No More
It was just like any other normal day in Howgarts grounds, students and teachers walking and talking, practicing spells, everyone oblivious of the evil that was planning to invade their rooms, their sanctuary and corrupted everything in his pass, the goal was to destroy everything good from their world.
"So, what time are we to be there?" ask Fenrir Greyback, a death eater under the order of Lord Voldermort, so mean, so vindictive, he just want to cause harm and pain in all that he thought deserved it.
"11 of the night, we have to accurate, there's only one chance to get it right without getting kill or noticed" said Peter Pettigrew, "We will be" said Bellatrix Lestrange, in a very dark way sitting up from the dark corner she was in.
"They don't know what's coming" said Bellatrix looking out the window from her sister house, known as Malfoy Manor,
"We will destroy them all, one by one" said Greyback while an evil smirk cross his face ready to attack.
Meanwhile in Howgarts…
Hermione couldn't be happier, yesterday Gryffindor won the house cup in Herbology, thanks to Neville of course, but the source of her happiness was the fact that Professor Mcgonagall decided that she was throwing a party in his honor an his hard work, so Hermione and Ron as prefects where in command in getting everything ready for tonight feast which involved many hours together alone.
So today around 9:00 pm, they would see there hard work, she was in the common room getting right the finishing touches of the food, the banner, making sure everything was right before getting change, right that moment she was up in a latter trying to fix the banner, when a sudden sound make her loose her balance and fall backwards, just when she thought she was hitting the ground, two strong arms hold her.
Slowly she open one eye, then another and smile when she saw it's was Ron Weasley holding her, "You alright? Sorry I scared you" said Ron with a worry face.
"Yeah im fine, thanks for saving me from a nasty fall" said Hermione smiling to him in a very sweet way.
"Anytime" said Ron looking deep into her eyes, and realizing the perfect way she belong in his arms, she was the perfect size and the perfect weight, while a beautiful blush was starting to travel from Hermione necks to her cheeks cause by the proximity and the heat evoking from each other.
"Ron, you can put me down now" said Hermione very close to his face, which cause Ron to shiver, "You sure? I don't want you to trip or something" said Ron, trying to linger the time with her in his arms and trying to remember the feeling of her body press to him.
"Yes, im sure, besides I really need to change" said Hermione, with her arms still around Ron neck and playing with the hair in the end of his neck.
"Yeah, your right, people are going to start showing up any minute now" said Ron while he put her down.
"Glad to see you already change in time for once in your life" said Hermione trying to be funny with the hope of cut the tension between them.
"Heyyy, im a very punctual person if you most know" said Ron messing around with Hermione, with a big smile in his neck.
"Right, im just going to put these boxes in the Room of Requirement and the come to the party" said Hermione collecting the boxes on the floor.
"You don't have to that, just put them in the closet upstairs" said Ron helping Hermione.
"So I have to move them later? No thanks, better get it over with now, you just stay her and welcome people, be a good host im sure you'll be brilliant" said Hermione giving him a smirk.
"JA JA JA, very funny, just hurry and put the boxes. So I can teach how to have a good time" said Ron with his arms crossed in the middle of his chest.
"Oki, be right back" said Hermione leaving the common room going to the stairs that lead to the Room of Requirements. Once she put the boxes, she was so happy to get back to enjoy the evening with Ron and Harry of course and Ginny.
Just as she walk out, she heard a weird noise coming from the end of the hall, "that's weird, why are the light off" thought Hermione feeling a bit creepy being alone in such a big hall all alone and really far from the rest of the people.
When she was about to take her wand out to conjure a spell so the lanterns turn on, somebody yell "Expelliarmus" and took her wand.
"Who's there? This isn't funny, show you self" scream Hermione a little bit to loud.
"Alright, you don't need to yell, although nobody is going hear you here" said Lavender coming out of the dark corner she was in, with an evil smirk.
"Oh Lavender, its just you I was starting to get a little scared" said Hermione walking closer to Lavender.
"Actually you should be" said Lavender holding her and Hermione's wand in her hand. When Hermione saw her face and the fact she was all alone and without her wand, she step back a little bit.
"Can you please give me back my wand" said Hermione hold out her hand.
"Not really, I decided I'm going to have a little fun with it" said Lavender as she check Hermione's wand before casting a diffindo charm, causing Hermione scream a little will she hold her arm while a nasty cut appear.
"What are you doing?" said Hermione, noticing that she was bloke and couldn't get away and nobody could hear her scream.
"Trying to send a message" said Lavender, doing a binding spell which causes Hermione to stick to the wall with her hands and legs thigh up in the wall.
