A/N: After this one, only one more to go. Please Review and read what I have to say at the bottom before you review because if you don't that would be unfair if you gave me a flame because of what happens. If you give me a flame I want it because the story sucks not because of what happens in it. UPDATED: Well I tried to fix some of it.
Chapter 6: Death
There was a shuffling noise behind Angel that made her whirl around. She saw a shadow dancing on the wall. "I know you're there so you might as well come out." She hissed as she watched Harry emerge from the darkness. "How long have you been standing there." She asked impatiently.
Harry smiled innocently. "Long enough to heard your conversation and to finally know your trying to frame Hermione. Why?" He leaned casually against the stone pillar.
She rolled her eyes and turned away from him. "Because she'll just get into the way of the Dark Lords plans. And besides you may know but you don't have proof." She smirked to herself knowing she had won.
"I wouldn't be so sure of yourself." He grinned and looked at her as though he had won.
She laughed dryly. "And why not. What are you going to do go crying on your hands and knees to the headmaster telling him you know you're right."
"Actually I'll just tell him I'm right and let him listen for himself." Harry said taking out a tape recorder. "Aren't Muggle inventions great?" He bluffed and smirked when he noticed that she forgot that Muggle gadgets didn't work properly in Hogwarts.
"You bastard!" She said as she turned around and was about to run after him, when she realized he was already in the Headmaster's office. She would have to get Ron out of here now if she wanted to complete her mission. She shuttered at the thought of what Voldemort might do if she failed.
She grumbled to herself as she ran down the corridor to get to the Gryffindor common room before the Headmaster butted his head in and stopped everything.
(Scene Change)
Angel walked into the common room just in time to hear Hermione and Ron's heated argument.
"Ron, please. You're going to be making the biggest mistake of your life!" Hermione pleaded following behind him as he was collecting his belongings and stuffing them into a bag.
"Hermione you're annoying me. There is nothing you can say to make me change my mind." Ron sighed and noticed Angel in the door jam. "I'm almost ready to go. I just need to get my cloak and make a pest go away." He said very loudly turning to glare at Hermione, and then made his way up into the Boy's Dormitory.
Angel grinned and made her way toward the brown haired girl.
"What are you grinning at?" Hermione snapped glaring at her wishing she could hex the girl without getting expelled. She was actually considering doing it anyways and excepting the consequences.
"You aren't going to do anything. He's already mine. There is NOTHING you can do." She laughed getting in Hermione's face she pushed her back against the wall.
"That's what you think. He's going to see your true colors when he gets there. He's going to kick your ass. He's not completely defenseless and he's not as stupid as he puts off. Once he finds out you're a Deatheater he's not going to stick around." Hermione prayed that she was right. She knew for a fact she was right about him not being as stupid as he acts, but she wasn't sure about the not sticking around part with the way he's been acting lately, she was starting to doubt if she had ever even knew Ron at all.
"Ron hurry up!" Angel yelled up the stairs not wanting to be alone with Hermione longer then necessary.
"Coming." The girls heard him bellow. Hermione just stared at the door and thought about what she was going to do to make Ron stay and understand that he's just going to get himself killed. Maybe he would listen to Harry? Then she tossed that idea out the window when she remembered how badly he's been treating him lately as well. What could she do? She asked herself sighing with defeat. Could she really help Ron out this time or was he just doomed to try to fix his mess himself...if he could.
"What's going on?" Ginny inquired as she walked in, sensing the tension flowing through the air. She raised an eyebrow and started towards the two girls in front of her, stopping by Hermione glancing at her curiously.
"Oh great another bitch." Angel growled just loud enough for Ginny to hear.
"Funny." Ginny replied through gritted teeth and advanced in her direction preparing to pounce. "Now why don't you say that to me and not to yourself?"
Angel looked Ginny in the eyes. "Bitch."
Ginny was about to attack her, but Hermione grabbed Ginny by the shoulders. "She's not worth it Gin." She whispered in her ear. "You're just going to get yourself in trouble."
"But Hermione," She stopped when she saw Ron walk downstairs with a bag under his arm. "Where are you going?" She challenged facing her brother angrily when she saw him walk to Angel.
