Chapter 25
" Hey Hermione ? What's wrong babe ?"
Hermione laughs through her gathering tears at your nickname, and as tenderness sweeps through you, you pull her into your strong chest.
" It's just... oh hell ! If Dumbledore doesn't see sorting you as the answer then he must be planning on sending you back !"
Hermione breaks down into tears then, her quivering form clutching your chest, and as you wrap your arms around her, your own fear develops. You like this place, your family has never really cared for you, always comparing you to the perfect teenager of the family, always accusing you of not working hard enough ! You don't want to go back there !
You gently nudge Hermione's face up and stare into her honey eyes.
" I'm not leaving you."
