Just Go For It

Chapter 26

It was now 7:00. They had to leave Hogsmead at 5:00 because it was December and it got dark quickly. She started thinking about where she was going to get a unicorns horn and a pure red rose. She knew she could get a unicorns horn from Diagon Alley. But the rose Hermione couldn't think of anywhere, other than the Forbidden Forest and she wouldn't cut a horn of a unicorn because that's mean but she would try to find the rose... Hermione got ready in the normal things like coat, scarf, gloves. Which the gloves and scarf were a creamy white and the coat was the same as what she wore at Hogsmead. Red with black buttons. She was about to go out the Head boy and girls common room door until Draco's voice appeared.

"Where you going Hermione?"

"Huh. I'm going for a walk."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah why wouldn't I be sure?"

"Because It's freezing outside and it's been snowing all day."

"So, I'll be okay Draco."

Hermione rushed out the door before he could answer back. And went outside the castle.

She saw the Forbidden Forest, it looked dark, gloomy and frightening. Well it has always looked like that but she went ahead anyway. She walked straight in and walked carefully not rushing to take a step since there's Werewolves and Centaurs in the Forest. Any sudden movement could make anything turn to her. There was a lot of creatures in the Forbidden Forest that could kill someone easily. She kept looking at the plants and flowers that weren't dead. She saw something that looked red she was about to pick it up when she heard a scream. Hermione suddenly turned around and started to run to where she heard the scream come from. It sounded like a girl scream so it was bound to be a girl but how old she couldn't make out. When she got to where the scream was she could just make out that it was Scarlett. And there was a Werewolf right in front of her ready to pounce. Before Hermione could think she rushed in front of Scarlett while the Werewolf was pouncing. She cast a spell that got rid of the Werewolf but she got scratched by it first. Scarlett looked terrified and white with horror.

"Scarlett are you alright?"

"Yes but how did you know I was here?"

"I heard you scream."

"You heard me scream here when you were at the Castle?"

"No I was here and what are you doing here 1st years aren't allowed out here."

"I wanted to show people I was brave. Why are you here?"

"You don't need to show people you were brave and never mind why I'm here." Hermione said with agony holding her arm.

Hermione took Scarlett back to the castle and went the Head boys and girls common room.

She sat on the sofa holding her arm against her chest. Draco came down and saw Hermione.

"Have a nice walk?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"Draco I didn't go for a walk I went to the Forbidden Forest. And I got scratched by a Werewolf."

"Hermione let me see."

"No."

"Why?"

"Because I don't want you to."

Draco grabbed Hermione's arm firmly. And pulled it towards him. He looked at it and he could see Hermione's skin normal but with a scratch going from her elbow to her palm.

"Stay there."

He got up and got a bowl, cloth and put water in the bowl. He went back to Hermione and wiped the cloth smoothly across her arm. She cringed each time he moved the cloth.

"You have to go to Madam Pomfrey."

"Why?"

"Because it could get infected."

"How do you know?"

"Hermione just come on."

He got up and took Hermione out the room.
