In The Moon Light
Chapter 1: End of Summer
Grimmauld Place, 7:00 a.m.
The summer was over. Hermione woke up before everybody on the first day back to school. She sat in her bed thinking about the summer's events. After she had gotten back to Grimmauld Place everyone acted as if none of it had happened. But it did. She had been a vampire. She killed Mundungus Fletcher and she had nearly turned Mr. Weasly into a vampire as well. As much as she wanted to forget it like everyone pretended they had, she couldn't. She couldn't look in the mirror without seeing the awful scar at the side of her neck. Mr. Weasly had a scar too. It was nearly impossible to get rid of a vampire's scar.
Her being a vampire was not the thing that bothered her most though, it was Draco. She hadn't seen Draco since that night when she was cured. She didn't know whether to be relieved or disappointed. She felt a little of both. She was grateful that he had helped her but she wasn't sure why he had. When she got her memory back it had scared her how Draco had a nicer side to him. What scared her more was how he seemed to feel about her.
The door to her bedroom creaked open and Ginny stuck her head in. "Mom wants everyone up and down in the kitchen in ten minutes." Hermione nodded and Ginny left.
Sighing, Hermione got dressed slowly. She was in no hurry to get to the train station where she'd have to face Draco.
When she got downstairs Harry and Ron were already at the table with a space between them for her to sit. They had grown extra protective of her since her vampire incident. She knew they would be even worse at school. She hadn't even told them about the kiss between her and Draco. Or the talk they had the night she got her memory back.
Breakfast was quiet as everyone thought that it was much too early. A lot of things had been quiet that summer. Hermione hated it.
"Everyone packed?" Mrs. Weasly asked.
The teenagers all answered yes in unison and went upstairs to retrieve their things.
Hermione was in her room when Harry appeared at her door. "Are you alright?" he asked.
She smiled, "Yeah. Why?"
He shrugged, "I don't know, you just seem very quiet all the time. Like your thinking about stuff constantly. What do you think about?"
"Just stuff. Like you said."
"It's time to go!" Mrs. Weasly called.
"I gotta get my stuff, I'll see you downstairs," Harry said and left the room.
Taking a deep breath, Hermione stood up and picked up her trunk. She hadn't left Grimmauld Place since she got there. It was time to face the world. It was time to face the kids at school (some of them had to know, some of them always did). But worst of all it was time to face Draco.
A/n: I know it's short but bear with me. It's only the opening chapter, they will get longer as the story progresses.
