A Summer Not Easily Forgotten-Chapter 4: A Game of Hide and Seek
Hermione saw Selina leave and immediately took off after her.
"Find her and bring her back!" Scott shouted after her.
Selina had a decent head start and was taking Hermione on quite the tour of the house. Hermione was trying desperately to catch up, but was having difficulty with Selina's head start. Selina saw this, and knew she'd be safe doing what she planned to do, and ran into a closet, closing the door behind her when Hermione wasn't looking. She picked up a loose floorboard and jumped down into a room, which had been revealed below.
This room was one of the many hidden rooms of the house, built for times of danger, such as this. Selina moved the floorboard back into place as well as she could. However, it did not go back perfectly. Selina then hid behind some boxes in the room, just in case Hermione figured out where she had gone.
Hermione was still trying to find where Selina had disappeared off to.
"Hmm, you can't have used magic, it's against the law for students to do so out of school, which means you must be hiding somewhere." She muttered out-loud to herself. She stopped as she spoke, noticing the closet door that Selina had entered was still open a crack.
"Got you!" She shouted, grinning as she flung the door open. This was followed by a blank stare, as she found no one inside. She searched the closet from ceiling to floor, determined that Selina had gone inside.
Her eyes soon landed on the loose floorboard.
"Ah ha! There you are." She muttered as she lifted the floorboard and entered the room.
"Alright, I see no other way out of here. Where are you?" She asked out-loud as she glanced around the room, not really expecting an answer.
Selina looked up and saw Hermione, before ducking down again.
"No!" She gasped silently, nearly mouthing the word.
Hermione heard the gasp and spun around quickly.
"Alright you little brat, where are you?" She asked.
Selina ducked down a little lower behind the boxes, now growing rather fearful as Hermione started to look nearby. However, she remained as silent as possible, hoping for the best, and determined to remain hidden for as long as possible.
Meanwhile Scott was growing impatient.
"Care to tell me where the dear, sweet Selina would be?" He asked in a sarcastic yet warning tone.
"There are many places she could be, I don't know which she chose." Severus replied.
"I believe you do know." Scott said, the warning in his voice increasing as he pointed his wand at Severus again.
"And I believe you know that I'd never tell you even if I did know." Severus replied, showing no fear.
"Fine, have it your way then. But be prepared to watch her suffer and die the second Hermione brings her back." Scott said, an amused look on his face.
"That's if Miss Granger brings her back and if you honestly think you can get away with killing her." Severus said with his own amused smile.
Scott merely glared at him, his face filled with understanding.
Hermione was now about two steps away from Selina's hiding place and Selina barely dared to breathe. She tried to duck down even lower, but only managed to hit her head on the corner of a box, which fell over as Selina cried out in pain.
"Well, finding you turned out to be much easier than I thought it would be. For once you were smart and helped me, I'll give you credit for that." Hermione said as she walked the remaining two steps and pulled out her wand.
"What do you mean for once? I was always there to help you, all you had to do was ask." Selina replied, still sitting there.
"Yes, I'm sure you were." Hermione laughed.
"I was and you know it." Selina shouted.
"Whatever you say, Selina. Well, it's time for us to get back upstairs, enough games from you." Hermione said, pointing her wand at Selina. "Get up!"
Selina stood, causing Hermione to laugh again.
"You always were good at following orders."
Selina heard this and opened her mouth to reply, but got another idea and turned and ran towards the other end of the room instead.
Hermione immediately took off after her again.
"Then again, you were also very stupid as well." She said, then stopped running. "Oh forget this! Stupify!" She shouted.
The spell hit Selina, and she fell to the floor, stunned.
