The Diary Chapter 5

From behind the curtains, Ginny stepped out into the light. She was so angry. How could her brother and the stupid git, Harry, be so idiotic?!? How dare they go through Hermione's diary. well at least try to anyway. Now she had to decide if she was going to have the heart to tell Hermione that her two best friends were snooping around in her dormitory. Ginny walks out of the Girl's Dormitory, making sure that no one saw her. ***** Harry and Ron walked down the corridor acting as if they had been looking for Hermione. They walked into the Library, and found Hermione sitting at a table, reading about amulets and gems. Ron went over and sat across the table from her and Harry walked up from behind her, and put his hands over her eyes. At first, Hermione was startled, and she threw her book at across the table, not knowing that Ron was sitting there. Luckily, he had fast reflexes and he caught it before it hit him right upside the head. Hermione spun around really fast then looked at who it was. When she seen it was Harry, she smiled, then the smile faded. "Harry! Why do always do that to me? You know it frightens me!" She looked over at Ron who was laughing so hard he had tears rolling down his face, " You know Ron, you better stop laughing if you know what is good for you!" She then turned back to Harry, "Harry, sorry for yelling like that, but you know it scares me when you sneak up on me." "I'm sorry, Hermione. You know it was just for fun. What are you doing in here, anyway?" "Well if you must know, which I know you must, I was looking for you -" "And you came here. 'Mione? Come on, its Harry and me." Ron said, interrupting Hermione, which he got an evil glare for. "I went looking for you everywhere, and when I couldn't find you two, I came here to catch up on my reading. You two are always keeping me from my studies." "Sorry." Ron and Harry said in unison. The both knew that they were in trouble, and being in trouble was almost like meeting the wrath of Voldemort. Hermione took the book from Ron's hands. She sat back down and resumed reading. Harry and Ron just looked at her and laughed. "What is so funny?" "Nothing, nothing." "Okay, then. I'll see you two at dinner then." Ron and Harry walked out the library and down to the Gryffindor common room. Fred and George were sitting in the corner, working on their Weasley's Wizard Wheezes products. Trying to mix different potions, there were loud explosions coming from where they were. As Harry plopped himself on the couch closest to the fireplace, Ron walked over to Lavender, sitting across the room. Harry sat there, watching the flames of the fire dance around. As he kept on watching, he began to doze of.

Harry found himself walking through the Forbidden Forest. He was so deep into the forest that there was no path and the trees were very dense, and he couldn't see more then ten feet in front of him. As he walked deeper in the forest, he spotted something on the ground. It was a girl, and she was covered in blood. Harry knew had seen this girl before, but he wasn't sure. As he got closer to her, he realized who it was. He fell to his knees and pulled the girl up to his chest. He didn't care about the blood. He gently moved the once brown hair out from in front of the girl's face. Hermione's once warm cinnamon eyes, stared at him now having no life. Harry lifted his face from her and he seen a dark shadow looking at him. As Harry looked at him, he began to come into focus. "VOLDEMORT!!!" Harry screamed repeatedly. Then all of a sudden the figure was replaced with Firenze, the centaur. Firenze moved closer and looked at the lifeless girl. "Harry, the forest holds many secrets. Only you may protect her from what harm may come to her." Then Firenze disappeared just like Voldemort did. He looked down at Hermione. A tear fell from his eye. "Hermione. Hermione. HERMIONE."

A gentle shaking woke Harry up from his nightmare. He opened his cautiously, afraid to see what he had just dreamt. Harry regained full vision, and then seen it was Hermione. Her cinnamon brown eyes had life again. Without thinking, Harry pulled Hermione into a huge hug. Hermione crawled up onto the couch as Harry wept on her shoulder. She didn't know what had made him so afraid. But as Harry held her, she whispered to him that she wouldn't leave him. The each dozed off into a dreamless slumber, not knowing where the next day would leave them. The next morning, Hermione woke up, feeling nice and warm. She looked down and seen Harry's arm wrapped around her waist. She vaguely remembered why she had spent the night with Harry. All she remembered was that she had just came into the common room. She had skipped dinner to read up on an amulet that she had bought at Hogsmeade earlier that day. When she entered the room, she heard a whimpering over by the couch. She cautiously walked over and seen it was Harry having another nightmare of his. She knelt down and stroked his back, trying to get him to calm down. When she thought his nightmare was over, he started to scream her name. She didn't know what to do, so she started to gentle shake him. His eyes popped open and he looked at her with his frightened emerald eyes. He had tears coming out and he wrapped his arms around her. That's all she remembers.
