The REAL chapter 3 of What If?
*A Week Later at Grimmauld Place*
I was sitting on the counter, light in the kitchen off, drinking a Sunkist soda and eating chocolate I had stolen from Remus' 'secret stash' when Harry walked in.
"So how's it feel to know that you're never going to the Dursleys again?"| I asked grinning.
"Beyond feelings, especially since you're my sister. If not by blood, then by adoption." He replied, grinning back at me. My eyes lit up.
"Harry that's brilliant! Come here." I grabbed a sharp knife. I sliced my right palm open. I then grabbed his left hand and sliced it at a precise place and angle so that when our hands clasped together they'd be even. So, I clasped our hands together. A last minute thing popped into my head.
"I, Brianna Rae Black-Lupin solemnly swear to stick by Harry James Potter through his ordeal with Tom Marvalo Riddle and for the rest of our lives. I promise to care, protect, and look after him 'till my dying breath." I started to take my hand away so that he knew he didn't have to repeat. But the stupid git just gripped my hand tighter.
"And I, Harry James Potter, solemnly swear to stick by Brianna Rae Black-Lupin through her problems and the rest of our lives. And I promise to care protect and look after her till my dying breath." There was a bright, white flash, and for a few moments our hands were stuck together. When we could finally unclasp them, a huge 'boom!' resounded through the house, and slammed us into opposite walls.
A few seconds later 2 pairs of footsteps started to go past the kitchen to our room (we shared one and were going to until we got used to the place), until the first pair stopped in front of the kitchen door and we heard an 'oomph' from the door way. Remus walked into the kitchen looking at us against separate walls, the bloody knife on the counter, and the several drops of blood before our hands clasped on the kitchen floor.
"We made a Blood Oath?" I croaked weakly.
"YOU WHAT?" Remus and Sirius both roared. I got scared and leaned against the wall and curled into a loose ball. Remus came over and gently grabbed my shoulder and in quickly yanked back.
"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to." I kept saying over and over until Remus sat next to me and held me tight.
"Shh. It's okay sweetie. It's me, Remus."
"Remus? My good daddy?" I know I sounded like a 3 year old, but I couldn't help it.
"Yes Hermione, it's me." I came back to reality and tried to grin a little bit.
"Does that mean that Sirius is my good mum? I mean, he looks worried enough to be one." I said it loud enough so that it could reach Harry, who burst out laughing. Sirius and Remus still looked a bit worried.
"Do you two know what you just did? Do you know what a Blood Oath even is?" asked Sirius, a furious look on his face. He looked so angry. I sank deeper into Remus.
"Sirius. Stop." He hissed. Harry got up to come to me and then collapsed.
"Harry!" I screamed then ran towards him, and then tripping and sliding halfway to him. I crawled towards him quickly.
"Ever so graceful, our Hermione." I slapped his arm and he grinned at me. "My legs just numb. It must've gotten slammed into the wall really hard. I hadn't realized I had even fallen on it! Really, I'm oka-" he gasped in pain. "Okay, it's starting to un-numb and it's really starting to hurt.
"I'll go and get Mrs. Weasley." I said. I then took two chocolate bars out of the big pile I had stolen from Remus' 'Secret Stash', unwrapped one shoved it in his mouth. Then I unwrapped the other one and started to eat it as I put my head in the fire.
Hopefully the Weasleys loved me enough to forgive me for waking them up this late(or early, depending on how you looked at 2 a.m.). Taking a deep breath, I yelled as loud as I possibly could. "MRS. WEASLEY!" I waited as seven pairs ran down the stairs. I didn't know who the seventh would be, seeing as how it was supposedly only Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, Fred, George, Ron and Ginny.
"Oh, hey Charlie!" I said brightly. "How are you?" I asked the young Dragon Tamer(he's 19). "How's your job been? I bet it's just simply wonderful working with dragons-my god, Remus! If you don't want me 'stealing' you're chocolate, then don't hide it in such obvious places!"
The Weasleys could hear Remus saying "It wasn't in an obvious place! It was under my bed under a secret panel, and in a safe behind a painting! How is that obvious?!"
"Remus, daddy dearest, do you really trust Sirius with Harry right now?"
"Oh lord Hermione hurry up and get Molly to come here already! Quit talking to Charlie!"
"Yes, Dad" I teased him. "Anyways, Mrs. Weasley? Well, me and Harry just may have taken a certain Oath that has to do with Blood and the Oath just may jave caused Harry to break his left leg. May you please come have a look at it?"
"Hermione Jane Granger!"
"Actually, ma'am, it's Brianna Rae Black-Lupin now…"
"Brianna Rae Black-Lupin! You and Harry are in so much trouble when I get there! Now get your head out of the fire so that I can get over!" I obeyed and she came out of the fire a few minutes later, Charlie following just moments behind with a magical cam-corder that was already on. I glared at him, and he caught the look with the camera and flashed me a smile. We followed Molly to the kitchen. I, hoping to stall, started to question him.
"So, Charlie, how are you? Why, I haven't seen you since last summer! How's your job, do you enjoy it? I think dragons are amazing. Don't you agree? I want to work at a Dragon Reserve. I don't know If I want to be what you are, or if I can be a vet for the dragons. The vet thing, so they even have it? The classes would be so interesting! Don't you think? So which one do you think I should be? Do you have to know how to heal and mend broken things before you even work there? Cuz, like, I've read up on some healing spells and they seem somewhat easy, but yet still complicated. Did you think so when you had to learn them? So-"
Mrs. Weasley interrupted me. "Dear, I won't yell at you 'till after I find out what's wrong with Harry's leg, and if I can heal it, heal it. You're probably going to have to repeat half the questions anyways." Charlie grinned at my face, and I could feel it start to heat up.
