I opened the door to my house. "Mum, I'm ho..." I began to yell but the stranger in the livingroom had me pause. "Who are you?"
They young man looked at me and went to respond when my mom came into the room. "Hermione darling. I'm so glad you are home you need to go with Rowland. I will explain everything when we meet up at the house." My mother turned to the young man. "Rowland you need to take her with you and keep her safe. She knows NOTHING and I want to be the one to tell her."
"Mum what is going on?"
"All you need to know is there is still a war going on and you my dear are the key to what they think will win it. I have one confession before you leave. I was born a witch but to have a child I had to give up my powers in short Hermione you are not a Muggleborn what is on your am is a lie. I will explain more later for now I leave you in the hands of my sister and her children."
"Mum this makes no since what are you talking about. The war is over we won and how are you a witch?"
"Like I said I will explain later." There was an explosion in the back yard. "Go now they are here."
The young man stepped forward and grabbed a hold of me. "Mum, I can't leave you here. If they are here for me ... you are in danger too."
"I am leaving with someone else. No I can't tell you who. Go! Rowland take her." And with that I was appareated out of my childhood home. The last thing I see is hooded figures entering the living room. Now I stood on a street. I had no idea where I was.
"I'm going home. You can't do this."
"I am only doing what I am told to do, you stupid Gryffindor." He spat
"Excuse me. What the hell. You must be a self-centered Slytherin." I spat back at him. While I sized him up.
He smirked at me or so I thought. "Now Granger we aren't all self-centered or cowardly so you called me a year or two ago."
I tensed. The voice I didn't want to hear. I gritted my teeth and turned to him. "Hello, Malfoy." I said with an irritated voice.
"Now Rowland, when you said you were bringing your cousin I didn't imagine she was it." Draco prompted.
"Yeah, yeah, no one is to know. You are just a stop before going home."
"What's with the snappy attitude. She is harmless. Let's have a drink and chat for a bit." And with that Draco headed toward the tall gate. I froze the last time I was here I was branded and held against my will. This place gave me the creeps.
Rowland rolled his eyes. "Don't try and run Gryffindor. Your mum would not be happy with you if you did." He said blankly.
"Besides, Granger, I promise it's not what you remember." Draco smirked at me and caught up to Rowland. "Now, Rowland who are you taking to your family gala tonight?"
Rowland glared at Draco I could tell the two were friends but Rowland obviously didn't trust me. I looked him up and down. I noticed that Rowland was tall probably about 6' 4". He seemed to be tense something was on his mind and he wasn't going to share. He had shaggy brown hair and brown eyes.
They were now whispering more than likely about me. I sighed realizing I had no choice because I don't even know where mum is to go looking for her. I hadn't noticed that the two of them had turned off the path towards the garden. It was beautiful full of flowers and butterflies. I never imagined that this horrid place could now be so beautiful. Well at least on the outside.
"Let's go, Granger!" Malfoy barked.
"I am not one of your goons, Malfoy. I don't have to listen to you talk to me like this." I snapped once again at him.
"No but if you don't want to be left out here you better get over here." He said matter of factually.
I growled which he unmistakably heard because he chuckled. I didn't care he was getting on my last nerve. "I'm coming"
Malfoy mumbled something to Rowland that I didn't catch. Well I think I did but I'm not to sure I want to even think about his dirty mind. I shuddered. Rowland had now disappeared and I watched Malfoy head down a rabbit hole. I laughed to myself just like Alice in Wonderland. The difference is I'm following a white ferret instead of a white rabbit. I'm truly heading down the rabbit hole. My jaw dropped when I joined the boys down the rabbit hole. The room was...
Cliff hanger. Comment and vote. I'm kinda going with the flow right now so we shall see where it goes. Thanks for reading.
