One more to go!
"Daddy" Hermione said rushing to his side as he awoke. He was lying in his bed at home.
"Oh Hermione, I had the worst dream, you were locked in a castle by a horrid beast, and no one would help me free you" He said coughing
"Oh Daddy, it wasn't a dream but its alright, he let me go" Hermione said softly "He really wasn't that horrid, he was cursed daddy"
"Oh, more of that magic I don't understand" Her father said softly shaking his head "Well if you trust him, then I will too"
"Thanks daddy, but you should rest" Hermione said as someone knocked on the door. She was surprised to open it with Ron, Neville and Severus Snape at her door. "Can I help you?"
"We are here to collect your father" Ron said as Severus handed her a letter
"My father is not insane!" She said reading the letter.
"By my definition he is, he claimed you had been kidnapped by a beast" Severus said pushing past her with two other men.
"You know Belle, I could stop this if you agree to marry me!" Ron said she glared at him
"I'll never marry you! My father is not insane I was trapped in a manor with a beast!" She said Ron grabbed her
"She's just as mad as the old man!"
"I am not and I can prove it!" She said glaring at him as she tore out of his grasp and ran inside, she found the mirror and ran back outside
"Show me the beast!" She yelled the mirror produced what she was looking for. The crowd gasped in alarm.
"That's him! That's him!" Her father said
"Is it dangerous?" Some woman in the crowd asked
"Oh, no. No, he'd never hurt anyone. I know he looks frightful, but he's really very gentle and kind. He's my friend." Hermione said softly
"If I didn't know better, I'd think you had feelings for this monster." Ron snarled at her
"He's no monster, Ron. You are!" She defended, she never thought she could be more disgusted with her former friend than she was now.
"She's as crazy as the old man. She says this creature is her friend. Well, I've hunted wild beasts and I've seen what they can do. The Beast will make off with your children." Ron said moving to stand in front of the crowd who gasped at his words. "He'll come after them in the night."
"He will never!" Hermione said trying to defend her friend.
"Forget the old man, I say we kill the Beast!" Ron said rallying up the crowd
"Kill him! We're not safe until he's dead, He'll come stalking us at night, Set to sacrifice our children to his monstrous appetite, He'll wreak havoc on our village if we let him wander free" The crowd sang
"So it's time to take some action, boys, It's time to follow me, Through the mist, through the woods, Through the darkness and the shadows, It's a nightmare but it's one exciting ride, Say a prayer, then we're there, At the drawbridge of a castle, And there's something truly terrible inside, It's a beast! He's got fangs, Razor sharp ones! Massive paws, killer claws for the feast, Hear him roar! See him foam! But we're not coming home 'til he's dead-Good and dead! Kill the Beast!" Ron said moving through the crowd his hunting knife in hand.
"I won't let you do this!" Hermione said moving to stop him
"Try and stop us!" Ron said pushing her away. She glared and ran inside to grab her wand.
"Daddy, this is all my fault. I have to go back and warn him." Hermione said softly looking at her father
"I'm coming with you" He said grabbing his own knife
"No!"
"I lost you once, I won't lose you again!" He said his tone leaving no room for argument
"Then we'd better hurry." Hermione said as they mounted their horses and rode off
"We'll rid the village of this Beast. Who's with me?" Ron said
"I am! I am! I am! Light your torch! Mount your horse! Screw your courage to the sticking place! We're counting on Ron to lead the way! Through a mist, through a wood, Where within a haunted castle, Something's lurking that you don't see ev'ry day! It's a beast! One as tall as a mountain, We won't rest 'til he's good and deceased, Sally forth! Tally ho! Grab your sword! Grab your bow! Praise the Lord and here we go! We don't like, What we don't understand, In fact it scares us, And this monster is mysterious at least, Bring your guns! Bring your knives! Save your children and your wives, We'll save our village and our lives, We'll kill the Beast!"
"Cut down a tree, and make it a big one! Take whatever booty you can find. But remember, the Beast is MINE!" Ron commanded once they reached the manor
"Oh no, attackers!" Blaize said spotting them
"And Ron is leading them, Go warn Draco! Hurray! The rest of you we are fighting for our right to be human again! Grab whatever you can find barricade the doors here's our battle pan!" Harry said taking control, this wasn't his first war.
"Hearts ablaze, Banners high, We go marching into battle, Unafraid although the danger just increased" They sang together, they had complete trust in Harry's ability to win.
"Raise the flag! Sing the song! Here we come, we're fifty strong, And fifty Frenchmen can't be wrong, Let's kill the Beast! Kill the Beast! Kill the Beast, Kill the Beast!" They sang but they looked around seeing nothing but normal objects. Everything seemed to be in perfect condition, it was hard to believe that a beast lived here.
"ATTACK!" They all turned trying to find the voice when the common house hold objects began attacking. Pansy led a group, Ginny another, Harry had his own group, Mrs. Malfoy had the kitchen wear attacking furiously! Even little Teddy was fighting along side the kitchen knifes.
Almost there!
