Harry slumped to the ground moaning and screaming in pain, he clutched his forehead as he curled into a ball on the ground..
"What's happening to him?" Ron gasped running over to his friend who was squirming on the ground.
"He's inside Voldermort's head." Lupin said gazing down at Harry.
"Well can you get him out?" Ron shouted running a hand through his hair.
"No..." Lupin trailed off and looked out the window "We are going to have to leave soon."
The sky outside began to darken as the moon rose into the sky. Harry's screaming stopped and he rolled onto his back panting and out of breath, he was staring blankly at the ceiling.
"Is he out of it?" Fred asked deadly serious, no humour in his voice.
"No, look at his eyes" Madeye Moody said. They each in turn leant over Harry. His eyes were their usual green but instead of there being a rounded pupil it was a slit, just like a cats and just like Voldemorts. Ron's jaw hit the floor as he gasped out in shock.
Harry carried on screaming and twisting on the floor for over an hour. Lupin began to get more agitated as the clock on the wall ever so slowly ticked down the minutes.
"We have to go save Hermione!" Harry gasped as he sat up on the floor. Everyone stared at Harry his hair was sticking to his slick wet forehead.
"What was that son?" Madeye asked crouching down beside Harry.
"Hermione, she's in trouble" he said hoarsely.
"We can't go save her, we need to get you to the Burrow." Lupin said pulling out glasses from deep inside his cloak. Filling each with a liquid, one that Harry and Ron knew ever so well. It was Polyjuice Potion. "We're going to go as Harry, so get drinking up!" Lupin handed the glasses round to the surrounding people, Ron eyed warily reliving his gruesome encounter in the past.
By the time Harry had fully recovered, he was surrounded by identical Harry's all bearing the same resemblance.
"You guys shouldn't be doing this! We have to save Hermione" Harry said jumping to his feet.
"Harry, you are a higher priority." Mr Weasley said walking over and placing a comforting hand on his shoulder. "I'm sorry."
"Its because she's a muggle born isn't it? She doesn't get the same priorities as a pure blood...Right?" Harry growled, bunching his fists.
Mr Weasley sighed heavily "It isn't that."
Harry knew differently, no matter who you were. Pure bloods got higher priority. Harry walked out of the house in silence.
"'Ow are ya 'arry?" Hagrid boomed from his seat on the motor bike.
"Fine." He spat getting into the side cart.
The motor bike roared to life and in a matter if moments Hagrid had it up in the sky. A single feeling in the back of Harry's mind reminded him of his previous thoughts. Guilt.
oOoOo
Hermione stepped into her house, kicking her shoes off by the front door as she walked deeper into the house. No noise came from anywhere; she had left earlier to go to the shops to buy food for dinner.
"Hermione is that you?" her mother called from the lounge her voice wavered, and Hermione knew something was wrong.
She drew out her wand as she called out "Yes?" she moved towards the open door, she gasped at the sight before her.
Her parents were pinned to the wall with a binding curse, and surrounding them were death eaters.
"Let them go!" She shouted as they rounded on her.
One grinned down at her "We will when you give us information on when Harry is being moved" Dolohov said moving to the front of the crowd.
"N-no...I can't betray my friends...I-I..." Hermione stumbled over her words, glancing wildly around the room.
"Well if you don't, we will just have to force it out of you" Dolohov said laughing at her. He pointed his wand at her chest. "Crucio"
Hermione fell to the ground screaming in pain, tears spilling down her cheeks as an unnatural fire burned her nerves.
"What did I tell you, about waiting until I got here?" A snide voice said.
Hermione looked up through a curtain of hair, it was Voldermort, she cringed back against the wall as her body throbbed in pain.
"Let me try, when is Harry Potter being moved?" he pointed his wand at her as his eyes glowed an intense red.
She screamed again as pain soared through her body. "I won't tell." She moaned clutching her stomach.
"Well, if this won't work then maybe this will" Voldermort said as he turned to her parents. "Avada Kedavra!"
Hermione screamed as her father dropped to the ground, his eyes blank to the world, not a single worry.
"No! NO!" Hermione screamed as he pointed his wand at her mother, who caught her eye she mouthed I love you before she glared at Voldermort.
"Crucio." Voldermort spat. Hermione's mother let out a shrill scream as the curse wrapped itself around her body.
"No!" Hermione sobbed. "Please don't hurt my mother."
Voldermort turned to Hermione and yanked her head back by her hair. Hermione screamed in pain as she felt individual strands being pulled from her skin. Blood trickled down her forehead as more hairs were pulled free.
"When?" he growled.
"They, they..." Hermione panted trying to get a hold of her scrambled thoughts.
"Hermione, baby, don't!" Mrs Granger shouted at her daughter.
Hermione stared at her mother, pale and pinned to a wall. Brought into the wizarding world because of her daughter. "Mum, don't please, I love you."
Voldermort let go of Hermione and pushed her to the carpet before walking over to Hermione's mother. "Avada Kedavra" He screamed, her mother dropped to the ground.
Hermione sobbed and began to move towards Voldermort, but Dolohov held her back "NO! NO-OO!" she said struggling against his harsh grip.
"No...no.." she sobbed sinking to the ground.
