I don't own Harry Potter.

Review if you want me to continue I'm not sure of pairing so I'll take suggestions on who Hermione ends up with. Just no Ron/Hermione.


Harry's POV

It's been years since the war. I was happy.... or was it content? I had married Ginny Weasly and had 3 children with her. I was a successful auror. My best friend Ron beside me all the way. The only thing missing was … No, nothing was missing because I had everything.

"Hey Harry" Ron called.

"Yeah"

"We have a mission. We're visiting Azkaban there seems to be a few dark wizards that need to be executed."Ron replied. I simply nodded. I couldn't help but feel my heart sink just a little.

'Why do I feel this way?'

'Cause SHE's there.' a voice in the back my head whispered.

I simply ignored it as we headed to Azkaban.

Ever since the war everything went back to normal. The only difference was that muggleborns were treated worse and discriminated against ever since she was taken away. Their suffering was because of her and no one else's fault but her own.

"Hey Harry we're here. Come on we wouldn't want to stay here too long." Ron called shaking me out of my thoughts. I looked at Ron's face and could see that he didn't want to be here either. We stepped in to the dark dreary place called Azkaban. It was freezing and there was a sense of death and hopelessness in the air. The strange part dementors no longer roamed this depressing realm. They have long since been banned from Azkaban since they sided with Voldemort.

We met with one of the prison guards. "We have a few prisoners that we need to execute they have become a problem." he reported to us. "This way" he said leading us deeper into the dark abyss. As we walked past countless cells we heard the insane laughter, the anguished screams, and the angry shouts for freedom. I couldn't help but cringe at all the anger, pain, and insanity coming from the cells. We stopped in front of two big iron gates sealed tightly. It screamed evil and brought a shiver to my spine.

"Here we are. I warn you there are other prisoners in there because this were they socialize. IF and only IF they are good we allow them to mingle with each other but there seems to be a few of the dark witches that refuse to leave." The prison guard stated calmly. "These witches have been a problem for awhile and were sentenced to death after 50 years of Azkaban. Their time here is up. All prison guards will be surrounding the prisoners so no idiot will try and attack you."

We stepped inside anticipating the worse but instead we were met with a normal scene compared to the screams outside the gate. Witches and Wizards all dressed in the same Black and white striped prisoner clothes that Sirius once wore.

Sirius. My heart still ached at that name. I looked around at all the faces none of them familiar when I saw a small group of witches in the corner glaring at me and Ron with such hatred. The prison guard pointed at them "They're the ones over there. Always standing there as if they were hiding something." he said.

Ron and I walked toward them wands at the ready. They started whispering amongst themselves. "They're the ones aren't they darling?" I heard on witch whisper. I saw a glimpse of a girl in the middle of the circle of witches. Her face covered with a mane of brown curly hair. Brown curly hair…. I Thought 'Where have I seen it before…?' As we got closer the mass of hair looked up and I saw the eyes that haunted me for years. Chocolate brown eyes. The same eyes that showed me comfort. The same eyes that were so determine. The same eyes that pleaded with me the last time I saw them.

Hermione!?

That cursed word pop into my mind. Time seemed to stop. Her eyes bore into me as if she was looking into my soul or looking right past me. One word shook me out of my thoughts "Traitors." I turned towards the prisoner that dared to call me a traitor. Who I turned to was no surprise to me. Malfoy. After The war Malfoy was sent to Azkaban for being a death eater even if he fought for our side in the end. I testified for Mrs. Malfoy because I owned her my life but I no obligations to Draco Malfoy.

He still looked the same. His hair was a bit disorientated and his face more gaunt. His eyes held unadulterated hatred towards me and Ron and then he turned to her and his eyes soften just a little. I felt Anger, Hatred, and Pain fill me. I turned my wand toward him.

"What was that Malfoy?" I seethed.

He turned back to me and smirked. "Traitors." He repeated.

I went closer to him not thinking then I heard Ron scream. I turned to seeing him get attacked by one of the deranged witches and his wand being taken. I was taken off guard and Malfoy attacked me from behind. He took my wand and knocked me out. The last thing I heard from behind me was Malfoy's cruel laughter as he threw up wards so the shouting prison guards could not get in.


