Emerald - Draco Malfoy

41

Hermione and I appeared at the door to Dumbledore's office.  

"How did you do-"

"I've learned a few things from the library." Hermione cut me off. 

The door opened slowly, we entered to see Dumbledore pacing his office. 

"I've been expecting you to come one of these times, Ms Stewart." Dumbledore announced. 

I had never been in his office before this. 

Don't know if that's good or bad.  

"Can we..." Hermione trailed off. 

"Of course, best to get them out while they are fresh." Dumbledore walked over to us. 

He led us to a corner of his office. 

There stood an almost sink looking object, filled with a glowing liquid. 

"What is it?" I asked, slowly inched forward.  

The way the liquid swirled was mesmerizing.

"Hogwarts' Pensieve, you can review memories. Your's or other's, copies of them at least. I've used it many times to go over different memories, to see if I've missed anything." Dumbledore spoke.  

"Does it hurt?" I looked at him. 

"Extracting them, no. But, some times reliving things you've seen, gives you a different kind of pain." Dumbledore put his wand to my head. 

A white glowing string pulled from my head, and dangled at the end of his wand.  

He quickly dropped the memories into the bowl. 

"Ready?" Hermione looked over at me. 

"Ready as I'll ever be." I nodded. 

We both stuck our faces into the Hogwarts' Pensieve, and opened our eyes. 

We saw nothing, but white. 

As everything slowly came into focus.

Hermione and I, appeared in the halls of Hogwarts.

We were in the memories, walking through them. 

Everything had a white, glowing hue to it. 

I came running through, in my emerald green dress.  

"This must be the Yule Ball." I told Hermione. 

"You were going back for my shoes." She took my hand, and we ran after me. 

Memory me couldn't see us or hear us, no one could. 

Real life me, and real life Hermione could only, see and hear each other. 

We followed me back into the room. 

We watched as Draco stood before me, dangling Hermione's shoes into the air.

"You coming back for these, or did you just want to look at me one last time?" Draco spoke.

"What is he doing?" Hermione asked me. 

"Shh, just watch. Your questions with answer themselves." I hushed her. 

"I told you..." Draco looked away. 

"Told me what?" I groaned at him.
