Hopes to be Happy | Hermione Granger [2]

Chapter 2 - Cafe

TW: Slight mentions of blood and fighting

No one's POV

Katerína was given her first 'mission' with the death eaters today. And that was to go to Bill and Fleur's wedding and try to capture Harry Potter.

Katerína recently learned how to fly, which is the only reason she is going with them on this assignment.

The death eaters and her flew to Bill and Fleur's wedding, black smoke trailing behind them as they flew through the tent, setting most things on fire.

Katerína landed on her feet, looking around to notice the distressed people. And that's when her eyes landed on the familiar caramel brown ones.

Hermione's POV

I was scurrying around the tent, trying to find Ron and Harry, wanting to leave this place as soon as possible. But I paused, locating a certain redhead Slytherin.

My eyes widened when I saw her look back at me. Without thinking, I quickly sped-walk to her. I paused in front of her for a second, not saying anything, then slapped her as hard as I could.

"I deserved that." I heard Rina mutter, trailing her fingers over the area I slapped. Right after that, I pulled her into the tightest hug ever.

"C'mon, we have to go." I said, grabbing her arm and dragging her over to Harry and Ron, apparating us away from the place.

We landed in the middle of a road. Right before a bus could hit us, all of us ran to the side.

We stopped for a moment, catching our breaths before someone asked, "Why did you do that?" I looked to my left, spotting Katerína. "You'd rather stay with those ghastly people?"

Katerína's POV

I have always wanted to visit the muggle world, and I finally can! I'm still quite excited about it, even if it's not under the best circumstances.

"Where are we?" I could hear Weasley ask as we were speeding through the large crown, leading to Mione turning around, answering with, "Shaftesbury Avenue. I used to come here to the theatre with my mum and dad. Just popped into my head. I don't know why."

After walking for a while, we got to an empty alleyway, and finally stopped walking. "We need to change." The curly haired girl stated, opening her tiny bag.

She reached inside, practically fitting her whole arm, as the redhead boy stared wide-eyed. "How the ruddy...?" He started asking, but got cut off. "Undetectable Extension Charm."

Hermione started grabbing clothes out of the bag, handing us all something. "You're amazing, you are." Weasley complimented her. "Always the tone of surprise." She replied, giving him a small smile.

I stared at the pair, a visible frown on my face as I felt jealousy run through my veins. 'At least she can be happy with the person she actually wants to be with now' I thought, but that still didn't make me any less mad.

I changed into the clothes she gave me, including putting on this black hat she gave me, so if any death eaters find us, they wouldn't see my face immediately. Then, we went to the closest cafe, which was empty, allowing us to be able to talk about magic-related stuff.

"What about all the people at the wedding? Do you think we should go back?" Potter worriedly questioned. "They were after you, we'd put everyone in danger by going back." Weasley responded, leading to the Granger agreeing with him.

A waitress came up to us, clearing her throat. "Coffee?" She quizzed, looking bored out of her mind. "A cappuccino please." Hermione answered.

"You?" The waitress then quizzed, pointing towards Weasley. "What she said." The redhead replied. "Same." Potter then answered. I just stayed silent, not wanting to order the 'cappuccino' thing, whatever it is.

I saw Weasley glare at me after the waitress left. "What?" I quizzed, furrowing my eyebrows. He ignored me, looking towards the curly haired brunette. "What's she doing with us?"

Hermione rolled her eyes, saying," Relax, she is on our side. She never wanted to work with Voldemort-" I widened my eyes, shushing her. "You can't say his name, or else-"

Before I finished my sentence, two dudes wearing worker clothes walked in, both of them slowly pulling something out of their pockets.

"GET DOWN!" I shouted, realising those were wands. Right when I said that, the two 'workers' shot a spell, leading to our table breaking in half, while the trio and I went to the floor, hiding behind the other chairs and tables.

A lot of spells were casted, and a lot of things broke. Eventually, we won the duel, meaning the two men were unconscious. The waitress from before, walked out, shock masking her face as she located the two people laying on the floor.

"Go! Leave!" Hermione ordered, while the waitress abided, dashing out of the place. "Lock the door, get the lights." Potter instructed, leading to Weasley taking out this thing and somehow made the lights go off.

Mione used magic to close all the curtains, while I followed the two boys to see the men. "This one's name is Rowle. He was at the astronomy tower, the night..." Potter paused for a second, looking towards me. "...Snape killed Dumbledore."

I looked down, that night flashing through my mind. "This one's Dolohov. I recognise him from the wanted posters." Weasley declared.

"So what do we do with you, huh? Kill us if it was turned round, wouldn't you?" The youngest Weasley boy said to the unconscious body.

"Ron." Hermione called out. "Suppose it's him that did Mad-Eye. How would you feel then?" The redhead retorted. "It's your fault this happened!" Weasley exclaimed, his voice laced with hatred while he glared at me.

"And how exactly is it my fault?" I asked, glaring back at him. "Well, they probably found out you were here. If we died, it would be on you."

I was about to say something back, before Hermione cut me off. "Guys!" There was a moment of silence before I spoke up again. "We should wipe their memories. They would know we're here if we kill them."

Harry nodded in agreement. Ron walked up to Hermione, wiping a bit of blood on her cheek, saying, "Hermione... you're the best at spells."

With that, the brunette slowly walked up to the unconscious bodies, wiping their memories.
