AN:/ I am sorry I have been trying to get two chapter's a day out, or at least one. I had a doctor appointment and physical therapy for my the tear in my ankle. And, I go and see a surgeon tomorrow. But, do not worry I will try my hardest to keep up with the at least one chapter a day. I do not own the rights to Harry Potter that belongs to JK Rowling. I hope you enjoy Chapter 6 of Destruction of Time!
James Point of view:
I sit in shock at what was being told to us. Hermione was born here but sent into the future and is back. She was friends with my son, and I look over at Lily and her son. She knew how to destroy Voldemort. I flinch at the name, Hermione is right there is only fear in the name and if we continue to fear his name alone then the fear will continue into an endless cycle. Hell there is a prophecy about her, and she was going to destroy him. Then it hit me she had left the room I look around them room in shock. I didn't care about any of it I would help her. "We have to go Hermione is gone" I nearly shout.
Sirius and Regulus were up in a flash and soon the rest followed. We didn't care about what she had faced, but we will take the burden off her shoulders. "We can't search the entire castle she could be anywhere at this point. We need the map" Sirius says.
I rush to my room we had thought it would be the safest here since I was the only one who could get access. I bring it out to the living room and spread it out on the table we all stand around it. "I solemnly swear I am up to no good" I say.
My heart is beating out of my chest she could be lost or hurt I had to find her, I promised I would keep her safe I wouldn't break that promise again. Slowly the castle image came to life. My eyes were going a mile a minute. "There she is in the dungeon with…" Regulus eyes go wide and he breaks out into a run.
My eyes look to the dungeon who could have been with her that would make Regulus act like that. Finally I spot it and all the blood drains from my face PETER PETTIGREW. I and the others break out into a run I just hope I wasn't to late and we make it to her in time. We get there and see the what I see breaks my heart both of them were unconscious, but it looks like Hermione isn't breathing. I rush to her side she is but slightly. "Oh my love I am so sorry" I whisper.
Then I hear more feet coming I know my friends will deal with her I try and take care of her. She was and always will be my priority. "Oh dear heavens you did the right then Mr. Weasley coming to get me. Mr. Potter we need to get her to the hospital wing and Charlie you will need to come with us. So I can understand what has happened here." Professor Filius says,
I don't trust anyone else to touch her but I am terrified to move her in case there is internal damage. I don't know what Peter did to her, but he would pay dearly from the house of Potter. I slowly lifted her and held her close to me trying not to jostle her to much. "I will take her you take the traitor make sure he cant leave that bed I will be contacting my father. If he had anything to do with this I will be charging him and if she di…" I couldn't even say the word if she were to I would follow her. "I will kill him myself" I whisper. I take off to the hospital wing I feel others following me but I didn't care all I cared about was the person in my arms. I tried to fight the tears. I could lose her because I didn't follow her I didn't protect her. The tears began to fall. I burst into the door, "MADAME POMPRHRE" I shout out.
She comes running out looking ready to betrate me but see's who I have in my arms. "Oh my what happen quickly lay her on the bed quickly" she says leading me to the private bed next to the window.
I lay her down gently and she cast diagnostic after diagonistics here eyes go wide, "What's wrong" I whisper.
The rest soon join us. "Fillius have them leave the room I have to work quickly and then come back I may need help" she says.
I fight and so does Regulus and Sirius. Severus, Lily and Remus had to pull us out of the room. "Boys she needs to work Remus and Sirius go contact your father he might be needed. James contact your father this is house business she has no trust for Dumbledore so we will keep him away from her. Just hurry" Lily orders.
She's right and the three of us run to the head common room we have two fire places so we can both floo call our families and get them in without Dumbledore being the wiser. "Potter manor" I call out. I see I am in the main hall. Winky shows up "Winky quickly its urgent I need my father" I tell her.
She must have seen the seriousness in my eyes because she quickly popped away and then within minutes brings my father back with her. "James son what is going on?" he asks me.
I feel like my heart is breaking in two I could lose her and I could feel like the blame was on me. "The woman I told you about Hermione Black. She was hurt tonight. I took her under my protection and someone hurt her. I think we have the culprit but I need you here. Please…." I take a deep breath "I love her and I am scared I am going to lose her I think she is my soulmate" I whisper the last part.
