Disclaimer: I am not the illustrious J.K. Rowling. If I were she, I would not be writing fan fiction. I make no money from this.
A/N: This is written for The "365 Days of Drabbles" Challenge on HPFC. This is a challenge to write a drabble or one shot a day for 365 days. Each day will have a prompt that is to be used that day. Most of these will revolve around Sevmione. If you don't like the pairing, don't read. They won't be in any particular order. The prompt for day 268: Lost.
This is also written for The Game of LIFE Challenge on HPFC. The prompt I got was "getting lost."
Lost
She was walking down the dark street. She looked around and didn't see any landmarks she recognized. She started to panic, but managed to calm herself.
It's ok, she thought, just keep going straight. You'll see something you recognize soon.
She kept walking. She reached the intersection and looked both ways before making her decision. She was soon in a place she recognized and calmed down.
The next day she was wandering through the woods. Every tree looked the same. She could not remember the direction she had come from.
She had been running from a creep that had been following her for a while. While running through the woods trying to lose him, she had gotten twisted around. She will never get out of here!
She was having a panic attack. She was seriously lost this time and couldn't get back to where she had come from!
Suddenly she heard someone calling her name and relief flooded through her.
"Hermione!"
It was distant and faint, but she heard it.
"Hermione!"
Then she heard it again, much louder and closer than before. She briefly wondered how they had gotten so close so fast, but she pushed that thought behind her as she gratefully ran toward the voice.
"Hermione!"
Finally, she jerked her head up at the sound of Harry calling her name.
"What?" she demanded, slightly irritated that she had been interrupted during the climax of her book.
"We are going to dinner. Care to join us?"
"Yeah," she answered, putting her bookmark in the book.
"Good book?" asked Harry, smiling at Hermione.
"Yes, it is. I got totally lost in it."
Harry and Ron looked at each other and grinned. It wasn't the first time and they knew it wouldn't be the last.
