~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was getting close to Halloween, and Hermione had managed to avoid Ron as much as possible since the night in the hall. For the first time sicne arriving there in the trio's first year, Hogwarts had decided to throw an all out Samhain bash. There would be tricks, treats and a few surprises in store for Hermione. Draco had been thinking of her a lot since that night, too. He was even toying with the idea of asking her to the Samhain dance. He decided he would gather his courage and ask her after potions class. He sat at his desk, somewhat nervously fidgeting. "Today, in favor of this ridiculous holiday," A monotone voice started. "I am going to have you brew a concoction that will make your enemies see your worst fears. For this, I will allow pairs. You have three hours, starting now." Snape turned and walked to his desk, sitting behind it, glaring out at the class. The students rushed to pair up. Hermione saw Ron approaching, and she was not about to give him the satisfaction of an easy O.
She quickly grabbed the closest person, and upon seeing the look of disgust that crossed Ron's face, Hermione knew immediately who she had grabbed. Draco had even been surprised she had latched on to him, and his arrogance once again got the best of him. "Can't keep away from me, can you, Granger?" He smirked. She smirked back at him, really just trying to get Ron riled up, to show him what it was that he lost. She placed her hand on Draco's chest, "Oh you know I simply can't, Draco." Her voice was a silky purr when she said his name, causing him to internally shiver in delight. Ron ended up storming back to Harry, furious, but Harry already had another partner. Draco raised an eyebrow to Hermione after Ron left, and the curly haired girl before him shrugged, "Lets get to work."
Not one to argue, Draco set to it and the two of them worked together for the next three hours measuring, mixing, chopping or crushing ingrediants. When they added the final one, the potion in the culdron hissed and turned an inky black color. "Do you think we did it right?" Hermione asked as she looked quizzically at the potion, flipping between pages of the recipie. "There's only one way to tell." Draco shrugged, leaning in and taking a large wiff of the potion. His eyes became blank as he stared forward.

The room slowly stopped spinning. Where was he? He looked around..in his room at Malfoy Mannor. Draco could hear yelling downstairs coming from his father and a famillar sobbing of a female he couldn't quite place. His mother, perhaps? His fists balled in rage. He descended a grand staircase into an even larger and more grand ballroom. Lucius Malfoy turned to green his son, a snarl set upon his features, wand raised. "How dare you bring this filth into my house, Draco. I taught you better!" His voice roared. Draco flinched at the prospect that he had disappointed and failed his father in some way, something he had always been afraid of. "Father," his voice quivered. "Surely it can not be as bad as--" but he stopped in his tracks as he saw exactly what- or rather, who- his father was angry with. Hermione was laying on the floor, her night gown half torn, blood running down her face and arms. She was trying to quiet her sobbing from enduring some form of torture. "Draco!" She whined, sitting up and reaching for him, shaking. "Let this be a lesson learned my son, not to get involved with the scum that is mudblood. Avada Kedavra!" He had turned his wand on the witch on the floor. A green light filled the room, clouding Draco's vision.

As the affects of the potion began to wear off, Draco was gripping the edge of the table, his face more pale than usual and his knuckles had turned more white than that. His silver eyes glossy with tears that threatened to fall at any moment. He could hear Hemionie repeating his name over and over as reality set back in. A vision..it had all been a vision from that cursed potion. His sight refocused, and he looked at the witch beside him. Hermione looked positively worried about him, though once his head turned, her whole body seemed to relax. She looked at him questioningly, but Draco hurriedly ladled some of the potion into a vial and corked it. "It works," he said as he hastily ran the potion up to the desk, dropping it off. He then grabbed his bag on the way back and retreated from the room. "Draco..!" Hermione called, on his tail.
