A/N: I won't keep you in suspense any longer.
Chapter five (5) The Truth is Told"Wow. Now that both have you agreed to stay I can finally take this stupid hood off." The Mistress comented.. At this Harry and Ron perked up and looked at the Mistress. As she slowly moved the hood of the top of her head, long strands of hair came billowing out. When the hood was finally removed a face shined brighter than anything. The face of…
Sabrina!
"What are you doing Sabrina?" Katrina questioned almost yelling.
"Yes. I would like to know that too, Angel Sabrina." The Mistress asked after coming in from behind the Hogwarts banaster.
"Mistress." Sabrina froze, "I'm sorry! It was a joke!"
"Get out now." The Mistress stated in a I'm pissed right now voice. With that Sabrina left the room without even the sound of her shoes on the marble. "Sorry about that. Well I heard everything and welcome to the underground." The Mistress stated. Katrina acted like she was clearing her throat, trying to tell the Mistress that she had forgotten something. "Oh! I guess I can take off my hood now."
With that she pulled the hood slowly. Hair was billowing out as more of the hood was taken off. It fell to her back, and finally the face of the Mistress was revealed.
Harry could hardly keep from crying. Ron looked like Niagra falls during the rainy season. Hood taken off her beauty filled the room with light.
"Please let my eyes be seeing the truth." Ron gasped.
"Yes, This is the real me." Hermione said hardly keeping herself from crying.
"I shall leave thee Mistress." Katrina stated. Hermione nodded her head and Katrina left. After she left Ron ran as fast as he could the four feet that were apart from them and grabbed Hermione and spun her in the air.
"Oh how I missed you both so much." She commented.
"One thing I don't understand is the small matter that says, those that are dead can't come back!" Harry shouted.
"Oh! I was never dead." Hermione answered in a very melocoly tone. Harry and Ron's mouths must have dropped five feet down. What was she saying? Never in all their lives had they heard this much nonesence.
"What?!" Harry stated in disbaleif.
"I faked my death to come here." She answered.
"You put us through almost four years of sheer misery for this." Harry said as if he were stupid.
"Gods Harry! She's alive you should be happy." Ron shouted back.
"Look, I'm sorry. I made a mistake. You think you were the only one who suffered. Guess what your wrong." Hermione answered back.
"Oh my gods! Harry she's alive that's all that matters right?" Ron said obviously royaly pissed at Harry.
"I guess your right." Harry mumbled.
After the tiring conversation they had, Hermione and Ron went off probably going off to have a well deserved snog. But that meant Harry had to wonder the Underground alone. He saw Katrina and Draco getting ready to snog themselves. Geez it seemed everyone was in love except the Great Harry Potter.
"Hello Harry." A pleasant voice said coming from behind him. He turned to see the smiling face of Sabrina. She didn't look the same she did when they had first met. Her hair was pulled back in a long braid, she had obviously cleaned herself up quite well, and she was now wearing her Underground uniform.
"Hello Sabrina. You look better." Harry comented thinking it would make her feel better.
"Thanks. I must apoligize for my previous behavior, I get a little bossy under pressure. Let me make it up to you. Show you around the Underground. It's a giant maze." Sabrina offered.
"Thanks. And I was worried I would have to spend all day by myself." Harry said. Sabrina tried to hide a small laugh.
"So, how do you know the Mistress?" Sabrina asked.
"She was one of my best friends back when we were still in school." Harry answered
"Let me gues she was flawless. Perfect grades, beautiful, popular, little Miss Perfect, am I right?" She asked making a statement that at first puzzeled Harry.
"Oh no. She had her flaws. When I first met her she was probably one of the most bossy people I ever knew. She had a little bit of buck teeth, and her hair was always frizzy." Harry answered and afterward would feel bad about saying it.
"That's funny. I must ask though, There are rumors, is she a muggle born witch." Sabrina said obviously very interested in the information Harry was giving her about the mistress.
"I don't see why you would care, but yes. She tried to be the perfect witch so people wouldn't think she was one." Harry felt bad about saying this too. Sabrina looked as if she had just been the greatest honor ever.
"And what about you Harry? I hate to admit this, but I've always been a big fan. I am much more interested in you." Sabrina said, " Tell me about Harry Potter."
"Okay." Harry said. The rest of the day was Harry and Sabrina walking and talking as Sabrina tried to give Harry a tour of the Underground. Eventually, they sat down in area where people could just talk, and that's what they did.
"it's good to see you again Ron." Hermione said.
"Hermione? Where are we exactly?" Ron had been wondering for some time now. It looked like a garden. There were benches for people to sit on, flowers and trees everywhere, Butterflies were flying around, fairies were playing tag through bushes.
"Well Ron, we are in a garden. Not a real one, but a simulated one. The closest we can get down here. Though the fairies, butterflies, benches, and even some of the flowers are real. The sunlight is fake though. I don't care though you can still feel the warm sun in your hair, you can smell the jasmines at night, and you can hear the wind in some of the trees." Hermione had explained. The were sitting on a stone bench under an oak tree.
"I love you Hermione." Ron said out of nowhere.
"I love you too Ron." Hermione said. They looked into each others eyes as if it were the first time a baby opened their eyes. Ron bent his head down, Hermione raised hers. Now Hermione was not short, but everyone was kind of short when they where with Ron. They got closer to each other and kissed for the first time in five years.
A bolt struck across the night sky. A lone watch man stood outside in the rain. Then he saw it, a red light glow in the darkness. He bent down and lit his candle whitch turned red when he lit it. HE held it up and put it on the stand so all could see. The read light was a symbol for the Death Eaters. They knew what it meant. A horrible thing for any witch, wizard, muggle, and especially a member of the Underground. HE was coming.
Unknown to the Death Eaters, this particular watch man was not an ordinary watch man. A commander for the Underground. After lighting the red light he quickly lit another candle that changed color. Red, green, blue, and yellow were the colors it changed. He gently lowered the lanturn into a slam hole he had made in the earth. The lanturn was attached to a hundred foot rope. It landed on a small stone alter in the middle of a room. The watch man, underground saw this and quickly took the lanturn and ran it to The Mistress.
A/N: YEAH! We all know who the Mistress is now. But who is "HE"? Guess you will just have to keep reading like always.
