Hermione glanced at her ring, she was sitting in her room , wearing her favorite PJs, she had just had a row with her parents , after the party was over she had started a fight, screaming at them how could they move the wedding date without even telling her, she screamed at them for ruining her life, making Hermione's mother burst into tears, she felt guilty but she was too mad to care, she had then huffed to her room, changed into her favorite PJs, and cried herself to sleep.
She woke up about an hour ago, and sat, staring at her ring ever since, she glanced at her watch, it read 12 pm, she had never woke up that late in her life, but at the moment, she couldn't care less, she sighed and went into her bathroom, and started the shower, she stripped and let the hot water burn her skin, she felt so….nothing, she didn't like it, she was supposed to feel mad, betrayed , sad, anything, but what she felt was nothing, a big whole of nothingness inside her heart, it wasn't just that she was being forced to marry, it was the fact that her parents, her own flesh and blood, had absolutely no regard, for her wishes or her dreams, she was yanked from a life where she could do anything, be anything, and marry the person her heart desires, and thrown in a life where she had no say in anything, she grudgingly admitted to herself that she had been feeling that way for a while, she had ignored it, but last night's announcement was the last straw, everything inside her exploded, and the fact that she had to hold it all in until the guests left, only contributed in making her feel worse, she stepped out of the shower and stared at her foggy reflection, this was her now, a foggy image controlled by someone else with no brains to decide for herself, she stepped closer to the mirror and wiped the fog, she saw her face, she was crying, her bright blue indigo eyes, were crying, she wiped her face, and decided to leave, she wanted to go to a place where she felt free.
She wrapped a towel around herself, she walked back into her room, stomped into her closet, she wore a pair of jeans and a tank, she put her hair in a pony tail, and started packing, she stuffed all her old clothes in her bag, she walked past the mirror and something sparkly on her finger caught her attention, the ring.
She tried taking it off, but it wouldn't budge, she started crying, trying to take it off her finger, it felt as though the ring was wrapped around her neck, instead of her finger, it was trying to suffocate her, she was sobbing uncontrollably now.
"Hermione!" Blaise exclaimed, rushing to his sobbing sister and sweeping her in to his arms, she didn't try to hug him back, she just wanted the blasted thing OFF, she tugged at it hysterically.
"Shh" Blaise tried to calm her
"Get it off, get it OFF" screaming at Blaise.
"It has a sticking charm on it, only Draco can take it Hermione, please calm down"
"I WANT IT OFF, OFF, NOW OFF, I can't calm down I want it off" Hermione's sobs subsided, in her brothers arms, she buried her face in his shoulder.
"Please get it off me, please Blaise" Hermione cried quietly against Blaise's shoulder, he held her tighter, and whispered soothingly in her ear.
"We'll get it off, its okay, we'll get it off, I promise, shh, calm down" he continued to murmur softly in her ear until she went completely still in his arms.
"I wanna go home" she said in a small voice as he laid her on her bed
"You are home" he said walking away to get her a glass of water, but she grabbed his arm.
"Where are you going?" she asked
"To het you water"
"I don't want water, stay" she tugged at his arm, and he lied down next to her on the bed, he wrapped his arm around her shoulder, and she laid her head against his chest, he heard her breath steady, and knew she had fallen asleep, he pulled her closer, he tried to fight sleep, but it overcame him and his eyes fluttered close.
When Blaise woke up, he was lying in bed alone, he glanced around the room, and found Hermione sitting on a chair facing away from him ant to the window.
"Ana" he called hesitantly.
"I don't want people to call me Ana, I want them to call me Hermione, I am Hermione, Ana, is someone I don't want to meet, or be, she is not me. She is a stranger" Hermione whispered
"Her-" Blaise started but Hermione cut him off.
"I am sorry for exploding before, but I couldn't……it was too much for me, you have to understand, I may act like it is all nice and dandy but it is not, I tried to be Ana, but I couldn't, I am Hermione, I want to be healer and marry at 21, and marry someone I love, I want to have twins, a boy and a girl, I want the girl named Zaria, and the boy named Brendon, and I want to live happily ever after, I DON'T want my life planned out for me, I want my dreams back" Hermione had stood up during her speech and now stood looking at the garden, from the window.
" Hermione I wish I could wave my wand and all the problems would disappear, but I can't, I can't make you forget your dreams and I can't make the marriage contract disappear, you are my baby sister, and I want to protect you, but I can't, I love you very much Hermione , you have no idea how much, but I can't do anything to help you, the marriage is binding, try to give Draco a shot, I know he can be a bastard sometimes-at this Hermione snorted- but underneath all the crap, he has a good heart, and if anyone can find it, its you"
" you sound like Sofia, she told me the same thing, the other night, I tried but I can't, the minute I see the bastard's face I want to break his nose, wouldn't be the first time" Hermione said, muttering the last part under her breath.
"What do you mean 'wouldn't be the first time'?" he asked.
Hermione laughed "I broke his nose in third year" her laughter increased remembering the incident.
"That was you!! Oh my god. He came to the commons with a broken nose, telling us how he was trying to stop the hippogriff from harming a first year, and how he battled with it, and came out with nothing but a broken nose" Blaise started laughing at the memory, and Hermione laughed at the crap Malfoy had come up with.
"Oh god I can't wait to rub it in his face, I will never let him forget it" Blaise said calming down.
"Blaise, I am going home for a while" Hermione said
"What are you talking about, you are home" Blaise said with a look of confusion on his face.
"No, my other home, I just need to be alone for a while"
"I hate to remind you, but what about the wedding" Blaise asked.
"I don't know, I'll come back tomorrow or the day after, I just need sometime alone"
"Sure" Blaise said, giving her a hug.
"Tell mum and dad will you"
"No problem"
Hermione picked up her bag and walked to the fireplace, "the Grangers!", and in a swirl of green fire, she was gone.
"Blaise, you can't possibly be serious, I' go to her right now, and talk some sense in to her" Rudolf Zabini said walking to the fire place, but his son grabbed his arm.
"I wouldn't do that, she was hysterical when I found her today, and you have to leave her alone for a while" he said
"But the wedding is in two days" Rudolf said
"he is right, Rudolf" Gemma said "we have to leave her alone, she is not used to our way of life, she used do whatever she wanted, whenever she wanted it, but now suddenly she finds herself forced into a marriage, let her cool off, she'll come back"
Hermione was working out in her training bra and shorts, when she suddenly heard a thumping on the door, she went to open it, and was blinded by the amount of lights that started the minutes she opened the door.
She stood motionless for a while before she clapped the door shut; she rested her back against the door and groaned when she remembered her attire.
"Oh boy" she grumbled as she moved to shut all the windows.
Sorry for the long wait guys, I have been depressed since I broke up with my boyfriend, and couldn't get two words down, this chapter is not exactly a cheery one but it had to be done, because I didn't want to have it all sunshine and daisies, because its not, anyway, I promise I will update within a week, if I get more than 25 reviews!
Anyway, I promised to dedicade this story to all those who were 1st 5th 10th and so on, but I decided I wont, I will dedicate this story to all those who reviewed from the beginning till the now, and I will do a similar thing after the 15th or 20th chapter, the more your name is repeated the more of this story is dedicated to you, because the number of times you sre repeated is the number of times you reviewed giving me the drive I need, to continue this story, THANK you all.
If that is not all of you, I apologize, I copied as many as I could, I could have forgotten one or two, please don't forget to review!
