Darkside and Back Book 2

Disclaimer: I don't own anything dealing with Harry Potter or the world he lives in. I am merely borrowing them for amusement reasons.

A/N: really people? You want to hunt me down and beat me up? You think I should be shot in the head and left for dead? The funniest one of all I should be hung naked from a flag pole so the towns people can take turns flogging me? Really flogging? It never seems to amaze me at how many people have no common sense these days. One author of story calls it Darkside and back and says it is dark themed with dark events and you read it any way. Then decided to flame me with death threats and getting my ass kicked and do it all under the guest tag? Well I live in Kansas in the States when you get that far send me another flame and we can meet up.

Sitting behind a keyboard threatening my life does not impress me. I have had people try it before and I am still here. Now back to the story. The next few chapters will be fillers dealing with some of the characters summer. I will be introducing a couple of new characters in this book a couple of them will become support roles for other characters. One will become a major player due to a request by a review. Pay close attention to Harry's when I write it you will finally be given a major clue as to the source of the new magic. As always read and review, if it is a flame do so from your pen-name, at least give me a chance to respond. Over 300 words in just a A/N I hate it! This will be the last big one in this story unless I forget to explain something and need to do so in the next chapter. I will also leave a warning when a more dark event will be happening in a chapter. That's all so lets check in on Hermione shall we.

Intro: Harry Potter is the boy who lived. Raised by his muggle Aunt and uncle, Petunia and Vernon. Mistreated for the whole of his young life by them. The abuse he suffers from them includes; beatings, starvation, physical labor and just being treated like a slave.

Then salvation comes in the form of a letter accepting him into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. With the letter comes a dark prophecy that Harry knows nothing of, few do in fact. During his time at Hogwarts he will find Friendship, Love, Failure, Loss, Anger, Hatred and the Dark Side of Magic.

Love, loss, failure and hatred take him over the edge of darkness. Can love bring him back? Can the love of another be the shining light that brings him back from the dark place he is residing? The fate of both worlds hangs in the balance and in the hands of one girl. Will she win the love of the only boy she has ever truly wanted?

Come take a journey with the most recognized wizard in the history of the magical world. A journey that will take you to the Dark Side and Back!

Chapter 2

Hermione's choice

Hermione woke up with a pounding headache and was extremely nauseous. She stayed still and slowly relaxed her body and her mind and the feeling went away slowly.

She slowly opens her eyes to see books, muggle note books, pens and scrolls laying on her bed. She had been up very late trying to figure a way out of this very mess she found herself in. She found a way but was so risky she didn't feel it was worth the risk unless it was a last resort. Plus she needed to do more research on warding and shielding before she would even consider it. As she was just sitting up she heard a soft knock on the door.

"Come in."

"Morning dear. I just got off the phone with your grandparents. They said they would be delighted to have you over the summer as long as you don't mind helping with the choirs from time to time." Emma smiles at her.

"Great when do I leave?" Hermione asks.

"Later today. Your father has already paid for the tickets and is at the office taking care of transferring our clients to the partners for now." Emma says.

"Why are you coming with me?" Hermione asks.

"Me and your father talked last night while you were locked away in here. We both came to the conclusion that you were going through something big. Something that you won't or can't talk about. We also figured it has something to do with magic. Which is something we know little about. Also in the figuring was Harry Potter. The boy you are soul-bounded to. Now we may not be the smartest people in the world when it comes to magic, but we know when our little girl is in trouble. So we are going to go with you and do what we can to help regardless if it is nothing more than being there for you to cry on our shoulders and us comfort you." Emma says.

Hermione runs into her mothers arms as the tears she has so bravely been holding back begins to fall. She tries desperately to get herself under control as her mother continues to hold her patting her on the back and whispering that everything would be ok in the end.

Mean while out in the back yard Dan Granger had just gotten off the phone with his and Emma's practice and had gotten everything taken care of. He notices Harry in the back yard working inside the little shed. He walks over to the fence line to try to get his attention.

"Harry?"

"Yes Mr. Granger?"

"I thought we had decided you were going to call me Dan?"

"That was until your daughter decided that me and her did not work any more and that she needed to be away from me." Harry says with a slightly anger voice.

"I see. So you have no idea what brought this on?" Dan asks.

"No sir I do not. I noticed she had started acting weird just before the end of the year. But as to why I have no clue and she doesn't seem to want to talk to me about it. So I am left inside my own head trying to figure out just what I did to cause her to act this way, and all I am drawing are blanks. Maybe you can ask her and get an answer from her and we will both know." Harry says as the anger goes down a notch.

"We already did and all she will say is she can't talk about it." Dan says.

"Well there you have it. That is more than I got out of her. I got what I have to say you won't like so I am going to say it then leave. Then she proceeded to tel me that we weren't working and she needed to be away from me. I am sorry Mr. Granger but I must finish getting my summer living quarters ready you have a nice evening and I will see you tomorrow maybe." Harry says.

