Time in a bottle

Meet me in the middle

A/N:  so the story I was thinking of last chapter was indeed: Concurrent existences by Sephyxia.

Thank you for the reviewers who helped me finding that title again.  If you haven't had a chance to read it, take the time it's an amazing read. 

FYI...The last part of this chapter I had wayyy too much fun writing, so forgive my indulgence.  I hope you guys enjoy this at least half as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Malfoy!!!

The bane of Hermione's existence the last 3 days.  After Narcissa had saved her in the Great Hall, the sniveling coward had been raging to anyone who would listen about 'his girl' being seduced by the Scottish blood traitor dyke whore. 

His fellow slags had joined in and even cornered Narcissa the first morning since they had kissed and luckily Severus had been there to stop them before it went further, but Lucius had gotten his threats out to her. 

She was to stop any further attachment to the brunette from his bride to be, or he would contact her father and the Malfoys directly.

  Narcissa laughed in his face at that but paled at what he said that he would tell them.  Lucius threatened Hermione's saftey.  He said that he would bring the might of the elder Black and Malfoys to Hogwarts to smite her young love.  Narcissa could care less about her safety, after all Luscious was a bunch of hot air.  However, her father and the patriarch Malfoy was another story. 

Cygnus Black was a cruel calculating man whom was famous for his creatively torturous almost untraceable spells and charms.  If word got out to her father about her relationship outside of her betrothed, then all hell would break loose.  It wouldn't matter that her girl was a McGonagall, all that would matter was that the contract between the Malfoys and Blacks would be in danger because of this woman. 

Narcissa numbly and tearfully agreed to his terms of publicly breaking up with her, and the sniveling Malfoy's crew and himself left a crying Narcissa in the arms of her best mate Severus.

Her heart broke as she broke it off with the object of her desire, stopping the coming sweet kiss an hour later in the great hall publicly breaking the brunette's heart.  Narcissa's caring eyes turned cold towards the bookworm who she already loved dearly with her entire being.  Spewing out lie after lie about using her and how she did not want her anymore. 

Hermione almost believed her, if it wasn't for the trembling hands she glanced down at, and the joyous look from the blond headed prat and his goons behind her smirking haughtily.

Hermione's tear stained face turned back to her blonde and stepped close enough so that Narcissa could only hear her.

'I know this isn't you, and you are somehow being forced to do this.  Meet me 10 minutes in the place where everything is hidden.'
