Hermione looked at Harry expectantly. "You have something important to tell
me?"
Harry glanced at the floor. "Well you don't have to if you don't want to.
But I have this.apartment, and its gonna be a little lonely by myself."
Harry looked into Hermione's eyes and grabbed her hand. "Would you like to
move in with me?"
Hermione's eyes went wide. She had not expected this. Harry always seemed
so distant. "Do you mean it?" she whispered.
Harry looked at her expectantly; "Of cause I mean it." He kissed her
passionately. "I never want to leave you." He whispered. He was starting to
get nervous. 'Why won't she answer me?' he wondered. This was the hardest
thing Harry had ever done, so far.
"Yes." Hermione suddenly said
"Huh?"
"Yes, I would love to move in with you."
Harry smiled. "I love you." He hugged her again and kissed Hermione warmly.
Hermione smiled. "I love you too Harry."
A loud scream erupted from out side the Gryffindor tower. Harry let go of Hermione and raced out of the room, his wand held infront of him. Since Voldemort's return, Harry had not left his wand lying around. There were just to many wizards that wanted him dead. The few Gryffindor's that were awake stood frozen in the common room. Harry inched slowly to the door. A hand grasped his shoulder. He spun around and saw Hermione, now dressed in her school robes. He looked at her and quickly kissed her hand before stepping outside.
Libby layed unconscious on the floor, her face covered in fresh blood. Harry cautiously stepped out into the deserted hallway. Outside he could see that Libby's body was cut in two, her bottom half was laying over 3 meters away. Blood soaked the floor between the body parts and Harry covered his mouth and tried to control his gag reflex. Hermione followed Harry out and squealed when she saw Libby's dead body. Harry turned to her. "Where's Ron?" he said as calmly as he could. Hermione looked back at Libby and then back at Harry. "I'll find him." She whispered, and quickly rushed from the scene. Harry watched her leave then finally crept out into the hall. Suddenly he saw something fly out of the corner of his eye. He ducked just in time to miss the axe that came flying at him. He spun quickly, and gasped as Ginny's eyes stared into his own. "Why?" Harry asked. But Ginny just smiled and raised her wand. Her leg bone was sticking though her leg, and blood ran freely from her ear and face, but it didn't seem to stop her at all. "Adva Kadavera" she whispered. Harry spun out of the way, just in time to dodge the lightning bolt from her wand. Hermione was suddenly at Harry's side. She pointed her wand at Ginny and commanded, "Elfreeza!" Ginny laughed as she felt no reaction to the spell, but suddenly ice began to form around her wand. She cussed and threw it to the ground. Shuttering into a million pieces, the wand would neve be used again. Ginny raised her arm and whispered dangerously under her breath and smiled as the axe began to wedge itself out of the wall. Ron appeared in his pyjamas. He ignored Harry as he shouted out a warning. He let out a long slow groan as he saw Libby's body on the ground. He ran to her and cradled her head. "I love you Lib. don't leave me." It seemed to Harry that Ron hadn't noticed that Libby's body was cut in two. Suddenly Ron noticed Ginny. He rose and attacked her. "Why?" he screamed at her, as he hit her over and over. Harry and Hermione pulled Ron off his sister. Ron collapsed into Harry's arms. Hermione used a spell to freeze Ginny. "Trotrifficas toe talas" Harry caught Hermione's eyes as Ron continued to sob on to his shoulder. "Get Dumbledore."
