A Sirius Dilemma
"...And she's smart and hot and - " Ron ranted on and on to Harry who really didn't care. They were leaving the Charms hallway then when something floating caught Harry's eye. It was up maybe two floors on the Charms level, and mixture of brown and red. Harry squinted to get a better look at it, and gasped in astonishment
"Ron!" Harry shouted at him, "It's Hermione,"
Ron looked around and smiled, "Nice one Harry. You know when it comes to Hermione, I get excited," Ron said, laughing.
"No! I am serious, Ron!" Harry said pointed to where Hermione was floating. Ron looked but before he could see her, she fell as if she wasn't there.
"Harry," said Ron really peeved. "There is nothing there."
Harry sighed, "I know what I saw and it really wasn't pretty, so --- " Harry suddenly spun around, grabbed Ron by the arm and dragged him up the stairs to the Charms hallway.
Susan stood over Hermione's limp body. Blood pooled around her, staining her robes and hair. Susan shrugged her shoulders and flipped her hair and turned to leave.
"Hold it, Missy," a voice sounded from the darkness. Susan spun around lighting her wand, pointing in the direction of the voice, but all she could see was black.
"Who's there?" Susan said asked, slightly scared.
"Out of the blackness, I arise to bring judgement on those who mess with my people. It is I √ queen of the Blackness!" Susan lowered her wand, and a questionable look crossed her face.
"Cho? Is that you?"
The darkness stirred and a shocked Cho walked out saying,"Oh I was hoping you didn't know who I was, damn," Cho cursed, snapping her fingers.
"Um... not to question your sanity or anything , but I thought you hated Hermione?" Susan asked, quizzically.
"Oh, Well," Cho said glaring at her, "No bitch messes with my bitch unless it's me bitch! Oh yeah! Two galleons for me!
Cho-Chang!"
Susan looked around, "Where's Cho Chang? Where?"
Cho rolled her eyes, "No, not Cho Chang but... Never mind. Be prepared to fell the wrath of Black!"
"But your name is Grey!" Susan said annoyed.
Cho ran her fingers through her hair and muttered, "Do I need to sing my theme song every time I say 'Wrath of Black'? Oh well!" Cho pulled out her i-Pod and pushed a few buttons and muttered something under her breath. A strange beat filled the
room and Cho started dancing and then sang:
Black! Black! I'm so Black!
Cho! Black! I'm Cho Black!
NOT GREY! Cause Greys so LAME!
But Cho Black! Cho Raven Black!
Cho struck a pose and smiled the shocked expression had returned on Susan's face. Cho scoffed and said, "Fine I''ll just destroy you instead!" Susan readied herself, and before she could cast anything, Cho reached in her messy bun, and grabbed a chopstick that was holding her hair up and threw it. Well it wasn't a chopstick, it was a knife and it hit Susan on
the shoulder, causing her to drop her wand.
"Hey, what the hell was that for?!" Susan said..
"Oh! That was to make time to do this!" Cho said pulling out her other chopstick, which happened to be her wand. Muttering: "Accio,"under her breath, and the wand and knife flew back to her opened hand. Susan let out squeal as the knife was pulled out, and looked at Cho angrily.
"Hey! What was..." Susan finally noticed Cho's hair, which had fallen down now. " Wow! I love your hair! It's soooooooo HOTT!" Susan said in awe.
Cho looked at her straight silky jet black hair. "Seriously? You think this is hot?"
"Yeah!" Susan said with widen eyes of joy.
Cho's face turned fierce as she said, "I hate hot! Gah!" As she was speaking Susan charged at her and swung at her, but Cho, who grown up in a trailer park, dodged and closed in on her. "Oh yeah! Go me! Go me! Go me... I don't think so Missy," Susan started to get up.
"Time for me to beat another Gryffindor," Susan said through clenched teeth.
"Hahaha,"Cho laughed, "I don't think so! Horserous!" A sliver light shot out of the tip of her wand and hit Susan square in the chest. Susan collapsed almost at once, her eyes rolling to the back of her head. Her body instantly started to shake and she looked like she wanted to scream but she couldn't. Cho smiled and started to chant 'Go me' again, until a voice stopped her saying,
"What's going on here?" Cho spun around to see Conor standing by Susan and Hermione's limp bodies, holding Susan's bag.
"Oh no!" Cho said slightly shocked that someone saw her commit a crime, "A witness. Oh, well. Knockne!" Another sliver light came from her wand, but Conor easily deflected it and with out speaking sent a spell at Cho.
Cho, who wasn't expecting this, got hit hard with it. She was knocked to the ground with a thud and her wand flew at Conor, who caught it, easily.
"Hey what was that for?" Cho asked, struggling to stand.
Conor simply ignored her and walked over to his girlfriend," Hmm...Horror Curse right?" Conor said raising his eyebrows.
"So what if it is?" Cho said, finally standing with her hands on her hips.
"Nice," Conor said, bending over Susan to examine her more. "Looks like a good one too. But still nothing I can't handle," he mumbled the counter curse and Susan calmed down, her eyes shutting peacefully. Conor then went over to Hermione and
winced. "We'll have to hurry up. it seems that we don't have a lot of time," he said flicking his wand and a stretcher appeared under Hermione lifting her up.
