Part 5: It Has to End
A/N: J.K. Rowling owns everything except for the plot, which I, wonderful Delacour6 own. Mwahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!
We were out of the airport. A cab pulled up in front of us, and we hurried inside. We were at our destination soon.
"Thank you," I said quickly, and we ran before the driver could demand any money from us.
We kept running until we came to the beginning of the woods by the park. Then, of course, we took a deep breath and ran inside. I looked at my watch. 11:47. We had been running a while when Colin announced that he couldn't run anymore. Now, a lot of convenient things had happened to make my life interesting around now. And of course, in the woods, at 11:58, we ran into another old friend.
"Hermione! Er- Neville, right?" he exclaimed.
"No, it's Colin," Colin replied, sounding annoyed.
"Sorry," said Lupin, "You know, you'd better hurry. It's nearly midnight, and- and- there's a full moon..."
"Oh, no!" I cried. "Colin... he can't run anymore. Could you....?" I asked.
"Happy to. Nice seeing you," he cried. And he ran off to save us from being bitten by him.
"Colin, can't you at least walk?" I asked.
"I- I guess so..." he said. "Well, I mean..."
"Well, let's try."
He could walk. I could walk. Nothing could go wrong. Except...
"Colin, I think we're going the wrong way..."
"How could we be going the wrong way?" he asked. "We're not even trying to go anywhere in particular.
"No. I mean, I think I hear Lupin. That kind of wrong way," I whispered.
"I think you're forgetting something," he replied casually. "I can kill him a lot faster than he can bight either of us."
"Colin! Don't kill him! Please?" I asked, desperate.
"Sorry," he said. "You'll just have to endure it. That is, if it is him."
I shook my head glumly. I knew that the noise was Lupin. I knew that we would cross paths. And I knew that Colin meant he was wicked enough to kill even Sirius if he ever had any trouble with him. And I knew he was capable of killing.
Sure enough, a crazed, half human, half wolf strode into our path. And, it was Lupin. Colin took out his wand and strode up to him.
Pointing his wand at Lupin's face, he yelled, "Avada Kedavra!!!"
I covered my eyes, but when I opened them Lupin was alive, and Colin was writhing around on the forest floor, screaming in pain. I concluded from this that Colin had missed, and had then been bitten by Lupin. As I began to walk towards Colin, the wolf ran off.
When I finally came to my senses, I stopped walking towards Colin. I was the top student at Hogwarts all the years I was there, and I had more common sense than that. He had been bitten by a werewolf. Therefore, he would become a werewolf in a matter of seconds. So, I did the only reasonable thing to do. I ran.
**************************************************************************A/N: Poor Colin. Actually, I personally think he deserved it. Trying to kill Lupin! Really, what was he thinking? Ok, I'll shut up now. Nightmare time!
**************************************************************************
I stopped running when I found a cave underneath a tree. I climbed in, sat against a rock, and went to sleep. My mistake. As people usually do when asleep, I dreampt. Too bad I didn't have anything good in my life. I mean let's survey my life here. I'm born. I go to Hogwarts where I torture myself taking too many classes. Then, at my graduation, my true love asks me to marry him, right before Voldemort comes bursting through the door and kills him. I then become an auror and I am shut away from everyone I know. I finally meet Colin, here, who is bitten by a werewolf, and now I don't have any human contact, because I don't have my best friend, Harry Potter's phone number. I can't really make a good dream out of that, now can I? So, of course, I had a nightmare. When it began, I was sitting in a chair, talking to Harry and laughing. Ron sat down next to me, and all three of us started talking. All of the sudden, Ron's face changed to Voldemort's. Then, to Colin's. And, soon, to a werewolf's. The werewolf bit Harry, and I woke up, my best friend's screams ringing in my ears. I knew what it meant. And I knew, this time, I might not be able to help. But I would try. I had to.
**************************************************************************
I began to run out of the cave, but just as I reached the door, a snarling figure jumped out at me. Colin. I screamed and backed into the cave. He was soon gone. The moon was shining on the stone that I had been leaning against while I was asleep. I saw writing. I leaned towards it, and read:
He is here.
Then, I knew. I dashed out of the cave. I had to hurry. I came to a clearing, where I found Colin, who had transformed back into an evil wizard, and, of course, Harry. Harry looked up at me.
"Hermione!"
I just stood there. My face showed a look of loathing. Harry obviously knew I wasn't looking at him, because he turned around to look at Colin.
"Why are you looking at him like that?" he asked.
"Sorry," I replied, "Ministry secret."
Harry took my harsh tone rather personally. He turned away to look back at Colin. The disgusting vermin was looking at Harry in a not unkind way. In fact, I could see his old look of admiration glimmering beneath his eye lids.
"Hi, Hermione. It's Harry!" he squealed, sounding much like Neville.
So far, I had been forgiving. Ginny... okay. Lupin... okay. But Harry? That was asking too much. Far too much.
"Harry," I said, choosing my words carefully. "I can't tell you why, for certain ministry safety reasons, but... STAND BACK AND RUN!!!"
"Hermione, what's the problem," he asked in a tone not unlike mockery.
"Harry. I'm going to have to tell you," I said, "He is evil. And he is very much so. He killed Ginny. He tried to kill Lupin. And now..."
Harry was staring at me disbelievingly. However, he turned and walked away.
I turned to Colin. "You little-"
"Go away."
I stared. His childish remark surprised me. It set me off guard. He was good. Too good.
"Colin, is there something- What- How-" I didn't know how to react.
Suddenly, he lunged. I knew it. It was a trick. I reached for my wand. But it was too late.
**************************************************************************A/N: Please review. Next part will be last. And, probably the last for my non-humor fics, too. The next part will come out pretty soon. Just kidding! One more paragraph. One last paragraph in the series. Here it is. Yup, right now.
**************************************************************************
Everything began to go black. I saw Harry rush out behind a tree and I heard his scream. Then, it was the end. I vaguely saw a face. And then I realized who's. It was his. His. The face looked at me, and grinned. I smiled back.
