The Wrath of Lord Voldemort (Part 14)

"Where do you think Harry's gone? I mean, he went north, so how far ahead could be?" Ginny asked, looking around the dark forest below her. "I don't know." Ron replied. They were flying over the forest, looking for a sign of a person down below them. So far… they had no luck. "Harry will probably be fine. I mean, he's been in more trouble then this before. But, I hope that Hermione's OK. She's not the fighting type of person. I'm going closer down to the ground. Maybe, we'll find Harry or Hermione." Ginny said. The broom went down and they were flyer way closer to the ground.

Melody was flying behind them, wondering where they were going. She was starting to get tired. She had never flown on a broom before, except when she was on the broom with her mother. But…her mother wasn't here, and she couldn't let Ginny and Ron find her. Not yet…not until it started to get interesting. 'Come on! Do something interesting… please!" Melody thought, following behind the others. She got her broom to go down, so that she could try and follow Ginny and Ron through the dense tree's ahead.

*~*

The sun was now fully up… it had been up for about an hour. Harry was still walking along the forest, he couldn't see too much, considering the trees were to dense in this area. His ears and eyes were open though, looking and trying to hear anything nearby. No luck so far!

"I'm going to give up on this soon! I can't find Hermione, hopefully she is alright," He looked down at his broom. "Come on! Hurry up and recharge." He shook the broom, knowing that it would do no good. But… it did have some use. As soon as he shook the broom, somewhere far away a scream was heard. It echoed through the forest, until it reached Harry. He stopped and looked around. "That. Sounded like Hermione." He said to himself. He then took off at full force into the forest. Not thinking of riding his broom, he just ran off it dodging the trees. One thought was going through his mind right then. 'Hermione better be alright.'

*~*

"STOP SCREAMING!" Fudge yelled, as he tried to get Hermione into the Black Punch Buggy car. Hermione looked at Fudge to Peter. They were both now trying to force her into the car. But she had her feet up, and on each side of the car door, stopping her from going inside the car. "Put your feet down. We have a schedule to keep!" Fudge yelled, still trying to force her into the car.

Peter rolled his eyes and stalked up to where Hermione and Fudge were. He grabbed her legs, thinking that if he put them together, she would get into the car. But… he was so ever wrong. He grabbed one of her legs, and when he went to grab the other one, she pulled her foot up and kicked him right in the nose. He let go off her one leg and stumbled back holding his nose.

"Damn you girl. Get her in that car. Potter will be here before it's too late!" Peter yelled, glaring at Hermione, then at Fudge. He looked up in the sky, as if expecting Harry Potter to fly down on him right then. Fudge glared back and rolled his eyes. "I'm trying, but she's a brat. And, she doesn't listen to her adults very well!" Fudge shouted, and glared at Peter. "Can't you help me at all!"? He yelled.

Peter looked up and looked at Fudge. "I could… but I don't want to. I'll be on the lookout for Potter and his friends. Hurry up." Peter snarled and grabbed his wand. "Don't you dare point that wand at me Mr. Pettigrew. I can easily lock you up in Azkaban… the Dementors will like that." Fudge replied. He now also had his wand out. Peter waved what he said away.

"You might be able to take me to Azkaban… but not if I kill you first." He said. Fudge gasped and dropped Hermione to the ground. She landed with a thud and an OW!! She looked up; Fudge and Peter were fighting like the young muggle kids she used to baby-sit. Only this time they had wands and magic, and the power to kill someone.

She closed her eyes, hoping this was a dream. Hoping that she would wake up in the girls' dorm at Hogwarts. And not here, in nowhere land. She sighed, and then got an idea. If the two of them were locked in battle with each other, she might be able to escape to Hogwarts or any place of shelter. She got up and started to slowly walk away to the dense forest behind her. She was just about to escape, when someone pointed her out.

"Hey! There goes that girl. Stop her!" Peter shouted, stopping the fight and pointing at Hermione. Fudge stopped, turned and looked at her. 'Bloody Hell! They found me!' Hermione thought. Maybe, she could still escape them. She broke off into a run, but she didn't get to far.

