Chapter 13: Dreams
She could hear Draco, Ron, and Harry as if they were very far away.
"You git!!!" Ron said angrily. "Why'd you do that?"
"She had to know, Ron." Draco said.
"Yea, but why now?"
"When would you rather I tell her, Weasley?"
"Well...well..." Ron floundered.
"Both of you just shut the bloody hell up!!!! She's waking back up!" came Harry's angry voice.
She felt a have on her cheek.
"Stay awake, darling." She heard Draco murmur.
She smiled faintly, and let the darkness take her again.
She was in the living room, with her mum and dad. She was sitting in her mother's lap, while her mum told her a story.
Suddenly a house-elf ran in. "excuses me, sir and mam, but theres peopleses at the door. They just appearedes out of nowhere. Theyses wearing dark robes." The elf shivered. "I thinkses they're bad peoples."
Suddenly there was a huge explosion from the front door. She screamed, and her dad jumped up. "hide her Dila. Don't let them near you two." He said, giving them a quick hug. Then he left the room, his wand out, with the house-elf at his heels.
Her mum bundled her into her arms, and ran the other way, through a doorway and down a hallway. She turned left, and ran down another hallway. Her mum ran hard and fast, tears streaming down her face.
"Mum, what's wrong? What's going on?" Hermione reached up and touched her mums face.
They began going down a marrow spiral staircase, there was three loud explosions form the front of the house. Her mum ran faster. "Oh love, you know mummy and daddy love you, right, honey?" she said, ducking through a doorway.
"yes." Hermione said.
"They've come for you darling. Oh, Merlin, I hoped he would pick another girl, but he didn't. oh, darling, how I hoped it wouldn't be you. Your only four...he's older than I am!!!" they ran toward a silver door at the end of the hallway.
"We're almost there, darling, and then we'll be safe."
There was a sudden crack! And a cloaked and hooded person appeared in-between them and the door.
"Oh, Merlin!" her mother cried. "Baby, I want you to remember something. Don't ever tell them your real name okay, baby?"
Hermione nodded, looking up at her mum. There were several more cracks as hooded people arrived behind them. Her mum spun around, tears running harder down her face. "No!!! Please don't take her!!!!"
"Kill the women, save the child," Said one of the figures.
Hermione looked over her mum's shoulder. The person at the end of the hall raised his wand.
"MUM WATCH OUT!!!!" she screamed. There was a flash of green light. She stared at her mum's face, her mouth opened in a small O, her eyes blank.
"NNNNNOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!" Hermione screamed.
