CHAPTER 11!!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Harry quietly crept into Hermione's room, to find her sitting up in bed awake. Walking closer he noticed she was breathing hard, and was clutching the comforter tightly to her chest.
"Are you okay Herm?" Harry asked trying not to scare her.
She looked up shocked at first that he was there, but didn't give any response to his question. Realizing that she probably had a nightmare, he cautiously walked over to her and pulled her into a tight embrace, trying to soothe her, so she wouldn't be as scared.
"Did you have a bad dream?" Harry asked softly.
Hermione nodded, tightening her hold on him.
"It was awful…" she said below a whisper.
"It was just a dream…"
"But it seemed so real."
"Care to tell me about it?"
Hermione pulled back out of their hug, and brushed her damp hair out of her eyes, but didn't meet Harry's gaze. After a moment, she answered.
"I… I… don't remember… I just woke up shaking, and there was just this feeling of panic I couldn't get to go away… Then I noticed you were gone… and…I thought that it was just a dream that you came back..."
Harry smiled at her while fondly pushing her loose hair behind her ears then started stroking her cheek lightly. Hermione shivered at the faint touch, but immediately relaxed.
Noticing that she had started breathing normally, Harry withdrew his hand from Hermione's cheek and climbed under the covers and lay down next to her.
"Harry, it is nearly 3:30 in the morning, where were you?" she asked as he wrapped his arms around her again.
"Talking with Sirius."
"About?"
"My mum and dad."
"Oh." She answered sleepily and snuggled deeper into Harry's grasp and soon fell asleep. Harry smiled down at his wife and held her closer allowing him-self to drift into a dreamless slumber.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Where is Harry and Hermione?" Ron asked pacing the floor in front of the group of people supposed to be leaving for the Auror Hideout. They were all gathered in a clearing on the outskirts of Hogsmeade, so they would have no problem Apparating.
"Probably off snogging." Fred said offhandedly.
Ron groaned.
"What? don't you do that with your wife?"
Ron just glared at him.
"Fred, Ikle Ronnikins doesn't have a wife, remember?" George reminded his twin.
"Oh that's right, my sincerest apologies."
Ron sighed inwardly, trying to ignore his older brothers' teasing. He glanced over at Lavender, to see her laughing with Ginny, probably not even noticing that their relationship was the main source of jokes anymore.
After awhile, the Weasley Twins gave up on Ron, and started playing a game of exploding snaps, for old times sake, with their wives.
'Where could Harry and Herm be?' Ron asked himself, 'Surely Harry knows how important this is, maybe they are still asleep… But didn't they go to bed before anyone else? Or at least to Hermione's room… ugh I don't want to think of that.'
Right when Ron was about head out to look for the couple, they walked into the clearing.
"'Bout time you two showed up, where were you guys?" Ron asked while moving over to them.
"We were up late last night."
"Ugh, I don't want to hear about it."
Hermione took it upon herself to smack him on the back of the head.
"Harry was talking to Sirius, and I was having trouble sleeping is all."
"Right."
Harry just rolled his eyes, and then changed the topic quickly to their order of business.
"Anyway, we need to head on there, it is just now half past eleven, and we have to be there by noon."
"So? Aren't we just Apparating there?" Ron asked.
"Yea…"
"So we should have more time… it takes just a second to Apparate there"
"Ron's right, but I believe I haven't actually said Hi to you Harry," George said coming up to the young man and giving him a short hug in greeting. Fred soon came up and did the same.
"Hey Harry, hope you've been well?"
"Jeez, Fred, George, its been a long time." Harry said not looking them straight in the eye. The last time they saw each other, they didn't exactly get along, and ended up in a huge fight; Harry still felt bad from what happened.
"Still mad about what happened?" Fred asked.
"No, I'm not mad…"
"Then what's wrong?" George inquired, "We have gotten over that, 'aven't we Fred?"
"Yup, sure have."
Harry smiled, "Yea, I just feel…"
"Dunderheadish?" George supplied, "Yea, we know what you mean."
"That wasn't quite the word I was going to pick." Harry said grinning.
"Oh, but it was the only word that fit you see." Fred responded.
"How long has it been since we last talked?" Harry asked.
"Oh, I don't know… a couple of seconds?"
Harry rolled his eyes, "You know what I meant."
"True. It's been… too long. You wouldn't even talk to us at your wedding."
"And it happened at your guys' wedding… so that was… a year ago?"
"Yea, why are we talking about this? We need to go." Fred said looking at his watch.
"True, it is… Fifteen till? Eep… lets go."
"Aren't we just going to Apparate?" Ron asked again.
"Partly, we also have a small walk, lets go, you all know where we are Apparating to, right?"
There was a murmur of yes's.
"Good."
Suddenly the air was filled with small popping noises, as the group of young adults seemingly disappeared into thin air. But before Hermione could Apparate, Harry put a hand on her shoulder stopping her.
"What is it Harry?"
"Are you positive you want to go?"
"Yes, you can't talk me out of it."
"I wasn't going to try… just your dream…"
"Its not going to help me to not go… it would probably be worse."
Harry sighed, "Okay… lets just go then."
Hermione smiled and gave Harry a quick kiss.
"Everything will be fine." She said reassuringly. He just nodded and then the last two remaining wizards vanished without a trace. (A/N - I know that Hermione is TECHNICALLY a witch, but it didn't fit… lol)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Harry, don't you get it? She isn't going to stay… no matter how many times beg her to." Ron informed Harry, once the pair appeared. Harry rolled his eyes.
"I wasn't begging her to…"
"Whatever." Ron remarked grinning, "now, where are we 'walking' to?"
"Just follow me." Harry announced to the small group.
Harry and Hermione then took the lead, fingers intertwined, the rest followed mixed between themselves.
It took a matter of a couple of minutes before Harry held his hand up to the crowd, and placed a finger to his lips. The young adults immediately became quiet, while Harry muttered something at a peculiar tree. Before the cluster of witches and wizards could blink, they found themselves in a bright, circular room.
"This." Harry said in a slow, steady voice, "is the Auror base near Bristol."