His eyes get large and he nods. "End the call son I am on my way I will bring your mother along she will want to meet her. Whoever did this will face the house of Potter to the fullest." He tells me.
I nod and pull my head out and look over and see Sirius and Regulus standing with Orion Black. I now understood where Hermione got her power it rolled off him in waves. He looks me square in the eyes. "I heard what you said about my daughter. When she makes it through this I would like to discuss it more with you and possibly start a betrothal contract." He says to me.
I nod and then the flames come to life and there stood Charles and Dorea Potter. I run into there arms and they hold me close. "Oh my sweet boy I am so sorry your going through this we will make this better and make these people pay." my mother says looking at me with so much love then her eyes change to one of revenge. "I was a Black and someone is hurting my family there will be hell to pay" she snarls.
My dad nods at Orion and we all walk down to the hospital wing. Orion slams the door opens. Was it a Black thing to do or just a way to show power? And, what I seen nearly tore me up she was in a containment chamber and a mask on her face. Madame Pomphrey came up to us, "You may sit with her young mister Weasley told us that Ms. Black was upset and" she looked over to the other side of the room where Peter was magically chained to the bed. "Mr. Pettigrew shot a spell at her back. And, said something to her he wasn't close enough to hear it. But, when he saw her advancing he shot him with the freezing spell so he wasn't able to get away or cause more harm to Ms. Black and Charlie could go get help. He had the spell in his pocket." She handed Orion the paper.
I read it over his shoulder, "Sleeping beauty cure" Orion muttured. "This is an old dark magic curse I have only known about it when reading dark spell books in defense of the dark class when I was back in school. I had thought they banished this curse how could of this insolent boy find it." He says.
No one was able to answer the question. "Is there a cure for the sleeping beauty curse?" I ask.
My father looks at me sadly. "The only way to break the curse just like in the muggle fairy tale is true loves kiss. But, if the person who kisses the person under the curse isn't there true love then the person will fall deeper into a coma and eventually they will die" my father says.
I don't know what to do I know I have started to fall in love with her even though its been two weeks I don't know where her head is at I just go over and let them talk it out. I want to cry I cant reach out and touch her or hold her hand. I look over at Peter and I felt so much rage he might have actually completed the task of taking her away from me. Madame Pompfrey comes over to me. "You can reach out and touch her the statsis wont break until she either awakens, I put it down, or…" she didn't need to finish her unfinished thought.
I slowly reach my hand in and take it into my own, "Mya my love my everything. I just wish you would open your big Silver and baby blue eyes. I am so sorry I failed you again. If you wake up I promise nothing and no one will ever hurt you again. Just please don't leave me" I whisper kissing her hand as the tears fall down my face. A hand places itself on my shoulder thinking it was my dad I looked up and seen Sirius he himself was crying, "I cant lose her I love her and I never got to tell her" I say to him.
I don't care if it made me look less of a wizard I cried on my best mates shoulder and he was in the same predicament. Our friends came over and we were in a group hug. Soon everyone pulled away and I looked over and seen Orion running his hand through her hair. "Did she say anything about where she was or if she knew who took her?" he asked no one in particular.
Regulus nods but looks confused. "I thought you met with her father didn't she tell you anything?" he asked him.
He shakes her head. "She only wanted to help with your mothers arrangements just as any other woman in her station would do" he tells us.
Sirius let out a sigh, "Apparently Dumbledore sent her into the future, and then they light won the war. But, then should found out the truth and came back with the answers to how to destroy him for good. And, there is a prophecy about her, and he knew about the prophecy that's why he sent her away." Sirius tells him.
Orion looks out a scream of outage and stands we follow after him. Lily and Severus stayed with Hermione. It was dinner time and once again he magically forced the doors open a few of the student body jumped at the sound. "Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore YOU TOOK MY DAUGHTER FROM ME YOU'RE THE REASON MY LIFE HAS BEEN A LIVING HELL. THAT I FELT LIKE IF I COULDN'T SAVE MY DAUGHTER MY ONLY DAUGHTER WHY AM I A DAM FATHER! YOU SAY YOU'RE THE LEADER OF THE LIGHT BUT LIKE THE PHOPHECY STATES YOU'RE A FAKE! I AM TAKING YOU TO TRIAL! I AM GOING TO MAKE YOU PAY FOR THE FIFTEEN YEARS OF PAIN I HAVE HAD TO SUFFER I WILL MAKE YOU PAY" He screamed slowly making his way to the head table. Till he was nose to nose with Albus Dumbledore, "You will feel the rath of the House of Black and if my daughter dies while she was supposedly safe here at Hogwarts I will go to the presses I will tell the parents of all the students. You messed with the wrong family! I will ruin you!" he snarls.
