Secrets are to keep-
As the years went by, Hermione was now 17 years old, she was heading for the Hogwarts Express when she saw Harry and Ron, her dearest bestest of friends, aproaching cheerfully to her. But instead of going ahead and salute them , instead of at least staying and await for their arrival, she turned away and misteriously dissapeared from one second to another into the platform 9¾. Harry and Ron didn't even see when she dissapeared, so they where wandering wether she had gotten in or still remained outside. Once inside Hermione went into the big old train and found a seat as far and hidden as she could. She placed her stuff beside her and took out a big, heavy book with a black cover, dark-blue crystals attached to it and platinum decorations of metal. She opened it and started writing with her black feather on the old brown pages, she continued to write where she had stoped sometime before and let the black ink from the feather flow. About 20 minutes later of full concentration into her mysteries, the heavy door that kept her hidden from the others was opened with a fast heavy push. "Hermione! There you are! We've been looking all over for you! We saw you by the train but then you were gone before we could blink our eyes!" "I'm sorry. I guess I didn't see you." "Yeah. em. why are you in THIS room.?" "What's wrong with it?" "Emm. well. nothing, its just. its so distant. it took us forever to find you. and. well. it doesn't look like its been threated in a while". "Its as clean as your glasses Harry. there's nothing wrong with it. I mean. if you don't like it I guess we could always move." "No, that won't be necessary, the room is just fine". "Oh. Hi Ron, I'm sorry I hadn't seen you there". "Don't worry, its ok". "What's that book you are caring Hermione.?" "Oh! Em. this. its nothing! Its just a few spells I'm trying to learn Harry!" "Ok. You don't have to shout that out you know." "I'm. sorry, yeah. I'm just. SO excited." By then she was fastly placing the book inside her leather bag. "Well lets see then." "Oh. em. well." Her eyes where fastly moving around trying to find something. "Candle." "What.?" "I mean. adverto-avoco Ignesco". The candle's fire inside the room shut off immediately. "Adverto-evigilio Ignesco", and the candle's lit up again. "Well. that's a hard one." "Ron. Wingardium Leviosa gave thee a hard time". "Hermione. thou was the only one to do it right from the beginning". "Yeah. well. oh whatever." "See. I beat you. I AM INVINSIBLE!" "Sure Ron". "Guys. I. I have to go to the bathroom. I'll be back in a while". She standed up and headed for the door, but not three steps were made when her face turned thoughtful and heading back grabed her leather bag. "What are you taking that with you for.?" "Em. girl stuff Harry." She walked throught the hall slowly, passed her hands throught her hair brushing it out of her face slightly, and breathed out slowly and long. as if caring a heavy burden. She could hear the voices inside the other rooms. the laughter, the joy and the shrieks of girls being playfully harrased by guys. "What's so great about this all I wonder." When she was about to reach the ladies room she saw the one guy she was intriged to see this year for many reasons. Draco Malfoy. "Granger." he said with an expression of disgust as he slowly aproached to her. She, without a word, simply stayed staring right into his eyes, with her black make-up around her eye that made her seem intimidating as it combined with her mouth that showed no simpathy. He was not shocked or sorprise, neither intimidated nor sad, he expected this expression and was not either happy to see it. "Come on Grabbe, Goyle, how pathetic are you?" She followed his eyes until he turned them away, then she continued to the bathroom with the same expression. She entered and went straight to the mirror, her black cloathing extended to the knees, she had tall heavy boots and many acessories in her hands and neck, all of them mostly black, silver and blue. She stared straight into her light brown eyes for a short while, "For greatness is supposed to be filled with truth. and they can not give you that". "What.?" Hermione inmediately looked throught the mirror and saw a confused girl that had just come out from one of the bathroom's. "Nothing." Hermione freshened her face with some water, the girl came close to do the same "Were you talking alone.?". "No". And with a sudden turn she just left the place and headed back for the cabin. She walked slowly across the hall for she had no special interest or rush to get there, and as she reached the room she saw a green amulet lying on the floor. "And so it begins." She grabbed the amulet and placed it in the bag, making sure no one was around to see this action, then she steped into the cabin and sat by Ron's side. "I do not think you should run for that posittion Ron, you'll. well, Hermione, about time you got back." "Since when art thou my father?" And with no more coment she sat down and took out a book from her bag and started to read, not the black one of course. Harry kept explaining Ron why he should not do this or that while he, looking suspiciously at Hermione, tried to guess what was she keeping from them and why. After a long time they reached Hogwarts, and between the loud excitement of the students including Harry, Hermione squeezed as she could and got off the train struggling between the cheer's of the ordinary students. Ron, instead of screaming and dancing (as some other students that had nothing better to do), followed Hermione sneakily as she went into the castle. "Hermione". She pretended not to hear him. "Hermione stop." Seeing it would be too obvious to ignore your best friend when he is two feet away from you, she turned around and awaited the coment. "Are you ok.?" "Yes". And she tried to leave again. "Hermione!" Ron had held her by the shoulder and stoped her from leaving. "What?" "What's wrong with you.? Have we done anything wrong". "No Ron, its." She let out an air as if she was about to reveal something. "Look, everything is ok, I just. I really need to spend some time alone, I do need you and Harry, and I know you guys really give the shit for me and all, and I know you and Harry want to help but." "Hermione this is not about me and Harry, this is about you, it does not involve anyone else". Hermione stared at Ron for a second and then continued to speak, "Actually it involves many, many people Ron, especially you, but you are right, it does not involve Harry at all, and since he has no clue of what's going on right now. just please leave it like that, don't let him know about my pains so he can fly throught his butterfly dreams as long as. as long as this lasts". "I will. Whatever your secret is, for wich I have no concern or knowledge. is sealed.
