Here is the sequel that a lot of you have been waiting for. It starts not that far off from where the original IDbTDK left of. About one week and a half later. Things in italics are thoughts but there is also a point where it goes into dream sequence and I will let you know when because it will say Dream Sequence
"Hi, Professor Rockwell can I speak with you for a minute?" Hermione asked after everyone was packing up.
"Sure Mrs.Potter."
Hermione fidgeted.
Wow is this how I'm going to feel each time that someone says Mrs. Potter.
"Hermione are you alright?" Professor Rockwell asked her. Hermione shook her head getting herself out of her thoughts.
"I'm fine Professor. I was wondering if I could borrow a cauldron. A spare if you have one."
"Isn't that on your student supply list at the beginning of the year?" The professor asked her questioningly.
"I know that it burned through."
"What were you doing with it?" Rockwell asked.
"Using some acidic properties but that's besides the point. I need something that is double reinforced preferrably iron you know something built for tough potions."
"I'm not going to ask...but you're lucky I happen to have one. I need it back at the end of the year though so don't destroy it. They're extremely rare."
"Thank you professor where is it?"
"In that cabinet behind you. It's kind of heavy so I suggest a levitation spell."
Hermione instantly spotted the enormous black cauldron. She crossed her fingers and cast the spell levitating it.
I hope that no one disturbs me on the way to the common room. I might jump and drop it and well it just won't be pretty.
She made it most of the way with little distractions. It was relief when she made it up to what was supposed to be her room this year. As she knew though she slept with Harry. She placed it in the middle of the floor where the old cauldron used to be.
That was hard work. Well I think Arithmancy starts right about now.
It had been a week now and after fighting Harry pretty long afterwards and trying to change his mind she gave in. In her head she had already given in, but trying to keep hope alive in Harry's eyes that she could still indeed fightdidn't work much either. She resorted to the only thing she could do and he would let her do and that was to make potions. For a week now she had spent all her spare time in the library with Harry. While he was looking up defensive strategies she was looking up potions. She however was in there longer than him.
After a while there were some nights when he would come back down and force her to go to sleep. Other nights where he took a break from his attempts she was up until 4 in the morning and all the texts started to blend together. It got to a point where whenever she read she decided that she needed reading glasses as the lighting in the library was slim to none and Madam Pince had already threatened to kick her out permanently.
After Arithmancy she dropped off all her books in their room and pickd up one of the potion books that she had checked out the day before. She looked at her watch.
Hmmm. It's already 20 mins. into lunch. Might as well go down there and get something to eat.
She opened the book and preceded to walk down the hallway and read the book at the same time. She stopped reading the passages in time to catch the right staircases down. She occasionally bumped into someone but apologized quickly and got reabsorbed into her work.
"Hey Harry. Sorry I'm late."
"It's okay Hermione. I know you were trying to do something important otherwise you wouldn't have been."
Hermione propped the book against her lap though she discovered that if she did that nearly everyone would be able to see her stomach. It was also slightly uncomfortable so she sat it on the bench and read it sideways.
"Hermione what do you think about? What are you doing?" Harry asked. He saw her position and that she was looking over some texts while eating. He however took the book from her.
"What are you doing I was reading that, you made me lose my page. Now what am I going to do?" Hermione complained at him.
"Your going to stop stressing yourself and just concentrate on you." Harry said.
"I can't help but concentrate on someone else. Especially when that someone else is you. You're being incredibly stubborn when you insist when I can't help. You also insist that I can't help you with the actual battle so I do what I can. That means that I reserve the right to spend any amount of time I want researching potions."
"Look I'm happy you're doing what you want to do which is help me. I would gladly have you by my side at the final battle but you know what we have to do. You know the entire thing. Only a few people know it and you know who those people are too. I'm not leaving you out of anything. You'll know every single thing that happens in the process. I just don't want you to drive yourself to the point of insanity. When have you ever studied this hard? When was the last time that you went to sleep?"
"About a week ago, when you first told me that the only thing that I could do was make potions. I've been studying for my classes, going to my classes, looking up potions, and finally actually making the potions, inbetween making trips to the room of requirements for items that i don't have and then making a list of potions that I need to make but I don't have the supplies for."
"...And when did you start wearing glasses?" Harry asked.
"Oh...they don't have anything in them. I just use them while I've been reading lately. The colors and the picture start to blend and I get dizzy extremely dizzy and nautious."
"You ever thought that it wasn't that your vision is bad it's just you know." Harry said hoping that she understood without him actually having to say it.
"That could be a possibility. Anyway have you gotten the you know what's taken care of?" Hermione asked."
"Yes, Ron and I's plan went good. He nearly light himself on fire with them. The situation wasn't funny but you should have seen Ron running around the room before I got him to stop so I could extinguish the flames."
"One of the you know what's had flames?" Hermione asked surprised.
"Well they're all different so yes." Harry told her. " Honestly though you're not going to be in the library tonight. You're going to go to sleep for at least tonight and you're going to get 12 hrs. so you and the baby will be alright. You know i worry about you right?"
"That's really sweet Harry showing that you care!" Hermione said as she got up. "But since you want for me to do the no texts thing you're going to have to take this back to our room."
