Hermione hurried because she could now catch sight of the houses further beyond. But the sound coming from far behind made her feel uneasy. Only she knew how terrified she was at this very moment.
The rustling leaves became louder and Hermione quickened her pace, running through to get to the other side. The faster she ran, the louder the rustling sounds.
She started to hear her heartbeat drumming against her ribcage. Small amount of sweats formed at her temple. Hermione turned around to look back but the was nobody. Not even a presence. But the sounds of footsteps running with her were still audible. Her fear increased in great lengths.
Is it the creatures? She did not know. Her eyes stung with a burning liquid. She did not need anyone to tell her that it's her tears, her breath became harsh as though she was going to collapse any time soon.
