Hermione, I'm Scared
by Sasha Warren
Hermione felt relieved and sad at the same time. She slipped into bed. She fell into a dangeorus sleep. Images flashed through her mind. She suddenly sat bolt upright in bed, sweating and angry tears pouring down her face....
"Hermione?" came a voice from the dormitory.
"Yeah?" asked Hermione as Ginny pulled away the curtains
"I heard someone crying in my dorm, are you alright?"
"Yeah, just a bad dream, nothing."
"Oh."
Ginny said goodnight to Hermione and left the room, to return to her dormitory. Hermione pulled the itchy blue sheets around her once again, as if they were a life suport. The dream had already been flushed from her mind like spaghetti being drained. All she cared, was that it was dreadflul.
~*~*~
Hermione awoke the next morning, her heart beating at breakneck speed. She didn't want to go to class, but against her desire to stay in bed and sleep, she got dressed and went down for breakfast. Ugg. Toast. She wasn't fond of toast. She grabbed the bread and spread marmalade on it. She found Ginny and without a word they walked outside to walk around the lake.
"Ginny?"
"Yeah?" said Ginny, her voice muffled by a large muffin she had stuffed in her mouth.
"Oh, I should be happy, but i'm dreadfully sad!"
"How?"
"It's just, Harry."
"I know, he's being a pain..."
"Uhuh"
"Don't worry Hermione! You'll be- WOAH!!!!!" she screamed.
She had slipped and fallen down a large hill so she was half in the lake. Suddenly a slimy green hand grabbed Ginny's freckled ankle.
"Ahhh!!!"
Hermione dashed down the hill, to grab Ginny's ankle, which was bleeding from the forecful fingers cutting into her ankle.
As Hermione held on, her feet began to sink into the mud. She had no more strength. The two girls were pulled into the murky lake.
~*~*~
Ginny awoke. She was in some kind of underwater cove. She expected to see water, but everything was dry. She prodded Hermione who was sleeping loftily in a corner.
"HELP!!" screamed Hermione
"Shhh..." said Ginny as she heard footsteps coming down the cove.
Someone in a black cape came in. He lowered his head and began to polish his wand.
"Who are you?" asked Ginny
The figure lifted it's head and pulled off the hood.
"No!" screamed Ginny
"It-It can't be..." said Hermione as her eyes rolled back in her head and she fainted.
