Temptation
Chapter One
Hermione was just walking down the street that lead to her house when she saw something that made her stop dead in her tracks.
No.
No.
It wasn't possible. They couldn't have found her after all the trouble she had went through to keep her existence a secret. She abruptly turned on her heel and sped towards the nearest store. She heard shouts and cries telling her to come back, and heard footsteps chasing her.
Hermione dashed inside of the side, bumping into several people coming out of the doors in her rush. She raced through the aisles and looked for a way out.
She heard her name being called but she didn't care. She kept looking for an escape. She saw the exit door and her hope shot through her chest. She ran for it.
She dashed through the door, not caring for the sirens that went off and the people scrambling to get to her. Hermione ran through the halls and down the stairs till she came to a door. She knocked it open with her shoulder and found herself on the fire escape. She ran down the metal stairs, not stopping, sometimes flinging herself over the inside rail to the next set of stairs. She was halfway down when she heard the metal 'THUNK' from above her. She knew that meant that someone was chasing her. She started running faster and faster till everything was blurred around her. She was two stories about the ground now and she thought, 'What the hell? Why not?' and flung herself off the outside rail.
Her body was sailing to meet the ground and she heard the gasps and cries of the people still on the fire escape. Her body hurtled to the ground and she wanted to scream, not in fear though but in exhilaration!
Her body met the ground and she bent her knees that way she could land on the ball of her feet. She rolled to ground to keep the impact from breaking any bones in her body. Her body rolled to the side and she pushed herself onto one of her knees so she was kneeling. Her left foot implanted in the ground while her right knee was on the ground.
She turned her head and saw that the people chasing her had shocked and impressed faces on. She turned around and started running, dodging and weaving herself in and out of the people and crowds she had to run through.
She kept running and saw a national bus station. She ran towards and beat on the sides of the bus, yelling, "Stop! Wait! Wait for me! Stop!" The bus eventually stopped and let Hermione on. She paid her dues and sat in the back of the bus and pulled her hood over her head. She slumped back in the seat and let relief flood into her body.
They hadn't caught her. She wasn't caught. She felt laughter flood her body and she so badly wanted to release it but all she did was force the laughter back and smirk.
She got comfy into the bus seat and dozed off. It seemed like only minutes when she heard something that awoke her out of her sleep. It sounded like something landed on the bus. Hermione pushed some of her black hair out of her face and sat up straight in her seat. The bus stopped. For why, she wasn't to sure. She heard someone get one the bus. The messy, black hair came into view and Hermione felt her eyes momentarily widen before going back to normal size. She saw him look around before his eyes landed on her.
"There you are, Hermione." He said, sounding relieved.
Hermione did a bit of wand-less, wordless magic and confounded the people on the bus to stand up and block his view of Hermione. While the people on the bus did this, and hearing his shouts of, "Move! People, seat down or move out of my way!" She got up and opened the exit door in the back of the bus and pushed herself out of the bus. She shut the door before running across the busy street. She almost got hit a couple of times but made it across the street. She turned back to bus to see it start to go and his group and himself turn around confused before the red haired one pointed to where she was and they all turned to her with shocked expressions. She smirked and waved before turning around and running down the busy street.
She woke up in a dingy, crappy motel which she only paid 20 pounds for. Hermione walked out in the same clothes she wore yesterday, which was dark-grey skinny jeans with the occasional rip in them and a tight, black 'Black Veil Brides' T-Shirt with purple and red lettering. The shirt also had the occasional rip down the sides and in the shoulder part of the shirt. She had on black knee-high converses with purple and red lacings. Her jet black, curly hair hung down to her lower back with the random red streak here and there. Her chocolate brown eyes were dull and lifeless, though they sparkled with adrenaline. She enjoyed a chase here and there every now and then. And this one was the most fun she has had in a while. She walked down the hallway to the lobby and checked out, thanking Merlin that the receptionist was a female.
