Hermione was cowering behind Harry. It was Voldemort, back and better than ever. He towered above them, grinning a real evil grin and laughing shrilly. Petigrew poked his head out from behind him, and his face, too, broke into a meek sort of evil grin. He laughed a shy laugh, happy, I suppose, that he had served his master so well.

Harry had done his best, but with Voldemort in his own body, he had collapsed. He was leaning on his elbow now, Hermione sitting with her legs tucked under her and leaning on his shoulders.

"Oh, help," Hermione whimpered in a near silent voice, "oh,"

Then, she had a wonderful idea. It all came to her, all the books she had read concerning how Harry had beat Voldemort at age 1. She had totry this, there was no other way...

Hermione ran forward. Voldemort was so shocked, he froze. Petigrew stopped his little grin to peer at her, craning his neck, so that he looked exactly like the rat he had been. Hermione, realizing she was betting everything, ran forward and...

"I love you!" she cried, hugging Voldemorts arm.

"Aaaaaarrrrrrgggggghhhhhh!" Voldemort sank slowly into the floor, Petigrew jumping back to keep from catching on fire as Voldemort's empty robes burst into flame.

Hermione was awarded 75 house points for the defeat of a dark wizard and quick thinking.
