" Now, where should we start with you girlie? The throat to make you shut up maybe? Maybe we should start someplace else then?" She came closer to me. " Maybe we should just start with someone else then? Sound better?" She threw my head back onto the floor and went into another room.

" Will one of you help me?" I screamed but the others just looked from one to the other.

Screaming, crying, that's the way I always woke up now. It's been awhile since we have been out in the woods, but even out there, the dreams always find me in the dark of the night. Harry, myself, and Ron have been in the middle of the woods for it seems like years now, keeping out of the lime light and hiding from the dark lord. We've seen many things out here, wild animals, magical animals, and body snatchers. We're mostly out here because we have no where else to go, until we figure out how to destroy the very first horcruxe. We've been trying to get our hands on these things for a half a year now, ever since the headmaster died last school year, it has been the only thing on our mind.

" I wont be coming back next year Hermione, I'll try to send you letter letting you know where I am, when I can." Harry said.

" You know I have always admired your bravery, but sometimes you can be really thick. You really don't think that we are allowing you to do this all on your own, do you?" I whispered to the boy. That's how it all started out. We had no clue what we were going to do next, when we would start looking, but we were going to do it together, like we always have.

Harry had his family move out of the house that they have always lived in, since the day that he was dropped on their doorstep, he had them leave the city to protect them. Which I still do not understand, they never really loved him, but he is showing love to them by making sure that they lived. Ron's family simply welcomed Harry into their house, arms out wide opened, like they have always done for the boy. Ron worries about them constantly while we have been out here, listening to the radio for support through the winter days. I, on the other had, did something a little more extreme to protect my family from the dark lord. I remember that day like it was yesterday.

I was reading the paper in the living room of their house, listening to the talk to one another about things that they were planning to do and were getting some tea ready for the three of us. I could feel my heart sink with every word that I was reading. The dark lord strikes again, another Muggle family's house was destroyed. Daniel Smith, wife Jenny, and one year old Ben, all in house and killed before the fire by the unforgivable curse. I wanted to cry, I wanted to scream, I wanted to make sure that my family would never be hurt. I moved quietly and slowly into the kitchen, moving a little at a time until I was directly behind the two of them, a few feet away, took in a deep breath and knew what I had to do as I pulled my wand to the ready.

" I'm so sorry. You must know that this is for the best." I whispered, holding back my tears. " Obviate." I whispered, looking around my ex-house.

I walked through the living room, picking up my paper and watching all of the pictures all around the room start to erase my face from all of them. All of the toys that they had for when James came over dissipate. The wedding picture of Fred and I became a blank place in the frame, just a white background with nothing in it. I was now an orphan, no real parents to claim me, if anything happened, nothing to lean back on. I was now fully on my own. I let the tears fall from my face as I moved out of the house as quietly as possible. I knew that it was for the best, that it was for the common good, but I could never get over the fact that I removed all signs of me out of my parents lives.

" Another bad one huh?" Harry asked, horcruxe around his neck.

" Same one, not another." I mumbled, moving the hair out of my face. " Still no sign of him?" I asked, looking out the tent door to see if I could see any footprints, any sign of Ron.

" Nope. He's really left this time." Harry shrugged.

" Typical." I mumbled.

" It was his choice, you know that Hermione."

" To leave us. When we need him most!" I shouted. " I mean how could he do that to us, we are his best friends, the people that he has nearly given up his own damn life for before! And he decides now in the middle of a blood war to leave us! What is wrong with him?" I hit my fist off of the wooden table, hard.

" He's probably just as scared as we are, he just doesn't' know how to handle it as well as we do. You also know that he will come back to us. He always does." Harry said in a calming voice.

" He's not a dog Harry! He doesn't have to come back and hell maybe this time he just wont!" I cried out. " I'm so scarred that he's just out of out barrier, laying dead on the ground because we were not there to protect him!"

" Stop thinking that way!" Harry said. " He's fine!"

" I hope so!" I dropped to the ground. " I hope so." I cried out, letting my emotions show. I pulled my legs up to my chest and tucked my head in between.

" Shh. Please don't cry." Harry came over and wrapped his arms around my shoulders.

" How can I not? We are out here with no communication to anyone, not knowing who's alive, who's dead, I mean we may spend the rest of our lives out here Harry!" I cried into my best friends chest and he held me to him.

