Chapter 17: Concerns
Hermione came out of the caldron and looked around. She was back in the
potions classroom. All around her, other people were appearing out of the
caldrons. Nina then appeared and then Draco. The three stared at each other
in silence. The bell rang and everyone walked out of the room, except for
Nina, Draco and Hermione.
"Um, well, I guess we had better go?" Nina suggested. The other two slowly
nodded.
On the way to the Great Hall, Draco grabbed Hermione and said "Um, we'll
catch up in a minute" Nina nodded and walked off, wondering what Draco had
seen.
"Um, I was just wondering what you saw" He asked
"Oh, just stuff, like when you were discussing with Crabbe and Goyle about
the Chamber and stuff like that, but I know what you want to talk about."
He looked up at her. "It's Nina?"
"Well..."
"What exactly did you see?" she was concerned
"Um,"
"It's OK if you tell me. I know all of her secrets, even if she doesn't
tell me." Draco was hesitant "Listen, if it was serious you have to tell
me. She's my best friend and I wont have you make assumptions or something"
"Well, she cuts. And has had many trials at the ministry and is awaiting a
punishment for an action she's done. And..."
"What?"
"You're a good friend Hermione. She's lucky to have you" he smiled at her.
"Thanks." There was an awkward silence as the two just stood there. "Um, I
think we should go"
"Yeah" we walked towards the Great Hall, but were stopped by Nina.
"Hey, um, Hermione I need to talk to you" she said. Before Hermione could
answer, Nina grabbed her arm and brought her into another hallway.
"First of all, you went out with Viktor Krum! Second of all" she grabber
Hermione in a hug. When she finally let go Hermione asked "What was that
for?"
"Just because" Nina replied as she smiled. She was turning to go back to
the Great Hall, but Hermione stopped her.
"Neen, we need to talk." Hermione said in a serious voice. "Draco knows"
"Knows what?"
"The cuts. And that you're waiting for your sentence, but that's all I know
that he saw even though I have a feeling he saw something else that I would
rather not mention, it had to do with me, though. Look out, he might tell
someone. He doesn't know the whole story, for anything" she was concerned
for her friend. The two then walked to the Great Hall.
"So what did you see?" Nina asked
"Not much" Hermione answered. They ended their walk in peace.
