Just Go For It

Chapter 33

Hermione woke up and looked around her Gryffindor themed room. She looked at her clock and it showed that it was 10:04am. She got up and got dressed in a pink vest top with a grey jumper over it with her blue jeans and white flat shoes. She looked at the flask. She didn't know if Draco was up yet so she went downstairs to see if he was awake. When she walked down the stairs she stopped on the last step and she had to blink multiple times. The common room had been decorated for Christmas. There was a white Christmas tree with red, gold, green and silver baubles. Hermione could see tinsel and mistletoe all around the room and on the tree. On the top of the tree instead of an angel or a star there was the Hogwarts emblem on the top instead. Draco walked down the stairs and stopped on the step above Hermione. (Draco was wearing a white top with dark blue jeans and black shoes.)

"Whats happened?"

"I don't know Draco you went bed after me I thought you would know."

"It is Christmas so that must be why."

"Probably."

Draco's eyes looked over the room. Hermione stepped down the last step and sat on the sofa. Draco did the same.

"You not hungry Hermione?"

"No not very."

"Why?"

"Draco I'm just not hungry and they always do a really big Christmas dinner here."

"Do they?"

"Yes...Wait you haven't ever stayed here for Christmas have you?"

"No I've always gone home because they had Death-Eater meetings the Christmas week."

"Are they bad?"

"Yes because they get a muggle to get tortured most of the time. I hate it."

Hermione got up and started going upstairs.

"Where you going?"

"I'll be down in a minute."

Hermione went up the remaining stairs and got the flask and went back down the stairs.

"What's that?"

"Your Christmas present."

Hermione sat next to Draco and handed him the flask.

"What is it?"

"It's to get rid of your dark-mark I know you hate seeing it so I made you a potion to get rid of it."

"How do I use it?"

"You drink it." Hermione voice drained as she said the sentence.

"Drink it? Whats in it?"

"You don't wanna know."

Draco untied the ribbon around the flask and undid the cork. He took a deep breath and took a long sip. Hermione watched amazed. When he swallowed he started coughing. Hermione looked up at him hopefully.

"What was in that drink Hermione?" Draco was started coughing again as he finished the sentence.

"Do you really want to know?"

"Yes."

"Well it had 'heart of snake', 'tongue of frog', 'feather of hippogriff', 'horn of unicorn', 'leaches', 'fur of rabbit', 'wing of bat' and 'A pure red rose." Hermione recalled from memory.

"What? But that's horrible!"

"I didn't tell you because I thought you wouldn't drink it if you knew."
