Disclaimer: *sighs* How many times do I have to tell you people that I
don't own Drakie?!? You just want me to suffer, don't you?? *sob*
Heys! Did you like the cliffy? It shouldn't really be considered a cliffy, since I'm gonna post at least 3 chapters at once, so you'll just be able to read on.... but it's still suspenseful!! I'm really hyper, so anything said in this chapter should not reflect on my state of mind.... ok, it should, but don't hurt me. lol. Now, without further ado, is chapter 2 of Survivor!!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
..... a blur of black robes that were speeding towards Hermione! The person that was the blur tackled Hermione to the ground and gave her what was possibly the world's tightest bear hug.
What the bloody hell? Hermione thought as she tried to catch a glimpse of her "attacker." One look at the shoulder length, chestnut hair and she knew exactly who it was.
"BRENNA!!!!" she squealed as she finally returned her best friend's hug, "What are you doing here so soon? Term doesn't start for another 2 weeks."
Brenna stood and from her place on the floor, she looked every bit of her 6'. Her blue-gray eyes twinkling so much, she could've given Dumbledore a run for his money. She offered Hermione a hand up, "I wanted to surprise you. Duh, dumbass." Hermione took her hand and pulled. Gravity did the rest and Brenna fell flat on her face.
Hermione, who had scuttled over to the sitting area, was giggling hysterically. "You think that's funny, huh?" Brenna said as she stood and dusted herself off. "Since I just got here and I'm tired, I'm not gonna hold that against you. But this is the only get-out-of-jail-free card you're going to get. Got it?"
Still giggling, Hermione just went with a simple, "Yep," and continued giggling. She knew her friend wouldn't be pissed for long. They were practically sisters, what with growing up right next door to each other. When Hermione had gotten her letter of acceptance to Hogwarts, Brenna had been devastated. She was going to Beuxbatons. After her fifth year, though, Brenna was able to get transferred to Hogwarts and the girls were inseparable. They hung out so much, even Harry and Ron felt left out. But, soon they accepted her and the trio had become a quad.
With a glare, Brenna went back out into the hallway and got the small gift bag she had left outside the portrait hole.
"Your mum wanted me to get you this," she stated as she handed the bag to a now red-faced Hermione.
"Mum sent me something already? I've only been gone for a week... Oh, and thanks," she said with a cheeky grin. She pushed aside the turquoise tissue paper to reveal a small box, presumably one that holds a piece of jewelry. She opened the lid and gasped at the beautiful ring inside. It had a gold band with little vines with leaves going all around the ring, ending at the sparkling sapphire embedded in the center.
"It's not from your mum," Brenna informed her. "She just wanted me to give it to you. Evidently she thought it was safer than the post. She obviously doesn't know me very well." She grinned.
"Who - who's it from?" Hermione asked in a shaky voice.
"I'll give you 3 guesses, but you're only gonna need one."
Hermione squealed and slipped the ring on her right ring finger. "It fits perfectly! He knew my size!!! Xander actually knew my size!!!"
"I think your mum helped with that just a bit, but I'm happy you're happy," Brenna said, grinning sheepishly.
Hermione started giggling and couldn't stop. Which, of course, caused Brenna to start, too. After about 15 straight minutes of laughing, the girls collapsed on the largest sofa.
Hermione had been looking at the ring for so long, Brenna feared she might permanently damage her eyes, so she broke the silence with, "Got any food? I'm starved."
Hermione glanced up at her friend and smiled, "You're always hungry."
"Damn straight. Now where's my food, bitch?" Brenna said with mock impatience.
With a grin, Hermione motioned to the portrait hole and said, "We can go down to the kitchens. The house elves will whip us up something."
Giggling the whole way, the girls walked arm in arm down to the kitchen. Upon arriving, they found something they hadn't planned on.
Draco Malfoy.

Did you like it?!? Brenna is modeled after my real friend Brenna, so if the character seems a little weird and hyper, that's because the real Brenna is. lol. (I know you're reading this, B, and I just want to say.... *plop* lol... inside joke, don't mind me ^_^) Hope you like it and I'll post the next ch. soon! Remember to review!!!!
