AN: I´m sooooo sorry!!! That´s just another poof that I can´t get along with numbers.... my

maths teacher would just smile and say it was typical for me. I am really, really sorry. But I

hope you like this one....

"Heaven holds a sense of wonder"

I could leave when I might try

I could run away

But something inside drives me home

I'm a hungry slave enslaved

Strange how the wind blows

And love you'll never know

When did it come to you and me

It was always meant to be

So I say to you Perhaps this dreaming is real

I give up, let fate decide

Throw up my hands, enjoy the ride

With you here right by my side

Back where I belong

Chapter VII Back where I belong

"Hermione, how is this possible? I mean, you where dead!" George was absolutely stunned.

Hermione just smiled, it felt good when someone was happy to see you again.

"Fred, George, she just arrived, let her time, let her breahte."

Molly Weasley shouted. She had come to look why the twins made that much noise.

"Hermione, darling, nice to see you. Remus told me this morning that you would probably

come today. But I didn´t expect you to be here that early."

"I thought it would be better to come earlier..."

Hermione wanted to continue, but Molly just cut her off,

"I think you want a pancake. I just made some. Come, I´m sure you still know where the

kitchen is."

And Molly make her way downstairs.

"Mum did know that you were alive? That´s unfair."

Fred seemed to be really shocked. More about the fact that his mother knew and he not, than

that Hermione had not been dead.

"And don´t tell me you lived all the time under your real name..."

George added quickly.

"No, I didn´t. Percy gave me a faked idea."

"No, tell me that you are kidding. OUR Mr. Perfect-I-know-everything-and- the-law-is-oho-

so-important-Percy?"

Hermione laughed but nodded.

"Yeah, but..."

But she was cut off again, this time by Fred.

"So everyone knew, Lupin, Mom, Percy and some other people?" he made a face.

"I don´t like the thought of that."

"No one except for Percy knew. Lupin bumped into me yesterday and then he informed your

Mum. After them you are the only ones who know."

"Fred, George, bring Hermione and Remus down to the kitchen. And hurry, the pancakes are

going to get cold."

Mrs. Weasley screamed from downstairs.

****************

Down in the kitchen was Mrs. Weasley waiting for them. It smelled wonderful like pancakes

and fresh coffee.

"And I wondered why Mum made pancakes."

George mumbled.

But Mrs. Weasley overheard him.

"Because Hermione is here. She is a guest so be nice."

"Mum, why didn´t you told us that Hermione was going to come?"

"Because I was not sure if she would."

Mrs. Weasley smiled at Hermione.

"But I am really glad you did. Fred, go and tell your father he shall come down."

Fred made his way to the stairs, but his mother shouted after him

"And don´t tell him who is wainting."

She grinned widely.

"he will be so happy to see you Hermione. He was completely off guard after he heard from

your "death". It was hard for him, after he lost the others as well."

Her face darkened by this memory.

"But, that´s over. You are here and that is all that matters."

Hermione felt bad when she saw Molly´s happy face.

She knew that it would hurt her and the other to hear that she would not stay.

The door opened and in came a really tired looking Arthur Weasley.

He looked around and was even about to ask his wife why she wanted him to be up that early

when he saw Hermione.

No one said something when they saw how he looked at her. He couldn´t move, he just stared

at her.

When he finally spoke, his voice was husky and Hermione could hear and see, that the losses

of this war had left their traces on him.

He seemed much older than she remembered him.

"Is....are....you.....do...I....I..mean..are...you..real?"

She tired to smile and nodded.

"Yeah, it is me. I am alive. You are not crazy."

"Oh..my..God.." Was all he said for the next minutes.

He carefully took a few steps towards her, slowly, like she would vanish if he moved too fast

or came too near.

When he stood in front of her, he raised his hand and touched her cheek.

A single tear slid from the corner of his eyes.

He understood that he wasn´t dreaming at all and so he hugged her tightly and whispered into

her ear:

"Hermione, I am so incredible happy that you are not dead."

********************

Hermiones POV

I feel so bad.

It hurts like hell, I know, if I say that I will go,that I won´t fight by their side, they won´t stop

me, but it will hurt them. And I don´t want to hurt them.

Arthur was so happy to see me again.

It makes me really feel bad to go, but I know that I cannot stay.

It will kill the rest of life and will to live that is inside me.

And if you go? Do you think it will be easier if you go?I don´t know... But I have to try it.So you will try to go, but you will not try to stay and fight. That is not logical at all.So what do you think I should do?Stay, help them.Aha, I am saving our life by going far away from this war, and you.. you tell me to stay.You lie, when you say you go for saving our life, you just go because you don´t want to be hurt again.

And I am not sure if that would help us.

We would have to live with the thought that we left our friends and people who care alone.You know me so damn good.Easy, I am you

"Hermione, take a seat. You look so lost, standing in the middle of the kitchen and starring

holes into the air."

Mrs. Weasleys voice pushed her inner fight away.

They sat at the table and were eating breakfast. Hermione almost forgot that it was war and

she was never going to see those people again if she was going to leave.

Hermione was listening to their stories.

George for example was married to a muggleborn. And she was pregnant. He was very proud

and could wait to become father.

"Sorry George, but I have my problems to imagine you as a father."

Hermione laughed.

"That says almost everyone." Fred supported her.

"Hunpf, I´ll be the greatest father a child could wish."

"I do not want to know what this child is gonna do when it is at Hogwarts."

Lupin said smiling.

"Probably it will be worse than George and me together.

I mean, which child has a father and an uncle who are having a fun-article shop?"

Fred grinned at the thought what this child would bring Hogwarts into.

"But, it will have another uncle who is going to be a good example."

They turned around and saw Percy standing in the door.

"Hey, Hermione, Oh my God. How did they found you?"

Percy seemed really concerned. He thought if the good guys could find Hermione,

the bad ones could have done it much earlier.

"No, nothing to worry about, Lupin bumped into me yesterday."

Hermione hugged Percy.

"It feels good to see everyone again."

"Oh, I wished I would bump into that nice ladies too. Remus, can´t you give me advice?"

Fred asked grinning cheeky at Hermione.

She just blushed and was happy that Tonks came in and right stopped at the door.

"Hermione? No, that can´t be true!"

"Tonks, Hermione heard that speech about ten times today and it is just 10.30 a.m.

So please, just take a seat a be happy that she is here again."

Fred said. He sounded a bit annoyed.

But Hermione and Tonks both ignored him and hugged each other.

"I sometimes believed to see you, but I was never sure." She smiled happily.