" They are all fine, someone would have come and find us if something bad had happened, you know that as well as I do. They are all fine, we will see them soon." He brought me to my feet, wrapping my arms around his shoulder.

" What are you doing?" I asked.

" Dancing, what does it look like?" He smiled.

" Flopping around!" I laughed a little.

" Well that to. You know that I cannot dace for the life of me." He smiled.

" Well yeah. We learned that at the wedding." I smiled.

Fred and I had moved the wedding up to that summer, right after school ended. It was one of the last places that I had seen my parents, the last time that I got to hug them and have a good time. Fred looked so stunned when we saw my walk down the tented isle, smiling and holding a bouquet of flowers in my hand. It was nothing like I had expected, but it was still amazing all the same. Ginny as my bride maid, George as Fred's best man, we ever got Ron to be the flower girl, with a little talking into, and of course, James as our ring barrier.

It was like one big party, everyone that could be there was, even Hargrid was there, he cried the whole way through the ceremony, happy tears though. After we danced the night away, holding onto one another because we both knew that soon, we would be parting, Fred would be going to be with one of his eldest brothers, Percy, in Scotland with James, while I went off and fought evil all day long. I think that he knew that he might not see me again, which he why he took in every aspect of me, the texture of my hair, the smell of my skin, every little detail about my face. And every five minutes or so he would be telling me that he loved me more the he loved air itself. It made me want to cry and hold him tighter all at the same time. We would be going to only one more wedding before we would be leaving. Or that was the main plan.

We were going to be going to Bill, Fred's eldest brothers wedding, not even a week after ours. It was supposed to be a very eventful week, too bad their wedding ended in flames. I remember screaming for Fred, begging him to go, to run now and don't look back. The flicker in his eyes as he brought my body into his for one last kiss, holding our child in his arms, who was not fazed at all by the commotion around us, and then ran out of the flames, looking back every few seconds to see if I was still there. He looked like he was torn to come back and drag me with him. I mouthed, ' go' as he looked back one last time. I then ran to find Harry and Ron, where we dissipated, out of the flames and found out way into the busy streets of London. That was the very last time I was able to see my new husband or my son. Running.

" You looked like a million dollars." He smiled at the end of the song.

" I felt like two million." I laughed a little, looking done at the gold band around my finger. " I miss them."

" I do too." He smiled a little, sitting back down in the seat he had been before. " Do you remember when you thought that Draco Malfoy was out to kill you and Ron?"

" That was last year and I had a great explanation about it as well. I mean he did poison Ron!" I shrugged.

" Not of purpose though, you know just as well as I do that he was sent by Lord Voldemort to kill the headmaster, there was nothing to do with you or Ron." Harry smiled.

" It was a good thought you, and besides, now he may be sent to kill me and Ron. I mean it was a brilliant idea." I smiled.

" How so?" Harry asked.

" You take out the Lions pride, you only have one little lion left to kill. If you have the whole pride to take care of, the head lion can just run and hide. If Voldemort wants to, he could have Ron and I taken out and then what? It would just be you, a lot easier to kill one person looking for who knows how many horcruxes then three." He nodded.

" It is a good theory. Lets just hope that he never thinks it up." Harry smiled.

" Lets hope!"

" I'm going for a walk, wanna come?" He asked, placing his shoes on.

" Nah, it's dark and you know how well I like the woods at night."

" True." He laughed as he exited the tent, leaving me to my thinking again.

I moved all around the small tent, moving things around and staying near the fire, trying to keep myself sane within insanity. It felt like we were all being tortured out here, like the dark lord was just playing us and seeing how long we could stand in the winter woods and how long we could last with one another before killing each other and saving him the trouble. I soon refused to stay in the tent and moved outside, in a warm winter jackets and some shoes and smiles as I saw that the sun was coming up. " Made it through another night." I whispered, seeing the smoke coming from my mouth. It was still dark, though the sun was rising, and I wondered how long Harry would be. I could hear footsteps coming, but that doesn't really matter, Harry could see be a mile away and you could hear his footsteps around here.

" What took you so long to get here, god Potter, you had me worried." I smiled as I turned to see that it was not Harry, that made me back up.

" Don't scream." The figure said, wand out.

