~*~*~*~ Chapter 23: Accio Voldemort ~*~*~*~
HERMIONE'S POV
It has been a couple of months now, and my relationship with Draco is very stable and perfect. We still haven't slept together, but there's always enough time, right? Ah, there he is with his silky blonde hair and dashing smile.
"Hey gorgeous," he said and kissed me.
"Hey yourself sunshine." I replied. He looked at me strangely and I rolled my eyes. Our NEWT exams were almost here and I was spending the whole of Saturday night with Draco. After that, I swore we would cut out leisure time down, seeing as there is only two weeks till the exams. It was the Saturday morning, and we had revision classes on today. At 5.00 I was going to meet Draco at our garden. I remember the last time we were there. How romantic! I sighed and began eating.
AT 5.00PM
I walked down to the garden. It was a nice warm night. I had worn my lime green Singlet top and a hot pink short skirt. I had my hair down, which reached about a quarter of the way down my back now since it had grown. When I got there I was immediately hit by a curse. I uttered a cry of surprise and flicked my wand out.
"Shhh, don't worry. It's me. I want it to be a surprise," Draco said from behind me. He had placed a blinding spell on me.
I felt something soft beneath me. He took of the spell. I was once again sitting a table filled with food, much the same as last time. He really wasn't very original, but as long as I get to spend time with him, it's all good.
"Well, dig in," he said. I began eating as did he and we talked. After we had finished, he blinded me again and led me to another place. When the charm came off, I saw a nice plush bed thing surrounded with rose petals.
"Wow! It's beautiful." And it was. I turned around and kissed him slowly but forcefully. He started to move me back to the bed. It was very soft.
(A/N: This is PG-13, so I'm not putting any R stuff in. you can imagine it if you really want to. I am fast-forwarding to the day before the NEWTS.)
BEEP, BEEP, BEEP!
I blearily opened one eye. 6.00am. Good. I got up, had a quick shower, grabbed my books and went into the common room. I had magically enlarged my desk so it could fit everything and then began to study. Harry, Ron and Draco were coming over after breakfast and we would study together. Hilary and Ginny were going to their room, or somewhere else. Our first exam was tomorrow and it was Care of Magical Creatures.
"Mione, come one. We're going for breakfast now." Hilary and Ginny sauntered towards the door and stood there waiting for me. I finished my sentence and then sped down with them. I ate a piece of toast with egg on top, and then took a canister of pumpkin juice and a couple of pastries with me upstairs. Shortly, the three boys came in and we got down to some serious studying.
The rest of the day pretty much went like this. I got to sleep at 11, as I wanted a fresh start tomorrow.
(THE NEXT DAY)
We went into the room and sat down.
"You may begin reading," Professor McGonagall said sharply. She was supervising this exam, accompanied by a ministry official.
I opened my book. The first question. 'Name 5 dangerous features about a Krupnuk." That's easy. They all pretty much went like this and finally we got out and went to lunch. After lunch was our practical potions exam and that was it for the day.
"How did your potion go?" Ron asked Harry.
"Not bad. It was a shade lighter than what it should have been." Harry looked dishevelled and tired.
"How did yours go Draco?" Ron asked him.
"Not bad. It smelled a bit, but was pretty much right."
"Lucky for you. Mine was too runny. I could tell by the look on his face!"
We walked down to dinner. I was waiting for Ron to ask me how I went.
"My instructor was very nice you know," I said trying to drop a hint. They grunted their reply.
"Yeah, she was pretty considerate," I said again.
"Look Mione, we know your going to tell us how your potion went anyway, so we're going to save our breaths," Ron said.
"Well! Even though I might seem interested in how you went, doesn't say I mean it! And for your information, my potion was perfect."
Harry looked at Ron and grinned. I couldn't help telling them. I needed someone to know.
I went to my room and started studying again.
---------------------------------------------------------------
"Ah. The last exam. I can't wait till it's over. We can do whatever we want," Draco said and slyly winked at me. I blushed and prayed that no one had picked up on the second meaning. We went into our charms exam and sat down.
"You may begin reading," the squeaky voice of Professor Flitwick announced.
We started reading and shortly writing.
"Times up everyone. I have to collect your parchments now," Flitwick said. I had just finished proofreading it for the seventh time.
Flitwick waved his wand and announced "Accio.Voldemort!!" Voldemort flew through the air towards Flitwick.
