The Slytherin princess

Chapter 66 // Planning

Hermione's POV

"I guess they used magic to put it back to normal, but that's not important, we need a new plan"

We were back on the Hogwarts express after the Christmas break, talking about what happened at the Weasleys when I remembered we, sadly, still need a new plan to kill Dumbledore

"right... um... oh, how about we-"

I was interrupted by Astoria and Theo turned up at the door, well, Astoria was pushed against the window of the compartment door, Theo in front of her, I didn't want to see anymore so I buried my face in Draco's chest, he was laughing hysterically

"Oi Theo, mate! We're in here" I heard two people scrabbling around and the door open

"is it safe?" I asked hesitantly starting to sit straight

"yeah"

I looked at the two new additions to the small space, Astoria was buttoning her shirt and Theo was fixing his hair

"your both disgusting" I grimaced at the new memory

"like you two haven't done worse" Astoria scoffed, sitting down

"at least we didn't do it in front of you"

"in our defense, we didn't know you were here"

"that isn't a- never mind, we have somewhere to be, say hi to Wren if she gets here"

I grabbed Draco's hand and left to find another compartment, we couldn't find an empty one because we were halfway through the train ride, so Draco did what he does best, threatened some second years to get out

"you being threatening is way sexier than it should be" we sat opposite each other, ready to make plans

"Everything I do is way sexier than it should be"

"I stroke your ego too much for your own good Draco, we have stuff to plan, no time for flirting" we have a lot of scheming to do, and I mean A LOT

"right... ok, what were you gonna say?"

"what about we do something with a drink? he loves that mead drink from the three broomsticks"

"and what exactly would we do with it?"

"uh, put poison in it, duh"

"your too goody, goody to do that"

"goody, goody? Really? well, like my uncle used to say 'no one expects an angel to set the world on fire'"

*

"tonight?"

"tonight"

We're setting up what to do with the mead the next afternoon after dinner

"how do we get out of the castle? Someone will notice we're gone, merlin knows Wren will notice" Wren is keeping tabs on me now, she's very suspicious of why we keep secretly disappearing

"um... what about the copy spell? We could make a copy of you and pretend your sleeping?" that's a good idea, but I've watched enough movies to know what could happen if I made a copy of myself

"well, that could work yeah, but we should add to it to make sure she doesn't say anything or do anything we don't want it to do"

"right, wait" he stood and found a book from his shelf

"Which book is that?"

"adding to spells and how to do it"

I took the book from him and opened it "ok, so we just have to make this potion, dip our wands in it, and cast the new spell while thinking about what the spell is gonna do... I dunno Draco, this is very advanced"

"We can do it, we're top of the class, remember?"

"Right... your right, I have all these supplies in my drawer"

I stood and rushed to my dorm, opened my drawer, and then the extra piece of wood underneath that I keep to make sure no one will find them because im not technically allowed my own potions supplies in my room, especially since some of these are kinda illegal. I gathered the things we needed and went back to Draco's dorm

"that's a lot"

"there's a lot of supplies needed"

I threw all his stuff off his desk and set down everything we needed to use, taking his equipment from under his desk and put it next to everything else

"hey!"

"We have shit to do, stop moaning" he sighed but sat next to me and helped nonetheless "pass me the horophant blood please"

I held out my hand for him to give me the bottle, he gave me the flask and I poured a few drops of it in then crushed some scale beans and dropped the shell inside

"rushel please" I held my hand out again and clicked my fingers when he didn't pass it over

"I'm not your servant you know 'mione"

"you believe that"

-

Finally, the potion was done and we were ready to cast the spell

"Alright, so I point it at my bed, watch the door" very, VERY reluctantly, Draco stood by the door and watched the hallway

"exemplum hominem"

I directed my wand to my bed and thought

what I would be like while asleep

over and over until there was a very real looking Hermione Zabini asleep in front of me

"that's what I look like when I'm asleep?" ew, I do not look nice

"stop whining, let's go"

sorry it's short and it's slow, my dog died recently and I haven't been able to write properly
