**** Sorry about the evil cliffy! I just wanted to make sure people were reading. Here's more.
=========================================================================
Tears ran down her cheeks. The people could very well be her parents.
She ran out of the Great hall and went to her dorm. There, she found her family owl, Zeus.
There was a letter, it read:
Dear Hermione,
There has been a killing near our home. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson next door are gone. Sorry, honey, you had to find out this way. We're alright here though.
Take care of yourself, we love you.
Mom and Dad
Hermione felt a sudden surge of relief. She went down and had her normal lessons. She was sad about her next door neighbors and wondered why the dark mark was there.
That night, she had another dream.
She was at the same house. And the same man was there.
'You see, dear? Now if you don't break up with the boy, you're parents and your beloved Harry will be next!' said Wormtail.
Hermione woke up, sweating. She had to believe it. She didn't want to but her parents might die if she doesn't. She just had to break up with Harry.
The next morning, she saw Harry playing chess with Ron. The thought break up with him crossed her mind many times but she still couldn't bring herself to do so. Was her dream really worth believing?
Hermione decided not to believe it. After all, it's Wormtail.
She had a much better day after that. She went up to Harry and gave him a really tight hug.
'What's this all about Herm?' he asked innocently.
She didn't answer. Harry smiled and held her tight.
Then she let go of him and started acting normal again.
She had her lesson with Hagrid and the Bynka Mystics. They were all mature now and the girls were starting to miss the "cute" stage.
Lavender, who was having some arguments with Ron, was a bit quiet now. Hermione went out her.
'What's wrong, Lavender?'
'Ron and I might break up.' she said, sadly.
'Why?' she asked.
'We're having this stupid argument about me kissing a guy. I never did and he says I have. He also told me if he finally proves that I have, we'll really break up.' she said.
'Then tell him the truth.'
'I have, but he's not listening.'
'Why will you break up? You can always talk it over.' said Hermione comfortingly.
'But Ron said that kissing another guy is one of the most unforgivable things you can ever do to a boyfriend.' she said.
Hermione really felt sorry for her. That night, she couldn't sleep. She wondered what will happen if ever she and Harry break up.
She tossed and turned until she decided to finally confront him.
As everyone in her dorm was asleep because it's 4:30 in the morning, she knew the guys were as well.
She crept out her dorm and went inside the boys'. She felt different and sorry for the guys. It was a tad untidy but she thought to herself, 'Boys will be boys" as she giggled a bit.
When she finally found Harry's room, she tiptoed near him.but there was something near his bed. It was a rat.missing a finger!
Before she could scream, Wormtail transformed back to a human and put the silent curse on her. She couldn't talk now; she had left her wand in her dorm!
Wormtail had his weak smile that no one can be afraid of.
He put another curse on the boys. It was a quiet spell where the person won't be able to hear anything. Then he turned to Hermione and gave her a binding curse.
'Ahhhh. Silence is indeed a virtue.' said the human-turned rat. 'Still not believing me, eh? Well little girl, I have no choice but to do what I said I'd do.' he said, taking out something from his robes. It was a knife.
Hermione struggled to break free but to no avail.
'I know what you're thinking, Mudblood. A knife? That's pathetic. You're a wizard but you choose to use a knife? Well you see..' he began. Hermione still trying to free herself. 'It's not that I'm... or my master's pathetic. When people wake up tomorrow to find a dead Harry Potter, they're gonna start wondering." What killed the great Harry Potter, the boy who lived?".they will think it's some sort of powerful killing curse or he sacrificed himself. But he was defeated by a mere knife.Think of the embarrassment.' he said. He started laughing.
Wormtail was always the coward but seeing no one can stop him, he's quite the annoying conceited enemy.
He began to come close to Harry, holding the knife. Hermione shook her head, crying, but no sound came out nor could she escape.
Wormtail looked at her. 'Oh, do you want to say something?' he asked, smiling. He began to cut Harry's arm, just a small slash.
Hermione tried to move aggressively, tears falling from her eyes.
Wormtail rolled his eyes. 'I guess I can hear you out before killing him.' he said as he took the curse of silence from her.
She was shaking uncontrollably and breathing hard. 'Please.'she started. 'Please don't kill him.' she said finally, regaining her voice. 'I will do anything you want me to, please, just don't kill him.'
