A/N: I am so sorry. It has been forever since I have written on this story. I have had a major writer's block. Hopefully, this chapter will be good enough for you.
Hermione
This was the day I had been waiting for for two years, forty days and about twelve hours. The day the potion was ready. It was green and smelled of lake water, but I didn't care. All I could think about was getting out of there. It was cold, damp, and I was as skinny as a bone from not eating a lot.
We had all picked our bird. Louisa wanted to be a pigeon (for some strange reason or another), Dean a blue jay (I nearly laughed out loud when I heard this), and I was to be a swan. A calm and graceful swan.
Now was the moment of truth. He poured the potion into our three water glasses. I picked mine up, and carefully put it to my mouth. I started to sip, feeling the burning liquid run down my throat. Once it was all gone, I felt nothing. No change. Then suddenly, a tingling sensation began at the tip of my toes. Then, I was tingly all over. Seconds later, I had developed into a swan. I was beautiful.
I opened my mouth to speak, surprised that I actually could. "I feel amazing!" I exclaimed.
"Now remember, this potion lasts for twelve hours. That should give us just the right amount of time to get far enough away."
We flew through the hole we had secretly been digging, and flew out into fresh air. I breathed in some, enjoying the sensation it gave my lungs. We started flying, together to begin, but soon, we broke off from one another. I kept flying straight. It was a wonderful feeling, flying. I felt so free, so alive. I continued for another eleven hours, before I started to descend so I wouldn't drop from the sky when my time was up. I looked ahead, straining to see if anything was headed my way. My heart dropped when I saw a man riding on a horse. I looked a little closer, then, I couldn't breathe. It was Draco.
Draco
I set out that morning I had practiced until my arms and legs were sore, then I practiced some more. I read everything I could about animagus'. I finally felt as if I were ready to find her. I set off in the first direction. I rode about eleven hours before I saw something. It was white and beautiful. I rode a little closer, trying to get a better look. It was a swan. But, there was something peculiar about the way it flew. It seemed to fly like it was walking. Immediately, I realized this had to be the thing I was looking for.
I pulled out my bow. Pulling an arrow out, I aimed at the swan. (I didn't want to use my wand, in case of giving myself away.) Just as soon as the arrow left my bow, the swan went straight up. I yelled in frustration.
Aiming and shooting as much as possible, I missed every time. Soon, almost an hour had gone by. The swan swooped down and landed on the ground. I raised an eyebrow, wondering what it could be doing. I raised my bow, waiting for it to hit the ground. As soon as it did, I almost shot, but something stopped me. The swan was… glowing.
Suddenly, the swan was radiating light in every direction. It shined in my eyes, and I had to shield them so I wouldn't become blind from all the light.
Then, suddenly, the light stopped. I lowered my hands, and my heart skipped a beat at the sight before me.
There stood Hermione, dressed in white, smiling at me, where the swan had used to be. I could barely breathe. Something inside me cracked, and I nearly fell at the sight of her. She rushed towards me, and I regained my composure, rushing to her as well. When we reached each other, I scooped her up in my arms, and kissed her until we couldn't breathe.
"I missed you so much." She was the first to speak.
"I love you," I told her. Her eyes lit up.
"I love you too." I kissed her again; happy I had finally gotten my happy ending. But my happy ending was soon crushed, as a voice rang through my ears.
"Well isn't this just peachy?" I looked up. Voldemort.
I know, I know. But hopefully, I will have another chapter out today. No promises, for I am going to write a chapter for Stranded With Anyone But You, but hopefully I will finish in time to write another chapter for this.
