CHAPTER 3
There was a horrible screech as the car ran right into Rose.
"No! Rose!" Hermione cried as she sank to the ground and broke into sobs. Harry leaned down cried with Hermione. They cried and cried for the loss of their daughter. They had finally decided to get up and go home, when Harry noticed something.
"Hey! What's that?" Harry asked as he pointed to an ominous blue glow coming from under the car.
Hermione looked up. "What?
"That blue light!" Harry said as he started to run over to the car. "Wingardium Leviosa!" he cried as the car lifted up. Under the car Rose was laying on the ground, unconscious, with the blue glow around her. "Hermione! Come look at this!" Harry called over his shoulder.
Hermione ran over to Harry. "It looks as if it protected her!"
"Maybe she casted Protego," Harry suggested.
"No, she doesn't know how! She couldn't of cast it!" Hermione mused.
"Well then who did?" Harry asked, confused.
"I'm not sure...we should get Rose up though." Hermione said, getting worried.
"Ok. Ennervate." Harry said to wake up Rose. Rose got up with a gasp.
"Mom! Dad! What happened? Why am I here? What is this light? What's going on?" Rose asked, frantic. Hermione and Harry silenced her with a hug.
"Oh, Rose! Thank Merlin you're alright!" Hermione cried.
"Wh...Why wouldn't I be alright?" Rose asked, concerned.
"Rose do you not remember?" Harry questioned.
Rose seemed confused. "Remember what?"
"The crash…" Hermione said.
"WHAT?! What crash? All I remember is waking up this morning and going downstairs to eat my blueberry pancakes. Why am I out here in the middle of the road, and what happened? Why are you all so concerned?" Rose asked.
"Well, Rose, we told you that we were going to take you to Uncle Neville and Aunt Luna's house. You started to say that you didn't want to go and then you ran out of the house into the stree-" Harry started to explain.
"I did WHAT?!" Rose exclaimed, but Hermione silenced her again.
"Anyway, you ran out into the street. You didn't see the car coming and it ran over you. We thought you were dead! But you weren't, you we enclosed in a ball of blue light that seemed to protect you." Harry solemnly said.
"Oh! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to! I just got so mad an..and I just didn't know what to do and I jus-" Rose started to apologize but got cut off by Hermione.
"Shh it's ok, you don't need to apologize. We know you didn't mean to get hurt," Hermione said soothingly. Rose gave a small grin in response.
"Hey! That reminds me," Harry suddenly said.
"What? Did something happen?" Hermione asked.
"No, we never checked who was in the car that hit Rose!" Harry exclaimed.
"Oh! Here, how about you go over and see who is in there and I will take Rose back to the house and get her something to eat." Hermione said.
Harry thought for a moment. "Ok, but watch out the window in case something happens and I need your help." Hermione nodded and gave Harry a quick kiss before leading Rose back into the house. Harry slowly made his way over to the car. Oh no! What if I accidentally killed them when I moved the car away! Harry thought. He picked up his pace to a run as he got more and more worried. As he neared the car he realized that it was empty. He ran a quick scan with his wand and could tell that someone had apparated away from the car. Harry stood there for a while before returning back to his house. He opened the front door only to see Hermione bound to a chair, screaming behind her gag desperately trying to get out. He ran over to Hermione and was about to untie her when he heard a sharp voice.
"Stop right there!" the voice said. Harry spun around right into the face of none other but Ronald Weasley.
