The Mudblood

Chapter Nine

I walk down the halls of the Diggory residence. Now, I don't want to lie, I am lost. This house is too big, I only have so much space in my mind.

I sit on the ground, and look out the window. This is not the situation I was hoping for, but it let's me think.

I need to write Ron, Harry, and everyone else. Cedric and I are going to the fair today. There is just a lot on my mind.

What will I even tell Ron? Hey Ron, guess what I've been doing! Getting lost in the Diggory residence! Harry, what will I write to him? Hey Harry, turns out Malfoy doesn't hate me.

It would be a very big struggle to soothe their feelings. I want them to both be happy, but I have nothing to tell them! Ugh, why is life so hard?

The moon is setting, as the sun arises. Everyone is asleep right now, and I am looking sthe stars still visible.

The idea of stars facinates me. It's amazing how the stars are so independent but come together to make a constellation, much like the houses in Hogwarts.

We are all independent, but we share a symbol of unity. I unite all of the houses. They bond, through me. None of the Gryffindors realize they are talking to a Slytherin, and the same for the Slytherins.  I am an independent and a dependent.

The only reason I am noticing this, is because I have seen the houses getting along ok. Cedric will actually talk to Draco, and Draco will reply.

Eve n if it is just for me, the houses are a step closer than I would have thought. They are getting closer to unison, without realizing it.

Cedric walks down the hall, and I smile. He smiles back, but it is weird. He looks like he is about to do something bad.

"Are you feeling well Cedric" I ask him. He ignored the question and walks up to me. I look around, and see no one else down the hall.

His grey eyes, are now a bluish color. Why are they like that? He grabs my arm and pulls me to an unknown place.

"Hermione, run" his voice presses. Why would he tell me to run. His eyes went from grey then back to that weird blue.

"Are you ok" I ask him, again.

"Yes, of course" he smirks. His voice isn't normal, it is a bit deeper. Now I understand, he is spelled. What spell is it?

I yank my arm from his grip, and take off down the hall. He follows right behind me, in a calm manner. What spell what spell?!?!

I open the door and flee, he follows behind me, as he has been doing. Only this time, he seems kind of worried. I can apperate...

Yes, I apperate but I hear him swear. I hate swear words. My room in the Diggory residence comes into my mind, and I am here.

I rush and grab all of my stuff, before he can know I'm here. All of my stuff is packed in less than five minutes. I apperate away, just as he opens the door.

Draco pops in my head, and I am suddenly in a room. The room had nice furniture and green decoration. This is definitely Draco's room!

"Hermione" he asks, as he turns around from his desk. I run to him and hug him.

"Sorry I'm early! Cedric was going to be busy for the next few days. I didn't want to be a bother. Don't worry, I made sure he knew I was here. Again, sorry" I ramble off. He just laughs and kisses my cheek.

My cheeks flare up and I look down. That is a nice way if saying shut up! Ugh, why am I blushing?!?!

He chuckles again and walks over to his closet.
