THE WISH PT VII
Ron felt a cold breeze brush past his hair and ruffle the leaves of the trees up ahead. Harry, Hermione, and Him were on a mission, a mission so dangerous they didn't know they were going to come out alive.Ron kept telling himself it would all be okay, and that everything was going to be fine, but a little voice kept popping up in the back of his head, as if to prove him wrong.
The three were on a trek to the forbidden forest, to gather clues about Voldemort or any sort of Death Eater. Harry was in the lead, He knew the area better than any of them. Hermione was in the middle, and Ron took up the rear. Ron felt uneasy in the back of the line, but he was glad that he could protect Hermione this way.
They trudged along the path, their wand tips alight, searching for any spec of evil or trace of Voldemort. They reached the edge of the forest, and Harry turned to face the other two.
" I just want you guys to know," Harry started, bowing his head, " That I will always love both of you, as much as a friend can love another. You guys have always been there for me, and no matter what happens, I will be there for you." He finished this, and brought his head up to look at them, his green eyes sparkling in the moonlight.
" Oh Harry!" Hermione said, tears welling up in her eyes, " We love you too!"
" Yeah," said Ron, running his fingers through his hair, " We'll always be there for you too, you mean so much to us."
Hermione's face had cascades of tears coming down them now, and Ron felt little prickles in his eyes too, but he told himself he wasnt going to cry. Hermione grabbed them both by the shoulder, and pulled them into a hug. For once, they returned it.
" Ok guys," Harry said, pulling away. " We have a mission, and we are by no means gonna chicken out. I'll take the lead, Herm, you take the middle, and Ron, you take the rear."
They both did what he said, because he was more experienced at this sort of adventure thing. They were off.
Hermione suggested after a couple of minutes that they search the trees as well as the ground, because people and things leave more than footprints. Harry agreed, and so did Ron, so they walked more slowly, examining everything closely. After awhile, they had sucess.
" Hey!" Harry shouted to his friends behind him. " I found something!"
Hermione and Ron ran toward his wandlight and his voice, occaisonally tripping over tree roots and stones.
" What, what is it?" Ron panted, leaning against a tree.
" Well, it's a shred of clothing, and its soaked with some sort of liquid," said Harry, peering in at the object more closely. " Here Herm, you have a look."
Hermione squinted at the torn piece of fabric. " This is part of a wizard's robe," she said, and then sniffed it. " No, it cant be, why, this liquid is a memory alterator potion."
" What's that?" Harry and Ron chourused together.
" Its a potion that will make you think something happened, even though it really didn't." She replied, sniffing it again.
" Hold on," Ron blurted out, " Herm, this is what whatever attacked you fed you. It made you think you were raped, but you really werent." He looked at Hermione, to find that she was shuddering at the memory of her dreadful ordeal.
" I'm sorry, Herm," Ron said, wrapping his arms around her. They stayed there for a couple of seconds, and then broke away.
Harry was putting the shard of cloth in a sealed bubble, and setting it in his sack.
" You guys," He said, looking scared for a minute. " This must mean the attacker is nearby!"
" This memory alterator potion looks fresh," Hermione said, looking at the bubble in Harry's bag.
" You don't suppose......" Ron said, but he was cut off. A swift breeze hit them suddenly, knocking them down. The sky became illuminated with green light, and the wind picked up.
It was him.