"Petrificus Totalus!" A voice shouted.

A white light was coming at her. It surrounded her, and it froze her. She couldn't move, she was like a statue that never would move. She crashed to the ground with a Thump!  Peter and Fudge laughed. "That should teach her to listen to her elders!" Fudge roared, and Peter laughed. Hermione looked at them, like they were going to kill her; right then and there. Her eyes started to water. 'Harry! Where are you? Please come here… soon!' She thought. She blinked and Fudge and Peter were gone.

"Huh?" She asked herself, looking very confused. All the sudden, a spell was yelled, and a light went over her head. Then it dawned on her, they were battling each other again. She sighed, and there was no way out this time. Only, maybe, someone was coming to save her.

*~*

Ginny and Ron had now gone so far down to the ground, that if they went down any farther they would hit the trees! Melody was still following them, only a little bit higher up. She sighed, hoping that Ginny and Ron would ever go down for a rest. She was still in her fuzzy green pyjamas, and very tired. If this went on much longer, she would have to tell them she was here… or crash into the nearby trees. Then, within a blink of an eye, all the trees were gone. And, in it's place, stood a clearing. It wasn't very big though.

Melody sighed. Ron and Ginny didn't look like they were going to give up any time soon for a rest. 'This is just great," She said to herself looking down at the clearing. 'I might as well just show them I'm here… no—" She was cut off in mid sentence when the trees below her fell down and out walked Harry Potter. He ran through the clearing and into the forest on the other side. Melody looked from Ron and Ginny to where Harry had disappeared.

"What should I do? Follow Ginny and Ron or follow Harry and Her-o-my-knee?" She asked herself. She quickly shrugged it off and commanded the broom to go down. The broom went down and into the dense trees below. Ron, all of the sudden turned around. "Hey Ginny. Did you fell like someone was behind us… until a few seconds ago?" Ron asked her, looking around. Ginny nodded. "Yeah. But… worry about that later. We have to find Harry and Hermione." Ginny said, and continued on flying.

*~*

The trees were getting thicker as they went on. The farther Melody tried to fly, the harder it became. She sighed, and slowed her broom down, until it was at a 'gliding' stage. She glided through the bushes for a while, until she saw Harry a little ways ahead. She brought her broom up into the air. She wanted to see what Harry was looking at. He was crouching behind a little bush, looking at something on the other side. When she was up in the sky and looked down, she noticed what it was. A black punch buggy was on the other side, two men were fighting and a girl with brown hair was lying on the ground, with a white mist around her.

'Hmmm… that must be Her-o-my-knee.' Melody said to herself. She would have thought about what to do know, but she was caught of guard. Her broom started moving all over the place like it was being controlled by something. She clung onto her broom handle, thinking she was going to fall off it. Within seconds, the broom made a fast movement, and Melody was thrown off the broom. She was hanging in mid-air only staying there by her grip on the handle. The broom made another movement. It sounded like it coughed, and that was that.

The broom decided that it didn't want to fly anymore. It plunged for the ground, it wouldn't stop, and Melody was too small to seeing herself into a sitting position and try to control the broom. She closed her eyes, not wanting to see the crash to the ground. The only thing she didn't realize… was that Harry Potter was crouching in her way. Within a few very long seconds she had crashed into his back. It caught him off guard. The two crashed through the bushes and into the next clearing. Hermione was trying to gasp, but it didn't work. 

Fudge and Peter stopped trying to kill each other and turned to where the noise was coming from. They gasped when they saw Harry Potter… and a little girl? Since when did Harry have a little sister? The two men sneered at the two of them. Peter then stepped forward.

"Potter. We finally meet again. No godfather or parents to protect you this time," Peter sneered and glared at Harry. "Oh… and who did you bring with you? Hmm… it's a little girl. Is this your sister or girlfriend? Are you going to fight, or sit here and watch us kill you, the girl behind you and the girl over there." He pointed to Hermione. Harry huffed and glared at him. Melody, being how old she was, did something else. She crossed her arms like Harry had done, and stuck her tongue out.

