlene jumped out of the crowd and ran up to Buckbeak. She calmed Buckbeak down by patting his beak. Shame she wasn't there in Hermiones third year eh?

Back to whatever time it was "Wow." Hermione looked very surprised. "And Draco. He has the power of all elements." Darlene added. Draco nodded and put his hand on the tree. A vine went up his arm like a snake. Next he pointed to the great Lake. The wavy water became calm. Finally he combined air and fire. He used fire to light a fireplace inside the great hall, and air to make on go out. 'Oh! And that isn't the best part!" Darlene said. She swaggered onto her feet. She mumbled something Hermione couldn't understand. Darlene changed from her long, blue dress to a short black dress. "That is the best part." Darlene concluded, "C'mon. We're gonna miss the dance.". "Malfoy! You coming?" Hermione called behind her. Draco rolled his eyes and strolled inside.

"This ball is a true success, Professor." Dumbeldore whispered to McGonagall. "This last song will be for only the Head Boys and Head Girls." Dumbeldore explained. Everyone headed to their table. Much to Hermiones relief, a rock song was playing. She didn't know it was Fat Lip by Sum 41. When they got to the slow "Don't count on me, to let you know when." Everybody stopped dancing, and turned towards the band. They shrugged. Hermione and Draco left. Harry and Ron followed Hermione, while Darlene headed after Draco. "Why did you leave like that?" Ron asked Hermione. "It was something that I remember Darlene saying to me. "You don't know what it's like to be a pureblood. To have your father a death eater! To know Lord Voldermort personally.". I was mumbling it to myself, and apparently Draco heard it. He knew that his sister had told me that, so he went to the Slytherin common room, knowing Darlene would follow." Hermione started. Then she gasped. A bloody, scratched, bruised Darlene swaggered into the room. "I happened to run into a troll." Darlene said before falling. Hermione fainted. She was caught by a blonde-haired Slytherin. He smirked. "Trolls aren't animals." Draco grinned, "She'll be all right. We just wanted to see how you would react to Darlene's injury.". Hermione pretended to hit Draco with a book, though she was laughing.
