THE WISH PT IV
Ron woke up early the next morning, not knowing where he was. He rubbed his groggy eyes and looked around. He was in the hospital wing. Then the memories of last night flooded into his mind. Why would anyone ever do something like that to her, or to any girl? He was determined to solve this mystery, and the slimy git who did this would pay.
"Ron?" It was Harry. "Are you awake?"
"Yes, I am," Ron replied, sitting up.
"Well," Harry continued, " Dumbledore wants me, You, and Herm to come to his office immediately after we all wake up. So far, only Herm is still sleeping"
" Well, we might as well wake her," He said, brushing his startingly red hair back. " She'll probably sleep till noon if we don't."
"Alright then," Harry said, putting his glasses on. "Herm?" He whispered, tapping her lightly on the shoulder.
" What, have I missed a class? Oh no!! I must get to Herbology!" She shouted, jumping out of bed.
"No, Hermi, it's not that, Dumbledore wants us in his office," Ron explained, watching her go slightly red.
"Oh, well, I better get dressed then!" She added quickly, and limped behind the curtain.
In a couple of minutes, the three of them were making their way to Dumbledore's office, in total silence. Hermione's head was bent, and her hair was covering her eyes. I hate to see her like this, Ron thought. He liked the old Hermi, the one that always begged him to do his homework and argued with him over nothing at all. Why did this have to happen?
Ron Hardly noticed that Harry had given the gargoyle the password and that they were already at the door to Dumbledore's office. Harry knocked, and a calm, farmiliar voice said "Enter."
" Hello Harry. Ronald. Hermione," He said as they walked in. "Please take a seat." They sat down, and He continued.
" I know you three are wondering why you are here, but there is a mystery to be solved. I know this will be painful for you, Miss Granger, but I have to ask you look into the depths of your memory and describe the man.
Hermione gulped. She took a deep breath, and spoke.
"Well, He was a tall man, and he had black robes on. I couldnt make out anything else because he had a hood over his head." She sat back in her chair, holding back tears.
" Hermione," said Dumbledore calmly," I need you to tell me exactly what you remember from that point."
She took another deep breath, and spoke again.
" He had a wand, and I remember him saying some kind of spell, and then I had gashes and cuts all over me. Then I remember falling to the ground, and being knocked out, and thats all I remember. But I know he raped me." She finished, sitting back in her chair again.
"So you don't remeber him raping you, but you know he did?" Dumbledore asked, his hand stroking his chin.
"Yes," She replied, tears strolling down her face.
Ron and Harry, who had been listening intenly, rushed over to her, and comforted her. Ron took her hand and held it, and she gripped tighter, as if his hand felt reassuring to her.
" I have come to a conclusion," Dumbledore said. " Hermione, you were not raped. Even though you think you were, you don't really remember it, and that leads to me thinking that whoever hoodwinked you into thinking you were raped, was really trying to kill you."
" But why would someone want to kill Hermi?" Ron asked the Professor, Hermione's hand gripping his tighter.
"Well, that I do not yet know, but i do have a hypothesis." The professor stated, His eyes twinkling.
"So, what is it professor?" Harry asked, his hands gripping the edges of his chair, his face pale.
" Well," Dumbledore began again.He gestured at Ron and Hermione. " You two are Harry's best friends, right?" They nodded. "And who wants Harry to be dead more then anything else in the world?"
" VOLDEMORT?" Harry gasped, his eyes widening.
"Yes. And you two," He said, pointing to Ron and Hermione again, " Are the only ones stopping him. Remember how you helped him find the stone in your first year, and how you helped him in the Chamber of Secrets, Ron? If it was'nt for you two, Harry would be dead." He finished, setting his elbows on the table.
"So," he said speaking again, looking at the bewildered looks on their faces, "Voldemort can only get to Harry by killing those who stand in his way. And, I believe that you two are his prime victims."
Ron and Hermione looked at each other. Ron then looked at Harry, and then Harry looked at Hermione. They got up and left the office in silence, making their way to Gryffindor tower. Harry muttered the password in sort of a trance, and they sat down on one of the big fluffy couches in the common room.
" I'm not going to let you two die!" Harry said suddenly, standing up, and stomping his foot. " We are going to get through this!!"
" Harry, we're beside you all the way," Hermione said, speaking for Ron and Her.
" Absolutely," Ron added. He barely noticed that He was still holding Hermione's hand.
" I'm going to write to Sirius," Harry said, rummaging for a piece of parchment in his bag. " This is going to be a looong year," He sighed.
Ron and Hermione nodded. Neither of them, nor Harry, knew what was in store for them.
Sooooooo? Whadda u think??? PLEASE R/R!!!!