She walked out of the motel and just started walking down the side of the road. It wasn't like she had a car! She had run from her home, and that was where her car was. That was also where the group had tried to kidnap her. She couldn't go back there. She absolutely couldn't! Not after what had happened. She had been heartbroken and betrayed for the last time. Even after she trusted the one person who she thought would never hurt her.
She was lucky enough to catch a ride with a stranger to get to London. She had a feeling she shouldn't go there but she couldn't think of anywhere else to go.
She got out of the car and tried to pay the woman with the little money she had on her but the woman refused to take it. Hermione just smiled and waved as the lady started to leave. Hermione made her way through the Leaky Cauldron and out the back door. She tapped on the right bricks to get into Diagon Alley and was pleased to see it open up to her.
She walked through Diagon Alley and went to her favorite shops; Honeydukes, Zonko's, Flurish and Blott's, and Hog's Head. She walked to the exit of Diagon Alley when she froze again. She saw them. The red head, the blonde ferret, and the messy, black haired Gryffindor Prince. She turned on her heel and pushed her way through the crowds of witches and wizards. She heard footsteps following her and she mentally groaned, 'Not again!' She thought before dodging through people and trying to find a hiding spot. She saw the 'Knockturn Alley' sign and ran for it. But it was no use. Before she even entered the Knockturn Alley, she felt fingers on her neck, right on her pressure point and everything went black.
Hermione walked through the Gryffindor Common Room, excited to see her boyfriend of 6 months. The Second War was almost a year ago and the Light Side had won. Harry and Hermione had gotten closer over after the battle. Three months after it, in August, Harry had asked her out. She couldn't believe it! Harry Potter, the Boy-Who-Lived, asking her, Hermione Granger, the Know-It-All and Mudblood of Hogwarts, as his girlfriend. She couldn't believe it. Hermione was so ecstatic! Their relationship has been nothing but good so far. It was their 6 month anniversary today and she wanted to do/give something to Harry to was special.
She walked up the stairs and was going to the Boy's Dormitories when she heard moaning and grunts coming from there. Hermione wanted to give them some privacy because it was intimate but then she heard, 'Right there. Fuck. Fuck. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Right there, Harry!" Hermione froze and she couldn't believe it. It was the voice of her best friend, Ginny Weasley. She opened the door quietly and looked in and was shocked to find Harry Potter, her boyfriend, thrusting quite quickly into Ginny's vagina. She was upset and tears started streaming down her face. Hermione hiccuped and they both froze and turned to her. She saw Harry and Ginny both find their clothes rather quickly and Harry turned to her.
"Baby, it wasn't what it looked like." He said, trying to soothe Hermione with his soft words. They only made her more upset and furious.
"Really? Because it looked like you were fucking Ginny Weasley in your bed on our 6 month anniversary!" She screamed at him. He turned red and started stuttering.
"I-I-I di-didn't-" He stuttered.
"You didn't know? Of course not. I'm not important now am I? Only your fuck buddy's are. Tell me Harry, how long has this been going on? Is Ginny the only one?" She asked him quietly. He said nothing at first then said in a whisper.
"For three months and Ginny isn't the only one." Hermione stood there with her mouth open in shock. She walked over to Harry and slapped him extra hard in the face. His head turned to the side and his face started turning a dark shade of red.
"Rot in hell, you deceiving bastard." She said quietly with tears streaming down my face. "If you would have waited, I was giving myself to you today for our 6 month anniversary. I guess it doesn't matter anymore." She said, watching as his facial expression turned into shock and sadness. She turned around, shaking her head and made her way out the door. Hermione heard Harry whisper something but she didn't care anymore.
From that moment on, she turned off her emotions and cut herself off from everyone she knew. Hermione had been heartbroken too many times and she was betrayed by the one person she loved and would always love.
After her final 7th year of Hogwarts, Hermione left the day after graduation and no one ever saw her again.
It had been seven years since that day.
Hermione awoke to seeing white all around her and found herself chained to a bed. She tugged and pulled with all of her might but found it useless. She groaned and looked over to see emerald green eyes look back into hers. He smirked and said, "Hello, luv. Now, where have you been all these years?"
