Chapter 13:
It has been a few days after the Dudley incident, and the Hogwarts exchange students have been very popular since then. Not much people have the courage to stand up to Dudley and his sidekicks. He was practically the meanest bully in Smeltings; he had thought himself as the king of the school. Dudley has always thought that many students liked him and that's what made him popular, but he was wrong about that. The reason Dudley was that popular because a lot of people had feared him and did not dare to cross him. Now that someone had stood him up and embarrassed him, no one was afraid of him anymore. Of course, there were people who believed Dudley. And by people, those were Olivia, Piers and Gordon. Only the three of them believed Dudley. Although one of them were starting to have doubts about this incident now. Hermione and Harry were heading to their History class when Dudley and his sidekicks came and confronted him.
"I bet you two are very bloody happy now, how about you two go tell your bloody parents about it?" Dudley mocked, "Oh wait, you two do not have any parents! They're dead!"
Harry was fuming and started to argue with his pig of a cousin, along with Piers while Gordon and Olivia stood next to them. Gordon looked like he was sick of the argument. Hermione turned to look at her ex best friend. Olivia had an apologetic look in her eyes even though the two girls were not on speaking terms. Of course she was apologetic, she should be sorry. Besides the Gryffindors, Olivia was the only person who knew about the death of Mr. and Mrs. Granger. Hermione told her that her parents got into a car crash, but the truth was that they were murdered by Death Eaters. But Dudley didn't know that her parents were dead, unless Olivia told him. Hermione glared at Olivia and pointed an accusing finger at her,
"You! I trusted you! Even though we were not on speaking terms anymore I still can't believe that you told him! How could you?!" Hermione shouted.
"Mia, I-I'm sorry," Olivia whispered.
"Well I don't care about your apology. And only my friends can call me Mia, it's Hermione to you."
With that, Hermione turned around and kept going to her class with Harry trialing behind her, ignoring the whispers that were surrounding her. When she got to class, she was not paying attention anymore, which hardly ever happened at Hogwarts or when she was in her muggle school. She kept thinking about her parent's death. It wasn't until someone nudged her she realized that she had been daydreaming the whole time. Someone passed her a note and told her that it was meant to be for her. She opened the note and started reading it. It said:
Meet me at the nearest park next to here after school.
-G
Hermione furrowed her eyebrows. Who would want to meet her after school? Who wrote the note? Who is G? The bell rang. It was lunchtime. The girl met her friends at the cafeteria and ordered some food.
"Guys? Something happened just now. I got this weird note," Hermione said.
The Gryffindors and the Slytherins stopped what they were doing and snatched the note out from Hermione's hands. If she wasn't so worried right now, she would be giggling about how her friends were acting. She loved how they were all so protective about her, she left loved. Draco read the note out loud.
"So what are you going to do?" Ginny asked.
Hermione sighed and looked at her friends.
"I'm planning to go, but I'm not sure if I'm safe there alone," she replied.
Draco gave his friend a reassuring smile and hugged her which made her felt safe.
"Well that you don't to worry. I'm coming with you," Draco told her.
Hermione gave him a smile which he gladly returned. The girls saw this and smirked.