Conor started pushing her down the hallway when a voice said, "What happened to her?" Conor froze and turned to see a angry Ron and Harry close behind.
"Move Ron! I need to get her to the Hospital Wing!" Conor said, as Ron stepped in his way, but Ron didn't move.
"Andreas!" Ron growled, "What the hell happened to my girlfriend?!"
"Look," said Cho, "She got beat up by someone! Okay! NOW MOVE!" Cho pushed him aside, to allow Conor to move her.
Conor got her to the staircase and started to take her up the steps. Ron and Harry followed, but didn't get to close, for Cho's glare kept them away.
When they finally go to the Hospital Wing, Madame Pomfrey rushed over, "What do we have here? She said, beside Conor.
"Seventeen year old Hermione Granger, Gryffindor. About 5'5 and 150 pounds. Severe punctures to the stomach and deep
cut on her right leg. Fell about fifty feet to hard rock floor, ma'am." Conor replied promptly.
Madam Pomfrey squinted at Conor, I don't remember you working here, do I? Oh well never mind. Fetch me my ointments," She pointed to her desk where a box sat on top of her desk.
Conor walked over to the desk and grabbed a wooden box for Madame Pomfrey. "Thank-you, Sonny. Now if you all of you would kindly wait over there..."
Cho sat on the bench next to Conor, watching Harry comfort Ron as they paced. 'Whatever. If they want to tire themselves by walking, then so be it!' she thought taking out her i-Pod and turning it on. 'Hm, I think I'll listen to this one' Cho
thought picking a song. Music filled her head as she started singing, "Un siglo llevo en soledad Atrapada queriendo esca.."
What?" She shouted at Ron who was staring at her.
"Okay!, first of all, my girlfriend is dying and all you care about is singing? Second of all what are you singing?"
Cho stood up and replied in a loud voice, "Look my music is my business and I do care about her but my music keeps me
calm ok?" Cho sat down and muttered under her breath.
"No estА ese Genio Atrabado? " (Isn't that Genie in a Bottle?"
Cho looked shocked and asked, "©Usted sabe espaЯol?" (You know Spanish?)
Conor nodded saying, "Si y quiero personalmente Christina Aguilera," (Yes and I personally like Christina Aguilera)
Cho laughed and looked at Ron, "El de es retardado clase no es el? (He is kind of retarded isn't he?)
Conor looked at him and started to say something but...
"Okay! Guys stop it! I don't know what you're saying and it really pisses me off!" Ron shouted, face as red as his hair. Cho opened her mouth to say something, but Madame Pomfrey came walked out of the curtained area.
"Is she alright?" the four said together, worriedly.
"I did every thing I could but..." She started.
"Is she dead?' Ron asked holding back tears. Even Cho looked a bit sad about Hermione.
"No," she said finally, "But she is in a coma that I can't wake her from. I'll stay to watch over her and you go back to your classes now,"
"Can I see her?" Ron asked. The healer shook her head and lead them to the doorway where they almost ran into Romilda Vane.
"Yes Miss Vane?" the healer said, looking at her.
"Um...McGonagall wants to see you Conor and you Harry," she said scared. Conor sighed and walked out to the stair cases with a questioning look, muttering under his breath..
"About what?" Harry asked following her.
"You don't know?" she said shocked stopping to look at him, "Don't you read The Prophet or The Quibbler?"
'Um...Well...No," Harry said truthfully.
"Well I am so sorry," She said laying a comforting hand on his shoulder.
Harry brushed it off and asked more peeved, "About what?"
She looked at the ground and gave a straight answer, "Sirius Black he got caught," Harry stared at her and she started to walk again but Harry just stared as she walked further.
Cho walked into the dark hospital wing and as quiet as she could, walked into Hermione's room. It took forever since she knocked down two vases and an umbrella rack, but she finally got there. She bit her lip and looked at Hermione's peaceful body and thought,
I shouldn't
But she's my friend! Said a little voice in the back of her head.
But Dumbledore won't close it off again.
But I have to help.
Fine, Cho closed her eyes and thought nothing but the walls closing her power off and brought them down. Voices filled her head instantly, but she just focused on Hermione. The voices didn't stop, but they were drowned out by a scream. Cho plugged her ears, but it didn't stop. Pain filled her body as she collapsed.
Cho opened her eyes and looked around. She was in a pure grey world. The ground was soft and a breeze blew steadily,
Cho shivered, but she wasn't cold. "Cho?" a soft, echoed voice said. Cho whipped around, wand out and saw Hermione staring back. Cho started to say something but felt some force pull her mental self else where as she blacked out.
Hermione was shocked. She could have sworn that she had seen Cho there. She shook the thought out of her head as she studied the area around her. "I could be on another plane, but which one?" she thought aloud her voice echoing from the grey off walls.
"It's not a plane," a woman's voice said behind her. Hermione turned slowly, not surprised or scared that a woman was
behind her, instead she was...unfeeling. The woman had a warm smile with ginger hair that shone brightly from the "sun"
overhead. Hermione smiled back and looked into her eyes, which were a familiar green.
"Wait a second! Aren't you..." Hermione started, heat beating quicker by the minute.
"Yes, Hermione. I am Lily Potter," Lily said.
"But if your Lily...then...Am I dead?"
Lily's smile slipped away, "Well Hermione, what you have to know is..."
