Chapter Five
.Seamus. He was funny and sweet. But then, I got to know you and I got the biggest crush on you. I figured out that I loved you in second year, right before the whole petrification thing. Now, we're married! Even though I'm really not ready for marriage, if I have to get married to someone, I'm glad it's you." Ron took her hand in his and squeezed. "Me too." As he said this, Professor Flitwick announced it was time to apply the countercharm. Ron complied, then leaned close to his young wife and whispered, "I love you." Hermione grinned. "I love you too." Soon after this had occurred, the period ended and the couple headed off to Care of Magical Creatures. The animal Hagrid had today was a full- grown unicorn, Hagrid grinned as most of the girls headed towards it. "Boys, you aren't innocent enough. Sorry. Girls only." Hermione turned to Ron, but immediately saw Harry coming towards them. He called out, "Hagrid, Hermione needs to come with me. Sorry!" Hagrid turned and nodded to acknowledge the request, but that was all he could do because Draco was whining to him about the appropriateness of an animal that only a quarter of the class could get near.
Hermione followed, reluctantly, as Harry hurried back into the castle. When she reached the Great Hall, she found him waiting. "Hey Hermione! Sorry I was going so fast, Dumbledore told me to be back as soon as I could, so let's go." Hermione nodded, and then continued her hurried gait. They reached the gargoyle guarding Dumbledore's office and personal quarters. The Headmaster was waiting there for them. "Thank you for hurrying. Step inside please." He mumbled something no one could hear and the stairs appeared. They followed, looking at each other periodically to see if the other was keeping up. When they got to his office, Dumbledore sat behind the desk and intertwined his fingers. "I'm sure you're wondering why you are here. Well, it has to do with you two and the project Hermione and Ron are working with me on. Harry, you are now able to kind of be a part of it. A long time-" He began, but was interrupted by Harry. "Excuse me, what does this have to do with their project?" Harry asked curiously. "You'll find out if you listen. As I was saying, a long time ago, the very night Harry defeated Voldemort, there was another child affected. The Boy Who Lived had a sister. You, Hermione, were that sister. As you know, you were adopted into a muggle family in order to hide you from Voldemort who didn't know you existed. You had been at a friend's house when it all happened. Now, the prophecy was another reason we hid you. We HAD to have you safe, so we hid you in the muggle world. Any questions?" Harry nodded, "How does this have anything to do with their project?"
