Hermione obliviated with a vengeance, praying that the poor woman Malfoy had used as a hostage would be fine. Though she seemed fixed on the fact that it was Christmastime, she seemed perfectly sound aside from that.
She wanted to strangle the life out of him for so unjustly attacking her in her sanctuary that no longer seemed so safe. The instant she was dismissed Hermione raced to her room to write an owl to Harry.
Her room was slightly bland, she only needed the necessities; running water, a bed to sleep in, and a fair amount of food. She did not like eating at the tavern. The walls were bare and bleached white, but they were peeling.
She had grown accustomed to her surroundings and simply marched over to the dilapidated desk and began to scratch a note quickly.
Harry,
Not as safe as you thought. Malfoy came, took a Muggle hostage, wanted me to come with him. The woman got away unscathed, as did he. I have no doubt that he will return.
Hermione.
She sent it with her tawny owl quickly, though she knew that it was resentful for she had awoken her and not given her an owl treat. No time for pleasantries. She waited impatiently for a reply only to be disappointed
Stay where you are. I'm adding extra security.
Harry.
She nearly screamed in anger, rolling her eyes as she reread the message over and over again. She could no believe that he was so naive. Malfoy...Draco Malfoy. He works with Lord Voldemort, he can make it past extra security features. She hated how he attempted to hide her away in his own little universe, as though doing so would protect her.
It's Ron. His death is killing him. It was true, he became slightly distant, though he still confided in Hermione on occasions. It was the last thing she wanted, to be treated like a child, but she trusted him.
Hermione was tempted to send Ginny an owl, she had missed her greatly, seeing as they had not spoken for nearly a full year. But Harry's rules were unfair, but straightforward. No outside contact besides himself. She could almost hear him speaking the words, evident fear in his eyes. She had not thought to defy him, but she was feeling, for lack of a better word, rebellious.
He was a great wizard, a wonderful friend, and a kind man. But these traits were not enough. He felt the need to control and manipulate all of his friends' and loved ones' lives, though such manipulation would only result in annoyance. After Ron's death he had acted as a father figure to her, though she was months older.
She scolded herself for such thoughts, but secretly knew that she could not control her emotions. What's done is done, but I'm not going to make it easy for Malfoy to get me.
Short chappie and kinda boring, but it's just supposed to explain how she feels about Harry's control in her life. It was a necessary evil, and i enjoyed writing it. NEXT WEEK NO UPDATES, sorry, rhode island calls! heehee, funnyfunfun! REVIEW and ill update in a jiffy...or two.
