Chapter 11: The Secret

'She's a witch'. I couldn't contemplate the scene I had just witnessed. Unaware of what to do now I sat down on the bed thinking of all the things that she must have missed out on.

'Hey what happened' it was Harry he must have heard from down stairs.

'Nothing mate, I need some fresh air' I stated a matter of fact way. I had to go see her, I had so many questions. I got her address off Harry and decided to go over. I decided to apparate just outside the estate.

I walked up the footpath unaware of what I should say. I lifted my hand in order to know and paused, I had no idea what to say to her, 'she must have known, she must have gotten that letter from Hogwarts all those years ago'. I had so many questions but no idea in how to voice them. I swallowed hard, in order to remove the lump in my throat and knocked on the door. It wasn't Hermione who opened up but an older version of her 'must be her mum' I thought.

'Is Hermione in?' I said in the calmest voice I could muster.

'Yes upstairs, first door on the left' she gave me a disapproving look and shook her head as though she'd done this many of time. 'Maybe Hermione's brought more men back here than I care to imagine.' I couldn't understand what made me so close to her, I felt like we had a connection.

I walked up the spiral staircase with my heart racing, I seen that her door was open as I reached the landing. I could see she was sat on her bed holding a piece of parchment with tears streaming down her face, she looked so vulnerable.

I stepped a little closer, the floor creaked and Hermione's head lifted up her eyes burning into mine so I said the only thing that came to mind… 'Hey'.

I ran out of the house not knowing what to do, he saw, I knew he had due to his facial expression, how was I to explain something like that. So I did the one thing I was good at… I ran.

When I got home I wandered to my room, hearing mum shout me several times but I ignored her, she must be shocked, I hadn't been in this early since I was 14 years old. Still I wasn't in the mood to talk to her.

I got changed into a pair of shorts I wore for P.E in school and an old t-shirt and crumbled on the bed, I had no idea what to do. My head was spinning, I sat up and looked around the room. I slipped off the bed and kneeled down on the floor, pushing my bed slightly in order to move it, there was a visible piece of the carpet which had been peeled back several times. I peeled it back once more and lifted the floor board up in order to get to what id been hiding down there for the past 8 years.

I pulled up the box and placed it on my bed, putting everything back in the place it was, I climbed back up and sat next to it, I let out a heavy gust of wind when I knew I was about to make it a reality again like it was all those years ago.

Opening the box I looked through it in order to find a very important piece of paper, it was creased and had an old musty smell from being locked away for so long. I picked it up and unfolded it, I could feel my eyes burning with tears, I tried to push them back and read silently to myself:

Dear Miss Granger,

I am pleased to inform that you have been accepted to Hogwarts school off Witchcraft and Wizardry. Enclosed with this letter is a list of all the required items you will need.

I will looking forward to seeing you at Hogwarts on September 1st.

Yours Sincerely

Albus Dumbledor.

The tears in my eyes were already streaming down my face. My life would have been so different if I had accepted the offer. I used to be smart and stubborn now I'm the girl that everyone knows for opening her legs to every one. I used to think that I did it to make myself feel wanted but now I know differently, I remember how excited I was when I got that letter, and so disappointed when mum and dad said I couldn't go. That was around the time I started to go off the rails a bit.

There was a creak just outside my bedroom door and I looked up… 'what's he doing here'

'Hey' he said looking rather sheepish; I tried to hide the letter and stood up.

'What are you doing here?' I folded my arms to show I was being stern.

'I wanted to talk' he said coming closer to me, he didn't seem shocked by what he had witnessed 'maybe he didn't see anything' he seemed extremely calm.

'There's nothing to talk about' I said turning round to avoid giving him eye contact, I breathed deeply my chest was pounding, I could see it rage up and down as my breathing got heavier I was angry yet scared, no-one except my parents know about this.

'I wanna talk about what happened in Harry's room' I closed my eyes, he saw what happened, it was obvious now he wanted to know how it happened and I had know way of explaining that to him.

I turned and raised my eyebrows as though I didn't know what he was talking about.

'Nothing happened in Harry's room'

He walked closer to me and put his hands on my arms, I was forced to look at him like a magnet from his eyes to mine. As I looked into his eyes, I saw no anger or curiosity but an understanding, it felt like we were like that for an hour when it must have been only a minute before he said something that made my heart race

'I know Hermione'

'Know what?'

'I know you're a witch'

A/N: I know it's quite short but I haven't updated in a very long time and due to many emails telling me to update I decided to do that whilst I have a bit more spare time on my hands. Thanks to everyone who's been really supportive and I will be updating again shortly. Thanks for reading :)