"Fine, thanks for asking. My job's amazing and I love it. If I didn't like dragons, then I wouldn't be working with them. I did pick my job, after all. I'm glad you want to work there. Too many girls are scared of it. There are actually only two women working at my reserve, and I think you'd like it. No, we don't have Dragon Healers because every Dragon Tamer in my Reserve takes classes on how to heal dragons. It takes less money, and you don't have to wait for one to come see what's wrong with your dragon. Does that answer your question on what you want to be and about the healing spells? Now, did I answer all your questions?"
I glared at his grinning face just as Molly helped Harry up saying, "There. All better." She then turned to look at me, who was sitting on the counter top. Getting nervous, I started to bite on the corner of my lower lip and to swing my legs, rhythmically thumping the counter.
"Harry, go next to Hermione." Dragging his legs he obeyed her, standing right in front of me, placing a hand on each of my moving legs to keep from kicking him. Feeling suddenly drained and tired, I wrapped my arms around his stomach and set my chin on his shoulder, only to look at Molly through drooping eyes. I guess Harry felt the same because he leaned back against the counter against me almost asleep.
Molly took one look at us, then said, "Remus, Sirius, make sure to yell at them tomorrow. They look so tired…" I was already nodding off, still waiting for Molly to yell at us. "Harry, can you take her to her room?"
"I'm sorry Mrs. Weasley, but I'm going to drop her. She probably wouldn't like me very much if I did that."
"I'll take her." Charlie volunteered, magicking the cam to follow him, finding his friends in this state to be very funny for some odd reason and wanting to catch every second of it.
"Here, just grab her and I'll show you where to put her." Harry said. I responded, 99% asleep.
"I am not an object to be 'grabbed' and 'put there', and above all that, I can walk perfectly fine." Charlie quickly took Harrys place and wrapped an arm around each of my legs after wrapping my arms around his neck so that he could give me a piggy-back ride. He lifted me up, and started walking.
"See? I can still walk." I gasped. "I'm taller than you! So either I'm walking or I'm flying. It's absolutely impossible for somebody to grow a foot in an hour so I must be flying. Whee." Charlie felt me slump over as I fell asleep. Harry, only 75% asleep, started sniggering with Charlie.
"Hey, once that's done recording, could you please duplicate the tape? I want to show her how she was acting. She probably won't remember anything that happened after the spell. While she was getting Mrs. Weasley, Sirius explained how the person to initiate the spell normally doesn't remember anything from after it's over to the next time that they wake up."
"Huh. That's strange. And I'd love to duplicate it for you. I mean, after all, how many times do people get to see the Hermione Granger like this?" They both snickered again.
I stirred in my sleep, saying "Crookshanks, don't eat the rainbow. It's pretty. And why are you pooping Butterflies(Anyone who gets what movie that's from right gets a plushie werewolf!)?" they had finally gotten to the room and Harry ran in and threw himself facedown onto his mattress, laughing so hard he couldn't breathe when he finally sat up. Charlie was red in the face from the effort of not laughing.
"That's her bed, next to the window."
"You share a bedroom? Wow, don't let mum know, she'll freak!"
"We're just friends. Besides, this house is too big for the four of us, and at first we tried to sleep in different rooms right next to each other, but she kept having nightmares, and I couldn't sleep without knowing she was okay and Voldemort or somebody hadn't just snuck into her room to hurt her. She's my Doe, and I'd never let anything happen to her."
Charlie grinned. "You're Doe huh?"
"Don't ask. It's quite embarrassing looking back on it now, and anyways! She's Ron's Bear, Neville's Kit, Seamus' Babe, and Dean's Hun."
Charlie's grin grew wider. "That's awesome." He looked at the cam and said "Hermione? You're now 'Rain' to me because of the whole eating Rainbows thing. I'm the only one who calls you that, ya here?" he said playfully. "Think she's done saying/doing anything embarrassing?"
Harry never got a chance to answer, because I started talking in my sleep again. "I wish I had a pet dragon. Then it could tear aaallllll the Death Eater's and Moldy Voldy into little teeny tiny pieces. That way, none of my boys have any chance of getting killed. And the rest of the Weasleys of course, I love you like a great big teddy pear named Pooh loves his hunny. So, Charlie, that's why I want a dragon! I'll just put one of it's eggs right into Moldy Voldies hands, and then poof! No more Voldy. At least, he'll be a bacon."
"She talks an awful lot in her sleep."
"I know, I just close the curtains. I had Remus put a modified silencing charm on it so that the only time I can hear is when she's having a nightmare."
"Oh, okay. Well, I'm just going to stop this then duplicate it." I mumbled something incoherently, then fell into deep, wonderful dreams about Dragons, Death Eaters, and Moldy Voldy.
"Well, I think she's done." Charlie snickered. He stopped it recording then made a copy for each Harry, Lupin, and Sirius. "That way, if she breaks the first one, you three will have two more copies to duplicate from."
"Thanks, Charlie." After Charlie left, Harry fell asleep.
Hey, it's me again! PLEASE READ!!!! THINGY!!! Who should Hermione end up with?!?! send a review or a message! Charlie, Harry, or Draco?
