Harry Potter and the Dark Lord's Apprentice
Part 2



It was now 10:30 and Harry couldn't wait to get on his way to Ron's. There were two things on Harry's mind at this moment. One of which was monumentally more important then the other. His thought all afternoon had been on this strange dream that he had had. He couldn't figure out whether it was a sign or just his imagination playing tricks on him. "Mabye it was just my imagination trying to make me feel better about this whole situation." Harry thought. "Mabye none of what Cedric said was true." This thought scared Harry out of his mind. "If none of that ever happened then… THE NOTE TO CHO!!!" Harry stood as if turned into stone at this thought. "If none of that ever happened then I'm prbably the last person she wants to talk to." Harry thought about this for a good long time. In the end he resolved that it was better to have a shot at Cho liking him than no shot at all. This was the last and only chance he would ever have to straighten all of this out and put his life back together. The second thing on his mind was the fact that in all of this thinking a half of an hour had passed and Ron still wasn't there. Harry was wondering when and how exactly Ron' planed to get him away from the Dursley's. The fireplace was totally out of the question. He and Ron had recked the Weasley's car in their second year, and there was no way Ron's parents would let them ride their brooms out in the open where they could be seen by muggles. In the end harry just decided to trust Ron and go along with whatever.

At 11:15 Harry heard a loud blaring horn outside the front door of the house. From his window Harry couldn't see, to his great surprise, the Night Bus. Harry gave himself a mental kick in the behind for not thinking of this himself. He ran down from his room, opened the door and yelled, "QUIET!!! Your gonna wake my aunt and uncle! Luckily Harry and the driver were able to get everything out of Harry's room In a quiet timely manner. Just as Harry was about to step on the bus he remembered that he had to leave a note with his aunt and uncle. It wasn't that he wanted to, it's just that he didn't want Dumbledore to get upset with him in the dyer time.


"Hold on. I'll be right back." Harry yelled to the driver.


"Ok but hurry we still gotta pick up two more people!" The driver yelled back.

Harry ran up the stairs as fast as he could, scribbled down a note and bolted out of the house as if be chased by daemons. (In reality that was how harry felt about this house. He had had so many bad memories there that was haunted just to be there. Right then Harry vowed never to return to that house again) As Harry was having these thoughts, he had made his way to the bus and jumped on.

The rest of the bus ride was very uneventful. The driver had picked up two other passengers. One of which was dropped off before Harry, the other was still on the bus when Harry left. As the bus pulled up to the Burrow, Harry felt a warm feeling inside him. It was the feeling that he thought meant belonging. Harry had always felt at home at the Burrow. This was where he had first felt that he had a family that could love him. As the bus came to a halt Harry was pulled out of his thoughts and met with screams of joy. It was Hermione and all of the Weasleys were standing outside the burrow, apparently waiting for his arrival. Even Bill and Charlie were there.


"Go ahead and meet your friends, I'll take your stuff into the house." Said the driver.


"WOW! Thanks!" Harry yelled to the driver as he raced off the bus.

As soon as Harry stepped off the bus he was pelted with a barrage of greetings.


"Good ta' see ya Harry" Bill bellowed at him


"Nice ta' see ya Harry." Mr. Weasley said


"How's it goin'?" Charlie piped in.


"Hiya' Harry." Ginny yelled


"Hey Harry. We got something' ta show ya." The twins said as one while winking at Harry.

They were all pushed away as Mrs. Weasley came through and gave him one of those spine bending hugs. Even though Harry couldn't breath he couldn't stop himself from feeling loved be Mrs. Weasley. "I'm so glad Dumbeldore finally let us take you away from those awful people. Are you hungry?"


"No thank you Mrs. Weasley." Harry said


"Thirsty?"


"No thank you"


"You must be tired." Mrs. Weasly said


"No I'm ok thanks though." Harry said just the slightest bit agitated.


"Oh, well then ok but you tell me if you are." Mrs. Weasley said in a worried tone.


"I will." Harry said

In the midst of all this excitement Harry hadn't noticed Ron or Hermione before now. He saw them siting on the porch of the burrow side by side.

