40) The Hollow
Where was she? He knew that he had heard her voice somewhere. Draco opened his eyes and he was in a small hollow. He was surrounded by several tall trees with strange carvings all over them. A dull, throbbing pain was pounding in his head and he looked at the sky which was now dark. No, it was a cerulean blue with hundreds of stars twinkling at him, as though mocking his stupidity. He had woken up and Hermione was fast asleep. He decided to take a walk, and he had gotten lost. It was then he had met the veela girl, and he had no idea where she was now.
"Awake?" a voice asked. He painfully turned his head to see a young girl about his age sitting against a tree. She had long blue hair and she was wearing forest garb.
"Who are you?" Draco asked.
"My name is Serenity," she said. Malfoy looked around and then he began to rise up, only to fall back down with a throb in his left leg. "I tried my best to patch it up for you," she said. Draco looked at her.
"What?" he asked. She began playing with her hair.
"Well, the veela had actually began…shall I say feasting on you? When I came and startled them, they accidentally gashed you in your leg," she said. He looked at his leg where the pant was ripped and he saw a makeshift bandage.
"Well, Thanks," he said. She nodded. "Where exactly are we?" he asked. She looked around.
"The Hollow," she said. "It's where the veela can't see us," she said. He nodded and then he looked away.
"I need to find Hermione," he said. She looked at him and she smiled.
"You've been calling out for her all the time you were unconscious," she said. He nodded. "Listen, stay here, I have to go and look for my friend Andrew," she said. He nodded. "Don't leave the hollow, or they'll come after you to finish the job," she said with a warning tone. He nodded and then he watched her as she walked through two trees. The area seemed to shimmer and then she disappeared.
"What was that?" he asked out loud.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
"We're entering much more dangerous ground. I suggest that you keep your wand out and ready," Andrew said. Hermione nodded and she held her wand tightly in front of her. They continued walking when suddenly Hermione cried out.
"Andrew! Look out!" she screamed. He gasped and managed to dodge the creature that had attacked him. It looked like a person, only to resemble a monster. It had long, filthy hair, and extremely long hands and legs.
"Run Hermione!" he shouted. She turned around and she pointed her wand at the thing.
"Petrificus Totalus!" She cried. The monster froze and fell to the floor. "Come on Andrew!" she said. He nodded and they began running faster down the path. He pointed to a bunch of trees up ahead and he shouted to her.
"Get to the hollow!" he said. At that moment someone shouted Andrew's name. He turned around and he saw Serenity. She motioned for him to go to the hollow and he nodded. Hermione was wiping her forehead and she stepped in the ring of trees. She looked around and then her gaze landed on Draco. He looked up and smiled.
"Hermione!" he said. Tears welled in her eyes and she ran to him. She dropped to the ground and she pulled him in her embrace.
"Draco, you idiot! Where did you go?" she asked. He looked at her.
"For a walk," he said. She sighed and she wrapped her arms around his neck.
"I'm going to kill you," she said. He grinned and then he nodded.
"Fine, as long as you kiss me first…"
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^**^*^*^*^*^*
"Please be careful the next time you decide to come here," said Serenity. Hermione nodded and she threw a glance at Malfoy.
"We will, I don't think that we'll be here for a while," Hermione said. Serenity and Andrew nodded and smiled.
"Well, the door's over there, do come and visit us," Serenity said. They nodded and began walking towards the door.
"Thank you for everything," Hermione said.
"Don't mention it," Andrew said with a twinkle in his eye. Hermione waved and then they went through the door. They were back in the corridor and Hermione lit her wand.
"Wonderful day," Malfoy said. Hermione didn't reply, she just rolled her eyes.

