A Chat With Myself
Chapter 2
Recap On Last Chapter:
She had been hugging herself all this time, but extended her left arm. Voldemort put his wand on it and Hermione saw the Dark Mark being drawn on her. This was not only painful, but tiring. When he was done Voldemort smiled and disappeared with a soft 'pop'. Draco, who had bee holding her all this time, helped her down to her bed and left her there. This was all she saw before she saw everything go black. But before she had fainted she had heard a male scream her name,
"HERMIONE!"
--
Hermione woke up to the sound of birds ringing in her ears. She opened her eyes only to find that she was not on her bed. She looked around she saw pictures of Hermione, Ron, and Harry in a nightstand. She saw picture in the wall with Ginny and Ron.
'Oh, I get it...I'm in the Weasley's recidence' She thought after a second or two. She suddenly remembered what happened last night. She shuffled in the sheets trying to get a look at her left arm. Once she got her left arm in her right hand she remembered she had a sweater and thanked every god she knew for choosing to sleep in a sweater in summer. Of course this was crazy but still saved her...unless they had looked at her arm. Hermione shook the thought away as she pulled the sleeve up and looked at the Dark Mark on her arm. She shuddered. She pulled the sleeve down and fell back to the bad she was sleeping on. She still couldn't believe what she had done.
Tears started to run down her face yet again. But had she really had an option? What would Harry have done? 'Bloody hell Hermione! You know he would've died instead of turning to the Dark Side!' She mentally cursed herself for doing such thing. Who would've thought that the brightest witch in her class would've turned to the Dark Side?
She turned to her side and looked outside the window. When she turned to her side, she heard people outside.
"Mum, do you think she'll be fine?" asked Ginny. Hermione knew there was more people outside that door frame.
"Yes Ginny. I am more then sure she will be strong enough to get through this" said Lupin
"I am going to the kitchen with Ron, Harry, and the twins" she said and headed out
"Well, we should go Lupin" Mrs. Weasley said after Ginny left, but she entered the room and left something on the nightstand
When she left the room, Hermione turned around to find a note on the nightstand. She stretched her arm to take it and she read it.
Dear Hermione,
When you wake up, dear, please come down to the kitchen to eat some breakfast. If you would like to take a shower, please go ahead. I left your clothes in a chair. I took everything in your room, and put it in your trunk. We will talk about this later. Take a shower and feel welcome to eat breakfast.
Love,
Molly Weasley
Hermione smiled at the letter and sat up to see a chair in front of the bed, with clothes that she could wear. She tried to get out of the bed, but the pain in her leg almost made her fall. She looked at her leg. She had bandages all over it. She tried again this time holding on to the bed post.
She walked over to the chair, limping in the process. She saw the clothes that Mrs. Weasley got for her. Somehow, Mrs. Weasley always treated Hermione like a second daughter.So she had picked nice clothes for her. She had picked a pink tank top, and pink and white shorts. She also put her favorite pink flip flops in the match. She also put in a small bag bandages so that she could wrap around her leg. Thankfully she put one too many in there, so Hermione was going to put the extra one around her arm.
She grabbed the clothes in her arms and got out of the room. Peeking her head out so nobody saw her, she headed for the bathroom. She took a quick bubble bath, thinking of how she was going to answer all of the questions that were going to be asked. She finished quickly, she got off and dried herself and her hair.
She put on her clothes. She remembered that she hadn't taken the bandages off her leg. She did this carefully with her hand, of course she could have used magic but she didn't quite trust herself with magic right now...plus she didn't have her wand. She finished unwrapping her lag, and gasped. It had a deep cut about five inches long. She shuddered as blood started to drip again. She wrapped it and reached out once again for the bag. She wrapped the other bandage over the Dark Mark. When she finished and put everything in the bag, she looked herself in the mirror. 'Perfect! You would never ever suspect that this witch is a...' She didn't even want to finish the thought. She went back to the room...limping. She put the bag in the bed.
"Great! Now I have to go down and be questioned as if I were an illegal animagus" she said sarcastically
She went down the stairs, limping...did I mention she was limping? Anyways she went down, almost falling off in the process, and she got to the kitchen. She was expecting all eyes to her. But thankfully they weren't even in the room. They were probably outside playing Quidditch. She went inside the kitchen as she sat down. She didn't really want to eat.
"Hello, Hermione!" said Mrs. Weasley hugging her
"Oh! Hello Mrs. Weasley! You scared me!" she said hugging Mrs. Weasley back.
"I think you saw the note that I left in the nightstand. Do you want to eat something?" she asked Hermione
"Yes please" she lied but oh well, food wasn't going to hurt her
"Hermione," she said, "Would you want to tell me what happened last night meanwhile the boys, Ginny, and Arthur are outside?"
