"Now, when I say to go, run, and don't look back. Pretend your being chased by your worst fear. That will help you run faster."

Parvati and Lexi were standing at a secret exit in the back of the dungeons. It was an exit only certain people were supposed to know about. The passage was actually in the front of the dungeon but you had to say a charm at the wall next to the door for you to get through. The two girls were standing at the exit. The wind was blowing in making their hair fly all over.

Lexi looked around at the gray stone. She didn't want to leave her rescuer here. She had done so much for her in a small amount of time. It seemed as though Parvati hated to be here.

~::Flashback::~

"So, why do you stay here?" Lexi asked Parvati. She sighed.

"I was forced to marry Draco. My parents died in a death eater attack, and after that, I was captured and forced to marry him."

"But, don't you like him, even a little?"

"I did in school, but that was before I knew what a bastard he was..."

~::End Flashback::~

"Come with me." Lexi said abruptly.

"What?"

"Come with me. Im sure you can stay with mom and me." She said.

Suddenly they heard footsteps above them. The both gasped and their eyes widened. Parvati whispered for her to go and run as she pushed her down the passage. Lexi followed her instructions and didn't look back. She just ran as fast as she could.

* * *

It seemed as though she had run for miles. The wind was blowing against her face making the water come out of her eyes and run down her face. She, never in her life, would have thought that she could run this fast.

Her eyes widened when she came over a hill. She almost cried at the sight. Right before her eyes was the town of Hogsmeade. She couldn't have run this far. It only had to be about a mile and a half. Maybe the Malfoy's weren't so secluded after all. I wonder how the locals would feel if they knew that Voldemort was less than five miles away?

She began to drag herself farther towards the city. She could usually run farther than this, but in this particular case, she was mostly tired mentally. As her feet stepped on the short green grass, she felt as though there was someone following her. Lexi quickly whipped around and stopped in her tracks. No one was there. She took a deep breath and continued walking.

* * *

"Finally" Lexi whispered. She had reached the big silver gate to the town. As she reached up to press the button that let her in, a hand reached out and covered her mouth. She tried to scream but it was too late. She was being pulled backwards and was thrown onto the ground. Before she knew what was going on, the was knocked out and thrown onto a large sack...

Hermione dropped her phone and fell to the ground. This could not be happening. If only she had said that Lexi couldn't come, none of this would be happening. She slowly lay down on the soft grass and began to cry.

"Herms?" A voice said. "Will you talk to me?" The voice said again.

Hermione felt her body being sat up and arms wrapping around her. She didn't care who it was; she needed someone to hold her. She stayed like this for at least ten minutes before she sniffed and looked up.

She saw a pair or sparkling green eyes looking lovingly down at her. Hermione gasped and jumped back. This was the one person she did not want to be in the arms of at the moment.

"Harry." She stated as she cast her eyes to the ground.

"Hermione, can we talk?" Harry asked her as he lightly took hold of her arm.

"Why?"

"You know damn well why!" He said, laughing. She nodded for him to continue.

"Why didn't you tell me about Lexi?" He began. He reached out his other arms and pulled Hermione onto his lap. She didn't resist as she watched the blades of grass being ripped out of the ground by her feet when they were dragged. That must be exactly how his heart feels. She ripped his heart out.

"I - I thought you might not- you might not want me anymore." She sniffled. Harry eyes widened.

"How could you ever have thought that? I loved you!" He told her softly, but a tad forceful. He hugged her and kissed her cheek. Hermione felt more tears stinging her eyes. She just sat helpless in his arms as he hugged her.

"I know, but-"

"No, scratch that. I still love you. It pained my heart everyday knowing that I couldn't see you, that I couldn't talk to you, and that I couldn't even write to you. When I saw you for the first time today, I couldn't believe my eyes. I thought I had died and gone to heaven. But it pained me even more that I had had a daughter all these years and never knew it. I could have been there for her. All I know is that I love you, and that hasn't changed all these years." He finished. By this time Hermione was crying profusely.

"No, Harry, you don't still love me. You don't want to love a person like me." She stated and wriggled out of his arms. He gaped as she ran away from him. Why was she acting like this?



Before he knew it, tears were also streaming out of his eyes. His brain was telling him to go after her, but his heart was telling him to let her go. It felt as though the love of his life had ran out of his life.

Well, I'm up and about again, with a new chapter!

I wanted to end with an ellipsis (u no the ...thingy) and then say the word "forever", but it didn't feel right.

Review!
