Chapter Ten, The Duel
It was now mid-July, and Harry always on guard never did anything without having his wand on him, and it's a good thing, too. Because guess who shows up on Privet Drive, who else but, Voldemort! And he challenged Harry to a duel, "I'm going to finish you off once and for all, Potter." "Not a chance," Harry yelled back, not exactly sure why he said it. They tilted their heads slightly as a sign of bowing, not taking their eyes off each other. Before Voldemort could mutter a single curse, Harry roared something indescribable, Destroying Voldemort once and for all, turning him to nothingness, leaving a cloak and a wand behind, and at the same moment every Deatheater screamed in agony at the burning, of there forearm, collapsing to death only to wither away and disappear, Never to return, Harry of coarse did not know the latter. All of a sudden he heard a 'POP' and there appeared Professor Dumbledore smiling with a twinkle in his eye, "Harry, do you know what just happened ?" Harry just shook his head, No. Just then Professor McGonagall popped in. "Minerva, Please go get Fudge and bring him hear." She nodded and with a pop was gone again. "Harry, you just defeated Voldemort!" "How?" "The curse you used is extremely Ancient and Powerful Magic, There is only one explanation of How You knew it!" "And that is?" "You've always known it, for it can only be used to defeat a Great Evil." Harry stood there in shock. Voldemort is Gone, raced through his mind, The Great Evil was defeated by him, a 16 year old boy! Then with Two Pops Fudge and McGonagall appeared. "What is it Professor?" "Please sit down and I'll tell you." With that four chairs appeared, and Dumbledore explained exactly what had happened. Fudge was in Shock then he said to Harry, "Mr. Potter, you are a hero, is there anything, anything at all I can do for you?" Without a second thought Harry replied, "Drop all charges on Sirius Black, and the Hippogriff, Buckbeak, admit that you,and the ministry caught the wrong man and pardon Sirius." Fudge was shocked but agreed to Harry's terms. Dumbledore said that he would find Sirius, so Fudge left with a pop to tell The Daily Prophet the wonderful news of Voldemort's defeat. With Fudge's departure Dumbledore turned to Harry, "Harry, I know you would like to come with me to find Sirius, but I think it would be best for you to lie low for awhile, I will see if you can stay at Ms. Granger's because then you would not be overwhelmed by the hero worship from the wizarding world, You will be able to go to Sirius' once his affairs are in order, is that clear?" "Yes, sir." "Now go pack, I will go make sure it's alright for you to go to the Granger's, If so I'm sure Hermione will owl you with what time they are to pick you up, Good Bye and Good Night, Harry." About an hour later Harry received an owl from Hermione, it read:
Dear Harry,
Of coarse you can come, my parent's and I will pick you up at ten, tomorrow morning. Congratulations! See you Tomorrow.
Love,
Hermione
Harry was overjoyed, quickly packed his things, and went to sleep.
Chapter Eleven, Going to Hermione's
At nine the next morning Harry awoke showered, got dressed and then lugged his trunk and Hedwig down to the entrance hall, then he went into the kitchen, saw a note from the Dursley's that they had left, and he ate a bowl of cereal. Happily knowing he would never have to see the Dursley's again! Sirius is free, and they'd be graduating this year! Then he heard a knock on the door, he opened it and there stood Hermione and her parents, "Hi, Harry, How are you doing?" "I'm great," and he hugged her. During the hug she whispered, "You've got to tell me what happened." He whispered back "I will, when we are alone." Harry lugged his trunk, Hermione grabbed Hedwig's cage and they put it all in the back of the Granger's car. (Letting Hedwig out to fly, not locking her in the trunk, that would be cruel). They got in the car, and Harry said, "Hello Mr. and Mrs. Granger." "Hello Harry, we've heard so much about you." They replied. Soon afterward Harry and Hermione fell asleep on the back seat of the car, where Harry dreamed of the prediction, still having no idea what it meant.
Chapter Twelve
About two hours later they arrived at the Granger home. Harry and Hermione were woken up, by Mrs. Granger. Mr. Granger had already taken Harry's thing's up to the guest room, which was next to Hermione's room and the library(It's Hermione's house, they have to have a library). Her parent's room was downstairs. After a tour of the house and lunch, they went out to the yard, toured it and Harry told Hermione everything that had happened the previous night, then they were called in for dinner. After dinner Hermione and Harry watched some muggle television and then went to their rooms to sleep. It had been two long days in a row, or so it seemed to Harry. The next day Harry woke up at eleven, got dressed and went downstairs, where he saw Hermione reading a book at the kitchen table, "Morning Hermione," his stomach in knots. "Good Morning, Sleepyhead. Do you want some breakfast, or should I say lunch?" "Please." They had orange juice and turkey and cheese sandwiches on wheat bread, (Remember, Hermione's Parents are Dentists). "Harry isn't your birthday in a week and a half?" "Yeah, Why?" "Do you want to have a party?" "A party, um, I've never had a birthday party as long as I can remember." he trailed off. "Then your going to have a party." "Can it be small with no guests?" "I guess so, why? Don't you want Ron to come?" "No, I don't want anyone, the wizarding world, our friends, would probably go crazy if they came, considering what just happened." "Your right." "Just us then and whatever presents you get." "Great" exclaimed Harry overjoyed. "Harry have you started your homework, yet?" "Of coarse, I'm actually almost done, just Care of Magical Creatures left." "Fantastic!" Harry looked puzzled, "What else is there to do at the Dursley's." Hermione was overjoyed her friend had actually done almost all of his homework, she had finished about a week ago. Harry finished his essay at around five. "Hermione?" "Hmm?" "What are you reading?" "Oh, a muggle book about wizards and other magic folk, made up mostly." "Is it any good?" "Yeah, it's wonderful there's a wizard, who really reminds me of Dumbledore." "That's awesome! What's it called?" "The book's called 'The Lord of the Rings, the character's name is Gandalf." "Can I read it?" "Yeah, there's another copy on that shelf over there." Hermione said motioning with her arm. Hermione and Harry sat there reading until her father came and got them for dinner at around eight. At dinner, "Hermione that book is awesome, we should bring it to Hogwarts." "You're right I'll bring it with me, when we go to school." "Fantastic! I wonder if Dumbledore's read it?" "Well, we could ask him." "Definitely." They finished eating and went up to the library to continue reading, falling asleep on each other's head, at around dawn. They woke up with Hermione's parents laughing at them, "What are you two laughing about?" "You guys are drooling all over each other," stifling a laugh. They sat up banging heads, seeing each other with wet shoulders and faces they cracked up. Her parents had left awhile ago when they got up and went to the bathroom to wash off their faces then they went to their rooms to change. Harry felt a tingling sensation whenever he and Hermione touched, but he wasn't going to say anything, actually she felt the same way but she also wasn't going to say anything. They went down to dinner then went up to Hermione's room finished the book, then sat their until they fell asleep (the next afternoon) talking about it. They both absolutely loved it. After a few days they got back to a normal schedule, hung out, talked, and wondered why do I always feel funny when I'm with her? Why do I always feel funny when I'm with him?
