Hey, next chapter.

Thanks again for the reviews.

Hermione felt something wet land on her face, her eyes shot open and she was up and wand out in a second, only to realize it was the drizzle of the remaining rain. She was soaked from top to bottom and had somehow fallen asleep.

She kept her wand pointed at nothingness and the horrible guilt and dread feeling came back to her. There were others like her who wasn't afraid of the rain, but was afraid of the real threat, had to use their wand after it was drawn and die. Not wake up in shock to find no enemy. They had to wake up from a nightmare expecting to see a monster.

She fell down on the wet grass, clutching her wand in her hand, both her hands on the ground as her knuckles turned white under the strain. "Why can't I do it?" She asked herself as she hit the grass, making a few speckles of mud spray from the area, some landing on her face. "Why can' t I just pull myself together?" She asked herself as she refused to stand up.

She had studied her entire life to be a great Witch, she hadn't even relied on others for this, but once she met them her entire view changed and she became dependent on them for so many things. When they were rude to her she would suffer, when they were nice she would be elated. They were like her mood swings in living flesh.

Now, without any mood, she felt dead. She wasn't sure what to do, they had been through so much together, they were her friends, she considered them close enough to be family and they were stolen from her. Stolen by the monster of her nightmares and the fiend who killed everyone!

She hated him, hated him from the core of her being. There was nothing rational about him, nothing sane. He was a mindless monster, some claimed him intelligent, she argued until she was blue in the face. No one with intelligence would do such horrible things, have such horrible goals and undermine half-bred Witches like that! No, he was a selfish stupid child that never learned to grow up. He was still the damn orphan, wanting power!

"I hate you Voldemort!" She yelled towards the sky and before she could even put her hand to her mouth she heard the sky crackle in an peculiar way...