"Pettigrew," Harry drawled. "We meet again. True, my godfather and parents aren't here… but I'm still here. And, so, is my…er…sidekick?" Harry said. He was at a loss for words on what to say about Melody and why she was there. He put a hand in front of Melody.

"Don't you dare try and hurt her. I'm the one you want." Harry said, braver then he actually was. The two laughed at Harry's 'braveness' and grabbed their wands… and started to advance on him. Harry tumbled with his wand, while Melody got a firmer grip on her broom. The battle was about to begin. Fire could be seen in all there eyes; minus Hermione's. Everyone had their wands and broom. The war of the year was about to begin. It was two on two. Two adults vs. one teenage boy and child around the age of eight. Hermione was in the corner of the clearing, looking for one to the other. She had no idea who this kid was, and why she was there. She was horrified about what was going to happen. Harry was probably going to die. She tried to yell to him, telling him to stop… but it all came out in muffled sounds. No one heard her, or could even understand what she was saying.

"Prepare to go down, Potter. You destroyed the lord and my master. I will avenge him and bring him back for all to fear!" Pettigrew yelled into the silent air. Fudge nodded, and joined in. "Also, for making me look like a fool at that court meeting with Sirius Black!" Fudge roared. Harry rolled his eyes.

Melody had no idea what was going on, and didn't really care. "Shut-up, all of you. Let's battle!" She shouted. She grabbed her mothers broom and ran out from under Harry's arm and knocked Pettigrew in the head. That caught him off guard. That's when the fight began. Someone would win and someone would lose and maybe die.

*~*

Ron and Ginny were still flying up and above the dense forest. They were both getting tired from flying all night long, and still no sign of Harry or Hermione. "Maybe this is just a joke, set up by the both of them. We've been all over this forest!" Ginny yelled, sounding like she was giving up. Ron sighed and looked up at her. "Come on Ginny. Don't give up now! We must be close to finding them. Sport said that Harry only left around forty minutes to an hour before her arrived." Ron assured her. Ginny nodded and continued on flying.

After many minutes of flying, Ginny started to slow back down. "My hands and eyes are tired from holding this broom and looking for the two of them. I'm going to land this broom. You can fly from here on… I'm too tired to kepp on flying. Unless you want to be dead… I can keep flying." Ginny said with a laugh. Ron laughed as well.

"Pull down over there. I'll switch you." He said, pointing to some dense trees. Ginny was just bringing the broom down, when they heard something. Someone calling out on of the unforgivable curse, a little girl screaming, and sparks flying up from a clearing a little bit away.

"What was that?!?!" Ginny and Ron yelled in unison. They looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders out of confusion. Ginny then came to life, she grabbed the broom's handle and brought it back up from the trees and they sped off towards where the sparks were flying up from. When they were over the clearing they gasped. Harry, Hermione, Melody, Fudge and Pettigrew were locked in battle. Except for Hermione, she was lying down by the dense trees, with a white mist hanging around her.

"She has a spell on her." Ron muttered. Ginny nodded and they hovered there was a moment… thinking for something to do. After thinking for about five seconds, they thought of an idea. "I'm going to jump down from this broom and help Harry and Melody. Go into the forest by Hermione, Ginny. Get her in the forest, and bring her back to life. Then both of you come and help us." Ron said. Ginny semi-nodded.

She brought the broom down a few feet. Ron looked down. He had about twenty feet or somewhere between there to jump down. He would chance it though. "Wish me luck." He said, and then he was gone. Ginny watched her brother fall. She couldn't take it anymore. She quickly grabbed her wand.

"Wingardium Leviosa!" She shouted, and pointed the wand at Ron. He stopped falling, and Ginny managed to get him down on the ground, unnoticed and in one piece. She smiled, and went off flying over the clearing, and down in between the trees. When she reached the ground, she set Malfoy's broom down, and walked over to where the clearing began. Hermione was just a little ways away.

