BRIGHT LIGHTNING

Prologue

Harry just sat down at the Great Hall, for breakfast, when Ron rushed
in and said "Harry! There's something wrong with Hermione!" Harry
jumped up and ran to the Fat Lady. "ginkle dinkle!" He said wheezingly.
The portrait swung open and he rushed in, followed closely by Ron.
He ran up to the 5th year girls dormitory and threw open the door.
Harry stopped dead in his tracks when he saw Hermione. She no longer
had bushy brown hair, but sleek shiny dark red. She was floating a foot
above her bed and was moaning "Not... Harry. Please, not Harry!" Harry
swore and went closer. "Don't Harry!" Said Ron. "If you touch her,
you'll get shocked!" Harry ignored him and as soon as he was a foot
away, he fell to the floor clutching his scar in pain.
Harry's scar and Hermoine's body started to glow green. Suddenly, a
green lightning bolt shot from Harry's scar met another lightning bolt
that shot from Hermione's body. There was an explosion as the two
lightning bolts met that rocked the whole tower. Grit and stones rained
down on them.
As the dust settled down, Ron coughed and said "Harry? Hermione? Where
are you?" He got up and started walking when he tripped on something.
He looked down and saw Lavender. She was out cold. "Lavender! Lavender,
talk to me! Come on!" He screamed. She moaned and opened her eyes.
"Where am I?" She asked. Then looked around and swore. "Lavender, can
you walk?" He asked. She nodded her head and Ron said " Go get
Dumbledore. Now!"
She stood up, but before she could move, the door was blasted off its
hinges and Dumbledore ran in followed shortly by Professor McGonagall.
"What happened h" But he was stopped in mid sentence by the sound off
someone coughing.
A shape rose from the debris and shook itself. Ron swore and said
"HERMIONE!" "Ron? Ron, where are you?" Said Hermione. "Lumos." Said
Ron. Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall fell back with horror mingled
with wonder. "Lily." Professor McGonagall said before dropping in a
dead faint.
Hermione started walking forward, but she wasn't the same old Hermione
she used to be. She still had her sleek dark red hair from
before the explosion, but she had green eye's, just like Harry's.
"What's wrong, Ron?' She asked. Ron had froze and had his jaw dropped.
She walked up to Ron and pushed his jaw up, but his jaw dropped down
again. Hermione giggled and as she giggled Ron saw the real change in
her. In her eyes, he saw that they had a mischievous look to them
instead of the regular seriousness. She also walked differently. She
walked more with style instead of her casual walk. "Oh, hi Professor."
Hermione said cheerfully, noticing him for the first time. Before he
could answer, a hand flew up and grabbed Hermione's ankle and yanked
her, so she fell. Just then Dumbledore shouted "Stupefy!" and the hand
went limp.
Ron started to dig were the hand came up and dug up Harry. "Oh, my!"
Said Dumbledore. "Hermione must have been standing on him, so he tried
to get her off him. Ennervate!" Harry started to stir and cracked his
eyes open. "Who stunned me?" He asked. "Me." Said Dumbledore, a little
red appearing on his cheeks. "Oh Harry!" Said Hermione. Harry took one
look at her and said "Mum?" before fainting. "What is wrong with
everyone here? You're all acting weird!" Screamed Hermione. Frustrated,
she looked down at Harry and froze. Am I seeing things? She shook her
head and looked again. There in Harry's glasses she saw her reflection
and she fainted. "Man! What's up with everyone fainting?" Exclaimed Ron.
"I don't know Ron, I just don't know." Replied Dumbledore.
After Dumbledore repaired the tower with a wave of his wand and then
conjured stretchers for everyone on the floor, they both took the
people in stretchers to Madam Pomfrey for healing.
She went hysterical, however, when she saw Hermione, thinking it was
Lily. It took awhile to calm her down and tell her the story of what
happened, with the help of Ron. They were so occupied by the story
they were telling that none of them noticed the shadow watching them.
