I've Been Living A Lie
~* Thanks to everyone who reviewed and told me to continue, I'll try to keep this interesting, and this might be one of the last chapters, because I don't quite know where else to take this fiction. I said one of the last, so there might be three more or something like that. *~
Chapter 14 ~ Much Needed Explanations
After the whole Voldemort-somehow-appearing-in-the-Hogwarts-Grounds incident, security levels had been raised at Hogwarts. Dumbledore had strategically placed many Aurors around Hogwarts to watch out for any signs of Voldemort.
Harry had been locked in the Gryffindor Common Room, for his own protection of corse, but he hated being cooped up in the tower.
Lots of people were rushed around, and the students of Hogwarts were to be escorted to their classes by the teachers. Harry wasn't even allowed to go to class. Dumbledore was also considering cancelling classes altogether and sending everyone home. This was not a happy time.
Harry, to keep himself from being bored out of his mind, took to the books, to try and work out why, or how Voldemort had managed to appear in the Hogwarts grounds without aparating. This was a tricky problem, and may only be solved by being led to believe that Voldemort invented a spell to do so. There was no information in the books at all about how Voldemort could have possibly appeared into Hogwarts without aparating, which was impossible.
With Dumbledore back, Harry, Hermione and Ron were sure that Voldemort would not return. However, something of worry was that Voldemort did know that Hermione and Harry had switched bodies, which led them to believe that he had done it himself.
'Do you really think You-Know-Who would do that?' Hermione asked timidly.
'I think he would.' Ron said.
'Yes, he would. He probably thinks I would be weaker in your body therefore much easier to kill.' Harry said thoughtfully.
'That makes a lot of sense.' Hermione muttered.
'I think we should go ask Dumbledore how Voldemort managed to get into Hogwarts like that without aparating.' Harry said.
'That's a good idea, come on.' Ron said, walking out of the Common Room. Hermione and Harry tried to follow, however, they were stopped by some sort of force field.
'Ron! Hey Ron!' Harry called. Ron poked his head back into the Gryffindor Common Room.
'Come on, what are you guys waiting for?' Ron asked, somewhat impatiently.
'We can't leave the Gryffindor Common Room, there's some sort of spell which isn't letting us out.' Hermione explained.
'Sorry Ron, but you're going to have to go by yourself.' Harry told him.
'What? By myself?' Ron exclaimed.
'Yes, sorry Ron.' Hermione said softly.
'We just can't possibly get out! Watch.' Harry tried to walk out of the Common Room, but he was blocked by an invisible wall of some sort.
'Oh, okay, I'll just go find out what's going on now shall I?' Ron said, half sarcastic, half matter-of-factly, and he disappeared out of the Common Room, and away to Dumbledore's office.
~***~
Ron sat nervously in Dumbledore's office, as the old Professor stared at him. Ron wished that Hermione and Harry would have been able to come with him, then they would have asked all the questions, and done all the talking. However, they were not there, so Ron had to ask everything for them.
'How was Voldemort and all the others able to get into Hogwarts, when you can't aparate in the grounds?' Ron asked.
'That is a tricky question Ron. I do not know the answer myself.' Dumbledore replied.
'Okay, then how is it he knew that Hermione and Harry have switched bodies?'
'Is that what happened? Oh dear, this is not good. We must get them back into their own bodies at once!' Dumbledore cried, rushing out of his office. Ron hurried after him, and they ended up in the Library.
Something about this, Ron found strange. Dumbledore himself looking up something in the Library? Ron watched as the aged Professor searched through the shelves before he found what he was looking for.
'Ah hah!' He cried. 'Polyjuice Spell. We must get this back to Harry and Hermione.' Dumbledore said to Ron, and he rushed out of the Library. Ron followed after him once more. Panting to keep up, he was surprised at how fast the old man could run without stopping once.
They reached the Gryffindor Common Room and entered. Hermione and Harry were sitting on the armchairs infront of the fireplace when they saw Dumbledore, followed closely by a very puffed Ron. Both Harry and Hermione got to their feet.
'Why didn't you two come straight to me when you knew you were in eachother's bodies? You could have been killed if myself and the other Professors hadn't shown up when we did.' Dumbledore said crossly.
'Sorry Professor, we didn't know that Voldemort was behind it.' Harry said.
'Yeah,' Hermione added pointlessly.
'It is a complex spell which can be reversed simply.' Dumbledore said, sounding angrier at every passing moment.
'Can you reverse it please, Professor?' Hermione asked timidly. Dumbledore smiled.
'Of course I'll reverse it Miss Granger, if I didn't you and Harry would be in more danger than you already are, and I can't have that happen, can I?' Dumbledore said. 'Acinto Reversio.' Dumbledore pointed his wand first at Harry, and then at Hermione.
'What happened? I don't feel, or look any different.' Harry said, somewhat outraged.
'Ah Harry, you have to wait until tomorrow morning before you two switch back.' Dumbledore explained, and with that, he left before they could say thank you.
