Chapter 28: Reverto (to go back)
review me! Review me! ^_^ I loooove you all!
What followed was a huge blast, with such power that it fired Harry and Hermione against the wall. Flashing green light filled the room.
Harry opened his eyes, blinking a few times, and saw an empty room. He quickly turned to Hermione, who opened her eyes as well. 'Is.. is it over?' she asked, grabbing Harry's shoulder for support because she was shaking. Harry nodded, smiling bitterly. Hermione suddenly clapped her hand in front of her mouth, widening her eyes. 'I've killed people...' she said, shaking even more than before, releasing a few tears. Harry quickly wrapped an arm around her to support her. 'Hermione,... they weren't people. They were murderers.' Harry tried. Hermione's lip trembled. 'But now I'm a murderer too,...' Harry immediatly shook his head 'No! Hermione,.. they HAD to die,.. there was no other way, okay?' Hermione smiled bitterly. 'So,..so, he's dead?' she asked again. Harry smiled. 'He is. He finally is.' 'And you are okay?' Hermione asked worried. Harry nodded. 'I'm perfectly fine,...you?' Hermione wiped her tears away. 'Never better.' She said, not really convincing.
At that moment, Draco came running into the room. 'WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?' he shouted, pulling his wand out of his pocket. 'YOU'VE KILLED MY FATHER!!! YOU'RE GOING TO PAY!!!' he raged. Harry quickly drew his wand as well and jumped in front of Hermione. 'YOU need to BACK OFF! We can't help it your father was a Death Eater!' Harry shouted. Draco lowered his wand, breathing heavily. 'That Mudblood has killed my FATHER, wheter he was a Death Eater or not, she KILLED him,...' he roared. 'WHY do you keep calling her a Mudblood if she isn't a Mudblood?' Harry asked, putting his wand away 'We're not going to attack you, Malfoy. Go away.' Harry told him. Draco put his wand away. 'You're not finished with this, Granger.' And he disapparated.
'It is.. sad' Hermione stated, while they walked through the empty corridors. Harry frowned. 'Nothing sad about it. His dad was a Death Eater.' Harry shrugged. 'Yes,...maybe, but maybe Draco didn't want his father to be like this,..' Hermione trailed off. 'I think he's even worse than his father was. Now, we need to find Lupin and Tonks,...' Harry turned a corner, followed closely by Hermione. A long corridor was in front of them. 'How,..how did it feel...dying?' Harry asked all of the sudden. Hermione shrugged. 'don't remember it that well,.. just, that I saw my mother and grandmother, both telling me to return to my body.... I was all,...floating,... towards heaven I guess,...I couldn't return though, I kept on going to the light,... but then my mother and grandmother seized me and pulled me back into my body.' Hermione told. Harry listened breathless. 'So,.. you were pulled back into your body... by ghosts,...' Hermione nodded and then pointed 'Look! People!'
Two people were making their way towards them, from the other end of the corridor. One of them waved. Harry immediatly regonized this person as Tonks, and the person next to her was Remus Lupin.
'Harry! Hermione! Glad to see you're both unharmed' Lupin greeted. Tonks was supporting him, Harry saw Lupin's leg was bleeding. 'Did you...?' Hermione started and Lupin smiled 'No it's not a serious injury, just happen to come across a few Death Eaters. How about you two?' Lupin asked. Harry smiled 'We've defeated Voldemort,..' Hermione shook her head. 'HARRY'S defeated Voldemort. I've only killed some Death Eaters,...' Lupin and Tonks both dropped their jaws. 'Voldemort? Defeated? But Harry, that's,...that's wonderfull! That's AMAZING!' Tonks gasped.
After telling them the whole story, it was time for them to tell their story.
'Well, we came to spy here, like Dumbledore told us too,.. but then we found you guys in trouble,...' Tonks explained. 'We actually came to see if it was true that Voldemort had his hideout here,... but when we saw you...' 'we had to act. Luckily, you could escape, but we,... we weren't that lucky. They locked us in some classroom,...' Lupin frowned 'It was more like a dungeon. But we managed to escape when two of our Death Eaters went away, probably to support Voldemort in his battle against you, and only one Death Eater was left with us. Who, unfortunately, attacked me. But everything's alright now, I guess' Lupin explained.
'Mm,.. I think there is no reason for us to remain here, now is there?' Tonks said. 'Let's get back to Hogwarts.' Lupin agreed. The four of them walked towards the exit.
