Hey guys! Thanks to Jazzybizzle for pointing out what I seem to forget. Harry is half-blood not a pureblood but still. It's dark Ginny so what are you really going to do? Anyways, good thing about doing this, no one can say I stole because it is mine to being with lol.
On with the next chapter! Enjoy! P.S. This chapter will start off with one or two paragraphs in 3rd person then will be changed to Hermione's POV.
Aurthur hands the last alive death eater over to Kingsley and Kingsley disapparates, taking the wounded death eater with him. Aurthur walks over to an unconsious Harry where Ron, George and Siruis are hovering over him, trying to make sure that he is okay. Aurthur saw the death eater hovering over Harry but before he could react, Sirius yelled "Get away from my godson! AVADA KEDAVRA!" The death eater fell to the floor and everyone continued to fight until everyone was either dead or injuried and the battle stopped.
Harry wakes to everyone surrounding and hovering above him. He sits up and looks around the warehouse trying to remember what happened.
"What happened?" Harry asks. Sirius explains everything to Harry then helps him up. The group starts to walk out of the warehouse when they are attacked by another wave of death eaters.
"Go! Take George, Harry, and Ron with you. Get out of here and back to the Burrow!" Sirius yells to Aurthur. Aurthur takes hold of George and Ron.
"Harry let's go!" Ron yells.
"No! I'm staying here to help Sirius. Go!" Harry yells back. The Weasley group disappears and Harry and Sirius take on the death eaters, keeping each other's backs safe.
Hermione's POV
After 5 days, I think I have cooled down enough after the episode. I apparate back to the Burrow but I won't talk to Ginny and probably not Harry. We weren't together but it still hurt very bad. Worse than the Crusiartis curse.
I walk into the Burrow to find it deserted except for Molly and Ginny. I walk over to them and kneel down in front of Molly who is crying none stop.
"Molly, what's wrong?" I ask and grab her hands. She looks down at me with sad teary eyes before slipping off the couch onto her knees and pulling me into a tight hug. I hug her back as she sobs on my sholder. After a while her tears and sobs dry up and she pulls back to arms length.
"Aurthur and the boys: George, Harry, and Ron went to an abandoned warehouse to get Sirius. Sirius was walking to a friends house for info on something, he didn't tell us what it was, and was captured by death eaters. The boys went to go get him and they haven't returned yet." Molly says and her eyes start to tear up.
"Hermione, I'm scared that if they don't make it back we may never see them again." Ginny says quietly.
I am dumfounded that Ginny has the nerve to talk to me after what she did. "Why are you even talking to me after all of the things that you said to me in the kitchen and all the things that happened with Harry?" I ask a little harshly. Ginny looks at me taken aback and confused.
"What are you talking about Hermione?" Ginny asks. Has everyone around here lost their mind?
"You called me a mudblood and told me that I shouldn't have any privelages and that I should not be with a pureblood like Harry." I say.
A loud cackle comes from the courner of the living room. "Very good mudblood. But unfortunately for you, you are wrong again. It wasn't Ginny saying that stuff; I mean honestly. Would you really think that your best friend would really go from being super happy that you were here, to being a complete bitch? Oh my dear mudblood. You still have so much more to learn." Me, Ginny, and Molly back away from the death eater who has appeared from the corner. How did this death eater get into the Burrow?
"Wait a minute, it was you! You put Ginny under the imperious curse and made her say all those things to me. Made her do all those things to Harry. Her thoughts and her actions weren't her own, they were yours!" I snarl at the death eater.
"Very good. But now, I do wish to finish this, I would like to go home." the death eater points his wand straight at me and before I could react...
"REDUCTO!" Ginny hollers as she steps in front of me. The death eater crumbles into sand on the ground and then the sand disappears into thin air.
"Ginny," I say slowly, "I am sorry for accusing you right off hand, I was just hurt because I thought that you were doing it on purpose. I understand if you can't forgive me for my accusation but I just want to say sorry." I say quietly, looking at the ground. Ginny wraps her arms around my neck and hugs me tight as I wrap my arms around her torso. It's so good to have my best girl friend back.
