Hey people who are brave enough to venture this far into my story!!! Well, another all-important chapter. This was an ok part in the play, but there is a song, Easy as life, that has lots of emotion, it's one of my favorites. Well, now that you're full of useless information, let's get this chapter started, Epequa ;)
Disclaimer: Nothing, whatsoever in this fic, belongs to me. Although, I do have a large collection of old movies and mint cups that I can vouch for.
Chapter 12 - Rough
Harry left to go accept a new prisoner and to take them to the dungeons. Hermione decided to go back to Pansy's room.
She stayed there until dusk had left its imprint on the last of the clouds. She decided to walk the corridors and maybe go see if Draco was anywhere around. It was then that she noticed Harry sprinting towards her again.
"What is up with you, Harry?" she asked. This was the second time she had seen him desperately wanting to see her.
"There's no time to explain. We've got to hurry.' He said taking her hand again. "That new prisoner wasn't just any normal prisoner. It's…" he stopped and opened a hidden door.
"Dumbledore?" Hermione said, not wanting to believe it. "No, no how did they get you?"
"Draco Malfoy's army invaded our safe place. All the others got away." Dumbledore said. He then noticed the ring on her hand. "Hermione, I can't believe Voldemort didn't notice your sorceress ring. You can get us out." He said happily.
"How can I?" she said unbelievingly. "I can only call upon the most powerful sorcerers and sorceresses. The only thing I can do is make more trouble for the good side."
"Hermione, have you forgotten that quickly?" Dumbledore said imploringly. "Your ring is the ultimate portkey. Just tell it where you want to go and it will take you. It's the most efficient item to travel."
"So that means that you can save us all." Harry said excitedly. "We just need to pick a time when there is low security, if we had only done it today. Wait the wedding!"
"You're right Harry." Dumbledore said. "Everyone will be there. We just need you to be there. I wish I still had mine. Can you get away from the wedding?"
"Of course," said Hermione, her mouth starting to go dry.
"I hope neither of you have made any kind of relations with the other side, because they may head us off and we need no emotions holding us back." Dumbledore said quietly.
"Hermione, we've got to go." Said Harry, noticing Goyle coming nearer to put Dumbledore back in his cell.
Rather hesitantly, she left. Harry and Hermione walked in silence for a while, when Harry finally spoke up. "Hermione, you've got to push him aside."
"How did you know?" asked Hermione incredulously.
"Hermione, you may be the smartest person I know, but you're not the type that can hide things easily." Said Harry, looking into her eyes. They held something that looked a little like urgency with a little bit of guilt.
"I can't leave my people behind. There will be others, right?" She asked uncertainly. In all their years of friendship, Harry had never seen Hermione look so scared."
"Definitely," Harry answered simply. "There is a time when love conquers all, and, unfortunately, you're in a situation where it doesn't."
"You're right," she said, breathing deep. "I'll see you in the dungeons at 7:00 tomorrow. Good night, Harry."
"Good night, trust me, you're doing the right thing." Harry said, and he gave her a reassuring smile.
The plan was flawless and Hermione was certain that she could put Draco behind her. The wedding was tomorrow and all the suffering of the good side would be ended. Well, there was someone who was determined to make sure that there was going to be no wedding tomorrow, throwing her plans to the wind.
A/N: Sorry it took me so long to get this chapter out, I just wasn't feeling it until the end. Love and glue to all my reviewers (I'm doing a very gluey art project and I think my fingers have about five extra layers of dried glue on them) Well, please review and I promise to have the next chapter out tomorrow. Thanks, Epequa ;)
