No Ordinary Storm

Hermione slowly sat up and blinked the blurriness from her vision. She noticed Harry still fast asleep as she kissed his scar before heading up to her dormitory. Her eyes were closed before her head even hit the pillow.

"Hermione!" She bolted up so fast she had to hold her head to stop the room from spinning.

"Be out in a minute!"

Harry stood up from his position on the couch as he led her out and down to breakfast. Hermione snagged her seat next to Luna as Harry sat next to Neville. "Thanks for last night, 'Mione."

"What has you in a good mood?" Luna eyed Harry.

"Defense Against the Dark Arts is the first class of the day. I have a good feeling." Breakfast was uneventful as Harry bolted up and Hermione chased after him. Hermione got a chance to catch her breath as they entered the DADA room and grabbed a table in the middle. The chatter from students seemed to lift Hermione's mood. The door swung open as all eyes turned around. Hermione squeezed Harry's arm in excitement. "Good morning Gryffindors and Ravenclawas! I'm Professor Lupin."

The door swung open again revealing a thin figure with electric blue hair. Tonks winked at Harry and Hermione as she walked through the desks. "Wotcher! I'm Tonks for those who haven't had the pleasure."

"Since this is Defense against the Dark Arts. I figured we'd start the year off with a bang! Tonks will pair you up in twos and you'll practice defensive spells. No harmful jinxes are to be used!" Hermione didn't trust the gleam in Tonks' eyes as she began to pair people up. Ginny and Hannah. Ron and Lavender. Padma and Pavarti. Neville and Luna. Tonks touched Hermione's shoulder as she groaned, "Harry and Hermione."

Harry took her hand and walked passed a blushing Neville as he playfully nudged him and led her towards the opposite wall of the room. They stood face to face before pacing backwards until a reasonable amount of space stood between them. "Wands out!" Tonks yelled. "Begin!"

Harry and Hermione bowed before raising their wands. They heard a shout and turned to see Ron upside down. Harry chuckled before turning back to Hermione. "Stupefy!"

"Reducto!" The spells clashed in the middle as neither of the jets could gain control. Harry and Hermione were thrust backwards as Tonks helped them up as she studied them. Harry and Hermione once again faced each other. "Protego!"

"Levicorpus!" Harry's shield charm blasted forward as Hermione's spell collided into it. Again, neither spell could gain the upper hand and the two were blasted backwards again. Tonks again helped them up as Lupin and her stood to the side. Harry and Hermione never noticed the circle of kids surrounding them.

"Stupefy!

"Stupefy!" The two scarlet streams collided in the center with a bang. Sparks were beginning to fly from the center where the two spells met. Lupin moved behind Harry and Tonks stepped behind Hermione just in time. Harry and Hermione let go at the same time before they were thrown into Lupin and Tonks. Lupin managed to steady them before they could fall. Unfortunately, Tonks wasn't ready for the force of the impact. She collided into the wall as Hermione slammed into her.

"Sorry Tonks!" Harry grabbed Hermione around her waist as he lifted her away as Lupin helped Tonks up.

"Wow-wee!" Tonks exclaimed. "I've never seen such powerful magic from seventh years." Lupin dismissed the class as a worried Hermione was led away by Harry and Luna. Hermione allowed herself to be pulled into the Transfiguration classroom as Harry pushed down on her shoulder causing her to sit down.

"Are you alright?" She could only nod unable to form words. Harry felt her forehead as he frowned at the heat radiating off her face. She blinked and Harry gasped as her eyes seemed pale and milky.

"Miss Granger?" The two turned to see Professor McGonagall gazing at them in concern. She gasped as she came to the same conclusion as Harry and instructed her to eat something. They made it to the Great Hall as Harry guided her to sit. "Eat."

Hermione scowled. "I'm not a kid." She snorted. Thunder sounded in the distance as he looked out the window.

"I didn't know it was supposed to rain." Harry mused. "I have to get back to class. Will you be okay?" Hermione nodded as she munched on a meatball. Hermione swallowed a few more bites before sensing something else was happening. Thunder clapped again in the distance as she walked towards the window. Two flashes lit the sky as she frowned. Sound reaches you before sight. Another flash but no thunder. She studied the sky as another flash flew across her vision. Hermione could have sworn that flash was colored. The castle shook as she finally heard a clap of thunder.

Another flash and she knew this was not a thunder storm. The red flash that followed confirmed her thoughts as she bolted out the Great hall.

The castle shook once again and a picture frame swiveled at the top of a spiral stair case. The female in the frame clutched her companion's hand as the wall vibrated. Their eyes met in silent communication. This indeed, was no ordinary thunder storm.
