AN:/ Welcome to another chapter of Dark Souls! I am so sorry I thought I had posted this chapter yesterday, but things got so crazy. Our room mate is moving out, and I scheduled my surgery, and trying to figure out my husband's schedule for work, and so much more. I don't own the rights to Harry Potter that belongs to JK Rowling. Enjoy Chapter 25 of Dark Souls!
Harry's Point of View:
I had stayed up all night to watch over my soon to be wife, but also my wife by magic. Someone had threatened her, and I swore I recognized the handwriting but I couldn't remember where. And, it was bugging the hell out of me. I reached for my coin, "Hermione was threatened by a letter all guards up" I said to everyone, but Hermione's coin not wanting to wake her. "She is sleeping so if you're coming to the common room, quiet is the objective" I tell them.
I got a lot of affirmatives, and I slowly broke away from her without waking her. Then cast a silencing charm, and threw on black pants, a black dress shirt, and black robes with the Potter, Black, and Gryffindor crest on them. And, walked out into the common room. The floo activated Lucius, Snape, and Frank. Severus and Frank hold up their coins and I nod at them. "How may I acquire my own coin?" Lucius asks.
I smile at him, "I have an extra in my room. I will get it for you after the meeting the women aren't coming?" I ask them.
They shake their head, "No they wanted to but we decided to come and would relay the information back to them. They are going dress shopping with Ms. Longbottom tomorrow, and they wanted to be refreshed" Franks says.
Ah shit I forgot to ask Hermione to Hogsmead weekend. Some Fiance I am and slam my head down, and then Sirius and Remus come through "What's up with pup?" Sirius asks.
Severus had a sparkle in his eye I have never seen before, "He has seemed to pull a James after he started dating Lily" he says.
Sirius looked confused but Remus broke out in laughter "You forgot to ask Hermione to hogsmead. Oh Merlin! How much trouble are you in?" he asks me.
Sirius looks at me in shock and then breaks out in laughter with the rest of the adults, and then Fred, George, Neville came and along with them was Viktor and Cedric. "Ladies are all resting for the night now let's see this letter" George says.
I sigh, "I don't know she hasn't even brought it up so she might have forgotten as well" I say.
The men shrug, and I grab the letter and pass it around. Everyone shakes their heads until it reaches Fred and George they freeze, "You dont think Freddie" says George
He nods, "We have seen it and perfected it over the years" Fred says.
I had a pretty good idea who it was, but I had to hear them say, "Who is it who wrote that letter who put my wife in the goblet of fire?" I ask them.
They look at me with sad eyes and sigh, "Our mother Molly Weasley" they say together.
I let out a scream of rage, and went to punch the wall, when I was a few inches I heard the rustle of the hallway. "Harry?" a voice called out.
My angel was awake. I rush to her side. She was leaning against the wall half asleep. Dammit my emotions got out of hand, and I woke her. Remus also came to her side. "Angel, let's get you back to bed" I whisper to her.
Her eyes are fully open now, and she sees the other in the room. "Are we having a meeting? why didn't you wake me?" she asks me.
And walked into the room with the rest of the men, "You have had a trying last few months. I wanted you to rest I am handling the situation" I tell her.
I knew she wouldn't go to bed now, because she would want to be part of this. "This concerns my life Harry I should be part of this conversation" she tells me firmly.
I was angry, scared, and tired. "No we are handling the situation now you can go rest!" I say with an order tone in my voice.
Dammit what couldn't this woman get this through her skull I am trying to protect her. She looked at me with fire in her eyes, "I am trying to help, this is my life in danger" she screamed back at me.
I snarled, "You don't think I know that! DAMMIT Hermione I went fifteen years without you! I will not do it again I am doing everything in my power to protect you" I yelled at her.
I know I had made a huge mistake the next thing I knew she threw the necklace, and rings at me. "I WILL NOT BE WITH A CONTROLLING MAN HARRY JAMES BLACK-POTTER. I MAY BE STUCK WITH YOU BY MIND AND MAGIC. BUT I WILL NOT GIVE MYSELF FULLY TO YOU. I AM GLAD I FOUND OUT WHAT KIND OF MAN YOU ARE BEFORE I DID" She screamed at me.