"Tell us when he is being moved!" Voldermort yelled, Hermione screamed as pain pulsed through her body. She squeezed her eyes closed, trying to block the pain from her body. Trying to create any form of barrier...
"What is going on here?" a voice asked.
Hermione peered through her hair to see Proffessor Snape walk into her living room. Voldermort turned to him.
"She isn't telling us when they are moving the boy." He said.
Snape walked over to Hermione, who lay weakly on the carpet. "Well it's no use torturing her." He said. "I've just learnt that he is being moved tonight. If we are quick, we can still catch him before he is moved to the safe hosue."
"Are you really going to believe this piece of shit?" Dolohov shouted.
"Shut it." Voldermort yelled at Dolohov. "He's been a lot more use than you."
"Shall we get moving?" Snape asked.
Voldermort nodded and drew his wand. "It won't hurt to kill a single Mudblood." He said "Fiendfyre!"
Fire shot out of the tip of his wand forming a glowing serpent. All the death eaters' disappreated.
"Goodbye Mudblood." Voldermort said vanishing on the spot. Finir Greyback stepped out of the shadows and knelt down beside Hermione's limp figure, he grabbed her wrist and bit down hard marvelling in the taste of her blood before standing up.
"Have a nice life beautiful." Finir laughed as he smashed the lounge window and stepped out into the night.
Hermione tried to move herself into a sitting position but her body throbbed and she couldn't make sense of her surroundings. The fire blended into the house as the smoke burned her throat and tore at her eyes. Her eyes streamed as she felt for her wand, when she had a firm grip on it she crawled forwards. She could no longer feel the pain as she slowly made her way towards the back door through the flickering flames.
Her fingers grasped the door handle and she screamed out in pain as her hand sizzled on the metal, the smell of her own burning flesh filled her nostrils and she was promptly sick on the ground before her. She tried to move her hand from the piece of metal but the melted flesh stuck strongly to it. Moaning in pain Hermione pushed her weak body against the door.
It crumbled at her touch and she fell to the patio surrounding the house. She screamed in pain as her skin was yanked from the door handle. The stones of the patio were cool against her charred skin.
She carried on moving through the flames which had taken form of a Chimera, it danced before her as she crawled across the stone. She wasn't sure what she was heading to as her mind kept on flashing images of her parents death. Her crawl came to a halt as she fell into the pond at the base of the patio, she slipped into the cold water. Rolling onto her back she sunk into the gratefulness of unconsciousness.
oOoOo
"You have to go get Hermione!" Harry said as the last of the Order came through the back door of the Burrow.
"Yes we will go now" Lupin said placing a reassuring hand on his shoulder. Lupin, Tonks, Mr Weasley and Ron began to head towards the door of the Burrow, arming themselves with their wands and multiple knives from the kitchen drawers.
"I'm coming too." Harry said quickly throwing his jacket over his shoulders.
"Harry, you have to stay here in the Burrow where it is safe" Mr Weasley said.
"Ron Billius Weasley you are not accompanying your father either!" Mrs Weasley said running forward.
"Mum! Its Hermione!" Ron said staring hard at his mother.
Mrs Weasley stared back, but she could tell Ron was devastated. She knew deep down that anyone would do anything for the person they loved. Mrs Weasley's mothers instinct was that Ron loved Hermione and there was no stopping him. "Arthur take good care of him" Mrs Weasley said as the four wizards disaperated.
As Ron landed on the pavement something felt terribly wrong, that feeling intensified as everyone gasped in shock. Floating above a burned patch of land was the dark mark.
"Hermione!" Ron yelled rushing towards the little pixie gate once white now charcoal black, it strained on its hinges as Ron tore through it.
"Ron! Come back here! We need to check the surroundings!" Lupin shouted coming up behind him.
"Let him be," Tonks said patting Lupin's tense shoulder "It's ok, I don't think anyone would hang around."
The burnt remains of the house crunched beneath his shoes "Hermione!" he shouted picking up his pace. "Oh, god...this is terrible!" Tonks sobbed, Lupin wrapped her into a tight embrace. "She will be alright" Lupin tried reassuring her.
They moved through the wreckage "I found something!" Mr Weasley said sifting through the rubble at his feet "Errugh!" he gasped as melted flesh came into view. He turned around and heaved into the wreckage.
"You ok dad?" Ron asked moving over and staring at the remains of the body.
"It looks like her parents" Lupin said picking out a silver bracelet "Hermione ever wear that?"
Ron looked at the dainty bracelet slightly marked with soot. "She never wore this...I-I'm certain" he croaked as he pocketed the bracelet.
They split up to cover more ground, Ron moved towards the back of the property. Watching his step he picked his way across the burnt remains. A piece of pillar ran along the edge of the burnt house, he could hear the lapping of water through the silent night. He followed the sound around the pillar. He came to a small pool glistening red in the moonlight, he gasped out in shock as his eyes fell on the black outline floating in the water "Hermione!" He shouted dropping to his knees and reaching into the glistening pool.
A/N:
Well I just reread this story. Omg it was so badly written. I don't think I had even bothered to spell check it. That is muchly embarrassing. Well guys here is a redone/ re-updated chapter 1.
Hopefully it is much nicer to read and there aren't as many spelling errors.
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