A loud crack outside of the house signals someones arrival and me, Ginny, and Molly back up into the living room, not sure what to expect. The door opens and Ron, Aurthur, and George limp into the house but no Harry or Sirius. Oh no! No! It can't be! You can't tell me that Sirius is... and that Harry is... My heart starts to clench and my breathing turns eratic.
Molly and Ginny rush to their side but it looks like none of them are seriously hurt. "Aurthur, what happened? Where is Harry and Sirius?" Molly asks, fear evident in her voice.
"We were ambushed. Me and the boys are fine. Harry was hit with a stunning spell after untieing Sirius and would have been killed if it hadn't been for Sirius. They are both alive but as we were leaving, we were ambushed by a second wave of death eaters. Sirius told us to get out of here. I tried to get Harry too but he demanded that he was staying. They are both still at the warehouse and we don't know how they are doing right now." Aurthur says as they sit down at the dinning room table. I feel a wave a relief and fear wash over me. They are both still alive but they could die any second.
I sit on the couch and bring my legs up to my chest, wraping my arms around my legs as I just stare into the fire. Ginny walks over to a chair to my right and grabs a blanket, wraping it around herself before sitting down next to me. "Would you like some company?" I nod and she wraps the blanket around both of us as we just sit their staring into the fire. I think we both need some comfort right now.
Seconds turn into minutes, minutes turn into hours as me and Ginny just sit on the couch, her arms around me and the blanket around us while the rest of the Weasley's sit around the dinning room table waiting for Sirius and Harry to return. My heart clenches again at the mention of Harry but it is quickly taken over by the fear coursing through my vains.
Everyone has moved to the living room and most of us are already asleep if not about to be. Molly and Aurthur are huddled on the love seat, Molly's head leaning against Aurthur's sholder, both fast asleep. Ron has occupied the left arm chair and George has occupied the right arm chair, both fast asleep. Ginny's head is on my sholder and she too is fast asleep. My eyes start to droop and i'm about to give in when a loud crack sounds through the air, bringing everyone to our feet.
The door opens and Sirius walks in carrying an unconcious, bleeding Harry.
"Harry!" I screech. I bolt from my spot over to him and Sirius. I help Sirius carry Harry to the living room where me and Ginny take over and carry Harry over to the couch and set him down. Aurthur tends to Sirius while me and Ginny stop the bleeding and clean up Harry.
"What happened?" I ask with tears blurring my vision.
"We were out numbered, badly. We were shooting death eater after death eater back. We got down to the last two and me and Harry thought we had it until one of them used Sectumsempra on Harry. He started bleeding everywhere and I killed the last two then healed most of the wounds. He has no internal injuries he is just knocked out for a few hours at the most." Sirius states. I place a kiss on Harry's forehead and walk out the front door and head towards the woods. I need fresh air. That could have been the last time I saw Harry and the last words I said to him were mean and cruel. Relief washes over my entire body and I head into the woods.
I hear a cackle come from the entrance to the woods. Oh no! This is exactly what they wanted. Me, alone and defenseless. I hear something, like sparks and then as I turn around toward the entrance, a giant flame engulfs the entrance, blocking my way out so instead I run deeper into the woods. I make a left only to have a burning tree fall in front of me and block my path. I turn around and another tree falls. I turn left and run deeper into the woods.
I sink to the ground after another 20 minutes or so of running, the smoke sinking into my lungs, suffocating, sqeezing the air out of them. I cough and then cough again. I can't seem to get my breath back and I lay down on the ground, still trying to get my breath. I start to close my eyes, hoping to be pulled under when someone flies over me and then swings back around and dives down, pulling me onto a broom and heading out of the forest...
Harry's POV
I wake up and see Ginny hovering over me. Her eyes brighten when she sees that I'm awake and motions for everyone to come over.
"How are you feeling Harry?" Sirius asks.
"Better than before." I respond. Sirius offers his hand to me which I gladly take and he pulls me to my feet before clapping me on the back. Everyone welcomes me back home and I turn to Ginny.
"I know what you are going to say Harry and I'm sorry. I didn't do it on purpose. I was imperioed by a death eater that managed to slip into the house. Me, Hermione, and mum were there when he appeared in the living room. He tried to kill Hermione but I stepped in front and used Reducto and he crumbled to the floor in a heap of dust." Ginny says. I turn to Molly and she nods her head in confrontation. I turn back to Ginny and was about to say I forgive you when a thought hit me.
