HP Digi 3
Both groups were wrong-the loud rumbling noise was neither magic nor an evil digimon. It was just Dudley's stomach. All four sighed with relief.
"So, Hermione, What have you been up to these past few years?" Sora asked. Hermione shot a glance at Harry.
"Well, nothing really." she said carefully. "Just attending classes-"
"Getting perfect grades." Harry reminded her. Sora looked surprised.
"Perfect grades? You?" she said skeptically. "Wow, Herm, What happened?"
"What do you mean, What happened?" asked Harry. "Hermione's gotten perfect grades since she started at Hogwarts. She's the best in our year, you know." Hermione flushed.
"Hermione," said Sora, "What's gotten in to you? You used to be so funny, and so mischievous and-"
"Wait a minute." Harry stopped her. "Are you sure we're talking about the same Hermione here? Hermione's NEVER put one toe out of line. EVER." Hermione sighed.
"What about the time I slapped Malfoy, hmm? Or the time I walked out of Professor Trelawney's class? Or the time I stole materials out of Professor Snape's personal store for the Polyjuice Potion? Or the time-"
"Okay, okay, I understand, Hermione." Harry said, not wanting to hear about the time she had blackmailed Rita Skeeter or SPEW. "But you do spend more time doing homework than you do breaking rules." Hermione completely lost her temper now.
"Oh, I get it!" she shrieked, getting red in the face. "You don't notice anything I do that's felonious, just like you never noticed that I'm a girl!" She turned and stalked off. Everyone else looked at Harry with surprise, and then Sora ran after Hermione. Mimi looked at Harry apologetically and then shrugged, thinking that she couldn't really help Sora out, as she didn't know Hermione at all.
"How about something to eat?" she said, and the room (which still contained Mimi's parents, Nanna, and the Dursleys) seemed to wake up.
"Yes." said Nanna. "Yes, that will do, I suppose. Yes, how about some snacks?" Dudley was quivering with excitement, but his face fell when he saw what Nanna meant by 'snacks.' Mimi, however, dug right in.
"Come on," she told Harry, "it's not poisoned." Harry numbly took a cucumber from the tray of freshly cut vegetables, and Mimi disappeared into her own thoughts. What had happened to Hermione to change her so much?
((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((*))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Sora dashed after Hermione's disappearing figure. "Hermione!" she called. "Hermione, wait!" Hermione stopped dead, shoulders heaving and when Sora caught up with her, she saw that she was crying.
"Hermione," she said gently, placing a reassuring hand on the girl's shoulder. Hermione didn't move. "I'm sure it's not like that-"
"It is!" Hermione insisted. "They think I'm just a nerd. What do they know, I chose it to be like this! I like my life this way!" Sora studied her face.
"But do you?" she asked softly. "Do you?" Hermione's head drooped.
"No." she whispered. "No, I just want-I just want-I want, oh, I want everything! I want to be normal, I want to be weird, I want good grades-oh Sora, What should I do?" Hermione looked lost. Sora thought for a moment.
"An old friend of mine once told me that we only live once. We live only once, Hermione-and we might die tomorrow. Don't have any regrets. Do everything you can, before that privilege is taken from you. Live. This is all you get."
"You remember that?" Hermione said softly.
"Of course." Sora grinned. "It's a beautiful philosophy. It took a while for me to realize the truth in it, but it's the most important thing anyone's ever told me. I still have to thank you for that, Hermione. It's-brought me where I am-and I'm happy. Er-mostly."
"Where are you in life, then, Sora?" Hermione inquired. "How have you been?"
"Great," Sora said, forcing a smile. Hermione tilted her head.
"I know that smile, Sora. What's up?" she said worriedly. At that moment, Piers Polkiss exploded from the forest screaming. Both girls ran in the direction he had come. Piers had left a clear path, scattering twigs and leaves everywhere, so Hermione and Sora followed it, not avoiding one another's gaze but not looking at each other either. Hermione felt nervous. What if it was Voldemort? She looked over at Sora. Why was she getting involved in this?
Sora was pushing her way through the underbrush. She hoped that she would be able to contact Mimi and the others through her digivice if anything happened. She wondered what Hermione was doing here, like Hermione wondered what Sora was doing.
They came to a clearing. Hermione started to step into it, but Sora pulled her back. She was staring into the far side of the clearing. Hermione followed her gaze and gasped. There was a tall figure wearing black robes with his back to them. Hermione was afraid of what she'd see if he turned. She stood in shock, not moving a muscle. Sora stood, eyes narrowed. Who was this mysterious figure?
Then, another dark figure came into view. Sora gasped as she recognized him. She would never forget that silhouette. Devimon! Both girls stood there in shock until Voldemort turned. His red eyes fell upon them and he grinned an evil grin. Sora grasped for her digivice.
"Hello?" she called through the small machine. "Mimi? Anybody? Can anyone hear me?"
"Sora!" Tai's voice cackled through. "What's up?" Sora hesitated.
"It's-Devimon." she said.
"WHAT?!" Tai exclaimed. Voldemort cackled, the evil, insane cackle all villains are well known for.
"Devimon," he said harshly. "What say we take these brats to the digital world? They'd make perfect bait." Devimon raised his arms, and Sora and Hermione found themselves in a very small metal cage.
"Let me go!" Sora demanded.
"Sora, where are you?" Tai's voice faded and so did the forest around them. The girls were now in a dungeon in the digital world, Myotismon's former dungeon, to be exact.
"Help!" Sora cried. "Help us!" Her call faded off into the night...
A/N Okay, this is it. At least it's not a cliffhanger, not really. I'll get the next chapter up ASAP, k? Sorry to have been gone so long...
