Chapter 3: Alex's threat

Thanx for the reviews! I love ya all for it! Now I let you all find out what happens! Enjoy!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Alex! Talk to ya later girls." I said before running down the bleachers and into my boyfriend's arms. Alex placed an arm around my waist, making me push it off. My brother did make me do some thinking. While Alex was looking at me to find out the reason for pushing his arm off, I pulled out my wand and whispered a spell that enabled me to hear what men where thinking. I listened to what Alex was thinking with surprise.

"When will she tell me she's a witch? She thinks I've never heard of Jake Granger. Jake was a famous Quiddtich player for Gryffindor when he attended school. She's obviously a witch, and the best friend of Harry Potter. If I could get close enough to her, I could bring her to the dark side so Harry would come with her. I just need to give myself some time. Maybe if I get her to soften up to me, she would tell me what I want to know." He thought with a smug grin creeping on his face. He took my hand and led me out of Harry's eyesight. Before I knew it, his lips where on my lips and his hands where around my waist strongly, keeping my arms down. He bit my lower lip making me open my mouth, his tongue now into my mouth. I tired to bite his tongue but somehow I couldn't I felt as if I was under a spell. It tired to fight him, but it was getting harder and harder. Finally, he broke apart from me and I was panting slightly. Once I noticed his grip as loose on my waist, I pulled one of my arms free and slapped him hard across his face. Standing across from him, I watched as he stood in surprise, me being glad that I broke away. He reached his hand up and placed it over his red cheek. He looked up at me and glared. He slowly walked up to me and in one quick movement, he hand my hands behind my back, he head lowered to my level behind me.

"You think you have me all figured out, don't you Hermione? I have you figured out too. And don't even think of getting away. If you don't remember, you're supposed to spend the weekend at the beach with me. What will happen when you show up at home? Everyone will be questioning you, asking you what happened. You owe them the truth my dear sweet Hermione. Then you'll have to explain to the school that you've been lying all this time about your name and then tell the squad that you lied and then your whole little secret life will be ruined and it will carry onto your real life and then everyone would hate you. Now you don't want that, do you?" Alex said to me, his hot breath on my neck. I kept silent and shook my head 'no'.

"Good, that's what I thought. Now go tell the squad that we are leaving and you will meet me back here." Alex kissed my neck once before he let me go. I clammily walked into the locker room where the girls where still talking and taking their break.

"Girls, I'm leaving early now to go to the beach. See you all on Monday." I grabbed my bags and told Lillian to meet us out by the car. I walked back out to where Alex was waiting for me and handed him me my cover- up.

"You don't want anyone to see that and it's dangerous to use magic around muggles." I said as we started walking.

"You should be talking. I've already reversed your mind-reading spell you had on me." He said back to me. I shut my mouth and we continued to walk and soon we where back by Harry and the gang.

"Alex, could I please say goodbye to them?" I asked him before we left the field. He looked at me and nodded. I dropped my bags and ran up to them.

"Listen to me, I want you to send Hedwig with a letter to me asking me where I am. She will find me without any doubt. Don't ask me any questions now." I said in a low whisper and gave the girls both a hug. I looked over at Alex and then back at the three boys in front of me. I hugged Ron and gave a slight smile at Draco, just to seem nice. Finally, I hugged Harry. While in our embrace I whispered in his ear, "Please help me." When I pulled away, I looked at him then turned around, going back over to Alex.

"Why did you hug that Harry Potter for so long?" Alex asked me, sounding rather jelous.

"He's my best friend. Why?" I asked him as we came up to his car, Lillian and Greg waiting for us there. Alex opened the door for me and I sat down. He closed it rather harshly and then walked back over to his side. I put on my seatbelt and waited for him to start the car, my hands in my lap. Alex turned on the car and backed out of the school and we where off. The whole way there Greg and Lillian where sleeping in the back seat and Alex and I where both silent.