She looked through the bushes. No one was looking this way. Everyone was fighting, and it was a comical scene. Harry and Ron had double-teamed up on Fudge and where hitting him on both sides, while Fudge tried to use a shield spell. Melody was running at Pettigrew, broom in front of her. Pettigrew closed his eyes, knowing she was going to hit him. But, it never came. Melody was on her broom, above his head, with little rocks and exploding snap cards in her hand. She held them over Pettigrew's head and let them go.

Ginny laughed, and slowly crept from where she was hiding. She grabbed Hermione's red robes and dragged her back into the trees. Ginny grabbed her wand. "Don't worry, Hermione. I know what to do. Flitwick showed us the other day." Ginny said. She waved her wand around, trying to think of the spell's name. Hermione who knew it, mumbled it. Ginny caught it, and made out what she said. She smiled. "Thanks." She replied. Ginny held her wand out and said the spell, shooting a black mist at Hermione. It hit her, and she got up.

"Thanks Ginny," She said, as she smiled and looked out through the trees. "I hope Harry's alright." She looked hopeful and not hopeful at the same time. Ginny saw this and grabbed Hermione's arm. "Come on then Hermione. We can fight with them. Besides, two adults against two teens and an eight year old, isn't fair, so we might as well help them." Ginny explained. Hermione nodded and both of the girls grabbed their wands. They walked out of the bushes, and joined in the fight. Surprising, Fudge and Pettigrew. They didn't think that the girl would ever be back to life… until they saw she was with someone. They rolled their eyes, and continued battling.

*~*

Back at Hogwarts…

In the small office of Dumbledore's, it was very crowded at this time. Mr. And Mrs. Weasley and Granger had been called in, along with Sirius. None of them knew why they were there. They had got an owl from Dumbledore saying that something had happened to their children. They had all rushed in as fast as they could, wanting to know what happened. So far, Dumbledore wasn't in there. A very tired McGonagall was in there. Everyone was asking her what happened to their kids, but she didn't know any more then what they knew. Only Dumbledore knew what was really wrong.

Then, right on cue, Dumbledore entered the room. Everyone went silent, and looked at him, the twinkle had gone out in his eyes, and he looked very serious. That told everyone, that this was more serious then they had ever imagined. He walked around, so he was on the other side of the desk, looking at everyone's confused faces.

He tried to give them all a smile, but failed miserably. Everyone's eyes were on his, filled with concern, questions, and what had happened to their children. He sighed, and looked at them all. "My friends," He started off. "I don't know how to say this too you, but the children are all missing. They have gone on one of their 'adventures' again. Yesterday, when Miss. Granger left, she didn't know that she was being kidnapped, considering that her parents are right here, now. When the news was broke to the Gryffindor's, Mr. Potter took it upon himself, to try and save here. The next day, Mr. And Miss. Weasely set off to try and find them, and ended up stealing Mr. Malfoy's broom."

He looked around at everyone. They were all silent, not even McGonagall knew what to say. The room was silent for a while, until a voice broke through the silence. "We have to find them and get them back. They're not known for staying out of trouble and danger. They've almost died how many times now? I'll go and find them, and see if some other people will help." Sirius stated.

Everyone turned and looked at him. "Well… as Harry's Godfather you do have a say in what goes on in his life. But… before you go, you have to know you're going to have to be careful. We don't want to lose Harry's only caring relative." Dumbledore replied, and looked at him with an 'I'm warning you!' look. Sirius nodded, and with a wave of his wand and a few words he was gone. He had appearated, elsewhere.   

*~*

The battle was starting to get fiercer as time went on. The 'teens' side was losing… very badly. So far, Ginny had been knocked out. Only, because when she was trying to sneak up on Pettigrew, he heard her and turned around. Making her fly back and into a tree trunk a little ways away. Ron was losing conscious because he got in the way, when Pettigrew was making an attempt to kill Harry. Harry, Melody and Hermione were all fine. Hermione, being the smart one had casted a shield spell on herself, from getting in harms way. While Harry and Melody thought about no charms or spell's and just went for it. Melody, being so small, was hard to hit, considering her size.