The hall is quiet not a sound except for people breathing. "The house of Potter stands with the house of Black. My son was in the start of the courting process with Ms. Black. And she is under the protection of Potter so we will also be pressing on with the house of Black on court related issues." My father says.
Albus looked at us and stood, "I am sorry the pain and suffering I have caused you. All of you and we will be doing everything in our power not to lose Ms. Black. I was doing what I thought was best for the light." He tells us.
Orion looked like he was about to lose it. "You come anywhere near my children again you will see why the Black family is known to be dark wizards." He says and starts to back away never taking his eyes off Dumbledore. "Lets go children and Lord Potter my daughter needs us" he says.
We all follow suit backing out of the great hall one of our own has already been shot in the back by someone in this school while we were under the protection of the great Albus Dumbledore who knows if he wouldn't do the same. There was no more trust in for the headmaster. And, by the looks of many faces of the student body there might be howlers coming his way or a few less students at Hogwarts of Witchcraft and Wizardary. I had a feeling I would be one of those students. If Hermione left the school I would follow her to the end of the earth. We made it back to the hospital wing I took my spot by her side. "Come back to me my love" I whisper to her.
(An:/ I thought about ending it here but chose to continue ?)
(Three month later)
James Point of View Continued:
Hermione still hadn't recovered though the only way to break the kiss was with a kiss, and if the kiss wasn't with the right person then she would die. I wanted to kiss her I knew I loved her enough I loved her more then anything in the world. I was still terrified then something hit me. "Father?" I ask sitting at the dinner table.
He looks over at me "Yes James" he says. It was Christmas break Sirius had decided to stay at Hogwarts.
Though mother and father wanted me home. So with a heavy heart I got on the Hogwarts express. "The only way to break the sleeping beauty curse is though true loves kiss correct" I ask him. He nods and looks at me to continue. "Does it have to be love from both sides or can the love be one sided?" I ask him.
He looks unsure. "I am afraid I don't have the answer in the muggle fairy tale it doesn't really tell if she loved the Prince first or if it was his love for her that broke the curse." He tells me.
I sigh I would doing all the research I can on this between the court case of Peter and Dumbledore. I still was a student at Hogwarts, but that's only because Hermione was there if she had been taken else where for medical treatment I would have followed her. I nod and we continue on. Tomorrow we would be going to wizgonot and the traitors would be charged for there crimes. I went to bed early that night and woke up the next morning wearing black pants black shirt and Potter robes. Mother and Father were waiting for me by the fireplace. "My love wouldn't you want to dress in more colors?" my mother asked me.
I look her square in the eyes. "I feel like I am dying everyday knowing that My Hermione might not wake up and its my fault for not protecting her. My light is gone without my Hermione" I tell her. I take some floo powder. "Ministry of Magic" I shout.
I wait for my parents and we walk into the court room Peter is chained to the chair. I want to kill him he is a rat and he will pay for the great sin he has caused against me. "This is the case of House of Black and Potter versus Peter Pettigrew. Amelia Bones is proceeding this case. Venilulia (Truth potion I didn't remember how to spell it) will be used in this proceeding." Said some random wizard. Peter fought against it and he was held down and the potion administrated and his eyes glazed over we would now know the truth of our formal best friend. "What is your name?" he asked
"Peter Pettigrew"
"And your Hogwarts House?"
"Gryffindor, but the hat wanted to put me into Slytherin. But, I convinced it not too"
"Why did you do that?" he man asked I was curious of this myself.
"I was given a job by my mothers master I had to show I was worthy so when I was older I could receive his mark. He knew that James Potter had to marry Lily Evans a seer had seen it and the only one that could destroy him was to be born. He wanted that child to be born and then destroy him before he could destroy him. I was to make sure that the course of action happened."
There were gasps all along the court room "Did you plan to become a death eater and help he who must not be named?"
