Chapter 25

Hermione

Hermione entered the kitchen on the morning of January 1st, and saw Harry cooking.

"I didn't know you knew how to cook," she said sleepily.

"Yeah, well living with the dursleys taught me a few things,"

"Really, I knew they made you do yard work, but I didn't know they--- she stopped mid-sentence put a hand to her head as though she had a headache and passed out.

"Hello, could someone please tell me if she's ok?" They were at St. Mungos Hospital.

"You will be informed as soon as we know anything," the nurse said "but it appears as though she will be alright, now please go take your seat this is a hospital," angrily Harry returned to his seat.

"My question is, are you ok," said a voice from behind him, Harry turned slowly around.

Candice, Ron, Fred, George, Ginny Mrs. and Mr. Weasley stood there.

"I will be if she is," He answered. A door opened, and a healer walked through it toward Harry, and the Weasleys.

"Well, what happened?" Harry asked. the Healer sighed,

"Your friend seems to have some sort of new disease, I guess you would call it that, It slowly kills a person from the inside, as of yet there is no cure. It also seems that it was in something she ate, I'm very sorry,"

"So that's it," said Harry quietly, He would have yelled, but he knew Hermione wouldn't approve, so he held it in. "That all you have to say,"

"Well, yes." said the Healer.

"How long will she live?" Harry asked, He tried to keep calm, but he wasn't going to be able to much longer.

"I'd give her, with proper care, until May, then it just depends on how fast the sickness kills."

"Can we see her?" Harry asked unable to hold back tears.

"Yes, right through here," Harry turned to look at the shocked faces around him,

"I'd like to go in alone first, ok,"

"Yes, Harry," said Mrs. Weasley.

The Healer led Harry to Hermione's room,

"She's right in there," said the healer, and walked away, Harry entered, Hermione opened her eyes as he came in,

"Harry," she said in a voice barely above a whisper. "What's going on,"

"Hermione, I--

"Tell me, Harry I know I'm dying however slowly, please just tell me," It broke Harry's heart to tell her, but she wanted to know, and as it was about her, he told her.

A few weeks later, Hermione was allowed out of the hospital, and to return to Hogwarts.

Since the disease did not stop her from doing normal everyday things, she was allowed to return to classes. At breakfast one morning in the middle of February, Dumbledore asked Harry to come to his office, so at seven o'clock Harry made his way to the HM's office.

"Come in, Harry," said Dumbledore before Harry had even knocked, He entered.

"How did you--- Harry began.

"Never mind that, The Order of the Phoenix has come across some information, Voldemort poisoned Hermione's food at one point over the Christmas Holidays, we have also found a cure for it,"

"What is it?!" Harry asked frantically.

"For you to kill Voldemort," said Dumbledore simply.

Well, I think about 5 more Chaps and this story will be finished (Sad, isn't it) =(
