Finding Love

Chapter Four: What's She Up To?

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Harry Potter characters. But I do own any characters that you do not recognize: Crystallus, Terra, and Dan.

A.N.: This is an A.U. (Alternet Universe.) Because I am not J.K. Rowling and so I do not know how any of her characters think, and also because this could never happen in the book so there for it is an A.U. Thank you and enjoy.

Going back:

Crystallus's P.O.V (getting tired of it yet?)

I had to find her and some how I knew where she was. Sticking to my instinct I ran to the Room of Requirements. When I got there, there was a door standing there in front of me with I knife through it and the tiniest holes going through the rough wood. Looking at it like it was crazy I went in. I hate to tell you this but I found some thing no one would believe beyond that door.

Hermione's P.O.V.:

After I ran from the Great Hall I went to the Room of Requirements, I knew I could just sit there and think. I don't know about what but I knew that I had to. I paced the hall for a few minutes and then went in. Looking around I found a small room with a big fireplace and huge fluffy black couches. Flopping onto one I laid down so that I could stare into the fire.

How did he get here? I thought he wouldn't be able to find me now that I was here in Hogwarts. This is supposed to be a safe spot isn't it? Why did he have to ruin it? Watch tomorrow I am going to be all paranoid, looking over my shoulder every minute. And why didn't Harry or Ron stop him? I have known Crystallus for only a day and she is already saving me from my father. Dad is such a giving word, it doesn't fit him.

I wonder –Yawn- If Harry and the rest are looking for me…. –yawn-

Slowly I felt my self drift to sleep unknown to my changing surroundings.

When I woke up I had probably been asleep for not even a half a hour, looking around at the changed surroundings I knew what it meant.

While looking around I noticed shelves with various potions, and rows of books on topics I have not yet read, there were daggers and swords all over the walls, and bows and arrows with targets shaped as people and regular targets. There were other things like punching bags and weights and a fighting ring type of thing that looked like I could fight in it (Obviously). Although I don't know what I could do with all this and if I would even get to finish any of the stuff if I wanted to any ways.

Cautiously I picked up a bow and arrow looking at it strangely; a memory came rushing back.

-Flashback-

"MOM!" A girl around fourteen yelled out to a leaving carriage. "No! Don't leave me here! I promise I won't do any thing stupid again just don't leave me!" She cried as she fell to the dirt road. "Don't leave me." She whispered after a moment of silence. "I need you." She looked up tears glistening in her bright green eyes. "No. I won't let this happen."

All of a sudden a man appears in front of her. "What do you think you're doing witch? Get inside and clean up!" The man yelled into her face. The teen just blinked up at him and then nodded. There was silence for a minute or two until he started up again. "I said NOW! Joluette, get your lazy ass up and start cleaning that house!" Joluette blinked again and slowly got up.

Once she was standing at her full height she was around 5'2, her dark chocolate hair falling over her shoulders reaching to just past her breast. Whipping her eyes she started walking, first slowly but then fasteras the wind billowed, telling her that she could survive. Looking up to the sky she felt a rain drop. Straightening up she walked on. Knowing that if she wanted to do something about her mother then she wouldn't have any help.

Joluette walked past the bushes and trees not really noticing the beauty any more. 'I will get you back mother. I promise, no matter what it takes I will.' With that thought she walked faster into the house to finish her 'chores'.

The scene faded and a new one began

Later that day.

Looking at her self in her mirror she sighed. It had taken her three hours to actually finish what she had to do around the house. Looking into her reflection's eyes she saw a darker green, instead of a light green, color staring back at her. Looking at her self she found her hair in a messy bun with strands sticking up every way and curling, her once clean clothes were now spotted with dust and water.

Sighing for about the millionth time that day, she got changed into a pair of tight jeans and a semi- tight black shirt. She pulled her hair back again and then put her dirty clothes back over the out fit. She then opened her door and looked out making sure that no one was around. She let her self out through the long halls and through the back door and into the forest like place behind the huge house. Wandering around past the tall tree's and green bushes. Finally she came to a clearing with a big tree in the middle.

