Ok, so thanks you guys who reviewed…yeah, so here is the next chapter…called:
Blind Beyond Your Dreams
All Because a Broken Promise
Draco clutched his stomach and hurled his lunch all over the floor. He had a black eye, a busted lip, his jaw was swelling, and he had bruises up and down his body. "God boy, you could have taken them, what happened?" Snape asked as he levitated Draco to the hospital wing and set him on the bed next to Hermione. But Draco was out cold and wasn't planning on waking up any time today.
NOW:
Hermione woke late in the day the next day. She yawned and could hear Madam Pomfrey working on the person next to her. "Fuck…that hurts!" She heard a familiar voice say. "Mr. Malfoy, watch your language." Madam Pomfrey said. Sat up in bed and turned her head towards Malfoys bed. "Ms. Granger, please lye down!" Madam Pomfrey said looking at Hermione. Hermione frowned when she heard Malfoy curse again. "It was Harry and Ron, wasn't it?" Hermione asked already knowing the answer. "Like Bloody Hell it was!" Malfoy raise his voice, Hermione winced. "I'm sorry." She said lying down and facing away from them.
"I'm not mad at you Granger. I had it coming; I never should have hit you." Malfoy said. "But you did." She whispered and only he heard her. Malfoy frowned smacking Madam Pomfrey's hand away from his bandages and standing up. He was weak but he walked to the side of the bed she was facing. "I went and saw my mother." He softly stated. Hermione smiled but frowned again. "I am not saying that I approve of what Harry and Ron did, but I am not sorry they did it. You tormented us for 6 years; I cannot forgive you like that, especially since you hit me." Hermione said wishing she didn't. Malfoy was outraged. "You will NEVER let me live that down will you. WHAT do I have to do so you will stop bringing it up. My father was right. You will ALWAYS be a FILTHY little MUDBLOOD!" Hermione winced as he yelled. Malfoy stormed outraged out of the hospital wing.
A single tear slid from Hermione's eye but she shook it off. She was burning with anger at Harry and Ron and empathy for Malfoy. Hermione got out of the hospital bed and wobbled for a second. "Ms. Granger, back in bed. You are not in full health yet." Madam Pomfrey yelled as Hermione walked out of the hospital wing, Ella hot on her trail. It was dinner time and she knew just where to find her two best friends. But then she had a better idea, one that would make them pay for breaking their promise. Harry had promised not to touch Malfoy when Ron had brought her to the hospital wing. She cam conscious for moments and then unconscious again. She ran to the owlery and sent the red envelope addressed to Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley. Then she ran to dinner sitting with Ginny and not even looking at Harry or Ron except for when the howler had arrived.
Harry held it in his hands and looked wide eyed at Ron, and just as they opened it Hermione ran from the hall and out onto the grounds. She took off with Oreo and Ella moments later. (Inside the Great Hall) Harry opened the howler and it began it lecture. "HARRY JAMES POTTER, HOW DARE YOU BREAK YOUR PROMISE? I TRUSTED YOU AND YOU WENT BEHIND MY BACK AND DID WHAT I TOLD YOU NOT TO DO. AND YOU RONALD WEASLEY, STOP LAUGHING BECAUSE I KNOW YOU WERE IN ON THIS TOO," Ron who had been cracking up froze when he heard his name.
"DON'T BOTHER RUNNING AFTER ME BECAUSE YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO FIND ME. I AM EXTREMELY MAD AT THE BOTH OF YOU AND YOU BETTER PRAY TO GOD THAT WHEN I GET BACK I WILL FORGIVE YOU. I HAVENT DECIDED IF I WILL OR WONT YET. I HOPE THE WHOLE SCHOOL HEARS HOW MAD I AM AT YOU BECAUSE YOU TWO DESERVE IT. I HERMIONE ANNE GRANGER AM EXTREMELY MAD AT MY TWO BEST FRIENDS HARRY POTTER AND RONALD WEASLEY AND EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW IT. I HOPE YOU TWO ARE HAPPY." The howler hissed at them both and then burst into flames. Harry and Ron were petrified. The entire school, including most of the staff, burst into laughter.
