Hermione froze. She stood up and ran out of the common room and onto the Quidditch field. Her fingers were stiff as she opened the envelope.
It read:
"Dear Miss Hermione Granger,
We are most unfortunate to inform you that Death Eaters attacked your parents and younger brother.
They are all still alive. Your mother is currently in St. Mungo's Hospital, and your baby brother is living with your Aunt Lindsay. Death Eaters, I'm afraid, have abducted your father.
If you wish to take your brother to Hogwarts, inform Headmaster Dumbledore. He will have a Portkey ready to take you to North Carolina, Tennessee, America.
Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge"
Hermione closed her eyes and slow tears tickled her cheek. She quickly wiped the tears away. She walked slowly to the common room, not caring that she had tears coming down her face, her hair was sticking to her face or that her eyes and face was red. When she walked into the common room, she was given stares of sympathy from the ones who know what kind of letter she got.
"I'm going to America," She said simply before walking up the stairs to her dorm and falling asleep.
~*~ Dream ~*~
Hermione was walking in a grass field, not knowing where she was walking.
She heard her family screaming in agony and she was trying her best to get to them.
She finally saw her family. They were all dead.
~*~ End of dream ~*~
Hermione woke up panting in cold sweat. "Hermione?" Lavender pulled the curtains away. "It was horrible," Hermione sobbed as Lavender hugged her. "I'm going down to the common room." Hermione said as she walked out of her dorm.
She got down to the common room and began thinking about her family. Her baby brother is in America; soon he'll be here. Her mother was in critical condition. And her father was in the hands of the Dark Lord.
Oh how peachy things get, Hermione thought bitterly. There was a sudden noise coming from the stairs. She saw Ron and Harry walk downstairs. "Oh, it's just you two," Hermione said before looking back into the dim fire. They didn't say anything. "Why are you going to America?" Harry suddenly asked. "Like either of you care," Hermione said. "We DO care, Hermione." Harry reasoned. "Fine! Death Eaters attacked my family! My mum is in St Mungo's! Voldemort abducted my dad! And my baby brother is in America! I'm going to America tomorrow to bring him here," Hermione said and stood up ready to leave until Harry and Ron put their hands on her shoulders and shoved her back in her seat.
"What is WRONG with you two!?" Hermione hissed trying to sit up, but Ron and Harry increased the pressure on their hold.
"First of all, nothing is wrong with us. Second, we care about your family, too. THIRD, is it really safe for you to go to America?" Harry let go of her. "I don't know! At this point, I wish Voldemort will just come and kill me! That way I wouldn't have to deal with all the crap I'm dealing with at the moment!" Hermione said. She said 'Voldemort', Harry thought. "Don't ever wish that," Ron muttered.
Harry knew this was his cue to leave. Harry left, unnoticed.
Hermione made a move to leave but couldn't because Ron kissed her. 'Ron is kissing me,' Hermione thought dumbly. Oh how much she wanted to push him away, but at the same time, she wanted him to stay (That rhymed!).
They broke away after a little while. "So all's forgiven?" Ron asked. Hermione kissed him. "I'll take that as a yes?" He asked. She kissed him again as a yes. "I should ask more yes or no questions to that I already know the answer to," Ron said before pulling her into another kiss. Suddenly, there was a high pitch scream coming from the fifth year girls' dorm. Ron and Hermione ran into the dorm, only to find Ginny on the floor with a knife in her stomach. "GINNY!" Ron yelled. Annabelle Sanders was clutching her head in her hands sitting on the floor, back against the wall.
Later on, Ron sat by Ginnys' bed holding her hand. Annabelle walked in. "I'm so sorry! I. We. What. I can't even get words out straight anymore!" She cried. "Shh, Annabelle. I'm not mad at you. I'm mad at You-Know-Who, not mad at you," (There goes my rhyming again!) Ron said. "How is she?" Annabelle asked. "She hasn't wake up since she got stabbed. Stacey healed her wounds, but she said Ginny is in shock, and it could last a while." Ron said. Annabelle nodded and left the hospital wing.
Out the window, Ron could see the sun starting to rise. He heard Ginny groan. "What happened?" She asked, blinking. "Annabelle was possessed again and stabbed you," Ron answered. "I feel like crap," Ginny groaned. "If it makes you feel anybody, Hermione and I are dating again," Ron said, trying to lighten the mood. "Oh, cool. Um. Did you want to know the whole story why I'm dating Draco?" Ginny asked. "That would be nice," Ron said.
Ginny told him everything. Ron hugged his younger sister when she finished because she started crying. "Ginny, what's wrong?" Tina walked inside the hospital wing. "I just told Ron everything," Ginny said. "Oh," Tina muttered. "Yeah," Ron said. "I'm going to tell Harry," Ginny said suddenly. "Don't bother. I already know," Harry appeared from behind the curtains that were around her bed. "Harry," Ginny gasped. Ron and Tina walked away, leaving Ginny and Harry alone. Ginny refused to look at Harry. "Ginny, look at me," Harry ordered.
