No Turning Back
Chapter Four
Hermione's heart nearly skipped a beat when she entered the Gryffindor common room. She leapt across the room and plopped herself right on the arm of the chair that Harry was sitting in. There was a rush of greetings. Hermione hugged Harry until her arms felt numb, she was grinning from ear to ear. They sat in silence for a few moments. Harry glanced at Hermione, her smile was gone, and was replaced with an odd look, like she was pondering something difficult inside her head, Just as Ron had. Suddenly she rose up of the arm of the chair, and sat down on a scarlet sofa next to Ron. She stared Harry straight in the eyes and asked, "Harry what happened that night with the Death Eaters? Dumbledore told us that you were dead, but you certainly not dead now. What's going on?" For a moment Harry could say nothing, he could only kick himself for what he had done. Why had he gone out so late? Why did he let Voldemort trick him like that, why didn't he FIGHT! "Well Harry, what happened? You can tell us." the sound of Ron's snapped him back to the present. No he couldn't tell them. They would be upset and it would only put them in danger. "I'd rather not say right now." he replied. Ron and Hermione both exchanged nervous looks with each other. Neither one of them wanted to upset him, so in the middle of this most exciting moment they all headed off to bed.
