Chapter 1: Memories
(A/N: I wrote this chapter before I broke my bad habit of caps locking every word see my first story so please just deal with one chapter of annoying every word caps, the other chapters won't have that)
He Missed Her. Every Day Was A Pained Memory Of How Much He Had Loved Her.
He Was Constantly In Pain And Misery. It Had Been Three Years To The Day, Since He Lost Her. Since He Woke Up Alone In Bed, To Find Her Gone.
She Had Been Kidnapped 3 Years Ago, And Harry Was Sure That By Now She Was Dead.
Hermione Was Still, After All This Time, Always On His Mind.
Harry Had Been Devastated When he Found The Letter From Voldemort.
He Had Loved Her, She had Meant More Than The World To Him.
Now, Three years later Harry Was Still Depressed About It.
Harry had Thought About Ending His Life Enough Times, It Was True.
But One Thing Always Stopped Him.
Whenever He held His Wand To His Head, As He Was About To Say Those Two Words, The Picture Of His Children Floated In.
Hermione Would Have Wanted Harry To Get On With Life And Find Someone Else, But No-One Could Replace
His Perfect 'Mione.
Harry Had Tried Looking For Hermione,
He Had Taken The Whole Force From His Department And Went In Search Of Her.
He Even Offered A 4,000,000 Galleon Reward To Anyone With Any Information.
Harry had Put Aside His Worries About Having To Murder Voldemort, He Was Now All Too Willing To Do The Deed.
At Moments Like The Present, When Harry Needed Closure, He Sent The Children To Hermione's Parents To Stay For A While.
Her Parents And Her Children Had Both Finally Accepted Her Death, A Feat Harry Couldn't Accomplish.
Harry had Tried More Than One Way To Kill Himself Over Those 3 Long Years Without Hermione.
The Most Memorable Was When He Was Going To Do It The Muggle Way,
Flashback
Harry Walked Out Of The Store With A Small Box In Hand.
He Walked Into A Dark Alley, And Flipped Open His Cell Phone.
He Rapidly Punched In Ron's Number.
"Ron Weasly" Came The Voice Of His Best Friend.
"Ron, You And Luna Take Care Of My Kids" Harry Said In A Hollow Tone.
Before Ron Could Say Anything Harry Flipped The Cell Phone Shut And Let It Fall To The Ground.
Harry Opened The Box And Pulled Out The 9mm Wesson 1056.
He Loaded The Gun And Removed The Safety.
He Hesitated A Minute Before Placing The Gun To His Head.
Suddenly He Heard A Crack, And Winced In Fear That He had Pulled The Trigger.
Then Ron Suddenly Appeared From Around The Corner.
"I Won't Let You Do It Mate, 'Mione Wouldn't Have Wanted It" Ron Stretched Out His hand,
"Give Me The Gun" He Said.
Harry Lowered The Gun, But Only To Take Aim At Ron.
"Damn It Ron, If You Try To Stop me I'll Kill You! I Swear I Will!" He Said, His Hand Shaking.
Ron Stopped Dead In His Tracks.
Harry Returned The Gun To The Position Near His Head And Squeezed The Trigger.
BAM! A Split Second Before The Gun Went Off, It Soared Out Of His Hand.
He Looked Back At Ron, Who Had His Wand Out.
"You'll Thank Me Someday" Ron Said Quietly.
Harry Slumped To The Ground And Leaned Against The Cool Alley Wall.
"Ron I Have No Reason To Live Without Her" He Said, Trying To Keep His Tears In.
Ron Knelt Beside Him, "It's Alright Mate, let It Out" He Said.
Harry Put His head In His Hands And Did, He Let Out The Tears He'd Been Holding.
Everytime He Cried He Felt Like He had Used All The Tears He had,
But He Always Managed To Generate More.
Ron Squeezed His Shoulder,
"Don't Hold It In Harry It's Alright, You may Have Lost Hermione But I'm Still Here" He Said.
Harry Gave Ron A Watery Smile, He Rarely Smiled Anymore, But He Smiled All The Same At His Best Friend.
"I Know Ron, Thank You" He Said.
End Of Flashback
Harry Did Thank Ron, The Moment He Saw His Children Again, He Thanked Ron Quietly.
Harry Was Suddenly Pulled Out Of His Memories By The Slamming Of The Door,
"DAD WE'RE HOME!" Came The Voice Of His Now 11-Year-Old Son Mark.
Harry Put Down The Picture Of Hermione He Had Been Looking At And Went Into The Living Room.
"You've Been Crying Again Haven't You Dad?" His Daughter Lily Asked.
Harry Nodded Slowly, "I Miss Your Mother So Much, But I'm Glad I Still Have You Three" He Said.
Harry Pulled His Children Into A Tight Hug, And When They Pulled Away He Smiled.
"I Still Have A Part Of Hermione In You Three" He Said.
