He's not dead
Chapter 4
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
"I wonder why he never signs them" Harry thought out loud. "What are you talking about?" asked Hermione
"Huh?" Harry forgot she was even in the room "Oh Sirius, he sent me a letter and didn't sign it. He's been doing it lately, probably incase anyone is trying to intercept the letters. Yeah that's it, yeah; he doesn't want anyone else to know that he didn't die... yeah." Harry was talking more to himself than he was to Hermione.
During the next week, Harry spent most of his time alone than with Hermione. He would be found in a dark corner in the common room muttering to himself, about god knows what. Not even the Creevey brothers would go near him. (They were the few that stayed in the school) Hermione was starting to get a little worried. He wouldn't talk to her at all, pushed everybody away.
Finally when the holidays were over and Ron returned she told him everything that happened.
"Did you tell Dumbledore?" Ron asked equally concerned. "No, and I don't think we should just yet. I want to see what is going to happen." "Mione? Are you ok?" "Sure I am, why do you ask?" "Well for one, this isn't you. You're usually the one suggesting telling Dumbledore, and the first one to tell him, even when unnecessary. What's with you?" "Nothing!" snapped Hermione, "What's with the third degree? I don't thin we should tell Dumbledore yet OKAY!?!?!?"
Ron was taken aback but reluctantly agreed not to tell Dumbledore
Ron and Hermione reached the Gryffindor tower, well fed and ready for bed. (a/n Haha, fed and bed rhyme.. haha). As they entered the common room, they saw their fellow team mates chatting happily about their holiday. What they got, where they went, who they saw.
Everyone was staying away from the far corner of the common room though. It was dark, and there was a creepy boy sitting there, mumbling to him self.
Ron elbowed Hermione, who was looking around the room as if she's never seen it before, and pointed at the shadowy character.
"Who's that?" asked Ron
"Huh?" said Hermione not paying any attention to where Ron was pointing.
"Over there, who is that?"
Hermione looked at the corner where the shadowy character was sitting, now rocking back and forth.
"Oh, that's Harry. I told you, he hasn't been himself; he's been like that since Christmas. Oh yeah I forgot to tell you, don't get too close to him with the pendant on. If you get too close, something happens."
Ron nodded and walked up to Harry.
Harry was still rocking back and forth and mumbling something when Ron approached him. His hair was messier than it usually was, he had dark circles around his eye, and he was skinner than usual, as if he hadn't slept or ate in three week. Not to mention the odor coming from him, apparently he hasn't showered either.
"Harry?" said Ron cautiously.
Harry looked up to see who talked to him than looked back down still mumbling.
"Harry? It's me. Ron, you're best mate. Are you alright?"
Than came a voice that Ron didn't recognize.
"I know who you are" said the voice," and I know what you want."
Ron realized that the voice was emitting from Harry, but it wasn't Harry's voice.
"What do you mean 'I know what you want?'?" Harry smiled wickedly.
"You know, I'm not giving you the pendant. It's mine. It was a present from the only person who cares about me, my godfather. He's alive, he's not dead, he's alive, he's not dead.You're a fool Ronald Weasley. You have no idea what you're up against."
Harry stopped talking and stared at the floor. Totally lost to what he was doing and saying.
Ron looked at his friend with concern in his face, but didn't say anything; he just got up and walked over to the extremely comfortable couch in front of the fire, where Hermione was already seated, staring into the fire.
"Mione, MIONE! HERMIONE!" Ron had to yell in her ear to make her snap back to reality.
"Huh? Oh hey Ron, I was just thinking."
"Mione, what's gotten into you lately? I go away for a couple of weeks and I come back to find that my two best friends have lost their minds. Please tell me there's a bit of sanity left in you."
"I know I haven't been myself lately, I've been a little edgy, and I'm staring into space a lot. I told you it's the pendant, you touch it and something weird happens to you."
"What do you mean?"
"During the holiday, Harry became well.like this, I went up to him to see what's wrong. Than I saw the pendant, like I said before it's a cursed pendant. I did see it in a book I read, called 'Cursed Pendants' (a/n yeah I know corny title, but hey I don't feel like coming up with a really good one) I did the stupidest thing of touching it. It's ok if you get close to him, but you can't touch the pendant. Anyway, when I held the pendant in my hands it immediatly became warm and I had these thoughts rush into my head. I can't really explain it, but it's not good. Thankfully the effects are wearing off, since I don't have it. The stages are what I'm going through so they can wear off permanently. But with Harry since he wears the thing and never takes it off is going to stay like this until he takes it off, than he'll go back to normal, or is supposed to."
Ron nodded taking in everything that Hermione said and made a mental note NOT to touch the pendant.
"By the way, what did he say to you when you went up to him?"
Ron looked at Harry and than back to Hermione.
"He said he knew what I wanted, and I wanted to get the pendant away from him, and that I have no idea what I'm getting myself into, than he started staring at the ground. But I have no idea what he was talking about when he said that. What do you think?"
When he didn't get an answer, he looked over at Hermione.
"Mione?" she was once again staring into the fire.
"Hopeless" said Ron. "At least she won't be like this for long."
Ron leaned back on the couch he was sitting on and thought about what Harry told him, wondering what it meant.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
A/N: Yay, I think this one is pretty good. Did you notice that the "symptoms" happening to Hermione are almost the same as PMS? Haha I just noticed that.
Review peeze!
Fawn
