Hermione walked into the room she had been sharing with Ginny and closed the door behind her.
"'Mione…hah…" Hermione mumbled to herself as she fell onto her bed. "Like I'd want anybody to call me that…" A smile and blush came to Hermione's face as she remembered that Ron had said that he liked the sound of it. "Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if Ron called me 'Mione… it actually sounded okay when he said it…" The blush on her face brightened, she couldn't believe that she had actually said that out loud, even if it was only to herself.
Hermione sighed and closed her eyes. She then heard a door downstairs open, Mrs. Weasley's voice following shortly behind. Mrs. Weasley had gone to the hospital to see if they were allowing the Granger's to have any visitors. Hermione hadn't been allowed to see them since she left the hospital herself and from the sound of it, she wouldn't be able to visit them before school started either. Mrs. Weasley's footsteps were presently heard trekking up the stairs leading to Ginny's room. A knock then came to the bedroom door.
"Hermione? You awake in there dear?" Mrs. Weasley asked, opening the door a slit.
"Yes Mrs. Weasley. Come on in." Hermione responded, opening her eyes and smiling at the older women, hoping for the best.
"I'm sorry, but-" Mrs. Weasley started, until Hermione cut her off.
"Don't worry about it Mrs. Weasley…it's okay…perhaps I'll be able to visit them at Christmas." Hermione said, flashing Mrs. Weasley a weaker smile this time, trying to show her that it was okay.
"Well… if you're really okay…" Mrs. Weasley said, looking at Hermione warily.
"I'm fine, thank you for trying Mrs. Weasley…and thank you for letting me stay over… and for getting my school books…I really do appreciate everything you've done for me…" Hermione said quite sincerely.
"It's the least I can do." Mrs. Weasley said before leaving the room, closing the door behind. Hermione let out a heavy sigh. Once again she would be going to bed on a sour note. Slowly Hermione changed into her pajamas and climbed into bed, closing her eyes tightly and welcoming sleep with open arms. ((or closed eyes! Haha, get it? Sigh…))
Sadly, along with the welcomed sleep came the very much unwelcome nightmares. She had been having nightmares and flashbacks quite often ever since the accident. Though she never told anyone, she felt it best to not worry the others, her dreams were nothing like the ones Harry had. They didn't foretell the future. Although, Harry did have nightmares about his parents deaths, as vague as they were. She decided that, besides the fact that they gave her quite a scare, they were no big deal.
Tonight however, was a different story. Well, the dreams still didn't foretell the future and it still gave her quite a scare. Just this time, the dream was so realistic and twice as scary as it usually was.
The Death Eaters had just barged into her home. Hermione was closest to the front door and she whipped out her wand and pointed it at the Death Eaters shouting stupefy as quickly as possible. They totally outnumbered her though and soon hit her with expeliramus, causing her wand to fly away and herself to slam into the wall behind her. Her parents by then had run into the room and looked horrified at the hooded figures. Hermione regained her balance and yelled for her parents to get away. In the mean time two Death Eaters had come up to her, each gripping one of her arms tightly, causing Hermione to yell even louder. She screamed horrified as jets of green light struck her parents, making them fall limply to the ground, which annoyed a Death Eater very much. So much in fact that he back handed Hermione. After a few hateful comments, most containing the word "mudblood" a wand pointed at her, followed by a muttered curse. A jet of green light came at her and she screamed.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Hermione sat up jerkily in bed, looking around with a start, tears leaking unconsciously from her eyes. Ginny as well woke up with a start, along with the rest of the household. Ron and Harry arrived in Ginny's doorway first, followed shortly by Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, and lagging behind came Fred, George, and Percy.
"I'm… I'm sorry…" Hermione mumbled to the crowd.
"What happened?" Mr. Weasley asked Hermione as she started shaking slightly.
"Just… a bad dream is all… I'm sorry." Hermione said, wiping the tears from her cheeks.
"Don't apologize dear, it's alright." Mrs. Weasley said. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Hermione said in barely a whisper.
"If you need us, you know where to find us, goodnight." Mr. Weasley said cautiously as he pulled his wife from the room. Fred, George, and Percy following sleepily behind.
"You sure you're alright Hermione?" Ron asked her and for a second, Hermione was almost disappointed that Ron hadn't called her "'Mione". Harry stood uneasily behind Ron.
"Yes Ron. I'm fine." Hermione said with a sigh and before anyone could say anything else, she added a "Goodnight." And lay back down. Ron and Harry left with one more glance into the room and then shut the door. Ginny looked over at her roommate and quickly went back to sleep herself.
The next morning things were in there normal state. There was a flurry of people and trunks all over the house. Hermione had gotten up early, she was unable to go back to sleep after her nightmare anyway, and was already packed and ready to go by the time everyone else got up.
Soon the entire crew was packed into a Ministry car and headed towards the Hogwarts Express. The ride was quite uneventful as everyone in the car except for Mrs. Weasley and Hermione were half-asleep.
When they arrived at the station Harry, Hermione, and Ron bid farewell to Mr. and Mrs. Weasley. After Mrs. Weasley promised to keep Hermione updated on her parents that is.
Ron and Harry were presently lugging their and Hermione's trunks onto the train, despite Hermione's complaints. Hermione gave up though and simply leaned against a column and laughed as they struggled with her trunk. From where Hermione was leaning, no more than ten feet away, she could see Malfoy approach Ron and Harry, though he had yet to notice her presence.
"Hello Potter, Weasley." Malfoy drawled with a smirk. "Where's the Mudblood?" Malfoy asked, though he didn't seem very surprised to not see her. Ron made a threatening move towards him, but Harry held him back.
"I'm over here Malfoy." Hermione said disdainfully. Malfoy jumped at her voice and spun quickly around to face her.
"You… you're here?" Malfoy asked in utter disbelief.
"Where else would I be? In the hospital with my parents?" Hermione asked him bitterly. By now Malfoy had regained his composure and his usual smirk took over his face. Harry and Ron had also by now taken their places by Hermione's side.
"Oh yes… How are your parents doing Granger? I trust they're enjoying their naps?" Malfoy asked. This time Hermione made a threatening move towards Malfoy, taking all three boys off guard. Harry and Ron were quick though and each grabbed one of her arms.
Suddenly an image popped in Hermione's head, and that image seemed to be the only thing she could see. She saw the two Death Eaters come up and grab her arms as they forced her to watch her parents helplessly. She shut her eyes tightly and wrenched her arms away from Harry and Ron very roughly as she shouted, "LET ME GO!" She then proceeded to collapse to her knees. Paying no attention to all the looks she was receiving.
"Hermione! What's the matter?" Ron asked in a rush as he knelt beside her. Hermione opened her eyes and looked at Ron and then at Harry who was standing beside Ron.
"I…I don't know… I just had flashback of sorts I guess… don't worry about it… I'm okay." Hermione said as she stood up and boarded the train. Harry and Ron quickly followed her and looked for an empty compartment. Draco merely watched the seen with amusement.
"This is going to be an enjoyable year." Malfoy snickered to himself as he boarded the train as well.
A/N: Sorry all my chapters are short. I just can't seem to be able to write more than this at a time. I can always get my point across for the chapter in this length. I do try to add stuff to make it funner of course, but that's where you come in too! I know where I want this story to go, but if y'all have any ideas of what y'all want to happen, I might just be able to fit them in! Tell me what y'all want to see and I'll do my best to oblige, I'll even give ya credit if ya want! If it weren't for y'all I wouldn't be here!
Reviewing not only helps me and raises my self-esteem, it helps you because I write my chapters faster with more of the stuff you want to see! I know you all got ideas, so give 'em to me! ^_^V
