Chapter 22
"Harry, Hermione, Draco you must get to the Dursley's house immediately, Voldemort and his Death Eaters are coming for them, and if the Dursley's are killed, your mothers magic will be weakened, or destroyed!" Dumbledore said before grabbing a golden paper weight off of his desk to make a portkey.
"Here, take this, I have made it a return portkey as well to Grimmauld Place. You are to go to the Dursley's and stay there until Voldemort decides to come. Then I want you to hold them off as long as possible. Keep the Dursley's safe, though. The Order will be on their way immediately to ward off Death Eaters, it may be the final battle, it may not be, but I know your ready. If it isn't I want you to take the Dursley's to Grimmauld Place. Do you understand?" Dumbledore asked urgently. Harry, Draco, and Hermione both nodded in approval and took the golden apple. Hermione felt a pull behind her naval and before she knew it they were receiving scowls from the Dursley's, who were having afternoon tea.
"What are you doing here boy?" Uncle Vernon said eyeing the three young teens carefully.
"Pack your things, we must be ready to get out of here." Harry ordered. Not one of the ignorant muggles moved. "MOVE!" Harry said pulling out his wand.
"Why?" Vernon asked Harry as he got up. "And, you can't use magic, you'll be expelled for sure."
"Because, Voldemort is on his way! In case you don't know who he is, he is the Wizard who killed my parents, and tried to kill me but didn't succeed. He is after me once again! And I will use magic to hex your butts out of here." Harry said as Hermione drew her wand hoping to make them go pack.
"No." Mrs. Dursley said simply. "I will not go!"
Hermione glared at them and conjured three large trunks before stalking off up the stairs towards the bedrooms with Draco following her and the levitating trunks. Hermione looked into the first one and noticed it was a guest room. She retreated from the room and went to the next, where she found a very small room and thought maybe it was Harry's room when he stayed for the summers. Hermione then threw open the door across from it and saw the master room. Hermione put a lightening and a space charm on the trunks and started waving her wand and clothes flew into them neatly folded. Hermione then made all their jewelry and shoes and bedspreads go into them, knowing they wouldn't like the ones at Grimmauld place, even though it looked like a new house.
After Hermione finished getting all of Mr. and Mrs. Dursley's things together she headed to Dudley's room where she charmed all his things into the big trunk. Hermione then looked at the trunks and frowned.
"These are too big," she said before waving her wand and making them the size of a deck of cards. Suddenly Hermione heard shouting downstairs. Hermione grabbed Draco's hand and sped down the steps after grabbing the three tiny trunks.
"What do you mean they are coming?" Vernon yelled, his face purple as spit flew around the room.
"I mean Voldemort is coming after you, he is coming here to take you hostage because he knows I wont let them hurt you!" Harry yelled back.
"What do you mean you wont let them hurt us?" He asked as he gestured wildly towards his family, his face turning a deep shade of puce.
"It means he wont let them torture you until Potter has to play hero and come save your sorry asses." Draco drawled standing next to Harry.
"Who are you?" Vernon asked rudely.
"Draco Malfoy." He said staring coldly at the three muggles, they were wretched beasts, no wonder wizards despised them.
"Your Father owns the Riddle House in Little Hangleton." He said staring at him with interest.
"Yes, what of it?" He drawled back taking out his wand.
"N... nothing." Vernon stuttered staring at the cherry wood wand in his hand, Vernon backed up slowly, shielding his terrified family.
"Now, you are coming back to Grimmauld Place with us when Voldemort strikes, no matter if you like it or not." Hermione said throwing the little trunks at them. Petunia let out a little whimper.
"How will I wear these?" She asked as she opened the box and saw her garments tiny and folded neatly.
"You'll get, us or another of the Order members to restore it back to it's original size." Hermione said smiling, hoping Petunia would go just to get her clothes back. Hermione turned to look at Dudley who was holding up his tiny gameboy and had a mountain of things scattered on the floor and he was amazed too see it all fit back into the trunk perfectly.
Two hours later, after hearing Dudley whine about not having enough to eat, or that he was sick of Harry and his abnormal friends being at the house, there were loud noises coming from outside. Harry peered out the window and saw black figures coming towards the house, not even trying to be discreet too the other muggles living nearby.
"HARRY POTTER!" a loud roar came from outside.
Hermione stood scared inside the house gripping Draco's hand. "What do we do if they get through?" She asked panicking, her face white.
"Don't worry." He said pulling her towards the stairs.
"But they don't know I am a traitor, I don't think." Hermione said a bit to whiny for Draco's liking, it reminded him immensely of Pansy.
"Oh well, better they find out now, than at a meeting." He asked giving her a big kiss as Death Eaters started pounding on the doors and trying to break the windows.
