Chapter 2: Attacked

The woods were dark and eerie; Hermione began to wonder if it had been stupid to go through them.

"Of course it wasn't" she told herself firmly. Looking at he map she said, "If I walk straight I should be out of here in about an hour. Then it's only about a mile to get to grimmauld place."

She walked on for about two hours before she began to worry. I should be out by now. She thought, maybe a I read the map wrong. But when she reached into her trunk she found that the map was no longer there. Great, just great!

Suddenly there was a high pitched howling in the distance, Hermione froze. There are no wolves in around here, it just must be a dog. She assured herself. There was another howl but this time closer. Hermione began walking faster in the other direction but before long she heard a rustling behind her. She spun around and saw what was causing the noise was only a few yards from her but he did not seem to notice her yet. It was a werewolf.

Hermione began to back away very slowly. When she stepped on a twig the werewolf looked up quickly. His fierce eyes spotted her immediately, his yellowish teeth were bared and he lat out a low pitched growl. Hermione ran as fast as she could away from it. She could here the awful creature chasing closely behind her. She looked desperately for a place to hide as she ran but had no luck. After a while it seemed the werewolf gave up. Hermione figured it was hurt, for a healthy werewolf would have caught her in seconds.

I must be in enchanted forest. She thought, I didn't know there was any around here!

She walked cautiously around, not knowing what to do next. She was completely lost now and had no idea what to do next. She figured the sun would be up in about an hour and she would be safe then. But as she wandered aimlessly, she did not notice a lurking figure following her, waiting to strike.

Still out of breath from being chased, she decided to take a chance to sit and rest. As she stared straight ahead the thought more about earlier that day, and the fights she had with her parents.

Flashback

Around noon time Hermione had decided to try to talk to her parents again.

"Daddy," she began when she found her father in his study, "Daddy why can't you and mum except that I'm a witch and let me live life the way I want?"

Her father sighed, "Sweetie your mother and I want what's best for you and we don't think going to a school that nobody can know about and where you get taught by lunatics that think they can do magic is it."

"You never felt this way before! What changed your mind?"

"You'll never make it in life if you don't get proper education! You've had your fun now it's time to come back down to earth and stop thinking crazy!"

End flashback

Hermione was pulled out of her thoughts when a mysterious figured emerged from the trees. Slowly Hermione stood up and began to back away. The figure was human like but there was something about it that caused her to think otherwise. He had wiled black hair, his face was as white as a ghost, his eyes were red and mad looking, his mouthed opened to reveal two long fangs. A vampire. Hermione had read about them and knew enough to identify them. She spun around and began to run but the vampire quickly caught up to her. Grabbing her shoulder he spun her around. She let out a high pitched scream as he moved in closer.
