I'd rather be with you
I'd rather not know
where I'll be than be alone and convinced that I know
and the world keeps spinning round
It was now, May. Hermione still thought about Draco, but had gotten better. Her grades went back up, and everything was back to normal, like in 6th year. Trina was still at Hogwarts, Dumbledore insisted that she stayed, even after the Ministry said she was free to go home. Hermione resigned the position of Head Girl. As she had to get back on track with her studies, and whoever the new Head Boy would be, she wouldn't be able to handle. Draco was forgotten by day, and remembered by night. Hermione had to push the thoughts of him away during class.
~***~
Hermione awoke early that morning; she had to do some extra studying. Everybody would be at the quidditch match (Gryffindor vs. Slytherin) but Hermione couldn't go and watch too many memories.
~***~
"Hello Ms.Granger. Come to study some more?" Asked the cheerful Madame Pince.
"Yes, it's a perfect time, since the quidditch match is on, nobody will be here."
Madame Pince smiled. She really was worried about Hermione. She was always in here, she understood why she came in here during quidditch matches, but any extra free time she went there. Even in the first 6 years, she had never come in that much.
~***~
"So who won the quidditch match?" Hermione asked Harry and Ron.
"Gryffindor." Harry and Ron said. They knew not to carry on the conversation saying well who always wins, so their answer was as simple as that. "Where'd you go?"
"I was at the library, studying, it was perfect nobody was in there."
"Figures, where else would you go on a bright sunny day but the library?" Ron said sarcastically.
Hermione ignored that comment, and they kept walking to the common room. Hermione walked up to the girls' dormitories. She was going to get Trina, it was lunchtime, and Trina said that she wanted to sleep in, and to wake her up at lunch. Hermione pulled back the red and gold curtains of the four- poster, ready to wake Trina. Hermione ran down the stairs. "Has anyone seen Trina she's gone?!"
"She's gone?"
"Yes. She was just asleep, before I went to the library, now she's not there!"
~***~
"Professor Dumbledore." Hermione said while wheezing. "Have you seen Trina?"
"No, she was supposed to come down here after lunch."
"We can't find her! She's..disappeared. We checked the whole school, and she's not here."
"Ms. Granger, please go to the hospital wing, and get some rest. I will inform the Ministry of Magic. And will start a search. But for now just go get some rest."
Hermione nodded, and slowly headed towards the hospital wing. Trina couldn't have gone just like Draco right? Why did they go? And who keeps taking them? Draco, now Trina, why were they doing this to her, whoever it was? It wasn't fair. And, and...Hermione's thoughts were cut off, as she hit the stone floor.
~***~
"Do you think they've found her yet?" Ron asked Harry.
"I don't think so." Harry said. "They would've told us. Is Hermione still in the hospital wing?"
"I think so. She wouldn't have gone to the library if she'd woken up would she?"
"I doubt that. But why would Trina just disappear?"
"Why would Malfoy?" Ron said.
"Something's going on. Who knows who'll suddenly disappear next."
~***~
"So now Trina's gone?" Professor McGonagall asked Dumbledore.
"Yes, she was sleeping and then *poof * gone."
"Poor Hermione. First Draco now Trina. Trina was probably the one who was making Hermione continue wanting to be a witch. She's going to kill herself soon, who's next of the girls closest friends Harry? Ron?" Madame Pince said.
"All we can do is keep looking for now." All the other teachers nodded in agreement. Even professor Snape was worried. He even pitied Hermione.
~***~
Hermione slowly awoke, somebody was talking. "The poor girl. They still can't find Trina." It was professor McGonagall. Trina was gone for good too? She knew it. But had they even checked the forbidden forest? That would be one place to look.
"You're awake."
"Yes, can I please go down to dinner, I didn't have lunch."
"Yes, you're free for the night."
"Thank you." Hermione said. And she made her way down to the Great Hall. "Hermione!" Harry and Ron called. "How are you feeling?" They asked.
"I'm fine. Has there been any word on Trina?"
"Not yet. But everyone's looking for her. Even the muggle world knows about her disappearance." Hermione nodded her head. "I guess that's all they can do for now."
They ate the rest of their dinner in silence, nobody really knew what to talk about.
~***~
They were walking back to the Gryffindor common room, when Hermione broke the silence. "Do you know where they've looked?"
