" UUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!" Hermione said ( more like
mumbled) as the morning sun hit her face. Groaning she turned over and buried her head into her
pillow, refusing to give in to the suns wake up call.
Mornings, oh how she hated some of these dreadfull mornings, and first off, why was there so much
light in her bedroom... wait a second....
Hermione raised her head slowley and looked around. This wasnt her bedroom...this was
Hogwarts!!! She looked down towards the lake where she could see the Griffindor seventh
years...gasp! her class!!... heading to Care of Magical Creatures!
It only took Hogwarts smartest witch approximatley 5 seconds to put everything together and
realize that she had over slept and was late for the first class of the year.
"DAMMIT!" she yelled and grabbed her Hogwarts robes quickly undressing in what must have been a
world record. She pulled her curly bushy hair into a high loose ponytail and then opened the
trap door sprinting down the hidden stairwell with her books.
"Shit, shit, shit, shit," she muttered as she sprinted through the halls of Hogwarts and strait
for the main entrance. She skidded through the halls nearly falling close to twenty times in
five minutes. The entrance was open and she sprinted outside as quickly as her legs could take
her. Ahead, the crowd of Griffindors and Slytherins sat sprawled out on the ground listening to
Hagrid speak. Just as she got there her name was called.
" Hermione Granger?" Hagrid said looking through the students for her.
"HERE!" she yelled about ten feet away from everyone else in the class running up and plopping
herself beside Neville, attempting to catch her breath.
"Hello there Hermione," Hagrid greeted smiling. " Good t'e see ya!" he said and then continued
through the list of students as though she wasn't late at all. This of course, was another main
reason why Hagrid was one of her favorite teachers at Hogwarts.
She felt people looking at her and turned around to see Draco Malfoy smirking at her from the
Slytherin side of the "class room" (though more like the grass). He mouthed something that looked
all too close to "mudblood" and she glared back at him.
However when she turned around, she saw that not only was Harry looking at her with concern but
half of the other Griffindors were too.
'Now why are they all looking at me?' she thought as she pulled her knees up to her chest and
hugged her self protectively.
She nudged Neville and he looked around until he realised (which can take a long time for
Neville) that it was Hermione who had nudged him.
"What?" he asked, looking at her curiousley.
Hermione sighed, Neville was her closest friend, but sometimes she worried about him.
" Why are all the other Griffindors looking at me?" she whispered, looking around cautiosley.
Neville got a look of utter terror on his face, and hermione knew he wasn't telling her something.
" Neville." she said, in her Mc Gonnagle voice, demanding an answer.
" I... don't... know?" Neville answered weakly trying to look innocent.
"Neville, please tell me!!!" Hermione urged quietly, she knew she could get anything out of
Neville Longbottom.
"Well," Neville said and then sighed. He leaned over and began to whisper into her ear.
" Harry left the common room last night and went to check if you were still asleep." Neville
started. Hermione hit her head and realised her own stupidity. She wasn't there... he might
have thought she was kidnapped or something... uh-oh... this could only mean she was in for a
hell of a LOT of explaining.
Neville continued.
" Harry then came back to the commonroom and told Ron, who then told his girlfriend Lavander, who
told Parvati, who decided it be best to tell Dumbledore..." Neville said pausing for a second to
let it all sink in.
"And then what Neville!!! Please tell me that he didn't tell them about Mum!" Hermione whispered
horror evident on her face. She couldn't let them now yet... not now... not to have all the
pain and memories resurface as if they were new and have it happen all over again.
"No, he didn't. Remember he promised he wouldn't." Neville pointed out before continuing with
his story.
" Anyways, Dumbledore said, I quote," Mrs. Granger, has her own private bussiness to attend to
tonight. Please return to the common room, she is safe." and then he hearded them off back to
the commonroom. But Harry stayed up all night in the head room waiting... and then you weren't at
breakfast..." Neville trailed off and shrugged.
Hermione was banging her head on her knee's now, cursing her bad luck.
Neville put a hand on her shoulder and comforted her. She looked up at her friend and sighed.
" You do realize, now they are all going to want to know where I went." hermione said.
Neville nodded sympathetically and then stood up as he noticed all the other Griffindors were
doing. Stratigically placing one arm around Hermione's waist he pulled her up after him and then
whispered. "Don't worry about it."
******************************************************************************
Ofcourse though as soon as Care of Magical Creatures ended, she had something to worry about.
She picked up her books quickly and then got up to leave. Speed walking, she was half way to the
entrance hall when Harry and Ron caught up to her.
"Hermione, where were you last night." Harry asked, jogging to keep at her pace.
"No where." she said, sticking her nose up into the air in an attempt to ignore them and
continued walking at her abnormally fast pace.
"Hermione, we know that you went somewhere. What have you been up too?" Ron said frustrated at
her attitude, after all they were only worried about her safety.
" None of your Buisness Mr. Weasley and Mr.Potter. Now if you will excuse me," Hermione said as she rounded the corner and headed off to Arithmacy class.
Harry sighed fustrated as they watched her walk away. They couldn't follow her after all since
they had to get to Divinition, their FAVORITE subject ( note sarcasm).
Dean Thomas walked by and Harry stopped him by placing a hand on his shoulder.
"Dean, try and figure out what she's hiding ok?" Harry asked and Dean knew who SHE was. After
all, he too was worried about his fellow Griffindor. She hadnt been the same since fifth year.
Lavander and Parvati had told him that sometimes she would sneak out, or cry for hours
everynight.
"Sure Harry, though I doubt that she will tell me. You know Hermione, she can keep a secret
better than anyone we know." Dean said and then followed Hermione on the way to Arithmacy class.
Ron turned around however and found himself face to face with no other then Neville Longbottom
and Ginny Weasley.
"You shouldn't be messing around in her private life." Ginny said putting her hands on her hips.
Ron snorted and looked at his sister defiantley. Harry on the other hand, was more curious.
" You know don't you Ginny. You know where she was last night, and the nights before that. You
know why she cryed everynight for the past two years too. You know why she stopped talking to
everyone as well. Don't you Ginny?" Harry stated, looking at her curiousley.
'
Ginny opened her mouth to retort but Neville stepped in front of her.
" So what if we do know, just leave her alone." he said and then walked off. Ginny looked at
Harry and sighed.
" Give her time." she said and then walked off after Neville leaving two boys dumbfounded.
