A/N: last time we left them, Harry was hanging in the air, Hermione was in
deep trouble, Percy was the robber and very evil indeed. Hermione's parents
were locked inside their room and their daughter being overpowered.
------------------- Chapter Fife An unwilling victim -------------------
Harry's eyes started to sting and the tears to form from his eyes, watching Percy drag Hermione into the living room to where he hung. Unable to do anything but kick, punch, scream and watch.
Hermione tried her best to break free from Percy's grip, but to no avail. His grip on her arm was just too tight. As Percy pulled her into the room her eyes met Harry's. All the things exchanged between them in that moment nobody may ever know. But suddenly they both felt content. Content with whom they were and a blinding realization came over them. They now understood everything. They now understood why they knew when they needed each other. When they were in trouble, like tonight.
It was their sixth year and Voldemort had come back, more powerful than ever. It was that year that changed their life in such a big way. The only problem was that it took them till now to figure out in just what way it all changed.
It was then when Dumbledore's wise words really became wise and his age really began to show. He said and neither one will ever forget his words; he said "we are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided. Keep these words with you over the coming months; they will help you more than you may know now. But trust me we need to all stand together. Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws, Gryffindors and Slytherins. Pure blood and muggle born. We will all need each other, and yes even I will need you. So I plead to you don't forget my words not now not ever. You are only as strong as you are united, as weak as you are divided. Stand together." That was his words and neither will forget.
It was only near the end of the year that they really understood what he meant by that. They stood together and won, but not before they were dumb enough to try and fight divided. Harry didn't want to listen to Hermione when she said they should stand together. He said it was his fight, but that night it became their fight. Voldemort had nearly killed Harry that night, but Hermione stood in the way. Hermione had figured out what Dumbledore meant by standing together.
The one thing Voldemort didn't understand was love and that's the one thing that could destroy him. No one knew that, except Hermione. She had figured it out. And just as Harry was facing Voldemort, telling him to kill him, telling him they all would be better of that way. Hermione came out of the crowd, looked Harry square in the eyes and took his hand. That's when it happened. The death curse hit them and ricochets back at Voldemort destroying him once more. But what they didn't know was that, that spell bound them together forever. Giving them a bond which nothing and no one could ever break. Dumbledore knew that's what would happen. He just thought they would figure it all out a lot sooner.
Harry stopped kicking and Hermione stopped struggling. They just stared at each other. Hermione knew what she had to do and Harry knew what he had to do.
As Hermione reached into her pocket for her wand, Harry distracted Percy. "Hey Percy! "Cant you see I'm busy boy?" he replied looking at Harry just long enough for Hermione to get her wand out. "And can't you see, it's over?" "What do you mean boy?" Percy said with a slight hint of surprise in his voice. "He means the tables have turned" Hermione said raising her wand at him. "Now give me your wand." "Why would I do that?" he said with a little too much panic in his voice. "Well if you won't I will 'Accio wand'" his wand flew out of his pocket and into her hand. She pointed her wand at him and yelled "'Petrificus Totalus!'" his arms and legs clamped against him and he fell to the ground unable to do or say any thing.
"Harry..." Hermione said with a crooked smile "Hermione..." he answered "Harry what spell did he put on you? "I'm not sure, I think it was mobiliarbus." He answered with admiration in his eyes. He had forgotten all about what happened on that one night and now he was even more reminded about it. He couldn't stop thinking about it, and kept hearing Dumbledore and Hermione's voice in his head "you are only as strong as you are united, as weak as you are divided." Was this a message?
"Ok let's hope this works" Hermione said with hope in her voice. "'imobiliarbus'" It worked! Harry came floating down to the ground and landed on his feet.
"Harry! O Harry!" Hermione said in a very dramatic but genuine voice while half running over to him. She grabbed him and held him tight. "Hermione..." Harry opened his arms and hugged her back.
"Are you ok Hermione? Hid he hurt you?" he asked her while looking over her "No I think I'm fine.... how about you Harry? I was more worried about you than I was about myself!" "That's the same way I felt" he had the sudden urge to tell her about the memory he had about what Dumbledore said to them, but felt it would only bring back a lot of bad memories. "I just had to come see if you were ok and I'm glad I did come. Who knows what would have happened if I didn't." "Yeah who knows...?" "Hermione... where's your parents?" Harry suddenly asked. "I forgot about them, their in their room. I locked them in. I don't know why. It just seemed a good idea at that moment." All he could do was smile at her now. He started to realize now why he loves her or thinks he loves her. It's the bond they share... and it's all thanks to Voldemort. Hard to believe but Harry actually made a mental note to himself to thank Voldemort the next time he sees him.
A/N: so Percy is captured, Harry and Hermione are free and they found out something that may change their lives forever. Will it be a good or bad change? You'll have to read to find out!