As night crawled slowly by Hermione picked her up from the bed of flowers she laid in with Ella in her lap and Oreo munch on the weeds. "What am I going to do with them?" Hermione asked Oreo who breathed out heavily. "I wonder what time it is." Hermione said taking out her wand and pointing it at her wand. "Picturess." She said and saw the watch in her head. It was 10:45 at night and Hermione was almost about to miss her 2nd rounds if she didn't hurry. She didn't really care because she didn't even do her first rounds.
Hermione picked up Ella and sat her in the saddle and then jumped on herself. The three walked through the forest for a while, Hermione talking to Oreo. "I know I will have to forgive Harry and Ron because they will plead me to, and I love them way to much. But they won't have my trust back. They broke their promise and that's the way it is right?" Oreo jerked her head a little and Hermione laughed. "I do hope I get my sight back soon. I want to be able to see you girls. It is hard as heck to imagine things because they always end up as cartoon pictures in my head." Hermione laughed to herself. "I say we avoid the Malfoys for a while what do you say Ella?" Hermione asked. Ella barked in response. "He seemed pretty mad didn't he? I mean of coarse he was mad. Even Malfoy would never hit a girl unless he was extremely mad at her." Hermione said petting Oreo's shoulder which was covered with wings.
It took them a while to walk through the forest to a little clearing which was where they would take off. But this time Oreo wouldn't take off. She froze, she wouldn't budge. Hermione heard Ella growl and was very confused. "Who's there?" Hermione called out but no one answered. "What is wrong Oreo, come on, take flight." Hermione said patting Oreo's mane. Ella's growl grew louder and with more rage. Oreo had begun to back up apparently afraid of something in front of her. "Oreo, what are you doing you silly girl. Forward, towards Hogwarts." But Oreo refused. She turned on her back legs and ran quickly through the forest as if something were chasing them. Then Hermione heard it. It was the sound of more galloping feet on the trail behind them, following them.
Hermione began to worry but trusted her companions. The path grew wider and Oreo sped up. The hooves were closer now, almost as if they were right beside her. Oreo was running so fast now that you couldn't hear her feet even touch the ground. Hermione reached for her wand in her pocket. Retrieving it she turned to where the galloping could be heard. She hoped the Oreo and the other horse were traveling the same speed of the picture might be blurry. Hermione pointed where she wanted to look and murmured 'Picturess.' A picture came into Hermione's head and she became very frightened, very fast. There in her mind were 7 riders in black cloaks catching up to her. "I know you can do it Oreo, save all our hides." But Hermione was too late. They had reached the flower field and the 7 riders closed in around her from what she could hear. Oreo turned in circles looking for a way out.
"What do you want from me?" Hermione asked as Oreo kept circling. Ella was now full of rage and growling loudly at the riders. Hermione knew the riders were getting frustrated. "Ella, tut tut." Hermione said and Ella whimpered and lay down in the saddle. Hermione could also tell that they had been riding a while because their horses were getting restless. "It is not what we want Mudblood, it is what we must do to make Potter mourn." She knew the voice. It was just like Malfoys but much creepier. "Mr. Malfoy. We meet again." Hermione said knowing that she was edging them on. Lucius growled and the next rider spoke. "How dare you speak to him, Filthy Mudblood?" She knew this voice also, but couldn't put a name with it. Hermione looked at the ground and tried not to speak again. She could hear them mutter amongst themselves, but only 6 of them talked. They were Mr. Malfoy, Mr. Zabini, Mr. Rookwood, Mr. Goyle, Mr. Crabbe, and Mr. Dolohov.
Hermione remembered Mr. Dolohov. He almost killed her in their fifth year at the Ministry. Se wondered about the 7th rider. From the picture she had in her mind he was smaller then the rest, but not that small. The riders stopped talking and looked at Hermione oddly. She was biting her lip, had one eyebrow raise and was shaking her head yes and no. She was obviously fighting to herself about what to do. She would have apparated a long time ago if she wasn't still on school grounds. "Well, looks like we have caught the bookworm Gryffindor off guard and she isn't smart enough to find away out." Lucius said.
