A Little Too Late Chapter 2: He's Dead
****************************************
The Beggining of the Year Feast was fairly uneventful. Neville choked on a piece of chicken. Harry accidentally flung his fork at the Slytherin table. OK, maybe it wasn't much of an accident. Ron clung tightly to Hermione's hand, trying to converse with her proved fruitless. He knew something was wrong, but she wouldn't tell him what.
Hermione glanced quickly at the Slytherin table, surprised to see a certain blonde staring at her. She was alarmed and quickly turned away, feeling dissapointed in herself. Halfway through dinner she excused herself to go to the bathroom.
She walked through the empty halls, quivering with every echo. She got the impression that someone was watching her. She peered over her shoulder, but to no avail. She was completely alone. She walked faster and faster until she was nearly running. She stopped when she heard the 'clank' of a suit of armor behind her. She spun around, and her breathing became labored. She was trembling with fear now.
"Who's there?" She asked quietly. The silence was so unnerving. She could hear her soft words echo through the hall, reverberating ever so slightly.
"So, you're with Weasley now huh?" Draco stepped out from behind the fallen suit of armor. "I saw you two holding hands. I should have known. After all, he was the reason you left in the first place." His words were bitter and cut through her already injured heart like a rusty knife.
"Yes. I am with Ron. But you're wrong. He's not why I left." She said hotly.
"Oh sure hes not. Whatever helps you sleep at night Granger."
"Jealous are you? I can see right through this act of yours. Don't screw around, say what you came here to say. I know theres something esle." She was at the breaking point, and Draco was afraid to open his mouth. He stared. "What, come to blame all your problems on me? Come to tell me how everything was perfect before I came along? Just spit it out. Go ahead! Call me a slut! Blame it all on me! I'm done with it! I'm not going to retaliate. At least then I can know that you hate me! Please, just put me out of my misery. I can't do this hot and cold thing. I know I screwed up, you know I screwed up. So why do we keep this up?"
"You're right. You did screw up. But I don't think I can ever stop loving you. Obviously... the feeling isn't mutual. You've moved on. Just know... I never will." His glance lingered on her face and the tears streaming down it. "Goodbye Hermione."
****************************************
Hermione wallowed for the whole first week of school. She was completely overwhelmed and when the weekend came, she basically passed out. She slept for the whole afternoon and all night. She awoke on Saturday morning feeling groggy but a little relieved. She had 2 whole days to do her homework! She chose to drown herself in schoolwork instead of facing the issue at hand. She was nearly done with the homework for the whole first semester. She would stay up all hours of the night and work. By the time she went to sleep, she was too tired to do anything, especially dream.
She went down for breakfast, sitting down across from Ron and Harry. They both looked deep in discussion. She leaned forward to hear their hushed voices.
"Dumbledore reckons the Death Eaters are getting more numerous by the day. Apparently..." He looked around, to make sure no one else was listening. "Apparently Voldemort is planning a large scale attack. One that would wipe out entire cities if carried out effectively. He is doing more research just in case hes wrong, but his spies keep reporting more and more everyday. Snape says that Hogwarts won't be safe for long."
Hermione looked incredulously at Harry. Could it possibly be? Harry would be the one to know, he was in consant contact with Dumbledore and Lupin as well. She shook her head.
"Please, fill me in. I think I must have missed something." Hermione said. Harry opened his mouth to speak when Ginny came running towards them. She reached Hermione and bent over to whisper something in her ear. Hermione's eyes widened and she bolted up from the table. They took off running full speed. The rounded the corner and saw a group of students crowded around something.
"Hermione, this way!" Ginny indicated towards the stairs. There was no way they would make it through that crowd. They would have to go the long way. The reached the owlery and there sat a large package. A piece of parchment sat on top of it. Hermione reached gingerly down and picked it up.
"Hermione, I have to go away. You are probably going to hear some things about me, but none of it is true. Remember that. No one knows the truth and nothing they say is true. Please say that and dont ever forget it. You won't be able to reach me where I'm going. If we are lucky, we may be able to reach eachother in TDW. I don't know how it works over long distances... I'm so sorry for everything that has happened between us and I would take it all back if I could. I have to go. Don't lose faith... You'll understand what I mean soon. Tell Dumbledore NOVEMBER 16. That is so important. Show him this letter, he should understand. I love you and I always will. -Draco"
"Ginny what is this supposed to mean!?" Hermione shrieked. Ginny stood silently, not finding the right words. Hermione bent down and opened the package. Inside was a large plain looking book. On the first page it said in rushed script "This should explain everything. Read between the lines Hermione."
She furrowed her brows. She breathed hard and fast, her hands shaking.
"Ginny, tell me whats going on." Ginny let out a small sob.
"Hermione... oh God... Hermione. Draco is dead."
