The mid day heat was signing down on the already cracked and weathered earth, the silence hung in the humid air, occasionally a snake would move along the dusty ground and maybe even a lizard. There was no breeze to speak of, and there was no water for miles.

In the distance two figures emerged over the horizon. Both men, one shaped like a giant and towering over the other and the other very thin with what seemed like a long flowing beard. As the figures got closer you could see that the giant one seemed to be wearing very big brown trousers and a shirt covered with a large jacket, even in the sweltering heat. The other was wearing robes of deepest purple and a tall pointed hat was perched on top of his head.

'Hagrid?' Asked the tall one with the one pointed hat.

'Aye Professor Dumbledore?' Replied Hagrid.

Professor Dumbledore did not reply instead he drew out his wand and pulled two chairs out of the air. The two men sat down, neither said anything. After what seemed like an age Dumbledore jumped out of his chair.

'Hagrid, we must go at once. We have been fooled. We are in the wrong place and Hogwarts is in need!'

Hagrid looked alarmed.

'We cannot use floo powder as the fireplaces at Hogwarts will be blocked; we cannot apparate in the schools grounds' Said Dumbledore, almost muttering to himself. 'There is only one way. But will it get us there soon enough…'

Hermione awoke to find herself in the same room, but she was wearing a long flowing dress of deep green that she had not been wearing before. She sat up, there was only one thing on her mind, she needed to escape.

'Hermione?'

Hermione jumped and swivelled around. In the chair next to her was Tom.

'Hermione, I know I've done some pretty awful things in my past. But, I love you, you've made me see what life is about' said Tom looked at her through deep green eyes. 'Please, please Hermione forgive me'.

Hermione gulped she did not know what to say. Here was the man that had murdered millions sitting in front of her asking for forgiveness, maybe he really was sorry.

Hermione took his hand and gazed into his eyes. She really did like him an awful lot.

'Tom, are you going to change?' She asked him.

'Yes!!! Yes, yes, yes.' He replied. 'Please believe me Hermione.'

'I' Hermione paused. 'I forgive you'.

Tom's eyes widened with joy and he grasped her hand.

'You know, we were meant to be together'.

It was Sunday tea time and Harry and Ron were at the Griffindor table eating crackers with cheese and scones with whipped cream and jam. Ron was quite happily stuffing his face whilst Harry rubbed his scar and a worried look spread into his green eyes.

'Ron?' Said Harry, Ron grunted. 'Where's Hermione?'

'Fibrary' Snuffled Ron through a mouthful of food. Harry shook is head.

'No, she's been gone for nearly two days, and I heard Lavender telling Parvarti that she hadn't spent the night in their dormitory'.

Ron looked up, a worried look appeared on his freckled face.

'We could check the hospital wing' he said, before returning to his food.

'Yeah, I think we had better' replied Harry.

Hey everyone!

As you can see I am drawing this story to a close. I do not believe that it was very successful and although I tried to ignore some of the 'not-to-nice' reviews I got it was still hurtful. I am also desperate to start another story, I have basically done the outline to it and I really want to start, however I want to finish this one first as I know if I don't I never will. I really did make some stupid mistakes on this story 'Harry crying' etc, so I guess I just want to start afresh.

Thank you to my faithful reviewers, please read my next story its going to be even better and please review the final chapters of this one!

I don't know, but you may have guessed that I am from England. As for us always getting the Harry Potter books and films before everyone else, we don't. The first premiere for POA was in New York! And as J.K. Rowling is British… I do feel sorry for my relatives in Germany 'coz they didn't get the 5th book until about 6 months after me!

Did you know that my home city is mentioned in J.K. Rowling's Quidditch through the ages? Now you do! Hehe. Well she used to live some miles away from me in her teenage years and loved my home city as she thought it was very beautiful! (Awwwww) However she hated another city near by and named 'Dudley' after it. Also my schools tie is the same tie that the Griffindors wear in the movies! Well there you go - bet you always wanted to know that! Ooooooooooh, I've just remembered summat else. Hogwarts was shot in the Cathedral of the county next to mine!

Well I'll update as soon as possible and PLEASE review my story!!! Thanks!