When we where on the highway he finally turned on the radio. The wind was blowing my hair out of its clip so I decided to remove it. We listened to a few songs before he talked to me.

"Why are you giving me the silent treatment?" Alex asked me. I didn't answer him; instead I rested my elbow on the door.

"Hermione Lynn Granger, answer me now." He ordered me in a harsh tone.

"I'm ignoring you. When we get to the beach, I'll do my best to hang out with Lillian and if I'm stuck with you, then so be it!" I snapped at him. From the corner of my eye, I could see him glaring at me. It was getting late and I was getting tired. Yet, I was afraid of going to sleep because I feared he would hex me or something while I was dreaming.

"Alex, can we stop up at the next rest stop?" I asked him. He gave me no answer and soon we pulled into a rest stop. I smiled and went into the building. Just like I excepted, there was a pop machine in there. I bought a Mountain Dew and exited the rest stop, getting into the car and putting on my seatbelt once more, opening the can of pop. I decided to do something while we where in the car so I pulled out my house keys, which I had a mini flashlight on and pulled out my diary. I began writing, my mini flashlight now hanging from my chocker so I could see.

July 2nd

Today was a mess for me. Last night, my cousins and the Wood family came over to my house as well as my big brother, Jacob. Well anyways, today, I found out that Serenati, Sean, and Dawn all are in some of my classes AND that Harry, Ron, Lavender, Ginny, and shudder Draco. Then, while in practice, I took a break and found out that Alex is a dark wizard and knows who I am and is planning Harry's defeat! And now I'm in the car with him, Lillian and Greg sleeping in the back seat, on the way to the beach. Man my life is screwed up, major! Just wish me luck and a life! Well, I should go. I'm afraid that Alex will read what I'm writing.

-Love,

Hermione L. Granger.

I put my precious diary away and pulled out a Hogwarts book to read. Shame I've already done all of my schoolwork as well as extra credit. I sighed and watched the cars fly by. After a while, I could name just about every kind of car in the world so I decided to watch the stars. As I watched the starts, I seemed to fall into a deep sleep.

My Dream

I was curled up in a small ball, my clothes tightly around me. My hair was down and flowing around me. I was floating in cold space and my eyes where closed. I didn't know where I was floating to, but I was. I heard someone whisper my name so I looked up. The owner of the voice was nowhere to be seen. I stood up, it seemed as if something was holding me up. I looked around in the vast space, my name still being called. A hand fell onto my shoulder and I turned around to see Lord Voldemort standing there with Alex next to him, Alex's hand still on my shoulder. I gave a frightened screech and tried to get away but Alex had a strong grip on my shoulder. The next thing I knew, I was tired up and being held down by Alex.

"Filthy mudblood! Die!" Voldemort pointed his wand at my chest and was about to shout a cruse when a spell hit Voldemort, the ropes, Alex, and Voldemort all gone. There stood Harry wearing his Quiddtich uniform and holding up his broom in one hand, his wand in the other. I got up and ran into his arms, holding him tight. He embraced me tightly and smiled warmly. The next thing I knew know, I was on his broom, his arms around my waist as we flew through the night sky, Hogwarts below us and the moon above. He smiled and laced his fingers with mine, one arms still around my waist. He leaned down and his lips meet mine. When we pulled apart, I cold feel myself blushing and I smiled, as did he.

"Hermione, I love you. I'll always be there for you, I promise." Harry said, kissing me again.

Out of dream

"Candy, wake up!" Lillian said in the morning, making me wake up. My eyes blinked fast, my eyes adjusting to the warm sun. I stretched and smiled at her. She opened the door for me and I grabbed my things, heading into the cabin. I walked up the stairs and put my stuff in the room I was sharing with Alex. I sighed and sat on the bed that we had to share and looked out the sliding glass door, watching the sun glitter on the water and shine through the green forest.

"Someone please help me." I muttered, longing to be the free bird outside, resting on the rail of the balcony. Oh, how I wanted to be that bird.
