~*~*~*~*~*~ CHAPTER FIFTEEN: THE WORLD GOES BLACK
Hermione rushed into Care of Magical Creatures, much to the quizzing looks of the other students.
"Hagrid, I'm so sorry! I was." Hermione racked her brain for an excuse "I wasn't feeling very well. Nasty flu going around you know?!"
"'allo there Hermione! Come 'n join 's I were just gittin ready ta demonstrate how ter recognize em centaur hoof prints." Hagrid said as he motioned for her to join the class.
Hermione quickly stood in between Ron and Harry, where Harry leaned in and whispered, "So what really kept you?"
Hermione's heart skipped a beat. She couldn't tell them the truth!
"I--uh--well you see--I already told you, I didn't feel very good, since I was shoving food down my throat, and I hung back for a while to let my stomach settle" Hermione said, trying to cover up her uncertainness by speaking forcefully.
"Hermione why can't you just tell us the truth" Ron said somewhat irritated. Noticing, Hermione decided to use this for her best interest.
"Well then Ron, I wouldn't be me." She said, teasingly
"Hermione Granger!" Ron whined like a child wanting to know their Christmas presents.
Oh great! Now I've gone and made him curious. C'mon Hermione! Think! Hermione had a pounding headache but she ignored it.
"Look, I don't know why you two can't just accept such a simple fact. You think that everything is some grand adventure or something!" Hermione said with a smile
"Well then Hermione, we wouldn't be us," Harry teased back as he ducked Hermione's swat. "But seriously, Hermione you would NEVER be late for a class unless you had a good reason too" Hermione's heartbeat quickened and Hermione could feel sweat perspiring on her forehead.
Blimey he got me! Leave it to Harry to think of something like that. Okay, think Hermione. You can do this; just think of a place you had to be. C'mon! THINK!
Hermione took a deep breath, her chest seemed tighter, and it was harder to get air.
How am I supposed to come up with something like that in a couple of seconds!
"Hermione are you okay?" Ron asked
"Yea..I'm fine..I--"
Hermione felt blood rush to her head, and suddenly her pounding headache was so intense Hermione thought she would die. She felt dizzy and saw the room spinning. All the spinning seemed to upset her stomach and she clung to it as she felt the world go black.