There was malice in his face.
"You summoned me Flitwick?" he asked sarcastically, yet enjoying it. There was utmost panic in the room. Students were screaming and running to get out, but the doors were barricaded with death eaters.
"Avada Kedavra!" Flitwick's small limp body fell to the ground in a crumpled heap.
"SILENCE!" it was the roaring voice of Dumbledore. For a minute there was a look of terror in Voldemort's eyes, but that disappeared almost instantly. He turned and with a swish of his cloak walked through the glass behind him. There was a broom waiting there and he flew of. The death eaters weren't far behind. Suddenly my senses clicked into action.
"Stupefy!" I yelled. I yelled it again and again. There were about 200 death eaters about to escape. The students around me started to get the drift and shot stunners of their own. Dumbledore had disappeared, most likely to stop Voldemort so it was up to us. The death eaters were throwing back spells of their own. All the teachers had come to help us. Soon, there was a bang and the unstunned death eaters had gone.
When the dust cleared we went around to see how much damage had been done. There were about 20 stunned death eaters lying on the ground, and about 15 other bodies.
"We have to revive everyone who's not a death eater. Come on!" Harry urged everyone. We ran around reviving everyone.
I came up to Justin Finch-Fletchly. "Enervate" I muttered and started to move onto the next one. He didn't move. "Enervate" I said. He still wasn't moving.
"Harry. I can't revive him. Do you think you could do any other counter curses?" I called out to him. Harry came over quickly and bent down. He placed two fingers on his neck.
"Don't be silly. No one could have dies in that. Just do a spell," I told him.
"I'm sorry Hermione. The curses won't work. He's gone," he said and looked at me with sombre eyes.
"No." I couldn't believe it. This was Hogwarts. We were safe at Hogwarts. Justin and I hadn't been the closest friends, but if I were in the library and alone, he would come and talk to me.
"I can't believe this," I muttered.
"Can't believe what?" Hannah Abbot had come up to me. She had been going out with Justin since last year's ball. "Hey. Why aren't you reviving Justin? Enervate" she muttered.
He didn't budge. "Hannah, he won't wake up. I'm really sorry," I told her.
"No. This isn't right. Our anniversary is coming up." She fell on the ground next to him.
"It's ok." I started crying and so did she. We sat there crying and hugging each other for a while.
I looked up. Ernie was standing there looking stunned. He was also a good friend of Justin's. I knew there used to be a bit of hostility between the two because Ernie used to go out with Hannah before Justin. But they were still close.
"Ernie, I'm so sorry." Hannah got up and hugged Ernie. I saw something that looked like longing flash in his eyes, but that turned back to disbelief in one second. I went to see what other damage had been done.
"Are there any casualties Harry?" Professor McGonagall asked.
"Professor Flitwick and Justin Finch Fletchy," he said.
I walked over to Draco who was standing there stunned and hugged him. He noticed I was there and kissed me on the forehead.
"Students. Students! Listen up please. Dumbledore wishes to make an announcement." McGonagall shouted out to everyone.
"Please, I urge you not to cause panic in any other of the other students. They are not to know what happened. At the moment, everyone else thinks that a troll has come into the castle, and that's the way it stays. I would also like to see Harry, Hermione, Draco and Ron in my office straight away. You may go back to your room. Owl delivery has been stopped."
There was a lot of hustle and bustle and the students went to their room. We went to Dumbledore's office and found Hilary and Ginny in there.
"Sit down everyone." Dumbledore was sitting behind his desk.
"Now, we have a messenger in the school. One of our students has been relaying information to the death eaters and Voldemort. There is no way they could have known how to find you at the house of how to get here, or even what exam you had today. There is nothing we can do to stop this, except stop the post. Now we are going in for battle in exactly one month's time. Until then, you will be training with Mrs Moody during all normal school hours, and on weekends. The other students will be informed of what is going on, and then anyone in your year who still wants to participate in the fight, will also attend duelling classes held by Professors Snape and McGonagall. I want this information to be kept confidential. Now go to bed. You have a lot of training to get through tomorrow."
"Oh, and please try your hardest. Harry, may I have a few words?" Harry nodded and the rest of us left.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A/N: How was that? I think I might start writing the story from no one's POV. I'll try it next chapter. If you don't read this, I'm pretty sure you won't quite know what's going on next chapter, SO IT PAYS TO READ THE AUTHORS NOTES!
