well, the anger deepens.... lets found out what Hermione, Ron and Harry are up to now ^-^.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hermione didn't sleep that night. She sat up in the Owlery, thinking about Ron and Harry.
Why would they ever hurt her the way they did? She never did anything to them. When she told Dumbledore about them running into the forest, she was trying to save them. She was trying to make them realize it was wrong. But they didn't care...
Soon the sun rose over the grounds ,beautiful pinks, reds and yellows, making the morning dew sparkle. Hermione watched Hagrid do his morning chores as Fang ran in and out of the forest.
Hermione thought back to the night before. What if Hagrid found her? What if she told him about Harry and Ron? Would Hagrid have stopped them? Would they have realized then it was wrong?
Hermione climbed up onto a window ledge and sat watching the sun rise. She felt at peace with herself in the Owlery, where she wouldn't be mad...
Suddenly, Hermione heard footsteps. Her head shot to the door as the footsteps got louder. She heard voices too.
'This is the last place to look,' said a muffled voice.
'I wonder if she heard you last night?' said another voice.
The footsteps stopped. Hermione knew who it was. Ron and Harry were standing behind the door... She thought she was safe here, where she couldn't be mad. She didn't want to be mad... She didn't want to go through everything again...
'I think she did.'
'Well, you shouldn't have said it then!'
'I didn't know she was there!'
'Oh, so you wouldn't have said it if you knew she was there?'
Thank-you Ron, Hermiont thought to herself.
'I... I don't know. Lately, she's been budding into everything.'
'We should've told her the plan in the first place Harry! If you would've agreed with me, then we wouldn't be in this mess.'
'I don't want her to get hurt, that's all.'
Hermione felt her stomach do a flip-flop. Did Harry actually mean it? He knows I'm here, Hermione thought, he's lying to make up for last night. Hermione slid down to the floor as the door opened and Harry and Ron emerged.
Harry and Ron talked to each other, but Hermione couldn't hear anything. Her heart was pounding in her chest and her ears rang loudly as though someone had just blew a horn in them. She stood still and stared at her once called friends, anger and loathing filling her veins.
'Don't lie, Harry!' Hermione yelled. 'It's not going to work!'
Harry and Ron looked at her, appaerantly shocked to actually find her here. Harry looked confused, but Hermione knew he was tricking her. He had to be.
'Lie about what?' asked Harry.
'About you not wanting me to get hurt! Your just trying to cover up for last night!' snapped Hermione.
'I don't want you to get hurt-'
'It's like Ron said! You probably wouldn't have said those things about me if you knew I was there!'
'That's not true-' pleaded Harry.
'Then why did you say it! Why did you say it in the first place! Why!' Hermione yelled at Harry. Ron was standing behind Harry, looking at Hermione with something Hermione has never seen before. It was like he was sorry for something...
'Hermione, please listen-'
'You know what? I don't want to hear your stupid excuses anyway! Go ahead and get yourselves killed! See if I care! I only tried to help you, to make you understand! But you didn't see! You are to blinded by your own self-greed! You don't have to save the world every year Harry! Leave it alone for once! Let someone else do it, cause your are just trying to get yourself killed! I don't care anymore!' Hermione yelled.
Everything was quiet. Harry seemed to become interested in his feet and Ron was still standing behind Harry. Hermione felt tears fall down her face. She wiped them away furiously and glared at the both of them.
'Hermione,' Harry began.
'Shut up, Harry. Just for once don't say anything because nothing is going to change the things you said.' Hermione ran past Harry and Ron.
She heard them calling her, but she shut their voices out. She bounded down the stairs and looked around the corridor and headed to Dumbledore's office.
*
Hermione stopped in front of the stone gargoyle and realized that she didn't know how to get in. She stood, staring at the stone gaygoyle feeling lost even though she knew where she was.
Half an hour past when the stone gargoyle jumped aside and McGonagall stepped from the staircase and saw Hermione staring blankly at where the stone gargoyles face one stood.
'Miss Granger!' yelped McGonagall, stepping back. 'What are you doing? It's very early in the morning.'
'I need to speak with Professor Dumbledore.' said Hermione blankly, looking at McGonagall.
'I'm sorry, but Professor Dumbledore is busy at the moment.' said McGonagall sternly, smoothing her robes in matter-of-factly way.
