Hermione’s discovery

Chapter 12: Hermione’s discovery

The morning classes had just ended. Harry and Draco were heading towards the Great Hall for lunch. When they arrived in the room, lunch had not yet been served.

Classes in the morning were all joint courses between Slytherin and Gryffindors. Since the arrival of Harry Malfoy, Hermione had never ceased to question about the boy. She had never heard of him before he came to Hogwarts and then, why did he not come here since his first year? It arose more and more questions about him and she had vowed to find all the answers. She had ample time to observe him during the morning.

She sought out Harry Potter in the school since the beginning but had still failed to find him. Yet she was sure he was here. But impossible to get her hands on him. During the hours she spent in the library, she was surprised several times by Harry (Malfoy), which she observed at the table where he worked with Draco. She had noticed several times a glimmer in his eyes like sadness and whenever he had noticed that she had seen him, he had sent her a shy smile before plunging his nose in the book he was reading or return to study with his brother.

At first, she wondered why he did that, she had decided to ignore him but she saw he looked even sadder, she had decided to make herself smile back and quietly she had seen a spark of joy in his emerald green eyes. Wait, emerald green eyes?

Seated at the Gryffindor table in the Great Hall, Hermione had suddenly felt she found the real Harry Potter. She had no evidence at the moment but when she reflected more on his actions she was confident that her friend was in front of her eyes from the beginning. And the fact that she didn’t see anything from the beginning made her angry.

It was then the temptation to share her suspicions to Ron but mind, she already knows his answer: "You read too much Hermione! You will eventually lose your mind. Harry, a Malfoy? You lost your head! ".

Hermione decided to make a list of all strange things that this Harry made and compare them with those she knew of her friend who allegedly disappeared.

The entrée appeared on the table, giving her an opportunity to reflect on her strategy to find the real Harry. Sitting beside her, Ron was too busy eating any food passed to his hand to realize that she does not leave Malfoy’s, Harry’s, eyes.

She cautiously takes out a piece of parchment from her bag, a pen and ink and began to note everything she had noticed strange in this Malfoy.

He had the same eyes that Harry, appeared to daydream or at least lost in his thoughts often like Harry. This was already a number of arguments for Hermione. In fact, she did not need them; she was almost certain it was him. But how to prove his identity? His appearance had changed; he looked at any point like Draco. Hermione had decided to call them both by their first names because when they talked about Malfoy, we never knew if people were talking about Harry and Draco.

If only she could see him alone, just for two minutes, she was sure of being able to recognize him. The problem was that he was never alone, he was always accompanied by Draco and that was problematic for Hermione. The Slytherin never left him.

She needed to find a way to approach him. For now, she chooses to do nothing except wait and watch. Patience, she had a lot of.

Suddenly, she was certain that it was Harry Potter! Hedwig had landed beside him, bringing him a letter. This had to be proof that her intuition was right! But how was this possible? Why was Harry a Malfoy and in Slytherin? Why did he say nothing to Ron or her? Weren’t they friends?

Ignoring the conspiracy, Hermione was trying to talk with him without attracting suspicion, Harry had enough time to think to himself. He missed his friends greatly, but he could go without having to provide a million explanations. Hermione could understand perhaps, but Ron? He hated the Malfoy; he would not let Harry say two words before he threw him a spell.

Several times, Harry had tried to see Hermione but Draco does not leave him for one second, to check that he does not do anything stupid, Lucius orders, he was so unlucky. He saw the smiles that she sent him in the library and he had been reassured. But he really wanted to go talk to her but Draco could discover everything about him and would strangle him for having hidden the truth about his father. Speaking to Mudbloods? You lost your mind Harry!

He had therefore resigned to watch his friends from afar. It was a little crazy to hope that Hermione would eventually learn the truth. It does therefore remain more than expected although it did not appeal to him.

Shaking his thoughts, he focused on the letter that came with Hedwig. The writing on the envelope was clean and neat. He wondered vaguely whom could have written him. He had the answer to his question by examining the envelope. There was the hallmark of Malfoy, a snake and a rose entanglement. Instinctively, he knew that it was his beloved father whom wrote to him because Narcissa had not addressed a word to the twins since Harry's arrival at the Manor. It could therefore only be Lucius.

“Oh joy!” Said Harry, what have I done? He wondered. He knew that if his father wrote, is that something was wrong because he had not yet written once since the beginning of school; he had just received packages with candies, chocolates and other sweets Draco and him were fond of.

The first time he had really been surprised, nobody had ever sent a package of candy except Mrs. Weasley for his birthday. Very embarrassed the first time he had sent word to thank him. Apparently, Lucius was talking to Draco in the letters he wrote every week as Draco had made the remark and Harry had turned to red, then Draco laughed a lot.

Referring to his letter and having taken a great breathe under the amused eye of Draco, which had recognized the seal of the manor, Harry decided to open it with the greatest possible precautions. Fortunately, this was not a howler, just a simple letter. Harry would have collapsed if it had actually been one of those damn letters! He remembered when Ron had received one from his mother in second year.

Harry begged that it would never happen to him. Being lectured by Lucius was already not a gift (he remembered the day he entered the office of his father) but then a howler from him, Harry chose not even to think of it.

Praying to Merlin to not be in trouble yet, Harry opened the envelope, the letter went out, he unfolded it and decided to start reading…
