Chapter 12: A Dream
Harry stood in the corner of a dark room with two other figures in it. One was tall and thin and the other was hunched on the ground in pain.
"Now tell me what is it, girl?" a high cold voice shrieked as it stood over the cowering figure.
"I'll never talk!" she said, though her voice was strained.
"Oh really?" His voice was quiet, cold and menacing. He held up his wand and shouted, "Crucio!"
The girl twisted on the ground, screaming in pain as the curse hit her with its full power.
"Stop!" Harry shouted, but his voice was not heard. He knew he needed to stop him from hurting her. He needed to save her.
"I'm losing my patience! Tell me what is it you filthy mudblood!" the voice shrieked.
Harry saw Hermione draw herself off the floor as though trying to stand up against the pain. "I won't tell you."
"Crucio!" he yelled again and she fell to the ground twitching and screaming in agony.
"Hermione!" Harry shouted, but he was being pulled away. The picture was getting bleary and he couldn't stay put. What was happening?
"Harry? Harry!"
Harry heard a voice in the distance and felt himself being shaken, but he ignored it. He needed to save her. He couldn't let her die; she was his best friend!
"Harry! Harry!" Ron's voice broke through the haziness once more and Harry's eyes flew open, but only after seeing a pair of dark eyes.
"Ron!" Harry gasped. He was out of breath, but he didn't care. He forced himself to stand up and pull on his cloak.
"Harry, what are you doing?" Ron asked looking bewildered.
"Ron! Voldemort has got Hermione! He's torturing her! We've got to do something!"
"Slow down, Harry!" Ron said grasping Harry by the shoulders and forcing him to stand still. He was, in fact, bigger than him. "What are you talking about?"
"I'm telling you, Voldemort has Hermione! He's torturing her! We've got to do something!"
Ron held onto Harry's shoulders even firmer. "Harry, mate, you're not making sense! How do you know this?"
"I saw it, in the way I saw your dad! Come on there isn't enough time we've got to do something!"
"Harry! How do you know this isn't a trick?"
Harry stopped. Ron had a point. What if this was all a trick like Sirius had been and he ended up getting someone killed, again. Harry had to think fast, but his scar was killing him.
"Wait here!" he said grasping one of the Tickling Tizzies off his nightstand. Hastily he stuck his wand in the center of it and whispered, "Hermione Granger."
The flames stayed green and there was no reaction. The meant that Hermione wasn't there at Hogwarts, but that she was somewhere else.
"Do you believe me?" Harry said in panic. "She's not here!"
"Maybe we should go see Dumbledore," Ron said his voice cracking slightly.
"There isn't time Ron! She's in trouble now!"
"Harry! Where is she?" Ron said shaking Harry's shoulders.
Harry thought back to the dream he had had, but couldn't remember where it had been. He had been so focused on Hermione's pain.
"I…I don't know!" Harry said hitting his head in frustration. (A/N: I do that a lot!) It was a miracle they hadn't woken up the other boys with all the noise they were making. "I can't remember!"
Harry expected Ron to yell at him, but he didn't he dropped his arms to his sides and said in the quietest voice possible, "Harry, you've got to. Hermione is in danger and we have to save her! You're the only one who can!"
"I know, I know!" He stretched his mind further until he could picture the dream clearly. He had been in a dark room and it was rather dirty, almost as if nobody had been there for years. It looked rather secret too, as though not many people knew the way in. Then it hit him.
"Ron," he almost shouted. "They're in the Shrieking Shack!"
Ron was hastily pulling on his cloak and shoes. He grabbed his wand off the nightstand and began to rummage through Harry's trunk.
"What are you doing?" Harry asked him getting rather aggravated.
"Getting the cloak," Ron hissed back and holding up the silvery invisibility cloak. "We can't risk being seen."
Now it was Harry's turn to be apprehensive. What if Ron was hurt in the process of this escapade? What if Hermione was actually fine and they were jumping to conclusions? Then he made up his mind. Ron couldn't come with him. He didn't want him to get hurt.
"Ron, I think you should stay here," he said firmly.
Ron stared at him angrily. "Have you gone mad?" he hissed. "There is no way you are leaving me here when Hermione is in mortal danger! I'm coming with you."
"But Ron, I can't risk the both of you dying!" he whispered in panic.
"And I can't risk not being able to help save her life. Harry she could die never knowing…" He took a deep breath. "I'm coming with you."
Harry stared at his best friend, unable to read him. It was almost insane what Ron was doing, but in some strange twisted way it made perfect sense. What if it had been Ginny in Hermione's place? Just the thought of it made his stomach turn. It was only now that he realized if they lost Hermione how much it would kill Ron, as well. Not only would he be losing his best friend he would also be losing the girl he loved.
"Alright," he said swiftly and they walked out of the dormitory leaving the sleeping boys behind them. (A/N: They must be really heavy sleepers!)
As they pushed the portrait hole open Harry and Ron slipped under the cloak, Ron ducking a bit so that his feet were not seen underneath the edge. They hurried past many sleeping suits of armor, and few ghosts that were floating aimlessly through the castle. When they finally reached the grounds they looked at the tree. It was still and eerie. It looked like it never had moved in its life, but Harry knew better.
Hastily he grabbed a branch from the ground and prodded the knot with it. Harry looked at Ron and saw him nod. There was no turning back now.
Harry took a deep breath and they walked towards the tree and squeezed themselves into the secret passageway.
A/N: Anyone want some chocolate sauce to go with that cliff hanger? I know I would, but for some reason I don't think I need anymore suger right now...:)
I bet you are all dying to know the results of the button question! So here they are! 5 people responded and the results are 3 blues (or blueish or something of the sort) and 2 purples! I think it's lavender or sky blue myself!
Now I decided it would be kind of fun to have a little poll question for the rest of the chapters but you don't have to answer if you don't want to. I just thought it would be somthing fun to do with my time! The questions is: SINCE WHICH BOOK HAVE YOU BEEN AN R/H SHIPPER, IF YOU ARE ONE? Thanx and answer if you want to! :)
