5. The Shade/Poison Dagger
Hermione's POV
Everyone started to get up and leave when suddenly someone came through the doors of the great hall.
A young man who looked to be in his mid-twenties. He had scars on his face. His hair was the color of fire. His eyes where the color of blood. But what stood out about this young man was his finger nails were black.
He was a shade. These people were not allowed to be in Hogwarts because of their obsession for the dark arts.
"Hello Hermione long time no see, my darling." He said smiling at me.
"So you chose a wizard. When you could of had me. Well no matter my dear. Well time to die."
It was as if I knew his name: Anakin.
"Anakin, please don't do this." I said pleading
"Too late, my dear. I can see that you've made your choice"
It happened to quickly for anyone not to see. Anakin was in front of me. He then pulled out a dagger and stabbed me in the chest. The pain was indescribable.
I then fell down on the floor. My vision was blurry the last thing I saw was Albus and Gellert coming towards me.
Albus POV
"Hermione!" I shouted.
By the time we reached her, the shade disappeared. I looked over at Gellert he looked shocked and worried.
Professor Dippit was on the floor trying to get Hermione to wake up but nothing worked.
Hermione was then immediately transferred to St. Murgo Hospital. The doctors were trying everything but nothing was working she wasn't responding to any of the medicine they were giving her. I immediately wrote to my brother Aberforth.
Aberforth,
Listen I don't have much time to explain what happened tonight but you must come to St. Murgo Hospital. Hermione's been poisoned by a shade. I know that you are skilled in the art of herbs and the dark arts. Please come if not for me but for Hermione. Bring Arianna I'll watch her while you are attending to Hermione.
Albus
I sent the letter in great haste. Not knowing if the girl I loved would or would not survive the night.
