The 8th Horcrux *DISCONTINUED*

Chapter 12

Hermione waited outside the door for fifteen minutes before Dumbledore called her back in.

"Now that you both understand what the circumstances are, I must warn you that Voldemort will have placed people and creatures in the times to guard the horcrux itself and any clues that will bring you closer. Please be careful as the entire fate of the wizarding world rests upon your shoulders.

Also, before I go I'd like to inform you the the Zabini's, excluding Lea, Ms. Weasely and Ms. Parkinson are all outside of the door to your left. Good day." Dumbledore said.

He then lifted the Muffliato Charms and disapparated which left the two teenagers in surprise. Lea had told them of the anti-apparation wards over the entire house.

"Want to have a bit of fun?" Hermione quietly asked smirking.

"Sure," Draco responded with a shrug of his shoulders.

Hermione pulled him to his feet before yelling, "You're a complete are Draco Malfoy! Why would you even suggest such a barbaric thing?"

"You asked," Draco said.

"Ugh! I could kill you right now!" Hermione screeched.

"You wouldn't," Draco said, his voice laced with the impression that he was smirking.

"Try me," Hermione grumbled.

Draco laughed at her in a mocking way, so Hermione decided she would lose it.

"Avada Kedavra!" She screamed.

Draco smirked before falling to the floor and lying still. Hermione quickly pulled out her wand and pointed it st Draco as their friends, and in Hermione's case siblings, came rushing in.

"You killed him!" Blaise screeched in a girly tone rushing to his friends side.

"I told him to back off and not test me," Hermione said with a shrug.

Ginny, Pansy, Taylor, and Kam all saw past Hermione's lie and started laughing while Blaise was cradling Draco's head in his arms rocking back and forth whispering soothing words to him.

"Oh Draco mate, your okay. Just dead that's all," Blaise whispered.

Draco chose that moment to jump up. He whispered back, "I'm only dead. I'm only dead. I want to kill you. I want to kill you," before opening his eyes and yelling at Blaise.

Blaise gave the girliest shriek imaginable as he jumped back, "He's a zombie! He's a zombie!"

At that everyone fell to the ground laughing, clutching their sides and forcing air into their lungs.

"This isn't funny! She did the spell wrong and now he's a murdering zombie! Help me! He wants to kill me!" Blaise yelled while hiding behind the couch.

"He's n-not dead!" Hermione choked out between fits of laughter, "I-I-It was a-a j-jo-k-ke."

Blaise threw them all a dirty look, "Draco, your sleeping on the floor tonight."

"Yes Zombie Coward," Draco said smirking.

Later that night around midnight:

(Theo Nott has arrived and staying the last week in Blaise and Draco's room. There are three beds as the share a room when visiting.)

A scream pierced through the silence of the night causing all three boys to jump and grab there wands.

"What the bloody hell?" Theo asked as the went into the hall.

Blaise quickly cast Muffliato on his mother's door before saying, "That's Hermione's screams. Their they same from that one night. You don't think its happening again, do you?"