Harry called, "Hey you twoooo………"

Harry's jaw almost hit the ground when he looked at the two of them. Ron was sitting with his arm around Hermione's shoulder and her Head was laying on his. Hermione looked very tired but at the same time very content with her life at that moment in time. As soon as they saw him both of them turned a deep color of crimson and jumped off of the porch. It took Harry a little while and a good shake from Ron to come back to reality.


"Is this what I think it is?" Harry said monotonously.

Ron spoke up, " Harry, this was the certain reason that she didn't got to Bulgaria."

Harry just frowned and began shaking his head.


"Harry, what's wrong?" They said simultaneously.


" Oh nothing nothing." Harry said.


" So whadda ya think?" Ron said a little worriedly.


" What do I think? (at this point Harry broke into a smile and began laughing) I think it took ya long enough!!!"

All three of them began to laugh uncontrollably, but the relief was more than apparent on Ron and Hermione's faces.

At this point the rest of the family had already gone in side so the three friends decided to head up to Ron's room and discuss what happened over each of their summers so far.

When they reached Ron's room Harry just couldn't hold the question back any longer.


" So when did you too… well hook up" Harry said almost uncomfortably.

Hermione needed no more encouragement than that to go into a long detailed story.

Hermione began, " Well really it all started with the Yule Ball. When Krum asked me to the Ball I just said yes because I was worried that no one would ask me. I was hopin' that Ron would ask me but unfortunately he did after it was too late, and even then he didn't really ask me.


"Oh yah you were pretty mad." Harry said trying to hold back a laugh.


"ha ha," Hermione sarcastically. "but anywise. Well after the Ball that night Ron told me in his own…. way that he liked me. Well his way was by yelling at me about how stupid I was not to notice that he liked me. After that I started yelling at him saying some thin' really dumb like, well if that kind of thing makes u stupid, then what's your IQ. Something really stupid like that. After that you walked in and heard the rest. After that it took both of us a long time to bring up that topic again. It made it even harder for Ron because of that most important person second task thing. Ron got really jealous of Krum and finally brought up the subject again right before the third task. We both kinda figured out that we liked each other and so I guess that that's when we became boyfriend-girlfriend. Then if you remember, right before the train ride home Krum came to talk to me away from you two."


"yah I remember," Harry said

Yah well that's when I told him the whole story about me just pretending to like him to make Ron jealous and that I wouldn't be visiting him this summer. He was actually really nice about it and even promised to be sociable around Ron.


"Why was I now informed of this" Harry said trying his best to look hurt.

This time Ron spoke up. " Well we didn't want to give you anymore to think about before that last task, and after the task we really didn't talk much about anything till now.


"Well that's great!" Harry said very supportively of the two.

Ron piped up while putting his arm around Hermione's shoulder, " so have there been any new developments in your life over the summer?"


"YOU HAVE NOOOOO IDEA…" Harry said.


" OK well we have time to hear." Hermione said for both her and Ron, "what's happened?"

This time it was Harry's turn to relate a long story to the two. "well it all started with this dream that I had right before I came……" Harry related the whole dream as well as his sending a letter to Cho to Hermione and Ron. It felt so good to Harry to have someone that he could share his feelings with. Both Ron and Hermione stayed silent until the end of the story. "So whadda ya think?"


"I think that I got something for you." Ron said with a sly smile on his face.


"What?" Harry asked


" Right before you got here this strange owl tapped on my window. It left a letter with your name on it. Here, look at it." Ron said

Harry grabbed the envelope out of Ron's hand and read the letter outloud to Hermione and Ron.





Dear Harry,

Your I need to talk to you as soon as possible! Meet me tomorrow night at the Three Broomsticks at 5 pm.

Please come,

Love,
Cho






There was a silence and then harry said only one thing. " I need to get there!"


OK Please let me know what you think. I needed to do something with Ron and Hermione so this was what I came up with. I think that there is a good chance that this will actually happen in the fifth book. Please review. it doesn't take that long and last chapter on 1 out of every8 people that read it reviewed. Please review and I'll try to hurry with the next chapter.
