Disclaimer: *Finally managing to stop the tears, I get back up and plonk myself down in front of the computer once more.*
I'm sorry for my sad display earlier. I just can't get over the fact that I have absolutely no ownership of the Harry Potter series. Not even a single word in any of the books. Not one single bloody letter! *Cries hysterically*
A/N: Bit of language in this chapter. Jeez, these characters can really get worked up. I also added a couple of lines from the Very Potter Musicals. If you've seen the parodies you'll pick up the lines almost instantly.
Sorry for the late update. I got caught up in Father's Day and forgot to post. Happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there!
Live Today Die Tomorrow
Chapter 10: Heal Today Hide Tomorrow
"Don't worry, Boy. It's just like falling to sleep." Harvey said as he stood at Neville's feet. "Or so I'm told."
"Don't!" Came Hermione's voice as she stepped in between them. Her breathing was hard. "Don't do it. I'm warning you, back off." She spoke angrily.
"Oh, I'm so frightened." Harvey simpered sarcasticly. "Get out of my way, Bitch."
Hermione cast a spell, but Harvey deflected it. "What are you going to do now, Mudblood? Hex me? Go on. Try. I'm ready for any magic you throw at me."
Hermione charged forward. With her wand lowered in her left hand, she clenched her right fist tightly and smashed it into Harvey's nose, breaking it upon impact.
"I gave you a warning." She said as she took back her own wand.
"Ow, you little bitch. You broke my nose!" Harvey got up off the ground and turned to one of his men. "She broke my nose, Yollander." He removed his hands from his nose to reveal the bloody mess beneath them. "Yollander, am I… am… am I bleeding?"
Yollander just nodded. "You're going to pay for that!" Harvey screamed in Hermione's face before punching her hard in the stomach. She keeled over in pain.
Harvey snickered evilly and looked around to find the others still engrossed in their own fights. "Looks like I get to finish you off myself. Don't worry, I won't use my wand. No… it will be all… hands on." His voice became low and husky.
He lowered himself so that he was hovering over her. His face was inches from hers. He pulled her head up by the hair so that her neck was exposed to him. He licked her slowly along her neck. "Yes, I think it will be… Very hands on." He spoke again.
"I prefer feet!" Harvey looked up just in time to get a foot to the face.
"Ron." Hermione whimpered still on the ground.
"Wait there just one second." Ron spoke to Hermione before turning to Harvey and kicking him in the ribs. He turned back to Hermione and helped her up.
Harvey stood up on his shaky legs. "Get the others! Kill them all!"
Harvey's men moved at a rapid pace and surrounded the Dragon League. Although The League had their wands, they were outnumbered by Harvey and his men.
"We're going to die aren't we?" Neville asked from his position on the ground.
"If we were to survive it would be a bit unbelievable don't you think?" Luna answered him.
"Any last words?" Harvey hobbled over to Fred and George.
Fred and George snorted then spat in Harvey's face.
"Wrong people to ask." Harvey responded, wiping away the snotty spit from his face. He then made his way over to Harry.
"I was beginning to like you." He said with a sigh.
"Really?" Harry spoke. "That's unusual because I really hate you."
Harvey rolled his head back in laughter and made his way around to Ron and Hermione. He looked at Hermione first before facing Ron. "Are there any words you would like to say to the whore before I kill you both?"
"Yeah. Yeah, there is." Ron spoke rather calmly.
"Oh, good. Finally someone who cooperates."
"Hermione?" Ron asked as he turned to his girlfriend. She faced him. "Will you marry me?"
The rest of the Dragon League just stared at him in utter disbelief. "I'm… Wha…Huh?" Hermione stuttered.
Harvey drew in a quick breath. "She's hesitating. You know that's not a good sign." Harvey then turned to Hermione, "The proper way to answer when being proposed to is 'yes'. That is if you like the guy. If you don't like him just say so and I'll deal with him." Harvey spoke with true sincerity.
"Yes." Hermione said simply and firmly.
"Really?" A goofy smile beamed from Ron's face.
"Oh, what a happy day! Weddings! I love weddings!" Harvey said. "Too bad you won't be there for yours."
Ron's smile disappeared from his face and was replaced with pure rage. He threw out his fist in an attempt to strike Harvey's face. Harvey dodged the fist and punched Ron hard in his eye. Ron's hands came to his eye as Harvey chuckled and faced Hermione.
