Chapter Recap

Ron and Hermione are under a sleeping curse, put on the castle by Wormtail, and Harry confronts Voldemort, And Harry is given 3 options, be friendless, be without one friend, or be with both of them, but evil. The Chapter is left off with a big warm gust of air flowing through the castle.

Awakening

Suddenly, and for no apparent reason, the frost lifts from Ron, as it was melted by the warm air. Voldemort screams and melts away, into just a plain puddle of snakeskin on the floor under a wizards hat.

"RON!!!!! You're awake!!!!" Harry exclaimed as he runs over to him.

"Yeah, what'd I miss?" Ron said, rubbing the sleep frost from his eyes.

"Harry! May I see you in my office?" Dumbledore comes strolling up to them, looking worried.

"Sure, but sir, what about Hermione?" Harry said, showing deep emotion for her.

"She'll be fine, we need to talk about what happened, Harry." Dumbledore turned somberly towards his office.

A few minutes later in his office

"How do I always seem to end up here after he leaves?" Harry wondered curiously.

"Harry, about today, you need to know why." Dumbledore said, like he always does.

"Voldemort thought that if he go you on their side, that they could have defeated the good. Voldemort couldn't kill you because you share blood, if he killed you, he'd be killing himself."

"But, how'd he melt?" Harry asked.

"No one knows this, but Voldemort can read minds, he read your decision before you said it. You were willing to sacrifice your own life for theirs. You had already accepted it in you mind, so part of you was already gone, which means so was part of him, and he mind couldn't comprehend why and that was the result of a brain meltdown, you might call it."

"So what about Ron? Why did he wake up and not Hermione?"

"Ron woke up because he wanted to, Hermione might have had a sense of what was going to happen and didn't want to wake up to what she thought reality might be like. That would be odd though, only people deeply connected can communicate like that."

"So how will she wake up?" Harry asked, fearing the answer.

"Well, Harry, have you ever heard the story Sleeping beauty?" Dumbledore said with a twinkle in his eyes. "Well she needs her prince charming."

Harry just gave dumbledore the biggest smile ever. Dumbledore always knows everything.

Outside in the hallway again.

"Harry, can you send Ron to me when you get to him? I think it might be easier if I explain." Dumbledore said.

Harry ran down the hallway as fast as he could, he needed Hermione, he needed to tell her.

"Hey, Ron, Dumbledore needs to see you." Harry said, as he tried to slow his breathing and walk normaly in front of Ron. Harry waited until Ron was out of sight before he leaned over Hermione.

"Hermione, I know you can hear me, so I think it's time you wake up." Harry said softly into her ear, right before giving her a passionate kiss, which was deepened by Hermione when she woke up.

Ron cleared his throat loudly, and that's when they were really pulled back to reality.

"Wow! What a great way to be woke up!" Hermione said with a huge grin when she opened her eyes to Harry.

"Will you guys cut it out, I know you haven't kissed all day, but hey, keep in mind your in the middle of the hallway!" Ron said with a huge smile on his face as well.
