Chapter 4:
September 26,
It's four days away from my birthday. One of the occasions I hate having in my life is birthdays! It's not the presents they gave me but I hate BIRTHDAY SURPRISES. It's getting me jumpy and goosebumps all over my body. Since I'm turning seventeen this year, I'm not used to it because since I was one I get BIRTHDAY SURPRISES…every year! ARGH! I hate it. I wish they stopped that nonsense crap!
But Ginny and Harry insist to have a party of my own. They offer me their help to plan my party. I said to them there's no need to have a party; a 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY HERMIONE' would be accepted. They dropped the topic about 'MY BIRTHDAY', but I can feel their planning something.
Anyway, I've sense something fishy these past few days. It's kinda weird Ginny wont talk to harry. Since we got here she's with Harry all the time but she's with the GIRLS now. Maybe they have some misunderstanding? Maybe they fought about something? Or maybe…one of them…WAS FALLING FOR THE OTHER?…nah…it wont happen! Harry won't fall in love with Ginny. Ginny would probably be the one…but…why?
Enough about that. Ill just have to talk to one of them. Later, I guess.
She puts down her notebook and quill. She begins to rub her forehead. Hermione was so tired of all these things that have been happening on her.
The previous day, Draco won some points for her friendship.
Flashback
Hermione was carrying some books that she got from the private section of the library. She turns around the hall when she saw boys…SLYTHERIN BOYS…beating someone. She runs to them and saw Dean on the floor with blood coming out from his mouth.
She drops the books and she drags away the boys that were still beating Dean. "GET THE FUCK OFF OF HIM!" she was screaming madly at them. They were four of them; the other boy pulls Hermione away from the crowd and keeps her still on the wall. "You don't have anything to do with this," he points one of his fingers at her face. "If you don't want to get beaten up like this MUDBLOOD, better not tell this to anyone or you better run for your life!"
"Are you threatening me? Don't you know my position here?" Hermione said in a 'pissed' tone of voice. "Even though you're a Head Girl, that doesn't mean you could go butt in on people's business!"
Hermione's hazel brown eyes were now dark. She can't believe this boy doesn't respect her and her position being a Head Girl. "Don't even regret what I could do to you!" the boy leans closer to her. "What are you" Hermione doesn't wait for his reply, she punched him squared in the face. The boy falls to the ground and was holding his now broken nose. "Now do you regret it?"
"HERMIONE!" Hermione turns around to see Draco rushing forward to her. "What happened?"
"Help, Dean!" She was pointing at the three boys who are still beating Dean. Draco shoves off the three of them. When they notice Draco, they stop and bow their heads. "The three of you, go to Snape! Now!" Draco was ranging in anger. The three did what they were told. After the 'beaters' disappeared. He carries Dean to the Hospital Wing.
They were now at the Hospital Wing. Dean was put on one of the beds, unconscious. Madam Pompfrey was cleaning him up with water and towel. At the other side, Draco was sitting on an armchair beside Hermione who was sitting in the bed.
"Draco…"
"Hmmm…"
Hermione smiles at him. "Thank you." What! Thank you! Are you gone insane, Hermione! You're thanking Malfoy, her conscience spits back at her. Its ok, he deserves your thank you! Don't worry about it, another side of her said.
Draco smiles back. "You're welcome." He said…welcome! He's really…weird!
End of Flashback
She thinks about that, He earned some points from me. Well…he's got…60 points to go! Let's see what he'll do to earn points for me…She grins at her thoughts.
"Hey." Hermione turns around. "Draco, what are you doing in the library?" she stands up and approach Draco. "Oh, I'm just borrowing this book." He taps his hands on the big thick book that was in his hold. "You? Its lunch time, why are you here? Don't you want to eat?"
Hermione waves her hands in the air. "No. I'm not hungry. I…I…I'm just writing something." She gave him a nervous smile. She smiles at me… Hermione begins to collect her things. "I better get going. I've got classes after lunch. Bye!" Draco smiles back. Hermione passed him and exits the library with a smile on her face.
"WHERE IS HE, GABOUR? TELL ME WHERE IS DADDY?" The lady was shouting at the house elf that you could see fear in his eyes. "Miss, he cant be disturbed his eating his dinner at the Great Hall."
"Great Hall…", she mumbles to herself. She pushes the house elf out of her way and walks towards the direction of the Great Hall. She was followed by two bodyguards. She turns to the bodyguards. "STAY HERE! DON'T FOLLOW ME!" The two bodyguards froze and obey their boss.
It was dinnertime and the Great Hall was full of chattering people. When there was a bang in the entrance door of the Great Hall. All eyes turn towards the door. She was taping her foot on the floor and she looks very aggravated. She was tall, about 5"7 in height and has a perfectly shaped curved body. Her hair that was black with red highlights on it has wavy locks at the end. She wears a lace blouse, tittered mini skirt with black laced-up heels. She has icy blue eye shadow that matches her eyes, pink blush and a shiny lip gloss. She walks like a super model towards the head table but her face where all crunched up.
All the boys where staring at her, like they want to shag her. While the girls admire her gracefulness of walking and her muggle outfit.
"Oh my gosh!" Hermoine stares at her. Harry noticed Hermione's stare at this lady. "Hermione, do you know who she is?" Hermione stands up, ignoring Harry's question.
