11

After one week of waiting, Dumbledore finally came back from a supposed vacation, but secretly, he was at an Order meeting. Together, they all searched the library for clues to what Heather might have suffered from.

"I... I think I found it! Professor, come here and look!" Ron shouted.

"Er... Ron, that is for a poisoned apple," said Harry.

"Er... well... it could happen!"

"But it didn't!"

"Boys, this spell is a sleeping curse. It can be placed on a victim from anywhere, as long as they have one strand of their hair. She was placed under this curse by Lord Voldemort, who has returned. Mrs. Weasley was put under the same curse, just a more minor attack. The antidote changes with each curse. For this curse, we must look under ancient spells. Mainly, like Ron found, a poisoned apple for instance." said Dumbledore coming out of the shadows.

"Well, Er... Professor... if you knew what it was... why didn't you tell us sooner?" asked Fred.

"Well, then you would have found it, and crowded around Heather again. This way, everyone was busy, one of my more brilliant ideas."

"I've heard that before,' said Harry.

"Yes you have Mr. Potter," said Dumbledore.

"Er... well... let's keep looking!" said Ginny.

After hours of searching, Harry screamed, "Dumbledore, I think I found it... it is called the sleeping beauty affect."

"Ah, yes Harry, you are correct."

"But... er... professor, isn't that like... a kiss spell or something?" asked Hermione.

""Yes, Mrs. Granger, you are correct. Now, here it says true loves kiss. True love... true love... Mr. Weasley!"

"Er... yes professor!" said Ron and the twins at the same time.

"We found out the cure, but it is tricky.... true loves kiss..."

"I can do that", "Easily", and "Sure no problem" came from all the Weasley boy's mouths at the same time.

Ron was the one to wake her up, after Fred and George tried. They all helped Heather get back on her feet, and after two weeks, they were headed back to the joke shop. When they got back, Hermione had to go and visit her parents for a week.

'A letter, wonder who it is for... well, I guess it wouldn't hurt to check, then I could return it to the owner', thought Heather.

As Heather opened the letter, it read:

My Dearest Ron,

I miss you so much. Don't worry, I'll be home tonight. Can't wait to see you again!

Yours truly, Hermione

XOXOXO

As Heather dropped the letter to the floor. She didn't know what to do... she ran for the door, but as she was about to leave, she saw Ron, the last person in the world she wanted to talk to or see at the moment. As he opened his mouth to talk to her, she pushed him out the way, and ran into the forest. After she was well out of sight, she turned into a wolf, and ran all over until about midnight. The weather was as cold as ice, and it was beginning to snow. Small pieces of ice were forming on her nose, and she was freezing. She had no choice but to turn around and head for the house. By now, Harry should be home... and so should Hermione.

As Heather went to open the back door to the shop, she saw standing in front of the doorway, Ron and Hermione... kissing. As Heather slid down the wall, she burst into tears, big painful tears. As each one rolled down her face, they were frozen. The snow suddenly stopped, and it began to rain. For hours, she sat there, motionless... barely breathing... wishing it would all be a dream, and she would soon wake up. Waiting for that moment she knew would never come. As the hours grew later, Harry finally got home. He saw Heather, and immediately ran to her... picking her up in his arms and carrying her inside. The way any brother would do, just looking out for his sister. As he walked in, he realized why she had been crying. He saw Hermione and Ron sleeping on the sofa, and almost fainted from anger and shock, but remembered he had to take care of Heather, and carried on... for his sister... his only immediate family left. Harry took care of Heather, and Ginny woke up and helped too. The twins were soon up for work, and went down stairs to talk to Ron, who was already gone. Hermione was still sleeping on the sofa. When Heather woke up, she cried until her eyes had no more tears left in them. Ginny pulled her close to her, and cried with her... tears of friendship, and tears of how angry she was at her brother. That day, Hermione left to live with her parents, and Ron still never came back.

For a week, still no sign of Ron... it was like he almost disappeared. On the eighth day of Ron's disappearance, an old face came to their door.

"Draco!" said Heather as she greeted the now tall handsome still blonde boy.

"Er... hello Heather, I heard about Ron..."

"Is that why you are here?"

"Well, in a way, yes. I am here to ask you to accompany me on a mission. I know you have given up on spy work since school, but I need your help."

"Well, what is the mission, and then I'll give you my answer."

"My wife and your fiancé were taken captive. By Voldemort. Ron was under a spell, just as Devin was, if we don't act quickly, we might never be able to save them... it might be too late."

You have got to be kidding me! I am so happy, I really thought that Ron was cheating on me with Hermione, we have to save them. We will leave tomorrow. At dawn"

Okay, this chapter. What is there to say... uh... lets start with o my goodness, I can't believe I did this to Ron and Heather. But, Devin and Draco are back, and I made Hermione evil! YAY. I never did like her. Oh well, more on the way!
