A/N: Come take a journey with me. I am focusing on Bella/Hermione in this story but I'm full of surprises. Look for Draco, Narcissa, Lucius and some others to pop up time to time. Expect the unexpected. Every chapter is based on a deity or constellation of some sort. Words in italics also ties in. Well, enjoy the story.

Disclaimer: Harry Potter does NOT belong to me. If it did, Bella and Mione would have totally got it on...and Ginny would be dead... but ehhh

And the story begins...

Lost In The Stars

Athena

Sleep would not come for the young witch. She had been tossing and turning all night. Her body ached and her mind wandered. It was already three o'clock, so she figured she would go down and get a snack. She walked down the insulting steps, careful not to surprise the others. Much to her surprise she saw another occupant in the kitchen.

"Couldn't sleep either?" Hermione asked.

Harry turned around, startled. He had assume that everyone was asleep. "Hermione, you startled me. I didn't know anyone else was up."

Walking to the fridge, she retrieved some juice. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to sneak up on you."

"It's quite alright" He gave her a small smile. "You should be resting. What is troubling you?" He asked, going back to his duties.

"You know very well what is troubling me." She sighed, leaning against the counter.

She was right, he did know. The upcoming task was overwhelming. "Hermione, you do not have to do this." There are other options."

She shook her head. "We are not making any progress, Harry." Mad eye and the rest are at dead ins."

"We can think of an alternative, we just need time." He offered, taking a seat.

"Time is not on our side. Voldemort's next attack will be catastrophic. We need the upper hand and with Voldemort recruiting more followers we can work from the inside."

Harry took a drink, absorbing what Hermione had said. She was right but he still feared for her safety. "Are you going to be ready?"

She knew sooner or later she was going to be asked that question. "I have to be." She said getting up. "I think I'm going to head in, get a few hours of sleep."

Harry nodded. "Okay. Hermione, we are all behind you."

"I know, Harry. Thank you." She smiled. "Goodnight."

"Good night." He replied as he saw Hermione ascend the steps. He could not help but to feel hopeless. Here he was, the boy who lived, and he couldn't do anything. Hermione was the only hope.

Hermione sat on her bed. She was eager to go to sleep, but her mind would not let her. She kept thinking of what was to come. Yesterday was altering. It all started at the Order meeting. She knew things were getting bad, but this was different. Voldemort was recruiting new members. The Aurors were at a road block. Little information was known about Voldemort's plan, but they did know is that whatever it was it was going to devastate the wizarding world. The elder members informed them that someone needed to get inside, but in order to do that they would need to disguise there self and join Voldemort. It was a tough mission, but it was the only way since Severus was no where to be found, possibly dead. Harry, of course, was the first one to volunteer and was immediately shut down due to the great danger. We could not offered to have Harry so close to Voldemort. They went down the line. Remus was out of the question and so was Tonks since she was with child. Molly refused to let her children and husband participate. Mad-eye couldn't handle it we all agreed, of course he tried too change our minds. They needed someone with strength, knowledge, strategy and skill. That's when she came in. She was to take poly-juice potion. A hair from Fenella Alexander, a witch who was to be recruited by Voldemort. He had sent her out on a small mission but she was quickly captured by Aurors who interrogated. When she looked at it, everything was laid out. It was a dangerous mission but it was the only way. Friday she would take the first step for her mission. She had to do it. She had to lay her life on the line so that the world can survive.
