The Attack

I do not own Harry Potter as much as I wish I did.

Hermione finally came back down to Earth though she still had a giddy, floating sensation. She was going to marry Ronald Weasely! Of course Hermione Weasely sounded so silly and she decided she would keep her currant last name.

A scream rang through the peace of the lake. About a hundred Death Eaters swooped down and she looked up to find that they had been hiding on the roof.

"Ron!"

"Hermione, run! Don't look back, I'll hold them off!"

"But..."

"Just run!"

Overtaken by the fear that was steadily growing in her chest she stumbled into the Forbidden Forest. She ran like she never had before. She heard chanting somewhere and tried to follow it.

She came to a clearing and saw a figure in the middle with the hood of her cloak up and her back to Hermione.

"Hello?"

The figure did not answer but slowly turned around. Hermione could now tell that the figure was a woman.

She faced Hermione and removed her hood.

What was there astonished Hermione so much that she couldn't even scream.

THUMP!

Hermione landed on the dewy ground and did not open her eyes. Her head pounded and the world spun so fast that it made Hermione nauseous.

Finally she turned over and pulled her hair up waiting for herself to throw up. As she waited and as she threw up she never once opened despite her silent tears that slipped through her closed eyelids.

No question this time and no points from the last chapter yet.