"Yes and then that little bitch showed up and ruined everything I had to get rid of her so I found the sleeping beauty spell and cast it on her back so she would have never known who cast the spell and then I was going to kiss her and she would have died and then the course of the mission would be on course once more. If it wasn't for that dam third year I would have walked away clean"
The antidote was given and I wanted to kill him more he wanted to kill her he was going to kill her. He didn't love her and there was no way that she loved him. She feared him he was trying to take away my light forever. "Peter Pettigrew you are guilty of all charges and will be given the dementors kiss tonight at midnight enjoy your last meal" and the auroas came and took him away.
The next case would be happening soon I was utterly devastated and enraged at the same time. He was pretending to be my friend he was always supposed to be a Slytherin I wished I would have seen it sooner then Mya would be with me right now and not in limbo. I read my book while I waited reading about the sleeping beauty charm and then a paragraph; I was reading made me freeze. "The sleeping beauty spell is a dark and dangerous spell many have died after it being casted upon them. There is a book in the department of mysteries that can tell you if you're the persons soulmate or soul bond if so then you can break the curse of sleeping beauty. She or he will take longer to wake up, but ultimately the person will wake up. Though finding your soul mate is a rare occurrence but when you do and you share true loves kiss which both parties have fallen in love then you will experience a soul bond. And, in the magical community you will be legally married." I read it two three times to make sure I wasn't crazy.
Then I stand the Dumbledore case wasn't for another hour. If I missed it I missed it would definitely be in the daily prophet tomorrow and the only real one I cared about was Peter's and he will be dead tonight. I give a slight bow to my parents we are in public so I must play the part of perfect pureblood son, "Mother father I will be right back momentarily I might have found a break in the case" I tell them. They nod. I leave the room many looking at me strangely. There is no doubt in my mind that me and Hermione belong together and these three months without her by my side have been gut wrenching. I make it to the department of mysteries and walk up the desk, "I am scion of the house of Potter it is a life or death situation I demand to see the book of souls" I tell the lady.
She lady behind the desk had long blonde hair and lilac eyes. Her name tag reads Rose Lovegood she looks at me with wide eyes and nods frantically. She points to a multicolored cylinder. "Unspeakable Rogers will be able to help you" She tells me.
I nod and give her my thanks and walk over to the area she is speaking. A tall buff man with brown hair and hazel eyes looks at me. "I wondered how long before I would be seeing you scion Potter. Follow me" he says. I look at him in shock and follow him to a large book he opens it. "This book shows everyone's soulmate usually they don't have there own page, but since I cant show you everyone's fate I magically made it so it would only show your fate. Now yours changed this year which isn't all that uncommon we change as we get older. But, when your name changes to gold that is the last phase and this year yours did that take a look" he says.
I look at the book I have had two soulmates before it turned gold Petunia Turner which for the life of me I knew the name, but I couldn't place her that lasted till I hit Hogwarts. Then fate changed when I met Lily Evans and she had been my soulmate until sixth year when we felt we would be better off as friends. I looked at my name in solid gold and the line but I froze before I read the name what if she wasn't my soulmate and she was for another. I shook my head she was my home, my everything. I took all my Gryffindor courage and looked at the name at the end of the line in bolded golden letters HERMIONE LYRA BLACK. I knew it! I could save her she was mine, "Thank you unspeakable Rogers" I say and run out of the room. I wouldn't be able to go back to Hogwarts for another two weeks, but then I would be able to save the love of my life my soulmate my everything. I guess I had been gone longer then I thought because I got back just in time to hear Dumbledore lose his titles besides being a lower lord of Dumbledore, he would have to pay 2500 gold to the Black family for every year she has been missing because of him, and he no longer was allowed to claim Magical Guardianship of anyone in the school the governors of the school board would look for suitable magical guardians for them. Over all it was a great day two more weeks I would be reunited with my Hermione, and all would be right in the world again. And I would finally win her over I just needed to be patient.
An:/ Well here is is folks! Her friends accepted her, but it was to late to save her. Peter used a dark and dangerous curse on our heroine. And, James found the cure. He also found out something he felt he already knew him and Hermione are soulmates. I decided to kill off Peter, though who knows he is a rat amigus so he might escape. And, go back to his master. Thank you again to all who have read, liked/favorited, and reviewd this story. I will try and get another chapter out today if not then definitely tomorrow! Draco Lover Forever 1994
