This one is a little shorter , sorry. I lost the original and had to re-write the entire thing. Hope you enjoy the story so far!


I walk down the hallway feeling angry,because I now have to take private potions lessons with Snape every night. I walk down a ridiculous amount of stairs and make my way into the potions classroom.

" , glad you could join us." Snape says. I notice three others in the room. Most of who are younger than I am. I don't even know who they are, but i'm sure that I have seen them around the castle a few times. Even they must know what has been going on because when I make eye contact with one of them he looks at me terrified and his friend whispers something in his ear to which her agrees with.

"Please brew the potion on page Two-hundred and nintey six." He tells me in a low voice. I turn around and pick a table then set out my ingridients and begin to brew the potion. "Veritaserm- Forces the drinker to tell the truth" I whisper under my breath I roll my eyes... How appropriate. I begin to brew the potion as Snape hovers over me. "You may go." He says "I will take care of it until you return tomorrow."

I collect my things and leave before he can say anything else to me. I head back up to my McGonagalls office and she is already sitting in her desk when I return. "Hello, , would you care to join me for evening tea?"

"Yeah, sure I will." I reply taking a seat across from here. I sigh heavily. I reluctantly bring the cup of tea to my lips and take a sip.

"Hermione, I'm worried about you. You don't seem well." McGonagall states.

I look around the office trying to avoid any further verbal conversation. When I look back there are tears in my eyes. McGongall comes over to me and puts a hand on my sholder. "Whats wrong Hermione?" She asks sympatheticly. "He's gone" I say softly. "We loved each other..." I close my eyes.

"It's going to be alright."

"It'll never be alright. He's gone, dead and I'll never see him again..." I state getting up table and walking down to the room I was shown to earlier. I'm alone for about two seconds before my proffesor comes walking in.

"Hermione, you have to listen to me. I know you loved him, I really did. But although it may take time you have to accept it."

I turn my head to face her. "It's not all about the fact that he's dead. It's also the fact that even though everybody in the whole school knows that both Ron and Neville are my friends somehow i'm the one who murdered the both of them! It doesn't make any sense who would do something like this?"

She sighs. " please calm down."

"I...I... I can't! I hate this! Don't you understand! I didn't do anything and I surely didn't kill my FRIENDS" I yell. I Hear a knock a on the office door. The both of us walk out of the room.

"Well, look who It is , we regret to inform you that, we have not found any other suspects since this morning."

It's Snape, "That means what exactly?" I ask

Snape shakes his head. "I'm sorry , If we do not find another suspect I'm afraid that you will be held accountable, furthermore from now on you must have an escort wherever you go."

"Severus, please. has certainly had enough situations to deal with today. I suggest that you leave her be." Mcgonagall says strictly. With that she shuts the door and turns to me.

She looks at me sadly. " " She sighs. "Look, Snape may be unhappy with you as of today, you must keep to yourself understand. When you go to potions lessons. Listen, do not do anything that would cause him to be unhappy with you. Go in take your lesson and wait until he tells you that you are free to go, failure to comply may land you inbetween a rock and a hard place. Now, go get some rest. The days events have difficult on you."

By the end of her speech I'm in tears. McGonagall looks at my sympathetically. "Look, Hermione, I know what it's like to lose friends."

I cough a few times, trying to choke back tears. I wipe my eyes. "I usually don't allow myself to be like this, but I miss them, more than anything, and what if more of them die? I don't even want to think about the fact I could lose more of them. Why do I need and escort?"

"Hermione, I really have no idea, It's late. I'll find out for you in the morning."

"That's great thank you." I solemly.

McGonagall look back at me"You must not give him any reason to accuse you." she tells me.

I give her a confused look. "I haven't, but I'm sure he's told the entire school, because even Malfoy thinks I've just murdered two people!" I say frustrated.

She takes my hand and guides me back to my room. "Please get some rest , we will dicuss this matter in the morning, alright?"

I nod, because I don't feel that I can talk without crying. I lie down in my new bedroom and McGonagall leaves closing the door behind her, I hear it lock. But yet I don't sleep.

12:00 AM

It seems like I have just layed here awake for hours.

I wake up and see him dead, Screams fill my ears. Ear piercing screams, but I can't get away from them. Another scream I see a flash of black and then somebody lying on the floor, dead and still. Not moving. I close my eyes hoping the nightmare is over. But it is not, I see another body on the ground and I scream. What is happening why are all these people dying. Who could be targeting them. I thought that the castle was safe, I thought that hogwarts was one of the safest places to be. Then I see him lying on the floor dead amoung the others. Harry, is dead... we lost. Then my eyes go to Ginny, Luna, Fred and George and all of my other friends. All the people that I recognize from school. Lying dead on the floor of the great hall. I scream as somebody grabs my sholders.

"Hermione!" They yell. "Hermione, wake up!" "Hermione, we have to move you, now!"
I sit up and blink fast. "Why?" I ask sleepy. "We believe that their has been a breech in security."
"What about the rest of my friends!" I ask concerned.
"We will make sure they are safe, until them come along with me please." McGonagall replies.
"Where are you taking me?" I ask
"That is classified, but I can assure you its perfectly safe."


Hope it wasn't too short! Next Chapter will be up sometime during next week! Thanks
