Chapter 1

Hermione has been training and studying the Dark Arts ever since the Firebolt incident in her third year happened. She knew that it will be useful in the future. She had been angry at Harry and Ron for their childish acts. She had forgiven Harry because she loved him since he saved her from the troll but not Ron because of what happened that time. She always had been harboring hatred to Ron and she doesn't know why Harry picked him as a friend.

On their fourth year, Harry has been entered in the Triwizard Tournament. Ron became jealous and left them. She had hoped that Harry will notice her but no, he leaned on Cho Chang who is boyfriend of Cedric Diggory, the Hogwarts champion. She was able to master Occlumency and hide her thoughts which proved to be useful when Harry, who was almost burned by a dragon, welcomed Ron with open arms and forgave him for leaving them. Then at the third task Voldemort returned, Cedric was killed and they are forced to hide. Harry's name is disgraced on the Daily Prophet by the ministry. Being attacked by dementors the Order of the Phoenix, Dumbledore's vigilante group against Voldemort's Death Eaters, were forced to put Harry into their headquarters. He shouted at Ron and Hermione for leaving him behind. Hermione decided to show that she was under orders from Dumbledore but inside she is angry at him for what he had done.

Now at their fifth year, Harry still leaned on Cho Chang and became his girlfriend. Can't he see that she will betray him to try to break him the first chance she got because of Cedric? That is what he got; she dumped him at Madam Puddifoot's and betrayed their club that defies Umbridge's regime at Hogwarts. Her friend Marietta Edgecombe was the one that betrayed them but she is in league with Chang when she betrayed the club. Hermione knew these thanks to a little bit of legilimency and compulsions. Dumbledore paid the price and their life in Hogwarts has got worse than the last time.

Hermione was not oblivious to Dumbledore's plans on controlling Harry. If sending your friend back to a place where you know he suffers is too obvious now. There are also blank spots in her mind when she practices occlumency. Then Sirius fell through the veil, Hermione saw a hidden giddiness in the headmaster's face. Hermione knew that he must be controlling Harry through charms and potions. He might have even been paying Ronald Weasley for spying on them. Even Remus must be doing the headmaster's bidding just because of his disease. He is following Harry and even Tonks is.

Now, Hermione is outside No. 12 Grimmauld Place, where Harry, who is still distraught of Sirius death and decided not to go back to the Dursleys, and where the order is located. She is wearing black robes and a cloak. She decided to end Harry's problems. She is not The house is occupying Harry, Ginny, Remus and Tonks.

Hermione sent her parents to Australia so that they wouldn't get in the way of the war and everything else that would happen on the magical world.

Raising her wand, which she was able to remove the trace, towards the door and said, "Bombarda".

The door exploded and Remus appeared through the hallway. Catching sight of an intruder, he fired stunners at Hermione which she batted away and retaliated with reducto, blasting and bombarda curses. Tonks and Ginny appeared to with their wands drawn and a bewildered Harry at the back.

Hermione suddenly fired a 'lumos' which temporarily blinded them and a bombarda at Remus which flung him across the hallway nearly crashing to Harry who ducked but stumbled. The audible sound of a crack pronounced that his spinal cord broke.

Tonks fired body bind curses while Ginny used bat bogey hexes. Hermione dodged the curses and hexes. She fired cutting curses which struck Ginny and a blasting curse caught Tonks and she was blasted away like what happened to Remus. Harry is the only one left standing.

He stood shaking, his wand on ready to fire a spell, said, "Who are you?"

"I expected that you from all people should recognize me, Harry." Hermione said standing on the doorway.

Harry's eyes widened in shock in recognition of the voice and looked to the ground while his hand dropped his wand and he fell on his knees. "But… but why?"

Hermione went to Harry and put her hand under his chin to force him to look at her.

"You wouldn't understand. With the charms and potions put unto you, you wouldn't listen. I cannot help you except one thing." She said and she stepped back.

Harry felt for his wand and raised it at Hermione which was quickly disarmed by her. He looked to the ground and awaited his death.

Hermione went to Harry, cupped his chins and leaned in to kiss him. It is a moment of bliss for both of them.

A golden mist surrounded removing the potions and charms placed upon them. A black mist rose up from Harry's scar screaming and he fainted.

As Hermione felt her consciousness slipping away from her, she smiled knowing that there is a chance for both her and Harry.

Before fainting she noticed a man, a teenager, wearing white robes standing on the doorway. Her mind is able to process it but she was unable to do anything as she fainted.