Hermione ran the schools endless halls in the direction of the principals quarters. The image of Libby's lifeless eyes was still fresh in her mind. All she could think about was what if that was Harry on the floor/ She was so preoccupied that she ran straight into someone. Knocking herself to the floor, she silently prayed that it wasn't Snape. "Sorry." She mumbled and looked up to see Dumbledore standing there. "Miss Granger, what is your rush?" "An accident at Gryffindor.a murder." She said breathlessly, she couldn't hold back the tears that had been threatening to fall since she had first seen Libby any more. They flowed freely. Dumbledore handed her a tissue. " Show me." He said
When she returned, Ron had finished crying and had brought Libby's other half to join the rest of her. He sat silently beside her, stroking her hair lovingly, ignoring the outside world. Dumbledore stopped and looked around. With Voldermort always threatening, he was preparing for a room full of death eaters. Instead he found Ginny frozen. He shook his head and knew that she had made this brutal attack. Harry rushed over to the Headmaster. "Harry, what happened here?" "I'm guessing that Libby and Ginny were duelling, and Libby lost sir." "Then why is she frozen?" Dumbledore gestured toward Ginny. " I heard a scream and went to investigate sir, and Ginny threw that axe at me. Hermione had followed me and hexed her." Dumbledore sat beside Ron. "Ron can you please come with me?" Ron stared into Libby's face. "We were going to get married you know, me and Libby. Get married, have 2 kids then send them here to watch them go through Hogwarts" A fresh tear fell from his eye. " Now the last thing we will ever do together will be her funeral." He looked over at Ginny's lifeless form. Slowly he got up and walked over to her. When he reached her frozen body he hit it again and again, and when she fell, he kicked her. Dumbledore looked at Harry. Carefully Harry went to Ron and pulled him away from Ginny. Ron looked at Harry. "Libby's really dead, isn't she Harry?" he asked. Harry nodded. "Yep, she is. But you will never forget the time you did have together." Ron nodded and kicked Ginny one more time before returning to Gryffindor tower, muttering to himself. Harry wiped a stray tear from his eye and looked at Ginny. "Maybe we should get rid of this." He turned to Libby and looked at her and for a moment she looked just like Jennifer. Harry swallowed deeply and sighed. " Maybe I should go see Jennifer." Hermione tried to reach for his hand, but Harry ignored her and took the stairs to Ravenclaws common room. Dumbledore turned to the rest of Gryffindor's and directed them to take Ginny to his office and guard her. Carefully Dumbledore magically created a stretcher and placed Libby carefully on it. "Go to Hagrid." He directed it and magiced a note to go with her. Dumbledore turned to the other Gryffindor. "Go inside. Classes are cancelled for today." And he returned to his office to call the Weasley's.
Harry took a deep breath then knocked hard on the door. He heard the faint sound of feet rushing toward the door. When it opened Harry came face to face with Jennifer Jennifer was dressed in black satin pyjama bottoms and a light blue singlet top. She stood in the doorway, one hand casually on the frame. She smiled when she saw that it was Harry. "What's up?" she asked. "I need to speak with you privately/" Jennifer nodded and led the way to her own private room.
Jennifer sat on her bed and rubbed the spot beside her. Smiling she brushed her hair out of the way so she could see Harry properly. " What do you want to speak about?" She lent in close and Harry could feel her breath on his face. He tried to remember why he was there. Jennifer pushed him playfully onto the bed and straddled him. She kissed him passionately and rocked her hips against his. He couldn't help but go along with it, somewhere at the back of his mind he remembered something about Libby, but couldn't quite grasp it. 'If it was important, you would have remembered.' He told himself and reached up and removed Jennifer's top. She moaned as he sat up and rubbed her nipples and sucked each one individually. Slowly she removed his robes and pushed him back onto his back, smiling. She rubbed her body along his and gently kissed his hard penis. Jennifer felt the shivers go up his spine and she smiled again. Suddenly she stopped and got off Harry. "What? What's wrong?" Harry asked. "I can't." she said and put her top back on. "I'm sorry." She muttered. "Jennifer, talk to me." Harry insisted. " I can't explain it Harry. I know that you're with Hermione ok. And as much as I hate her, I can't do this to her." Harry shook his head. " But you did when I was with Ginny.why now." "I never slept with you Harry. And I want to so bad, but I can't. Please leave." Just as Harry put his clothes back on he turned to Jennifer again. Suddenly she fell to the floor. Across her stomach was a huge bloody mark. Harry rushed to her. Jennifer turned to him and whispered, " Harry, stay with me. Don't take me to the nurse" before she fainted. Harry held her hand and waited.
