Chapter 10 Run Away
Hermione had called in sick before she left the house. She needed to get as far away from her work as possible. She couldn't believe what had happen, she didn't think that the reporters would get wind of what she had done so soon.
Hermione didn't know where she was going she just started walking away. First it was just walking through muggle London, looking in the shop windows. She was receiving many odd looks for her robes but she didn't care. Many people even avoided her like she had the plague.
When Hermione grew tired of walking along the cold streets she at down on a bench in the park that was hidden among the trees. It really was a beautiful place with its large willows and oaks, wild flowers growing in little bushels together, and birds of every kind singing together. There was a trail that cut through the trees and across the grass. The harmony of nature and person was present.
A feeling of emptiness lingered in Hermione's heart as she sat on the park bench. Tears slowly feel down her face as she looked at the ground. She didn't care so much about work, she realized that love and happiness couldn't be found in a job or a book.
She sat there as the sun moved across the sky, hunger and uncomfort gnawing away her insides but she didn't care because she couldn't go on with her heart aching. She had a tear stained face and couldn't make them fall any more for there were none left.
The sun was hanging low in the sky when she heard distant two voices coming closer. One was definitely a female's and the other's was certainly a males. Hermione couldn't make out what they were saying though she didn't care.
"That's it just be careful and take it one step at a time." Said the feminine voice.
"I am! But I still haven't got the hang of this. Do muggles really use this cane thing to get around." The male voice sounded frustrated.
Just then around the bend in the trees was a man and a woman. The woman was shorter than the man by a lot. She had dark red hair where as the man had bright blonde. The man had a white cane in his hand as he moved it back and forth, stumbling. The woman muttered engorgement with every step with a warm smile.
Hermione recognized the two instantly. One was none other than Draco Malfoy and the other was the intern assigned to help him, Cat Wiltshire.
Cat looked up and saw Hermione sitting there. She waved and directed Draco in Hermione's direction.
"What are you doing here, Miss Granger? I heard you were out sick today." Cat said as she looked at Hermione funny. "Is this like a day off?"
"Yes, it is." Hermione said simply as she looked at Draco. She was more like running away from work for the day but Cat didn't have to know that.
"I read the paper this morning. Skeeter had no right saying those things." Cat said shaking her head.
"It's okay." Hermione said as she looked back down at the ground.
"Cat can you go get me a drink please? Maybe a soda?" Draco said as he came to stand next to Cat.
"It'll just take me a minute." Cat said as she hurried off.
