DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER

"Harry!"

Hermione was tugging at his sleeve, staring at her watch. "We've got exactly ten minutes to get back down to the hospital wing without anybody seeing us — before Dumbledore locks the door -"

"OK," said Harry, wrenching his gaze from the sky, "let's go …" As they rushed through the halls Hermione muttered to Harry,

"Why do you think that Dumbledore sent us here anyway, would it not have been better for him to take the time turner and leave?" Harry shrugged and picked up the pace

"Not now Hermonie, we have to hurry" The flung themselves around the next corner before ducking through a passage hidden behind a tapestry. They heard Peeves cackling down the hallway behind them but ignored his happy cries.

"He must be in a good mood because he thinks the dementors are going to finish off Sirius" Hermione muttered breathing heavily. Harry scowled before bursting out of the passage right a Dumbledore made to lock the door.

"We did it Professor" Hermione exclaimed, but the professor just shook his head and closed the door. The two had just made it back to their beds when Madam Pomfrey came out of her office scowling. Harry had just had a large chunk of chocolate stuffed down his throat when a loud cry of

"POTTER" Echoed through the hospital wing and Harry exchanged a glance with Hermonie. Suddenly the doors burst open with a crash and Snape yelled at Harry

"OUT WITH IT, POTTER!" he bellowed. "WHAT DID YOU DO?"

"Professor Snape!" shrieked Madam Pomfrey. "Control yourself!"

"See here, Snape, be reasonable," said Fudge. "This door's been locked, we just saw —"

"THEY HELPED HIM ESCAPE, I KNOW IT!" Snape howled, pointing at Harry and Hermione. His face was twisted; spit was flying from his mouth.

"Calm down, man!" Fudge barked - but Harry got to his feet, ignoring Madam Pomfrey's protests.

"Listen here Snape, I'm done with you and I'm done with this school, You bully mock and make fun of my friends and me, ignoring the fact that I am not my Father." He yelled at Snape who had been stunned into silence.

"Harry my boy, If I could just say," Professor Dumbledore said soothingly to Harry who ignored him

"I AM DONE WITH IT DO YOU HEAR ME! I QUIT I RESIGN, WHATEVER I'M LEAVING GOT IT" Harry bellowed before turning to Hermione, "If you and Ron want to stay that's perfectly fine with me, we can still be mates, but if you want to come with you're welcome".

"Um", Hermione whispered looking back at Ron before standing up, "I'm with you Harry" She finished, "If you leave then I'm coming with" Harry looked back at Ron for a minute before nodding.

"I'll be in my dorms packing, I'm finished with this cold, dangerous castle." Hermonie nodded and the two walked quickly out of the hospital wing to go pack.

Up in the dorm Harry carefully placed the invisibility cloak that Hermonie had summoned into his trunk. However, as he picked up his Firebolt and set it on the top Ron stepped into the room.

"Harry what happened, I was free to go so I headed up here, and the Hermonie said that the two of you are leaving why?" Harry looked up to see Ron, His blue eyes filled with confusion and quickly filled him in.

"So do you want to leave with us" Harry murmured, "I understand if you want to stay, your family and all - "

"Harry" Ron interrupted looking slightly hurt, "You're my family too. You're my best friend and I'm not staying at Hogwarts without you."

"Oh Ron," Harry smiled, "You have no idea how much that means to me" Ron smiled before the two of them carefully combed the dorm before stepping out for the last time. Outside the common room, however, Harry stopped short turning to look at Ron and Hermonie

"I have no idea where to go, or even how to get wherever that is" He muttered staring at the ground. Suddenly a dreamy voice called

"I can help you Harry" all three jumped before Harry spotted a small blonde Ravenclaw towards the end of the corridor.

Somehow 10 minutes later the Luna, Ron, and Hermonie were riding on invisible ( to Ron and Hermione that is ) as Harry flew next to them on his Firebolt.

"Luna, don't you want to head back to Hogwarts," Hermione asked before the young girl shook her head,

"No, I was planning to leave tonight anyways, I hate it at Hogwarts. Everyone would make fun of me and steal my stuff, I'm sick of it all. Where are you heading off to?" Harry shrugged

"I was going to book 2 rooms in the Leaky Cauldron and then head to Gringotts in the morning. Hagrid once mentioned something about my family owning a manor in Ireland - "

"Harry your Scar" Hermonie cried Harry held his hand up to his forehead and it came back down with blood dripping from the, now open wound.

What happened is that when Harry cast the Patronus charm, this time he was a bit slower and received the kiss. However, instead of sucking out his soul the Dementor sucked out the Horcrux. Sorry to spoil things but this will save me a lot of time, later on, basically Harry isn't a Horcrux.
