Just Leave Me Alone

The day looked bleak for Hermione Granger and it did not look like it would stop being bleak for quite some time.

Hermione cried herself to sleep every night since the night she told Harry Potter that she loved him.

What happened? Well, he told her that he did not see her as girlfriend material. Whatever, that meant. The only thing she knew is that he did not love her. How could he love someone like her? She is not even on the same level as THE-BOY-WHO-LIVED. Lived-to-die-later-on is more like it.

She could not control her sobbing. The tears just would not stop. So, she did what she thought is the best thing to do. She went to the library. The library had been a place to feel safe and escape for years. Those books offered knowledge and kinder words than that what was offered by her so-called friends. She did not love to talk for hours with her friends about make-up and men. That did not sound fun to her. She had to get out of her room and stop this moping. Although! She did have a right to mope.

Moping about Harry not liking her that way did not capture to what had happened just a week ago when her parents where captured by some leprechauns. What leprechauns wanted with her parents she would never know. She did not live in Ireland. Her parents did not even own any gold.

Not only that but some big blue monster took her little cousin in the night. She was found but whatever is happening to her family could happen to her soon.

She pondered the strange events that often happened to her family.

Fizzy hair. People always trying to sell her swords. Men in tights. Men in black. Spiders talking to her. Police showing up at her door only when she was in the shower unless she is going to the library and then they show up. Guests never leaving until forced out. A wheel in her bedroom that would not stop spinning at home. Her tree outside her room exploding every night than returning the next day. And little kids walking around with little stuff animals.

Stuff like that happens all the time at home. Excluding guys in black showing up at every fair she went to singing the blues.

Often, she wonder what would happen if all those people followed her to Hogwarts. After a while Hogwarts did not seem too bad. Relaxing is more like it. Ok, so it is a bit odd to make friends with Harry Potter but things like that just happen all the time. Right?

She walked down to the library and gave a sigh when she heard, "I am the Terminator are you Sarah Connor." The man walked right up to her. Did nothing.

She answered, "No," then she noticed as the man just walked away. Looking closer she did see some sort of weapon but soon he had gone. "I so need a break."

Draco noticed her talking to herself and could not help but speak up. "Who are you talking to? Or are you having dillusions?" He smirked, waiting for her to respond.

Just then a policeman asked her, "Have you seen John Conner?" He waited patiently and gave her a photo. She gave it back.

She looked him straight in the eye. "No, sorry." She gave him a sorry look.

He looked at her and gave a smile. "Well if you hear anything this is my number." She put the number in her pocket. The man then walked away. Ok, that was odd.

Draco just stared at her. "Who were you talking to? Where did that paper come from?" Draco did look more curious than usual. But tried to act cool.

Hermione just shook her head, "It does not surprise me that you can not see them." She just moved closer to the library. Her needs to get to the library just increased and she would not have to deal with Draco. Well, that is what she thought.

Draco followed her. "Granger going to the library again?" This was not the most intelligent question of course she was going to the library. Where else would she go?

She did not seem to mind him following her but it did annoy her a little. "Yes."

He wanted to see what was on that paper that just appeared in her hand. Papers do not just appear. Who was she talking to? Is she evil? Does Voldemort have something to do with this? Harry Potter? Ron? Dumbledore? "What is on that piece of paper, Granger?"

She looked at him. "You saw the paper? How? Weird." She walked into the library and found a seat next to the window.

Draco followed her. "Could I see the paper?" He looked as if he where interested. She handed him the note. "Who is T-1000?"

Hermione smiled. "That guy that just talked to me, I guess. He always gives me the same note about this time every other week. One of this days I will out who John Conner really is and give him a piece of my mind." She just got up and went to the bookshelf. Until, she stopped to watch a girl pass by her with her nose in a book reading intently. Not even paying attention to her. Then a man followed the girl.

The man spoke to Hermione. "I will claim Belle for my wife." The man looked very strong and willing to hit anyone who would close to his future or would be wife. Belle must be a very pretty girl.

Hermione smiled. "I just saw her leave the library reading a book. Good-Luck." The man only gave her a smile and a slight eyebrow raise.

Draco questioned Hermione. "Another one of your dillusions?" He smirked.

Hermione just scratched her head. "I only wish he sing songs about himself all the time. That Gaston has to learn that he will never get Belle." He did not look convinced but followed her anyway.

"What are you going on about this time?" She looked very annoyed by him.

"It is easy for you to talk you do not have leprechauns trying to steal every shiny object you buy. I wonder how they would feel if I stole their stuff? Evil little... I will calm down."

"I have not had any problems with them."

"That is because they do not try to kidnap you parents. I do wonder where they take them for the two weeks a year they are gone."

"You lie..." He did not believe her at all. He had seen trick like this before. Leprechauns?

"Watch." She dropped a coin and them it was gone in second only Hermione noticed the green man take it. "Did you see?"

"It disappeared. So." Draco just could not believe her.

"I am going to get a book." She just sat down with her book and Draco left. Finally, she could be alone. There was no telling when she could be interrupted, yet again. But for now she was alone. If only she knew earlier that telling the truth would get people to leave her alone, she would have done that year ago.
