Harry awoke that morning to find he was the only one in the boys dorms. He looked at the time, that explained everything. He tumbled out of bed and began to look for his clothing. Upon finding it and dressing, he went to go find Hermione. Harry started at the great hall assuming she had gone to eat breakfast. She wasn't there. That was weird, where could she be? Harry mentally slapped himself, standing there was not going to help him find her. Walking over to a group of seventh year girls in gryffindor, he asked Lavender, Rons girlfriend. As he waited for a reply , Lavender replied with a blank look and a shrug. " i didn't see her" last night said Lavender. " you didn't see her? " No i didn't see i got to the dorm late and she was gone before i woke up, i have no clue where she could be" said Lavender with no apparent signs of worry. Harry just frowned and walked away to look for Hermione. " God where could she be" mumbled Harry to himself. He had searched all the places he thought she might be except, the potion dungeons. " Oh no" gasped Harry as he ran toward the potion dungeons. He dearly hopped he would not find her there. As Harry started to hurl himself down the steps her heard a noise that made his blood run cold, Hermione yelling at Malfoy. Without thinking he ran full speed to the door only to find it was locked. Harry's mind stopped. What was that spell Hermione used to open doors thought Harry wildly fighting panic. " Alohmohora" yelled Harry. That did the trick, the door flung open and he entered the dungeon with one thought, to find Hermione and hurt Malfoy. All was silent. He wondered if Malfoy could have heard him come in. Harry proceeded forward and around the corner. Crabbe had his hand over Hermione's mouth while she desperately tried to scream while thrashing at Malfoy who was tracing her lips with his fingers and talking to her while Goyle was passed out probbably because he drank to much. He was secretly supprised that Malfoy was not out with Goyle considering it looked like he too was extreamly drunk. Hermione finaly spotted Harry in the corner. She was so happy. All she wanted to do was get hell away from these freaks of nature. Hermione shut her eyes, Malfoy just kissed her neck for the 19th time today. Harry was beside himself with anger as he jumped out of the corner onto Malfoy. Harry wrestled Malfoy to the ground as Hermione kicked Crabbe away, Crabbe obliged falling to the floor. Malfoy tried to punch Harry but instead owing to the fact he was really intoxicated accidently missed and hit Goyle who did not move in the slightest. Crabbe ran for it tripping over himself. God he was clumsy. Now it was just Hermione, Harry, and Draco. Harry starred along time at Malfoy before speaking in a horse, raspy voice. " You idiot" Harry whispered. " You freak" screamed Harry tightning his grip on Malfoy. " I should beat you into a bloody pulp" said Harry angrily. Malfoy made a swipe for Harry but ended up missing. " Why should you" said Malfoy lazily " She's just a mudblood" Malfoy said through gritted teeth. " Not like anyone would care, we were just having fun" whispered Draco maliciously . " Having fun doing what" asked Harry scathingly. " Oh you know pissing Potter off, scaring the mudblood, doing what death eaters do" replied Malfoy laughing. " Death eater" what the heck do they have to do with this" asked Harry puzzled. " Everything" claimed Malfoy" " Wh" Harry was cut off. There was spells going off everywhere. People apparated in, that was impossible Hogwarts had charms so you could not do that. These people were not just people, they were black hooded death eaters. It hit him, Malfoy was a death eater and Hermione was a trap to get him. And they could do that and kill a mudblood, the plan was so ingenious it was freaky. Harry heard someone yelling, it was Hermione cussing Malfoy out. It seemed she had disarmed him and was getting revenge. She hit him with a dissarming spell. Perhaps Harry should have been paying more attention to the other death eaters considering one snuck up behind him and hit him with the same words that had caused him unbelievable pain in the third task, " Crucio". Harry fell to the ground screaming in excruciating pain. He suddenly began to lose sense of the havoc around him until he heard a scream, and Saw Hermione disarming everydeath eater in sight. except for one who had been hiding, wormtail. Wortail crept out of the corner and behind Hermione, putting a hand over her mouth, he hit her with the cruciatius curse. Hermione's world went black, it hurt so bad. This was not the first time she had been hit with this curse, Malfoy had hit her with it for entertainment. Hermione's body stopped twiching. The curse was off but she still ached all over. She sat up wincing in pain. She looked around, all the death eaters were gone. Only Harry remain on the floor. He was not moving was he dead? Hermione stood up and ran over to where he lay with his eyes shut. Oh my god he's dead thought Hermione. Hermione felt the side of his neck checking for a pulse. The vain in his neck was still throbing, thank god for that. He was sweaty all over. What had they done to him? Hermione touched his check and his eyes fluttered open. He looked like a lost little kid scared and frightened. What could they have done to him? Harry grabbed Hermione's hand. God was he glad to see her alive. He tried to sit up but Hermione pushed him down. She pulled out her wand and conjured a stretcher which she put him on. The stretcher which she levitated. God he was tired. Hermione stopped at the hospital wing. Madam Pomfrey rushed over to look at Harry, she was devastated. Madam Pomfrey transfered Harry to a bed and asked Hermione to step outside. Hermione did as she was told wondering what in the devil they had done to Harry. Almost instantly after that thought Dumbledore rushed into the hospital wing, what the hell was going on for christsakes. Hermione started to nod off a short time later Hermione was ushered in. Harry was on a bed sleeping. She looked up at Dumbledore. " Sit down please Hermione" said Dumbledore softly. Hermione was happy to sit down. " Harry has been hit the cruciatus curse and another curse that should not be mixed, the disarming curse". " He is lucky he is'nt dead" Dumbledore said sighing. " Is he alright" asked Hermione carefully looking at his sleeping form. " Yes, he will be" Dumbledore said with weariness in his voice. " He is just in an enchanted sleep" so he can rest said Madam pomfrey felling his forehead. " He has a high fever" whispered Madam Pomfrey. All Hermione wanted to do was kiss him and craddle him in her arms. Madam Pomfrey and Dumbledore and Dumbledore left after cleaning Hemione up. She went to sit by Harry's bed. She kissed his warm forehead. How her heart ached for him.
