Chapter 5
Hermione stepped into the dormitary and was immediatly greeted by Lavender...
"Oh Hermione, you're so brave! How can you do this, just going and duelling with the Dark Lord?"
"It is my destiny." she replied
Hermione went to her trunk and opened it. She dug through to the bottom and Pulled out her lucky cloak. That was the cloak she had worn at the beginning of the year when she was made a prefect. She also took out her wand. Again, she remembered it's past owner, as she had done so many times before. The previous saviour, James Potter. And then there was the necklace, worn around her neck, it beared the crest of her generation of witches and wizards. A pattern of detailed vines all tangled, to represent the connection between all witches and wizards. Then, of course, right down the middle, was the half lightning bolt. Identical to Harry's scar. She put the cloak on, and took the wand in her hand. The necklace, as always, was around her neck. She walked out of the dorm and into the common room, where everyone was waiting. Now, all she could do was wait with them.
"Are you ready, Hermione?"
"Yes, I am"
"But aren't you forgetting something?"
Of course - the firebolt Sirius bought her. She ran into the dorm, grabbed the broom, and bought it back out with her.
"Now, there is only one thing left for me to do." announced Dumbledore. "Severus, gather the students out in the grounds."
"Sir?"
"Do it." Snape went out of the common room to collect the Slytherin students.
The rest of the people in Gryffindor tower left, except Dumbledore, Ron, Harry and Hermione.
"Good luck Hermione" said Ron, and hugged her. She kissed him on the cheek.
"Thanks Ron - I'll need it."
Ron turned and followed the others.
"This is a very big responsibility Hermione" said Dumbledore, with a look of pity in his eyes. "Are you sure you can do it?"
"I don't think I have any choice."
"Well, good luck, Chosen One."
And with that, Dumbledore followed just as Ron had done.
"I guess I have to wish you good luck now eh" said Harry
"Guess so"
"Do you mind if I don't actually 'say' it?"
"What do you..." Hermione was interrupted by Harry grabbing hold of her and kissing her as he had done before. But this time it was different. Hermione felt a rush of feeling towards Harry, and wrapped her arms around his neck. They ended the kiss, and simply stood there, as if waiting for something to happen. It did.
Suddenly screams came from outside in the grounds and it was clear that someone had made an entrance. It was also clear, who that someone was.
"I have to go." Said Harry, and he turned towards the door
"Wait!" cried Hermione. "There's something I have to tell you - incase...incase I don't make it"
Harry turned round and looked into Hermione's eyes. She took his hands and said, softly,
"I love you, Harry"
Harry kissed her quickly and ran out onto the grounds. Now, it was all up to Hermione.