The professors and students were now listening to what will happen next. Hermione grabs the lady's arm and whispers to her, "Please, not here. Zia, talk to him after this. Do you want this entire people to know who you are?"
"I HAVE THE RIGHT TO TELL PEOPLE WHO I AM! LET GO OF MY ARM!", she spats back. Hermione lets go of her arm. She was wide-eyed shock that Jadzia shouts at her for the first time. Jadzia or Zia never shouts at Hermione. It was the first time she shouted at her and the most painful thing is, its in front of ALL THE PEOPLE IN HOGWARTS.
Jadzia saw Hermione's reaction when she shouted at her. She seems hurt. "Hermione, I didn't mean to shout at you. I'm sorry." Hermione backs away and runs outside. She was then followed by Harry.
"Hermione, wait up!" Harry was trying to catch up with Hermione. Hermione was running as fast as she could. She ignores Harry and runs outside. She stops outside; she scanned it and found a lake. Noticing Hermione was going to the lake, Harry runs as fast as he could to stop her from jumping the lake. "HERMIONE, STOP!"
"GO AWAY! I DON'T NEED ANYONE!" Her face was full of tears. She cast a spell on herself to breathe underwater. "HERMIONE, DON'T" it was too late; Hermione had already jump on the lake.
I'll just talk to her, later. She proceeds walking towards the head table. She stops in front of Professor Dumbledore. "YOU CHEATED ON ME! ARE YOU FORGETTING ABOUT OUR DEAL! HOW DARE YOU!" Professor Dumbledore whispers at her. "Jadzia, can you stop this just for a moment? Ill introduce you to the whole school, it seems they were wondering who are you. After I introduce you, you will go to my office and there we will talk. Are you fine with that?"
She nods. "But, for one circumstance!" Professor Dumbledore sighs. "What is it?" she points a finger on him. "Don't keep me waiting because you know patience is not in my characteristics as a person!"
"As you wish, my princess! Now, turn around so I could introduce you to the school." She turns around to face the whole school. "Everyone, this is Jadzia Kalika Abshier Dumbledore. She's my one and only daughter. I apologize to all of you for her sudden outburst."
All of the girls have covered their mouth and gasped on the sudden news. While the boys were bewildered.
"Are there any questions?" A girl in the Gryffindor table asked, "Sir, how come you have a daughter? I mean we never saw you're wife and she doesn't even look like you."
"She isn't adopted Ms. Crombie. She's a Dumbledore. Her mother's identity is confidential. Now, no more questions and lets proceed our interrupted dinner." Professor Dumbledore sits down while Zia exits the Great Hall to find Hermione.
Harry was on the grass, waiting for Hermione. He pulls his sleeves and look at his muggle watch. It was already an hour since Hermione jumped on the lake. He was getting nervous. He stands up and walks back and forth.
He was still looking at the lake, What the bloody hell was she thinking? Its already October, it's fucking freezing in there! Hermione, please get out. Please…I'm begging you! Harry's hands were trembling and sweaty. He was now panicking. Harry, come up with a plan! Don't just panic here. Do something, the other side of his conscience was telling him. But what will I do? The other one said to him. He thinks for a moment.
He brightens up when he had an idea on his mind. Harry runs inside to go to Professor Dumbledore. He turns left on the corner when his body crashed on another body.
They both fell on the cold floor. While touching his bum, he looks on the person who he bumped into. He noticed that it was the lady who came banging on the door when they had dinner at the Great Hall. He approached her.
"Are you alright?"
"Yeah…you? Are you ok?" She stands up and straightens up her clothes. She offered her hands to him.
Harry accepted her offer and stands up. "Thanks. Sorry I bumped into you. I was kinda in a hurry…I" Harry stops; seeing the lady in front of him doesn't even care he was in a hurry. "I guess I should stop. You wouldn't even care do you? Do you need anything?"
She smiles at him. "Glad you said that!" she hesitates for a moment. "Do you happen to see a girl? She has brown shoulder length hair and has hazel brown eyes. About this tall." She motions her hands at the level of her shoulders.
A girl…with brown shoulder length hair and has hazel brown eyes…Hermione! "Yes. She happens to be my best friend. I followed her when you shouted at her and she runs away."
She sighs in relief. "Can you tell me, where she go?" Harry ignored her question; he grabs her hands and drags her outside towards the lake.
Harry points towards the lake. "She jumps in the lake an hour ago."
"WHAT! WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'AN HOUR AGO'?"
"I'm telling the truth. It's been an hour now she jumps in there."
"ITS OCTOBER! IT'S FUCKING COLD OUT THERE! WHY DON'T YOU STOP HER?" Zia was now panicking that she noticed that she was shouting at him. "I WAS SUPPOSED TO STOP HER WHEN SHE JUMPS IN THERE! SHE SAID SHE DOESN'T NEED ANYONE OF US!"
Zia removes her heels. "Hold on to this." She gave her heels to Harry. She walks towards the lake. "Hey, what are you doing?" She looks back at Harry. "What do you think, I'm doing? I'm going to save my sister. You fucking idiot! You should have done this when she jumped an HOUR ago!" After casting a spell on herself to breathe on water, she jumps at the lake and disappeared.
"WHAT!" Harry was confused. Hermione has a SISTER? How could that be? She's an only child…
A/N Is Zia related to Hermione? And where will Hermione go after she jump out of the lake? You will find out...on the next chapter! REVIEW PLEASE!
