Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot…sadly
Thanks so much for the reviews, I'm glad you like it! For nevermind x, I have now enabled anonymous reviews (and I also hate it when authors do that!) Anyways this is the second installment of my story. Heeeeeeeeeeeeere we go…
.:CHAPTER TWO:.
Hermione Granger groaned. She was swamped with paperwork, her superiors were bossing her around, she had received hundreds of tips about Death Eaters, had a migraine headache, and to top it all off, it wasn't even twelve o'clock.
Hermione had graduated with top honours from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and was now ranked among the top Aurors of her time. She was recently appointed the task of tracking and capturing known Death Eaters. Even though their "Lord" had fallen three years ago, she knew that his servants were still lurking about somewhere. She thought about one in particular and wondered where he was now…she thought back to the night that he was driven away…
.:FLASHBACK:.
"Come on Hermione, let's go and visit Harry before dinner, I want to see how he's holding out after that gigantic prick beat the crap out of him today," Ron Weasley said with malice. "I swear if I see him…" he continued while cracking his knuckles. "Please Ron don't do anything rash. As much as I would love to see Malfoy expelled for his actions and chucked in Azkaban for his being a Death Eater, I do not want you chucked out of Hogwarts! If you're kicked out before our NEWTS, how do you expect to get anywhere in life?" she shrieked. "Woah, calm down Hermione, I promise I won't do anything right now!" Ron said calmly. "You'd better not or I'll have your head!" she said prodding his chest with her finger. Ron rolled his eyes and muttered something about "lunacy", and they went to visit Harry.
"We'll that was a nice visit. Madam Pomfrey said that he'll be out within the next couple of days." Hermione said brightly. "Yeah but still, he didn't look that good. What was it that bloke did to him? Broken ribs, two black eyes, thousands of bruises…" Ron counted them off on his fingers. " I know Ron, but he'll get his comeuppance, you mark my words." Hermione said grimly. "Come on, let's go to supper" Hermione grabbed Ron's arm and dragged him towards the Great Hall.
They marched over towards the Gryffindor table and took seats next to Ginny, who was in tears, and Neville, who looked rather discouraged. Ginny immediately turned towards the pair and burst in to fresh sobs. "How could they have let this happen? How could the teachers not have seen that he was working for Voldemort—oh be quiet Neville! They should have been watching him! They should have known he was a Death Eater! I-if an-anything h-happens to H-Harry, I swear that I will kill him!" Ginny's eyes filled with pure hatred and she buried her face in her hands, still shaking with sobs. "Oh sweetie it's okay! Don't worry, we were just up for a visit with Harry and we've been told that he'll be out within a couple of days," Hermione said soothingly while giving her a hug. Ginny brightened a little. "Really? Oh that's wonderful! But I swear that I will get that son of a bitch back for what he did to Harry!" she snarled. "When I see him again I—" but she was cut short. At that very moment the person who had started the entire thing entered the Great Hall.
Hermione saw him glide over towards the Slytherin table. She, along with the rest of the school (excluding Slytherins of course) glared daggers at Malfoy. The tension in the Hall was incredibly thick. The tension and silence were broken when Ginny stood up, marched over to Draco and—
.:END FLASHBACK:.
Hermione was brought back to reality with three loud raps on the door. "Come on Hermione! Open the bloody door!" called a familiar voice. She smiled weakly and walked over towards the door. She opened the door and there stood Ronald Weasley. "Merlin Hermione! I must have been knocking on that door for a good solid ten minutes!" cried Ron. "Oh I'm sorry Ron! It's just that my mind's been elsewhere…" Hermione said. "Don't worry about it! Anyways, I was wondering if you wanted to get lunch with me?" Ron asked Hermione casually. "Yeah I'd love to, I have about forty-five minutes so we should go." grinned Hermione. "Alright then let's go. Say, what did you have your mind on?" said Ron curiously. Hermione averted his gaze. "Oh you know…stuff.."
Anyways, did you enjoy? I'll try to update when I can because I've got summer school…I swear my math teacher hated me..hehe..
Ciao!
