Ron stared at Hermione with utter disbelief. He didn't know what was going on but he guessed it wasn't good for Granville had gone silent and that was never a good thing. In fact, everyone had gone silent. The only sounds were a small rustle. Harry was waking up. Ron switched his glance to Harry. He seemed to open his eyes, but would not attempt to move. Ron looked around and then focused on Granville. He didn't notice Harry. Ron wiped his head back to Hermione just in time to see two big wizards walk over to her. Ron attempted to run to her aid for she was not awake, but his leg stopped him. He grimaced in pain and looked down. His leg was bleeding, that was the first time he had noticed it. He felt a hand on his shoulder and turned to look in that direction. It was his mother. Her eyes were red and there were tears running down her cheeks. She put her arms around his shoulders and pulled him towards her.
Harry groaned softly. He felt an immense pain in his chest and had to bite his lip to stop from shouting out or moving. He slowly opened his eyes, but not too much so that anyone could see him. As soon as he opened them he saw Hermione, but she was pink. He didn't know what happened but Hermione wasn't moving. He tried to stay still and it was working, Granville didn't see him. He was entirely focused on Hermione. The next second Harry was kicked to the side. A couple more people can forward to have a look at Hermione.
"Get away from her, you scum bags!" Granville yelled as he ran forward, pushing his way through.
"But master don't you see? The girl is the one! She has what you seek!" One of them said.
"I know what she is! Do you think I have no brain? Now, all of you get away from her!" Granville yelled so threatening that Harry himself shook a little.
All of the big coons ran away from Hermione as Granville stepped forward. Harry held his breath, if Granville mad one move on Hermione he would kill him. He couldn't stand losing his best friend once more, but Granville didn't even touch her. He just studied her and then called out to one of his men, "She's not hurt, but I want you to grab Potter Sulnap. I'll grab the girl. Everyone else stay here and look after their friends, I don't want them to try any funny business"
Harry heard a few 'yes's' and then felt himself be lifted off the ground. His quickly shut his eyes and pretended to be limb. He heard a few noises; he guessed it was his friends attempting to come to their aid. Harry clearly heard Teddy's voice calling Hermione's name.
"Potter's heavy" complained Sulnap as soon as they exited the Great Hall.
"Get over it" grumbled Granville, he had no problem. Hermione was light as a feather.
"Where are we going anyway Master?"
"Room of Requirement" Granville answered simply.
"What's that?" asked Sulnap.
"You'll see when we get there," growled Granville.
"Is that soon? Potter is really-" Sulnap started.
Granville spun around, "Would you just shut up! We'll be there when we get there!" Granville then walked on.
Hermione groaned, she had a major headache. It felt like it was going to explode. She slowly opened her eyes, blinking an immense amount as she did. When her eyes adjusted to the light she realized where she was, she was in the Room of Requirement. She sat up, but quickly flew back down to the ground for her head hurt too much.
"Hermione?" asked a voice.
Hermione turned her head in the direction of the voice, "Harry?"
Harry slid over to her, tears in his eyes. He didn't think she was going to wake up. Harry smiled down at her and rubbed her hair away from her forehead, "Hey, how are you feeling?"
"Huge headache, but what are we doing here?" she asked as she looked around the room.
Harry gave her a worried look, "You don't remember?"
"No, all I remember is Neville this morning" Hermione said.
"What were you doing with Neville this morning anyway?" Harry asked.
Hermione looked away, "This is not the time to talk about this. Right now, you need to tell me what happened"
"You seriously don't remember?"
Hermione rolled her eyes, "I already told you I didn't remember!"
"Sorry, I was just checking. Anyway, Granville came," Harry stopped for Hermione gasped, "Everyone was fighting and then bam I'm out like a rock. I don't really remember much after that. I just woke up before we got her and you were just laying there"
Hermione's eyes got as big as saucers, "I think I remember now Harry!"
Hermione sat up, despite the pounding pain in her head, "Harry, I'm the thing he was looking for! That must be why we're here!"
Harry was speechless and just stared at Hermione for a couple of seconds. Ron and Harry left for nothing, what Granville seeked was right at in England, right at home. Hermione continued, "I have a power! A power Granville wants!"
Harry came out of his daze, "Hermione we have to get out of here before Granville comes back!"
Hermione slowly looked around, "Comes back? Where is he?"
"He left a few minutes before you woke up. I think he went back to the Great Hall"
"The Great Hall? Why?" Hermione asked as Harry pulled her to her feet.
"No time for questions, we need to get moving!" Harry said urgently.
Hermione didn't say a word, but she seemed to understand. They walked together to the exited door. They pulled and pulled but it wouldn't budge. Hermione let out a breath of air, "It's no use, they put a spell on it. Do you have your wand?"
Harry franticly checked his pockets, "No nothing, they must have took it. You?"
Hermione didn't have to check. She let out a sigh, "It's up in my bedroom"
Harry backed away from the door and leaned against the wall. Hermione followed suit and slid down it. She pulled her knees to her chin and buried her face in them. Harry also slid down the wall and put an arm around her shoulders.
Hermione lifted her head and looked at Harry. She felt tears go down her checks, "Harry, we're in trouble aren't we?"
"I don't know 'mione, but we have a fight on our hands" Harry replied.
Hermione sighed and laid her head on Harry's shoulder and he in return put his head on her head. They sat there for a couple of before they heard a noise outside the Room of Requirement. They jumped up from the wall and walked up.
"Harry, he's coming back!" Hermione whispered.
Harry slowly nodded his head and stood in front of Hermione, ready to protect her as the door slowly slid open.
I hope you like it! Sorry for the late update!
