Chapter 6

Falling

Hermione? Why was he calling her by that name? And who the hell was that?

But it didn't matter. As soon as his lips touched hers, her world started spinning. Thoughts came in and out of her head.

She was kissing an older man, maybe 10 or 15 years older than her.

It was wrong. Every inch of it was wrong.

She knew it. But never in her life have anything felt so right.

She closed her eyes and let the passion overwhelm her for a second before opening it again and gently withdrew from the kiss.

She shifted her weight on her left arm and used her right to touch his face. Then it happened, visions started to enter her mind.

She saw herself at the pitch in front of the Slytherin team with the rest of the Gryffindor team and Ron behind her.

"No one asked for your opinion, you filthy mudblood," the boy in front of her spat.

He had silver hair that seemed to glow in the sun.

Uproar started after he uttered those words. Ron pointed his wand at the boy and a loud bang issued from it.

Things started to fade.

"Have you ever seen anything quite as pathetic? And he's supposed to be our teacher." the boy said.

She saw herself slap the guy with all her strength. He staggered. The rest looked stunned at what she had just done. She raised her hand again.

"Don't you dare call Hagrid pathetic, you foul – you evil – "

"Hermione!" said Ron weakly, and he tried do grab her hand as she swung it back.

"Get off, Ron!"

Her head swam as these visions came; she cautiously sat beside the man.

"Are you ok?" she could her him say.

She was about to say something when she saw another one.

She was at the Hogwarts lawn just starring at the calm waters of the lake. When someone embraced her from behind.

"Where are they?" he asked. She rested her head on his broad shoulders.

"Who?"

"Potter and Weasley"

"Upstairs."

"Did you tell them yet?"

"What? That we're in love with each other? Or the fact that your father's goin' to kill me when he finds out?"

She looked at him.

"I won't let him. He'll have to go through me first before he could lay a finger on you." He said, hugging her tighter.

"I love you more than anything else in this world, and I'll kill anyone who dares to hurt you...even anyone who stands in the way of my love for you." He said fiercely through her hair.

Drops of tears slowly trickled down her checks as soon as she heard his words.

He cupped her face and whispered, "That's how much I love you, understand?" before kissing her gently.

Tears slid down Sydney's cheeks after she saw those visions.

"I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me." the man said, "I-I thought you were someone else."

"I-I have to go." said Sydney, hastily standing up and ran back down the grassy slope.

Althea crouched lower, hiding herself from Sydney as she rushed past her.

She looked back at her father, who was sitting in front of the tombstone, as his eyes watched her friend run down the slope.

She had followed his father out thinking that it was time for her to see the place where they laid her mother to rest.

She was about to come out of the bushes, when she saw Sydney walk up to her father's sleeping form. Kneel in front of him and kiss him.

Her father was having an affair with a younger woman and her best friend at that. Hatred began forming inside her heart.
Draco looked up and felt someone watching him behind the bushes. He whipped out his wand. Silently and quickly, he jumped towards it.
Althea's eyes widened as her father disappeared from her sight. She quickly scanned the surroundings; she couldn't see him. He had vanished.

Feeling a sense of dread. She looked up. He suddenly appeared above her; the red glow from his wand becoming bigger and bigger.

Red light began forming at his wand's end, ready to fire.
The person looked up.

When he realized whom he was about to attack, he quickly averted his wand and fired somewhere else. Dropping to the floor.

He stood up slowly and his eyes met with his 15 year old daughter.

"Althea, what were you thinking?" he whispered. "I could have killed you!"

The girl only looked at him, she was breathing quite heavily.

Something clicked inside his mind. Had she saw?

"How long had you been hiding there?" he asked.

"I hate you." She cried out, her hands were balled to fist at her side. Tears spilled out of her eyes.

"I hate you! I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!" She said over and over again running down.

Draco stood up and ran after his daughter. But later thought better of it. He watched her get on her bike and pedaled out of sight.

He better call Harry.
Sydney stared at the sky.

It was nighttime again; she was sitting out back at her hammock.

She sighed and replayed today's images in her mind.

Her life was falling apart.

Her father's dying, she had no more money.

Not to mention having just kissed an older man.

Plus she's becoming more and more confused, she was sometimes seeing things, things in the past. Sometimes she doesn't even know who she is anymore. Its like she's stuck between two persons.
Althea quietly sat on the couch. Her uncle Harry sat opposite her. She was holding a cup of tea. Her eyes were sore from endless tears.

Harry sighed; he pushed his glasses up.

"Thea...what happened? Your father was really worried." asked Harry.

"I hate him. Can I stay here? Please?" said Althea. Peering up at her uncle's face.

"Ok!!! Go up to your room. Your aunt Ginny will help you clean up."

"Where will you go?" she asked looking at his godfather, as he grabbed his coat.

"Meeting up with your father." ,he said. Then sighing, he turned and touched her hair, "I won't be long."

With that he Apparated.
"Good evening Mr. Harry Potter, sir." An elf greeted Harry as he "popped" inside the Malfoy Manor.

"Hello.", greeted Harry, distractedly. "Where's your master?"

"Up on the deck sir, would you like little Libby to take you there, sir?"

"No, that wouldn't be necessary.", said Harry, taking his cloak off, and swinging it over his shoulder. "just bring us a cup of coffee."

Turning his heel, he jogged up the large sweeping staircase and walked through the vast dark and silent hallway towards the deck.
