Author's Note: This is my first attempt at writing a fan fic – well, not really... but it is the only one that I have been courageous to upload. I'm not really sure where I am going with this but I guess it will come as I go along. Hope you enjoy it!
Dedications: Ummm... I dedicate this to Tarni, Hanusia, Kate, Katelyn, Steph and Felicity and everyone else I know who reads fan fic. Please don't kill me if I've forgotten you or spelt your name wrong... Please?
Disclaimer: Hmmmmmm....... Let's see...... Is my name J.K. Rowling? No. Am I a brilliant writer? No. Do I sound like I own all the characters in the story? No. If all of the above is true, do I own Harry Potter and all the others? Figure it out.
Chapter One: Running
Thud.
Thud.
Thud.
Thud.
She was running. Her feet were pounding an anxious yet steady rhythm on the cold unforgiving concrete.
Thud.
Thud.
Thud.
Thud.
Her breath was coming in ragged gasps.
Thud.
Thud.
Thud.
Thud.
There was only one thought on her mind apart from the immense grief that was coursing through her body.
Thud.
Thud.
Thud.
Thud.
Must keep running. Got to get away from it all.
Thud.
Thud.
Thud.
Thud.
Tears were freely streaming down her face, the anguish on her face unbearably sorrowful.
Thud.
Thud.
Thud.
Thud.
She turned into a small restaurant that was nearly deserted save a single bar lady who was cleaning a glass with a dirty handkerchief. The woman did not even look up as she passed. She hurried towards a fire, fumbling in a pocket for some powder. She threw some into the fire and with two words she disappeared.
Green flashing fire.
Spinning around.
Faster.
Faster.
The spinning made her feel sick.
Glimpses of fireplaces.
Spinning.
Spinning.
Slowing down.
Stopping, stumbling out of the fireplace she was standing in.
Astonished freckled faces staring at her.
A boy stood up, his face the very picture of concern. "Hermione?" he asked carefully.
At the sight of him, Hermione started sobbing and ran over to him, enfolding herself within his arms. "Ron!"
"Don't worry" Ron soothed. "Everything will be alright."
To be continued....
Author's note: Whew! That was a little boring to write, although very sad. Sorry for the short chapter - the others won't be that short. I don't normally write in broken sentences, although it suited the style of the first chapter to do so. If you want me to upload the next chapter please review.
Yes that's right.
