Chapter 2 Demon's Forgiveness For What?
Hermione woke up to the sound of her alarm sound which she hit the snooze button, as she tried to get out of bed, she fell out instead cause Harry appeared above her, shouting, "Morning, Hermione! Up, up, up! The school reunion is today!"
"You should be glad you're dead, Harry," Hermione said, getting up. "Cause I'd kill you right now!"
Harry just gave a cat-like smile, Hermione walked to her dresser, grabbing her shirt and sleeve. She looked into the mirror, on her upper right arm was a dark blurry mark, also on her right arm was a light green ribbon tied there. Gently putting her hand on the ribbon, she fell to her knees.
The mark was a disease called Geostigma; it had something to do with certain cells within her body. She put on her shirt, strapped her sleeve to her shirt, and strapped her holster to her belt. Opening a jewelry box on her dresser, she pulled two sliver necklaces, the rest of the stuff were colored orbs. Hermione remembered when Harry was still alive; he took her to a village of ninja who were interested in those orbs, called materia.
She walked to a large crest and opened it, what Hermione pulled was a sliver sword with rubies on the handle. It was the sword of Gryffindor that Harry got in their second year. She grabbed one more thing and walked downstairs. Lupin was drinking some coffee, while Lily was eating breakfast.
She placed a sliver pocket watch on her desk; she made herself some coffee and walked to Lupin and Lily, sitting down.
Lupin was reading a book that caught Hermione's attention; it was a book on the Dark Knight that saved the human over two thousand years from everlasting darkness. The Dark Knight was a demon, he married a human and she gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. The Knight made an amulet for both of his children.
Hermione looked at the amulets she had, no one, not even her friends, knew she was the half-demon daughter of Sparda, the Dark Knight. Her twin brother, Sirius, was gone; he disappeared when they were younger.
'He probably knows, but why interested in my family?' she thought.
"Hermione, it's almost time to go," Lily said. "But I need something from my room, first."
Sighing, Hermione got up and walked with Lily to her room, Lupin stood up and stood next to her desk. He noticed the sliver pocket watch, the symbol of a dragon intertwined within a hexagon was on the cover, it was the symbol of state military Hermione joined as a state alchemist. The Demonic Blood Alchemist, which was her state name.
He opened the watch, while looking at it; Lupin noticed something inside of the cover, something was carved into it. It read:
Never Forget
August 1st, 1998
Just reading that, Lupin got confused, why would Hermione not want to forget the day Harry died? Had she not completely moved on? He closed the watch, and put it back on the desk. Hermione and Lily came down, Lupin just smiled. Hermione grabbed the pocket watch, and put it in her pocket.
They walked out to Hermione's car and drove to the train station. They stepped onto platforms 9 and 10, making sure no one was looking and checking her watch, Hermione ran between the platform and get on Platform 9 3/4. She waited for Lupin and Lily as they came through the platform.
After they got seats on the train and went to Hogwarts, Hermione looked out the window. Lupin just smiled as he and Lily ate sweet they got, Hermione smiled as she heard a familiar voice entered the compartment.
"Well, The Dark Slayer, we meet again," it said. In the doorway was a man with pulled back blond hair and light gray eyes, Draco Malfoy.
Hermione grabbed the Gunner and pointed at Malfoy. "Careful, Malfoy, I'll be going after you someday."
Malfoy just sighed and walked away; Hermione put the Gunner away and continued to look the window. Harry appeared in front of her, smiling, it was a silent ride to the school. When they got to the school, Hermione walked toward Hagrid's hut and the Forbidden Forest. But she felt she was somewhere else.
She looked around, she was standing in an endless field of white and yellow lilies, Hermione wasn't sure why, but she felt something.
"You came…" a familiar voice said, causing Hermione to turn her head to look over her shoulder. "Even though you're about to break…. That's a good sign…."
He placed a hand on her only sleeve, and continued, "So…. Why did you come…?"
"I want…. To be forgiven… more than anything…." Hermione said, remembering Harry's death.
"By who?" Whoever it is, he seemed curious. Hermione looked around completely to say who, but she was back on the grounds. She sighed, and walked into the castle. As she entered, Lupin and Lily walked up to her.
They sat at the Gryffindor table, as they ate, Hermione thought what she said to whoever she was.
'I want forgiveness… but for what?' she thought.
R&R, please!