"Sorry Harry but we will be leaving for the summer. We all are going to the states. Close to a little town named Derby in the state of Kansas. We won't be back till the last day of August so she can get her books and supplies for school." Dan says sadly.

"I see. Well enjoy your holiday sir. Sir could you do me a favor and tell her I said I hope she has a good holiday as well?" Harry asks.

"I will son. But you could always come tell her yourself." Dan tells him.

"I am not sure she wants to see me sir. To be honest I am not sure I could handle seeing her and not be able to hold her or kiss her. I know that is more than you probably want to hear bit it is the truth." Harry says.

"Ok well we leave at 2 pm, so if you change your mind do it before then." Dan says.

"Thanks you sir I will consider it." Harry says.

"Have a good holiday to Harry." Dan says as he turns to head back to the house getting nothing but a wave from Harry.

"Hermione I think you should at least say bye to Harry. Maybe the two of you can still be friends." Emma says.

"I don't think he wants to see or talk to me right now mom." Hermione says.

"Funny, cause that is what he said about you." Dan says from the door.

"If I go out there and talk to him, he is going to ask questions I can not answer." Hermione says more to herself than her parents.

"Can't or won't" Dan asks.

"It is not like I don't want to tell him dad it is that I can't tell him." Hermione says.

"I think maybe you need to go at least tell him that dear. Maybe he can figure something out that you can't." Emma says.

"Ok I will at least tell him bye. Let me pack my stuff first. Once you have your stuff ready let me know and I will make it to where it will all fit into one carry on bag." Hermione says.

"Won't you get into trouble for that?" Dan asks.

"If I used my wand yes. We learned a few things this last school year. I can do this wandless. Let me pack and then go talk to Harry." Hermione says as she turns to her trunk to pack her books and clothes.

*********************DSAB2**************************

Hermione walks out the back door of her house and heads for the fence separating her place from Harry's. She sees him stand by the door to the shack that his uncle forced him to stay in just before he got his letter for Hogwarts.

"Hey." She says shyly.

"Hey? All I get is a hey?" He asks anger in his voice while not looking at her.

"I was trying to break the ice." Hermione answers.

"Going to take more than that to break the ice Hermione."

"I know."

"What did you want?" Harry asks.

"I wanted to come say bye. We are leaving for the summer so I can get out of the country." Hermione says.

"Bye then." Harry says.

"I know I have hurt you Harry and I am sorry for that. But I had no choice."

"Yeah you said that before. Everyone has a choice even you." He says.

"Not this time."

"Ok if you say so."

Hermione jumps the fence and walks up to him. He finally turns and looks at her. The question burning in his eyes. She place a finger to his lips then takes one of his hands in hers.

"Harry please don't ask me the question on your mind for I can not answer it. I am going to do something Harry. I want you to promise me that regardless of what you see or hear in the future you will remember this moment and what I do. I want you to remember how it felt and made you feel. One day I will be able to tell you it all, but right now I can not. I want to I just can't. Do you promise to remember this for all times?" Hermione asks him.

"I promise." Harry says.

She slowly moves closer to him and reaches up and takes his face between her hands. She can see the confused look on his face and knows at first he won't completely understand. She hope against hope that he will figure it out and understand her actions during the next school term if she can't figure out how to break the oath.

She raises onto her toes and places her lips against his slowly kissing him. He is stunned at first and does not respond. So she adds more feeling into the kiss. She is trying to pour all of her love for him into one kiss knowing it would have to last for a while. When he still doesn't respond she starts to pull away.

At the very moment that their lips start to separate, Harry Grabs her and smashes his lips onto hers. She gasps as their lips collide and allows herself to fall into the kiss. She again puts every ounce of love she has for him into this one kiss. Soon their tongues are dancing to a tune all on their own as the kiss continues beyond any thing she expected.

Harry reaches down and lifts her off the ground. Her legs instantly wrap around his waist as he turns and p,ace her back against the wall of the shed. Soon hands are roaming and feelings and desires are escalating to a height not seen before.

"Hermione! Come on it is time to go!" Her mom yells from the back door.

The kiss slows and then stops. Harry puts her back on the ground and stares into her eyes. He knows she still loves him, the kiss made it plain as day. So why couldn't they be together? She touches his cheek one last time and the jumps the fence to head into the house to leave. She looks back at him as he stares at her retreating form.

"Remember you promised." She says and then is gone.

*********************DSAB2**************************

Falco Henton was a happy person he was on his way to his play things house to have some more fun and to teach her a new lesson in what it was like to be a mud-blood.

His father had told him to be brutal in his teaching that even scars were ok. As long as she understood her place in the world. Falco knew what his father expected of him and he would not disappoint him.

He looked at the picture of the yard Hermione had given him and concentrated on landing next to the tree. In an instant he was there looking a little confused when he saw Potter standing in the door of a shed in the yard next door a murderous look on his face.