Hermione didn't look at her. What was she going to tell her? But if she didn't tell she was going to suspect something...right? Hermione shook the thougts to the back of her head, and build up the courage to tell Mrs. Weasley and to look at her in hte eye. 'If I am going to be a Death Eater...I have to learn hoe to lie'
"Yes, Mrs. Weasley" she finally said her eyes tearing up at the thoughts of her mom and dad dying.
"Ok dear, go ahead" she said and looking at Hermione with pity
Hermione started to tell her the story since the part that she and her family were going to go out for dinner. But then, when she was changing from her pajamas, she heard a scream. She peeked outside and saw Voldemort himself and Draco Malfoy. She kept looking and saw how Volemort kill her dad with a simple 'Avada Kedavra'. She cried silently as she told the story and Mrs. Weasley trying to comfort her. She kept going about how Malfoy was about to kill her mum, but she casted an 'Expelliarmus' so he didn't. But she realized how she gave her hiding spot out. She ran to her room but had fell onto some piece of wood and that's how she got the cut on her leg. She looked back and saw Draco kill her mum. She got up and ran as fast as she could to her room upstairs, and locked herself in the closet. And how they looked and found her. She obviously didn't tell her how she came to the Dark Side. But she did tell her how Voldemort he said he felt nice that day. At this comment Mrs. Weasley looked at her suspiciously, but shrugged it out.
When she finished Mrs. Weasley had been hugging her, and told her to go outside with the others. Hermione told her she was going to go, but instead she went somewhere else. She went to a small place that was still in the bounds of the burrow, but she certainly knew they wouldn't find her...not here.
"Hey" someone said
'So much for not finding me' she thought to herself.
"Hey, back to you" she said looking next to her and finding Harry next to her.
"I guess you have officially found my secret hiding spot" he said looking around
"Your hiding spot?" she asked looking at him, "Don't you mean, you found my hiding spot?"
"Well...since I have been coming here longer, I think I have the right to call it My Hiding Spot, don't you think so?" he asked still not looking at her
"You gave it a name?" he nodded, "Well, maybe you are right...but since sharing is caring-"
"It is our official Hiding Spot?" he finished looking at her
She blushed furiously, when his eyes met hers. She didn't know why her face was going so hot...and so fast.
"Yeah," she trailed off, "Hey was it you that screamed my name before I fainted?"
"Err...yeah" he said looking away from her and outting his arms around his legs
But instead of saying something back, she hugged him. She hugged him with all her might.
'Oh boy, even if she is actually squishing me to death, she is so warm' He stopped in his thoughts but kept hugging the girl.
"Err...'Mione? You are...umm..squishing the air outta me" he said patting her in the back
"Sorry" she smiled
"S'okay" he looked at her
She looked at him.
"So...what happened to you last night?" he asked, with concern filling every tiny bit of his piercing green stare
She told him the same story she told Mrs. Weasley. His eyes widened when he heard how she had to watch her parents death, and how Voldemort cursed her.
"But it was so painful, Harry" she said as tears started to fill her eyes "I now understand your painwhen you talk about your parents"
Tears now streaming her face. Her eyes filled with fury, anger, hurt, innocence. Everything she could possibly be feeling, it was painted in her brown eyes, with golden flares. He went over to her, and lightly wrapped his bare strong arms around her soft ones.
She was not only crying because of her parents. She was crying about how she had betrayed the Magic World. Here, crying into his arms and chest, everything felt worst. It felt like everything she would have done to save him before...it didn't matter anymore.
"Shh...Everything's gonna be alright" he whispered softly into her ear, giving her the chills in the process
"Harry..." she said softly into his chest
"Yes?"
"Why?"
"Huh?"
"Why?"
"What do you mean?"
"Why?"
"What?"
"Bloody hell, Harry" she said pulling away from him
"Well, what do you want me to say?" he asked confused at whatever she was talking about
"Sorry"
"What's wrong 'Mione?"
"Harry?"
"Let's not start this again" he said jokingly as she giggled
"We should get going before anyone sends a search party for us" she said trying to get up
Harry got up pretty fast...but oh poor Hermione. She was strugglingto get up. She was doing this kind of doggie paddle in the grass. Harry was trying to cover a laugh by 'coughing'. This led Hermione to give up and trying a new method...sliding. At this Harry just couldn't help it anymore and cracked up, which led him to falling to the floor next to her. Hermione felt tears stinging in her eyes.
Harry abruptly stopped laughing, and went over to her. Her tears were all over her face as she looked down to cover them. He cupped her cheek and dried the tears off with his thumb. He hugged her and buried her face into his chest.
