Ok guys:) I couldn't wait to post the next chap. So I decided to do it now! Lol im very impatient and you probably are too so here it is!

(in the last chapter:

Hermione lifted her head to see Neville rubbing the back of his head while Ginny and Ron tried to see what was happening. She slowly began to get to her feet when all of the lights on the train went out...)

Train ride

Hermione stood still in the dark and waited to see if the lights were going to come back on. After a minute, everyone started to get fearful.

"Ron?" asked Ginny.

"What's happening? Where'd the lights go?" she questioned fearfully.

" I dunno, Ginny...just stay still" Ron said with a little quiver in his voice.

And that's when they all heard it; the noise that makes all of the hairs on the back of your neck stand up...the noise that everyone had come to fear even more than what is normal. They heard screaming coming from the front of the train. Everyone new that only meant one thing; Death Eaters were ambushing the train. Hermione whipped her head around to look towards the door and saw shapes outside.

No one made a sound as Harry tried to openthe window silently. When it was opened he motioned for Ginny to come forward to climb out. Ginny carefully climbed out, jumped to the ground below, and landed with a soft thud.Next came Ron and Neville. Hermione stayed behind because she new the most curses to hold of the death eaters in case they needed to. After Neville was out of the window, Harry turned around and waved at Hermione.

"Come on Hermione, you next" said Harry.

Hermione shook her head. "No, you go so I can hold them off."

Harry carefully climbed out while looking skeptical. Then Hermione walked up tp the window and threw her wand out so Ron could catch it. She then kicked one leg over and was getting ready to kick the other over when she turned around and found herself facing a death eater. Hermione was so surprised that she almost let go of the window as she screamed. The death eater grabbed one of Hermione's hands and continued to pull as hard as he could. Hermione tried to reach down and grab Harry's hand so he could help, but she couldn't even reach him. She tried to kick the death eater in the face but he just grabbed her foot and twisted. She screamed in pain.

Hermione saw what she needed to do. She brought her fist back as far as she could and punched him in the face with all her might. The death eater let out a grunt of pain and let go. Hermione flew off the window and landed on the ground on her side. The wind was immediately knocked out of her. Harry and Ron helped her to her feet and they tried to run away from the train. They saw a forest ahead and ran into it. Hermione was running as fast as she could. After 2 minutes she turned around.

"Guys, I think we're far en...guys?" She didn't see them anywhereHermione began to panic. She started running further and was nearing a small lake when she heard rustling in the bushes. She twirled around to try to see who was there.

"Hello?" she said, close to tears.

Just than, the death eater from before stepped out from behind a tree. Hermione screamed as loud as she could. With any luck, someone would hear her and come to help.

She saw him pull out his wand and the next thing she new, she was flying through the air, only to land in the lake. She went plummeting down to the bottom and hit her head on a rock. The last thing she remembered seeing was what appeared tobe, none other than Draco Malfoy.
