Chapter seven: Getting Even
I gave the password into the stone gargoyle and the spiralling staircase appeared. I hopped on as it made its way up to Dumbledor's office. I knocked on the door as fresh tears started to form in my eyes.
"Come in Miss Granger!"
How does he know its me? I burst through the door, shut it behind me and stared to tell him everything, in between sobs.
"Professor, Harry, dead, nothing, I, could, do!"
I sat down on the chair and buried my face in my hands, still crying.
"Miss Granger, relax, I know everything"
"How can I relax, my boyfriend has just been killed, and how do you know everything?" I said looking up at him.
The twinkle in his eye's shining brighter than ever.
"We will get Mr Potter back"
"How are we supposed to do that? I mean he's just been killed by Lucius Malfoy while Draco just stood there and watched!"
"I seem to remember a certain device that you used to get to all of your classes in third year, do you remember it?"
"How could I forget it!" I said half smiling at the thought that I was going to get Harry back. "I wear it around my neck all the time, I never take it off!"
I turned to walk out of the room but stopped as I reached out for the handle. I turned around and looked him in the eye.
"Professor, what exactly am I supposed to do to Lucius Malfoy, when I get there and what if the past Harry and Hermione see me?"
"That's were I come in"
"What do you mean?"
He stood up from behind his desk and walked over to me.
"Harry's not the only one with an invisibility cloak" he said and winked at me, I could feel a smile spreading on my face.
He walked over to the cupboard behind his desk, and unlocked it, he took out the cloak and shut the cupboard, before walking back over to me.
"This is what we will do, we will both turn back the time to the point were you have just awoken this morning, as you talk to Harry and get dressed, we will go straight to the room you were both in when Harry was killed"
"Then what?"
"You will find out once we get there don't worry"
"O.k."
As Dumbledor placed the cloak over us so that we were completely covered, I took the time turner from around my neck, and set it back to this morning as I was just waking up.
"Ready?" asked Dumbledor.
"Ready" I said, and pressed the button on the time turner.
Suddenly a whir of colour and images surrounded us. We were spinning around in circles as time re-traced its steps. Eventually, we calm to a halt. As soon as we did, I opened the door and together we walked as fast as we could up to the empty classroom that Malfoy and I used to meet in. I opened the door and together we went in. We shut the door behind us and walked to the back of the room, silently waiting for Lucius and Draco to show. After ten minutes the door finally creaked open again, and there they were. I tried to lunge forward at them but Dumbledor stopped me and shook his head. We waited for them to leave the door slightly open, as it had been when me and Harry arrived here a few hours ago, and then revealed ourselves.
"Good morning Lucius, Draco" said Dumbledor, slowly approaching them, with me right behind him.
"Albus, what are you doing here?"
"I believe, that your son has been harming one of my favourite students"
That was my queue to step out from behind him, I moved to the side of Dumbledor with a smug grin on my face, as Malfoy just sneered at me as usual.
"You cant possibly believe that filthy Mudblood, over my pureblood son can you?"
"Yes I can, and as from this day forward, Draco Malfoy is suspended for a month, he is to leave with you, Lucius, right now, and I shall send him a letter when he is able to return to school"
Lucius just sneered at Dumbledor, just like he had done at me. He took one last look at the both of us before leaving, dragging Draco along with him.
"We did it, we did it!" I shouted as I smiled up at Dumbledor.
"We certainly did, Miss Granger, we certainly did" said Dumbledor as he smiled back at me.
Suddenly I stopped and stood still, footsteps and voices were approaching. It was the past Harry and Hermione.
"Now what are we going to do?"
"Not to worry Miss Granger"
Dumbledor took out his own wand and muttered a spell, and suddenly a piece of white paper appeared and floated in the middle of the room. He put his wand back and pulled the invisibility cloak back over us.
"Professor, when the time changes back to normal in a moment, will I know that any of this has happened I mean, with you and the Malfoy's?"
"Certainly, Miss Granger, but you are not allowed to breath one word of this to anyone, not even Harry, do you understand?"
"Yes, professor, and thank you"
"Your quite welcome Miss Granger"
I smiled up at him once more as we waited silently for the other Harry and Hermione to come into the room and read the note. Once they had read it, the colours and objects surrounding us began to whir and spin once more into a blur and before I knew it, I was standing next to Harry as he re-read the again. Dumbledor was gone and so was the cloak. As Harry read the note I turned towards him and threw my arms around his neck, just thankful that he was alive. He stumbled backwards slightly at first but soon returned the hug. As I pulled away, he gave me a puzzled look.
"What was that for?"
"For just being you, that's all" he smiled at me and then hugged me again.
I took the note of him to read, and was a bit surprised when I saw what Dumbledor had written on it when he cast the spell a few moments ago.
'Dear Harry and Hermione,
As I was walking around the school late last night, I happened to stumble across this locked room. As I entered it I noticed that lying on the floor in the full body bind was none other than Draco Malfoy. I took him up to the hospital wing and had Madam Pomfrey give him some truth potion to find out exactly what happened. Eventually I got every last detail and he has now been suspended for a month. I would prefer it if you didn't tell anyone about this, as I'm sure that Hermione, and you yourself Harry, wouldn't want the whole school to know what happened between Miss Granger and Mr Malfoy. I thank you for locking the door and putting the full body bind on him otherwise, who knows what could have happened.
Sincerely Yours
Albus Dumbledor
I put the note inside my pocket and together we walked hand in hand up to Gryffindor Tower. With only me knowing what really had happened here, and for realising just how much I love Harry and just how much he means to me.
