Chapter 24: Having someone
"Mione dear…what are you planning to wear to your dance?" Mrs. Granger asked, just out her door, bringing along a basket filled with clothes as she came in her room
"How did you know about our dance?" Hermione asked as she sat on the end side of her bed, helping her mother with the clothes
"James told me, we had a little chat…" Mrs. Granger added slowly folding her clothes
"Really? What else did he tell you?"
"Everything…" Mrs. Granger said sitting next to her on the bed
Hermione was suddenly silent, wanting to hear more of what Harry had been saying to her, did he mention every little detail? She though to herself in her head
"I think James has a point dear…" Mrs. Granger added
"About what?"
"About you just staying here while they find a way to defeat Voldemort…" Mrs. Granger said trying to hold her hand but she resisted
"Do you all think I can't take care of myself? Mum the only reason why am going to fight is because I want to protect the people I care about too…" Hermione said raising her voice a bit
"I know but were all doing this for your own good…try to see it in our point of view…there are other Wizards and Witches who are willing to fight with Dumbledore…" Mrs. Granger added taking the basket as she headed out the door
"You might not see our way…but someday you'll see it our way…" Mrs. Granger added as she closed the door
Everyone was forcing her to back down, she didn't know what to do anymore, those other Wizards and Witches are no other then her friends, and she didn't want to risk losing them just like that
She went to Harry's room without knocking, shutting it tight behind her "Mione? What…" Harry tried to ask in panic as she entered
"Okay Harry…What are you trying to prove?" she asked, drawing near him who was half naked as he stood up just next to her
"Am not trying to prove anything Mione…" he tried to explain
"Don't try to lie to me!" she added pushing him back into the bed
"Mione…am sorry…I only wanted to make sure you were safe…"
"Safe? You want to make sure am safe? How about Ron, Luna and everyone else who's fighting in the war? What about them?" she asked sucking in her tears
"Mione, please…"
"You know what? This world is filled with a lot of shit!" she said, turning around, opening the door, slamming it shut behind her
Ginny was in her room trying different outfits for the dance, since she didn't have budget for a new dress, she's been fitting different dresses but still found not one suitable for the occasion
She's wore every dress for each dance they held, and it was getting boring to look at, she sat down on her bed throwing another dress into the floor
The floor was filled with all her dress she had fitted, great! Not one thing to wear! She sighed to herself
What am I to do? She asked herself "Having a fashion dilemma huh?" Molly asked seeing all her dresses on the floor
"Tell me about it…" Ginny said picking her dress up from the floor
"Come with me Ginny…" Molly said pulling her with her, as Molly led Ginny into her parent's room, Ginny watched as her mother looked for something in her closet
"Here you are Ginny dear…" Molly said handing her a green silk dress
"Wow, it's beautiful…" Ginny said taking the dress and started feeling the silk, pressing the dress on her chest as she looked at herself in the mirror
"I knew you'd like it…" Molly said hugging her
"Thanks…I can't wait to try it on…" Ginny said running, excitedly into her room
Mean While at Malfoy's Manor
When Draco arrived back at the manor, landing just next to the front door, when Lucius came bursting out of the door, heading towards him
"Where have you been boy?" he asked starring at him coldly
"Out…" he simply replied, passing through him, bringing his broom with him
When Lucius grabbed hold of him, "Where's your respect boy?" he asked hissing at him
"Respect? The only respect I know is towards my parents, you know my mother and father…" he said looking at him wisely, "But then I don't really have a father…" he added
That made Lucuis mad, he hit Draco right then and there, making him fall hard into the ground, "Stop it! Lucius please! Have mercy on the boy!" Narcissa said running towards Draco
"He needs to learn when to keep his mouth shut and how to show respect towards his own father…" Lucuis said as he started to walk away
"Father? Tell me when you start being one!" Draco yelled at him, standing up, his lip was bleeding, Narcissa stood by him, as Lucuis continued to walk away
Narcissa brought Draco into the manor, whipping his lip with a white cloth, dipped in ice cold water, which hurt his jaw when she placed it
"Draco where have you really been?" Narcissa asked looking at him with her eyes filled with fear towards Lucuis
"I had to see someone…" Draco replied back looking at back at her, unlike his father, he had respect towards his mother, and she was the only one he could really talk to in the manor and all his life, she was the only one who acted like a real parent
"Try avoiding getting beat up by your father, no matter what happens his still your father, like it or not…" she added holding his arm
"I'll try…" he replied giving her a hug, he was just glad to have someone care for him in the manor, at least he knew he wasn't alone in the world
How sad and unfair the world is...Thanks for the reviews!keep em coming!