"I'm so very sorry, 'Mione. I-I-I didn't mean to make you cry-" he said hopelessly getting cut off
She looked up at him and put a finger over his mouth. He shivered at her touch, her touch was so warm. Her touch was soft...'Oh for Merlin's Beard she is hot!!' his mind screamed at him. His eyes widened at the thought. When he came back to his senses he noticed Hermione laughing at him. He looked around confused at whatever she was laughing about. When she pulled her finger away he noticed what she was laughing about. They looked so much like a couple. He had his hands on her face and she had her hand on his hair. The y slowly pulled away. Hermione was now trying to get up, but his time Hary helped her.
They were walking back to the burrow and talking about random stuff, like cheese.
"HARRY!" Hermione and Harry looked around for the person who screamed his name.
When they turned around they found Ron, Ginny, Fred and George on their brooms. They flied near them.
"Do you want to play Harry?" Ginny asked batting her eyes in his direction
"Sur-" he started but then looked at the girl next to him
"Go ahead Harry" Hermione said with a smile
When Harry summoned his broom and flied away with the others, she sat down in the grass looking at Harry.
'Oh my! He is so hot!'
'Wait...no he is not! He is Ginny's boyfriend and not to mention your best friend'
'Well so what! I like him'
'Do not go there!'
'Oh yes I will!'
Way too busy with her 'internal fight', she didn't notice the people screaming her name.
"Hermione!" screamed George
"Hermione! Watch out!"
"BLOODY HELL HERMIONE! TURN AROUND!" screamed and angry Ron
But when Hermione looked at him, she noticed the big red bludger coming her way. She looked around once more, she didn't have her wand. So she had no other choice then to duck and cover, before the infernal bludger hit her face. So she did. She ducked and covered fast enough. As she sat back up she saw something that made her choke on her saliva. There wasHarry on Ginny's broom. No, this wasn't it they were having a nice ol' heated up make out session...ON A BROOM! Hermione had no idea why this had affected her. She couldn't take a deep breath and calm down like she had wanted...she just couldn't. She was choking on her siliva, now that's weird.
Ron, Fred, and George came down as fast as they could when they noticed her choking scene. Ron patted her in the back as Fred, or George accio-ed a glass of water so she could drink. But she felt her eyes stinging when Harry and Ginny came down. Had she imagined this? Had she seen them kiss? If it wasn't her imagination, then how the bloody hell did they get to kiss...on a broom?! Hermione felt salty tears come down as she drank the water.
She tried her best to stand up and leave, but her bloody leg (literally) didn't bloody let her. She felt an arm help her up. She didn't know who it was, but took it and got up and left.
She power walked as fast as her leg permitted her to the burrow. When she finally got there she ignored the fact that Mr. and Mrs. Weasley followed her to Ginny's room. When she got there, she grabbed her wand and locked the door.
"Hermione, dear open up" she heard Mr. Weasley talk
Hermione knew that they could open the door with a single spell. For some reason they hadn't opened it yet. Why had she broke down when she saw Harry and Ginny kiss? Why did she feel so depressed all of the sudden? These questions were rushing through her mind, but yet she could not answer them.
'That is it! I'm going to tell you what you already know! You like Harry Potter!'
'No she doesn't she is just sad that he didn't tell her that he got with Ginny!'
'You are so dumb! She already knew that...in fact everyone did!'
'Well yeah, you have a point there but-'
'But nothing! She likes the guy! Can't we just get over this and find a way so we could make Ginny and Harry break up?'
'(scoff) You can't, and won't do that! Ginny is our friend! Would you really do that to her?!'
'If I like the guy then yes-'
"Be quiet" Hermione quietly sobbed out the words
She hated the fact that she felt her heart sink when she saw them kiss.
'You like him'
"No I don't"
'You do'
"Can't you just let me think?!" she screamed
'Well...duh you are thinking! Look it's time for us to have a chat...I somehow made your brain be quiet for a second...so here is the truth. You. Like. Harry'
"How would you know?"
'You are actually asking me this? I am your heart? Duh?'
"You don't know anything! He is just my friend"
'Ah, that is what you think...which is not what we are doing here. See, listen to me...listen to your heart'
"Oh God...I can't believe I'm about to talk to myself! Ok...fine go ahead"
'Well, see. When you look at him you blush, when he touches you you blush...everything he does or says to you you blush! Isn't that proving enough?'
"So are you saying that...that...I like him?" she asked herself as she sat up on the bed
'No shit, Sherlock! Duh you like him! I mean it's not a crush...you love the guy'
"Ok...I could maybe understand that I like him...But love him? Maybe that's just too much"
'No it's not'
"Is too"
'Is not'
"Is too"
'Is NOT!'
"Is TOO!"
'Nah-uh'
"Uh-huh"
'Nah-uh'
"Uh-huh"
'Oh be quiet! Just admit it! Just spell it out...or even write it down! But just admit it!'
"Ok...fine, fine." she sighed and crossed her legs, "I love-"
"Hey Hermione!" said Ginny
"Oh great...just the person I've wanted to see" said Hermione in a sarcastic mumble
"Excuse me?"
