**Hey hey guys! I can't believe it, after almost a year of writing this
beloved story, I am finally at chapter 40 and still with incredible fans,

And I wish I could have been so much better with handing in the stories
faster, but I admit, its much easier for me to write during school time,

3 chapters left of this story, before I write a sequel to it of course, but
more of that later!! Now read on I know you want to.!!!!**
**Now for those who forgot, a short very quick recap of chapter 39, Draco and Hermione back together, Harry feels severe pain in his forehead and falls to the floor and whispers "He's back." and that's how it ended. So on to the following to see what happens.***
CHAPTER 40 -THE NIGHT OF DREAMS OR NIGHTMARES? Part 2
HERMIONE'S POV
"...he's back..."
In those very words I felt shivers running up my spine and a cold dread sweep over me, the feeling that I had felt that this night would somehow turn out disastrous felt as more real then ever and I did not want to face it.
Still some people didn't notice the commotion going around Harry. The teachers began to get up from their chairs, with Professor Evee coming running from the sound of her heels towards where Harry was clutching his forehead.
Professor Evee reached where the three of us knelt down. Draco was standing beside me, listening into the conversation with his hands in his pockets, angered by the interruption.
Both Ron, Harry and I looked up at her, waiting for the explanation we thought she would have for this situation, for we all felt she knew this day was approaching quicker then we thought.
And suprising her own self by not talking and just checking her surroundings, she began to notice the change that the room was going through, and so did everyone else.
It wasn't necessarily a change we could all see with our eyes, but we could feel it. The great hall began to heat up slowly, as if we were all in a slow roasting barbeque, about to be eaten.
The music had stopped, The professors stood from their seats as Sirius began to walk slowly to where we were crouched on the floor.
I stood up and turned to Draco,
"What's happening?" I asked him as I helped him undo his tie that he was fidgeting with.
"I don't know, it seems to be getting hotter by the second." He replied putting a hand through his now moist hair.
Then Harry stood up and turned to Professor Evee as he whipped out his wand and had it set ready to almost pounce if he saw something odd happen.
Professor Evee did not look at Harry nor at anyone else, she just walked out into the middle of the ball room floor and yelled out:
"I want everyone to leave this room now!!!!!!! Just get out of here as swiftly and fast as you can!!!!!" Everyone in the giant room began to panic even more as Professor Dumbledore and Professor Kilkylard began to push students out the doors, but to no use, all doors in the room were slammed shut, and locked with anti jinxing spells.
But nothing else happened for two hours, it was as if we were wearing away slowly in the heat. After the two hours, most people had taken off their shoes, socks, gloves, ties, jackets, etc. I had retied my hair into a tight bun and securing the beautiful scarf around my head, it's as if whoever was doing this, was doing this to slowly drain us from all the energy we had.
Draco was seated on a chair by the table with his head on his hand and his elbow on the table. I sat perched on his one knee and leaning onto the table itself. Harry though stood firmly beside Professor Evee, both of them wondering when and how the attack will come. Professor Dumbledore and Professor Kilkylard had apparated out of the building to get help from the Ministry of Magic. Professor Snape just sat there looking bored to death, while Sirius tried to get Professor Evee to relax.
"Evee there is no use just standing here, when he comes he'll come, why don't you have something to drink to calm yourself?" But Sirius stopped he could tell Evee was changing. He could tell that she felt her father coming, she was growing angry, and began to resemble the terrrifying red eye snake that ran through her blood.
Her hands began to shake, and her eyes blinked madly, and then she just opened her eyes, and the lush green that lived in them was now gone, and all that remained was fiery red.
She began to walk over to the middle of the ballroom floor once again now in her new state. I could believe that even those fiery mad red eyes, against her sick and paily skin, and her flowy but sweat drip long hair, she indeed still looked beautiful.
Slowly she lifted her hands up as she did when she was to do magic. And she seperated them so they were pointing opposite directions with her palms up. And as soon as she did that there was a loud crack all around the room, where dark masked men in black cloacks apparated all around her, the Death Eaters were now here.
Everyone in the Hall was silent, but Harry, Draco and I, and Ron who had just stopped arguing with Pansy, came abit closer to the scene, as did Sirius. Professor Snape sat where he was, just eyeing the scene behind his dark greesy hair.
Maybe we thought that Professor Evee might need our help, but to the honest truth, she was doing quite a fine job on her own.
