Chapter 14 – Love overcomes Hate

Ron stood abruptly from the Gryffindor table, he stood with such force he managed to spill his pumpkin juice down a very put out Lavender, who had been thrown from his lap in the process.

“How can you let the slimy git touch you, Hermione!” he shouted.

The hall remained silent waiting for Hermione to reply, when she didn’t Ron got even angrier.

“Harry, Mate. Why the hell, are you standing there letting a death eater touch your best friend, have you gone bloody mad!” He snapped.

Harry shook his head “Leave it, Ron.” He warned, his tone steady, his darkened green eyes meeting Ron’s raging blue ones.

“No, I won’t bloody leave, it. She comes in here dressed like some, street walking hussy and allows two, death eater snakes to paw at her like an animal!”

Hermione could feel the tear starting to fill her eyes, her vision becoming blurry as the tears stuck to her long dark eyelashes.

In the process of Ron shouting at her, Draco had placed his hand on the small of her back and had pulled her body closer to his, his body taking a protective stance as if trying to protect her from Ron’s words.

Ron was fuming, his eyes were slatted looking at Hermione, his anger turned to disgust “You look like a whore.” He spat venomously.

“Don’t you dare say another word to her Weasley or I swear I will not be held accountable for my actions!” Draco shouted pulling his wand from his trouser pocket.

Ron laughed “Get over it Ferret, I can say whatever I want.” Ron was now walking away from the table and was approaching the couple who still remained slightly embracing each other.

Ron withdrew his wand as the rest of the hall looked on anticipation, shuffling was heard as three people moved from their seats and ran to the couple.

Ginny looked up at her brother with eyes filled with hostility, Harry stood to her left, whilst Blaise has taken the spot on her right. Hermione had been pushed to the back of the group still cowering against Draco’s solid body; he stood slightly in front of her, wand still drawn on the angry red head in front of him.

“You’ve got to be fucking kidding me!” Ron spat. “What the hell Ginny? Harry? You’re actually going to stand by and let this happen. You’re going to let her be their play thing, be nothing but filth.”

“She’s nobodies play thing.” Blaise replied calmly his voice betraying the pent up anger.

Ron laughed bitterly “Yeah right, dressed like that she looks good for one thing only. If she was that desperate for some ‘fun’ I’d have been more than willing but now she looks despicable.” The shocked gasps around the hall was all that could be heard except for Hermione’s soft sobs that she was trying to contain in Draco’s chest.

“That’s enough, Mr Weasley.” Professor Dumbledore said finally standing from his throne on the head table.

“No, it’s not. She needs to know how cheap she looks like that; she could have had any guy in the room, the pick of them. But no she decides to dress and act like a slag and allows those two to run their hand over her. You’re not the girl I thought you were, Hermione. And if this is who you are, then I don’t want anything to do with you, you make me sick.” His face contorted in disgust.

Hermione had stopped crying, her initial upset now turned to anger, Draco was standing beside her fighting so hard with his self-control to not to do anything stupid. She shifted her body from his and began to walk to the front of the small group. Pushing past Harry and Ginny revealing her mascara stained face.

“Happy now are you?” Ron asked Hermione sarcastically “You’ve cheapened yourself and for what a quick fumble?”

Hermione flexed her hand which had been screwed up in a fist.

“Ronald Bilius Weasley! How dare you speak to me like that, how dare you call me a whore, you have no right to say those things!” She shouted at him, anger glittering in her darkened amber eyes.

“I’m your friend, Hermione. I’m supposed to look after you, honestly girl, look at yourself.” Ron motioned to Hermione’s shortened uniform. “You’re not the girl I love if that’s how you dress” he said looking at the floor, his voice straining with emotion, though he only said it softly the entire hall heard his words clear as day. “You could have had me, Mione. How could you do this to me?” this time Ron’s voice sounded hurt, as if he were the victim in this.

Hermione’s eyes widened she’d had enough, “You know what, Ron. I’ve had enough of this; I’ve pined over you for the last year, for you to dump me, for the first dumb bint that puts out. If anyone is despicable here it’s you. Before you start calling me a whore, I suggest you look at the girl you’ve been screwing for the last few days.” Hermione breathed deeply, but continued “How dare you tell me how I should act, who I should see and most of all who can touch me. I am not your possession, I am supposed to be your friend, but if that is how you treat me then consider us done.”

Hermione had begun to sob, her pain surfacing and pushing her over the edge; it brought back all too many memories of when she had first seen Ron and Lavender.

Blaise and Draco moved forward to comfort her Blaise was holding her hand and squeezing it reassuringly, whilst Draco had placed his hand on her hip and embraced her once again.

A low growl was heard “I SAID DON’T FUCKING TOUCH HER!” Ron said lunging at Draco.

Draco quickly spun Hermione a round, spinning her into the arms of Harry, Draco narrowly managed to duck out of the way of Ron’s swinging fist, Draco’s own fist connecting with Ron’s nose. Just as Ron went to take another swing he felt his entire body become rigid, his entire body frozen in position.

“Don’t you EVER raise your fist near her again; otherwise I swear you won’t live to see another day!” Draco bit out aggressively.

