Hermione's POV
*warning* kinda sad
"I can destroy it, once and for all. But only if you can tell me where he hid it, you do know where he hid it. Don't you, Helena? You just have to tell me... please" he do be desperate doe
"strange... you remind me of him a bit. It's here, in the castle, in the place where everything is hidden. If you have to ask you will never know, if you know, you need only ask"
"thankyou"
"so what's going on?" Draco asked, we were hiding behind a pillar, about to form a plan
"Potter is on his way to the room of requirement, we need to go there after we've got them"
"right... okay, I'll distract filch, you sneak past him and unlock the door, you ready?" I nodded "go"
Draco ran right up to filch and started rambling about random things, I snuck past them
"you guys okay?" I whispered to them, only Daphne and Theo looked happy to see me "oh come on guys, I'm saving your asses, even a small bit of appreciation would be nice. God... Alohomora" The doors banged open when they started rushing out. Draco apparated next to me and grabbed Theo "come on"
As we ran through the halls I heard bangs and screams
They're in
Shit
*
I heard Potter moving things a few meters away
"I think he's over there" I whispered, pointing in the other direction, I went in his direction "Potter, come here" I beckoned him over when I caught his attention
"Why are you here?"
"None of your business, you're looking for a blue and silver tiara, with a raven on it?"
"yes- wait, have you seen it?!"
I nodded and pointed down the aisle "it's on the head of that warlock statue, I saw it last year" something dawned on him "what's wrong?"
"it's just I remember- never mind"
"Okay then..." I heard Draco and Theo "I gotta go, I was never here, okay?"
he nodded absentmindedly and started off down the small free space to walk on
I turned a corner and found them both
"where did you go?" Theo asked
"where did you go, I went the right way" I should be crowned queen of manipulation and gaslighting with that tiara
"no, you didn't"
"yes I did"
"no, you didn't"
"yes I did"
"no, you didn't"
"no, I didn't"
"yes you did"
"exactly, I did, now let's go"
"did you just- Merlin, how can you stand her?"
Draco shrugged "I don't remember right now"
I turned around, pulling my wand out of my sleeve
"well, well, what brings you here Potter?" Draco lead the three of us
"I could ask you the same"
"you have something of mine, I'd like it back"
"what's wrong with the one you have?" that it's not his?
"it's my mother's its powerful, but it's... not the same, doesn't quite... understand me, know what I mean?"
"Why didn't you tell her? Bellatrix. You knew it was me, you didn't say anything" we both stiffened at this. Potter reached for his wand in his pocket
"easy..."
"EXPELLIARMUS!" ugh Parkinson just stay away, Merlin's beard...
"Avada kedavra!"
"THEO! Theo, we're not trying to kill them, okay?" I scolded "let's go, quick" the three of us started running, someone was chasing us
"THAT'S MY GIRLFRIEND YOU NUMPTIES!" it's Randy
"MERLIN I'M FED UP WITH YOU! AZ-RETH!" fire erupted from Theo's wand in the form of animals
"THEO, WHAT THE FUCK!"
"I- I WAS TRYING TO THROW SOME OF THESE CHAIRS DOWN! I DIDN'T MEAN TO-" a lion started pouncing toward us
"RUN!" Draco grabbed my hand and we ran as fast as we could to a dead-end "what do we do? We have nowhere to go" the fire-snake was on our tails aswell now
"CLIMB!" I shouted
We started climbing our way to safety. Crawling up the furniture. I heard a scream from behind me, theo had grabbed a loose chair... He fell and the flames engulfed him, claiming him
"THEO" I screamed, tears brimmed my eyes, I stayed there for a few seconds, watching the place where he fell
"come on 'Mione" Draco muttered, he grasped my hand and placed it on the next bit of wood I could reach
"yeah.. yeah" we kept climbing. we both grabbed onto a small table, it fell down, not all the way but enough so we were now dangling from the mountain, flames licking at my feet, we couldn't do anything and neither of us wanted to die as Theo did.
The trio flew out of the fire
"TAKE MY HAND" Weasley shouted
"NO!" I shouted back
"I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO MARRY ME, I'M TRYING TO SAVE YOU"
"FINE"
I pulled myself onto the back of the broom, Potter had saved Draco and we were all now flying toward the exit
We tumbled onto the floor. Draco and I got up straight away and ran from them.
I stopped halfway through one of the halls, every event that just happened dawning on me
"Theo... oh my god, Theo" I gasped, holding my stomach, I fell to the floor, tears falling "Theo's dead Draco... he's dead, what's gonna happen to Astoria?" I cried. "I've known him since I was born we took fucking baths together when we were babies!"
Draco knelt down and took my hands in his "I know... I know baby, we- we need to get through it tonight, just for the night. We can't let it drag us down... not tonight" I nodded, knowing he's right
"okay... lets go"
I feel like I wrote 'nodded' wayyy too much in this chapter
