The bombarding thunder would not cease as lightning lit up the midnight sky. Harry's scar was burning as if he had just been branded by a cattle prod. "Something's wrong!" He thought. He got up from the couch where he had fallen asleep and went to look out the window. What he saw, made all the color fade from his face. There he saw Voldemort and his Death Eaters standing outside taunting him. The feeling of fear in the pit of his stomache would not go away, for Voldemort had the twins and they were clearly in pain from the curses thrown at them. He had never felt so helpless in all of his life except for one other time....Cedric.
A loud cracking thunder jolted Harry awake. "It was just a dream." He muttered. Harry looked around the compartment and quickly went into a panic. "Where are they?" He bolted out and was fixing to run down the hallway when he heard a child's laughter emitting from the compartment across from his. He rushed in and quickly took the boy in his arms, squeezing him as if they had been separated for years from each other. "Jaimie! Why did you leave? I thought I told you to stay put? Don't you remember anything I have told you over the summer? How did you break the locking charm and where's your sister?!" He was firing questions too fast for the child to answer.
"I....I....I'm sorry dad." he sputtered.
"It's not his fault, sir. He needed to use the bathroom and you wouldn't wake up. I unlocked the door, for he was in great discomfort. I didn't think you would mind. Are you a teacher?" Harry smiled at who was addressing him and that she didn't even recognize him. He looked at his best friend and noticed just how much she had changed over the summer. She had grown a few inches and her hair was no longer bushy in appearance as it had been for the past five years he has known her. She was beautiful but it was clear that something was upsetting her.
"Her name is `Mione." Jamie said innocently, while smiling Harry's trademark smile. Hermione noticed this and it tugged at her heart. She really missed Harry. She smiled and offered her hand to him, unknowing to her that he was the very one that had her upset. "I'm Hermione Granger, this is my friend Ron Weasley and our Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Black." Harry shook her hand as Jamie whispered in her ear, "His name is Harry, but we call him dad." Hermione's eyes widen in surprised just as Jasmine runs in giggling with a Slytherin tie trailing behind her.
"And just where did you get that from?" Ron questioned her. "Where were you?" Harry fired at her at the same time Ron did. All questions were answered when a very smug Draco Malfoy appeared in the doorway. "Where is she?" He commanded. Jasmine quickly hid behind Hermione grabbing her legs as if her life depended on it while she screamed, "MINE!"
"Give it back, you thief! Get out of the way, Granger! Hand her over or else!" Malfoy sneered.
"Just wait a minute Malfoy! You won't lay a hand on her. I'll get to the bottom of this." Harry kneels down to Jasmine and gently asks her, "Where did you get the tie, Jaz?"
"I found it."
"Found it my....." Draco started but Harry interupted him before he could finish. "ENOUGH! Now Jaz, where did you find it?"
"In my compartment!" Draco interrupted again.
Harry glares at him and simply states, "One more interruption from you Malfoy and you'll be sorry. Jasmine!" Harry puts his hand out expecting the tie to be placed in it.
"MINE!" she screams. "Jasmine, give it back. I have one you can have. Here take this one. Besides, the colors are much nicer." He reaches into his pocket, pulls out his Gryffindor tie and hands it to Jasmine as she gives Malfoy's back. Malfoy stormed off with fury, with much ammusement from Harry. As Harry was turning around, Hermione recogonized the grin on his face. "Harry, is that really you?" She asked in disbelief as she fainted in surprise.
A.N.~~Sorry, I just had to leave it there. Don't you just love cliff hangers? The next chapter will be up by tomorrow. It's already written, just have to spell check it and revise it a little. The next one....just how is Hermione going to react to Harry.
