Secrets

Chapter 16

Hermione was in her bedroom, she was sitting on her bed and breathed a sigh of relief, she had managed to get away from Krum, a student had come up to him and asked for an autograph and a bunch of girls had also came up, wanting to hear his stories.

There was a knock at the door and Hermione stiffen as she got up and walked over to the door.

“Who is it?” Hermione asked

“Santa.” A male voice teased and Hermione laughed as she opened the door and launched herself into his arms.

“How are you?” he asked and Hermione pulled away and looked into his green eyes.

“I’m fine, but I will be better when he leaves.” Hermione admitted and Harry nodded as he shut the door behind him and both of them made their way to the bed.

“Snape is back, your parents are in hospital and they are fine, they’ll have to stay there for a few weeks to get their strength back but they will be fine.” Harry said and Hermione closed her eyes in happiness and relief, she flung her arms around Harry and pulled him into a hug.

“That’s great!” Hermione squealed and Harry laughed as he hugged her back.

“All we need to do now is trap Krum so we can get rid of him but everyone has different ideas what to do, some of them want to give him to Fluffy to play with,” Harry started and Hermione nodded thoughtfully and Harry groaned. “Remind me not to get on your bad side, the others want to do the killing curse on him but some of the others feel that it’s not good enough so we have no idea what to do!” Harry remarked and Hermione laughed while thinking that they others were doing.

“What do you want?” Hermione asked and Harry shrugged.

“Anything that will make him stays away from you.” Harry said sadly and Hermione looked at him.

“It’s really hurting you that I didn’t tell you isn’t it?” Hermione asked and Harry looked at her and nodded.

“Yes it is, I just wished that you could have felt that you could trust me, you really hurt me when you said that I was dangerous, I know I’m dangerous to be around but you and Ron had always changed my mind, hearing you say that was like a bullet through my heart.” Harry whispered and Hermione choked back a sob.

“I didn’t mean too! I had to get you to turn away from me other wise Krum would have hurt you like he hurt my parents.” Hermione explained as tears filled her eyes and Harry looked at her.

“Mione, I’m getting hunted by a mad killer who killed my parents and you were worried that I couldn’t survive Krum?” Harry asked and Hermione laughed a bit.

“I forgot about that, it just, well the thought of losing you Harry scares me to death, I’m not ready to lose you.” Hermione finished tearfully and Harry pulled her into a hug.

“You are not gonna lose me, I’ll always be here, where ever you go, I’ll be watching you and protecting you and when ever you come back, I’ll be right there, okay?” Harry whispered into her ear, which caused Hermione to nod against his cheek and clutch him tighter to her as tears ran down her cheeks and onto his jumper. Harry sighed and buried in his face into her neck as they both comforted the other.

The rest of the Gryffindor, the teachers and Draco was listening from the doors and it made their heart break and tears fall from their eyes as they listened to the heartfelt between the two kids. Draco shook his head.

“What is it with them two that makes us cry?” Draco demanded as he wiped the tears from his eyes and everyone laughed as they moved down into the common room to leave the two best friends alone.

   Krum was outside, he was watching the stars when he sensed somebody behind him, he turned around and saw that the Gryffindor and Draco was all laughing as they walked around the lake, he noticed with narrowed eyes that Harry and Hermione wasn’t there and his gut told him that they were together. He growled as he stormed back into the castle and up to the Gryffindors’ common room to talk to Hermione to find out what was going on.

  Harry and Hermione was still hugging when somebody on the door started banging it, Hermione pulled away with a silent gasp as she looked toward the door with fear.

“Who is it?” Hermione asked.

“It’s me, let me in now! I want to talk to you!” Krum snarled through the door and Harry stood up with anger in his eyes, ready to let Krum in, Hermione panicked as she grabbed Harry’s hand and pushed him to the floor then shoved him under the bed, she thanked god that the beds have a valance sheet so that no one could see what was under the bed. Harry was stunned when she shoved him under the bed and wondered why she did it.

Hermione hurried over to the door and unlocked it.

“What do you want Krum? You know boys are not allowed in the Girl’s dormitory.” Hermione said and Krum pushed his way through into the bedroom.

“Where is he?” Krum demanded.

“Where’s who?” Hermione asked puzzled and Krum grabbed her by the hair and yanked her over to him. Hermione let out a squeal of pain, which caused Harry to clench his fists in order to stop him from bursting out from under the bed and hexing or knocking Krum into the next dimension.

“Don’t play dumb with me! Where is Harry? I saw the rest of the group down stairs and I find that you two are missing! So where is he?” Krum snarled into Hermione’s fearful face.

“I don’t know what you mean! You told me to stay away from him and I did!” Hermione said with tears running down her face. Harry felt his heart clench painfully at the sound of her tearful voice.

Krum grew more enrage and threw her across the room, Hermione let out a squeal of pain when her back met the hard wall. Harry lost it and crawled out from under the bed. Krum smirked.

“I knew that you were here.” He said to Harry with a smug look and turned to Hermione. “You are one cheating slut! How dare you cheat on me?!” Krum demanded.

Harry grabbed the front of Krum’s robe and pinned him up against the wall, Harry was taller than Krum so he had an a fair advantage as well as the strength from fighting Voldemort and death eaters and playing Quidditch.

“You are to stay away from Hermione.” Harry said softly but no one could miss the underlying anger. “Because if you don’t, I will personally make you regret being born and for coming anywhere near her.” Harry finished. Krum just smirked.

“You can’t tell me what to do. There are a lot of things you that you don’t know about, so I don’t think you should be playing games with me.” Krum smugly replied and Harry thrusted Krum against the wall once more but more harder.

“I don’t think you heard me.” Harry growled, his eyes flaring with enraged anger. “I know how you beat her up and you emotionally abuse her, you tortured her parents but you don’t have them any longer because Snape got them out of your house and took them to a safe place. I can assure you that I know more about Mione that you know about her.” Harry snarled and threw him across the room. “If I catch you anywhere near her I can assure you it will be the last thing you do!” Harry snapped.

Krum got up and looked at Harry, he had misjudged Harry and looked toward Hermione with a glare that told her that he would get her. He left the room without a word and a flap of his coat. Hermione busted into tears as Harry cooled down and sat next to her, pulling her into a hug, assuring her that they both were okay and that he would protect her no matter what.