"It's none of your business." Ron snapped and walked past his little sister.
"He's going with Angel to her 'home'" Hermione answered making Ron turn around. He glared at her. "Oh, I'm sorry. What I meant to say was Torture chamber." She said sarcastically her cheek burning with anger.
"You're so humorous Hermione, we forgot to laugh." Ron said as he rolled his eyes and strolled out of the common room to go to the front of the school where the carriages were waiting for them.
Ginny looked at Hermione frantically. "What are we going to do? I don't want to lose Ron to that stupid Death Eater." She wiped the unshed tears from her eyes and waited for her friends reply.
"Well I'm going to follow them." Hermione said with a determined look in her eyes as she walked towards the Boys Dorms.
"What about me! I want to go too. He's my brother." Ginny complained. She was sick of being left behind; she was always left behind, this time she wanted in.
"Go find Harry and then tell him to meet me at the Riddle's house. He knows where it is." She paused and looked at the redheaded girl pleadingly. "Please Gin, it's really important."
Ginny reluctantly agreed and watched as Hermione walked off into the dark staircase.
She sighed and hoped her brother and Hermione would resolve this, then again if they all live through this.
She groaned inwardly and stalked off to look for Harry.
(Scene Change)
Hermione arrived at the Riddle House a couple of hours later to see that the carriage had already arrived. She cursed under her breath, she just hoped Ron was still alive and after this was over, he owed her major.
She ran into the house quickly and saw Angel and Ron about to walk into the room that lead to Voldemort chambers. She called out. "Hey you guys over here!" She needed to stall and it was all she could think of at the moment.
She jumped in front of the door. "What are you doing here? You're supposed to be back at Hogwarts." Ron said putting an arm around Angel's waist for protection.
"I'm here to stop you from killing yourself. That's what friends do." She shielded her eyes to block out the blinding light of the hallway.
"I don't know what you're talking about. Now if you'll excuse us, were late for dinner." He replied getting very impatient and hungry forgetting how long it had been since his last meal.
Angel cleared her throat to have the attention on her. She smiled up at Ron. "How much do you love me?" She asked in a sweetly sick voice.
Ron looked at her confused but answered, "A lot, I would do anything for you." He raised an eyebrow waiting for the rest.
"Anything?" She asked in a seductive tone.
"Of course anything." Ron responded backing away a bad feeling suddenly creeping in the pit of his stomach.
"Then kill Hermione." Angel said glancing at her and pointing.
"Anything, but that." Ron said feeling like the walls were closing in. She had to be joking. He knew he hadn't been fair to Hermione lately, even if Hermione DID try to kill him. He couldn't kill her they had been through too much.
"That's funny Angel." He looked at Hermione. "Now go back to the school-" He was cut off.
"It's not a joke Ronald. I'm serious, if you love me you'll kill her." Angel gave Hermione a deathly glare and then put at a nervous Ron in her viewpoint.
"I can't kill her, She's my best friend!" He fidgeted; He looked that the girl he thought he was in love with. Why was she even suggesting this? "I love you but I'm not going to kill my friends for you." Ron said putting his foot down. He knew he had been really neglecting his friends, especially Harry, and he was picking on Hermione a lot lately, but that didn't mean that he didn't care about them anymore. He mentally swore he would make it up to them later.
Angel pouted and took her wand out of her cloak. "You leave me no choice, Imperio." She muttered as sparks flew from the tip of it.
Ron felt his muscles relax, he couldn't even feel them anymore. What in the world was she going to make him do? His mind recognizing the curse as one of the unforgivable.
"Use the Death curse on her." Angel said pointing to Hermione with a smug expression grazing her face.
"No!" Ron cried out as he tried to pull away but his body didn't stop, it wasn't working. He took out his wand and pointed it at Hermione. "Avada Kedavra." He shouted involuntarily.
Hermione went flying back into the wall and fell lifelessly to the floor.
A/N: Well it looks like a good place to end it. Please don't flame me because of Hermione getting shot by the Death curse. Please wait until you read the last chapter. If you do flame me then I'll send my Slytherin on you. :points to Draco, who is standing in the shadows: Do review on the overview of the chapter not because Hermione got shot.
