******* WARNING!!! This is a really long chapter!
'Harry, Voldemort may want to kill because you, Miss Granger and Mr. Weasley have the ability to defeat him.' said Dumbledore.
'But sir, we're only kids. And he's very powerful!' said Ron.
'Ahh, Mr. Weasley, you can't see the inside from the outside. Just because Voldemort,'
Ron shudders.
'Has killed many people, doesn't mean you aren't as powerful as him. You may even be more.'
Harry was thinking a lot about this. He saw that Hermione and Ron were doing the same thing.
'Now, I will leave you to your thoughts.' said Dumbledore.
He left Harry, Hermione and Ron to talk but Ron said he had to go as well.
'Are you sure?' asked Harry.
'Yeah. I wouldn't wanna be here when you guys want to be alone.'
Hermione smiled as she blushed. Harry pretended he didn't see that.
'Ok, bye now.' and he left as well.
There was a brief silence until Harry spoke.
'Hermione, I want to tell you I've heard everything you said. From the night I had the curse till today.'
Hermione blushed. 'You heard everything?'
'Yup. Come here.' he said, smiling.
She sat next to him. He held out his hand and pulled her closer. He kissed her on the cheek. Then, out of nowhere, Hermione threw herself to Harry and she began crying again.
'Herm, it's okay. I'm really fine.'
'That's why I'm crying. I'm so happy.'
He stroked her hair and smelt it. He waited for Hermione to stop crying and then he spoke.
'Herm, I'm sorry for kissing Cho Chang. I hate myself for that. Will you ever forgive me?'
'I have, Harry. I care for you too much.'
Harry made up his mind. He was going to do it now.
'Hermione, I haven't ever told you this but...I love you. Not Cho. Not anybody else for that matter.' he stopped and took a deep breath. 'I love you Hermione Granger. Only you.'
Hermione was blushing furiously. She couldn't help the tears in her eyes fill up.
'I love you so much, Harry. No one will ever take me away from you.' she said finally.
He smiled and gave her a kiss on her forehead... or at least what he thought was her forehead. She probably moved or something because they were kissing now. Not a demanding one but a gentle compassionate kiss.
It wasn't long but since it was their second lip to lip kiss, they both smiled and hugged afterwards.
Harry felt as though he was complete for the first time. Hermione made him feel like he was walking on air.
He even forgot about his obsessed admirer until it happened. He got another letter from her.
Dear Harry, That Mudblood is just bewitching you! You can't possibly love a mudblood! You're a pure blood! If she doesn't get her hands off you, I swear, she won't need them where I'll take her...
Harry was so angry. Hermione asked him to calm down but even she couldn't stop him.
'Hermione, if anyone tries anything, I'll see to it that they'll regret it.' he said through his teeth.
'Harry, they're just probably saying it. I highly doubt anyone would do anything under Dumbledore's nose.' she said.
'Okay. But if they try anything... 'He began, but Hermione put her finger on his lips.
'You won't have to, they won't try anything.' she said with a smile.
He returned it. They entered the Great Hall. They went to Gryffindor table with Harry's hand on her waist.
They sat down and Harry got the strangest idea.
'Herm, whatever I do, just play along, alright?' he said with a grin.
She didn't know what he was about to do but she grinned back which meant 'okay'.
Harry looked around the Hall to see if anyone was looking. He saw a few people and he did something which wouldn't be called 'normal' when you're Harry Potter.
Harry made Hermione turn and look at him straight in the eye. He put his hand on both her cheeks and kissed her on the forehead in front of everyone who was watching. He smiled at her with his million dollar smile which made Hermione's heart melt. She was probably thinking Oh my gosh! He's soooo handsome!
Then, Harry looked to see if anyone was watching. He was right. Nearly all of the Great Hall was. The guys were all grinning while the girls (not all of them) had looks which said 'how sweet'.
The ones that had murderous looks were Malfoy, some Slytherin girls, Cho Chang, Ginny, Parvati and a Hufflepuff boy who Harry's never talked to.
He was glad however, to see so many people stare. That way, his secret admirer would see that he isn't bewitched, he's in love.
Harry and Hermione were laughing like crazy when they got up to the common room.
She wasn't always this wild but she found what they did absolutely hilarious.
Harry proceeded to Divination as Hermione went to Arithmancy.
He went with Ron to the North tower and up the ladder which leads to the Divination classroom.
Harry was in such a good mood that he didn't even mind the over smelling perfume. On the contrary, he found it quite good smelling.
'Are you out of your mind?' asked Ron, in disbelief.
'You haven't really appreciated the subtle smell of this classroom.' he said. Smiling, of course.
Professor Trelawney began to speak to the class now. 'Everybody can change seats today. You won't learn anything today because I will be reading you future. That is how I can correctly mark your homework.'
Ron and Harry exchanged horrified looks but then turned to nearly-going-to- snort-from-laughing looks. It was common fact that they did their Divination homework by predicting the most painful and unimaginable deaths or of near-death events of that they would suffer.