"What are you doing here Henton?" Harry says rage barely contained.

"Here to play with my new girlfriend. You know your ex-girlfriend." Henton smirks at Harry.

"Careful death eater. I have a touch of a hangover today." Harry says.

"You scare me Potter. Maybe I should finish you here and now." Henton smirks reach for his wand.

"Touch that wand and I will kill you." Harry says as he walks toward the tosser. He jumps the fence and comes face-to-face with Henton.

"Potter-"

Henton starts then stops as Harry cracks him in the jaw with as much force as he can gather. Henton hit the ground in a crumbled up mess robes all tangled up. Harry smiles as he jumps the fence.

"I don't know what hold you have on her Henton but I will find out. When I do I will figure out how to break it. That is when you will want to be worried. For it is that day that you will have drawn your last breath. As will anyone else who was part of this. Your days are numbered you lousy git." Harry says I a deadly voice.

"Your dead Potter!"

Henton yells finally getting off the ground and his wand out. He fires a reducto curse toward Harry only to see a glue spear show up and deflect his curse. Anger now he fires the killing curse toward Harry who jumps to the side so it goes harmlessly by. As soon as Harry gets to his feet a blue orb appears in the palm of his hand and flies toward Henton, it hits him in the chest and Henton is thrown back and lands in a heap. He scrambles to his feet and again fires the killing curse, which misses by a wide margin. This time Harry is allowing his anger to control him. A red orb appears and again hot Henton. This time the wizard hit the ground and does not get up.

"Next time Henton I will kill you." Harry says.

A few seconds later pops could be heard all around both yards as aurors arrive with wands drawn ready for action. The head auror steps forward and address Harry.

"What happened here?"

"He attacked me is what happened here. I defended myself." Harry says.

"Let me see your wand."

"I don't have it with me. My uncle hate magic and locks my trunk away so I can't use any of it." Harry says.

"Then how did u defend yourself?"

"With my fist and then by dodging his curses. I can produce a shield wandless which helped protect me as well." Harry says.

Tobias Henton arrived on scene as they were just reviving Falco. When he saw Potter he knew he needed to take charge before they found evidence that could cause his son to spend time in Azkaban.

"Aurors stand down now. I will be handling this for the ministry. Please return to your other duties." He tells them.

"Yes boss." They say as one and then pop away.

Harry is standing in his yard watching the older wizard help Falco up. There is no doubt that they are related. Both have the same beady half sunken eye, same up turned nose and pointed protruding chin. As he is watching the older wizard begins to speak.

"Run along now Falco and play with your other friend while I have a talk with young Mister Potter." Tobias tells him.

Falco looks at his dad the cast an evil look at Harry before smirking and running to the back door and knocking. He knocks a second time and then unlocks the door and walks in.

"Harry my dear boy it is good that we finally get to meet. My name is Tobias Henton and I am the head Auror in the DMLE. I am sure we can chalk up what happened today to teen age jealousy can we not. I mean after all I know it hurts when we lose someone we love to another person." Tobias smirks at him.

"You can chalk it up to what ever the hell you want to death eater. I will tell you like I told your son. I will find out what he has on her and figure out how to break it. Once that is done I will kill your son and anyone else who is involved. If I find that any of them have hurt her in any way, there death will take days." Harry tells him.

"My My. Such big words coming from such a small boy don't you think.?" Tobias says.

Suddenly his arms are at his side and he is unable to move anything other than his head. He is lift over the fence and brought face-to-face with a young man whose eye had taken on that of a demon. The glowed green as if made of Emeralds and the sun was hitting them. For the first time since his master had vanished Tobias was scared.

"Listen to me carefully death eater. I am not making an ideal threat when I say I will kill all involved in what ever is going on with Hermione. You made a mistake sir, if you would have come after me, I would not have reacted the way I am going to when I figure this all out. No you went after Hermione, the one person on this planet that I love. For that you will pay with your lives. As I said if she has been harmed in any way, you will die a slow painful death. I would kill you now but need more proof. When I have it watch for me sir because I will come knocking on your door." Harry says with ice dripping from his voice and his eyes flashing fire as Tobias is thrown back over the fence to land in a heap just as Falco comes back out side.

"There gone! Father are you ok?"

"Yes yes I am fine just having a talk with Potter and I slipped and fell. Where is your friend at Falco?" He asks his son.

"I don't know she is not any where inside the house." He tells his father.

"Well lets head to the manor and see if you can contact her from there." Tobias says.

"Good luck her parents took her on a summer long trip. She won't be back till the end of August." Harry tells them.

Both the Hentons look as if they were punched in the gut. They stared at him and then each other as if this was the worst thing possible. But before Falco could react his father grab him and in a pop where gone.

"Your days are number death eater mark my words." Harry whispers to the empty yard.