Lily And Mark Would Be Starting Hogwarts In Two Weeks, And Anna Would Be In 2 Years.
"Did You Guys Give Your Teacher The Note From me?" Harry Asked.
"Yes Dad" Mark And Lily Answered In Unison.
Harry had Written A Note To Their Teacher Explaining That He Was Sending Them To Private School.
Harry Ran His Hand Through His Hair, And Remembered Something.
"Will You Guys Be Ok If I Leave You Alone For A While?" Harry Asked.
"We Should Be, Why?" Mark Asked.
"I Need To Go Somewhere, If I'm Not Back In 4 Hours Or If I Don't Call In 4 Hours Call And Tell Ron" Harry Said, Picking Up His Jacket And Putting It On.
He Walked Into The Kitchen, Popped Open A Drawer, And Pulled Out His Wand And Cell Phone.
"Dad, What's Going On?" Mark Asked In A Worried Tone.
"Don't Answer The Door If Anyone Comes, And Only Answer The Phone If It's Me, Ron, Or Luna" Harry Said.
"Dad, What's Going On?" Mark Asked Again.
"Nothing, Remember Everything I Told You, And Don't Be Afraid To Use Magic If Necessary" Harry Said, Throwing Open The Front Door.
Harry Shut And Locked The Door behind Him Before Apparating Into London.
Harry Pulled Out His Phone And Flipped It Open.
"831-2149" Harry Said As He Punched In The Number.
"Weasly Residence" Came Luna's Voice A Moment Later.
"Luna, It's Harry, Is Ron There?" Harry Asked.
"Oh Hi Harry, Hold On I Think He's Playing Quidditch With The Kids Out Back I'll Get Him" Luna Said.
Harry Smiled, Remembering Ron's Boyhood Enthusiasm For Quidditch.
Harry Waited About Three Minutes Before Ron Came On.
"Harry?" Ron Asked, "Mate, This Isn't Another Suicide Call Is It?"
"No Ron, I Have Something Very Important To Do, I Left The Kids At Home And They Are To Check In To You Ok?" Harry Said.
"Right Mate, I'll Just Send Luna Over There With Them" He Said.
"Ok, Thanks Ron, I'll Check In Every Four Hours Ok?" Harry Said.
"Right, Bye" Ron Said And Hung Up.
Harry Flipped His Phone Shut And Jammed It Into His Coat Pocket.
How Could Harry have Been So Stupid?
Wormtail Was In Azkaban, And He Owed Harry A Life Debt.
Dumbledore Was Right!
Flashback
"But I Stopped Sirius And Professor Lupin From Killing Pettigrew ! That Makes It My Fault If Voldemort Comes Back!" Harry Said.
"It Does Not" Said Dumbledore Quietly. "Hasn't Your Experience From The Time Turner Taught You Anything, Harry? The Consequences Of Our Actions Are Always So Complicated, So Diverse, That Predicting The Future Is A Very Difficult Business Indeed…. Professor Trelawney, Bless Her, Is Living Proof Of That…. You Did A Very Noble Thing In Saving Pettigrew's Life."
"But If He Helps Voldermort Back To Power-!"
"Pettigrew Owes His Life To You. You Have Sent Voldemort A Deputy That Is In Your Debt…. When One Wizard Saves Another Wizard's Life, It Creates A Certain Bond Between Them…. And I'm Very Much Mistaken If Lord Voldemort Wants A Servant That Is In The Debt Of Harry Potter" Dumbledore Said.
"I Don't Want A Connection To Pettigrew!" Said Harry. "He Betrayed My Parents!"
"This Is magic At its Deepest, Its Most Impenetrable, Harry. But Trust Me… The Time May Come When You Are Glad You Saved Pettigrew's Life.
End Of Flashback
At The Time Harry Couldn't Imagine When He Would Be Glad He Hadn't Let Pettigrew Die, But Now He Was Very Glad.
Harry Was Going To March Into Azkaban And Offer Wormtail A Deal.
Harry Apparated To His Office And Got A Permit To Visit Azkaban.
He Couldn't Apparate Into The Prison Itself Because Of All The Security, So He Apparated Into The Guest Entrance.
Harry Walked To The Guard And Showed His ID Badge And Pass.
"Go Right Ahead Mr. Potter" The Guard Said.
It Had Been Harry's Legislation That Removed Dementors From Azkaban And Put Hit Wizards In Their Place.
He Walked Into The Prison, Even Without Dementors, The Place Was Still Dark And Creepy.
You Could Hear The Prisoners Screaming Their Innocence.
The Only Place That Still Had Dementors Were The Heavily Guarded Cells, Like Pettigrew's.
Harry Walked Up 9 Flights Of Stairs Before He Reached Security Level A.
He Punched In The Security Codes And The Door Opened.
A Guard Checked His ID And Asked Who He Was Looking For.
