A/N:I am SOO sorry that it has taken me T H I S long to get my act
together and make a new chapter. Okay so I was having trouble coming up
with what would happen and then I decided to screw it but thankz to my
reviewers, I was cleaning out my e-mail in which I have this account under
and found some reviews I hadn't read and I couldn't believe that people
were still reading and much less waiting for me to reply. Ther one about
using this story as their reading homework or whatever really got me
started thinking. So I went through last night and re read my whole story
and if I could only spell or use proper grammar I would have to say this is
a pretty good story line..well it's not common I guess which I like. So I
typed away today and wouldn't stop till I hit a thousand words. Sorry if
you think this sucks... Flame me if you think the need arises. Any ways
here it goes and enjoy. Oh if you want to e-mail me use
CTRsoccer@hotmail.com That is my main e-mail address.

Forgive Me
"Where have you been?" Voldemort asked in a snake like voice, which scared Hermione to a dead stop.
Pausing to think of an excuse that would still allow her to go by herself at times and still save her from his temper, "My lord," she said bowing, "I am sorry that I took so long but I had lost track of time I am sorry and beg for you to forgive me."
"And what were you doing which created this forgetfulness?" Raising from his seat and walking over to her.
"I am sorry but I was trying on some clothes and then some jewelry and my mind just happened to slip." she backed up slowly towards the wall.
"I do not care for these excuses. I had thought that you left me to go back to those who wanted to kill you." He grabbed her arm painfully tight, "what do you think that I thought when I finished my dinner and there was not word from you?" He jerked her arm and forced her to follow him.
"Please, please. I'm so sorry." Opening the door to her room he shoved her in there.
"You should have thought of that before you decided not to return." His red eyes were glowing from his anger.
"Please sir don't hurt me." Hermione pleaded as she cringed into a tight ball.
Realizing that she was scared of him did not please him as he thought it would. Instead it unsteadied him in that he could feel this way towards anyone much less a common mudblood. It was not the same feeling that Severus felt for her no but it was more like what a father would feel for his daughter.
"Sir?" came a meek squeak from Hermione, bringing him back to the present and out of his musings.
"Stay in here until you are summoned." He said stomping out of the room and slamming the door. He could not let himself get attached. He could not let himself feel this way for someone with un pure blood, it just went against everything he believed. He could use her but he would not care enough for her that he'd be worried about her well being if she showed late, he could allow himself to worry about if she had run off but he had crossed a line that he thought that he would never cross. Voldemort went to bed that night knowing that he did indeed have a heart.
Hermione got up and went to her bed where she laid down and cried till she could cry not more then she took a bath before retiring for the night.

Harry ran back to the castle and to the gargoyle that stood in front of Dumbledore's office. "Jelly beans, carrot cake, banana splits!" he shouted many more until the door open halfway through peanut butter.
"I'm afraid not. I decided to go with something that I thought none would guess this year." Said Dumbledore as he led Harry in. "Now Mr. Potter, what may I do for you?" he settled himself into his plush overstuffed chair as he gestured to one on the other side of his desk for Harry.
Without sitting down Harry started, "Sir, I saw Hermione! I saw her! She was here and I tried to talk to her but she ran from me. I know it had to be her. She disappeared right when I was about to catch her."
"Yes yes calm down Harry and please have a seat. I think I need to tell you some things about Miss. Granger. As you are aware of her summer did not go all to well." Looking up at Harry for his reaction to this Dumbledore continued, "Now you see she did not feel as if she belonged here and she ran off as you most likely know. Part of the blame for that lies on me and I am most sorry for that. Well Voldemort has gotten a hold of her. But from my understanding she was told things which made her seek revenge on me and my supporters and devised a plan in which to get back at me. There was only one problem, she could not go through with it once she had started it. Harry I do not wish to hear of this from anyone else nor do I wish you to speak of this with anyone including me after this. Do you understand me?" Giving him a look from over his half moon glasses.
"Yes sir of course. I just want to know for sure that Hermione is safe."
"Safe she is not but she is alright. Do not worry about her she will be fine. If you see her again do not chase after her. If she talks to you then make sure she knows that you understand her decision but you wish for her to return. I want her to know that she is welcomed back here and that we want her to return as soon as she can."
"Yes sir I will do my best." Harry got the feeling that that was all he would get out of Dumbledore and he got a lot more than he thought he would so he was satisfied for now. Getting up and biding the headmaster good night he left for his dorm.
~~~~~(Can't forget Severus!)~~~~~~~
Walking into Hermione's bedroom and seeing the bed made and all her clothes in perfect order brought a tear to his eye. A house elf had to have been through here he knew but he still could not help and think that it was just like her to be neat and orderly no matter what. Sitting down on her bed he thought of all the times that they shared together in the short amount of time they had. Remembering Wendy's and learning how muggle's clothes are much more appealing than wizard clothes. Realizing that it had been over an hour of him just sitting there he got up and left to his room for the night. "Sweet dreams Hermione, I hope your well. And Good Luck."
