Part 2

Hermione's body lay unconscious in Hagrid's massive bed while the semi- giant placed cold cloths on her forehead.

-Come on Hermione, wake up.

At that moment he heard a knock in the back of his cabin, curious he walked out with his crossbow loaded, he saw Firenze.

-Firenze.

-Death has come to the dark forest. one of our own was beheaded. just moments ago.

-WHAT?

-Be careful. the stars show. only darkness.

Hagrid glared in silence as Firenze walked back into the forest, then he walked back into the cabin, to his surprise Hermione was already gone, the next morning Harry and Ron were surprised that after the second class Hermione was nowhere to be found, it was until Ginny found her sleeping in the garden behind the school that they knew her whereabouts.

-Hermione? -Ginny said shaking her a little

-Ginny?

-Are you OK?

-Where am I?

-You're on the back garden; let me take you to madam Ponfrey's

-What. what time is it?

-It's past lunch time.

-WHAT?

-Calm down, you better

But before Ginny could say another word Hermione got up and ran back into the Griffindor Tower. In the girls room Hermione changes into a clean robe and ran down to the potions class. Meanwhile Draco Malfoy meets his father in Slytherin's common room.

-You want me to go around asking people if they got a weird ring in their morning mail?

-FOOL!! That ring is the most powerful magical object ever created, in the wrong hands it may pose a threat to anyone.

-Wait. I remember seeing that mudblood Granger pick something up a couple of weeks ago right after the morning mail came.

Lucius turned around with a mix of anger and shock.

-The mudblood in possession of the ring? You better find out if she has it. it can not be in her hands.

-Yes father.

-If what I fear is correct we don't have much time.

-Why?

-Because it's owner has already sent for it.

-Sauron?

-SHUT UP!!! Dare not to mention his name.. the Nazgul are probably on their way. if they find her before you do, we'll lose the ring.

-I'll go find Granger

Draco walked out of Slytherin's common room and headed towards Griffindor Tower, he saw Hermione coming out.

-Granger

-What do you want?

-I have to ask you something

-I don't have time for you; I have to go to class

Draco grabbed her arm and ducked just in time to avoid her punch, he then took her by the blouse and slammed her against the wall.

-What's your problem mudblood?

-Let. go. of. me.

-I will when you answer me a question.

-For the last time. let. me. go.

-Answer me and I'll release you, did you found a ring two weeks ago during breakfast?

-IT'S MINE!!!!!!!! ITS MY TREASURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Draco couldn't believe the strength of the girl when she literally lifted him from the floor and slammed him against the opposite wall, he also saw in amazement the eyes of the girl as they turned greenish and her voice got a high pitched tone

-You'll not take the treasure from us.

She took out her wand and pointed it to Draco

-AVADA..

-HERMIONE STOP!!! -Yelled Harry

The girl glared at him for a moment and slowly lowered her arm

-Hermione calm down you have to

-Harry look. behind her. -Said a terrified Ron

Walking behind Hermione a huge hooded figure drew a sword

-EXPELLIARMUS!!!!!!!!!!!

Hermione screamed and fell to the floor as the sword flew from the hands of her attacker, Ron pulled her up.

-Since when Dementors use swords!? -Asked Ron

-That's not a Dementor you moron -Replied Draco as he hid behind them -Malfoy what are you talking about? -Replied Harry

-Granger has a ring and they have come to claim it

-THEY? WHAT DO YOU MEAN "THEY"? -Yelled Ron

-Look, he's going to get that sword back, let's go and I'll explain everything -Answered Malfoy

-And why should we trust you? -Asked Harry while the Nazgul recovered his sword

-Look, I know what I'm talking about, let's go!!! NOW!!!

Doubting, Harry and Ron who was pulling Hermione followed Malfoy until they got into a secret passage that Harry, Ron nor Hermione knew about.

-What is this place Malfoy? -Harry asked.

-Just a place of my own.

-Can you tell us what that thing was? -Ron asked

-It's a Nazgul

-A what?

Hermione looked at him in shock and answered in a voice filled with fear

-They are the kings who sold their souls to the dark lord Sauron. their only goal is the get the ring back to him

-What ring? -Asked Harry

Hermione got up turned around crying

-It's my fault. all my fault.

-What? What are you talking about? -Asked Harry

-I. I. found. the ring. and.

Her voice changed again to that strange high pitched tone

-THE TREASURE IS OURS!!! WE WON'T GIVE IT TO HIM!!! SHUT UP!!! HERMIE LEAVE ME ALONE!!!

Harry and Ron glared in awe, Draco on the other hand wasn't too surprised.

-The ring is consuming her. she already developed another personality. she's not the first I can tell you that.

Harry got close turned Hermione around, the girl hugged him with all her might crying and Harry could feel that she was loosing it.

-I'm sorry..

-It's not your fault.

The girl released him.

-I have to go.

Ron held her hand

-What? That thing is out there.

-Look, they want this nightmare right? Well I'm giving it to them; Look Harry, I can't keep going with this anymore, if they want it, they'll get it.

-NO!! -Yelled Draco, Hermione glared at him

-Since when do you care a bit about what happens to me? If they kill me you'll have one less mudblood to worry about.

-Give me the ring. -Malfoy demanded

-Excuse me?

-You heard me Granger, give me the ring, now.

-Why should I give something as powerful as this to you? Do you think I'm stupid? I know the power this ring has, I rather give it to them than you.

Draco got his wand out.

-ACCIO RING!!!!!!!!!!!!

But to his amazement the ring blasted him back through the wall knocking him out, Hermione ran out.

-HERMIONE WAIT!!! -Yelled Harry as he went after her

As she ran, Hermione could feel the power of the Nazgul getting close to her, and, as she turned in one of the corridors, she found herself face to face with one of the hooded figures, she stepped back just to feel an ice cold blade tearing into her skin and her insides, she didn't even yelled, the tears on her face where the only signs of pain she showed, when Harry arrived he only saw the blade leaving the body of his friend and her body falling limp to the ground.

-NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
