Asking Enemies for Help…

Mudblood and Scarhead,

Meet me in front of the Slytherin dorm after dinner.

Draco Malfoy.

Hermione and Harry stared at the flimsy piece of paper. Weren't people mostly more polite when asking another to meet them? Things just weren't normal when Malfoy had something to do with it.

"So, should we go?" Harry asked Hermione.

"Wow look, it's snowing in July. Better not go, bet you a million that it's a trap." Ron muttered, clearly not pleased for being left out.

Hermione bit her lip and contemplated the situation. Malfoy had given them this note right after Dumbledore had met up with him. Perhaps it had something to do with Kagome? But then…it wouldn't hurt to go even if it was trap.

"We'll go; we've beaten the hell out of the three even alone, why fear going when we're going as a pair?"

Harry nodded, somehow disturbed at the sudden friendliness of Malfoy.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Kagome IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Delicate hands reached inside a drawer and pulled out a leather diary, the clear script of Kagome Higurashi written on the front. She frowned at the diary, before reaching out and loosened the leather strap. Quickly flipping to the last page, Kagome stared at the information she had left.

Heaven's Sorrow – Level of Potion: S

Potion Danger Level: S

Completion Possibility: 5

Heaven's Sorrow, known as the most potent potion. Even in the history of the magic world, only a handful of wizards and witches were able to fully complete the potion. The steps of making Heaven's Sorrow is extremely complicated, even one wrong step can cause the potion to turn into acid. The maker of the potion must place ingredients in exact order, stir the potion exactly as instructed.

Too little of Heaven's Sorrow will dim the affect of the potion, and the potion's affect will disappear after a few days. Too much of Heaven's Sorrow and the drinker will be dead.

Use: to forget all emotion. If measured the exact amount needed, the drinker of the potion will forget how to feel any emotion.

Warning: Which ever emotion the maker holds when brewing the potion will be mixed into the potion, therefore there the maker will also lose a part of his or her emotion.

Ingredients:

One of the maker's emotions

Frog legs

Snake's eye

Unicorn hair

Blood of the potion maker

Blood of a deer

Blood of a bear

Blood of a phoenix

Instructions:

Add all ingredients as listed order

Stir potion two times clockwise

Stir potion four times anti-clockwise

If potion does not turn silver upon stirring, potion is potent and is not the correct form of Heaven's Sorrow

Once the potion maker has no more emotions, the potion maker must put his or her life inside the potion

Antidote: -

Kagome gasped as the diary was suddenly set on fire, the flames licking at the last section on the making of the antidote. Surprisingly, the flame suddenly evaporated as soon as the part on the antidote disappeared, the burnt edges not even touching the other words that were the making of the potion.

She fell silent; it seemed as if the ancient power of the potion was extremely strong. It would not allow the antidote to be remembered even if it had been recorded on paper.

A sigh escaped her unusually pale lips, well, it didn't really matter anyways. She had no intention of regaining her emotions, merely was curious at the piece of memory she had lost.

Thinking once more about her decision, Kagome took a piece of parchment and took out her quill and ink from her drawer. She scribbled, the font rushed though still legible.

"Akuram, take this to my mother," she tied the letter and released Akuram into the night air.

She looked at the stars, blinking at her. Reaching out to grab her cloak, Kagome casually swung it on and left, preparing for the patrol with Malfoy.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"Malfoy, what's up with this?" Hermione questioned with narrowed eyes, holding the piece of paper for him to see.

He shrugged, "I need to talk to you about Heaven's Sorrow."

"There is nothing for us to discuss, don't you think so, Malfoy?" Harry exclaimed.

"Well, since brainy little Mudblood there is quite…knowledgeable, I thought that I could ask her. Because in truth, I have no idea where to start with this little research for the antidote."

"We'll help." Harry looked at Hermione with a 'are you crazy!?' look, not believing that she had agreed so quickly.

Malfoy smiled, he always knew that the golden trio was easy to manipulate.

"But we're only doing this for Kagome. If during the process we find that you're proving to be a hindrance, we're kicking you out," Hermione hissed haughtily, simply daring him to rebuke.

