Return To Me
Chapter 3
Hermione awoke to a million thoughts that morning; all of them revolving around: 'Harry is leaving.' The man she loved was leaving her. Every time she thought about this, tears would come out and today was no exception. She despised Voldemort, never had she hated him so much until now. Who did he think he was, making Harry, Ron, and Draco leave just so he could settle a personal grudge? Honestly, the world didn't revolve around him. At that moment, she was so immersed in her thoughts and the many tears running down her face that she didn't notice Harry move as he opened his eyes. Hermione tried to look away in an attempt to hide her tears, but it was too late. He gathered her into his arms and held her there, just rocking her back and forth. Just the feeling of his warmth made her want to cry even more.
"I can't lose you Harry! I wouldn't be able to live with myself if.something were to happen to you," she sobbed as the words escaped her mouth. Harry's eyes were starting to glisten with tears as well.
"Shh Mione, I'm here now and I'll come back. I promise." He kissed her forehead and held her tighter in his embrace.
Once he had gotten Hermione back to sleep, Harry slowly crawled out of bed and into the bathroom to shower. Not long after entering (feeling?) the hot water, his scar began to sear with pain. His pupils dilated as he collapsed against the floor of the bathtub. * * * * * * *
"Wormtail, I've been waiting so long for this moment," the dark figure said aloud, "I will finally have my revenge and Potter and his stupid army will be no match for me."
"Oh yes Sir, you will," a short-stout figure replied.
"I have the perfect plan to bring him to me. His stupid Mudblood girlfriend.."
* * * * * * *
"Harry, Harry please wake up!" Hermione's worried voice called him.
When he finally opened his eyes, he noticed that there was a huge bump on the back of his head. He was propped up against the sink while Hermione put a cold washcloth on his forehead, apparently in an attempt to wake him up.
"Voldermort has a plan," he muttered, " Hermione I need to speak to Dumbledore, will you fetch him for me love?"
Hermione nodded and dashed out the door, running all the way to Dumbledore's office.
* * * * * * *
She burst through the door of the Headmaster's office completely out of breath.
"Ah. Miss Gran. Mrs. Potter, good morning," Dumbledore greeted with shinning eyes. Hermione nodded to him, still catching her breath.
"Its Harry Sir; he was in the shower and blacked out. He said something about Voldemort."
"Thank you for coming to me. I believe you have the fireplace connected to the Floo network if I'm not mistaken?" he asked.
"Yes sir."
"Very good. I'm sure Mr. Weasley would like to be with the two of you when Harry explains this. I will meet you in your room." With that, he stepped into the fireplace and landed with a thud in Harry's bedroom.
* * * * * * *
Harry was writing in the "Dream Journal" that Sirius had given to him to keep track of all of the dreams Voldemort had sent him when Dumbledoor arrived. The professor sat on a chair and cleared his throat in order for Harry to notice his arrival. Not long after Dumbledore arrived, Hermione and Ron come through the door.
Ron sat on Harry's bed while Hermione sat on hers. Harry finished writing about the dream, and walked over to Hermione, taking a seat close to her and wrapping his arms around her.
"He is going to use my worst fear against me. The one thing that I would die to save. Professor. He's figured out how to beat me," he whispered in a hoarse voice.
Everyone starred at him for a moment.
"And what is that Harry?" Dumbledore asked, breaking the silence. Harry looked into his fiancé's eyes.
"My worst fear is having you taken away from me," he whispered to her.
Hermione's cheeks turned a slight shade of red and soon tears were running down her face once more. Dumbledore smiled at the newly engaged couple.
"Yes, I had a feeling you were going to say that. Don't worry Harry, I have placed many protection charms on this castle, on these rooms, and on Miss Granger as well."
Hermione looked up at him, slightly confused.
"Yes Miss Granger, you as well as Mr. Weasley have had protection charms placed on you since the minute I found out how close you had become with Mr. Potter back in your first year. You have had protection wards on your homes, your bedrooms, and on yourselves. Please, do not be upset. It was for a safety precaution. And finding out about this new plan, I am very glad I had these charms placed so long ago," Dumbledore said calmly.
Ron and Hermione looked at each other and then back at Dumbledore. Harry kept his arms around Hermione while the Headmaster explained his plan.
"Those of us planning to defeat Voldemort will be leaving the day after Christmas. This means we have two days to make sure Miss Granger's protection charms are increased. We will keep her safe Harry, I give you my word."
