We grabbed some quills and parchment and rushed to the library. Our Hogwarts library, unlike the Muggle libraries, was HUGE! Rows and rows of bookshelves filled from top to bottom with books. Magazines, textbooks, newspapers, fictions... Books of different subjects and sizes. There were also tables and chairs scattered in the corners of the library.
I grabbed The Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Protection from a shelf nearby and sat down on the nearest chair. Ron piled books on the desk and sat down to start on his essay. I could see that he really wanted to spend the day with me tomorrow because he didn't even complain like he usually does. I smiled and started writing.
[Hermione's POV]
Third-person
Hermione and Ron worked in silence. Hermione yawned and stretched after an hour as she finally finished her essay. Ron looked at his essay in frustration. He still got another five inches to go! 'I need a break,' he muttered and stood up. Hermione smiled at him sympathetically as he walked towards the exit, but quickly stopped when she heard a familiar drawl.
'Well, well, well. Look what we have here. Weasel and his Mudblood girlfriend.'
Hermione cringed and hoped that it wasn't the person she was thinking of as she turned around. There, leaning against the bookshelf, was Draco Malfoy.
'Malfoy! What in the name of Merlin are you doing here?' Hermione hissed.
'Reading, obviously. I thought that you were not as dumb as Weasel and the Boy-Who-Just-Won't-Die.'
Hermione opened her mouth and was just about to shoot back an insult when Ron yelled, 'DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH MY GIRLFRIEND, FERET, OR ELSE I PROMISE THAT YOU WON'T SEE THE DAYLIGHTS EVER AGAIN!'
'Looks like your knight in shining armour is here, Granger,' Malfoy smirked. Ron marched over and pointed his wand at Malfoy. 'One more word, Malfoy...' he growled threateningly. Malfoy's upper lip curled. 'You can hold a wand? I'm surprised. I thought that nothing can get into that thick skull of yours, Weasley.'
Before Hermione could cry, 'Ron! No!', Ron shouted, 'Stupefy!' and a beam of red light shot out of his wand. Malfoy dodged the spell and ran towards the exit, weaving in and out of the bookshelves. 'Coward!' roared Ron as he chased Malfoy. As Malfoy dodged another spell, Hermione saw that his eyes were glinting maliciously, and she suddenly understood what he was about to do. 'Ron, stop!' she cried, but instead of stopping, Ron shot a Stunning Spell at Malfoy.
Malfoy crouched down at the last moment so that the spell hit a bookshelf. Crash! The bookshelf toppled over. Hermione stared in horror as the bookshelves started falling over like dominoes. When the last bookshelf fell with a crash, the library fell silent. Torn pages were everywhere, and books were lying on the ground. Ron hastily Levitated the bookshelves but stopped when there was a shriek.
'What did you do, you wretched child?' Madam Pince screeched. Ron tried to blame it on Malfoy, but Madam Pince grabbed Ron and marched him out of the library. 'There goes Prince Charming, Granger. Doesn't seem that he's very smart, do it?' Malfoy drawled. Hermione wanted to slap him silly, but instead, she followed Madam Pince, ignoring Malfoy's snarky remarks.
Hermione stopped in front of Professor McGonagall's office and waited for a few minutes before Ron flung the door open, Madam Pince hot on his heels. 'Ron, what-' Hermione didn't get the chance to finish her sentence because Professor McGonagall came out of her office and yelled at Ron, 'Fifty points from Gryffindor and detention for two months starting from tomorrow!' Ron's jaw was clenched as he marched towards the library.
The footsteps died away after a few minutes and the door was closed. Hermione stood glued to the ground. She was in shock. The last time McGonagall gave out punishes as severe as this was when Hermione was in First Year when she helped Harry sneak Norbert the Dragon away.
'Looks like Prince Charming got his punishment.' Hermione jumped and saw Malfoy emerging from the shadows. She growled and pounced at him, shouting, 'If it wasn't for you, Feret, he wouldn't get these punishments at all!' Malfoy grabbed her wrists and pinned her to the wall. Panting slightly, he drew out his wand and pointed it to her neck. 'Shut up, Mudblood, or you'll be sorry.' 'What are you going to do, kill me?' Hermione snarled. Malfoy tilted his head to the right and smiled evilly. 'That's not a bad idea, Granger.' He moved his wand slightly and whispered, 'Avada Kedavra,'
There was a flash of green light and Hermione knew no more.
Okay, okay, calm down folks, Hermione is NOT dead. Like it? Hate it? Please review!
