The Slytherin princess

Chapter 42 // he knows me, do I know him?

Hermione's POV

"you once called the nearest gutter pipe home, could it be the task of nursing me... has become wearisome for you?"

I was walking with an old man up a creaky staircase, he was seemingly trying to hear what was going on, all the while trying not to make too much noise, somehow, I don't know how, but I felt his fear while sneaking up those stairs

"oh, n- no, no my lord Voldemort, I only m-meant, perhaps if we were to do it without the boy" 

we had walked close enough to see through the small gap through the door, an ugly rat-like man... oh no, that's Pettigrew, he was talking to someone- something in an armchair 

"NO! the boy is everything" the voice was shrill, it sounded so dry and croaky- as if it had been talking for days on end 

"it cannot be done without him, and it will be done exactly as I said" 

a new person had appeared in my eye span, a man, one I haven't ever seen, he looked shaggy and ill, like he hadn't showered for months 

"I will not disappoint you my lord" the man talked, he had a Scottish accent 

"Good, first, gather our old comrades, send them a- a sign" 

I heard a hissing sound, I turned to the noise, it was a large green snake, the animal slithered into the room and went to the person- not a person, the thing in the armchair

"Nagini tells me the old muggle caretaker is standing just outside the door" 

fear turned to terror when the two people in the room turned to the old man I had been with, it wasn't my fear, it was his 

"step aside, wormtail, so I can give our guest a proper greeting" the muggle stepped backwards with his hands in the air "AVADA KEDAVRA" 

I saw the flash of green light and heard the scream of the old man before everything went back to black

"ah... Hermione Zabini, I hoped you would make an appearance" the shrill voice appeared in my head before I woke up as usual 

"who- who the hell are you?" I thought 

"ah, ah, ah Ms Zabini, I shouldn't tell you yet, but I think you already know..."

I woke up

"Hermione? Hermione get your arse out of bed!" Wren was shaking me awake, she had come over for the last month of summer holidays again and so she would be able to come with us to the quidditch world cup... 

the quidditch world cup- It's today!

When I remembered this fact I jumped out of my bed excitedly, forgetting the horrific nightmare

"what's the time?" I gushed, getting dressed 

"uh... 5:30" merlin that's early 

"early huh?... well what are we waiting for? Let's go!" I might just be the most excited out of all of us for this trip 

"wait, Hermione, you might want to go see Malfoy first" I gave her a confused expression and walked to the room opposite mine, I knocked on the door and waited for an answer 

"Draco? Draco what's wron- AH" somebody- very unexpectedly, dragged me into the room "what the hell is wrong with you?!" I shouted when Draco let me go 

"don't get mad at me, it was Blaise's idea" he then ran out of the room, locking me inside 

"DRACO WHAT THE FUCK, LET ME OUT" I screamed, banging on the door 

"Blaise is making me, sorry Mione" considering he was laughing he didn't sound very sorry 

"I'LL GET YOU FOR THIS" I slumped down against the door, trying to figure out ways to get out of this prison

They will have done what I did with Wren and Blaise, locked the room with a charmed key so I cant use alohomora... but they're way too dumb to figure out how to charm a key... maybe, just maybe

I searched for my wand; I couldn't find it

Draco took it

"F YOU DRACO" I screamed again, brainstorming new ideas when I noticed Draco's broomstick and his window 

"breaking his window might be revenge enough for him..." I smirked, walking to his window, picking up his broom, and smashing it into the glass so that it shattered, the window was big enough for me to get through. 

I laughed and mounted the broom, hovering above the ground and soaring into the sky 

"WHOO HOOO" I screamed at the top of my lungs, merlin the exhilaration of flying is still goddamn amazing 

I whizzed past window after window before stopping at the library, knocking on the glass and laughing at Draco, Blaise, and Wren's shocked faces

 I made a bit of a crude hand gesture and flew back to the ground to go into the house through the front door. 

When I entered the mansion the three traitors were huffing at the bottom of the stairs, they tried to race me

"idiots..." I mumbled pushing past them 

"you're not gonna say anything?" Blaise asked, surprised 

"oh- you want me to tell you my plans for payback? Hell no bitches, you'll find out" I gave them an evil smirk and walked up the staircase

I have no horrible plan, the payback will be the fear and anxiety their gonna get with the ideas they make up in their heads

Like I said

Idiots