After what seemed like forever, Jennifer woke up. She looked up at Harry who was watching her intently. "Thanks for not taking me to the hospital wing." She murmured as she tried to sit up. Harry rushed to her side, and forced her to lie down again. "No, lay down for a moment. What was that all about Jennifer? You scared me." He confessed. Jennifer smiled weakly. "You came here to tell me something. Was it about Libby?" Harry averted his gaze. While he had been waiting for Jennifer to wake up, he had remembered why he had come in the first place. He nodded. A single tear fell from her eye. " I know. I felt her Harry. I could feel my sister die." Harry sat beside her. "But how." Jennifer looked past Harry. "Our families are big when it comes to cross breeding. There is a little bit of everything in us. Vampire, troll, witch, you name it, and I bet we have it in our bloodline some where. Some things get carried, like with the vampire I like my meat rare. I love the taste of blood. It's just a part of who we are. And somewhere we have this thing that causes me and Libby to feel whatever the other person is doing. I have had some very pleasurable nights lately." Harry blushed. "But I can also feel pain. And just then I felt the most terrible pain you could ever imagine." Again the tears fell and this time Harry lifted her into him arms and hugged her. Jennifer smiled. "You're the first person that I have ever told that too, and they didn't run screaming." Harry kissed her softly. "Don't worry. I know it feels to be stared at, to be made fun of, and don't think any human being deserves that." Jennifer nodded. "How did she die?" Harry too a deep breath. "Ginny did it. I don't think she was in much pain. They were duelling in the hall way, and Ginny.Ginny killed her." Jennifer nodded and rubbed the fading mark on her stomach. Harry cleared his throat. "Do you have any one you need to call?" Jennifer shook her head. "Not even your parents?" he asked surprised. Harry felt Jennifer shiver and a look of hate and pain crossed her features "Sorry, I shouldn't have said anything." "NO, why not think that I have parents that love me? An over protective father that won't even let me talk to boys, why shouldn't you even think that I have a loving family some where with a beautiful house and a white picket fence?" She looked at Harry. " Not everyone has the chance to." Suddenly Jennifer realised who she was talking to. "Oh. Harry, I'm so sorry I forgot about." Harry just nodded. "It's ok. You're angry and upset." Jennifer turned away from him. "I just want to be alone." She said. Harry nodded. "I'm here is you need to talk ok. You know that right?" Jennifer nodded and fell asleep.
Harry returned to Gryffindor tower, trying to push the images of Jennifer's naked body. 'Her sister has just died.' He told himself, mentally hitting himself. When Neville came rushing out. "Harry! You have to hurry. It's Ron.his gone crazy." Harry ran with Neville close behind.
Harry burst into the common room to find Ron holding his wand out towards the rest of the Gryffindor's. Hermione rushed to Harry's side. "His been like this since you left." She whispered. "His threatened to kill us all." Harry looked Hermione in the eyes. "I love you Hermione." He whispered. "No. Harry, don't do this. This is not a time for goodbyes. I need you to much for you to leave me." "Harry hugged her. "I just want you to know just in case.well, just in case something happens to me." Harry looked at his best friend. "His just hurting after loosing Libby. I'm going to try and calm him. I want you to take the Gryffindor's out and don't come back in until I come and get you. Ok?" Hermione nodded. Harry reached out and pushed a piece of stray hair away from her face and let his fingers stay on her skin for a moment longer then necessary. "Come back to me Harry." She whispered "I will." Harry promised and drew her in for a slow, passionate kiss. "I promise."
Slowly Harry turned to face his best friend.
Hermione smiled. "I love you too Harry."
A loud scream erupted from out side the Gryffindor tower. Harry let go of Hermione and raced out of the room, his wand held infront of him.
