Chapter 1 to 'Death by an Angel'

She finally stopped in the middle of the Dark Forest. She kept telling herself that she hadn't killed him purposely. Her appearance was as disheveled as she felt. Her mousy brown hair fell limply on her shoulders and her once bright eyes were now clouded with painful tears.

This wasn't the Hermione Granger she knew. This was an unprofessional scruffy girl who didn't even know where she was. At the thought she burst into fresh tears and began to run again. But before she went any farther she felt something that made her change her direction. 'I'm going mad' she thought as she ran blindly in the direction that she the 'invisible something' had pushed her.

After a few minutes she stopped breathlessly. She was at the edge of the Dark Forest looking up at the castle she had thought of as her home for 7 years. But there was no comfort there anymore. Harry was gone and there was no reason for her to go back to Hogwarts.

"Come on Mione" said Harry affectionately as they stepped into the Great Hall. Hermione smiled at Harry and they sat down next to each other at the Gryffindor table. Ron was already scarfing down his dinner, "Hi guys," said Ron with his mouth full.

'These are the best days of my life,' thought Hermione as she put some salad on her plate.

"So, are we going to study for our charms test in the empty room on the sixth floor today?" asked Harry who wasn't doing too well in charms.

"Well if Hermione can pry herself from her books." Said Ron playfully.

"I can, too, even though I'm not the one who is failing charms." Answered Hermione with mockingly.

"That hurt, Mione." Said Ron teasingly.

"Well this going to hurt more." said Hermione as she hurled a spoonful of mashed potatoes at him.

Soon the entire cafeteria was pitching food at each other.

'I want this moment to last forever' thought Hermione as she grabbed some pudding and threw it at Harry.

It was painful to remember all the good times she'd had with Harry and Ron.

But she had to keep moving before someone spotted her and investigated. She couldn't be left at the scene of Harry's death.

When she looked back at the forest she saw a glimmer of silver coming towards her.

'Oh no, someone's found me' she thought as she dived into a near by bush.

But to her surprise it was a unicorn. 'What's a unicorn doing so close to Hogwarts?' she thought as she came closer to touch its silky mane.

The unicorn neighed softly as Hermione pet the beautiful animal. And then she mounted the creature. The unicorn showed no sign of resistance and they road off together into the coming twilight.