Joluette smiled a little and then went up to the tree, looking up she saw a little house. She slowly climbed up the tree with the wooden steps and then pushed the floor door open. The little wooden house creaked a bit as she pulled her fourteen year old self into the house. Looking around she saw the place exactly how it was left when she stopped going to it. Joluette saw pictures of her self and her mother, friends, and her dad when she was younger, and her favorite pictures besides the ones of her mom and her, her best friend. His name was Spike, well his nickname any ways. She had loved him like a brother, possibly even more if she knew what it was when she was younger. Spike had ran away from his parents when he was fourteen. Him being older it seemed like a great idea besides the fact that it would leave her here alone.

She hated him for it now that she realized that she wouldn't be able to see him any more, unless she went looking for him and that would probably take years to do. Looking around sadly she left the 'house' and all it's memories, after she took her dirty clothes off.

Once back on the ground she looked around and then took a deep breath. Some thing had moved, it wouldn't usually be a bad thing but things were different now. Even if no one knew about this place that doesn't really mean any thing. Moving slowly she went to the trunk of the tree and lifted a little part of the tree. Looking around once more she spotted the bush that had been moving the most, cautiously she grabbed the dagger out of the hidden space. Holding it out in front of her with a shaky hand she walked to the bush. She couldn't really see any thing behind it but trees and more bushes. Sighing when she saw a Bluish/ black cat come out of the bush. "Awww." She said as she picked it up holding it around it's stomach. "Aren't you just soooo Cute!" Joluette said while rubbing her forehead against its. 'Hmm a guy or a girl? Dare I check?" She pondered to herself.

After a few minutes she just decided to sit down and look at the cat. She sat down cross legged and put the cat in front of her. Surprisingly the cat didn't run off. Joluette smiled about that. First she checked for a collar, she didn't find one. She then checked his paws and how long they were, they weren't that long, an average cat. After a minute of looking at the cat like she couldn't believe it was there she checked the teeth. They were of course small, like a normal cat's.

Joluette leaned back a bit. There was some thing familiar about this cat, she just didn't know what. "Hmm… Who are you?" She asked the cat while petting it on the head a bit. "You can stay with me. Wait here." She got back up and went into the tree house.

-- Cat's P.O.V.---

"You can stay with me. Wait here." The girl had said and then left into the house in the tree. I looked at her as she climbed up the tree. She was even more beautiful than I remember. Next thing I know she is sitting down in front of me again and putting something on my neck. "There you go." She said after she clipped it on.

-- 3rd person ---

Petting the cat once more on the head she got up. "Now you get to watch me practice okay?" She told the cat. All it did was move its head a bit. Smiling Joluette put the dagger back into the hidden spot in the tree and pulled the flap open more; she then pulled out an arrow and soon after the bow followed. The cat pawed at the collar making it make sounds by the little bells on it.

Joluette smiled and then moved back a little so that she could hit the target. All of a sudden it started moving. She looked astonished for a moment and then smirked. Spike was some where close. The target only moved when he was here. She lowered the bow a bit and frowned. "Where are you?" She asked to no one. "It's been almost two years. You have to help me." A silent tear rolled down her check and she raised the bow once more. She positioned her hands and then pulled back as far as she could and let go, making sure to move her arm out of the strings way. She hit the target right in the middle, she turned and looked at the cat.

The scene slowly fell always and I looked straight at the target and some how felt like I could do this. I looked down at the bow. 'Hmmm why don't I just try it?' I thought as I held onto the bow with my right hand and then I positioned the arrow and pulled back on the string as far as it would go. –Whoosh- I had let it go and it landed in the ring next to the bull's eye.

My eyes got bigger as I looked at the bow. "Epp! How?" I let out a long breath and then all of a sudden every thing went black.

A.N.: Okay I am sorry I have to stop it there… I know it is incredibly short but at least I have some thing out. This is only to tell you that I will restart writing it. I have been really lazy and I have a writers block… So if any one has a suggestion I would love to hear it,I know whatI want to happenI am just stuck on this current spot... I am sorry that I have not been writing. Once again.