'I need to talk to him.' said Hermione loudly.
'I am sure it can wait.' said McGonagall cooly.
'It can't wait!' screamed Hermione.
McGonagall looked taken back, her stern face gone and a look of surprise on her face. 'Now reallt Miss Granger! You will have to control your anger! The Headmaster is busy-'
'It's about Harry and Ron!'
McGonagal closed her mouth quickly, her lips pursed not in hatred but in anxeity. She looked at Hermione and seemed to notice the blotches on Hermione's face and the dark circles under her eyes from the lack of sleep.
'Yes... well, come. I'm sure that the Headmaster could spare some time for this... subject.' McGonagall looked sullen and her face had gone white.
'Dumbledore told... told you about Harry and Ron?' asked Hermione, almost hopefully.
'Well yes. They are in my house and I am took look after them. I have been watching them since the night you told Professor Dumbledore about Harry and Ron. He rushed to me and the other teachers. We have been very worried. Now come.' said McGonagall and she pulled Hermione into the twirling stair case. Hermione looked at McGonagall as they rose, closer to Dumbledore's office.
They stopped and McGonagall opened the door and took Hermione out of the staircase. Dumbledore looked up and didn't smile. He seemed to know what was going on. The twinkle in his eyes were gone as Hermione sat down.
'Professor, Harry and Ron are still going to the forest-'
Dumbledore held up a hand to silence Hermione. 'I know Hermione. And that is why you are here. I have been watching them and you were very brave to go after them last night, yet very foolish. What they are doing is very dangerous and I know you are a very smart witch, but you wouldn't be ready for what they are doing.'
'Why are they allowed to still do it then?' spat Hermione.
'We are trying to stop them, and you seem to be trying also.' added Dumbledore.
'Not anymore.' mumbled Hermione.
'I became worried when you did not return, but then I saw you come from the forest. You seemed mad about something. You are mad about Harry and Ron not including you in the plan?' asked Dumbledore.
'No. I don't care about their stupid plan. They can go get themselves killed for all I care.' said Hermione plainly.
'Now you really don't mean that do you?' asked Dumbledore smoothly.
Hermione looked at him for awhile, her hate for Harry and Ron running through her mind. Anyone close to Harry and Ron made her angry. Dumbledore made her angry. McGonagall made her angry. She made herself angry.
'Yeah, I do mean it.' mumbled Hermione.
'I don't think you do.' whispered Dumbledore. 'If you didn't care, then why did worry when you told about Harry and Ron? Why did you try so many times to stop them, failed and tried again? Why did you run after them the other night when you saw them go into the forest? Deep down, you do care.'
'They said things about me. They've ignored me for so long. I don't care. They're out of my life forever.' said Hermione as though it was nothing.
'They just want you to be safe. What they are doing is dangerous and they don't want you getting hurt.'
'That's what they said...'
'And it's true.' interupted Dumbledore. 'I know you may think they don't want you to come with them, but they don't want you hurt. They care for you and they wouldn't want to see you hurt.'
'Well it may be true and it may not be true, but right now I really don't care.' hissed Hermione. 'They are being complete idiots! Running around like that! They know what is out there, they now they could get killed! All they want is the attention!'
'Hermione, the only person that can save the wizarding world is Harry.' Dumbledore said sullenly. His face fell as he came to the topic. 'They have a bond like none other and you have to understand that Harry may die this year when he and Voldemort go into the final battle. You have to understand that Harry now what may lie ahead for him and he is willing to take that risk. Harry might die at the end of the year, letting Voldemort take over the wizarding world like before or come back victorious and the wizarding world will be at peace.'
Hermione gulped. What if Harry did die? She couldn't bare to think about it. She wouldn't be able to live without Harry. It wasn't that she loved him, but he was the closet thing to a brother she had. And she wouldn't make it without him by her side.
'Well what... what about Ron? Why does Harry have Ron tagging along with him?' asked Hermione, trying not to dread the answer.
'Some questions can't be answered right now, but I can't stop Harry unless he is willing too. I am sorry, but you have to understand and you have to care.' said Dumbledore sadly.
Hermione only nodded. She stood up and walked slowly out of the room, shutting the door behind her.
