"OH NO!" She thought. She laid the scroll down and looked at her calendar that was pinned on her wall. August 2nd was a week away. Suddenly the phone rang, making her jump.
He: Hello?
Ha: Hey, Hermione?
He: Oh, hi harry!
Ha: Hey I was just calling to say hi...
He: Oh
Ha: Yeah...so when are you leaving for hogwarts?
He: I just got a letter saying I have to leave on August 2nd! Can you believe that!
Ha: Oh, that sucks
He: Yes, I wonder what we have to be there for.
Ha: Who knows. I've been trying to contact Dumbledore to see if maybe I could come early too...you know...to get away from the dursleys and all...
He: Oh harry that would be wonderful!
Ha: Really? I thought so too
He: Yes, I'll ask dumbledore also!
Ha: Brilliant! Well...i got to go they're home.
He: Oh, ok talk to you later!
Ha: Bye----hermione.
He: Bye!
She hung up feeling suddenly cheerful. "What is the matter with me?" she thought...she had never felt that way talking to Harry. Suddenly remembering the letter again, she called Draco and left a message telling him about her early leave, then got to packing.
*AUGUST 2nd*
She was on the train ride back to Hogwarts, but strangely enough nobody was there. She slumped in her seat and fell into a deep sleep.
"Harry...what are you doing? Why are we in here?" She listened to the voice echo in the dark hall. "Harry? Harry? Where are you--are you here?" Suddenly a shuffle of shoes was heard a few feet away. "Of course I'm here...and I always have been...waiting...for you....hermione...." His voice was hazy, sort of soft but gentle. She backed up against the wall. "Harry? What are you doing? How did we get in here?" "Shhhhh...." he replied. "Hermione....you have to know....I can't wait any longer....Hermione...I...." She could feel him moving closer. She stood firm straining to see through the dark--"Hermione--I--"
A loud whistle echoed in her ear. She looked out the window to see night had fallen and hogwarts was perched darkly at the top of the hill. She got up and stretched, grabbed her belongings and headed out the door of her compartment. Only two others were on the train. A rather tall handsome boy was pulling his belongings along side him and the other...she strained her eyes to see who it was. "Harry!" she called without control. The black silohette (sp?) in the distance turned around and waved. "Wingardium Leviosa!" she called with a flick of her wrist, and her bags were floating along side her. She ran up the hill. "He let you!" She flung her arms around him immediately. "Yeah-I said I was going to help you out with whatever was going on up here."
The two friends began chatting as they always had...only now with a certain sort of tension hanging above their heads. They approached the entrance nervously. It was very quiet, and very dark. The tall blonde boy closely behind them advanced and pushed the door open. "Hello?" he called in a deep voice. His voice echoed--but no answer came. The three looked at eachother. "Do you think we should--?" he asked the two. Harry looked at Hermione. "Yeah, lets go in and see if we can find somebody." They walked in slowly and cautiously. They turned to their right and saw what looked like a giant deformed silohette in the great hall. Hermione grabbed Harry's arm. "What's going on?!" The tall boy and harry only faintly smiled as they continued walking into the enormous--and dark great hall.