Draco having only just noticed the abrupt stop of the boy, proceeded to look behind Weasley to see Professor Snape with his wand drawn pointed at the red head.

Snape walked up to the group his black robes billowing around him until he stood in front of the boy.

“When the headmaster says to cease your behaviour Mr Weasley it is unwise to disobey him” he said in his oily voice.

“Your display is pitiful to say the very least” he said sneering “It’s tragic that you’ve just confessed to Miss Granger that you love her, more so because you choose only to divulge this information when somebody else has her, your pathetic, if you truly loved her you wouldn’t have made this ridiculous display of debauchery.”

“Severus, unbind the boy.” Spoke the headmaster, “I believe I must intervene at this point in time, there are many questions which must be answered, some of which only I can answer. Therefore since this school has now been made aware of a certain arrangement, I believe it is only suitable that we deal with this situation now. There is no time like the present as they say.”

Severus rolled his eyes at the doddering old fool; he silently unbound the boy and returned to the head table.

“Now I must ask that everything that is discussed in Hogwarts must stay at Hogwarts, as this information is of the upmost importance, to everyone. Due to the necessity of the situation classes are cancelled for the day, when you are dismissed you are to return to your houses to reflect on the information you are about to learn.”

“If you would like to sit down.” He said pensively to the small crowd of students at the door motioning them to a table.

The students took a seat at the end of the Gryffindor table, Hermione sat in between Ginny and Harry whilst Draco, Blaise and Ron sat opposite them.

“As you have all just witnessed, Miss Granger, Mr Zabini and Mr Malfoy are in a very unusual position, for all of you who are wondering none of them are under the influence of a lust potion or the imperious curse, it is my job to point out to you all that Mr Malfoy, Miss Granger and Mr Zabini are in fact soul mates.” The students began to mutter and whisper amongst themselves.

A banging on the table silenced the hall.

“This is a very rare occurrence I assure you; It is a sad truth that not everyone will have a true soul mate, but this does not mean that one cannot find unconditional love and be irrevocably happy, it is also realistic to point out that many individuals will never meet there soul mate, even if they have one.” Here Dumbledore sighed.

“However, Miss Granger here is a rare exception, she not only has one soul mate but two, and she has been considerably lucky to have met both of them. However it is unfortunate that a person is only destined to have one soul mate and therefore Miss Granger must choose between her respective partners, Mr Malfoy and Mr Zabini. This is entirely her choice and I must stress the importance of her own choice, and nobody can sway this choice.”

“Now this brings me to my announcement to you all, the dear students of Hogwarts. As many of you are aware, there is the ever impending threat from Voldemort and the death eaters who follow him.”

“Sir…?” Harry stood up needing his question answering, if it wasn’t, it would burn away at him even more.

“Yes Harry?” Dumbledore replied.

“We all know about them, the death eaters I mean, but…” he chose his words carefully looking around at his peers “considering that there are people within the school who are within those ranks, is this not an inappropriate speech?” he asked.

Dumbledore smiled “Harry. My dear boy, you have nothing to fear, this is the announcement I wish to make to you all.” His sparkling blue eyes surveyed the room of students. “I can confirm that no student in this school’s ally’s lie with Tom Riddle, and that everyone is fighting for the side of the light.”

“But sir…” Harry interrupted again. “That can’t be true when half the Slytherin house bares his mark.”

Everyone within the Slytherin house recoiled at this; it was true that many of them did bare the mark, each of them haunted with the atrocities associated with it.

Dumbledore stroked his long white beard as he answered “Harry, you make a valid point but as I said you have nothing to fear. I speak to all of you as I say this, amongst you, you will know of students with whom you suspect sides with Voldemort…” The hall erupted into whispering again as student conferred with each other, relaying gossip about who they thought were death eaters and whom were not.

Another loud bang silenced the hall once again.

“I assure you all that no student in this school, sides with the dark. The students with whom bare the mark are spies for the order of the phoenix. They have seen some of the darkest things that many of you couldn’t begin to imagine, things that even a dreamless sleep potion cannot stop from filtering into their subconscious.” He said remorsefully.

“You are ALL equals, we fight this war together. Many of the students here are turning their back on their families rejecting the ideals of the pureblood society. I ask you all to support each other, Hogwarts is your family now, this bickering and fighting will not aid this war. It is the love of your friends and peers that will guide us. Mr Malfoy, Miss Granger and Mr Zabini are examples of this.”

Dumbledore stared down at all the student’s faces that looked at him with hope.

“Of the many contradictions that exist in the world, the contrast between love and hate is perhaps the starkest. It is one that helps us value true love while understanding the ramifications of hatred. And so I leave you with these parting words my dear children spoken by a muggle named Harry Emerson-Fosdick:

…Bitterness imprisons life; love releases it. Bitterness paralyzes life; love empowers it. Bitterness sours life; love sweetens it. Bitterness sickens life; love heals it. Bitterness blinds life; love anoints its eyes. We are nothing without love; this is something Voldemort will never have.”

With a wave of his hand the doors to the grand hall swung open and the students were dismissed.