"Peter Pettigrew" Harry Said.
"Cell X-3" The Guard Said.
Harry Nodded His Thanks And made His Way Down.
Z-9,Z-8,Z-7,Z-6, And So Forth Until He Reached X-3.
4 Dementors And 2 Hit Wizards Stood Outside Pettigrew's Cell.
Harry Showed His ID And The Guard Opened The Big Iron Door.
Harry Walked In And Lit His Wand.
Pettigrew Whirled Around.
He Was Different Then When Harry Had Last Seen Him.
He Was Still Short And Unclean, But He Was Thin And Had A Sunken Look That Had Set In From 2 Years In Azkaban.
He Fell At Harry's Feet And Started Blubbering.
"Get Up You Slimy, Filthy, Murdering, Scumbag" Harry Said, Kicking Him Hard In The Ribcage.
Wormtail Grunted, Falling Backwards.
"I SAID GET UP!" Harry Yelled.
Wormtail Hurried Up Off The Floor And Stood On Legs That Looked Like Jell-O.
"What? Come To Ruin My Life More?" Wormtail Hissed.
"No" Harry Said Coldly. "I Came To Save Your Life"
"What?" Wormtail Looked At Him Strangely, "Why?" He Asked.
"If You Can Tell Me What I Want To Know, I'll Let You Out" Harry Said.
"What If I Don't?" Pettigrew Asked.
"I Have Authorization To Use Unforgivable Curses On Criminals" Harry Said.
Pettigrew's Eyes Opened Wide In Fear.
"W-W-What Do You Want To K-K-Know?" He Stuttered.
"Number 1, Is Hermione Still Alive?" Harry Asked.
"The Dark Lord Said He Wouldn't Kill Her" Harry Could Tell He Wasn't Lying.
"Number 2, How Is She Being Treated?" Harry Asked.
"She Is Being Fed Once A Month, Watered Once A Week, Bathed Once A Month" Pettigrew Said.
Harry Wanted To Unleash His Fury On The Stuttering Man Before Him, How Could Anyone Treat His Angel Like That?
"What Are Her Comfort Accommodations?" Harry Asked, Dreading The Answer.
"When Not Being Used, She Is Hung By Her Wrists In The Dungeon." He Said.
"What Does That mean, Being Used?" Harry Asked Wrathfully.
"Being Played With By The Death Eaters That Have Low Morale, She's The Comfort They Have" Pettigrew Stuttered.
"YOU MEAN THEY'RE RAPING MY WIFE?" Harry Roared With A Fury he Didn't Know He Could Possess.
"That's A Way To Put It Bluntly" Wormtail Whispered.
"SHUT UP YOU BASTARD!" Harry Screamed.
Harry Couldn't Take It Anymore, He Needed To vent His Anger.
He Whipped Out His Wand And Aimed It At A Cringing Pettigrew.
"CRUCIO!" He Bellowed.
After 3 Minutes Of Pettigrew's Pained Shrieks And Screams Harry Lifted His Wand.
"WHERE IS SHE?" He Roared.
"A Small Island Off The Coast Of France" Pettigrew Said.
Harry Opened The Cell Door And Stormed Out.
"Let Him Go" Harry Said With Such An Aura, That No Questions Were Asked.
Harry Stalked Back To The Lobby And Apparated Home.
Harry Unlocked His Front Door, And Walked In.
Luna Was Sitting In Hermione's Rocker Reading A Book.
"The Children Are Asleep" She Said Without Looking Up.
Harry Sat Down On The Couch Across From Her.
"Luna Do You Mind Staying Here For A Couple Of Days? Or Letting Them Stay With You A Few Days?" Harry Asked, Pleading With His Eyes.
"No I Don't Mind" She Said, "Why?"
Harry Simply Answered, "I've Found Hermione"
A/N: Well I Hope You Liked It Enough To Keep Reading, I Know It's A Little Soon To Find 'Mione But It Takes Him A While To Find The Island, And Longer To Actually Find Hermione.
The Suicide Attempt With Harry Was Based Off Something My Mom's Best Friend Just Did A Couple Of Weeks Ago.
And I Thought It Would be Good To Add The Life Debt Thing In There.
(Yes I Copied Word For Word From The English Edition Of The POA Book, Ch.22 Pg.426-427)
This Story May Not Measure Up To The First One So Far, But It's Going To Get Better.
This Story Was Originally One Of Those Stories Where Hermione Dies And Harry Finds Her Diary, But I Decided To Re-Write It As A Sequel To My First Fan Fic- The Worst Summer And The Best Year.
Sorry About The Caps Locking Every Word, I Won't Do It In The Next Chapter.
If You Read My First Story, I Got A Bunch Of Bad Reviews About Doing That.
Ok 1 Rule For This Story Please: NO EFFING FLAMES! OR I WILL NOT CONTINUE
Ok Thanks Have A Nice Day.