The scene was terrible, and looked like the five kids were going to die right then and there. With a shout from Fudge, a bright green light emerged from his wand. Everything seemed to go in slow motion. Everything stopped. Harry and Melody turned and screamed, and tried to run to beat the light but it was no use. The green light hit Ron, and he was forced back into a tree trunk and was knocked out. Everything then seemed to go back to fast motion. Hermione screamed as he crashed into the trunk. The three remaining kids had run over to him, trying to wake him up, but it was no use.

Fudge and Pettigrew laughed and stalked over to where the remaining kids were. "So… it looks like everyone is going to die… together. How great. No more running for us. This will make it easier. Say your prayers, kids." Pettigrew sneered, glaring at Harry. The two men grabbed their wands, held them in front of him and advanced on them. Hermione grabbed her wand from her cloak pocket, looking ready to kill, Harry grabbed something from in behind him and Melody grabbed her broom handle.

When the two of them called some kind of curse out. Hermione yelled something as well, casting a mist around her, Harry disappeared with a swish of his cloak, and Melody had gone up with her broom. The two looked at each other and laughed. The dirt and smog disappeared, and they looked around. They couldn't see the three remaining kids. Fudge then said; "Looks like that's the end of these kids. Come on… let's get out of here before any more attention is brought here." Pettigrew looked at him, he nodded. The two of them turned around and started to run away. But, within seconds they landed with a crash on the ground, when someone grabbed their robes, and they tripped. All around them they heard people laughing. Thinking it was spirits they screamed and grabbed each other.

*~*

It was around mid-day and two people that looked like men from the ground were seen flying around over a bunch of trees. It looked like they were looking for something important; they were going really slow and were constantly looking down at the ground. "So… what exactly are we looking for? You never told me, Sirius. All you said was it was important and for me to get my room. Spill already." The other man said, glaring at his friend. Sirius stopped and looked at him.

"Harry's gone," He said, and looking from his friends' expression, he had no idea what he was talking about. "Alright… alright… don't give me the look that you used to give to me in school, Remus. Anyway, as you know… Hermione had to re-sign as a witch, because she was kidnapped the other day. Two people had claimed to be her parents and went off with her. Harry, being who he is, went after her. Followed by Ron and Ginny the next day, on Malfoy's broom. No idea where they are… but I have to find them." He then went silent.

"Hmm… well… it sounds like a problem we have. So… do you know where they would be?" Remus asked, trying to 'think right' with a problem this big. Sirius shrugged. "I don't know where they are. If I did know where they were… I WOULDN'T BE HERE RIGHT NOW!" He yelled, and it threw almost him and Remus off their brooms.

They sat on the brooms for a few long minutes; they had no ideas or guesses to where they could be. It didn't last long though. In the clearing around half a mile away, a bright light was seen. It was black and shot up into the sky, like a rocket. When it was up over the trees, it stopped and spread over the sky. It was a circle with a black 'V' in it, and a snake was entangled in it. When Remus saw this, he almost fell off his broom.

"Sirius! Look over there! It's the dark mark." Remus said, and pointed to the mark hanging in the sky. Sirius turned around and gasped. The dark mark was just hanging there in the sky. But, Voldemort was dead, wasn't he? Then it hit him. "Its Pettigrew's doing! He's behind Hermione's kidnapping. If he's killed anyone one of those kids, I'm going to kill HIM!" Sirius shouted. He then grabbed his broom and sped off into the distance… followed by Remus.

*~*

"WHAT DID YOU CAST THE DARK MARK FOR?! I CAN LOSE MY JOB FOR THIS!" Fudge roared, glaring and pointing at the dark mark high in the sky. Pettigrew sneered and shrugged his shoulders. He glared at Fudge and laughed. "We killed Harry Potter and his friends. The Potters are all dead! I have avenged my master and killed the remaining Potter!" Petttigrew yelled and started laughing, joined in my Fudge.

