Erase and Rewrite (Dramione)

Combat and Recall

There are a million things they should have planned better.
A million things to take into consideration before rushing head first to Hogwarts.

And all those things run through her head when she rushes along the passage.

How are they going to explain what's going on?
How is anyone going to believe that the boys following her are on their side?

But there's no time!
She just has to make it up as she goes.
They need to believe her!

Suddenly she's in a dim lit room.
And whatever she expected,
was not this!

There's a lot of people,
dozens of eyes looking at them.
Everyone staring,
and in a split second all the wands are pointed at them.

"Take it easy." Blaise has lifted his hands up as a sign of surrender.

Draco and Theo follow his example.

"Hermione?"

A figure steps forward.

His face is bruised,
and she needs to think for a moment to find a name for him.

It's Neville.
And Neville has been her friend.
She thinks...

"Neville! Where are Harry and Ron? I need to speak to them! It's urgent!"

Everyone stays silent,
still staring at her,
still aiming at them.

"Didn't you hear, what she said? Potter, Weasley, I-M-P-O-R-T-A-N-T!" Theo asks loudly.

She turns to tell Theo he's not making this any easier.
But before she gets to do that she's yanked away from them,
leaving the Slytherin boys to stand back to back, hands up.

And all the room staring at them with hostile looks,
ready to attack.

"Who are you?" A boy she doesn't have a name for asks angrily.

"Wait! They're with me!" She tries to struggle free, but Neville doesn't let go.

Blaise rolls his eyes visibly and Theo snorts, "What part of important don't you understand?"

"Hermione...are you okay? What did they do to you?" Neville asks looking concerned

"I... what? Nothing!" Finally, she manages to step further from him, "I told you already, they're with me! And we have important information to tell Harry! So, can you please tell us where he is?"

Even before she can finish the sentence she knows he doesn't believe a word she's saying.
She knows they are not going to tell her anything.
They do not trust her.
And why would they?

He seems to realize that too, "Listen, Longbottom."

"It's fucking Malfoy!" One of the boys shouts out, the second he opens his mouth.

And all the hell breaks loose.
She whips around just in time to cast a shield to the boys,
so the hexes thrown at them get blocked.

"Wait, a minute! I can explain!" She tries to shout above the noise
but no one seems to be listening.

"Shit." She ducks a jinx and casts another protective spell to Draco's direction.

They're never going to walk out of here unharmed!
This was the worst idea ever.

"Don't you people ever listen?" Blaise tries to ask and block the spells at the same time.

What was she thinking?
That they would just accept her words!?
On the other hand she was not prepared to meet this much people!