And, she rushed out of the room because she knew the castle better than anyone. Fred rushed after her, but it would be in vain. If she didn't want to be found, she wouldn't be found. She knew the map, and wouldn't stop moving so I wouldn't be able to catch up with her. I fell into the couch, the adrenaline leaving my body, "What did I just do?" I whisper to no one in particular.
I had yelled at Hermione, my angel my everything. I never in my wildest dream wanted this to happen, "You my godson have caused a major fuck up and you best fix it quickly. Hermione holds grudges!" Sirius tells me.
I look at the necklace and rings I had gotten her, and I am still in shock. All of a sudden I am slapped across the face. I looked up and saw a very angry Neville Longbottom! "You better fix this now! Or I swear I will find a way to break this goddam soulbond, and set my sister free" he snarled at me. I just hoped I found her, and could make this right, I couldn't live without my angel. We took out the map, and sent out search pirates hoping beyond hope one of us eventually found her.
Hermione's Point of View:
I wander around making sure to never stop. I was on autopilot. I have just broken up with Harry, the man who means the world to me. Who I would die for in an instant, and now we were just done. I felt like I couldn't breathe! I somehow ended up at the astronomy tower, and sat at the edge of the open window. It would be so easy to just jump. I could go back and be with Lily and James. I heard footsteps, but I didn't move. "Remus I found her" I heard the voice of the man I didn't want to hear. "Angel" he whispers to me.
I could hear the fear in his voice. It would be so simple, but I was stronger then this, or I thought I was. "Pup listen to me" Remus says. I turn my head slightly still looking out in the distance, but showing him I was paying attention. "We can talk this out. We don't want to do anything drastic" he says.
I heard the fear in his voice as well. "And, why not, might I ask? It would be so easy. And, Harry would be free of me. The Longbottom's would get over it in time, I'm not their real daughter" I tell him. "I am just someone who saved them, and they felt like they owed me, so they adopted me out of duty" I finish.
I heard them slowly creep closer, but I didn't move. "And, what about me I see you like my own daughter. I would be beyond devastated. You're my pup Hermione." he says to me.
I wipe the tear from my eyes, "You will have your own pup in a few years with Tonks" I whisper. "And, you will forget about me," I add.
Harry shakes his head, "Remus and Moony love you with all their hearts. Teddy could never replace the hole you would make in his heart. You know this Hermione! And, the Longbottoms do see you as their daughter, and Neville as your sister. They didn't do it out of obligation, they did it out of love. And, Hermione Angel I love you with all my heart. I would do anything for you, you mean the world to me" Harry tells me.
I shake my head, "It's all lies! You just want to control me" I stand and face him. "I know what you are going to be, and I accepted it, but I always thought you would be different with me! BUT I WAS WRONG YOU DON'T CARE" I scream at him.
All the sudden I am pushed against the wall, and Harry flush against me, "Remus leave us, we need to discuss this in private" he says to him. He looks like he is going to argue, but I nod at him and I guess the look Harry was giving him made him change his mind.
He nods at us, "I will be right outside the door if you need me" he says to us.
Harry nods, "Make sure we aren't interrupted" he snarls and then looks at me. With anger, passion, power, and love. Soon we are alone. I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing at the moment. "Silencio" he whispered. All the sudden his lips are on mine. It wasn't one of our normal kisses our teeth were scraping against each other, and I could feel the full force of his anger, and fear. I let go and let him have control. Soon he pulled away, and we were both breathless. "Now Hermione don't you ever say my love for you isn't real or what I feel for you isn't real. I am doing everything I can to protect you! Why can't you understand that?" he snarls.
I look at him with power and I let him feel it, "I am supposed to be your partner, but you treat me like a damsel who needs to be rescued. Or your the dragon locking me in the tower! I am supposed to be your equal Harry, and you aren't treating me like that! You are treating me like I am an obligation. I know you went fifteen years without me! I did the same thing Harry! I remember it just as fresh as you do. I have nightmares of it, and I cant escape it! And, the prophecy can still happen! Molly, Ginny, and Ron are still out there! Just because the rat, and Dumbletwit are gone doesn't mean I am going to live through this! I can still die!" I say to him.