Hermione isn't within sight and Ginny just said that a death eater tried to kill her... "Where is Hermione, Ginny? I need to talk to her and apologize." I say, fear seeping into my voice.
"She went outside for some fresh air. She hasn't returned yet... Oh no." Ginny says as she realizes what I am getting at. I grab a broom and run out of the front door. I nervously look around for her but don't see her. I turn around and I see the forest ablaze. Oh no! She must be in there. I think as I mount the broom and take off towards the forest. I fly over different parts until I finally spot her. She is lying on the ground, eyes closed. No! She can't be dead! I won't believe it!
I zoom down toward her and sweep her onto the back of my broom. "Hermione? Hermione! Can you hear me?" I feel a very faint nod and breathe a sigh of relief. I fly back to the Burrow and land steadily before sweeping Hermione into my arms and carrying her into the house.
"Oh my gosh! Is she okay?!" Ginny asks, frantic. I nod and carry her up the stairs to the spare bedroom. I kick the door open and set her down in the only bed in the room before yelling down the stairs.
"Can someone get me a few glasses of water up here?"
"Right away!" Molly yells back. I walk back into the room and sit on the left side of the bed. A few minutes later, Molly brings up a few glasses of water and sets them down on the bed side table before putting a hand on my sholder and walking out of the room, closing the door behind her. I wave my wand and lock the door before putting up a silencing charm.
My breathing has slowed down a little but not by much. I grab her left hand and hold it, just staring at her face, wishing she would wake up. I stroke her face softly with my left hand and she coughs before her eyes flutter open.
"OH MY GOSH! HERMIONE!" I yell. I sit her up slowly and grab a cup of water off of the table before holding it to her lips. She gladly opens her mouth and I pour a little into her mouth before she grabs the cup from my hands and downs it. I hand her another and she downs it. I hand her the last and she downs it as well. Her eyes start to focus and they grow big as she realizes that it's me. She launches herself into my arms and I gladly except the embrace. She pulls back with tears in her eyes and starts to speak.
"Harry, I found out the truth from Ginny and a death eater was behind it. I'm sorry that I said all of those things to you I just was so jealous and hurt. We weren't together but it still hurt and when I got back to the Burrow I found out that you, Aurthur, Ron and George went on that mission to save Sirius. I was so scared but then Aurthur and the others came back without you and Sirius, I feared the worst. They told us you two were alive. When Sirius brought you back unconcious I was so scared and I-" I cut her off with a kiss. I cup her face with my right hand and she respondes to my kiss.
"Calm down Hermione. Take a deep breath. I forgive you. I thought that when I found you laying on the ground in the woods that I had lost you and I can't live with myself if I did. The last things we said to each other were mean and rude, and I wanted more than anything to find you and apologize. I can't lose you Hermione, I just can't." I say boring my eyes into hers.
"I can't lose you either Harry," she says softly. I lean in again and kiss her soundly. She wraps her arms around my neck and I run my hands through her hair, pulling her closer, if that was possible. She lays back on the bed, pulling me on top of her. We lay there just kissing; she finally pulls back for air and we just stare into each others eyes. I feel warmth flow through my body as I stare at her. She flips us over and lays on top of me, before kissing me once again. She straddles my lap and I place my hands on her waist, holding her in place.
After 10 minutes or so, Hermione moves off my lap and cuddles into my side. I place a kiss on her forehead before placing one on her lips. "I've missed you Hermione," I whisper.
"I've missed you too Harry," she whispers back. We share one last kiss before sleep over takes us both.
That was intense! Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. I know that a lot happened, Harry coming back unconcious again, Hermione almost being burned to death in the forest but I was sort of quoting a Romeo and Juliet thing when all of that was happening. You know, Hermione thought Harry was dead, went out for fresh air, Harry wakes up to find Hermione no where in sight. He finds her lying on the ground in the forest and thinks she is dead. Well, this chapter took me a while to put together but I hope y'all liked it. Please review and let me know what you think. The more updates I get for this chapter, the faster I will update!
Mel (:
