When The Sun Rises

Chapter 2-

The Top Floor

Hermione couldn't stop thinking about that day at the mall. It was now the second day of summer vacation, Saturday. She just couldn't stop wondering why she would see Draco Malfoy, she knew it was him. She felt this indescribable feeling, a feeling that told her something wasn't right. Hermione couldn't stand it any longer, she had to find out the truth. She couldn't stand living in wonder anymore.

Hermione walked downstairs to find her parents shopping once again, they left a note Saying so. Hermione left another note next to theirs saying she would be at the library. She put on some muggle clothes, and headed towards the library down the block. When she went into the library, everything was as it always was. Everyone knew her, since it was practically her second home, they all said hello and smiled at her. Hermione usually felt safe and at home in the library, she loved getting lost in the pages of the libraries millions of books on the clean, wooden shelves. For some reason, today was different, at first everything seemed normal, but when she went upstairs, to a secret passage with magic books, only visible to wizards and witches, that Hagrid had told her about, she felt a feeling of coldness and gloom. She had been up there many times, she loved the spell books and Hogwarts history books they had. Hermione decided the dreariness of the top floor was nothing to be concerned about, so she ventured into the shelf labeled, "Dark Magic Curses and Counter curses." She wanted to be prepared and learn some dark magic counter curses just in case she, Harry, or Ron ever needed them. As she was walking down the long dark magic shelf, something bumped into her, she turned around, there was nothing. Weird. She thought to herself. She found a few good books as she rummaged through the many magic shelves on the top floor. As she sat down at one of the reading tables, a cold wind passed by her, knocking some books off the table. She picked them up, they were the ones she had taken from the shelves, but one of them wasn't. There was one book without a title. Hermione was positive she didn't take this one before. She opened it up and the next thing she knew, her world was black.
