Dark Harry-Hermione

Chapter Thirteen

"Last Year Begins"

The Order passed the last days of holidays in the castle, ready to start another school year at Hogwarts...for many of them, that would be the last year...Hermione was chosen as Head Girl, even if she had maintained contacts with Harry...Ron should have been the Head Boy, but after his death, Seamus was chosen to replace him...but this was the last concern in Harry's mind...

After the battle, and Ron's attacks to her, Hermione wasn't well...she felt continuously sick, and nauseous...Harry, fearing for the child, owled Madame Pomfrey, who came the next day...she remained four days trying to cure her...

Finally, on the fifth morning, she went to wake up Harry, who remained all those nights near her, without sleeping, but finally gave up...when he opened his eyes, he could have sworn from the extremely sad look in her eyes, that something bad had happened...

"I'm so sorry, Harry...the baby is gone...she had a miscarriage, after all those kicks on her belly..."

Harry started to cry, in silence...when Hermione woke up, she called him, who was leaning on a near bed, and he went to her...

"Hermione...I have to give you a bad new...the baby is gone...I'm so sorry..."

"Shh...don't worry..." she whispered to him, closing his lips with a finger, then she added: "I am not sorry...I didn't want to take care of his child, Harry...after all what he did to you...to me...to us...I couldn't do that...I'm happy for having lost the child...I'm sure we can make it up, cannot we?" she said, smirking

Harry was stunned by her reaction, and hugged her, whispering to her:

"Of course we can, if you want..."

Some days later, all the group left to reach London, precisely King's Cross...it was the 1st of September, and they had to take the Express, for going to Hogwarts...

Before leaving, Harry gave some instructions to the Ringwraith:

"Be sure all the creatures will be perfectly fitted when the moment will come...and try to find out where Voldemort's whereabouts are...we cannot always entrust ourselves to the Thestrals...and finally, take care, as usual, of the castle...I hope I'll return here soon..." then he turned, ready to go to the pub in the village; suddenly, he added:

"Ah...Thank you very much for having helped us against the Order of the Phoenix..." then he left, with the others...

They reached the pub, and they flew by Floo to the "Leaky Cauldron", and from there they took the underground to reach the station; then, they crossed the barrier without problems, and Harry and the others found an awful surprise, on the bench near the train...ten Aurors were there, to catch him, and bring him to Azkaban...but the Aurors, who were all the survived Minister employees after the Death Eater attack, were as surprised as he was moments before, when the members extracted their wands, and started duelling on the bench...

The fight lasted a little, then all the members boarded on the train...all, except Harry, still engaged in a duel...the train started moving...finally, Harry stunned his opponent, and jumped on the moving train...

On the Express, the Order occupied a compartment, and started chatting, also on the trap they had escaped a little earlier...

Draco said: "How had Fudge dared sending Aurors on the bench? He should have known that we would have got rid of them quickly..."

All the others laughed at his joke, then Harry said: "However, this isn't the last word on the problem...they'll try to catch us at Hogsmeade, I guess, so, be ready to fight again..."

After some hours, and with the stomach full of sweets, Harry and the other went off the train...and they were waited...six of the Aurors that tried to catch them on the bench, were there, ready to fight again...three of them were killed before, one under the train, the other two by Draco and Hermione, while the one Harry stunned, was still lying there...

This time, Harry and the others didn't want to waste time duelling, because they were starving, although the cakes and all the other sweets on the train...so, six "Avada Kedavra!" were cast by them, and the last Aurors and Minister employees were killed...only Fudge was alive...

When the teachers entered the Great Hall, Harry saw that there were two more Order of the Phoenix members, in the staff...Hagrid, and McGonagall...but Harry didn't wanted to ruin the last year start banquet...

However, all the other students, except for the Order, were against him even stronger than before...they had heard about the battle against the Order of the Phoenix...but hearing all their shouts didn't had an effect on Harry...

Finally they finished the feast , and they went to their dorms...Hermione led to the Head Boy/Girl quarters, with Seamus...

Harry, instead, remained in the common room, reading a lot, until he started to fall asleep; so he stood up, and went to bed, in the seventh's year dorm...

"It feels odd to lie here, without that huge, bloody, filthy Weasley, who insulted me" he thought; he hated him last year, but now even more..."How can a person be so bastard to kill his own child?" he thought, falling asleep.