" What makes you think that I was going to scream?" I smiled as I moved a little, getting my wand out of my pocket and holding it in my hand.

" Because that's what I would do if I was out, in the woods, alone and someone that was not supposed to be around, was." The figure said, giving an evil laugh.

" Who-who are you? Show yourself so that I can really see you!" I shouted, bring my wand out like he did.

" Common Granger, you don't recognize my voice?" He smiled as he brought himself into the light.

" HARRY!" I screamed out, not caring what he told me not to do.

" Why would you do that?" He hissed as he moved closer. I tried to back up and run, but a tree stump caught me off guard, sending me into the snow.

" Harry! Harry!" I screamed louder. " HELP!" I looked around to see that my wand had been thrown a few feet away from my body, I tired to move quickly to get it, but he moved quicker then I did.

" What are you doing here?" I asked.

" I'm just here to get what is rightfully mine." He smiled as he moved his wand closer to my body.

" Expelliarmus!" Another voice came out, sending the wand close to my face flying.

" What are you doing here Malfoy?" Harry called out.

" Harry, how did you do that. Your wand it broken." I asked from the ground.

" He didn't." Ron smiled as he aimed his wand at Draco.

" You know just as well as I do what truly is real and this whole world is a big fake, Potter. I am here to undo all of the things that I have done, like I should have done from the beginning." Draco said.

" Harry. . . what is he talking about?" I asked.

" Don't listen to him Hermione!" Harry stammered.

" Don't listen! Potter you know that she would have been safer with me, I wish that I would have known that then like I know now. I mean you have her in the bloody woods for gods sake! I have just come to make this world all end and bring her back to real life. I mean she thinks that she's married to a Weasly in this world!" Draco said.

" I am! And happily married at that!" I said, slowly getting out of the snow and slowly trying to get my wand.

" Hermione, this world, all of these things that you think are real, it's all one big lie! I made all of this up, this is all my world. You know that I did something to you, you have pretty much known that since I did it, that day of the train." All of the memories came flying back. " You were right, I did something. I obliterated your mind of us. Of what we had together because our families would never be the same or agree. Please. All of you, just allow me to make this right and then, if she wants me to, I will leave. Just let me make this right. Potter, you know the truth. You were there, you saw me do it to her." I turned to see Harry looking at the ground.

" Harry, is he telling the truth?" I asked, hurt that my friend may have been in on a scheme with Draco Malfoy about me.

" Yes." He said, looking down at the ground.

" Go get your wand." I demanded, needing now to know the truth.

" Hermione!" Ron shouted.

" Shut up Ron!" I yelled back. " He changed my world from whatever the hell it was. I need to know what the truth is, I can't live in a fake world!" I cried out.

" But this world is so much better for you, for James! I know this is for a fact! That you will be happier this way then you would have ever been in the other world." Harry said. " That's why I didn't stop it when I saw it happen, because I. . . I just knew."

" Well thats not for you to decide!" I hissed, that's when my whole body gave out.

Things were flying around in my head, memories that had been lost to so few words. Things were flying around in my head, emotions, dates, times, everything that I should have known but never did. I could not feel my real body, but my body in a million different places, a billion different times, doing so many things. Seeing things that I never would have dreamed about, knowing things that never had existed more then a few seconds ago. My whole life had been flipped and morphed into a new world and then just splatter back into the world world. I could not hear what the guys were saying, I was stuck in the memories of the past. Right up until the fateful moment when he had ended the world that I had known and shifted it into the world I thought was real. With just one little word, he thought he had made my world so much better. When I came back I was sobbing, shaking uncontrollably.

" Hermione?" One of the three voices said.

" What the hell did you do to her?"

" I didn't know that I would do that." I felt like someone had punched me right in the gut, I was gasping for air.

" Are you alright? Hermione?"

" Get her near the fire! Quickly!" I could not believe what was happening.

" How could you?" I hissed at the man that would have been my husband by now.

" I'm so sorry!" Draco replied.

" No! You're not sorry, if you were sorry, or even loved me, you would have never done it. If you cared about me, you would have never come back and undone it. Why?" I asked.

" Because I love you." He said and slipped his hand into mine. " And I'm here to protect you, all three of you."

" From what?" I asked.

" They know where you are." Draco said.