I woke up tied and surrounded by the very prisoners I was sent to execute."Look Potter's waking up!" One of the witches called laughing insanely. "Ron?" I whispered my head throbbing from hitting the stone cold floor. "Right here Harry." He whispered back. He as in the same state I was in with more scratches and a few bruises, probably from the witches attacking him to the ground.

"Well look what the cat dragged in?" A familiar drawl spoke. The sea of prisoners parted as Malfoy and a wisp of a girl followed him. "Serena." Malfoy called "Take Hermione for a minute." An old witch came forward. Her face was filled with wrinkles and her silver blue eyes were shining with insanity and.. Was that compassion? "Come here darling Draco wants to take care of our visitors." Serena cooed at her as if she were a fragile doll. She took one look at Draco and he gave her a reassuring smile as he turned back to me and smirked.

"You know me and Hermione were friends back in school during 6 year. Oh wait you never knew because you were to wrapped up in your own lives to even notice that Hermione was hardly ever around. She was the reason that I switched sides you know. She's the main reason most of us slytherins switched sides. She never judged unless you gave her something to judge. She didn't expect all slytherins to be evil like you two did." He glared at us as he circled us like a jaguar watching it's prey. He knew we couldn't escape and he was taunting us. "She was always so kind, so compassionate so when I first saw her I wondered why in the hell was she here? In this hell hole?" His voice was practically dripping in venom. "Imagine my surprise when I learned that not only was she thrown in here for something she didn't even want but also her so called"friends" watched her be taken away."

He glared at us with so much hatred that I swear I felt my skin burn at the intensity. He turned away from us as if trying to keep his temper down and walked over to the insane dark witch and her. She looked at him but it seemed as if she wasn't seeing him. "Her eyes were so dull compared to when I saw her last. Her eyes that held every emotion... but now it's as if she not even there anymore. She doesn't even talk." He said as if he were speaking to himself. He was staring into her eyes as if willing her to speak.

"Not our fault. At least no one has to listen to the lies coming out of her traitorous mouth." Before I knew it Ron was punched right in the mouth by a very enraged Malfoy.

"You don't get it do you, you poor motherfucker! She went thru hell and back for the both of you! She risked her neck since first year and would have gladly taken the blame for you stupid arses! If your head wasn't so far up your own arse over the years you would have seen how much she suffered for you two! You know her parents are still in Australia? She doesn't even known if their alive or not?" He took one look at our disbelieving faces and knew the answer.

"You didn't even know. You bastards didn't even know that she gave up her parents so that she could die for you two if she had to. I can't even look at your pathetic faces. Serena! Take over I can't look at them without wanting to end their lives now, after all I wouldn't want to ruin the fun." He sneered turning away from us and taking the old hag's place beside her.

"Haven't known her long but she reminds me a bit of my self."she gave me and Ron a menacing smile. A few of her teeth were gone and what was left was yellow, crooked, and rotting. "I was thrown in here for practicing dark magic, but I only did that to protect my daughter. You know she was barely a day old when the took me and threw me in here. The Ministry took everything from me and you allowed them to take everything from Hermione.Crucio!" She screamed as she raised the wand that I did not notice she had until now. I felt a thousand little needles pierce me and I heard Ron scream as I shouted in agony. When she finally released the spell. I looked up at the reason for my pain.

She was still small and the years in Azkaban made her seem so fragile. Her once bushy mane of hair was now curly and frizzy due to the fact she may not have had a decent bath in years and Her hair now reached the floor. Her tan skin that used to glow was now pale and dull. Her clothes looked as if they were about to fall off due to the fact she was so skinny you could see her bones. Her face once lovely was now gaunt. Her eyes that once overflowed with emotion was now dull and lifeless as if she had her soul sucked in by dementors.

"She deserves it" I thought darkly "No she dosen't" a little voice in my head called. I ignored it as usual.

Malfoy stepped forward, took one look at me and punched me square in the face, my glasses flying to the floor. Before I had time to recover a fist connected with my gut. "I bet it hurts. If we weren't where we are now I would continue to pummel you until you were a bloody pulp. Now were going to make you suffer Potter and Weaslby too."


