Hermione walked briskly out of the dining room. Once out of sight, she ran.
Down, out of the castle. Not knowing why, but not caring, tears were
streaming down her face, splashing on to the smooth rocks below.
'Tears blind your eyes, your mind, but it leaves you heart open, to be struck with a blow of pain.'
Running eased the pain, as the girl fled unknowingly into a dark part of the Forbidden Forest. Darkness only increased as she wove deeper and deeper, but all dark must end, and Hermione found herself facing a small clearing lit by the brilliant sun. A rock was strategically placed in the centre and from it a little trickle of water flowed into a stream that ran through one corner.
Hermione sat under a tall tree resting her head against a moss softened rock, she had run out of tears to cry so she slowly drifted off to sleep.

"She's falling" Hermione 'awoke' to a dark room, she was sitting, back against the corner and could hear snatches of conversation.
"...Harry......... soon......... Tom Riddle......failure..... "
Hermione strained to see the speaker but she failed to do so.
"But.....if she fights... could mean....... us.... fail."
The girl felt a whip fall against her cheek, a jolt of pain like lightning burnt her skin.
"We wont fail."
Hermione recovered from the pain and swallowed nervously. And she fell. Falling through jelly that scorched her all over. The pain was growing stronger, until she was unable to take anymore, then she landed, on to a mass of hidden rocks, the pain of hitting rock subsided quickly.
Then came the knives. Cold hard knives of ice. Of frozen blood. They rained upon her like wasps upon an invader, eating away at her skin.
And so she awoke.

Gasping for air she sat up, water trickled down her face as a strand of hair wove its way out of its tie. It was raining
Hermione stood up and looked around, night had fallen and rumbling clouds blocked the moon.
"HERMIONE!" She looked around as an anxious voice called her name.
"Ron?" The quiet whisper was to herself, as she realised who it was.
"HERMIONE I AM SORRY! COME BACK, PLEASE?!" Ron was sounding as if he were on the verge of tears.
"RON!" Hermione ran towards the voice, stumbling on roots and tearing her robes on clinging tree branches.
"Hermione?" Ron sounded closer, he was obviously running too.
He saw her running towards him and stopped in disbelief. Hermione flung her arms around his neck and sobbed onto his shoulder. "Ron... Im sorry.. really I am." she buried her head in his soaked jumper.
Ron blinked, shock, pleasure and relief washed over him as he hugged her tightly. He found himself muttering softly whilst running his fingers through her hair. "It's okay Hermione, I'm here now."
Suddenly she pushed him away. "Let go of me you jerk! Don't ever touch me." She fell to her knees head in her hands " I- I can't control. Run Ron, please- leave me here,"
An angry fire burnt in her eyes as she glared back up at him, He noticed a red crescent mark burnt into her lift cheek it flashed black when she turned angry again. "I hate you Ronald Weasly."
She ran back to the castle, leaving a hurt and confused Ron standing alone in the downpour, the fresh water mixing with a tear that fell down his cheeks.
'You run away
To hide from me
I stand alone out here
Far away from where I want to be...
Flames may burn the heart
In times of great love.
But the pain I'm in is the worst of pain
I'm just crying in the rain
Tears stream down my confused mind,
Why'd you take my heart and leave me behind?
I don't know what I've done to hurt you
What can I do to get us through?
Flames may burn the heart
In times of great love.
But the pain I'm in is the worst of pain
I'm just crying in the rain
Just crying in the rain.'
Ron fell on to his hands and knees and let the rain slide down his neck. "What did I do this time?" a question he left unanswered........
(A/N sorry for the song, I just had it buzzing around my head and it had to be written! Lol R&R)
