"But that's not all, is it, Miss Granger? Look at me when I'm talking to you!" He yelled, and she slowly looked up at him. "I can see how much you despise this world. I feel how much you despise me right now. So maybe, your wish will be granted," he spoke like a snake, and raised his wand at Hermione. "Avada Kedavra!"
I apologize if this story is getting hard to follow. I write it out how my mind thinks it will work.
Hermione the Mudblood Princess Chapter 9
"NOOOOOO!" Came a yell from Harry and he ran out of his cell in time to block the curse reaching Hermione. The green light faded away as quickly as it came, and Hermione found her best friend lying still on the floor, eyes wide open, staring at the ceiling.
At the same time Harry was struck by the curse, Voldemort fell to the floor. Then Hermione remembered what Harry whispered to her just moments before.
'I am the last Horcrux, He has to kill me but then he will become mortal and I can kill him. Stay with the Malfoys, do this for me. They'll keep you safe.'
"Harry!" Hermione cried, she knelt down next to him. "Please don't be dead! No! I can't lose you too!"
"Hermione, we must go now." Narcissa said rushing Hermione to her feet but she wouldn't move. "Hermione, please, we'll take him with us."
"All ri - right," she cried, not able to bear the thought of losing another friend. A moment after they collected Harry, Voldemort stood back up, not understanding what just happened.
"Don't just stand there!" the Dark Lord seethed. "Capture them you fools!" His Death Eaters chased after Narcissa, Hermione, and an unconscious Harry. They ran as fast as they could out of the castle.
"Hermione go to the Hog's Head, while I take him back to the Manor. Don't let anyone see you. I'll come back for you as soon as I can." Narcissa told her. "Be careful."
Hermione ran for her life from the Death Eaters, she only hoped Narcissa would be back really soon.
Hermione waited. And waited, and waited some more. She jumped at the sound of a knock upon the door of the room she was hiding in at the Hog's Head.
"Who is it?" She approached the door carefully.
"It's Narcissa," the stranger answered, but it didn't quite sound like the woman. How she wished for a wand.
"I - I don't believe you," Hermione half-shouted, using a chair to block the door. She rested her head to listen; she concentrated and heard whispering from the other side. She was nervous the people outside of her room would break down the door. "Please hurry Narcissa," she muttered to herself. Then out of nowhere a pop. It was Narcissa! She ran to the witch just as the Death Eaters broke down the door. Hermione held tight to the Malfoy matriarch as they apparated out of the room just as a Killing Curse flew passed the spot where the two witches were standing. They knew exactly where to go and what to tell their master.
The witches landed in front of the Manor with a pop. They ran up the hill (not to fetch a pail of water) into the protection of the wards around the Manor. The Dark Lord would have them all killed for escaping with Harry Potter.
"Mother! Where have you been? Why did you bring Potter here?" Draco was furious, but not nearly as much as Lucius was. His own wife went behind his back and brought to his home the boy who could kill the Dark Lord.
"No time to explain, Draco. The Dark Lord will be here any second - " Narcissa stopped as the Manor shook violently. "He's here!"
This is my last update before the 10th. I won't update again until after a week or if I get another idea for this story to write. REVIEW! REVIEW! AND enjoy this small preview of the next chapter:
Hermione was scared. It seemed her Gryffindor traits have vanished like magic, which is quite ironic she thought to herself. She didn't know why Narcissa was protecting her and Harry, but perhaps the witch had no desire for Voldemort to rule any longer. There was always a 'but'; there was always something that prevented them from achieving what they need to do. Hermione would have to worry about it later though. Saving Harry was the first thing, it'd come down to saving him many times before this all happened. The bookworm knew one thing: Harry was the last Horcrux and Voldemort destroyed it himself, which meant he was no longer immortal and can die from a single Killing Curse.
