Chapter 45
Theme: Blood
Optional Prompt: I'll kill whoever hurt you
He stirs and feels the hard floor beneath him, ignoring the pain radiating throughout his body, he slowly opens his eyes and immediately retches at the sight. At his side is another, smaller body covered completely in blood. He drags himself closer, desperate to know she’s ok.
The prior moments come rushing back to him in fractured pieces. A group caught by snatchers. Her screams piercing through the manor. Attacking his aunt to buy them time. And finally the cruciatus tearing through his body leaving nothing but blackness.
As he drops his head onto Hermione’s chest, he feels hope in the sound of her strained but present heartbeat. He feels a hand caress his cheek and startled, he peers up at the intense eyes of his witch.
“You’re hurt,” she whispers, “I’ll kill whoever hurt you.”
