Chapter 1
Hermione was walking up to Theo's dorm she felt off but she can't place it. It's like she's trapped in her mind. She knows she's under Imperius, but she's not strong enough to break through. She cant seem to remember what the command was. She remembers dumbledore because only half of his oblivation worked. She opens the door to his room and walked inside.
“Hi gorgeous,” theo says. He's sitting on his bed, I walk to the bed. “Hi theo, I'm sorry,” I say. He looks confused. Then I pull out the knife from my robe and slowly sink into his chest. I'm freaking out in my mind why did I do that? I continue to try to break out of the curse. I slowly watch the lights fall out of his eyes. Then I break out of the curse… I lost my courage and I run back to my dorm and take a shower then I burn my clothes and sob through the whole night, if I told someone that I killed him no one would believe me. I’m too young to be locked away forever . I’m just a mudblood in some peoples eyes.
I throw on my robes and go find Nevile in the greenhouse. “Hey Hermione what's up?” he can tell I look like shit and I know my heart is broken. I feel the shattered pieces. “ Neville I know this is unusual but can you give me a few joints?” I say looking down towards the floor. He looks at me weird, everyone just assumes I’m perfect because I stay in the library ry and get good grades. In reality, I’m just trying to prove to others I belong in this magical world.
“Yeah Hermione, just take these for free you look like you need them more than me.” he hands me a few. I slip them in my pocket and make my way to the black lake. The sun is starting to come up.I set out a blanket on the floor and sit down. I light one and smoke it then another then another. Next thing you know I'm higher than the clouds. i can barely feel my body, and my thoughts are all messy, but I like it this way so I don’t have to feel anything nothing at all I feel free. I make my way towards the great hall for breakfast.
I walk in and hear everyone talking about finding theo dead. I see many looks of pity, now this usually would bother me but I'm so high I don't care. I go to my house table and sit next to Ron and harry. I pull the flask of fire whiskey out of my robe and take a long drink of it.
Luna comes from the Ravenclaw table she smiles that usually dreamy look on her face. “Hermione I'm sorry for your loss even though we know who really did it.” I just give her a curt nod of my head. She knows it was dumbledore too apparently.
“Hermione, you've been really quiet,” Ron says while shoving food in his face. Harry slaps him in the arm. “Fuck off Ron” I take my bag and leave.Everyone is staring as a stumble out of the great hall, I think everyone can tell I’m not sober. But really honestly I don’t give a fuck. I’ve lost my happiness because Dumbledore must think that Theo was trying to get information about the order out of me. But, he wasn’t he liked me for me and didn’t care about sides of the war. If Theo could be on a side personally I think he would have been neutral or joined the order. Ron never liked my relationship with Theo. I know because Ron tried to convince me multiple times to break up with Theo. Ron always assumes the worst in people and is quick to judge and blame the wrong people. I personally think he was jealous.
While walking down the hall I feel Fred pull me into an empty classroom. He puts silencing charms up. “Hermione, I'm guilty I feel horrible please look into my mind. “I nod, I think he knows something I don't.I can tell by the look on his face, he was always bad at hiding his emotions unlike his twin. I pull into his mind and he brings forward the memory he wants to show me
Fred’s Memory:
I look and see the order meeting, there is all the Wesleys, mad eye, the lupins, snape, harry, and dumbledore.
“I have called this meeting concerning Hermione, I think she has gotten distracted from our goal with her boyfriend Theodore. He may also be a death eater using her for information. She needs to focus on our plans. He is a Slytherin and not to be trusted. I have a plan to remove him but I need everyone's agreement.” Dumbledore said.
“ I agree, he is taking up to much of her time and he doesn't deserve her. “ Ron replied. “I agree with Ron and he's a Slytherin and best friends with Draco Malfoy I don't trust him one bit.” harry said angrily.
Hermione watches everyone else in the room agree. “Well then that settles it.” Dumbledore said with a smile. Dumbledore does what he wants whenever he wants. It’s like he has a giant chess board and uses the order as Chess pieces . Deciding who lives and who dies. He only wants to defeat Tom Riddle to put himself in a pedestal making himself look like a hero.
The memory fades
