Summary: Mia Shooters has always dreamt of the day she would go-to Hogwarts. One problem, she's deaf. Can she find friends or maybe even love?
Okay this chapter will be sad. BUT it will explain SOME earlier events. Other events will be touched in later chapters. (Cough, cough) reviews will help.... Haha. Well on to chapter 7!!
As the end of school neared something seemed to be happening to Hermione. Mia noticed that she became quieter and didn't smile as much. When Mia asked Ron and Harry about it they refused to tell her anything, as they knew what was bothering Hermione, but they felt that it was Hermione's duty to tell Mia not theirs. Mia began to think that it was nerves from finals that were coming up. Mia knew how much Hermione worked in classes and that finals would cause some stress on anyone, even herself.
Then one day Hermione just wasn't there. Mia became confused and lost. Hermione would have just deserted her would she have? No, that was not how Hermione worked. Mia wanted to ask (through Yuki) the other two boys if they had seen Hermione, but neither of them were looking up from their plates. She turned to Yuki and signed, "Do you know what is going on here? I am so confused." Yuki just shook his head and turned to his brother to ask him. "Harry where is Hermione?" Harry just shook his head stood up and walked away from the table, Ron hot on his tail. Yuki turned to sign to Mia when Professor McGonagall tapped him on the shoulder and asked him a question. He stared at her for a moment and then nodded his head. He then turned to Mia, "Professor McGonagall has asked me to interpret for the next few days as Hermione is unable to." "But why can't she?" Mia felt left out. They all knew why except for her. Yuki just shook his head again showing Mia wordlessly that he had no idea. "I am not sure Mia, but it is troubling Harry and Ron. They know but won't tell us. I wonder why?" Mia to shook her head and the two of them; both worried, Yuki holding her close, walked to class.
During classes: (or Hermione's story) (Author- Mia and Yuki are in class and miss this whole thing!)
Hermione lay there staring into the ceiling. She knew that Ron had gone off to classes because she had asked him to take notes and return them to her. He would do anything for her in her time of need. Hermione felt Harry snuggle up next to her and put her face into his chest and began to sob. He just hugged her more tightly wishing with all his heart that he could take all her pain and memories and hold them for her. He knew that this year had been the hardest for her. He also knew that there was nothing he could do but love her. Hermione drifted off to sleep, Harry still holding her, the front of his robes soaked.
He grabbed her hand. She jerked away and ran into the room were her mother lay, dyeing on the bed. She flung herself on her mother's chest and sobbed. Her mother stroked her hair and cried along with her daughter. When she looked up her mother began to sign. "I love you my baby, you will always be so special to me," The woman paused to cough, "I want you to do your best and one day you will find love just like I did once." She continued to cry. She was at that age where she no longer felt like a baby, but the words comforted her greatly. Just then the man returned and grabbed her by the middle, dragging her away from her mother. "NOO!!" She screamed and kicked, even bite the man but he held her strong. "I love you baby, I will always love you." "I love you mommy, please don't leave me" she signed fast and panicked. But the men drug her out of the room and shut the door behind him.
The next morning she woke early and ran to her mother's room only to find the bed empty. She turned to the man. "Were is she?" she screamed at him "Were is my mother?" he shook his head sadly and went to pick her up. She ran from him into the corner and hid. "Were is she?" once again he shook his head "She is dead Hermione, she didn't make it through the night." Hermione hated him. It was his fault she hadn't said good-bye to her own mother. "I hate you Michael. You never loved her; you didn't even bother to learn sign. YOU USED ME AND I HATE YOU!" She ran from her hiding spot and began to punch every part of him. She was surprisingly strong for a 7 year old but she wasn't strong enough for him. Michael grabbed her fist and pushed her down. "I loved her. We had only been married for 3 months 2 of witch she was ill. Hermione she was teaching me sign but then she got ill and I just couldn't keep learning because I needed to pay the bills and get food for you. DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND I LOVED HER!! SHE WAS MY EVERYTHING!" Hermione saw that he was sobbing uncontrollably. His crying scared the young child. She ran into her room and threw herself on the bed, sobbing for her mother.
Harry saw the hurt and just stroked her hair. She had told him of their last moment in their first year and he knew the whole story. "I love you Hermione, you know that right?" Her head still in his chest nodded. "And I love you Harry. But I just miss her so much. She was my best friend." He knew that Hermione and her mother had a strong bond and that Hermione had been the interrupter for her mother. He just kissed the top of her head "I know Hermione, I know." his own tears trickled un-noticed into her hair.
It is really late and I need to get to sleep. HA what's sleep?? I love you all bunches. Keep the reviews coming!! I really hope that this chapter wasn't too sad. It explains the comment in the beginning about her re-living her past. Really I hate to do that to Hermionecause every sad story has to do with a tragedy on her part, but it's to late in the story to change the plot plus she wont hurt too much you will see. The healing power of love!! I hope that you liked this chapter. It was a difficult one to type cause I am so happy that it is hard to write sad. But............... I felt a lot of power coming from Hermione's character and it blows even me away!! Thanks again for the reviews. I am so tired I am rambling on again. Good night!!