Wormtail smiled. 'Oh really? I don't believe you. Say goodbye to Harry, mudblood!' he said, smiling and aiming the knife at Harry's neck.
'No!!! Please! I'll break up with him just like you said! I'll do anything, please!!!' she screamed.
Wormtail stopped. He turned, 'You said that. You have to keep your stupid word, mudblood, because you know what will happen. After him, its goodbye mummy and daddy.' said Wormtail.
He was becoming a rat again. He managed to say another sentence. 'If you tell anyone what you've done, I swear, I WILL kill them!'
Hermione sat there in silence, the binding spell fading away. She couldn't stop weeping but she made sure no one heard her.
When she finally found strength to stand up, she walked over to Harry, who was sleeping peacefully.
She wiped her tears away. She came closer and kissed him on HIS forehead. She gave him a weak hug, probably both her last, said a whispered "I will always love you" and ran quietly out the dorm.
Once in the common room, she burst into tears. Nothing stopped her from crying. She was going to do something she didn't want to and she had no control over it.
She was breaking up with Harry Potter...
In the morning, Hermione found herself in her bed; she probably managed to get there after crying, or while crying. The events of what happened very early in the morning were still clear to her. She convinced herself that this was for the best and of course it was.
She got dressed very slowly. She didn't want to go down the Great hall and see Harry; otherwise she'd have to do it sooner.
She went to the common room, everyone was at breakfast. She slowly went out and headed to the Great hall. Her eyes were quite puffy still so she fixed it with a spell.
She entered the Great Hall looking down. Only when Dumbledore spoke before breakfast, which was weird, did she look up.
'As you can all see, our old friends from Beauxbatons have come to stay with us. They will stay at the guest tower and will be studying here for the remainder of the school year. As some of you may know, the left part of their school has collapsed due to an unknown cause.'
Hermione looked around and understood why Fleur taught them French. The pupils of Beauxbatons were sitting in the tables of Slytherin, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and even.Gryffindor.
Hermione then ate her breakfast quietly, not even listening to Dumbledore's speech anymore. Then, someone sat next to her.
'Hi Hermione, remember me?' asked a tall, tanned boy.
She looked at him. 'Chris? '
'Yep. How're you doing beautiful?' he asked, obviously flirting.
'Uh... fine. So you're sitting here in our table?' she asked. She wasn't in the mood but Hermione was always polite.
'Uh, Yeah. Great table.'
Then, as Hermione looked away from Chris, she saw Harry right in front of her, with a confused look.
'Hermione's talking to that flirt of a guy. And she hasn't even seen me yet.' thought Harry.
He also wondered about his cut arm. Good thing Madam Pomfrey fixed it. She didn't know the cause though. But now he had something else to think about. Why was Hermione acting so strangely?
He approached her after breakfast.
'Herm, are you okay? Are you mad at me or something?'
Hermione just stood there silently. She wanted to cry but she couldn't let anyone know what was happening.
'Uh, no.' she said finally. She was going to do it now, while they're alone. 'Uh, Harry, I don't think we're wor...' she began but was cut off by Ron.
'Harry! She didn't' kiss anyone! She loves only me! Lavender loves me! I'm so glad!' he exclaimed.
'I'm happy for you, Ron.' he said, smiling at him. He turned to Hermione again. 'What were you saying Herm?'
'No time for that, Harry. The team's gathering for the announcement of the captain. And we have no lessons today, Professor McGonagall said.' quickly said Ron, before Hermione could continue.
Harry kissed Hermione on the lips and was pulled away by Ron. He waved and ran with him. She just stood there, not knowing what to do.
She walked to the Gryffindor tower slowly, thinking of ways to break up with Harry.
This was the single most depressing day of her life.
Then as she passed the painting of the Fat Lady, she saw Lavender.
All of a sudden, it painfully dawned on her. She could make Harry see her kiss someone else! It sure hurt her when he kissed Chowan Lavender did say boys think it's absolutely unforgivable.
But he'll hate you. She thought. That'll be easier. Then you wouldn't have to live knowing he still loved you.
She had a small debate going inside her head. When she finished, she had decided she'll just leave it all up to fate.
Strangely enough, she found herself in the library when she finished her debate. She figured she'll just do some reading while she was there.
