Frozen Hearts
The cold wind whipped around her, it was the coldest day of winter. Her Dark curly brown hair whirled around in the wind. She made no attempt to stop it. She slowly made her way to a half frozen tree near the edge of a hill. Her dark milk chocolate eyes scanned her surroundings, everything was covered with snow. Not one tree had any leaves on its branches. No animal was visible threw the winter wonderland she now stood in. She sighed she was excused both mentally and emotionally. She looked up at the sky, dark clouds moved about. Tonight there would be a snow storm. She sighed yet again, but this time out frustration, why was she being so weak. She needed to be strong. Now more than ever, what was she gaining from, grieving and feeling self pity? Nothing. She stood up and decided what she needed was a walk. She walked around for what seem like hours. Her mind had seemed to wonder back to the day when she was told the worst news of her eighteen year old life.
Flashback
She swiftly walked up to the door. Her heart seemed to be beating 100 miles a minute.
She closed her eyes and tried to calm her self.
She slowly knocked.
A muffled "enter" was heard from the other side of the door.
"You asked to speak with me sir;" she asked hoping with all her might that it wouldn't have anything to do with her parents
An old man who wore a sad expression on his already tired face, nodded sadly. This man was one of the few men who gave off a powerful aura by just being in a room.
"Please sit," he said waving his hand to a chair in front of his desk.
"Miss. Granger as you well know your parents…….."
Here it was what she had been fearing she closed her eyes trying not to jump to conclusions, one part of her was telling her that maybe her parents where safe and all was just a false call, just maybe, that they where just being moved to a safer place, but her more reasonable side told her that she was being foolish to believe such a thing. She knew Dumbledore was watching her, she could feel his eyes scrutinizing her every move. She slowly opened her eyes and was met by two blue ones. There was no twinkle in them, only sadness. He walked over to her and took her hand in his.
"Hermione, I'm so sorry," he said as he looked at her, "but your parents where attacked, they didn't survive. Again, I'm terribly sorry. "
He cleared his throat and stood up and walked over to his desk, "you are dismissed from classes until you feel strong enough to return."
Hermione who had stopped listening to what he was saying, just stood up and walked out the door. Tears filled her eyes as she walked down a small pair of stairs. Her body started to tremble slightly; she leaned on the wall and slipped down to the floor. There she cried, and cried and cried, until she could no longer cry. Her face felt puffy her eyes burned from all the tears she had cried. She slowly made it back to her room. She headed to straight to bed. She didn't even bother to change before she fell asleep to an un-peaceful slumber. That night she barley slept, her dreams where haunted by two people she loved, and never would see again.
End of Flashback
She shook the unwanted thoughts that clouded her already clouded mind away. She couldn't brake down here and cry. She looked into the distance a small almost invisible tear ran down her half frozen face. "I'm sorry," she said so quietly that if she doubted she even said it out loud. She looked at her watch it was ten minuets till dinner, she had promised Harry and Ron she would go down and eat with them. She slowly composed herself and walked back to the castle. Little did she know that someone also made their way back to the castle keeping out of sigh behind her.
