Hermione thought for a moment she had been dreaming, this figure couldn't really be here. She should have realised that her and her friends and family had not been the only one hurt by the war. Well obviously she had know people had been hurt, killed even, but she hadn't thought that they would want revenge. If only she had been more thoughtful, less selfish, perhaps then she wouldn't be here just now, in front of her.
"Lavender" she said faintly.
Lavender smiled and laughed. It was different from her girly giggle from their schooldays it was cold, hard and it didn't reach her eyes.
"Surprise! It's old Lav-Lav. It's good to see you haven't forgotten me. I might have thought you had but oh well." Her voice was unchanged, she still wore a pink bow in her curly brown hair and was dressed as fashionably as ever.
"Why are you doing this?" Hermione asked just as faintly.
"Because you stole everything from me! I had a great life! I had Ron before you stole him from me just to dump him a few years later!"
"This is all over Ron! Are you really that shallow? Besides I didn't steal him from you, it was his choice. Besides you know nothing about our relationship!"
"Or lack of one" Lavender laughed again before her face grew angry and she almost seemed to snarl, "This is bigger then Ron now. Anyways it's story time. Sit down make yourself comfortable."
"I don't want to listen to you stories Lavender I want out of here', Hermione yelled banging her hand on the table.
"Hmph so rude. You never did have great manners." She gave her wand a flick and pink ribbons came flying out tying Hermione to a chair.
"Their not going to break so don't even try. Today I am going to tell you a story about a little girl."
Hermione rolled her eyes but stopped to struggling.
"This girl had everything. She was incredibly pretty if I do say so myself, she had great friends, she wasn't that smart really but no one cared. Her parents adored her. Some even said they spoiled her a little and maybe they did but they knew the little girl would do anything for her parents. She went to school and they were so proud of her. The years passed slowly and quickly all at once She even managed to snag herself a boyfriend just as hot as she was. But then things started to go downhill for the little girl. Some ugly nerdy girl took her boyfriend. The world began to be taken over by these evil people with really terrible fashion sense. The little girls school got taken over by the evil people and there was a battle. The little girl wanted to prove herself to her ex boyfriend that she was just as brave as the ugly nerdy girl he was in love with so she took park in the battle. You see she still loved him. But she was bitten by an evil werewolf. He tried to kill her but she was saved by the ugly nerdy girl. But she wasn't really saved. See now once a month during a full moon she turns into a horrible ugly beast. She went home and told her parents, thinking they would look after her and adore her like they did before." Lavender got up and wondered over to the window gazing out over the desolate countryside, "But they didn't. They kicked the little girl out her home and slammed the door behind her. The little girl sat outside the door and cried but they wouldn't let her in. So she wondered around the city forgetting already that that night was a full moon. I told you she wasn't very clever. It was so painful. It hurt so much and she didn't know what she was doing. When she woke up she was in her home again. At first the little girl was happy, thinking that her parents had let her in again. She ran downstairs but her parents were dead. Mauled to death by a wolf. The little girl had killed her own parents. She hadn't thought anything could hurt like turning into a wolf but she was wrong. So unbelievably wrong. But it wasn't all bad. She made a friend. Another wolf who helped her. She can control herself now, if the little girl kills now she to enjoys every last minute of it. But the little girl wanted revenge. Revenge against the ugly nerdy girl who ruined her life. And now I have it. I have you right where I want you. I could tell those pink ribbons to squeeze tighter and tighter till all the breath had left you. But I won't. Yet. I have a greater use for you that will cause me even more enjoyment. I'm looking forward to it."
"I'm sorry." Hermione said quietly.
"Were you just listening to anything I was saying? You're the reason my parents are dead. It's all your fault. Everything is your fault. Do you really think sorry could make up for everything I've been through?"
"No of course not, but Lavender you don't need to do this. There's other ways. You don't need to go down this path." Pleaded Hermione.
"Yes I do. Besides it's far too late for me to go back even if I wanted to. I've killed people. When I'm in control of my wolf form it's like nothing you could ever know. The power. The rush. They moment when you hold someone's life in your hands and you just rip it away. It's fun. The only problem is sometimes I get blood in my fur. Have you any idea how hard it is to get blood out? It's practically impossible."
Hermione stared at her in shock, "You are so heartless. These people meant something to someone. They had their own parents, friends and you're worrying about getting the blood out. You're sick."
"Don't make me angry Hermione. When I get angry I get violent as you can probably tell. And head doesn't want me to physically hurt you too much yet. But I can rip you apart and then use magic to put you back together and rip you apart again." Lavender snarled, looking scarily similar to the wolf inside her.
"What do you want with me?" Hermione snapped.
"Oh hermione you really are silly if you think I'm going to tell you. But know this, if you don't behave yourself I will hurt everyone you love. Including Draco Malfoy."
Hermione went red and spluttered.
"Imagine my surprise when I heard that the two sworn enemies were now anything but. Don't pretend you don't care about him. I know everything about the two of you. Not that I blame you. He's super hot."
"It's none of your business."
"Anything I chose to be interested in is my business. And therefore what every you two have going on is certainly my business. Anyway I'm bored now. Dennis!" Lavender called out and Dennis walked though the double doors, "Take Hermione back to her cell. And if you forgot to feed her or anything don't worry about it."
Dennis nodded as the pink ribbons tying Hermione vanished. He grabbed her shirt, pulling her up and pushed her back to the doors. Hermione struggled against his tight grip,
"No! Please don't send me back there. Please let me go. Lavender. Lavender!" She screamed.
Lavender watched her go, laughing.
