Chapter 6: Trouble is lurking

A/N: This chapter, you'll all hate me!

Harry and Hermione were in the cafeteria when suddenly a girl with short black hair came up to Harry and Hermione.

"Hey Harry! You remember me. Right? I'm Cho Chang." She announced.

Harry chocked on his food.

"OH, hi Cho!" Hermione replied.

"Who was talking to you?" Cho asked her coldly.

Harry stared at Cho nastily.

"So Harry, you'll be coming to the parade, right? Oh please don't miss it!" Cho pleaded.

"I can't-"Harry was caught short by Hermione.

"Sure we'll come." Hermione said.

Cho stared at Hermione like she wanted to strangle her.

"I never said you to come, slut!" Cho said really nastily.

"Come on Hermione, let's go somewhere else." Harry said nicely, while actually, he wanted to slap Cho really hard.

"Hermione, Hermione and everything that matters to him is only HERMIONE! Oh, when he comes to the parade, he will realize I'm much better then that blind headed slut!" Cho said under her breath.

"Hey Cho, I heard that tomorrow's the parade." Draco said.

"Don't ever sneak up on me ever again, and don't listen to my conversations with other people. Bastard!" Cho said in a dangerous voice.

"You still hate Hermione. Hmmm…. Jealousy…. That's how I feel the way you feel about Hermione. That stupid Harry Potty. Maybe, I could do something to Hermione. That way, you, my precious darling would like me." Draco said.

"You silly bastard! And you actually think that I'm going to come to you with open arms. Silly, if you do something to Hermione, I'm sure, I'm going to be so happy, but Harry would surely kill me."

"Then let's make a deal, when I-" Draco was interfered by Cho.

"You know what; I don't want anything to do with you. So just do whatever you want. And don't ever talk to me or come 10ft close to me!" Cho yelled and went to the nearest classroom.

"Fine, I'll do what I want!" Draco smirked.

Next day

Hermione woke up happy and relaxed. She went to Harry's room and knocked.

"Harry! It's time to wake up, or we will be late for the parade!" Hermione said excitedly.

"Huh…. We're going to the parade?" Harry asked dreadfully.

"Yes Harry James Potter!" Hermione said sarcastically.

'Perfect… I hope we don't have to meet Cho…. She's really getting on my nerves.' Harry thought.

Harry and Hermione stopped on the brightly colored block. This was where the parade was going to start. People were lining up to get cotton candy, prizes and popcorn.

"You know Hermione; I'm going to try to get that bear." Harry said.

Harry went to the game machine and tried to get the white bear. After 10 minutes, he got what he wished for.

"Whazzam! This a white bear. For you, Hermione! And you better appreciate it." Harry said sarcastically.

"It feels so fuzzy! Oh Harry! I love it so much!" Hermione shrieked.

"Here, sit down. I'll get you popcorn." Harry said and went to the popcorn shop.

As Harry was getting the popcorn, he noticed Draco lurking around. 'As usual' Harry thought.

As Harry went back to the bench, Hermione wasn't there.

"Hermione! Hermione! Where are you?" Harry ran as fast as his leg could.

He ran for several seconds until he realized it was nearly dark. The only place where he hadn't checked was the dark, dark garage near the oak tree. He went there as fast as he could. Then, he heard a familiar scream. It was Hermione.

"Hermione!" Harry yelled as loudly as he could.

There, he saw Hermione, only she was held by Crabbe and Goyle. 'Draco!' Harry thought. Within few seconds, Harry fought Crabbe and Goyle. These guys were not good at fighting so it was easier for Harry to defeat. Then, a familiar white blonde head boy came from the shadow. It was Draco.

"Hello there, mate! So, I just had your girlfriend come over to visit me. Isn't that nice." Draco smirked.

Harry knocked Draco down and started to kick and punch him. Then Harry was hit by a brick.

"That would teach you a lesson!" Draco yelled then hit Harry with the brick many times.

"NO! Harry, where are you!" Hermione yelled while tears were dripping down her face.

Harry felt drowsy. He felt the coldness on his face touch. He realized it was his own blood. 'NO, I can't give up!' Harry thought. He grabbed Hermione and ran away to his/her house.

"Oh my god! Harry, my baby, are you alright!" Lily asked horrified.

"We'll have to take him to the hospital!" Lily informed Remus.

At the Hospital

Lily faced Hermione and her Aunt Emily.

"LEAVE! RIGHT NOW! I DON'T WANT YOU IN MY HOUSE! YOU HAVE CAUSED TOO MUCH TROUBLE! JUST LEAVE. PACK YOUR STUFF AND GO FAR AWAY!" Lily yelled.

"Please, give us a chance!" Aunt Emily and Hermione begged.

"NO! YOU'LL HAVE TO LEAVE. DON'T YOU SEE MY HARRY? HIS HURT!" Lily yelled more.

"Hermione sweety, I'm really sorry. But we'll have to leave without Harry knowing. I'm really sorry." Aunt Emily hugged Hermione.

"NO Aunt Emily. We can't leave. I promised Harry, we'll never separate! Please Aunt Emily!" Hermione said desperately.

Aunt Emily got out of the hospital and went back home. She packed Hermione's and her belonging. Then she grabbed Hermione and called the taxi.

"I'll need to see Harry, just one more time. I need to be with him! Please!" Hermione yelled.

Aunt Emily ignored her. Hermione felt that she was going far away from Harry. Really far away. It was a good bye.

"Good bye Harry." Hermione said as tears flowed down her tears.