41) Heart to Heart; Harry and Hermione (*Note- If you did not read the Order of the Phoenix yet, the end of this chapter contains spoilers about who died. See my A/N at the end of this chapter on my opinion of the book)
"Please can we have some quiet in this common room?" Hermione shouted. The students in the Gryffindor tower settled down and looked at Hermione attentively. "Ok, I want to announce that we will be having a guest at our school soon. Professor McGonagall is busy and so I'm making the announcement for her. She said to tell you that if you wish to sign up for this class, tell me now. The name of the class is The Rudimentary Basics of Flying. Now I know many of you are taking flying lessons with Professor Wood, but this class is for students who wish to take a closer look into the world of flying and Quidditch. If you have in mind some sort of career in this felid, and you want to sign up for the course, please sign the parchment that is being passed around. Any questions?" There was a silence until one boy put his hand in the air. "Yes Chris?" she said.
"Who will be teaching this course?" he asked. Hermione beamed at them.
"Well, Viktor Krum will," Immediately a chatter broke out in the room and she smiled. "I want to ask you to please be respectful to him," she said. No one was really paying attention and she sighed and shrugged.
"Well you tried," Harry said with a grin. She looked at him and smiled.
"Yeah," she said.
"So how's everything between you and Malfoy?" Harry asked dropping his tone. Hermione smiled and she plopped down on the couch next to Harry.
"It's fine," she said. "What about you and Gin?" she asked. Harry smiled.
"Everything's wonderful," he said with a smile. Hermione looked at him.
"What do you mean wonderful?" she asked with a grin. He looked at her.
"You know what I mean," he said.
"You know, I'm surprised that she hasn't been complaining to me about you yet," Hermione said. Harry looked at her.
"What do you mean?" he asked. Hermione grinned.
"Well for the past few years, every time she had a boyfriend, she would complain to me about two days after she had started going out. Neville was to chubby in the cheeks, Dean was too much into Quidditch, Michael was dull, Colin was way to obsessed with you, and well, I can go on and on," she said. Harry stared at her.
"Wow, I hope she doesn't do that to me," he said. They laughed. "I have a question Mione," he said. She looked at Harry.
"What?" she asked.
"Well, I don't want to sound nosy, but, what exactly do you see in him?" Harry asked. Hermione looked into the fire and smiled.
"Well Harry, it's just that, I've never been attracted to anyone the way I am to him. When we met in Paris and he tried to push me off the balcony and I slapped him, I was…well I don't know. But when he apologized, and when…stuff happened that even I can't explain. We just connected somehow, and then, well, it's just a thing," she said. Harry looked even more confused than before.
"Er…yeah," he said. She smiled.
"It's hard to explain, Harry," she said. He nodded.
"I understand. When I had a crush on Cho, I couldn't really understand what I was feeling," he said.
"Do you still like her?" Hermione asked. He shook his head.
"Ever since what she did to me in the Hog's Head, I…felt a strong feeling of dislike towards her," he said honestly. Hermione smiled.
"And what are you going to do about Luna?" she asked.
"Lovegood is crazy," he said with a laugh.
"I know," she said.
"But in a good way," he said. She nodded.
"She really did help us out when…" Hermione's voice trailed off. She swallowed a lump in her throat and she looked away.
"It's ok Hermione, we all miss him," Harry said hoarsely. She nodded and sighed.
"Sorry about that," she said. He looked at her.
"It's all right. I know that he's in a better place," Harry said.
"Sirius was a wonderful guy," Hermione said in a low voice.
"Yeah…he was," Harry said.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Why am I sitting here all alone?
When the girl of my dreams is a minute away?
Why am I feeling so sad?
When I know I will have her someday?
Krum looked down at the paper and he crumpled it up and threw it away. Why was he moping around for her? She wanted someone else so why couldn't he just leave her alone? He wanted to just leave the job and run away but that would be cowardice. He looked out the window and he decided that he would go along with the boy's plan. If it would cause her pain so be it. Because nothing could compare to the anguish that he was going through now.

A/N: Well, The Order of the Phoenix was breathtaking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I absolutely loved that book I could not take my nose out of it. The whole atmosphere was really dark, and that Umbridge woman was ugh!!
I really wanted to just kill her. Really. The revelations at the end were so scary and cool. And well if you don't have it, GET IT RIGHT NOW. Let's have a moment of silence for (my baby) Sirius Black.

*Sob* Ok, well if you did read it, please tell me what you think. I hope you enjoyed this chapter.

"Life is but a dream that we aspire to achieve."
SOMEONE ASKED IF I WROTE THE POEMS AND I DID. I'M A POEM FANATIC, I WRITE THEM ALL THE TIME ^_^

REVIEW PLEAZEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THANKX FOR ALL THE REVIWZ SO FAR!!
This was a poem that I had written for class about the book Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad.
His heart was buried in darkness
and no one was there for him.
He lived alone in the
silence,
that would slowly kill him.
All the lies that he ran from,
would soon consume him.
And he would become a liar himself,
and break his own heart without knowing it.
He closed his eyes and he saw it.
The darkness in his heart.
He opened his eyes and looked down,
and then he fell apart.
Oh what did this do to him?
No longer did he know.
His feelings locked inside.
No longer could they grow.
And as the days went by
he slowly disappeared.
and no one even realized
That he wasn't there.
There was a darkness around him,
A darkness in his heart.
And now I begin to realize,
that I was going to fall apart.
So listening to the ones I love,
I began to take away,
all the pain that
the darkness caused.
and then I realized
that I felt nothing at all.