"They've checked the inside of Hogwarts, and they're looking around Hogsmeade right now. Why?"
"I was just wondering if they re-checked the school. I hope she's alright." Ha Hermione laughed inside, Trina's gone like Draco's gone, and everyone knows it, and they all know that Harry or Ron is next. Someone wanted her to die, or so it felt like that. They would take all her best and closest friends, and family, until she died from the pain of loss.
~***~
Hermione tried but she could not sleep. She had to get out, and try to find Trina for herself. She quietly walked out into the cool air of the grounds. She walked into the forbidden forest. She wasn't scared, she wanted to find Trina. And it was the only place they probably hadn't looked yet.
Hermione walked through the many trees of the eerie forest, clutching her wand in case something happened. She had been walking for about five minutes, when she came to a stop. The trees were starting to get thicker, and the air was a lot cooler than when she had first stepped outside. There was a prickling sensation that went through her bodies, and she began to shiver, and noticed that goosebumps had appeared on her arms. She kept on walking, and did not turn back, she knew Trina was in here. She just knew. She didn't dare say Trina's name, who knows what might've chased after her. She saw something that looked like a cloak, sitting on the ground in a near by tree. She slowly walked up to it. Then she noticed that it was a small little girl. "Trina?" She whispered. "Hermione?"
"Trina, where have you been?" Hermione asked worriedly. "Wait don't answer we have to go, now, we have to get out of here." Trina nodded, and slowly got up. They started to head back. But stopped abruptly when they heard footsteps. Hermione held on to her wand tighter, and picked up Trina. "Hermione, I'm sorry, I went for a walk and I got lost and I'm sorry." "It's okay Trina but please stop talking." Trina nodded again. 'This seems oddly familiar! The dream, it's real, oh no. Help someone help' Hermione kept on running and running, knowing that she was seconds away from dying. "Trina." Hermione whispered. "Run away, try to find your way back, just don't stay, it's not safe." Trina gave a weak nod. And Hermione gently let her down, and watched her run off. Hermione held out her wand, trying to be prepared for what was supposed to happen next.
~***~
Trina ran off, she wanted to stay with Hermione, but obeyed what she said. Hermione knew something bad was going to happen. And Trina, she had to stay she couldn't just leave Hermione. So after a she knew that Hermione was out of sight she ran back, to where Hermione last was, and hid behind a tree.
~***~
Hermione turned around, and waited. Then she heard the running footsteps getting closer. She sat down beneath the tree. 'I can't escape now, there's nowhere to go.' Then, Draco came running through the trees. He was running towards her, and pointed his wand at her. "Draco, please don't. Please." His face was blank, no expression. He didn't even look like himself. "I do not know you, and I have orders to kill you." "Please Draco, it's me Hermione! Please don't, why don't you remember its Hermione." "I don't know you! Ava.." "It's Hermione! Why don't you remember?" She then took off her necklace, and showed it to him. He threw it on the ground. "Remember? You gave that to me, so I'd never forget you!" Draco's face became confused, and he dropped his wand. "Hermione?" "Yes! Hermione!" "We have to go, now!" Hermione quickly stood up. And Trina ran out from behind the tree. They all started to run, out of the forest.
~***~
"Good morning Ms.Granger." Dumbledore said.
"Professor Dumbledore?" Memories flooded back to Hermione. "Where's Draco? And Trina? Are they okay? Where was Draco? But are they okay?!"
"Slow down Ms. Granger." Dumbledore laughed. "They are both fine. It seems, that Draco had been 'taken' he was put under the imperius curse, but seems that you helped him break it."
"And they're fine now?" Hermione asked.
"Yes, they're both perfectly fine. Now get some rest." He said, and left the hospital wing.
It was hard for Hermione to go back to sleep, but finally she did. And Draco and Trina were back! And they were okay, for now. And her world was suddenly happy again. But as she learned already, that everything can change in a flash of a second. But for right now everything was fine. And for once, she didn't have to dream about Draco coming back, she could dream of the summer time.
Okay chapter 12! There will be one more chapter after this. I didn't know how to put this one. It's a little fast paced, and I'll try to have the next chapter up soon. It will be about when they get out of the hospital wing, and Hermione and Draco see each other again. Again I'm sorry it's short!

Oh, and the imperius curse is the one that makes you under the control of someone else. (Right?)
