Everlasting Memories
Chapter 7
Here Comes the Pain Part I
It was the end of the day and everybody was at dinner, except for a couple of people but she figured that they were late cause usually she is. Hermione reached over and filled her plate with fried chicken, mash potatoes and green beans and her drink as usual is Pumpkin Juice. She looked over at Ron and he was stuffing his face with food...as usual, his plate was piled with food and she felt like she was going to be sick because once in a while she saw him drooling without him noticing. She looked to the left and saw that Ginny once in a while nibbled at her food, but when she looked closer she saw bags under her eyes. "Ginny," Hermione began, "are you alright you look tired???"
Ginny turned to Hermione and she saw that Ginny's eyes lost their spark of happiness, she wondered what happened. "Ginny are you sure yo-"
"I'm fine!!!," she snapped. "Oh I'm so sorry Mione...I-I haven't been myself lately."
"Do you want to talk about it???"
Ginny shook her head. "I think you should read it yourself." Then she handed the parchment to Hermione and she immediantly knew that it was from Ginny's Mother.
Dearest Ginny, Fred, George and Ron,
I am writing this letter to you because
I have some bad news for you two. This
morning when your Father left for work
this morning, he wasn't happy about
something but he wouldn't tell me what
what it was. Anyways Miss Roberts came
here all bruised and battered and weak, my
guess somebody did a good number of
Forbidden Curses on her. She told me that
there was an attack at work today, because
everybody was suppose to have the day off
but they were called in for a meeting today.
She told me it was nothing but a trap and that
she was one of the few people that escaped. But
your Father has not arrived yet, but I am not
telling you this to get you worried or upset I
am telling you because all my children should
know. I'm sorry to say, but you will be staying
at Hogwarts for awhile and I don't mean over
the holidays. I mean probably over the summer
to because this war has gone to far and countless
Muggles has died already. Please take care all of
you including Harry and Hermione, don't do any
thing foolish this time. You are to remain in
Hogwarts where you are sure to be safe and if
anything ever happens to me or your Father.....
please be safe.
Love Always,
Mum
Hermione finished reading the letter with shaking hands and felt like she was going to be sick, but she couldn't or everybody would know something was wrong. But when she looked around at the rest of the Common Room Tables some were near tears, already crying, or not eating at all. She felt sad for them because she knew how they all felt to lose someone apart of her family. She turned back to Ginny and she was on the verge of tears, Hermione pulled her into a hug and Ginny cried so hard on her shoulder that she got attention from a few Gryffindors. Ron looked at her sister that at Hermione with a confused expression. "What's wrong with her???"
"She should be the one to tell you not me, Ron. Its best to keep your sister and brothers company because you are going to need it, your family has to stick together right now."
"Mione-"
But Hermione she shook her head and let Ron take Ginny as she cried, she got up and left because Fred and George were now seeing what was going on with their little sister. She walked into the hallway unaware that she was being followed she had a feeling though, but shook it off. She just walked around no where to go, she knew that Ron and what's left of his family in school needed so time to be alone...together. She was about to turn the corner but someone grabbed her roughly by the arms and made her turn around, and she came eye to eye with grey ones. Malfoy.
"Malfoy!!!" she screamed but he covered her mouth with his hand and shove her into an empty classroom.
"You called???" he said smirking.
"You shoved me in here, I didn't come here willingly!!!!"
"She's right," said a cold voice in the shadows, "she didn't come here willingly."
He stepped out of the shadows and revealed himself, although his grey eyes did give him away and he had long white hair. It was none other than Malfoy's Father, Lucius Malfoy. "Well done Draco, you have lured her here so that we can finish her. Good job." but Draco was shocked to see him there, it was as if he never knew his Father would be there.
"Father what are you doing here???"
"Don't speak to me with that tone boy!!!!," he said raising his hand and bringing it down on Draco. When he saw blood trickle down his face, Lucius was proud of what he did and turned back to Hermione who sat there huddled on the ground terrified. "Now what to do with you??? he said placing the tip of his wand to lips as if thinking about it.
Then he smirked evilly, Hermione digged into her pockets to find her wand but then realized that she did not have her wand. "Now, now we wouldn't want you to be a troublemaker now would we," he then raised his wand and shouted, "Crucio!!!!"
She screamed in pain as every in of her body was being torn apart by an invisible force, she kept on screaming in pain until she felt it stop. She was lying on the floor sweating and her skin felt like she was on fire and her vision was blurry she couldn't see right. All she saw were colors swirling together, but then she heard shouting but didn't know who was yelling at who. She then heard things smashing, then she went into the world of darkness...........