He snarls, "I am not going to let that happen! I will put you in a bloody tower if it means keeping you safe" he says in anger in his voice.
I look at him sadly, "Then I guess you don't truly know me at all Harry, and maybe it is best we go our separate ways" I whisper to him tears coming in my eyes.
He shakes his head in denial, "No you can't leave me I love you" he tells me.
I could feel both our hearts breaking, "I love you too, but like I told you I want a partner, not someone who thinks they can lock me away and fight the battles without me" I say to him.
He sighs, his head falling to my shoulder, his shoulders shaking, "I can't lose you again Angel I wouldn't survive" he whispers to me tears coming on my nightshirt.
I just hold him close, "And, I can't lose you. We are in this together, or we are in this alone. The choice is ultimately your own. Let me know in the morning I am going to sleep in the room of requirements tonight" I whisper and break Harry's hold kissing his cheek. I walk to the secret entrance, and look back at his heartbroken eyes, "I will love you forever no matter what choice you make" I whisper and then I leave him alone. I hope it's not forever.
I woke up the next morning and threw on my baggy uniform. I have no one to impress today. It was a hogsmeade trip today, but I decided not to go, and I went and found Fleur. She looks at me in shock, "Mya are you well?" she asks me.
I shake my head, "I think me and Harry broke up last night" I whisper to her.
I had cried most of the night and thought I was all cried out. "Oh peu d'amour (Little Love) everything will work out I promise" she says holding me close.
I shake my head, "I don't know this time. I hope you have fun in Hogsmeade I am just going to hang out my the lake for a while" I tell her and walk away.
I sat under our tree and sighed as I look out at the lake. I should have known the honeymoon phases wouldn't last forever. But, him not seeing me as his equal. I couldn't be with a man like that no matter how much I loved him. Soon I hear a guitar in the distance coming my way, I look over and see it's Harry. "Just listen to this song, if you tell me to still go I will" he says. I nod at him, and he lets out a sigh sitting next to me.
"Don't go tonight
Stay here one more time
Remind me what it's like, oh
And let's fall in love one more time
I need you now by my side
It tears me up when you turn me down
I'm begging please, just stick around
I'm sorry, don't leave me, I want you here with me
I hope that your love isn't gone
I can't breathe, I'm so weak, I know this isn't easy
Don't tell me that your love is gone
That your love is gone
I'm sorry, don't leave me, I want you here with me
I hope that your love isn't gone
I can't breathe, I'm so weak, I know this isn't easy
Don't tell me that your love is gone
That your love is gone
Don't tell me that your love is gone
That your love is gone
Don't tell me that your love is gone
That your love is gone
That your love is gone
I know this isn't easy (easy)
That your love is gone" he sang to me looking me right in the eyes.
I look at him, tears falling down my face. "My love for you will never be gone Harry, but how can I be with a man who doesn't see me as his equal. So many years I have always been by your side. Fighting every step of the way with you. But, you want to lock me away in a tower, and fight alone" I tell him.
He crawls behind me and holds me close his own tears falling. "I love you so damn much. I can't live without you again I couldn't survive" he tells me.
I turn to look at him in his emerald eyes, "That's why we need to fight together, because we are stronger together" I whisper to him.
He nods and it looks like he is fighting internally with himself, "Together always" he whispers to me. "So does this still mean your going to marry me and you still love me?" he asks me.
I nod, "Always" I whisper. He slides the ring and necklace back on me and sighs in relief. We just stay there for the remainder of the day. I was going to tell the other champions about the egg, but that can wait one more day. Today was about reestablishing mine and Harry's bond. In his arms I felt like I could take on the world, and with him by my side, and me by his I have no doubt we would come out on top.
AN:/ The drama and the heartbreak. But, love came out in the end. Next chapter I promise she will talk to the other champions about the egg! And, there may possibly be lemons! I hope you enjoyed this chapter! And, we will have another visitor here in a couple chapters possibly two or three more. Can anyone remind me where we left Molly at? I would appreciate it! Thank you so much for the likes which we finally broke 100, follows we are almost at 200, and of course the amazing reviews which I read every single one, and take them into consideration when I continue the stories. Because, this is as much as your story as it is my own! I will update soon! Draco Lover Forever 1994!
