Chapter Three – Draco
Hermione gasped when Dumbledore fell over onto his desk and rushed over to help him. "Dumbledore are you OK?!" cried Hermione . She checked his pulse but there was none. "Oh my god did he have a stroke?" Hermione did not know what to do so she ran out of his office to find the nurse but on her way there she ran into Ginny Weasley.
"Hermione what is wrong you seem worried!" said Ginny concernedly.
"Dumbledore had a stroke or something we have to find the nurse." replied Hermione hurriedly.
"Dumbledore is dead?" gasped Ginny.
"I think!" wailed Hermione before running off again to find the nurse.
After Hermione found her the nurse looked over Dumbledore in the hospital wing and solemnly said "He's dead Ms Granger, there is nothing we can do." Hermione curled up on the cold floor and wept but then she saw Snape standing in the doorway and she ran to him.
"Professor Snape what the fuck!" snarled Hermione not thinking of what she was saying, otherwise she never would have cussed in front of a teacher or anyone really.
"Granger i told you there was dark magic!" hissed Snape looking shifty. "I donut understand how it got to Dumbledore though because the only person with him when he died was... oh Merlin."
"What?" demanded Hermione.
"Nothing I just had an epiphany. See you in class tomorrow Ms Granger its not cancelled just because someone died." said Snape rushedly and then he left quickly.
Hermione was confused and scared and grieving and she didn't know what to do. So she went to the Slytherin common room to find Draco.
"Merlin" she said the password that the other Slytherins gave her and found Draco sitting on a leather sofa.
He looked up and then his face went even whiter for some reason. "What the hell how did you get in here?" he roared as he stood up.
Hermione flinched and tears were running down her face. She went to her boyfriend for comfort. why was he being so mean? "I just I just" stuttered Hermione. "Draco Dumbledore is dead. He died right in front of me for no reason and I don't know what to do."
"Get out for one, you're not supposed to be here!" snapped Draco and the other Slytherins stood behind him with their arms folded. "You don't want to be in trouble do you?"
I ran out crying wondering why he was acting so strange. She went back to her own common room and found Harry who was playing chess with Ron by the fire all solemn like.
"Hermione" they said in unison as Hermione approached and then Harry said "We heard what happened from Ginny is it true? Is Dumbledore dead?"
"Yes!" wailed Hermione.
"What do we do now, Umbridge is going to take over the school!" Ron worried.
And then a thought struck hermione. "Merlin you guys a thought struck me" she said enlightenedly. "What if Umbridge killed Dumbledore with dark magic so she could take over the school?"
"That seems like a bit much Herm but it might be true." said Harry ponderously. He looked at his bloody bandaged hand. "Merlin knows she has a tendency towards extremism."
"Well what are we waiting for we should figure out if she did it" Ron announced.
"yes lets" said Hermione. "First thing tomorrow I think would be best.. She would be on high alert now because she just did it."
The boys agreed so they went to bed. but little did they know they wouldn't have time for spying tomorrow because later that night they got word that Dumbledores funeral would be then and they were all invited in accordance with his will.
