The Truth.

Chapter 26-It was time.

*Hexed*

Ow shit. Ok, I'm sorry for the long wait. But adulting sucks and work is horrible however, I need money. 

*Manages to dodge another Hex* 

Super sorry for the long wait but I have a chapter and I hope you enjoy!

*Hexed as I walk away*

Snape kept the attack quiet and since he knew what I was, but I still had to follow the procedures whenever a student had been injured so I had to spend the rest of the afternoon in the hospital. Draco was terrified and was so angry at Harry, as was I. I had to keep reassuring him I was fine, and I would have found his reaction funny if it was any other situation, but I could see the true fear in his eyes. He remained at my side despite knowing that I was fine, and pansy came and visited when she was able to.

I know that Harry would have realised how bad he fucked up with that spell, hence why he had run instead but I was livid with him as not only would he get away with it but he manged to land a spell that he had no idea how to use or fix, and if I was normal, I would have died within minutes. It did make me realise that no matter how strong I may be, I can still get injured. I also needed to work on my defensive spells, preferably wandlessly.

The evening passed quickly and even with Draco worrying over me, I noticed Harry heading out of the hall towards the Astronomy tower. I was still angry with him, so I followed, wanting to have a word and maybe hex him a couple times but stopped short when I heard Snape talking with Dumbledore. Snape came down the stairs, pausing sneering at Harry before walking away. I could see true hatred in his eyes when he looked at Harry and my curiosity was intrigued. I would have to ask him why he hated Harry so much. I remained in the shadows since I could hear clearly from where I stood.

I sneered at when Dumbledore said, "You know, at times, I forget how much you've grown. At times, I still see the small boy from the cupboard." How Harry didn't make the link that Dumbledore had been watching him from the beginning proves how ignorant he is. Forgive my mawkishness Harry. I'm an old man." Harry responded with "You still look the same sir." I rolled my eyes at Harry's sucking up. Dumbledore said, "Just like your mother, you're unfailingly kind." No, they are disappointed in what you have turned him into. It did make me wonder if the Potter's were as kind as many made them out to be. Though I know that if they weren't murdered, Harry would have turned out to be a kinder person and not someone who follows blindly.

I was growing bored of this conversation when Dumbledore said "The place to which we journey tonight is extremely dangerous. I promised you could accompany me, and I stand by that promise. But there is one condition: You must obey every command I give you, without question." Harry agreed, and I was trying to figure out where they would be going, the feeling of dread began to fill my stomach. I bolted up the stairs, trying to stop them from going but I was too late. Dumbledore turned, giving me a smug look before apparating away. How he knew I was there; I don't know but the feeling of dread was present and growing. Worry and anger ran through my body as I knew that Dumbledore had figured out Toms Horcruxes.

I was broken out of my angered state of shock when I heard hurried footsteps, and I turned to greet whoever it was to find an out of breath Draco. "Hermione-" but I held up my hand cutting him off with "Draco, I am fine. Merlin, you're like a worried mother hen." He looked at me in confusion, shaking his head saying, "Shut up no I'm not and I wasn't going to say anything." my eyebrow arched in a very Bella like manner and he huffed before saying, "If you not interrupted me, you would know what I was about to say." I laughed and said "Well, what were you going to say then brat?" He scowled at me before smiling and saying. "I fixed it." 

I grinned in excitement. "Really?" He looked at me, deadpanning. "No, I thought I would just say it for the fun of it." I huffed and slapped his shoulder. "Ok, no need to get sassy with me." Excitement ran through my body as I knew that Dumbledore's time was up and the thought of seeing my mate, who I hadn't seen in months made me feel giddy.
