I ran around the house until I found Tonks and Professor Lupin. They were
in my mother's room, standing over her, her being on the floor, with their
wands raised. I gasped and flung myself at them. Tonks grabbed me before I
could reach them. Lupin said "Tonks, please explain to her what's going on,
in her room" without any smile.
She, on the other hand smiled, but barely. We walked down the hallway and turned into my room. I sat on my bed, wile she tripped over several objects before collapsing on my desk chair. She toyed with her wand for a few seconds trying to think of a way to explain this.
I didn't realize how loud I sighed, because she jumped at the sound of my voice. Then looked at me as if she just realized I was in the room.
"The thing is Hermione," she said choosing each word carefully, "Your mother, I'm afraid, has been attacked my death eater, and has been put under an unidentified curse."
I almost fainted. Tonks had a grim look on her face. "Lupin is doing tests on her now, and I'm afraid she'll have to go to ST. Mungos." She stopped and began to toy with her wand a little, and I said "what about my dad, is he alright? Were he?"
She suddenly looked up and I could see in her eyes. She was truly sorry.
"Hermione, we don't know. We don't know anything yet. Moody is searching everywhere, and you'll have to come with us until everything is sorted." I took a big breath and said "Actually, I was invited to go to the beach for a week. And, well, he said there would be plenty of ministry officials, so could I go there instead?"
Tonks thought this over for a moment. "Well," she finally murmured, "I would think so, but I better come for safety reason too." She smiled and stood up.
"I'll mail Ron to see if we could go their now." I said starting to my desk with my quills and stack of parchment, but she said, "No need, I'll just ask molly herself." The she turned around, tripped over Crookshanks, a rug, and my school bag, and turned down the hallway to the staircase. I sat on my bed and tears dripped down my face on to my hand.
