Scared Of The Past

0.1

I woke up suddenly by the storming and screaming at my door. Why on Earth would they storm like that at this hour? I though Draco would've already gotten up to shut their screaming. But when I looked on the side, he wasn't here. The sheets were all messy. There was only a small piece of paper on the pillow. I took it and before I could read it, Harry started screaming.

"Hermione Granger, if you don't open that stupid door at once, Ill shot that door down!"

Why would he do that? I took the paper and slide it in my pocket. I ran downstairs and opened the door. As I see Harry, I suddenly saw the panic in his eyes. He seemed scared.

"We need to go right now! The war has begun."

"What do you mean? Where is Ron and Ginny? Are they alright? Harry, what are we going to do?"

I started to panic. Is it why Draco left? Does his dad came and enrolled him into this madness? Do I need to worry? Of course I do! You fool he is your boyfriend!

"Calm down Mione! Everyone's alright. We just need to go. Right now!"

We started to run down the stairs and I was beginning to worry a lot. Where the Heck was he? Of course I was worrying about Ron and Ginny but... Draco? Was he OK at least? I didn't and it was awful.

We ran for five minutes and then it hit me. The screaming, the panic in everyone eyes got me like a hurricane. It's real. It's happening. I checked my pockets to see if the paper was still there and for my blessing, it was. We went out by the back of the school and ran in the forest. Where are we going?

"Harry! Slow down and explain to me was happening!" I screamed. I was tired already. "You know I'm not the physical one."

"We do not have time for this. We need to go far from here. Ron and Ginny are by the river and we need to go there." His green eyes were full of worry. He wanted to be by Ginny right now and I knew it. So I just start running with all the energy I had left.

When we finally arrived there, Ginny start running and jump in Harry's arm. All we could hear is Ginny whispering "Thanks Merlin you're OK". I stopped running and I sat on the ground. I wished I had more cardio than that but books were my things. Ron start running too and he jumped in my arm. We both fell and he was all over me.

"Merlin I was worried sick. I thought you were dead in there." He whispered in my ears. He hugged me very thigh and I was there, laying on the grass, him over me.

"I'm fine Ron but could you... move? I can't breathe." I said. He move quickly excusing himself and help me standing up. By the time I was on my feet Ginny jump in my arms.

"YOU FOOL! YOU DIDN'T HEAR THE ALARM? DON'T DO THAT AGAIN ANYTIME SOON! I WAS SO WORRIED!" she screamed. I laugh and hug her thigh. I understand her reaction. I would do the same.

"No I didn't hear... But what's happening? Can you explain to me?"

"Lord Voldemort is coming. He is not so far with all the Deatheaters. And-"

"They want Harry dead!" Ginny stopped Harry and started to walk. She was very nervous. They want her boyfriend dead. It's understandable.

"Do you know where Draco is...?" I asked shyly.

"Since when do you care about this... dickhead?" Ron said with disgust. I was stuck in my secret. They don't know that I love him... Now I need to find something quickly. Everyone was staring at me waiting for my answer. What can I say? Hermione find for the love of Merlin!

"Hum... You know he wasn't in the chambers... and I thought that maybe he could've..." I stopped. What could I say? That he could've raped me? Nah not a good idea. God damn it Hermione find something to say!

"He could've what Hermione? Are you hiding something from us? Were you aware of the attack? Are you really Hermione??" Ron started to panic.

"Yes I am Hermione! What do you think? If I wasn't I would've killed you all already." I stated. Seriously, sometimes Ron can be stupid. "Anyway, he could've kidnapped me or I don't know killed me. But he didn't so it's weird don't you all think?"

"Yes, it is. Where is he? You were an easy target. Don't take it personally Hermione but it's true." Ginny said. Well at least I find something strong enough to hide my secret. I'm so genius.

"Don't worry; I know I might have been. But anyway, what are you doing? Are we going to hide here forever?" I asked. We can't stay here in the woods.

"We will stay here for the night and then we'll go to Howgards help the others. You know I feel kind of bad to let them there alone..." Ginny says

I nod. Technically, Voldemort isn't there yet. And we need to hide Harry as long as we can. We made a fire like the muggles would've done and we all lay down on the ground. I didn't bring my purse with all my things in it so we didn't have blankets or pillows. Anyway we will survive. I was a little further of the group so I could read the note. I took my Wang and said quietly "Lumos" and started to read the letter:

Hermione,

I know you're probably mad at me while reading this note because I didn't wake you up when I left. My dad was in a hurry when he contacted me. I needed to leave and I am truly sorry that I couldn't say goodbye properly. For your concern, I didn't know it was tonight. I only knew that it would be soon. I am truly sorry for what I'm going to say to you right now. I am marked. I have their mark. It's on my skin right now. I hid it to you yesterday because I was scared to show it to you. Pardon me, my love. Dumbledore must be dead by now. I'm sorry for that too. But, let me the chance to explain it to you. You know the little red cabin into the woods we loved to hide? Meet me there tomorrow night. I will be there and I'll tell you everything you want to know. Just come. I don't want to say to myself that I didn't tell you the story and I didn't tell you something really important.

Meet me around midnight.

Your love

D.M.

That's it. He asked me to leave my friends and go meet him into our little secret place. Merlin I wanted to leave now but I couldn't. Not now at least. Tomorrow I'll see him. And he'll tell me everything I want to hear. Everything.
