A Cry For Help- Chapter Six
..."That is one way you could put it...."
"So... What else do they do," Harry said.
"Here," Hermione said while handing him her diary.
There were three entries that Harry read. One of them said:
"... He did it to me again. As far as I know I didn't do anything wrong. He did it for his pleasure and my pain. My mother just watched again-he...he...he...hiccup...he...he...he...-My eyes were closed so I didn't see anything. Though, I heard her evil high-pitched laugh. Tears started to well up into my eyes... I just wanted him to stop, but he wouldn't. What did I do to deserve this? Deserve them as parents? Them..."
After Harry read the diary entries he realized neither of them were liked at their home. Or they didn't like what they had to call home.
"How... how long has this been happening?" Harry asked as a tear tried to escape his eye.
"Let's just say that I have ten more diaries like this. Or you could say ever since I found out I was a wizard. Luckily, they let me got stay at the Burrow, and that's how I got away from them," Hermione said as tears started to well up in her eyes.
"Looks like we have something in common," Harry said with a little laugh, while wiping Hermione's tear with his thumb.
"Ha...ha very funny!" Hermione exclaimed, playfully hitting Harry.
"Why'd you hit me? You really hurt me, Hermione!" sarcastically whined Harry.
Hermione just gave him a stern look.
'Some things will just never change,' thought Hermione.
The eerie silence came back. They just looked at eachother. Harry felt weird about Hermione just staring at him, and he just returned that favor. Hermione also felt weird. She knew Harry was watching her, but she felt this other presence. Whether it was wanted? Or unwanted? Hermione had no clue. Then Harry said something that made her think...
"Hermione? Weren't we supposed to have a meeting here? 'Cos we're almost at school?" questioned Harry, again breaking the silence.
"We were, weren't we... yeah. I totally forgot about it. We were having a really good time and it just slipped my mind," Hermione said.
"Yeah... I forgot too. What if someone set us up? Ya know just to like watch us," Harry wondered.
"I was thinking the same exact thing before. I felt like someone else was present in the room. I didn't know whether or not it was good or bad, but I felt something," Hermione told Harry.
"Hmm... I bet you anything it's Dumbledore," Harry said.
"It can't be Dumbledore can it? Maybe... how can it be Dumbledore?" Hermione asked.
"Well, in first year I had to go into the restricted section, remember? I came upon this room, and in the room I saw the Mirror of Erised. I'm sure you've read about it, so you know what it does. I saw myself with my mum and dad. I kept going back and the last time I went there, Dumbledore comes out of nowhere. And he said and I quote, 'I don't need a cloak to become invisible.'" Harry said in a matter-of-factly way.
"Hmm.. that is very interesting. And yes I did read about the Mirror of Erised. I wonder how he becomes invisible if he doesn't need a cloak... well, I don't know, but you could be right," Hermione wondered.
Well, who or what was that strange presence Harry and Hermione felt? Find out in chapter seven!(maybe)
