CHAPTER FIC; Monstrosity: Chapter 15 | Energies
Title: Monstrosity
Rating: T
Summary: Based loosely on Disney's Beauty & the Beast. Dramione style. Harry and co. run around in an alternate reality where a cauldron can talk, Mad-Eye isn't completely mad and Hermione starts to consider the possibility that she might be schizophrenic.
Snippet:
"You two," Draco gestured with the tilt of his head toward Neville and Dean near the door. "What have you noticed of the girl's behavior that will aid me?"
Having thought themselves forgotten, the two had unwittingly lulled themselves closer to a state of calm; at the sound the Master's question, Dean stilled, just marginally, but Neville's form seized with fright.
"Well," Dean coughed slightly, finding his voice. "Hermione has certainly been educated, though for what cause of with what resources, we do not know. She is perfectly literate, and can read as well as write. She has an extensive knowledge of history and of foreign cultures, most likely as a consequence of her avid reading."
"Hermione lives on a farm just at the other edge of the forest," Neville added. "She grew up elsewhere, and moved to a village on the outskirts of the forest when she was young."
"Hermione doesn't care for fancy things," Dean continued, his voice growing more confident. "She prefers simple pleasures, most of the time, and most of all with reading and acquainting herself with the servants."
"She doesn't drink!" Neville chimed.
"Doesn't gamble," Blaise muttered.
"Hermione also isn't one for cursing, and is actually quite reproving of Zabini's linguistic tendencies," Dean snickered.
"She's also very prone to looking out for others," Neville nodded. "She comes to meals early to help us with chores, and even stays late afterward to talk to us while we clean. She's been very nearly giving the teacups heart attacks during meal times when she tries to stop them from-"
"Enough," Draco ground out. The others immediately stilled into silence, and he eyed them hard. "You speak of her with such striking familiarity for only having been acquainted just over a week ago." They shifted uncomfortably.
"She has been well received by those in the castle, my lord," Dean said simply. Draco's eyes narrowed.
"So it seems," he whispered coldly.
