Chapter 1: Under Wraps

Draco Malfoy stared into the once merry, blue eyes, which belonged to Albus Dumbledore. Dumbledore broke the silence by clearing his throat before speaking.

"So that is what happened," Dumbledore stated though it was more like a question.

Draco nodded solemnly. He was afraid that if he spoke then the truth would kill him.

"Now you have all of Lord Voldemort's powers, am I correct," Dumbledore asked.

Draco gulped and nodded.

"So this is the famous Demeter," Dumbledore said gesturing towards a white, brown spotted cat sitting in Draco's lap.

Draco nodded, unconsciously petting the cat with his ringed hand.

Dumbledore frowned. "I ask that you keep this under wraps. It's best that Miss Granger finds out on her own. The school won't be told of these past events," Dumbledore explained.

Draco nodded numbly for the fourth time before picking up the cat and exiting. Dumbledore sighed and rubbed his eyes from beneath his specs.

"This was not supposed to happen," Dumbledore mumbled before retreating to his bedroom.
~*~ Hermione Granger's eyelids fluttered open. Chocolate brown eyes slowly adjusted to the bright lighting in. the Hospital Wing? She sat up quickly, though she regretted the action after receiving a splitting headache. Hermione groaned and fell back onto her overstuffed pillow.

Madam Promphrey (A/N: Did I spell her name right?) bustled over to Hermione.

"Miss Granger! Awake already? Drink Up!" the woman said this all quickly before thrusting a cup of thin, green liquid into Hermione's hand.

Hermione gulped it down without any protest. The pain in her aching body suddenly vanished. She sighed gratefully but frowned as the staff came in.

"What happened?" she asked as she slowly sat up.

The teachers exchanged nervous glances, which made Hermione's frown increase.

Professor McGonagall hesitated before answering. "Y-you were on the f-field during one of the Quidditch practices, and you were h-hit by a b-bludger," she stuttered.

Hermione frowned as a small memory flooded back to her.

~*~Flashback~*~

Dumbledore watched the Prefects and Head Boy and Girl exchange confused glances before continuing.

"There will be no quidditch."

~*~End Flashback~*~

"But you said there will be no quidditch this year," Hermione replied, thoroughly confused by now.

All of the teachers went pale. They all glanced at each other and shuffled out of the room without a word. Hermione sighed and leaned back against her pillow. They were lying. Of course they were lying.but why? What are they not telling me?

Hermione studied herself. Her gaze fell on a silver band on her ring finger. She studied it and took it off. Engraved on the inside was an inscription. 'I will love you forever. That's a promise.' The words were charmed to appear one at a time. It was a promise ring. Who had given it to her? Why had they given it to her? She wasn't in love. Was she? Hermione sighed and fell asleep.