They laughed for a few minutes, until they heard a rustle of the bushes. They stopped laughing and looked over in the bushes. They couldn't see anything, so they shrugged it off. Thinking it must have been a wild animal. Which… in a case it sort-of was. In the bushes, Sirius and Remus had hidden their brooms in the bushes, that's what the rustling was. They peered through the bushes.

"So, I was right. Pettigrew is behind this. Fudge? He's behind this too?" Sirius asked, dumbfounded. Remus shrugged, and they looked around. "Looks like he did a pretty good job of killing everyone. There's Ginny and Ron knocked out. But where's Harry and Hermione?" Remus asked, looking around. Sirius shrugged. He turned into the black dog that he could change into. The dog crawled through the bushes and out of sight.

He walked through the bushes; Pettigrew and Fudge were standing with their backs to Sirius. He was just about to launch off from the ground and pouch on them, when two kids materialized. Harry appeared with the Invisibility Cloak in his hanfd, and Hermione appeared from her shield spell. Sirius walked up to them, catching them of guard. They looked down at him, smiled and petted him.

Remus then walked through the bushes too and over to them. The only thing was, when they saw him coming, they waved, and Hermione stepped forward… making a branch snap. She cursed herself in her mind. Pettigrew and Fudge wiped around and glared at everyone. They scowled at the two kids, one adult and the dog; which was now growling at them.

Pettigrew looked down at the dog. He smirked and whispered something to Fudge; who smirked as well. "Hey there, *Black*. Are you here to kill the last of the Potters? Just like you did to James and Lily." Pettigrew said, trying to act like he was crying. Everyone rolled his or her eyes. "Don't you dare, blame this on him!" Harry shouted, he went to leap at Pettigrew, only to have Hermione and Sirius (who changed back into a man) grabbed his arms.

"Feisty little godson you have here. Just like his parents… and look where it got them. There dead!" Pettigrew sneered. Everyone grabbed his or her wands. They clenched them tightly and were ready to attack, if Pettigrew or Fudge if they tried anything. The four wizards and witch stood there glaring at the other two. "Don't you blame the death of James and Lily on them. You sold them out… and you know it!" Remus shouted, pointing his wand at Pettigrew.

"Let's just fight it out. It would be better then standing here like idiots!" Hermione shouted. The fight began, four against two. Melody was still in the sky on her broom. She was waiting for the right moment to come down and help. "I think that they're going to need my help soon! They're already losing badly," Melody said to herself. "I know! I'll go now!" Melodyt grabbed her broom handle and went down, down, down to the ground below.

She landed in the bushes and came out, looking shocked. Within those few minutes it took her to get down to the ground, a lot had happened. Hermione had been knocked out, when they hit her with a charm. Harry was looking over her, trying to wake her up somehow. Melody gasped and ran out through the bushes. She grabbed onto Sirius and Remus's cloaks and pulled down on the robes. They looked down at her, and she smiled.

Sirius and Remus grabbed her cloak, as she went running at the armed Pettigrew and Fudge. The two of them grabbed their wands and pointed them at Pettigrew and Fudge. They muttered a few words and a white light hit them. They took this time to esacape. Sirius grabbed Melody and they ran off to get the other four kids, and the brooms. They grabbed the brooms along with the other kids and apperated back to Hogwrats.

Back at Hogwarts

A wind appeared in the little office, and seven people appeared in the office. Everyone looked at them, when the wind disappeared. The seven smiled at everyone, who was staring at them. It took everyone a few seconds too clue in; when they did everything went into chaos. "Ron! Ginny! You're alive!" Their mother said, and ran over to them, locking them into a hug. Their dad stood beside them, trying not to laugh. Hermione had run to her parents. They were just glad that she was alright and had hugged her and were busy asking her what had happened.

Sirius, Remus, Harry and Melody stood in a corner, not knowing what they were supposed to do, now. McGonagall and Dumbledore walked over to them, and smiled. "Well, you did it. You managed to get everyone back here in one piece. Mind you, you have to tell me everything." Dumbledore said. McGonagall looked down at the little girl, looking lost.