After numerous beating it felt like an eternity, but if I counted correctly it has been only twenty minutes. Hermione(wince) watched the whole time completely indifferent to what was going on."Draco their getting through the wards we have to hurry." One of the hags whispered unaware I heard. I had to stall long enough for them to get in here. I looked at Ron and he was just as bad as me. We had no time to spare so I picked a subject I knew would get on Malfoy's nerve....his father.

"Tell me Malfoy where you learned to torture people.. from your good for nothing father."I sneered putting a brave face on. Malfoy slowly turned to me his silver eyes as cold as steel."What did you say Potter?" his voice filled with malice.

"What not on good terms with your father? Was it because you turned you back on him or is the fact you nothing but a coward?" I sneered.

"If you know what's good for you you'll shut up potter! YOU KNOW NOTHING!!!" He screamed in rage."Crucio!"

I writhed in pain but I knew i was stalling just enough. He lifted the curse and composed himself I knew was going for the kill so I said the one thing I knew would distract him.

"Do you protect her because you need to or did you fall in love with the Mudblood whore?" I sneered. Malfoy immediately lost all bearings and attacked me the witches pulled him back as he screamed out a string of profanities.

"I'm going to kill you Potter!" He screamed as the witches let him go and he lifted the wand. I closed my eyes for the inevitable.

"AVAD-"

"EXPELLIAMUS" I let out a breath I had no knowledge of holding as I opened my eyes to Malfoy flying across the room and the wand falling a few feet from Ron. Ron was the first one untied and heading to Malfoy while the other aurors untied me and got the prisoners tied up. Ron was pissed and I knew it.

"Your gonna pay for what you did Malfoy." He said stopping a few feet away from him. He raised the wand and pointed it straight at Malfoy."SECTUMSEMPRA!"

At that moment time seem to slow down. I heard one of the hags scream as I watched the spell approach him. I saw a blur rushed past from the corner of my eye and stopped right in front of Malfoy. I saw the tell tale red erupt from a body as the spell connected with the chest. As the rope loosened I grabbed my glasses as I rushed to put them on. Everywhere around me prisoners were shouting and I could hear the anguished screams of Serena.

When I looked at the body I couldn't help but feel my heart sink then... Malfoy screamed in rage as he held the bloody body of Hermione(cringe).It hit her right in the chest. She was skinny enough for the spell to cut deep enough to kill her in only a few minutes,but not deep enough to kill her instantly.I could see her ribs poking out form beneath the wound as the blood slowly but surly left her body. She opened her mouth and a harsh whisper came out due to the misuse of her voice. "D-Draco..." she turned to me and Ron"B-Boys...?" she whispered as blood poured out of her mouth tears slowly fell from her cold dying eyes. I could not turn away as the life slowly and painfully left her eyes.

I could not turn away from her lifeless eyes."This was justice for betraying me....right?" I thought "No, it's not." That voice shouted but could not be heard thru the guilt...no this wasn't guilt I was happy. Keep telling yourself that.

I was shocked out of my thoughts has I heard the anguished cry of Malfoy. Tears were falling from his eyes and his eyes were full of pain as he stared at the corpse in his arms. Soon his anguish turned to rage. As the aurors tore him from the corpse he turned to me and Ron.

"I'M GONNA KILL YOU WEASEL! JUST YOU WAIT! YOU AND POTTER WON'T BE ALIVE FOR LONG! I'M GONNA GET OUT OF HERE AND WHEN I DO YOU'LL BE FIRST WEASEL AND YOU TOO POTTER! I'LL AVENGE HER AND BRING THE WIZARDING WORLD DOWN TO IT'S KNEES! JUST YOU WAIT!" He screamed as the aurors took him away. The last thing I heard as my blood rang cold was Malfoy's insane laughter that would forever haunt me.


Review and tell me your opinion. I also need pairings so I'll know who to put Hermione with. I have a few for secondary couples.

Neville/Luna

Pansy/Ron

and maybe Ginny/Dean if I don't make Ginny a bad guy.
