Chapter 5 is up! I know I'm putting up the story awfully quick but it's just so exciting! I hope you like it! Sigh I wish i owned Harry Potter, but sadly. i dont. so get over it .
Hermione ran straight up the stairs, bumping into a few startled first years as she went. After minutes of straight running uphill, Hermione reached the portrait of the Fat Lady.
"Broomsticks brew," Hermione managed to squeak out between sobs. The fat lady looked at her pityingly and opened up for the girl to go inside.
Once inside, Hermione ran into her dorm room and threw herself onto her bed, crying into her pillow and punching at her mattress before succumbing into just laying there, staring at the ceiling.
"-sniffle- How could I have let Pansy push me around like that? Sure I'm not a beauty queen but she didn't have any right to say that about me! -sniffle- What's wrong with me lately? Usually I would have just hexed her into oblivion or at least threaten to. Why did I have to get all emotional?" Hermione said still staring at the ceiling.
"That's what we were wondering," a voice from the doorway said. Hermione bolted up and saw Parvati and Lavender standing there.
"What are you guys doing here?" Hermione said, scrubbing her eyes roughly with her hands.
"Here to comfort you, silly!" Parvati said as she walked over and sat on Hermione's bed and put an arm around her. Lavender was content to rub her back and look sympathetic.
"What you said was true though. Pansy had no right to say that to you. But then again, she's just a mean cold-hearted slytherin sl-"
"That's enough Lavender. I think she gets the point," Parvati said, cutting Lavender off. Lavender just blushed and giggled.
"Well despite my little outburst there, are you alright?" questioned Lavender.
"Talking has made it a little better, although her words are still ringing in my ears. Even if Pansy was just being bitter, I'm still not pretty enough to go. No one would dance with me, and I'd just stand there looking awkward in a corner by myself!" Hermione said.
"Well, you may not be a model, but you're still beautiful. Besides, it's what's on the inside that counts!" giggled Parvati, touching the skin above her heart.
"So?" prompted Lavender.
"So what?" Hermione asked, confused.
"Are you going to go or not!" Lavender exclaimed.
"Thanks for the pep talk, but I need to sort out some personal issues first," Hermione stated quietly.
"Well I suppose. But take this little charm. It's a two way communicator. If you decide you want to come down and have fun with us, you can contact me, and we can come up and help you get ready!" Parvati handed Hermione what appeared to be a silver wristwatch.
"Just click this button here.." explained Lavender. Hermione did so and the watch on Parvati's watch buzzed and Hermione's face appeared on Parvati's watch.
"Interesting device you got here," mused Hermione.
"Yup yup. Don't be afraid to use it either! Ok well...we'll leave you to sort out your problems, me and Parvati here have to get ready!" said Lavender.
"If you do decide to come, remember to wear a mask!" Parvati said while Lavender towed her into the bathroom by the hand. Hermione just giggled, and put the watch on before laying back down.
'So what are you going to do Hermione old girl?' Hermione thought to herself.
