High School: Heaven Or Hell: Chapter Twelve:

Hermione slowly woke up the next morning. Her head was pounding and the sunlight coming through the blinds was beaming in her face.

"Mm," she moaned slowly sitting up in her bed.

"How'd I get here?" she asked herself as she looked around her room. She then slowly got out her bed and walked out her room. As she walked her legs felt wobbly. She made her way downstairs where she heard someone in the kitchen. When she got to the door, she saw Harmony making herself some cereal. She didn't notice her sister until she was heading out the kitchen door.

"Mm!" she exclaimed with a mouthful of Frosted Flakes.

"OMG! Hermione, you scared the shit out of me!" she said after swallowing.

"Sorry 'bout that," Hermione said softly.

"How you feel?"

"Okay I guess. How did I get in my bed? How'd I get in the house?"

"Oh," Harmony took another spoon of flakes, "Dad brought you and Harry here. You two were soakin' wet and- "

"Wait, Harry's here?" Hermione cut her off.

"Yeah, dad figured that since it was so late, we should let him stay the night." Harmony answered.

"Where is he?" Hermione asked almost desperately.

"Um, in the den, why?" she stated eating another spoonful. But before she could get an answer, Hermione raced out the room. She walked swiftly walked down the hall until she reached the door of the den. The door was slightly opened. She opened the door a little wider and spotted a figure asleep on the couch.

"Harry!" she gasped quietly. Her hand covered her mouth as he stirred in his sleep.

'OMG! He's really here!' she thought. She watched him roll over in his sleep.

"What are you doin'?" Hermione jumped from the door and turned around to find Harrold be hind her.

"Um… uh… nothing" she answered trying to catch her breath, "God! Harrold you scared me!"

"Well sorry I didn't mean to. I just wanted to know why you were peepin' in on him." Harrold apologized. Then a voice behind spoke making Hermione jump and nearly fall on her wobbly legs.

"Who's peepin in on who?" Harry yawned.

"Oh God, ya'll gotta stop doing that" Hermione gasped. She looked at Harry. His hair was messier than usual and he didn't have his glasses on.

"Stop doin' what?" he asked.

"Scarin' her" Harrold answered.

"Oh well sorry. And good morning" he stated.

"Good mornin'" Harrold greeted.

"Um, excuse me. If anyone needs me I'll be in my room," Hermione ran into her room and closed the door. The boys watched her quizzically, looked at each other and shrugged.

"I think there's still water in her head," Harrold joked. Harry chuckled looking at the door of Hermione's room.

Hermione spent most of her day locked in her room, only coming out when she had to use the bathroom. Harry was sort of disappointed that he didn't get to see her again before he left later that morning. While in her room, Hermione had spells of banging her head on her desk repeatedly. She told herself how stupid she was to have gone to the docks. She something bad was going to happen, yet she went anyway. She was also told by Harry not to go.

"Harry" she whispered. If it wasn't for him she probably be dead. She pounded her head on the desk harder.

During the day everyone pretty much left her alone. Harmony had an appointment that day with her ob/gyn. (Mrs. Granger was taking her) Mr. Granger had to work and Harrold was in his room lifting weights and studying for a driver's test. So she was free to waddle in her sorrow. After banging her head until she got a headache. She sat on her bed staring out the window. Every now and then a car would drive down the street or see a squirrel climb up or down a tree. It must've been around 3pm when Harrold came knocking at the door. He didn't even wait for her to answer when he came in the room.

"Hey, 'Moine, I'm about to make some Ramen noodles, want some?" he asked.

"No thanks" she answered quietly.

"You sure?"

"Yeah, thanks anyway," she said not taking her gaze off the window.

"Alright. You okay?" he asked trying to read her expression on his sister's face.

"Yeah, I'm okay" Harrold eyed Hermione for a moment then left the room.

Around 6pm, Hermione heard someone coming up the stairs and down the hall. She was really hoping that whoever it was would pass by her closed door. But she must've wished too hard because within minutes, Harmony came busting thru the door with bags in her hands.

"Hey Hermione, oh my God, you should've came with us today!" she exclaimed walking over to Hermione's bed, sitting down.

"Me and mom found out that the baby's a boy! Oh, Ron's gonna be so happy! I can't wait to tell him!" Hermione could tell that her sister was ecstatic about what she just found out. She had that expectant mother glow and she rubbing her now 5 month pregnant belly.

"Oh and after my appointment, me and mom went shopping for him. We got the cutest clothes!" Harmony squealed pulling out little outfits in blue, red, green, and yellow. With fire trucks, puppies, and Power Rangers on them.

"Aren't they just the cutest!" Harmony exclaimed.

"Yeah, the cutest," Hermione said much less excited. Harmony noticed.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"Nothing."

"Hermione," she said sternly.

"What! I'm fine, okay," Hermione stated looking at the carpeted floor.

""Hmmm… well I'm tired. I think I'll go take a nap." Harmony got up, placing the baby clothes back in the bag, and walked out the room closing the door behind her.

Around 7:30, Hermione started to smell Mrs. Granger's cooking form her room. She thought that the smells would make her hungry, but they didn't faze her. When she was done cooking, Mrs. Granger came upstairs and into Hermione's room.

"Hermione, dinner's ready"

"Not hungry," she stated still staring out the window.

"What's wrong?" Mrs. Granger asked.

"Nothing just not hungry. Had a big, late lunch to day since I didn't eat breakfast." Hermione answered.

"Oh well, are you sure you okay?" she asked again.

"Yeah I'm fine."

"Okay, I'll leave you a plate if you get hungry," Mrs. Granger left the room closing the door behind her. Hermione let out a sigh. She was glad that she didn't bombarded her with questions or tell her that she needs to eat something. Though she did feel remorse when she lied about lunch. She wasn't even planning on going downstairs to eat that plate Mrs. Granger was going to fix for her. After another sigh, she got up and went to hop in the shower.

"Hey where's Hermione?" asked Mr. Granger.

"She said she had a late, big lunch be cause she didn't eat breakfast," she answered sitting at the table.

"So she's not eating?" asked Harmony.

"Not until later, I think," her mother responded.

'That's funny she never did eat lunch today' Harrold thought. He didn't say anything though. He knew it would just get the family fired up and go after her.

Upstairs, after her shower, Hermione placed a soft music cd in her radio, turned off her lights, laid down on her bed, and soon dozed off to sleep.

Okay I no some of you might be mad at me for not updating since April. I really have no excuse for why I didn't update from 4/15 to 5/26. I started writing it but stopped. Then I had to go to Michigan for the summer and I forgot my notebook with the story in it and plus I had limited time on the computers up there. Then when I got home a few weeks ago, I couldn't think of what to write. Then the 2nd' week I was here I had band camp all day. Last week I finished writing it and started typing but got a little lazy. But now after about 3 months I updated. I'll try to update faster from now on. But bare with me, school starts Monday and I'll have band practice and what not. Thank you so much for being sooo patient with me.