"What are you talking about, what message?" said Hermione trying to free herself from the spell but Hermione knew that the more you try the tighter will get so she just calm down and pray that Lavender wouldn't do anything to her.
"To stay away from my man Ron weasley" said Lavender walking closer to her. "I see the way you look at him and the way you're always goofing around".
"Lavender, where just friend, im not trying to take Ron away from you, I promise" said Hermione in a small voice working to convinced Lavender and maybe that way this will be over soon.
"You really must think im really stupid, I know you wouldn't do anything with Ron, but I can tell he likes you also so the more friendly you are with him the more he's going to like you, he doesn't now better so just back off" said Lavender raising her voice a little.
"So what you expect me to do, we have been friends since 11 , since our first year in Howgarts" said Hermione getting angry at her stupidity.
"I really could care lest how your going to do it, I just know that if you don't do it, some people beside you are going to get hurt, you don't want it to be Ron o Harry, do you? Said Lavender grabbing her injure arm.
"You wouldn't dare" said Hermione raising her head to look Lavender straight in the eyes to see if she was lying.
"Do you really want to find out? You forgetting that my father is Ron fathers boss in the Minister of Magic, so just one word and he'll be gone, then his family would starve Ron would have to leave school until the big brave and caring girlfriend Lavender Brown come to his and his family rescue, or I can just make his a Harry live miserable and trust me I can, either way I win and you will leave alone with no friends, so why don't you save some pain and cut it right now." Said Lavender walking around while explaining her plan!
"You're absolutely mad, what are you going to do if I say no? You cant leave me here for ever, Ron and Harry are going to find out sooner or later and then it'll be over for you and your stupid plan" said Hermione getting tired of standing with her legs and arms thigh up.
"Probably, but lets see Hermione, who you think Ron is going to believe his girlfriend or the girl that has being lying to his face" said Lavender sitting in front of hermione mimicking a thinking expression in her face.
"What are you talking about?" said Hermione getting a little worried.
"Your relationship with Krum" said Lavender whit a smile
"I don't have a relationship with Krum" Said Hermione raising her voice a little.
"Of course you do dozens of letter all to him" said Lavender holding a couple of letters. "See, his your lover".
Not believing what she was hearing, she starting to get angry "I can't believe you, how could you do that, Ron is going to notice that's not my hand write" said Hermione.
"Of course he is, is call Magic for a reason Hermione, don't play dumb" said Lavender holding the letters in front of hermione. Just then Lavender lost the concentration in her binding spell and one of hermione went free, hermione taking the opportunity slap Lavender across the face.
"Owwww, you bitch, wait till Ron hears about his" said Lavender running down the hallway leaving Hermione glued to the wall.
"Wait, don't leave me here" said Hermione, crying and trying to get herself free of the spell.
Just when she lost hope and realize that by know Lavender had tell a lie to Ron and that she was stuck in the wall somebody or something cut her loose, causing her to fall with the knees to the floor while rubbing her wrist and her ankles. "Thank you, who ever is there" said Hermione getting up her feet and running to the common room to tell Harry and Ron what happen.
When she walk in the common room everything was silence, and looking at her. Hermione notice that Lavender was in the couch crying while Ron try to comfort her while Harry just stand there looking between Hermione and Ron and Ginny sitting in a chair rolling her eyes, with nobody but them in the room.
"Ron…" said Hermione very slowly. Ron didn't even flinch and just keep rubbing Lavenders back and making hush noises. "Ron, please..." said Hermione getting closer to them.
"How could you Hermione?" said Ron looking at her with the angriest expression she has ever seen.
"How could I what" said Hermione looking surprise between Harry and Ron.
"Slap Lavender, I mean I know you didn't like her but there's no reason to get that far" said Ron standing up in front of Lavender.
"Ron, you gave to believe me, she ask for it, you should hear the thing she said about you and me and Harry an Ginny" said Hermione raising her hand out in a pleading way
"Yeah, she already told me what happened, I also know she was just trying to protect me from you, I thought you where my friend, our friend" said Ron pointing out to Harry and Him. "You shouldn't have lie just because we didn't like him, and no one there we didn't, you're not the person I thought you were"
"Wait, what exactly did she said?" ask Hermione to Ron and Harry and Ginny looking despaired between them
"Hermione, she told us she saw you going to the Room of requirement with a lot of boxes so she went to help you when you told her to go away and slap her" said Harry looking at Hermione in a very sorry way.
"And lets see Ron why while slap her for trying to help me?" said Hermione getting more angry.
