Broken Wings
Chapter 3: The breaking of a friendship
By: Midnight Walker
Hermione sat at the kitchen table in Grimauld (See A/N) Place, pushing her eggs around her plate. Dumbledore had revealed that she had indeed been bit by a vampire, yesterday afternoon. Hermione felt absolutely miserable. How would Harry and Ron react? How could she face people, her being what she was?
Soon the agonizing silence was soon shattered by Mrs. Black screaming. Only now the noise seemed so much more acute than before. Hermione sighed and went up to her room and closed the door. She sat down on her and put her head in her hands. Soon there was a knocking at her door, in a voice not her own she said, "Enter."
The old wooden door slowly creaked open to reveal her two best friends. Ron came into her room and leaned against the wall. Hermione could sense his fear, and his anger.
Harry however sat on her bed and looked her in the eye. "Hermione what happened? I mean…you know yesterday afternoon…." He said glancing at her hesitantly. Hermione then launched into the unfortunate tale of her humans', side demise. She could feel Ron's anger building, but she did not know why.
"Harry, why do you even bother?" came his cold voice. Harry looked at him curiously, before responding.
"She is our friend Ron-"but he was cut off before he could finish his sentence.
"SHE IS NOT OUR FRIEND!" he exploded, the tips of his ears glowing a violent red. "OUR FRIEND DIED WHEN THAT- THAT THING BIT HER!"
Hermione felt an anger of her own build up inside her. 'How could he betray me? His own friend!' Hermione thought. She could feel tears pricking at the corner of her eyes, but she held them in. They would not see her cry.
"Get out." She mumbled softly. They didn't seem to hear her. "Get out both of you!" she yelled. Harry, who had been sitting at the bed quietly, jumped and stared at her. "Harry, don't look at me like that because I know you will side with Ron." Ron angrily opened the door and disappeared from site on the dark landing. Harry, who looked torn between his two friends, got up and of course, followed Ron.
Hermione sat on her bed and cried for hours. Tears still leaked from her eyes as she fell into a dreamless sleep.

Hermione woke up hours later, and looked out of the window. The full moon rose high in the pitch black sky. She suddenly doubled over at a pain in her stomach, and all she could think of was to feed. She walked with slow timid steps to her closet. She picked out tight blue jeans, and a halter top. If she was going to feed, she had to look attractive. Her now lower- back length black hair was a frizzy and tangled mess. She dragged a brush that had an anti-tangle charm on it, through her knotted hair. Soon it sparkled and shined and was soft as liquid silk.
Hermione then chose a pair of ankle stiletto boots, and glanced at herself in the huge mirror that hung along the wall. She smoothed her hands down her body self-consciously. 'Well here goes nothing.' She walked to the window and pushed it open, crawled onto the ledge and jumped down. She was surprised at the soft landing. She thought as she walked down the street and soon found a victim and snuck up on him, and bit into the soft flesh of his neck. The rushed into her mouth and Hermione thought she would die of happiness. 'This might be actually fun.' She thought.

The music pumped loud in her ears as Hermione looked around for potential victims. She had gone to a club called, 'Float'. Green, red, and blue strobe lights cut through the thick smoky air. The music soon grew irresistible for Hermione. The song that was 1,2 Step by Ciara. She soon was out the dance floor, doing the 1,2 Step. Soon someone came up behind and danced with her. The song was now 'Toxic', by Britney Spears. They danced for what seemed to be hours. Soon a slow song came on Hermione turned in her dancer's arms, and saw no other than Draco Malfoy.
"Malfoy?"
