Chapter Two
"Hermione!" They burst into the girls' dormitories, but suddenly stopped when they saw her tear stained face.
"What's wrong!? We came up here because Malfoy said." and then they remembered why they were there in the first place
"Is it true? Are you really leaving Hogwarts?"
"Yeah.Mum and Dad are starting to think that it's too dangerous being a witch, and they really want me to go to college, so.I'm leaving at the end of the semester."
Ron and Harry were shocked. They hadn't expected it to be true, after all, it was Malfoy who told them.
"Hermione.."Ron started, "maybe you can have Dumbledore talk to them, and try to convince your parents that this is where you belong! I mean, after all, if you leave, whose going to do my homework for me!!??"
He meant it as a joke, and of course, WE know that, but in the mood that Hermione was in, she didn't take it that way.
"Is that all I am to you!? Just someone to do your homework for you! You don't even THINK about how I feel! I have to leave the only place where I feel like I belong! The only place where I had friends! And all you can think about is whose going to do your homework!!!?? ..just leave me alone.." Then she turned away, but not before muttering something about insensitive jerks.
"Who does she think she IS Harry! I'm trying to make her feel better and, like always, all she can do is yell at me!"
"Well, er, um, maybe we should have been a little more sensitive. I mean, you did just kinda seem like all you were concerned with was yourself.."
Before Harry could say that he didn't mean it that way, Ron stomped off.
"Having two of my best friends mad at me..what a way to start the day."
* * *
It was three in the morning and Draco was still up.
*It's about time she wised up and decided to go back where she belongs. Finally, now I can be at the top of the class, and father won't go on about how I've brought embarrassment the Malfoy name by letting a mudblood beat me at every subject. Yup, I can't wait till she leaves. *
With that thought on his mind, he drifted off to sleep.
* * *
When Hermione walked in the Gryffindor common room the next morning, the first thing she heard was Lavender squealing,
"Ooh! Hermione! Is it true that you're leaving!" When she nodded her head, Lavender looked even more excited. " Proffessor Trelawney predicted that you would be leaving AGES ago!!!"
*yea, like that old bat could predict anything that doesn't have to do with Harry, Harry's death, or what people are going to bring to his funeral * She tried to sound interested when she said
"Oh, so when DID that old.uh, she predict this?"
" It was about a month ago, during the beginning of school.. 'The one who seeks true love shall soon leave the school for good(corny, I know)'.hey, does that mean you seek true love?"
"Of course not! That's just a bunch of rubbish" Lavender frowned at her of talking about her "hero" that way.
* * *
A lot of heads turned towards her as she walked into the Great Hall. "wow, I guess news does spread quickly in this place" she said quietly. Hermione sat down between Harry and Ginny and then started to eat her breakfast in silence.
Suddenly, Ron, stood up and said, "Hermione, don't be mad at me-please--" but then Malfoy cut him off,
"So, Weasley, what's going on with your girlfriend? Or is it Potter's girlfriend? I can never tell. So what happened? Oh that's right, the mudblood's leaving, isn't she?"
Suddenly, everyone shut up. Even people who didn't know about the news now did.
"Granger, I want to talk to you."
"NO."
"Excuse me Weasley, I don't recall you being able to control what she does." Hermione was getting tired of them talking like she wasn't there.
"Malfoy, whatever you want to say, you can do it right here."
"Well, I COULD, but I don't think I will."
And with that Draco pulled Hermione out of the Great Hall and into a long and deserted corrider.
So, at least this one was a little longer. Did you like it? Review!
