Broken Wings
Chapter 2: Bitten by a vampire.
By: Midnight Walker
Hermione woke up to the bright sunlight shining in her eyes. She unwillingly got up out of bed and walked to her adjoining bathroom to take a shower. As she stepped into the warm water, she sighed and thought about the torment she would receive once she went back to Hogwarts.
It would most likely be malfoy and his gang of worshipers that would do all the taunting. Oh how she hated him.
20 minutes later Hermione climbed out of the shower, her now black hair was dripping wet. She walked into her closet and picked out a pair of black jeans with a white flare down the pant leg, black sneakers, and a black form fitting t-shirt'.
She walked back in the bathroom to blow dry her hair. Once done, she put on her clothes and put on a layer of lip gloss. She grabbed her money out of her Hogwarts trunk and walked out of her room and onto the landing. She quietly snuck past her father's room where she could here his shuffling about. She ran across the wooden floors and bolted out the door. She walked quickly down the street until the crowds started to grow larger.
Hermione still sung the song as she approached the leaky cauldron. She walked straight through not noticing a certain figure stir and rise. She stepped out into the warm sunlight in the courtyard. As she took out her wand to begin to tap out the code into the leaky cauldron, a dark figure grabbed her about the waist and brought into the shadow of a towering apartment building. On the muggle side of the road. The dark hooded figure then proceeded to speak in a low husky voice, "The dark lord has many plans for you my dear. So we need you, in order to bring down that saint potter brat." The figure then moved from her ear to her neck, and lowered his mouth closer to her neck. Hermione realizing what he was and his intentions, tried to scream, but as he bit down her scream died in her throat and things began to get a little hazy. Then she knew no more.
Hermione awoke sometime later to a dark room. Her head was pounding, and she did not know where she was. She began to panic. She rose up out of the bed and squinted trying to make out her surroundings. She saw an oak wood dresser, and matching closet. There was a window and she could see the full moon peeking out form behind the clouds.
She heard voices drift upstairs from what appeared to be a sitting area.
"Poor girl…she doesn't deserve this. How will we break the news to her?" said a voice that sounded like molly weasly. 'Break the news to me? What are they talking about?' Hermione thought.
"I don't know molly, I don't know. All I now is that it won't go down lightly." Said Albus Dumbledore. 'What are they talking about!' Hermione thought, getting a little frustrated. "Tonks, go and see if Hermione is awake please?" Dumbledore requested. 'Oh no! She's coming up here!' Hermione quickly ran back in her room and jumped on the bed and pulled a book off her dresser that had been lying there covered in dust. She opened the book just as tonks walked in looking a little sad.
"Oh, Hermione, y-you're awake. Dumbledore would like to see you downstairs." She said a little hesitantly.
"ok." She replied. But as she walked past tonks, she smelled tonks' fear. She could also hear her heart beating rather quickly. 'Odd…' she thought.
"Ah Hermione, I see you are feeling better thankfully." He said smiling. She just nodded in response still a little freaked out with the thing with tonks. "Yes, well we have a lot to talk about." He then leaned forward slightly and stared into her eyes. "Do you remember what happened earlier today?"
"Not really...all I remember is being grabbed, a terrible pain in my neck and then darkness. Why?"
"The reason I am asking you this is, today when you were going into diagon alley you were bitten by a vampire."
