"Hey babe." Harry said to Hermione as he descended the stairs into the common room. She looked up at him and blushed. He took in the surprisingly clean common room (considering there had been a party the night before). Hermione got up as he reached the recliner. She immediately threw her arms around his neck and lightly kissed him on the lips. "Last night was kinda wild." He made a face at her, "No it wasn't... Is that. Neville?!" She followed his gaze to where Neville was indeed duct taped upside down on the wall above the common room entrance. "Let's get out of here I have a plan to get the whole castle." Harry said putting his arms around her waist and leading towards the Great Hall.

"YOU WANT TO WHAT?!" Hermione almost shouted to Harry. "Simple. I want to start spreading the rumour that this Saturday morning the world will end. You remember the Mayans prediction right? December 21st the world will end." Harry whispered to her. "Harry. Saturday's December 22nd an... Oh wait." She made a oh face. "That's right." "The international date line." She said as she did a face palm. "Uh huh. The 22nd for us in the eastern hemisphere but..." Harry started and Hermione finished by saying, "The 21st for the rest. But Harry do we really want to subject the castle to this?" Draco suddenly appeared out of nowhere. "Hey you mudblood dog." He said as he passed. "Let's do it. Hey Draco. I have something important to tell you." He stopped just as he reached the head table where Professor Umbridge was waiting for him. "Yes Granger. What is it?" "Do you know anything about an ancient pureblood promoting civilization called the Mayans?" When he nodded yes she continued. "Well there has been a discovery. They've discovered that the Mayans ultimate prediction was true. The world is ending this Saturday." At this Hermione started crying. She collapsed to her knees sobbing uncontrollably. "The world is ending and I can't even make it to my parents to see them. Harry decided he'd better just follow her lead and immediately ran to her side. He hugged her and started rocking her back and forth. He then yelled, "Why god? Why? Why do you have to end it now. There's so much I wanted to do. Why...?" Harry then broke down in tears as students around them started to cry as well. Draco stood there stunned before finally shouting, "I have a plan to save us all!" "What is it wise Draco?" Came a shout from Crabbe. Draco threw up his finger and shot his arm in the sky. "I'LL SEND A LETTER TO MY FATHER TELLING HIM TO FIX IT FOR ME?! All sound stopped as Draco strutted out of the hall humming to himself 'I am a genius.' "Oh my God. Please tell me he's as stupid as they get." Hermione giggled into Harry's neck. Just them Ronald came walking in. "DUDES DRACO JUST SAID THE THE WORLD IS ENDING. REPENT THE END IS NIGH... oh hey food." Harry rolled his eyes as Ron began stuffing his face.

"Oh my goodness this class is taking a thousand hours." Harry moaned as his head dropped onto the desk. "Is there something you would like to add to this discussion Mr. Potter?" Professor Umbridge said. "Only that it sucks that my last three days on Earth involve being within 200 miles of you." Umbridge's face suddenly became soft. "Ah yes. About that. I alerted our great Minister Fudge about the worlds impending doom and he had this message to pass on to the world of magic. You all have done so much to make Magical Britain the upstanding community it is. We shall face this shadow and threat together. In light of this impending tragedy I have issued a blanket pardon on every citizen. Excluding those already in Azkaban. Also this Blanket Pardon includes Sirius Black and Lord Voldemort, as it appears that He who must not be named has indeed returned. As I said we shall face this tragedy as one. Hogwarts shall remain open so that the students may stick together as one. Be safe and God bless us everyone." Everyone stared at her like she was crazy. Practically all the purebloods broke down crying at the fact that they had to stay in the castle. Harry and Hermione just stared. "One on hand Sirius is a free man, on the other hand Voldemort is given a pardon?! He's mental he is." The loud speaker suddenly came to life as Dumbledore's voice boomed through the room, "All students please report to the Great Hall for a early lunch and a special announcement." When everyone got up and started to leave Hermione pulled me aside. "Harry this has gotten too big too fast. How do we stop it?" Harry chuckled a bit before answering his girlfriend. "Simple. We don't. This is awesome. Sirius is free, nobody thinks I'm crazy anymore, Draco's apparently going crazy, Dumbledore is still ignoring me which is fine by me, and now maybe Voldemort won't be as sadistic when he hears Fudge make his announcement." Hermione cuddles into Harry's side as they rejoin the group of students heading toward the Great Hall.
······
Fudge's speech had ended and the hall erupted into pandemonium. There was screaming and crying going on around. Harry and Hermione made a beeline for the doorway. Harry tripped over Terry Boot who was crawling away. "Save me." Daphne Greengrass grabbed his ankles and started dragging him back. "NO! PLEASE DEAR LORD! NOOOOOO!" He screamed all the way. Harry and Hermione took off in a dead run. "Exit exit exit." Hermione muttered as they leapt a couple of downed and or hiding students before leaping through the exit. Unfortunately for Severus he happened to be standing there at the time. All three went down in a heap. "POTTER!" Harry disentangled himself from everyone just as a yellow beam shot past him and impacted Severus. His head snapped back as the spell impacted him. Suddenly all went quite as Severus growled. You could hear a pin drop as he spoke with a demonic voice, "Who did that?" A whimper was heard from the hall as Severus pulled out his wand and made his way into the Great Hall shutting the doors behind him. "Maybe we should leave." Hermione whispered to Harry. "I don..." Screams started erupting from behind the doors. "Let's go now shall we?" And with Harry and Hermione high tailed it to the Gryffindor common room.