"It's a pity it didn't work out between you and me." He said as he caressed her cheek. She responded by kicking him in the balls, sending him to the ground in pain.
"I'm Kurt Harvey!" He spoke as he clutched his 'tenders'. "You think you can get rid of me?"
Ron aimed his wand at Harvey.
"Whoa, Weasley. Look around you. You're outnumbered. You kill me, and you and your little crew die along with me. We'll be remembered as heroes. Well, in our own little ways. Carter, take him out." Harvey instructed and Carter stepped forward.
Ron pointed his wand at Carter. Carter was slowly advancing towards on Ron. Ron's knuckles were turning white from gripping his wand so hard.
Ron turned to Harry as if to get his approval. Harry responded with a quick subtle nod. That was all that Ron needed.
Ron's incantation was almost inaudible over the sound of agonising screams. A bright blue beam of light issued out from Ron's wand, making it hard to see what was happening to Carter.
The light faded and all that could be seen was human remains spread across the Weasley's lawn. Not even Harvey could be seen.
"He's gone!" Neville spoke from the ground. "Harvey's gone!"
"Did you kill him, too?" Harry asked as he came closer to Ron.
"I don't know." Ron answered honestly.
"No, he apparated. As soon as the bright light appeared I saw him turn on the spot and disappear." Neville continued.
"How come we didn't see him?" George questioned.
"I'm on the ground. I didn't get as blinded as you guys did. I had clearer vision."
"I'm guessing that's what the rest of Harvey's men did. Follow the leader." Harry mused.
"It's a bit unbelievable that we survived, don't you think?" Luna questioned the others.
"Thanks to Ron." Harry stated.
"Where did you learn how to pull off something like that?" Fred asked his brother while the others helped Neville to his feet.
"Hogwarts, I guess." Ron answered.
"Hogwarts? No, I meant the blinding light and the excessive amounts of human remains." Fred said as he groomed his twin clean from bloody body parts.
"Yeah, what curse did you use?" George asked as he started picking the remains off of Fred.
"Stupefy." Ron spoke clearly.
"Are you on some kind of mega steroid potion?" George was now freaking out. He motioned Fred behind him and started to move slowly away from his younger brother.
"No! No. It all started 2 weeks ago when Harry and I caught Harvey and Roach in Knockturn Alley. Don't think about it too hard. Just roll with it." Ron was getting fed up at his brothers treating him like some dangerous animal.
"Listen," Ron started, "I'm still the same guy."
"Yeah, but with power!" Ginny exclaimed.
"At least The Dragon League knows now." Hermione said coming up beside Ron.
"Oh, you can talk, Miss 'I-Can-Heal-Myself'." Ron said.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Fred asked looking at George as if he held the answer.
"Hermione says she has this ability to heal herself without a wand, but I have yet to see this." Ron explained to the Dragon League.
"It only works if I've been cut." Hermione replied to the League.
Luna waltzed forward with her wand and muttered something under her breath. A small spell fired from the end of her wand and skimmed across Hermione's bicep.
It wasn't painful and the cut was a little deep, blood started to pour freely from the wound.
"Luna, what was that for?!" Hermione said as she looked at her arm.
"I'm sorry, I thought you wanted to show us your power." Luna said in her sweet voice.
"I could've given myself a paper cut or pricked my finger." Hermione informed her.
"Yes, but this seems more dare devilish, don't you think?" Luna responded.
"Look! There's the glow." Ginny pointed to Hermione's stomach. Hermione saw it and tried to cover it up by crossing her arms across her stomach.
The League gathered in closer to inspect the gash that was made on Hermione's arm. Before their eyes the cut began to glow blue and mend itself; the blood stopped flowing and the cut itself was starting to shrink in size. It wasn't long before the League was staring at nothing but Hermione's arm.
"That's great! Do you think you can heal me?" Neville laughed while looking at his leg.
"I'm sorry, Neville. I don't think it works that way." Hermione responded.
"Since when were you able to heal yourself?" George asked.
"I had my first experience 2 weeks ago."
The Dragon League were just standing there in amazement when the back door to The Burrow opened revealing Mr. and Mrs. Weasley.
"What the bloody hell happened out here?!" Arthur exclaimed as he and his wife observed the red, bloody field.
George was the first to speak. "Well, you see. We were holding an engagement party for Ron and Hermione."
Fred joined in on the fun, "The theme is Blood and Gore; Bring your own Guts."
