Chapter 13
"To Die For"
"The time is 11:53 P.M."said a Death Eater.
''Almost time."said Lord Voldemort as he patted Hermione's hand.
Hermione was sitting on a stone table,her dress and hair wavering in the wind.A circle of Death Eaters were around her,down on their knees,bowing and chanting.The full moon was now high above them.Soon,her powers would return to her,and no one could stop her.
NEARBY
Harry and the others came upon the castle.It seemed to be alive as the moon above shown down upon it.Harry saw bright lights coming from the highest balcony above.
"Up there!"he whispered to the others.
They crept into the castle like mice in a room full of sleeping cats.The hair on Harry's neck stood up as he motioned for the group to split up.Ron and Dumbledore followed Harry up the stairs.So far,they have had no trouble,everything seemed to be going as planned.
BACK AT THE BALCONY
Hermione layed down on the table.Lord Voldemort took out his wand and said a few spells.A bright,pink glow surrounded Hermione.She could feel a burning sensation ripple through her body.She closed her eyes and layed their,waiting for the spell to be done.Finally,the pink light vanished,and Hermione sat up.
"Now,to complete the process,you must drink the blood of a living foe."said Lord Voldemort.
"Who would that be?"asked Hermione.
She saw two Death Eaters bring someone to her.It was Harry.She also saw that two of the other six people were Ron and Dumbledore.
"We caught him and six others inside."said one of the Death Eaters.
Lord Voldemort circled around Harry.
"Tisk,tisk,Potter.Still think you can destroy me?"he asked.
Harry didn't answer,just glared.
"Ah,but have no worry.You will serve a purpose for me."said Lord Voldemort.
He took out a small knife.Harry watched as Lord Voldemort gripped Harry's arm and slice it.Harry whinced as a river of blood poured out and into a cup that layed on the ground.Lord Voldemort picked up the full cup and walked over to Hermione.
"Drink this,and the process will be complete."he told her.
Hermione raised the cup to her lips,her eyes resting on Harry.His eyes met hers,and suddenly,Hermoine stopped.The look in Harry's eyes was haunting her,begging her to stop.
"Don't do it,Hermoine!"said Harry.
"Do it!"barked Lord Voldemort.
"Please think of you friends,your parents,your job,all you students,and who you are."said Harry.
"Don't listen to him!He's just fool!"growled Lord Voldemort.
"Please listen to your heart!"begged Harry."Who is at that it tells you who you are?"
Hermione felt something she hadn't felt in a while,love.She dropped the cup and watched it as it shattered on the ground,watched as she saw the disbelief and dreams shatter in Lord Voldemort's eyes.The blood splattered on the ground.Hermione looked at Harry.
"I am...Hermione Granger."she said.
Suddenly,a church bell rang nearby.
Ding,ding,ding,ding,ding,ding,ding,ding,ding,ding,ding,ding.
Twelve tolls.
The process to retrieve Hermione's dorment powers had failed.She knew that she could never hurt the ones she loved.She thought about her parents,her students,her friends,Harry,and her life she had before all of this started.
"Kill them!"barked Lord Voldemort.
Harry bit the hands of the Death Eaters that were holding him.The others who had came with Harry drew out their wands and began shooting hexes and curses at the Death Eaters.Hermione tried to run to Harry,but felt two cold hands wrap around her neck.She was spun around and came face to face with the Dark Lord.
"You had your chance."he said to her."Now,you will die."