Meanwhile somewhere in northern Britain a man by the name of Tom Malavo Riddle or as the world knows him Lord Voldemort was currently in the process of sitting in his throne unable to make a decision. His existence was just broadcasted all across magical Britain, but it would appear that his name was just cleared of all criminal charges. Although non of this was making it to his brain. All that was repeating in his brain was the phrase, 'The world will end this Saturday at dawn. Ministry unspeakables confirmed it.' "So. This Saturday the world as we know it will end. Dang it! I won't be able to rule it. I won't be able to kill Harry Potter before the end." Voldemort continued ponder on it as some deatheaters assembled. When he finally noticed them he realized he really didn't have any plans for them. "Are these the people that are here during the day? I've really been out of it. Ummm... if your wondering about plans for devastation I'm fresh out. Let's call it even with the light side okay. Your dismissed." Voldemort got up and left leaving the stunned deatheaters in his wake. Finally Lucius Malfoy leaned over to Dwalish and whispered, "Umm... did we just get fired? Or are we all dead and this is the afterlife? Cause if this is the afterlife please kill me again." Dwalish simply shook his head and walked away. "Hey. Hey! Don't leave me alone here. This place freaks me out." Dwalish shook his head again and replied to Malfoy, "Hey. Don't you live here?" "That's not the point Dwalish!" Every one apperated away as Malfoy was left alone in his house when a demonic voice sounded, "Get out." "WHO ARE YOU?!" Lucius shouted at the top of his lungs.
Night of the First day
60 hours remain

"Do you think it's safe?" Hermione whispered as she peeked her head over her and Harry's makeshift barricade. They had sealed off Harry's dormitory with some beds and dressers and had then flipped over some more dressers to make a fort in which to hide. They had even stashed Harry's firebolt and Hermione's firebolt that she had gotten last year next to the window for a quick exit if it came to that. "Harry had been watching the barricaded entrance for the last six hours, "I haven't heard and sounds. But then for all we know that's either good or bad." Hermione nodded and started to get up. "Come on let's get going, but first." She waved her wand shrinking her broom. Harry copied her example shrinking down his trunk (that he had already packed) and Hermione's trunk and placing them in his pockets. "Okay let's go." Harry then moved the barricade so that Harry and Hermione could fit through the doorway. The entered the common room and were greeted with the sight of some bruised and battered students. They then heard some giggling and turned to see a lighter, some balloons, and the Weasley twins cuddled with some other people giggling to each other. "What in the name of some random noun is going on here?!" Hermione muttered. "Let's get out of here." Harry whispered. And together they ran out of the common room.
As they made their way toward the Great Hall they passed many strange happenings. For example they saw Susan Bones using her wand to spray paint the phrase, 'Puff for Life' all over the wall. "That's something you don't see everyday." Harry said. They entered the Great Hall and saw that it was not at all damaged surprisingly. "I figured this place would've been a warzone... WHAT IN THE NAME OF QUENTIN TARANTINO IS HE DOING HERE?!" Harry shouted both pulling and aiming his wand Voldemort, who was sitting at the Slytherin table without a care in the world. Dumbledore immediately answered, "Harry you need to learn forgiveness especially when you hear as to why he's here. All Tom has ever wanted to do is teach defense against the dark arts. That is why he was so evil, because I denied him that teaching position. So I let him teach for the day. He is now no longer holding a grudge against us here at Hogwarts so I have decided to live and let live... for the next couple of days at least. Also in case you were wondering were your parents are currently trying to get a petition for your immediate release into their custody but the minister is amendment that some normalcy is necessary to maintain order. I'm sorry to those who wanted to go home but the minister is not moving from that stance."
Hermione sat down as her knees could no longer hold her up. She hid her face in Harry's shoulder and everyone assumed she was crying as tears were evident and visible before she hid her face. Harry knew different, she was laughing her butt off and Harry was having trouble keeping a straight face. They sat there until dinner was finished. They both then took off back to their hideout and redid the barricade. "At least this way nobody can get to us... I hope." Harry said as Hermione put the finishing touches on their bed. He crawled in and cuddled up with her and soon was asleep.
