Saying Goodbye
Brianna woke up the next morning silently. She rolled out of bed and went to Hope's bed; she drew back the curtains to find no one. Brianna ran into the bathroom and got dressed, pulling her hair into a messy ponytail. She ran down the stairs out to the Great Hall for breakfast when she noticed Hope sitting in a corner with her knees pulled up to her chest and her head buried in her hands. So, Brianna ran over to her and sat down next to her to see if she was all right.
"Hope, about last ni-" but Brianna was stopped by Hope's sad voice.
"Can we please not talk about last night, Brianna?" Hope asked.
"Ummm.... yeah sure."
There was a silent pause for a few minutes, neither of the girls talking to each other. Brianna was starring at the ground like it was the most interesting thing she had ever seen before, which wasn't true.
"Do you want to go to breakfast before it's over?" Hope finally spoke.
"Sure...." Brianna replied.
Both girls got up and walked to the Slytherin table together. Brianna was looking around and saw Ron at the entrance to the Great Hall gesturing for her to come over.
"Hope, I'll be right back. I have to check on something," Brianna lied truthfully.
"Ok, whatever," Hope said not paying attention.
Brianna walked over to where Ron was. He grabbed her wrist and dragged her down a deserted hall, and pulled her into an old classroom.
"What are you doing?" Brianna asked while rubbing her wrist continuously.
"I had to ask you something, and I didn't want anyone to hear," Ron said.
"Well, go ahead and ask then."
"Ok. Er... Look, I know this may sound weird, but every time I see you....." Ron paused before finishing what he was going to say. " I get, well, I get this weird feeling."
Brianna thought for a moment. So, he gets the same feeling. Well, at least now I'll have somebody to talk to about it with.
"What kind of feeling?" Brianna asked.
"Well, like I've know you from somewhere. I know I must sound crazy saying this to you, but it's true..... All of it."
"I think I know what you are talking about. I get the same feeling sometimes, like I've seen you somewhere before, or I've talked to you before. But I can't remember any time I've ever done so," Brianna sounded confused.
"Good. I'm glad I wasn't the only one feeling that way."
"What do you think it is?"
"I don't know, do you want to get together this weekend and we can do some research in the library?"
"Yeah, sure."
"See you then"
"Ok, Goodbye"
"Bye."
Brianna watched as Ron walked down the corridor, then she turned around and went to the Great Hall, where she was just lucky enough to catch Hope walking out. So, she stood by her and together, they walked to Potions.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Later that night, Brianna went to the Slytherin common room looking for Hope, she was nowhere to be found. Brianna had searched everywhere possible, or at least everywhere she knew. So, Brianna decided to head her own way back down to the Great Hall do eat dinner, when she heard voices coming from the deserted room she had been in with Ron earlier. She walked over to the cracked door and peered her head in just enough so that she could hear the people talking.
"Hope, I already told you. You cannot tell anybody about this, ok? If word gets out, they will not only come after you..... but the both of us. And I can't afford that kind of a mess right now, got it?"
This was a mans voice, Brianna knew it. It was too deep to be the owner of any women. Then it clicked, why was Hope in here? And with who?
"I know, Draco. I will not let anything happen. Last night was an accident. I-I didn't mean to let it happen. I-It just did, I'm sorry."
"Well, good. Now get out of here, I have to think. If father ever finds out about how you are trying to go against Voldemort, it won't be pretty."
"Yes, Draco."
So, Hope was talking to Draco. But why? And Voldemort? Hope was a death eater? This was getting extremely weird. Brianna heard footsteps coming out of the room so she quickly ran to the Great Hall and sat down at the Slytherin table. Hope walked in and sat down in the seat across from her.
"Hey, Brianna, sorry I'm late," Hope apologized.
"No, problem. So, what do you want to do this weekend?" Brianna asked trying to keep a straight face.
"Umm....well, I'm not really available this weekend. I'm going home for the day; my father has a dinner party that he wants me to accompany him to. I'm sorry. Maybe we can do something next weekend?"
"Yeah, sure. That'd be great."
"May I join you ladies?"
Brianna looked up to find Draco standing right next to her. He looked suspicious. He was up to something. She knew it.
"Ummmm........ yeah sure," Brianna gestured for him to sit down next to her.
"So, what are ya'll doing this weekend?" He asked looking towards Hope.
"I have a dinner party to go to. But, Brianna doesn't have anything to do. Maybe you and her could get together and do something? Ya'll could go to Hogsmeade," Hope referred.
"Sounds like a plan, what'd you think Brianna?" Draco asked.
"Er.... I don't know. I'll have to think about it."
"Suit yourself."
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
"Hey Hope," Brianna stood looking at her mirror while trying on her new top.
"Yeah.....?" Hope responded.
"Do you think I should do something with Draco this weekend?"
There was a silent pause before Hope finally answered Brianna's question.
"Yeah, you would have fun. And plus, it be a great chance for ya'll to get to know each other."
Then, a thought crossed Brianna's mind.
"Shit! I totally forgot! I can't do anything this weekend, Hope. Could you tell Draco I'm sorry?"
"And that reason would be?"
"Well, I'm meeting this guy to do some research in the library on something."
"So, you already have a date this weekend?"
"NO!! It's not a date!! It's anything but a date! I just have to go meet him in the library and we have to do some research."
"Ok, fine. Whatever you say. So, who is this guy anyways?
"Er..... I think his name's Ron."
"RON??"
"Hope.... no offense or anything. But I don't think I stuttered."
"You didn't. But if this is Ron Weasley, and word gets out that you are hanging out with him, there's going to be gossip. I mean, a Slytherin hanging out with a Gryffindor? That's way against code. Sorry."
Brianna let out a little laugh. Since when has Hope been into gossip?
"Ok....." Brianna paused. "Queen of the gossip...."
"So not true. Just don't say I didn't warn you."
"I won't have too......"
"Sure......"
Both girls laughed before Brianna trailed off into a deep slumber.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
"WHAT?" Draco leaned back on his couch as he brushed a piece of blonde hair out of his eyes.
"I know......."
"If she starts hanging out with him, she'll give us all a bad name! She can't just go around giving us all a hard time."
"I'll talk to her. Draco, she's new........ she doesn't know any better."
"Ok. But you better hurry up and do so....."
"I will," Hope paused. "As soon as I come back from father's dinner party. I promise."
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
"Bye Hope!! See you Monday!" Brianna called out to her new friend as she backed away from the carriage her friend was in.
"See you then!" Hope replied.
"Bye!"
Brianna walked back up to the castle alone. She was going to miss Hope. Even though it was only 2 days, it would be lonely. But she would be with Ron, so at least she'd have somebody. Brianna took a left corner where a shadowy figure jumped out and grabbed her, shoving a sock over her head. She was being dragged on the floor when she entered a room and the sack was taken off. Brianna started rubbing furiously at her head, it hurt very badly. She took her hand away and saw the thick, red liquid that she had seen when her mother died. She looked up in terror to see the one person she never wanted to.
"Draco......."