She looked into his emerald eyes. "Yes?" She asked. "Will you go to the dance with me?" Harry grinned. "Of course," Ginny whispered, looking down. Harry placed his index finger under her chin and lifted her face to his. They kissed.
"ABOUT TIME!" Shouted Draco, Tina, Hermione, Ron, Colin and Charlie.
"Charlie!? What are you doing here!?" Ginny squealed as she hugged her older brother. "Fancy seeing me here?" Charlie asked. Ginny snorted. "And who are you?" Charlie asked Tina. "Oh! Tina. My name is Christina! But people just call me Tina," She replied. "Charlie Weasley," He said holding his hand out. She shook it. She felt butterflies in her stomach. 'Stop it, Tina!' She mentally scowled at herself. "Love is in the air!" Draco teased. "Shut it, squirt!" Tina threatened. Who would be scared of her? She's twenty-four years old and little, but when she's mad, she can kick butt.
It was amusing to see Draco squirm under her glare. "OK! I'll shut up," Draco said. "Hey Draco, I just remembered something! Your mum had a baby the same night Sean was born!" Ginny said. "Yeah. She had a baby girl. Her name is Kimberly." Draco said. "Soon we'll be hearing Kimberly saying 'Seany-poo!' and Sean saying 'Kimmy- wimmy!'" Ron snickered. "Aaaahhhh, no!" Draco said. They all laughed.
Then somebody walked in that nobody thought would, Sirius Black arguing with another girl who had white-blonde hair, tanned skin and pale blue eyes.
"You are so immature! You will NEVER change! You were immature in school, and you're immature now! I JUST GOT YOUR NAME CLEARED, AND YOU PULL A FREAKING PRANK ON ME!?" The girl was saying. "Oh, please! Aliza, you know it is in my nature to pull pranks on LOVELY ladies!" Sirius grinned. Aliza (a/n: Pronounced "Uh-Lie-Zuh") looked at Sirius and let out a frustrated noise. "You are so.so.so-" She was trying to find the right word to describe him. "Charming? Desirable? Funny? Adorable?" Sirius offered. "Infuriating!" Aliza said. "Um. Sirius, what are you doing here? And HOW did your name get cleared?" Harry asked.
"Oh, this lovely lady here found Peter Pettigrew and turned him in, and now I'm here, and he's in Azkaban for life!" Sirius said. Harry hugged Sirius. "Happy to see you to," Sirius said, still grinning. "Aww" All the girls teased. All the guys gave the girls a look that could burn a hole through concrete. Then everybody laughed.
~*~ D.E. H.Q. (Death Eater Head Quarters) ~*~
Cylia was walking down the halls when she heard two death eaters talking.
"Yea, so Master said he was going to take Cylias' powers away then kill her on the spot so when she dies, he wont." One of them said. "I never did like her. She was brilliant until she started acting all soft towards Diggory." The other said.
Cylia was now angry. She decided it was time to bring her father down. She ran to the chamber Cedric was in, didn't say anything and placed her hands on the chain holding him. There was a dim golden glow and the chain broke. She was too determined and mad to pass out this time. "Come on," She hissed. Her and Cedric got out without being caught. "Where exactly are we?" Cedric asked. She ignored him.
It took a day for them to get to Hogwarts, and when they did, Harrys' scar was hurting worse than ever. It didn't hurt when Tina was around, it only hurt when Voldemort or Cylia was around.
"Stay here," Cylia ordered as they reached the oak doors leading to the great hall. He nodded and she walked in. Only Dumbledore, Snape, Hermione, Charlie, Tina, Stacey, Draco, Harry, Ron and Ginny were in the Great Hall. "Cylia!" Tina said. "We need to talk, Albus!" Cylia said. "Certainly, Miss. Riddle." Dumbledore said as he and Snape rose from their seats. Stacey and Tina also stood up. At that moment, Aliza and Sirius walked in and Sirius froze when he saw Cylia. "Cylia Riddle?" He asked. "Well, well, well! If it isn't the FINE bloke who left me in the woods to die! Move out of my way, Black!" She spat. "Maybe if you hadn't put Stacey under Cruciatus and almost used the killing curse, I wouldn't have left you in the woods!" Sirius shot back. "Enough! Sirius, Cylia, Stacey, Ginny, Draco, Hermione, Serverus and Aliza come with me!" Dumbledore said. When they finally got out of the Great Hall, leaving Ron and Harry confused, the group saw Cedric.
"Mr. Diggory?" Dumbledore asked in disbelief. "Long story, we'll explain later!" Cylia snarled. Even if she was on the 'good side', that doesn't mean she can't be snide, right?
Once they were in Dumbledores' office, Cylia explained everything under the truth potion so they would believe her. One she was finished, Dumbledore understood everything. "Miss. Riddle, I can't say that I'm not disappointed in you, but I know you were raised by Tom, so I can't really blame you. Now let's start planning the final battle. We can't let him catch us off-guard. When did he plan on attacking, Cylia?" Dumbledore asked. "A week before Halloween." She answered. "We'll send the students home the two days before the final battle, then." Dumbledore said.
~*~ A/N: OK! It's moving a bit fast, I know! But this story will have a sequel when it's over! And then I'll probably write a third.
