Hermione POV

"Can you believe that it's been over a year since the battle at Hogwarts?" asks Ron to me as we sit in his living room by the fire one night. My head on his lap while he strokes my hair.

"I can't believe it Ron." That's all I can say. So much has happened since then. Harry and Ron became aurors for the ministry and Ginny and Harry started dating. Plus Ron and I started dating. I yawn.

"Is somebody tired?" he asks teasing me.

"I've been up studying for my N.E.W.T.S." I tell him.

"Well then go to bed. You better keep studying hard." Ron says as he leans down and kisses me on the lips.

I smile and get up. "Are you coming in tonight or no?" I ask him. Sometimes he sneaks into the room I share with Ginny and sleeps with me and then wakes up early to go back to his room so nobody knows.

"Uhhhh well no not tonight Mione." He says.

"Well then goodnight." I say and kiss him before heading upstairs to catch up on some much needed sleep.

Hours Later

I toss and turn in bed. My dream is so weird. I see a man walking out of the swamps at the burrow with his wand raised. I hear him shout a curse and I see a green flash of light before I see Ron lying on the ground covered in blood not moving. I scream and shake his body and try to wake him up but he doesn't.

"Hermione! Hermione wake up!"

I open my eyes and see Ginny standing over me. "It's a bad dream Hermione it isn't real."

"I-I need a drink and then I'm gonna go talk to Ron." I say fleeing to the kitchen before Ginny has a chance to ask what the dream is about. I walk into the kitchen and see a letter on the table.

Dear Everyone,

We just got an urgent owl from the ministry sending us after a new dark wizard named Wormalort. The ministry thinks he is trying to repeat acts that Voldemort did. We got this owl pretty late and didn't want to wake anyone to say goodbyes. Hopefully we will have caught him by Christmas so we can spend it together. We will be back before you know it.

Lots of Love,

Ron and Harry.

P.S. Attached is a flyer of the guy we are after so if you see him contact someone at once.

I look at the flyer and I see the same guy from my dream that killed Ron. I then hear a girl screaming. Like she was being murdered. It wasn't until everyone was in the kitchen that I realized I was the one screaming.