"Are you after me because I am smarter than your son?" Hermione asked. Lucius growled once more. "Draco will always be smarter than you he just doesn't try." Lucius gritted his teeth. "Or maybe you beat him to much he is so caught up in trying not to be in pain than to be working on his studies." Hermione commented trying to make it so Lucius didn't hear her, but everyone did. The 7th rider finally spoke. "Dumb Ass." Was his only comment but Hermione knew instantly that it was Malfoy. "Are you after me because Harry and Ron beat up Malfoy?" Hermione instantly knew she had said the wrong thing. She could feel everyone's eyes go from her to Malfoy. "But I suppose he deserved it, he did knock me unconscious. It is what he deserved." Hermione said trying to save his butt. It had worked, everyone's eyes were wide and back on her.
Lucius had had it with her comments. "Crucio." He yelled causing Hermione to fall off of Oreo. Oreo got spooked by the fall and took off running back into the forest. Some of the riders made an effort to go after her but Lucius stopped them. "No, stay and make sure Draco does his job." Lucius smirked looking at Malfoy. Hermione was now blind, in major pain, and in the middle of a ring of Death Eaters, ALONE. Hermione knew thing were getting bad by the second but didn't show any fear. She knew if she were to show any fear she would be killed in a second.
Draco slowly pulled him wand from his pocket and pointed it at Hermione. But Hermione had an idea. "Hey DunDun?" Hermione asked him. He turned red with anger at that name. Hermione knew if her plan didn't work she would be dead, that is why her plan had to work. Malfoy looked annoyed and he knew his father was watching him. "What?" He gritted his teeth. Hermione was stalling for time as she made sure in her head her plan would work. "You know that when Oreo gets back to Hogwarts without me, that both Harry and Ron will come looking for me and then you can kill me in front of the, isn't that what you want to do. Make him mourn?" Hermione asked. "The mudblood has a point. Then we can kill the dream team and make the master happy." Zabini said with a smirk. "Fine, but if they don't come within an hour, you are dead." Lucius said.
Hermione wished she couldlook around the field. It was very small, only big enough for the 7 riders and Hermione to fit in it. Hermione smirked to herself. Lucius hadbegan to talk about other plans. "I can hear you ya know." Hermione stated loudly. Lucius growled and they moved the little distance they could to get away. "I can still hear you." Hermione smiled inside, her plan was working. "Draco, watch the mudblood, we are going to talk in the field behind those trees." Lucius said. Draco nodded and the 6 riders left on foot. The horses were just standing in the grass. Hermione pulled out her wand and pointed it at the horses. "Picturess." She said and pictures the horses. 3 of them were regular black thoroughbreds, but the other 3 were tall, skinny black stallions. Hermione turned her head towards where she assumed Draco was. "Malfoy, I need to use the restroom." Hermione lied. Draco groaned and untied her ropes but kept his wand on her. Go behind the horses, leave and I will catch you." He said. Hermione nodded and stood walking over to the biggest black stallion.
Making sure Draco wasn't looking; Hermione hoisted herself up silently and kicked the horse in the direction of the path. It took of at lightning speed and when Draco turned his head towards the trail he saw the butt end of the horse and gasped. He got on his own horse and took of after her. Hermione, who had gotten a giant head start and a faster horse, had an advantage over Draco. But Draco was hot on her trail. Hermione wished she had vision because she knew nothing about horses or how to steer them.
Hermione came to the clearing and was about to exit the clearing into the path to Hogwarts when Draco took out his wand. "Avada Kedavra." He shouted aiming for Hermione but hitting the horse. The horse to a plunge to the ground on top of Hermione.
(A/N…Hahaha… I am gonna leave you hanging. Only I know what happens. Hope you like it… I like writing it. When I added Oreo I had this idea because one day this summer I got angry with my family and I spent the whole day out with my neighbor's horses. I felt a horse could be a very loyal creature and that they really love people. So that is my purpose of Oreo…stay tuned to see what happens next.