"UNMASK YOURSELVES! If you are to reach your doom I rather to see your faces. COME NOW! Show the last strenght of bravery if you wilt, and unmask yourselves!" she yelled out, both her hands still spread out.
There was a bit of movement upon the maybe thirty Death Eaters that were there. But it seemed as if they were all waiting for one of them, maybe their leader to speak.
"Young Elloyha, we do not wish to hurt you, since you are our masters blood, we only want the boy!" he yelled out at her trying to sound more calm but the uneasinness in his voice was heard aswell.
I felt Harry almost shudder slightly at my side when they referred to him.
"If you want him, you must pass through me first!! I rather harm or even kill you lot then let you get to him, now UNMASK YOURSELVES!!!" she grew angry and heat began to bestow off her own body.
The one Death Eater who spoke made a gesture for all the men and women there to remove their masks, and as soon as the leader did, I heard someone drop their wand to the floor. I looked to where the wand was and to who was holding it and it was Draco. Whose mouth was breathing hard as he stood there watching his father from far away, cloacked in black, ready to commit murder.
He then got out of his trance as he went down to pick up his wand, and when he had gotten back up I reached for his other hand and helt it tight. I felt him squeeze it back.
"Now young Elloyha, do you still wish to kill us. Some of us have taught you much of what you know now, for instance, killing swiftly and painlessly, let me show you!!!!" Malfoy laughed as he pointed to a girl behind him who was caught of guard, she began to mumble out sobs.
"Do not cry little girl, you won't feel a thing, I promise, hahahhahahah!!!!!!" and he pointed his wand to her.
"And since when is a promise of a Death Eater worth anything!!!!" yelled out Evee as she magiclly appeared with a wand in her hand.
To fast be it to notice that somehow she ended up with Malfoy's wand in her hand. He almost didn't notice, until he began to spell out magic words and noticed there was nothing in his hand.
"Now Ellohya, give me back that wand, don't make me tell your Daddy, hahahah" he laughed out fakly, the sweat began to pour from his face.
"Is that supposed to frighten me??!" She laughed as well as she made his wand fly into the air as she guided it with her eyes and then it snapped in half and fell to the floor.
"And you think killing is fun Lucius? A wizard without magic is worse then a dead wizard I always say, hahahahahahah!!!" she laughed out loudly.
"Get her you fools!!!!" yelled out Lucious, but none of them would obey his orders. They just nervously stood there. "What are you doing you idiots!!! Kill her!!!"
"I'LL KILL HER!!!" yelled out a voice from behind the group. And as the young stout figure began to walk into the light, I gasped for breath and helt on to Draco even tighter. It was Crabbe, who before saying anything else caught a glimps of me and winked and licked his lips, which no one else seemed to noticed, except Draco and I.
But I was wrong someone else did notice, and luckily it was Professor Evee.
"Oh look who it is? I remember you! Now you think, a silly old 17 year old can kill me, do you even know who I am?!?!" she laughed once again, almost as evily as her father must of once laughed.
"No I don't know who you are, but I don't care, I just see that you are silly pathetic girl, who I can pound into pieces." He didn't look nervous at all, and he didn't seem frighten of her, or maybe it was because he didn't know who she was. Which apparently was funny to me.
"Well dear, allow me to introduce myself, I'll spare the history and get straight to it then." She brought her arm out and made her finger point to him, and told him to come forward. He slowly glided froward as if I string pulled him toward her. She dropped him 3 feet from her.
He sat on the ground surprised almost at this last action, almost to surprise to speak or to be scared.
She gently kneeled down to speak to him as if to speak to a child.
"May I ask you for whom you serve for?" she asked calmly.
"The Dar..k.lor.d" he stuttered.
"That's right sweety", she replied, playing him along. "Well. honey, Im the Dark Lord's Daughter."
He gasped "What?"
"Oh you didn't hear me?" she stood and yelled out so everyone in the room could hear. "I AM THE DARK LORD'S DAUGHTER, I AM ELLOHYA VOLDEMORT!!! I have his blood running through my veins, therefore I do not hesitate to kill if I have to!!" everyone in the room began to murmur and then silence once more when a figure apparated right behind her. A small almost delicated figure cloacked in black, who did not move a finger, and just stood behind her.
"Hello Father..I wondered when you'd come."
