plz send me reviews to make me better ^_^
Hermione and Harry walked outside, making sure no teacher or student had spotted them. Hermione threw her hair over her shoulder and gave Harry a look while they were walking towards the forest to find Thestrals. Harry seemed to be very tense and tired, but still determind and in her eyes, handsome. She quickly shook her head and looked in front of her again. Harry had noticed she had been looking, he stared at his feet. He hadn't been thinking of her feelings towards him anymore, nor had he been thinking of the feelings he had for her. If he had them. He still wasn't sure if he really felt more than friendship. Maybe because he was afraid to risk it.
'There's one..' Hermione said, pointing at a tree, behind it was a Thestral. Harry suddenly remembered his question. 'Hermione,.. who? How can you see them?' Hermione sighed and suddenly stopped walking. 'My mother died this summer,... I didn't want anyone to know it.' Harry saw her hands were shaking. 'I didn't want to believe it myself, so I tried to avoid the fact,.. she's gone,...' tears were dripping to the soft forestground. Harry quickly embraced her to comfort her. He closed his eyes and breathed in her hair. It smelled like pumpkins and honey. He felt how she continued crying on his shoulder, but he didn't mind. he knew exactly how she felt.
'I-I'm sorry,...' Hermione whispered while getting lose from Harry's embrace. 'I was,..being selfish,...' Harry quickly replied 'No no! You weren't selfish! Hermione,.. losing your mother must be so hard,.. it's okay to cry!'. Hermione smiled bitterly. 'We should get going. I don't want Lupin or Tonks to die too...' she finished, while moving towards the Thestral. 'we need to find two if we want to get Tonks and Lupin back with us...' Harry said. Hermione nodded and pointed behind him. 'There's another one'.
The flight to Soleil School was quick and before they both knew it, they were standing in front of the yellow gate. 'How did you come in last time?' asked Harry. 'Portkey' replied Hermione, showing him her ring. Harry frowned 'You couldn't go back with that?' Hermione shook her head. 'One way portkey' she explained. 'And now what? Wait untill we get into that horrible place again?' Harry asked, with a little scared undertone in his voice. Hermione shook her head. 'No, we're not going back..down. there's only one way to get past this,..' Hermione narrowed her eyes. 'I told you, yellow gates are Sphinx gates,... to pass correctly, you have to answer the question right,..' she pointed with her wand at the little sign. 'what did it ask you the last time?' Hermione asked Harry. 'Uhm.. it was in Latin, it asked our names, so Ron and me gave it and then the ground started to shake... and you know where we ended up then.' Hermione frowned. 'of course you shouldn't have said your own names,.. the gate would know you were an outsider so of course, wouldn't let you pass,..' she said. 'Who's name should we have said then? Yours?' Harry asked slightly annoyed. 'Of course not. I was already inside, wasn't I? You had to mention the name of someone that belonged at this place but wasn't in school...' suddenly she smiled widely and clapped her hands. 'Of course! I could just say my name now and you could say Luna's!'
Easy said, easy done. Hermione simply stated her name and Harry did Luna's. The gate opened it's wooden doors and showed them a long path towards the entrance of the Soleil School for Sorcery. Harry gave Hermione a bit unsure look but Hermione smiled. 'It's okay,.. we'll make it...' she told him.
They did make it already. When they opened the door, 4 Death Eaters, plus Lucius Malfoy and his son, were waiting for them. Hermione gasped in horror and drew her wand, pointed it at Lucius and try to see from the corner of her eyes what Harry was doing. Harry was doing exactly the same.
'Well, well, well, what have we got here? Two lost heroes perhaps?' grinned Lucius. 'Put that away Potter, do you actually think you'd make a chance?' he added. Before Harry could answer, Draco grinned; 'Let him dad, he loves to play the hero, don't you Potter?' he finished smirking. Harry could've done anything at that moment, but Hermione was the one who did it. 'CRUCIO!!!!'
Unfortunalty for them, Draco dodged the cruciatus curse with ease, pointed his wand at Hermione and said; 'So, the Mudblood's sticking up for Potty? What's up with you two? ..no, no don't tell me,...' Draco started to laugh 'They're in love' he laughed even harder. Hermione flushed and Harry still pointed his wand at Lucius, but now a bit shaking. 'Get them into the Locus' Lucius said bored, turning his back at Harry and letting the four Death Eaters do the work. Draco lowered his wand smirking and followed his father.
Hermione and Harry were surounded by the Death Eaters. They stood with their backs against eachother. 'This isn't good...' Hermione said in a paniced voice. Harry suddenly got an idea. 'Hermione,... have you been looking up how to Apparate somewhere?' Hermione suddenly let out a gasp of relief. 'Of course I have! I will be able to pass the exams perfectly...' she closed her mouth abrupt, turning her head a bit left so she could see Harry's back. 'Grab my hand, I'm gonna try!' Harry grinned and grabbed her hand.
One of the Death eaters raised his wand and pointed it at Harry's face. 'Hermione, NOW would be a good time to-' he couldn't finish his sentence because the next moment he felt as if he was near a tornado and suddenly fell to a floor. Next to him he saw Hermione get up and look around. He did the same. The room was bright, had two huge windows and a lot of pictures on the walls. 'What is this place?' asked Harry. Hermione wanted to answer with 'I don't know...' but gasped while saying that. There, on the wall, was a picture of her family.
