~Chapter 7~
Hermione felt like her legs couldn't move. Her arms were shaky and her heart was beating furiously. She had to prevent her marriage with - Hermione shuddered - Malfoy. She stepped in front of the Headmistress room. "Button-Dip." The gargoyle snarled and hopped off. And she's going to prevent her marriage today.
"PROFESSOR MCGONAGALL!" Hermione cried.
Professor McGonagall jumped up from her seat. "H-Hermione? What are you-"
"Why didn't you tell me?" Hermione said as a tear began to form in her eye. The Headmistress sighed heavily and returned to her work. "I know you wouldn't receive the news well, seeing that you dislike Draco Malfoy." The professor filed the last document and gave Hermione an unreadable expression.
"You have no choice, Hermione." She sighed. "Otherwise-"
"Hogwarts would close down, yeah I know." Hermione growled. "But can't you at least change the person I'm marrying?"
The headmistress shook her head. Hermione last hope faded. She was desperate.
"Well can't you-"
"No."
"Or maybe-"
"No!"
"But-"
"NO!"
Hermione bit her tongue to stop talking. Professor McGonagall's face now displayed anger. "Hermione there is no way for us to change this." She stood up. "No matter how much you dislike this, you cannot avoid it." She looked at Hermione in the eye.
"And you must live with it."
Hermione clenched her teeth. She couldn't live like this. Having to marry that ferret? She'd rather have a tea party with Voldemort!
The Headmistress pointed Hermione to the exit. "Thank you. You may leave now." Hermione looked up at her. "But Professor! Please!" Professor McGonagall glared at Hermione. "Go." Hermione nodded hastily and left.
A.N./ Sorry It's so short guys! Apparently my friend, xXMystical, just wanted to include Professor McGonagall just raging at poor Hermione.
