She knew she was awake. Hermione could feel the cold hard floor under her, the commotion around her, the shouts for help, and how someone shook her body, trying to get her to wake up.

"Hermione!" she heard the shout, "Hermione! Go to the Headmaster's off-" the order was interrupted, as the red headed boy shoot a curse to one of their enemies, "-Office, now!" he yelled.

She could now remember how her legs didn't obey her immediately, seeing the one she loved fighting, and shouting at her, it brought her to reality in the moment, so she did as he told her.

She ran. She reached the third floor quickly, and stared at the gargoyle, panting.

The password was 'Shiny Cauldron', and Hermione cursed herself inwardly for not remembering it sooner.

She furrowed her brows as she tried to control her breath and remember the password. She brought her dirty and bloody hands to her hair and huffed, finally saying with a gasp, "Shiny Cauldron!" she said, breathlessly and watched the big and ugly stone object move to allow her to enter. She ran up the spiral stars and opened the two big doors with some effort. She looked around the, frowning when she saw no one waiting there for her. Was Ron simply hiding her there to protect her? Or was something else behind that?

Suddenly, something that seemed like a letter flew to her, entering her pocket and when she looked in the direction from where the paper came from, Dumbledore, on his portrait, had his hand raised, pointing his finger at her.

"Sic transit in praet… eritum, et futurum ten… ebris luce- m splendescere nibh. Sic trans-" she found herself muttering, as the hushed voices around her got silenced.

Hermione opened her eyes, firstly, finding the ceiling of a big structure. Rock, yellow-ish, building. She felt her heart rise to her throat. She was still in Hogwarts.

"Hello? Are you alright?" a voice with a thick accent said, and she could see a blurred face approach her, to what she winced and backed away immediately, gasping at the throbbing pain on her back, "Merlin's beard…" she could now sense the voice belonged to a female human being, who agitatedly looked around for help, ignoring the people around the almost lifeless body that lay on the ground, "Where's the Head Boy?! A Professor? Call someone, the lass is hurt!" The girl said in a huff and then looked back at her, "You'll be taken care of soon, don't you worry…" She started softly, but Hermione couldn't manage to catch the last words, as the pain took over her.
