I do not own any of the Harry Potter things that I have mentioned. Although I do own Destiny.Stepping into the darkness of the Gryffindor common room Harry slumped in to a red chair
"Crap!" he said and picked up one of the near by pillows and threw it at the portrait hole. He felt a tear creeping over the edge of his swollen eye. Sat down on a couch in the deserted commen room and felt darkness come over him. Then he fell into a deep dreamless sleep.
* * *
Harry awoke in a cold sweat. His head hurt as if someone had hit him over the head with a hammer. His right eye was stinging and he had a big bruise on his stomach. Slowly things about the day before came back to him. Hermione was gone and so was Ron. He was alone.
He went up to the boy's dorms, and went up to his room. Every thing was the same.. As if nothing had changed. His picture of Hermione was still sitting there untouched. It was his 7th year in Hogwarts and him and Hermione had been dating for the 2 years and where deeply in love.
Harry slowly pulled off his tattered cloak and slipped out of his shirt, being careful about the bruise on his stomach. Then he pulled off his shoes and flopped down on his bed. Which wasn't a good idea considering his head hurt more then before. Harry couldn't fight back the tears any longer. He picked up the picture of Hermione and started to cry. He had to tell Ron's girl friend, Destiny about what happened.. she would take it worse then he is. They had been dating ever since the summer of their 4th year. He knew he must have looked and sounded like a small child. But the feeling of never being able to see Hermione again hurt more then he ever thought possible. He cried him self to sleep. And he dreamt about what had happened the day before.
"Harry!" Hermione screamed.
"Shut up you god damned bitch." Said a cloaked figure. This clocked figure was about 6ft 3 and in about his mid 40's.
Hermione was tied up to a chair. The figure stroked her face. Hermione flinched.
"So young… so fair." he drawled. Hermione sat there thinking of a spell to untie the ropes. She thought how she could have possibly gotten her self into this mess?
Just then Ron walked into the abandoned classroom. "Herms, how do you…" he dropped the book that he was carrying and garbed for his wand. He glared at the clocked figure with such hatred. "Untie her." Ron demanded.
The figure laughed a laugh that seemed to echo through the room. "Foolish boy. You have no idea what you just got yourself into." The figure lifted his hand and clenched it into a fist that seemed to have a death grip on the air. Just as quickly as he grabbed his wand he feel into a heap on the floor. The figure turned his head to Hermione who was now crying. He walked over to her. He lifted his hand and pulled out the crying girl's hair tie. Her brown hair fell to full length.
"Leave… me… alone." She said threw gritted teeth. Her eyes full of hatred. She felt a rush of adrenaline and kicked the figure in the knees.
Hermione now turned her gaze to the door. There harry stood. She had never had been happier to see him then she was at that moment. Harry ran into the room and pulled out his wand and pointed it at the chin of the figure.
"What in the hell do you think you are fucking doing?" he asked.
"The boyfriend I presume?" he chuckled. "What does it look like I'm doing?" he said as he flung his arm out, knocked the wand out of Harry's grasp and punched him in the face. Harry retaliated with a swift kick in the legs of his appoint. "You fight well.. It's a pity I have to do this." The figure snapped and three men came out of the darkness and beat Harry until he was nothing more then a lump on the floor.
"Harry!!" Hermione cried out. "No," she sobbed. "I love you harry! Come find me" she cried.
Harry fought to keep consciousness. He managed to whisper "I love you to Herms.. I always will." Then darkness took him over. When he managed to awake he was alone. He scrambled up grabbed his wand and ran to the commen room shouted the password.
Harry then awoke. He knew what he had to do but he didn't know if he could except it.
