***********************************************************************
The petite blond was standing just outside the woods, her clothing in disarray like she had walked for hours. And indeed she did. It was on that fateful nice that the Peter Pettigrew had escaped when Professor Lupin had turned into the ware wolf.
She couldn't remember all that happened that night, all she knows is she woke up in the middle of the forests, and some how managed to escape all the horrible things in there only to reach the out skirts and be rushed down by a giant wolf like creature. She tried to climb a tree to get away but out of the panic of being alone in the forbidden forest she had bitten down her nails and could not get a good grip. The wolf also known as Professor Lupin snatched at her leg and catching the hem of her cloak he then pulled her down from the tree she desperately clung too.
The next thing she could remember was waking up to the bright sunshine above her. Someone must have pulled her out of the forest because she was at the foot of the stairs leading up to Hogwarts entrance. So much for not getting suspended, because being out all night would surly be just what got her kicked out of Hogwarts. And worst of all she hadn't even got Harry to notice her, and there was less then a week before school was out. And probley even less for her, she just knew she was getting suspended.
She got to her feet and climbed into the school only to be met by Harmonie, who was the only one who had noticed her, and had taken her under her wing.
"Where have you been?"
"Hermione! I.I don't really know.."
"Look at you, your cloak is all ruined."
"Do you really think so?" Crystal said sarcastically, although Hermione was her only friend for the last two years and Crystal would actually go as far as calling her a sister, she did not feel like putting up with Hermione's condescending attitude. Perhaps it was because she was so tired, she felt as if she hadn't slept all night, or perhaps it was because she had an intense pain on her calf. Surly the wolf didn't actually bite her, no way..
"Come on; let's get you to the Hospital wing."
"What? Why?"
"It's not the end of the world. As a matter of fact it will be great Ron and Harry is still there, and you can actually meet them, while Madam Pomfrey looks over you. You look like you have been out all night."
"No I don't, that would be stupid to stay out all night it'd be enough to get me suspended!"
Hermione shrugged and pulled the second year along in front of her. "It's the oddest thing every single time I try to introduce you to Harry and Ron something comes up."
"Yeah and when I try to talk to them they don't notice I am there. It's only you they noticed Hermione."
They reached the hospital wing, and Hermione pushed Crystal inside then followed. Madam Pomfrey instantly came bounding down the wing and took Crystal straight to a cot. When Crystal had set down Madam Pomfrey checked her calf, where her cloak was torn.
"Oh dear.. Hermione, be a dear and go get Professor Dumbledore."
Hermione rushed off in an instant and within ten minutes was back with Professor Dumbledore. Dumbledore and Madam Pomfrey instantly disappeared into Madam Pomfrey's office. When they re emerged Dumbledore wore a look of disbelief and a great sadness twinkled in his eyes.
"Hermione please excuse us.." And Hermione left to the other end of the wing where Harry and Ron where busy with a game of Wizard Chess. "Crystal I am going to ask you this only once and I want your complete honesty. Crystal where you out side last night?"
"Yes Professor, I don't know how or why but I woke up in the middle of the Forbidden forest around mid noon and found my way back about midnight possibly."
"Did you get attacked by anything?"
"I guess I did, professor. I don't really remember, why do you ask?"
"Because, You my dear, where bitten by a werewolf."
The only thing that could be heard by the ease dropping Hermione was the sound of lost and scared tears. Later that day Crystal was no where to be seen. Not in the hospital ward, or in the library, or even in her room. Hermione figured Crystal was suspended for spending the night outside. It would be lonely next year without her, especially when Ron, Harry, and she would disagree.