"To hide Krum letters" said Lavender in a crying voice making Ron turn her back to hermione and look at Lavender. "Im sorry really, I didn't know you want it to keep a secret about you two and your plans, I was just trying to help" said Lavender getting more emotional and letting more tears fall. "I thought that maybe that way you will finally like me and we could be friends, I know that's all that Ron wanted".
"That's a bloody lie" scream Ginny getting up from her seats and throwing her hand in the air. "Ginny stay out if this, please" said Harry looking at Ginny.
"that's a lie Ron, you have to believe me Krum and I are just friend, I don't have any plan with him" said Hermione reaching Ron hands, when he let go stand up and went to the table and hand her a letter.
"So what this?" ask Ron with a hurt expression in his eyes, Hermione took the letter and began reading.
"Dear Krum,
I know we talk about me moving with by the end of this year but I don't think that possible, I have to help Harry in his mission to kill Lord Voldermort, oh god im so scares sometimes I wish that I wasn't his friends, or a which, just a normal girl going to a normal school I know he's been through a lot, but sometimes I cant help, im just scared to die and not been able to enjoy my life with you and he's going to be guilty if that happens.
And then there's Ron, I know he's been a god friend to me, but I can believe I like him, where suppose to be friends, nothing more, nothing less, sometimes I really hate the way he try to play with me and to imagine that I will be with him for the rest of the year, please help me. I know your going to say I have a choice but if put this mask of the perfecto and brave Hermione Granger that I have to keep on so I can get what I want from this life.
Im really sorry my love, please wait for me,
Forever yours
Hermione G. "
"this is a lie, stop lying" scream Hermione, throwing herself at Lavender who still was sitting in the couch, causing Lavender to scream more and Ron and Harry trying to grab Hermione from hitting her again.
"Stop it" scream Harry holding Hermione in his arms and trying to controller her.
"All I know is that you the liar, you didn't have to do any of it, you're just a Know-it-all, who thinks she can play with people fillings, how you dare call Lavender a liar when she was just trying to protect me from you all this time, im tires of your trying to change me, always thinking your better than me, telling me what to do, I don't need you, you can go to hell for all I care"
"All this time you were just trying to get me to break up with Lavender, when she's been the only one honest to me, I couldn't believe I have the nerve to call you my friend, I would have giving my life to protect you Hermione and this is how you treat me"
"Ron, come on you can't be that stupid" said Hermione grabbing Ron by the shoulders and trying to make some common sense. "You know me, me Hermione Granger, the one that has been here all this time, with you" said Hermione getting tears in her eyes.
Shaking her grip and turning her back Ron said "All I know I don't want to see you anymore, your not my friend, your not the girl I thought you were, you could just leave when you want it, and I might be stupid but im never going to be a coward and a mud blood, that needs to be perfect to prove herself and everybody that's she's worth something"
When Hermione here the M word she just stud there with tears forming in her eyes, the love of her live, one of the persons she would dye for just stab her in the heart and have no remorse pulling out of her, sucking the reason she had to live.
"Ron, are you mad…." Said Ginny when hermione cut her an said "Leave him Ginny, now I know what he really thinks of me", in a choke voice causing Ron to turn around an look at Hermione, regretting what just said, the sight cause his heart to broke, for the first time Hermione look defeated, with no more energy left to fight him.
"No Hermione, he doesn't think that's, he just saying it because he's angry" said Harry trying to fix what just happen.
"Stop it Harry, he's right im just a mud blood trying to prove myself and everybody "she said looking straight to Ron eyes. "Im sorry for all the problem I cause, I promise that from now one you wouldn't even know if I exist so you just can forget about me".
"Hermione…." Said Ron walking a little bit closer to her. "No, its okay Ron really somebody had to tell me the truth, so no more Hermione Know-it-all, no more Hermione telling you to choice between me and your girlfriend, No more Hermione." She said and start walking to the double doors that lead to the Gryffindor garden and walking out.
"Thank you so much honey for sticking up to me" said Lavender getting up and hugging Ron, while he looked at Harry with a pain expression and Harry looking at him so disappointed of just happen and what he just said, grabbing Ginny by the hand he start to walk out of the common room.
Just then Ginny turn around and said "You never deserved her" with tears in her eyes while she walk out.
You would guest she was crying, but she just was sitting in the grass looking at the night sky numb to the pain, she knew sooner or later it would came but she prefer later, right that moment she heard a pop sound and turn around to find Death eaters walking her way, she was stiff, she didn't dare to move when she came to her senses a death eater grab her arm and pull her up.
"Hello Mud blood, nice to see you again" said Greyback looking at her in a very sick way.
