DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER. I ONLY OWN THE PLOT

"Hermione, are you ok? You look pale darling," Kurum said worriedly. He made a move towards Hermione and she jumped backwards. Holding out her wand she pointed it towards his chest. Her eyes held bloody murder but her legs were wobbly. Images flashed before her eyes. Bellatrix, her rage and the cruel laughter then the light leaving her eyes. The other men who she had killed began to flash before her eyes, their ghostly figures began to float before her eyes and Hermione gasped. No! She was in Hogwarts! This couldn't happen she was awake! Hermione thought. Her eyes widened in horror and her hand with the wand began to tremble.
"Hermione!" a voice called. And just as soon as they'd come the ghosts were gone leaving Hermione in a deserted hallway with people looking at her as though she was a freak. Startled Hermione lowered her wand, her hand going to her head. Her legs felt like jelly and she couldn't even hold her own weight. What was happening to her? This wasn't normal! Where can I find the answers? An obvious answer hit her and Hermione was a bit embarrassed she didn't think of it before. Her heart racing and head aching she made her way towards the opposite steps, holding on to the railing with a death grip.
"Granger!" Looking up she saw Lucius Malfoy looking down at her. The crowd had parted except for a few kids who were trying to see what was going on. Warning bells in her head told her that she needed to get away, now! So, for the first time in her life, Hermione listened to those warnings and she ran away from the very man she had vowed never to run from.
