This
is getting really annoying…I don't own potter, I just take him
out to play
Hermiones thoughts in Italics!
Chapter 7:
Hermione could not sleep, the pain would wake her when she even got near to dozing off. Blood was now coming quite regularly out of her ears, and her nose was bleeding too. She had little to no strength left, and it was very tempting to just stop breathing and suffocate. Dried blood covered her clothes and she was sure that she only had a few hours left, maybe even a day if she was lucky. Every muscle in her body ached and breathing was quickly becoming a struggle.
She was left alone for about 2 hours before Snape
returned. He quickly sat on his transfigured chair and began to
talk.
"Miss Granger I know you are close to death, and I think
you have but a few hours at the most left on this plain." Hey,
we agree on something!
"I do not wish to tell you about the
many crimes I have committed, I just wish to tell you what you may be
able to tell somebody else if you were to survive this, which is
highly unlikely." Gee thanks for the sympathy twit, get me outta
here!
"You know better than anyone that Tom Riddle is the
heir of Slytherin. But what nobody seems to know is; who are the
heirs of Gryffindor, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff? I never thought of
that before…I wonder…
"Many people seem to think that
Harry Potter is the heir to Gryffindor. After all he did pull
Gryffindors sword out of the Sorting Hat. But I believe that the heir
to Gryffindor is no other than your dear friend, Ron Weasley. Huh!
Ron? That's a bit, well, unexpected
"Ravenclaws heir seems
to be somebody whose talent rivals your own." A compliment from
the heartless Professor Snape? Somewhere there must be pigs flying,
or an ice rink in hell?
"I
think that Luna Lovegood may just be the heir of Ravenclaw." Luna,
wow I was not ready for that one.
" Hufflepuffs heir died
some time ago." Oh…well poor heirless Hufflepuff, what am I
saying!
"Cedric Diggory was Hufflepuffs heir and is the only
one out of Gryffindor, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff who can actually
prove he was the heir of Hufflepuff." Cedric! Oh gods if Harry
were here now, Snape would be dead!
"Miss Granger there is
one thing I must tell you. I plan to put you out of your misery soon.
The death I have planned will be quick and less painful than the one
you would have if I let you be…
