A/N - Okay, I finally decided to post the next chapter. YAY!!!! Please review!!!!! OR ELSE!!!! (he he he)
Chapter Nine - Attack!
I walked back up to my dorm. Hermoine was sitting on her bed, waiting for me.
"What did you say?"
"I told him no," I replied. "I mean I don't really love him or anything. I mean he's hot, but I still really like Harry."
"Yeah, I kind of figured that."
I looked into Hermoine's eyes. I could see that she had been crying. I put my arm around her.
"Hermoine, it's all right."
"Stop. Don't remind me." I saw a lone tear fall down her cheek. "Please stop."
"Look, if you ever need to talk to me, I'm here. You know that right?"
"Yeah. Thanks. Another time, okay?" Hermoine attempted to smile.
"Yeah, I'm going to sleep anyway. It's been a long day."

I woke up in the middle of the night. I felt a cold wind blowing against my face. I sat up, and I noticed that the window was open. It was freezing outside, though it was only the beginning of September. I stood up and closed the window. Suddenly, I heard a strange laugh.
I was scared. "Who's there?" My voice was trembling.
I turned around, and I saw a dark figure, laughing. Then all went black.

Dumbledore sat in his office, twiddling his thumbs, as he thought. He spent a lot of time watching the students, seeing who they were friends with, and what they did. He kept a particular eye on Jennifer Brown, the new student. He didn't know why someone had tried to kill her four years ago, but he was sure it wasn't just an accident.
This girl was friends with Harry Potter. Something seemed to be going on between them. Dumbledore liked to keep an eye on him too. After all, Voldemort was certainly after him.
There was just something about that girl… something familiar. What was it? He racked his brain, trying to figure out what it was about her that he hadn't figured out. The solution to the mystery was within his grasp.
Dumbledore took out his pensieve and removed some of his thoughts. As he looked inside the pensieve he gasped, suddenly realizing what she was…
Professor McGonagall ran in gasping for breath. "Dumbledore. Jennifer has been attacked!"
* * *
"I think she's coming to." I heard voices around me.
"Jennifer? Can you hear me?"
That was Dumbledore. I felt a large pain in my leg.
"Ow…" I sighed.
"She's all right." Dumbledore announced. I opened my eyes. "Jennifer. Welcome back. We have all been very worried about you. You were unconscious for three days."
I groaned. I looked around the room. I saw Dumbledore and Madam Pomfrey. Next to my bed were a pile of cards.
"Tokens from your friends and admirers. They are all very worried." Dumbledore smiled. "I hate to have to ask you this, but do you remember anything about your attacker?"
I shook my head. "I woke up because the window was open. I stood up to close the window, and then I saw a dark figure. It could have been anyone. I couldn't see…" I started crying.
"It's all right Miss Brown. We will be taking extra precautions from now on. You should be safe." Dumbledore had a pained look in his eyes. "They can't get you. We'll keep you safe. You'll be able to leave the hospital wing in a few hours. Oh, and you have some visitors."
Hermoine and Harry walked in. "Jen! Are you all right?" Hermoine ran over to me, though Harry stood off to the side looking very uncomfortable.
"I'm much better. How's life been without me?"
"Strange. You missed a lot. Ginny and Lee Jordan got together."
Harry's face went white at the mention of Ginny's name.
"I know," I replied. "I saw them together… the other night. I forgot to mention it. I was thinking about… other things." I looked at Harry, who immediately turned his eyes away.
"Harry, why don't you say something!" Hermoine shouted.
"I'm really sorry Jen." His eyes looked pained too. "I'm really really sorry."
I almost expected him to apologize for what he said the other night, and ask me out again. I don't know what I would have said if he had. But he didn't.
"I'd better go," he said. "I'll see you soon, I guess." Harry almost ran from the hospital wing.
"There's something else, Jen." Hermoine looked down at her feet. "I really don't want to tell you this. Harry is going out with Cho Chang."
A/N - wow this is terrible. I'm messing up everything I believe in. I enjoy messing with everyone's love lives. In case anyone cares, I'm a total R/H, H/G shipper. Anyway, please review. Also tell me what you think about the couples that exist so far. Also, who should Jen get together with? Fred? Harry? Or somebody else? He he he. Please review or I'll get mad. Very mad.