His smile faltered at this, but didn't disappear, "Don't worry Granger; we've still got to see who's going to be kicked out."

"Who's going to kick who out? I certainly don't want you kicking me out of patrol, Malfoy," an icy voice broke through their little verbal battle.

The three turned around to find Kagome standing there, looking past Harry and Hermione to stare directly at Malfoy. "Hi Harry, hi Hermione. Malfoy, shouldn't we start out? I don't want to lose my prefect job."

He nodded at her, giving the other two the look that meant they were dismissed. The two being the two people they were, were definitely not quite happy with the look that Malfoy was giving them. Both of them cursed him and inwardly spat at him.

It wasn't good to see them walk away together.

"If Malfoy was the reason that Kagome drank the potion in the first place, then I don't think there is any reason for us to help Malfoy with the antidote," Hermione concluded after some time of thinking. "I mean, Kagome must have her own reason for drinking the potion, so we shouldn't interfere should we? It's Malfoy's fault if he didn't keep Kagome by his side."

"How do you know Kagome isn't unhappy with her loss of emotions?" Harry muttered.

"She CAN'T be unhappy, don't you see Harry, and she doesn't feel anything anymore! She doesn't know what unhappy is! Don't you think she's better off like this?"

Harry stared at Hermione; girls, always so quick to change their mind. She had only agreed with helping Malfoy minutes ago, and now she was thinking about leaving Kagome as she was.

"You already agreed with ferret."

"So? Since when were we known to keep any promises with each other? I mean come on, Malfoy's have always been known to backstab!" Hermione exaggerated.

"You still agreed with him."

Hermione huffed and crossed her arms, glaring at Harry. "Fine, I go ask Kagome about this. If she wants to have her emotions back, then we go search for the antidote. If she doesn't, well, we don't help Malfoy.

Harry grinned; he had perfect confidence that he would make Kagome want her emotions back again.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII With Kagome and Malfoy IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"What were you talking about?" Kagome coldly questioned.

"I don't think that's any of you business, Higurashi." Malfoy looked forward, ignoring her.

He had thinking to do, plenty of them and he didn't want to be bothered by this 'unusual' Kagome.

"Say whatever you want, but I heard you people talking about Heaven's Sorrow." Kagome hissed. "Listen Malfoy, Heaven's Sorrow isn't a potion that you should have contact with. Never mind that, I like the way I am and I have no need for an antidote. You can quickly cancel your research."

"You are mistaken if you think that I'm finding the antidote for your benefit. Dumbledore sent the orders for me to find the antidote in case you let another person in the school drink it. A bit of a disaster wouldn't it be?" Malfoy leered.

Kagome ignored him, strolling right ahead and keeping her thoughts to herself.

She, Kagome Higurashi, first time after drinking Heaven's Sorrow, wanted to slap somebody.

Malfoy grinned as he watched her briskly walk in front of him. With their positions like this, she would never notice what he was feeling. Now, perhaps a letter to Mrs. Higurashi.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Higurashi Shrine IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Mrs. Higurashi stared at the two letters in her hand, one brought to her by Akuram and another sent to her by a random Hogwarts owl.

"This is going to get messy…" she sighed.

Apparently, Kagome had already anticipated Malfoy would ask the only possible person who would've taught her how to make Heaven's Sorrow about the antidote; her mother. Her letter clearly stated for her mother to keep a secret of what the antidote was and she made it clear that she had no intention of regaining her emotions.

Then there was Malfoy's letter, which spoke with desperation of how much he wished to take the antidote and make Kagome remember how to feel.

This was not good; it meant that Kagome had taken Heaven's Sorrow. She had warned Kagome to never use it unless in a desperate situation, and she had wished that she would never have to use the potion until 30 years old or more.

She was caught in between her daughter's wish, or her own wish to let her daughter return to the vibrant girl she was.

Decisions, decisions, when have they been easy to make?

AN: Sorry it took so long for this chapter to come up. I've finally reached high school (YAHOO!), but it is a big change from middle school and I'm still trying to adjust to the work load and the constant attack of tests and pop quizzes. Argh! Well, you get the idea.
