Open Eyes

Chapter 1. An Empty Soul in An Empty House

It was an extraordinary night. The sky was so clear and bright. You could see almost every star in the universe.

People everywhere stopped their activities just to look at the sky. It seemed so peaceful, as if it wanted people to

forget the war and remember it could also be, instead of war.

It seemed to affect everybody except for one person. That person was huddled up against her bedroom wall, her

arms around her legs and her head resting on her knees.

She was only 16 years old but her eyes reflected a knowledge, a 40 year old would envy.

But she didn't care, she didn't care about the knowledge, she didn't care about it one bit. She would give more than

she owned to just not know what she knew.

Because it was to much to handle, to much to life for and to much to die for.

She was trapped, trapped in her own mind, trapped between love and hate, trapped between friends and enemies.

And the worst of all; she was only one who could get herself out of it!

Hermione let out a deep sigh of depression.

'What had happened?' she thought 'it happened so fast'

That was true, in a couple of months Voldemort had risen and took over the entire country. Hogwarts had been

destroyed and a lot of students had been killeed. Deatheaters were everywhere.

Wizards and withches all around the country had fought against Voldemort, but it was no use. He was winning.

More people joined him everyday. They were with so much, and the ones who fought them would lose more

friends everyday. Harry, Ron and Hermione ran away at last, trying to reach somewhere save but she lost her

two best friend somewhere on the way. She managed to reach her house, not knowing where Harry or Ron could

be.

When she finally got home, she found an empty house.Not only her parents were gone, but also all the furniture

was gone. Her parents had been killed, she felt it, she knew it. There was no other place where they could be. Evil

was everywhere.

She stayed in the house, not knowing what to do or where to go.

Hermione let out another sigh.

'It's hopeless' she thought 'It's never gonna be the same'

But still, she wasn't gonna stay here and wait untill the war was over. Oh no, she was going to fight it, even if it

was the last thing she did.

Suddenly there were noises downstairs.

Hermione lifted her head and listened to the sounds. The sounds of Deatheates, she could recognize them

everywhere.

'Shit' Hermione whispered. She tried to stay calm.

'If they catch me I'm dead' she thought.

Her mind was working on top speed.

Alone. Deatheaters. Second Floor. No Way Out.

'Dammit' Hermione said a little too loud. Her voice echoed in the empty house and the noise stopped.

Hermione allowed herself to panic now.

'Oh My God, Oh My God, Oh My God' was the only thing her mind could prduce.

She heard footsteps on the stairs and low voice say 'You check those rooms, i'll check these'

Hermione stared at the door 'Don't Open, Don't Open, Don't Open' she tried to order the door but it wasn't much

use.

The handle moved, Hermione's heart beat so fast she thought her chest was going to blow.

The door opened. Hermione took a deep bearth and closed her eyes.

'This is it' She thought.

She heard someone coming in.

'Hermione Granger' said a familiar voice.

Her eyes snapped open.
