A.N. I know this chapter is short, that's because we haven't gotten to the exciting stuff yet. But later on in the story, the chapters will get longer.
Chapter 2
Hermione looked at both of them and then said, "Very funny joke Harry. I almost believed you there for a second," She looked at their faces and sat down, "You are joking aren't you Harry, Lavender"
Lavender looked at Harry, and then said, "This is no joke Herm. It's real. And if Voldemort doesn't kill Ron, He'll kill Harry".
Hermione was still sitting down. She had started to silently cry. Harry can over and sat down in front of her. "Hermione," he said, "I have to go and save Ron, he's my friend. I can't leave him at the hands of Voldemort. You and Lavender can come with me if you want. But you two may not come back, I know I won't"
"He knows he's going to die" Hermione thought, "and it doesn't even bother him". "I'll go. For Ron. And for you." She said. Hermione wiped away her tears. She stood up.
"I'm coming too," Lavender said, "We can't let you see Ron die. And you'll need a whole lot of help". She too stood up, "I'll go grab our Firebolts. Hermione you can ride behind Harry" and with that, Lavender left with a faint smile on her face.
"I'm going to write a letter to Dumbledore about where we're going." Harry said, "You can go get some food from the house- elves, or would you rather me do it?" Harry said, thinking back to their fourth year, back when the only problems they had were how to breathe under water.
"Desperate times call for desperate matters," Hermione said, "I'll go get some food." And with that, she walked out of her dorm, thinking it might be the last time she would see it.
Dumbledore's appetite for dinner had just been ruined. He handed the letter from Harry, Lavender and Hermione to Prof. McGonagall.
Dear Professor Dumbledore,
Ron Weasley
has been kidnapped by Death Eaters. They left a note saying that if I don't
come, they'll kill Ron. Hermione, Lavender and I are going to look for him. If
I don't come back, don't bother with telling the Dursleys, they won't care. I
will try to protect both of the girls. They aren't the ones Voldemort wants.
They don't deserve to die.
Please don't
inform the school yet about our trip,
Harry
Potter
Professor McGonagall went white, "Albus. We have to stop them. We can't let them do that." She said.
"Yes we can!" he said rather firmly, "They are adults now. This is their fate. They have to meet with Voldemort." Dumbledore said. He looked out at the crowd of students, oblivious to the fact that there was anything wrong. Then, under his breath, Dumbledore said, "Harry and Hermione won't die. Neither will Lavender or Ron. It will be another."
While Dumbledore was reading the letter, Harry, Hermione, and Lavender were so far away, the castle was just a speck in the distance. And they had much, much further to go.
