HI!! Thanks for reviewing guys!! Onto Chapter 2…
Ch 2
Hermione tied a letter to Crookshanks, and set him out
the door. That had been an hour ago. She had written
to Ron, telling him about her worries. She needed his
light heartedness, she needed him to laugh it off and
tell her she worried too much. She needed that.
But she wasn't sure how long Crookshanks would take.
Privet Drive... she had heard of it, and knew where it
was. Should she go? She'd have a hell of a time
explaining it to her parents, who were both asleep. If
they would wake up in the middle of the night to check
on her and notice her gone, they'd have a fit. But if
Harry was in trouble, it was worth any punishment they
could dish out.
She pulled on her cloak, scribbled a fast letter about
not being able to sleep and going for a walk, and
headed out the door. The crisp night air greeted her
roughly, and she shivered against the cold. Okay, Privet Drive. She hurried down her street, and was lucky to see a bus just pulling up to the stop. She ran up to it, and dug around in her purse for some change, almost putting wizard gold into the slot. The doors whizzed closed, and she found an empty seat. Only her and a man who was fast asleep in the back where on there as the bus grew closer to Magnolia Crescent.
Hermione got off the bus, and was winding her way down Magnolia Crescent, and onto Privet Drive when she heard… shouting. Hermione quickened her pace, and soon Number Four came into view.
"And stay out!" Uncle Vernon hissed, slamming the door behind Harry.
Hermione took a moment to contain herself. She had never seen him before, and what Harry told her didn't do him justice. He was big and burly, like a grizzly bear, and as mean as Malfoy on a good day. Harry stood awkwardly on the step, swaying uneasily.
Hermione ran up to him, and caught his arm before he collapsed.
"Harry!" she yelled. "Harry, oh God, what did they do to you?"
"Hermione?" he rasped, before falling to the ground.
