The Way
Chapter 4:
I Promise
"In my seven years at Hogwarts, nothing this bad has been targeted toward me," Hermione thought. "But Harry would know how dangerous these situations can be, so I'm pretty sure I can trust him."
Just then, Lavender Brown barged into their dorm.
"Harry's in the Hospital Wing. Someone bashed him in the head. Oh, he looks horrible and they don't know if he'll make it," she managed to get out before she burst into tears.
As fast as lightning, Hermione was down in the Hospital Wing, holding Harry's hand. She sat there with him, weeping as he slipped into a coma.
"Hermione, I just heard. Oh gods, you're a wreck. Go clean up and I'll watch for signs of him waking up," Ron said as he placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Thanks Ron, I won't be long. I'm really glad you came."
"Of course, why wouldn't I."
"Well, you've been really busy lately and-"
"Mya, I always have time for my two best friends, I just figured you two would want some alone time to re-bond after what happened."
"You're right, thanks again."
In ten minutes time, Hermione was back, only this time she had books and homework to pass the time until he woke up.
"Hermione?" Ron's voice came, breaking the fake look of concentration on Hermione's face.
"Yes?"
"Do you have any idea who would do this to Harry?"
She thought for a long time. She wondered if she should tell Ron about Malfoy's plan. She figured she should because after all, Ron was here ready to support both Harry and Hermione.
After a few minutes of deep thought, Hermione whispered Malfoy's horrible plan to Ron.
"And that's why I think Malfoy or one of his cronies hit Harry."
"Oh my gods, Mya! Why didn't you tell me?"
"Harry only told me yesterday and I haven't seen you around in a while."
"Sorry, I guess I have been rather busy. But I'm here now, and that's all that matters, right?"
"Right."
"Okay, do you think Harry had a plan to defeat Malfoy?"
"Probably, but it could take ages for Harry to wake up. By that time Malfoy could've already forced his way into what he wants." At this, Hermione shuddered. "I don't even want to think about it," she said breaking in tears.
Ron hugged Hermione close. "Don't worry, Mya. I'll figure everything out. Everything will be okay, I promise."