One by one Professor called them to her table. When it was Ron's turn, he left the chair next to Harry's and went to Professor Trelawney.
Out of nowhere, Parvati sat next to Harry. He didn't take notice of this and continued staring at Ron's bewildered face.
'Harry, how are you today? How are you and Hermione going? Is it going to the dogs?' she asked.
Harry continued to ignore her and stared at Ron's guilty face now.
'But Professor, that's really what I saw!'
'You're telling meme Weasley, that you saw yourself being thrown off a Hippogriff and fall straight into a muggle sewer?'
'Uh... Did I say that? I mean, yes.'
'Mr. Weasley, you are a hopeless person with no eye for the future. You may go back to your seat.' she said.
Ron went back to his seat to find Parvati staring at Harry.
'Excuse me, do you mind? This is my seat!' he told her angrily.
'Fine! Bye Harry.' she said.
Finally, Harry thought.
'Harry Potter, come up here please.' called Professor Trelawney.
He went up to her, knowing she was going to tell him that he would be dying some time soon.
Harry sat at the side of Professor Trelawney's table. She had put a seat there so students can sit at her side.
'So, may I see your homework, please?'
Harry didn't want to give it but he guessed it was better than not doing it.
After some time of checking it, she said, 'Well, Potter, it seems you will be dying at least 3 times a week. You've over done it a bit. Now, please let me concentrate so I can see what'll really happen in your near future.'
Harry rolled his eyes and let her continue.
His eyes went from her, to her table and to the class. He saw Parvati wink at him and after he shuddered, he pretended he didn't see it. He was getting impatient when, Professor Trelawney began to shake uncontrollably.
'Potter, the Dark Lord is in your future. You might not live to reach your 16th birthday.' she paused as the class, mostly girls, gasped.
'The one who follows you will reveal herself tonight!' she said.
Harry was now really clueless on how to reply. 'Uh... can I go back to my seat now?'
She nodded while looking at him with sorrowful eyes. He ignored this and sat with Ron.
The class finished without anymore predictions. Professor Trelawney said she was too exhausted to tell mark the other students. Next lesson would probably continue the same way.
Harry went down to the Great Hall with Ron and met Hermione.
He told her what Professor Trelawney said but she just tut-tutted.
'Harry, as Professor McGonagall said, Divination isn't a very good branch of magic, so I don't believe a word of what she said.'
Harry agreed to this and continued to eat his spaghetti and meat wands.
Harry went up with Hermione to their dorms and saw her to the girl's one. In 2 weeks the school would be ending and they would be riding the Hogwarts express back to London.
Harry would, unfortunately, have to spend summer vacation with the Dursleys again. He went to his four-poster bed and lied awake. It wasn't even 8 pm and Hermione wanted to sleep.
He went out again to the common room to see if Ron was there. He hasn't been seeing Ron too much lately. It's either his fault because he's always with Hermione or Ron was really busy.
Harry got to the empty common room and saw Hermione come down from the dorm.
'Harry, can you come with me to the Great Hall? I want to see something.'
'Okay. You're still awake, I see.'
'Oh, that. I couldn't sleep.'
They went down to the Great Hall and no one was there.
'Hermione, I'll be right back. I've got to go to the boys um...the little boy's room.'
She giggled. 'Yeah, sure. I'll wait for you here.'
He went to the boy's toilet and did his business. When he came out, he saw a few Slytherin girls looking at him. Harry couldn't tell from where he was standing what kind of look they were giving him but he ignored it.
e went to the entrance of the Great Hall to find that Hermione wasn't there. He waited for her.
After what seemed like and hour, Harry began to get worried. She wouldn't have just left him there all of a sudden.
He looked for her everywhere, even went inside the girl's dorm again. She was no where to be seen.
Harry asked everyone is they've seen her, they all shook their heads. Harry was about to go to Dumbledore when he heard a voice call from behind.
'Oy, Potter! I've got a message for you. It concerns you mudblood of a girlfriend.' said Malfoy. He wasn't with Crabbe or Goyle now.
Harry took him by the collar and placed him beside the wall. 'What did you do to her?' he asked angrily. His flaming eyes dead locked on Malfoy.
'Easy Potter, just read what this says and you won't have a problem.'
Harry took the letter from Malfoy's hand and let him go. Malfoy ran away and left Harry to read.
Dear Harry, I have her. She'll be dealt with by my master. Now, we can finally be together, my love! She's not there to stop you from loving me. And if, that's if, you want to say your last farewell to her, just be at the grounds after you read this. Till then my love.
Harry let it sink in slowly...They had taken Hermione. But, who were they?
***** If you can't tell, I like cliffies. It's one way I can guarantee that you'll come back, right? Here's a little hint. chapter length depends on the location of Dani's best cliffies.
***** Looks like book 5 will end within a couple of chapters! Don't cry. There's still book 6! Yay!
***** If I don't get more reviews, Dani might NOT let me post book 6. You guys better review and tell me to post book 6!!!
