It Wasn't All A Threat
"Footsteps. No." Wind was blowing hard against my face as I stood in the window. I couldn't jump until exactly 3:01, it was only 2:59. I had two minutes.
"HERMIONE! Get down!" Harry, Ron, and Ginny all came running to me.
"NO! This time I'm doing it Harry! If I can't have your love, then I want nothing!" The clock beeped three times. It was one minute until my life would be over.
"Hermione, come on! This isn't like you!" Ginny screamed at me.
"You're the one who stole him from me! You BITCH!" Why did I say that? I loved Ginny like a sister. This was why I had to go. The clock said it. It was my time.
"Goodbye." I said and stepped forward.
"No! Not even my love!" I heard Ron scream, and all I could think, just seconds before I hit the concrete ground, was,
"Oh, shit."
Harry
"HERMIONE! NO! NO! NO! HOW?! NOOOO!" Ron screamed as he ran out of the common room and down stairs. Ginny and I ran after him. We must have made a lot of commotion in the hallway, because a lot of teachers were coming out of their offices. McGonagall saw us and stopped me.
"What. . .Mr. Potter?"
"Hermione jumped out of the common room window!" I snapped and we kept running. Snape was also among the teachers to come out. We all ran around the corner, and her body was lying on the ground. There was a puddle of blood under her body, growing as she lay. Ron, Ginny, and I all ran up to her.
"HERMIONE!" We screamed.
"Oh my, oh my." McGonagal said. She turned to Snape.
"We need a messenger."
"I know." His face was pale. It baffled me. I always figured he'd take great pleasure in seeing one of his enemy's best friend die. Peeves floated over our head.
"PEEVES!" Snape screamed, his voice almost cracking. He floated down immediately.
"Yes Professor Snape?" He asked mockingly.
"Get Dumbledore, NOW!" He added as Peeves smiled and slowly drifted. When he looked down he noticed Ron pulling Hermione slowly onto his lap, and sped away.
By the time Dumbledore arrived running outside, Ron had pulled Hermione's lifeless body onto his lap, was cradling her, and rocking back and forth, humming mindlessly to himself. His robes were bloodstained and dripping. Dumbledore rushed forward and bent down.
"I was afraid of this. We tried it all, but after three attempts, well, my. . .Minerva, In the morning we will have a remembrance. Would you. . ." Ron cut him off.
"Headmaster, may I?"
"Well, er. . .yes, of course Mr. Weasley. But I will have to. . .er. . .take care of her."
"But. . .wait. . .one more moment." He bent down and looked at her bloody face. It was scratched and bruised, the whole left side bloody from her head being cracked open when it hit the ground. He bent his face to hers and kissed her. "Ok. . .you can." And with a wave of his wand her body disappeared. So did the blood on the ground.
A/N- I'm trying! More to come soon! So please review!