"Dumbledore. It looks like we have another child here. And… she looks like Sports' child from Pebble Beach School." She said, looking up. The girl nodded; "Yes. That would be me! I'm Melody. Who are you?" Melody asked. McGonagall smiled and held her hand out. "Come on. We'll go up to the Owlery and send one to your mom. She'll come and pick you up." Melody nodded, and the two of them left the tiny office.

Everyone stopped talking, when Dumbledore stood up. "Alright. Now that everyone is here and back together, I think we should know what has happened, while they were out on their adventure." Dumbledore suggested. Everyone nodded. "Alright. I'll leave this up to everyone that was there." Dumbledore said, and sat down at his desk. Everyone looked at the six remaining people. They grinned, and suddenly went into detail about, well, everything.

*~*

An hour and a half later…

"And… that's about everything." Sirius explained. Everyone was silent, and thought about everything that they had just told them. It was silent, until the door to Dumbledore's was open. A witch with red hair opened the door. "Hi everyone. Is Melody in here?" She asked, looking around the room. A little girl ran full speed at her, hugging her and they both tumbled down to the ground. Everyone started to laugh at the sight of this.

Hermione's parents sighed and turned their daughter around to look at her. They looked at her with a really serious look. "Hermione, dear. You have to make a choice now. Would you like to stay as a witch with your father or go and live with a muggle with your mother?" They asked. They both had the look that said 'Please! Choose me!'. Hermione looked from on to another, then over at Harry, who was looking at her for an answer. She sighed and looked at the ground.

"I-I-I want to stay as a witch. I want to be with my friends." She mumbled. Her mother gasped and her father smirked. "I'll still love you, and visit me on your holidays." Her mother said. Her mother then ran out of the office, crying. Her father then looked at her. "Why didn't you go with your mother? I don't want any kids; all I want is to be free again. With no baggage!" He yelled, and also stormed out of the office, like Snape would.

Hermione stood there. Confusion and Sadness in her eyes, she looked down at the ground. Trying hard not to cry. Harry looked at her, with compassion. Other then her being 'disowned' by her father, he knew what it was like not to have anyone care about you. He grabbed Ron and pointed to Hermione.

"What happened to her?" Ron asked, getting the same look as Harry's. Harry explained it, as best as he could. "Oh…" was all Ron could say, at a loss of words. The two then walked over to where Hermione was. They slung their arms around her neck, like friends would do. She looked up at them, all confused. They smiled at her, acting like nothing was wrong.

"Don't worry about it, 'Moine. We're here for you, no matter what. We'll help you through this. That's what friends are for!" Ron said, looking like Percy would. Harry and Hermione looked at him, and started laughing. Ron looked at them with not a clue what they were laughing about. They looked up at him, and they knew he had no idea what they were talking about. So, they gave in, and told him.

"WHAT!?!? I'm not like Percy!" He shouted, he got a look of fire in his eyes. He took of running after Hermione and Harry, who had taken that time to run away. Everyone laughed, and Dumbledore looked up at the clock. "Hmm… the Hogwarts Express will be here in a few hours. All of you should go and pack. And, since your parents are here, you can leave with them when you're done packing." Dumbledore smiled. Everyone accepted this offer, and with a false everyone was gone.

McGonagall laughed, and shook her head at everyone that had left. She then looked over at Dumbledore. He was writing something down on a paper. She walked over there. "What are you writing?" She asked, peering over his shoulder. "I'm writing the Dursley's. Harry has decided to live with Sirius, considering that his name is cleared now." He replied. McGonagall nodded, and silently left the office.

She walked down the halls to her office, shaking her head. "This has been a crazy year with Harry and all the other events," She said, as she opened the door to her office. "Maybe… next year won't be as busy," Then she thought of something. "Those Weasley twins. They didn't pull a prank this year." She gasped, shrugged it off and entered her office. Only she got something she wasn't expecting. A pie in the face!

"FRED! GEORGE!" She screamed. She wiped the pie of her face and looked outside the door. Of course, Fred and George were there. They were laughing as they ran away. She huffed and ran down the halls after them, and out of sight.

The-end!
