Chapter Two
Letters, Powers and Apartments
After he fell asleep I went to our shared bedroom to pack my bags. I can't stay here. I will just be a burden to him. I don't want him to feel the same feeling that he felt when the world is resting on his shoulder. I wrote a letter for him after he left to the video store.
After 15 minutes of packing I left the paper with the ring he gave from our first anniversary on top of the coffee table in front of the couch where he is sleeping. I look at his sleeping form and I felt tears fall down from my face. I kissed his forehead gently he responds with a light moan. I took a deep breath and one last glance and leave him forever.
It's been one week since I left Harry. I found a small room with cheap rent beside the church not far enough from our apartment. My vision is getting darker each day I spent living. First, I visit my parents' grave because I know I will be together with them in heaven. It's hard to manage to do the house chores without falling flat on the floor. Once I even drop the picture frame and it broke, it takes an hour for me to pick up all of the pieces and even injured myself four times. One on the middle finger of the right hand, the thumb of the left hand, my palm on the right and my foot for stepping at one of the unpicked piece.
I was walking toward the kitchen when I bumped into another picture frame. I decide to do a cleaning spell but it didn't work. Nothing came out of my wand. I inspect it carefully there is no damage to it. But why? I gasped when an idea flash on my head. Once I never encounter the disease of cancer mention in one of the books in the library. It's impossible for me not to encounter that because Professor Snake ask us to find the disease that lead straight to death if not cured and its antidote. I guess it doesn't affect the purebloods witches and wizards because they have magical cells that balance the body cells in the system of the body. That's it! Cancer only occur on muggles who has no complete defense toward the sickness beside chemotherapy that is and possible on muggle-born witches or wizards.
The next day
"Great! I'm out of soap!" I exclaimed angrily.
"Okay relax……..I am going to get through this…..If I can…….leave Harry I can do this stupid chore but first find my way to the grocery store." I reassured myself.
Once I'm out of the room I took a deep breath.
"This is going to hurt…"
First I find my way out of the corridor with a bit of stumbling. Then the stupid elevator is broke and is being repaired this current time. SO I have no choice but to take the stairs or either way marking this day as my death on the calendar. Gee! I remember that I am on the 5th floor! I can't believe this!
Calm down Hermione! You can do this. You faced Voldemort. This is a piece of cake compared to that. Okay….Right…..Stairs it is. After a few minutes I finally found the stairs with one bruise on my left elbow. Okay it's just going to be me, the railings and the flights. Okay first step.
One….
Two….
Three…..
Four….
WHAM!
"Ouch! That hurts!" I whine there for a moment and grabbed the railings for support. Well look at the bright side I'm going to arrive in the shop earlier. But that's what I thought.
After 2 hours,
I was on the 2nd floor crying. I fell all the way from the 4th to the 3rd floor. I can't do this. This is harder than facing Voldemort. I bet I have lot of bruises on my butt now. No I won't give up. I want that soap and I'm going to get it.
After 30 minutes,
I finally reached the 1st floor. I sighed. That wasn't so bad. I don't want myself to be humiliated on public so I have to take a cab when the store is just one block away from my apartment.
"Good Afternoon Ma'am! Where is our destination?"
I smiled toward the blurry vision of the driver. "Do you know the Morning Glory Shop?"
I think he smiled so I smiled also. "Yes ma'am!"
After 20 minutes,
"Wake up Miss! We are here." Said the driver cheerfully
I probably fell asleep because of the traffic I smiled and got the money from my pocket and gave it to him and I step up from the cab. I turned around and was shock to see my surroundings. He drove me to the BLOODY BEACH!
I look at a diner and its sign I can't see it but I'd bet anything it's a diner with the same name as the Morning Glory Shop. I shook my head and sigh. No one's on the beach this time it's autumn. Well this is the last time I will have the chance to see the beach so might as well enjoy it. I decide to wait for the sunset. There is a little time to kill for that so I might as well spend my time internalizing.
There was some sort of bridge like structure for the people to go down with bars and chains on each side. They use it instead of flights. I grabbed on the chains but kept sliding down. Once I reached the bottom I smiled at my success. The sun is just blurry to me. I went in closer but stumbled all my way until I was lying on my front side and looking at the sun. Suddenly the darkness engulfs the sun until there was nothing but black. I gasped and sit up quickly.
"Where are you! Where are you! Where….are ……you!" I was shouting and crying at the same time
"Harry! HARRY! I'm scared! I can't see anything!" I continued shouting.
Then, somebody grabbed my hand and hugged me I gasped.
"Who are you? Let me go…..!" I exclaimed and then I feel the person let me go and touched my face.
I touched the person's forehead, then the cheeks which is wet with tears, then the nose and finally the lips….
"Harry…….?" I whispered.
