Yet another sad attempt at writing a story.
Disclaimer. I am not J.K. I don't own Harry Potter. I am not a multi-
millionaire. So now to my brainchild.
"But Master, a Muggle way?" Wormtail asked Voldemort. "Yes, It is the only way to go about this undetected, and the only truly safe way to insure that we do not end up making a mistake in our choice." Voldemort said as he paced back and forth in his cave, which looked more like the Beverly Hills Hilton than a cave dwelling. "When are Macnair and Nott bringing the expert in?" Wormtail asked as he fixed tea. "Whenever they bloody hell catch her. When else do you think?" He smacked Wormtail over the head with his reading material. "Lucius has already provided us with his part of the deal. He used the Imperious curse to procure what we needed. Fairly easily in fact." "Master, what if the plan doesn't work?" Wormtail asked. "DOESN'T WORK? IT WILL WORK GOD DAMMIT." Voldemort started to go off when suddenly Macnair and Nott appeared holding a struggling woman between them. She was not too particularly happy about being there. "I should have known it would be you they were taking me too. After all you tend to choose brawn over brains, and these are the best of the lot as far as brains are concerned." Voldemort reached over and grabbed her face holding her in his gaze. "Do not toy with me Ciara. I am only your nightmare come true. If you help me, I will let you return to your life as a Muggle doctor who happens to assist in treating those from our form of life. You however will be assisting in helping me to continue my way of life. I shall need you to do me a favor." He continued to pace the ground. Ciara spoke quietly. "I will not help you to destroy lives, I'd rather you kill me." Voldemort started to laugh. "On the contrary, Ciara. I need you to help create a life. Not destroy one. Some one in your level of expertise is needed." Ciara was finally released from the arms of her captors, and sat down in a chair. "That must be why your goons ransacked my offices as well as kidnapping me. I have a feeling that what you want is something even worse than I imagined. I will do this if you promise me that you will not harm them in any way. Now who?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~****************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "It can't be happening again. I thought he would have learned." Professor McGonagall said as she poured the tea. "We must end all Hogsmeade weekends immediately. And have no students out of doors." "Now Minerva, we can't cause a panic. If it happens it happens." Albus said as he looked out the window at the students returning from Easter holidays. Many trickled in over the weekend, being this was the last weekend of break and only Friday, many students choose to beat the rush on Sunday and return a few days early, giving them a chance to see what everyone did over the break. Many of the richer students traveled, being wizard or Muggle born. The exotic locations ranged from the Caribbean, (both groups, many magical as well as non-magic islands) to America, (mainly Muggle Born), and the Greek Islands (strictly magical islands). "But if it happens what will we do?" McGonagall asked as she watched the students as well. "We hope for the best, and work hard to maintain what we had worked so hard for. Just like the last time." Albus said. "Now Minerva, you may want to supervise the students as they are returning. I believe that there are no less that 50 magical water balloons out there, and countless non- magical ones. You may want to stop a riot before any of the portraits get wet and will want to have your head on a platter." He watched as Minerva left the room. "You shouldn't panic," he said to no one in particular. "I believe the students that he will choose shall figure out on their own how to stop it from happening in the way he wants it too." ~~~~~~********~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hermione Granger's PoV Holidays are always great. They are even better when you get to the Bahamas for three weeks. We met my aunt Lisa's family there and had a ball, stopping in NYC on the way home for three days worth of shopping. My cousin Christine, after 4th year and the Viktor Krum love relationship, took me under her wing while we were staying in the States and gave me a complete makeover, better than Lavender and Parvati could have given me. Now, after a few more summers of makeovers, and holidays as well, I had been proclaimed, at least by most of the males at Hogwarts, A goddess. Harry and Ron even, as much as it shocks me, noticed that I looked surprisingly different each time I returned to school. At least they, unlike most of the other hormonally driven boys at Hogwarts, hadn't developed crushes on me. "MIONE GRANGER!" I heard squeals coming down the stairway I had just entered. School didn't officially restart for two more days, but I wanted some extra study time for the NEWTS. I really had to do well, see as there are only two weeks until the NEWTS, and