She tossed him the book meanwhile looking in Madam Pince's direction to make sure she didn't see any of that. Once she was all clear she listened to Harry's mutterings
"I knew there was a catch."
"I'm also going to the rest of my classes."
"But..."
"I will get my 12 hrs. don't worry about me!" Hermione insisted.
"I wouldn't have to unless you weren't worrying me."
"Look I love you very much..."
"I love you too. You look different with glasses on by the way."
Hermione put her head in her hands and muttered to him that she would see him later.
She tossed him his book that she had in her hand for some unknown reason and kissed him.
"Bye."
"Bye."
He turned back to Ron and Ginny.
"Aren't you two unbelievably mushy today?" Ron commented. Harry chose to ignore it though instead chose to Ginny.
"Has Hermione forgiven you yet?"
"No, but she sure can hold a grudge. She talks to me when she has to and once in a while will say something to me. That shows signs of improving.
"Not really. Do you know how many times Ron has done something that pissed her off. She's always forgiven him in time. She talks to him now."
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
It was after classes and it was time for them to go to the Great Hall once again. Hermione went up to the front and all eyes were on her.
"Remember last week when we were supposed to have the sleep over in here it got cancelled after some people decided that they wanted to put a hole in the middle of the roof." She instantly looked over at Ron and Harry grinning sheepishly as their faces turned red. Harry had regretted to mentiont that the destruction of one of the Horcruxes lead to the ceiling falling in but she knew the room that the decided on doing it in and it happened to be right over the Great Hall and it happened around the same time.
"Yes, I know eating your breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the outside grounds was a little unplanned, wet, and uncomfortable but it's not our faults. It's the idiots that don't know how to coordinate their activities...Anyway we know how to coordinate ours and that's why we have decided that it's this week. I warn you guys that this IS a chick flick. For you guys that like your manly movies good luck tonight. It's kind of funny too so whatever. Wednesday is Fever Pitch great for everyone unless of course you like gore. Which brings me to Thursday and Friday which is Kill Bill 1 and 2."
"What is tonight then?" Neville asked.
"Good question. Tonight is Legally Blonde 1 and 2. Eat fast because we set up at 5:30 and right now it's 5:10 so you have about 20 mins."
Everyone ate at an amazing speed that definetly wasn't healthy. An hour later everything was all set up about 80 blankets, comforters, and pillows. Theywent back up to their common room and showered and changed to their night clothes.
"No what do you really wear to bed?" Hermione laughed looking at Harry in his boxers. "God at least throw a T-Shirt on."
He did as she said.
"You know Hermione. This is your way of avoiding sleep. You did this on purpose."
"You can't prove a thing."
They went downstairs and opened the doors to the Great Hall officially letting everyone in.
"Welcome again. So you know we're watching Legally Blonde. Grab a pillow, a comforter, or a blanket make yourself comfortable, foods in the same place as usual."
"Harry how's the movie set up going?" Hermione asked walking towards him carrying Sophie with her.
"It's not. I can't seem to find the program on here."
"It's not specific just open the media player."
"Oh ok. I've got it working."
Harry sat down against the wall while Hermione put her head in his lap. They blew a wind across the room exterminating any candles as the movie started. It wasn't long till she drifted off to sleep it was all pleasant until she drifted to a nightmare one that she wished would stop from coming back.
Dream Sequence
Everything was black and white, everything. She felt herself back in a familiar place again. It was the hospital wing and she felt like she was carrying a watermelon that was just about to burst. She was sweating something awful as the pain was intense. She had her feet spread out.
"Hermione when I tell you to push!" Madam Pomfrey shouted.
"I'm here for you sweetie." she could hear Harry saying as she started to and he kissed her forehead.
"Your doing great Hermioene just continue like that." Madam Pomfrey continued. Or was it, it was definetly someone at the foot of the bed looking in at her sacred parts. Somehow the voice seemed deeper than that of Madam Pomfrey before.
Hermione took a break from breathing and opened her eyes she looked down and she saw Dolohov.
'Why is Harry letting him deliver our child?'
"Stop get away from me! What are you doing? Harry why are you letting this happen?"
She looked over at what she thought was Harry and saw Voldemort. He was grinning down at her with his sick grin his eyes in their familiar red slits.
"What have you done with Harry?" Hermione asked through the pain. "Where is he?"
She wrenched her hand away from him. She looked over in the bed next to her and saw Harry's body. It was gruesome things jutting out where they shouldn't be and limbs at odd angles. Blood was everywhere. She started to cry harder past the excruciating pain that she was experiencing. She knew that he was dead that he had lost. Then she started to feel even more pain in her lower abdomen than she knew she should.
"Dolohov what are you doing to me?" Hermione yelled at him.
"This delivery is taking to long. I'm fixing it so we can go according to plan. We want this baby so we're taking it to raise it on our side. To train it in evil."
"No, I won't let you. I won't let you do this to me. It's the only thing that I have left." Hermione screamed at him and tried to kick him off. Her attempts were pointless though. She was to weak. The last thing she saw was a flashing green light.
End Dream Sequence
I think that this was the longest first chapter that I have ever done. Leave me a review and tell me what you thought and if I should continue with it.