then there are only three weeks left of school. Lavender and Parvati attacked me. "How were the Bahamas?" "Did you have fun in New York?" "Awesome tan." "Were there like thousands of hot guys there?" They both stopped to take a breath. I managed to answer their questions. "The Bahamas were great. I loved shopping in New York. The beaches were awesome, and there were not thousands of hot guys, but millions. I have to go and put my things away, but I brought you to back a souvenir. " I pulled out the two shirts I had gotten at some cute store on 5th Avenue. "Mione, you shouldn't have." They both said at the same time. Lavender's shirt was dark purple and said " Boy's are Great, Every Girl should own one." Parvati's said "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful, Hate me because your boyfriend thinks I am." I managed to get past them and made my way up to the Head Student quarters. I had almost cried when Dumbledor announced that Malfoy was Head Boy, but over the past few months I had gotten a little better aquainted with the idiot. He helped me with some of the Potions assignments that I need a little help with, and I in turn helped him with the Arithmacy class work. I had even, gasp, brought him back a rare potions book that I found in one of the Magical islands little shops. "Hello?" I called as I went into our common area. "Hey Granger." Malfoy stepped out of his room. "Have a nice holiday?" I asked him as I pulled out his present. "Yeah, the Greek islands are a really nice place. Did you have a nice holiday?" He asked "It was really nice in the Bahamas. I found this in a little shop and thought I'd get it for you." I handed him the book. "Thanks. I got this on Circe's island for you." He handed me a necklace that looked like miniature ivy that had been coated in silver. "Its really pretty Malfoy." I put the necklace on. "My mum picked it out, I wanted to get you something left over from Troy, but my mum said that she didn't think you would like armor." Malfoy laughed. I laughed with him. "Well I have to go unpack." I pulled my suitcases out of my handbag. 7th year students were allowed to use a few simple charms outside of school. Shrinking and enlarging were included in these. I increased the size of my bags, pulling out the new clothing I had purchased. On weekends, holidays, and every other Friday we were allowed to wear anything that we pleased, within reason of course. As my mum said, nothing I couldn't wear to Mass and confession. Being a witch didn't mean I wasn't Catholic anymore, but that was even starting to change as I got older. I finished unpacking, grabbing Ginny, Harry, and Ron's presents. I had gotten Ginny a dress that she shouldn't probably open in front of Ron seeing as it had spaghetti straps and was form fitting, and very red. Ron and Harry had both gotten shirts that I had found in some random store. They were a shiny Hawaiian print, Harry's being dark green, Ron's being orange. I muttered my password to the portrait that led me into the Gryffindor common room. Ron and Harry were playing chess again; Ginny was reading a book on the couch. Without Ron and Harry seeing, I grabbed Ginny and we went to their dorm. "Hermione! How was your vacation?" Ginny asked when we were upstairs. "Really awesome. The Bahamas were so nice. I loved every minute of being there. And New York was really cool. I got you this at a really cool shop." I handed her the package. She opened it. "Hermione it's really cool." She said as she ducked into the bathroom to try the dress on. "I thought that you should open it up here, seeing as Ron still seems to think of you as a small child." I watched as she stepped out. "It's a perfect fit. Do you think Dean will like it?" She asked. She and Dean had been dating for a while now. I hoped that they would keep up the relationship after Dean graduated. "If Dean has eyes, he should. Now I better get back to the natives before they decided to revolt." I headed back down the stairs. Ron and Harry were still engrossed in their game of chess. I stopped the game the only way I knew I could. The same way I have stopped them since 4th year........... I sat on the game board. "HERMIONE! What did you do that for?" Ron asked slightly irate. "Hello Mione. How was your vacation?" Harry asked much calmer than Ron. "It was great Harry. I brought these back for you guys. I handed them each the appropriate package. They each opened their packages. "These are really cool Mione. Thanks." Ron hugged me. "I like the choice in color. It's great. Thanks a bunch." Harry said. Just then the clock bell tolled ten times. I remembered that I wanted to spend most of tomorrow studying. "I'm going to hit the sack. See you two some time tomorrow. I plan on using my two days to study." They both groaned. "Good night." I said as I opened my painting doorway. They both echoed me as they became engrossed in the game again. Once in my room I slipped into my pajamas, seeing the three red marks on my stomach again. They were probably just spider bites.