"This house will collapse soon," Harry yelled from the door as he stopped dead. Hermione peered towards the kitchen window where he was standing. Voldemort was standing there grinning menacingly, his flat white face and gleaming red eyes shining in the hood of his cloak.
"Miss Hermione, are we a traitor?" He asked from the window loudly enough for everyone to here.
"I never was on your side to begin with. How do you think that Dumbledore knew of your attack before it happened?" Hermione screamed at him, her voice shaking.
"Oh, I knew you were going to trade sides later." He growled as he punched the window which did nothing more than cause his hand to bounce off the glass.
Hermione felt the house shaking, and felt panicky, when suddenly she saw a few Death Eaters tramping down the stairs, they got in from an open window upstairs.
"We have to get out!" Hermione screamed sending the Cruciactus Curse at one of them who was pointing his wand at Draco. The man fell backwards, revealing Lucius Malfoy.
Hermione pulled the curse off and Draco summoned his wand where he snapped it over his knee as green sparks flew angrily out of it. Lucius stared at his son helplessly.
"You wouldn't kill your father." He said slightly scared, cowering against the carpeted stairs.
"Would you kill your son?" He asked as he finished his father off. Draco fell to his knees and stared looking into the empty eyes off the man he used to admire, he felt emotions run through him, but he couldn't mourn long because Hermione and Harry were calling for him as the house started crumbling as the Death Eaters started pouring through the windows.
"Come on!" Hermione said taking his hand as the all touched the Port Key. Hermione felt a pull behind her naval once again and looked around. They weren't moving, what went wrong?
"What happened?" Hermione asked relieved to see armies of DA and Order members. Harry waved his wand as an invisible shield went around the Dursley's. Harry quickly made them run outside as the house caved in. Harry turned around suddenly and saw Voldemort staring at him, his wand raised, the killing curse half way out of his mouth. Hermione watched Harry as the green light struck him. Harry screamed as the green turned white and suddenly a cold rush of air met them. Hermione looked around, they were all on a great countryside.
"What did he do?" Draco asked looking around at the dragons flying above them, spitting fire at wizards.
"You know, it was Dumbledore's plan, he channeled the magic, it can't kill him because technically you can only use the curse once on a person." Hermione said as she saw Harry lying on the grass. Hermione backed away, sensing a great amount of energy. Hermione looked to her right and saw the Dursley's standing there, wide eyed, as Harry's eye's grew a magnificent green and an aura of green light shown around him. The sounds seemed to stop as Harry stood to his feet, and pointed his wand at Voldemort.
Harry stood shouting incantation's Hermione couldn't here. It sounded foreign to her. Hermione watched as lightning charged the black clouds over them suddenly a curse hit Hermione and she grew numb. Hermione landed at Draco's side in a heap, where a long purple mark grazed her chest. Hermione watched helplessly as Draco squeezed her hand.
"Hermione no!" Draco said looking at Hermione's limp frame. She smiled up at him as another curse was sent their way, it was deflected by an electrically charged force field around them now.
"Hermione, here." He said holding the necklace he had bought her at Hogsmead out to her. Hermione nodded as fire engulfed Voldemort and Harry, and the ground began to shake. Draco clasped the necklace into place smiled at her. Hermione was petrified and weak. There was no way she could defend herself.
Harry summoned rain from the clouds as they swirled around Harry and Voldemort as they rose a few feet in the air and within no time they were about 20 feet off the ground. Harry raised his left hand as thousands of lightning bolts connected, Harry opened his mouth in a scream that couldn't be heard above the high whistling of the storm. Harry flew out of the tornado of a storm and was left lying on the ground as he slowly drew him self to his feet, Hermione wasn't sure how he had the strength to keep going, he looked deeply injured from the big fall.
"AVADA KADAVERA!" he shouted as green light protruded from the palm of his hands, tip of his wand, and the lightning shape scar on his head. Harry was engulfed in the green flames as a surge of energy pounded through the surrounding area, everyone left withouth Harry's shield to deflect the energy fell to their knees dead, because of not having a shield in the sudden surge of Harry's energy and rage. Hermione watched as Tom Morvalo Riddle screamed, letting out a high pitched noise. The storm suddenly ceased and it seamed to disappear with nothing more than Voldemort plummeting to the ground. Suddenly he stood up and in an instant he exploded, great black, red, and green sparks glittered through the air as a black smoke filled the air in the shape of the dark mark. Harry collapsed instantly.
Hermione writhed and writhed screaming. The pain was so intense, next to her Draco was huddled up holding his arm. Hermione continued to scream as her arm appeared to be on fire, soon she was engulfed with pain, then there was nothing. Hermione lay on the ground panting as she looked at her arm, there was no mark there, Hermione smiled before blacking out.
"Mr. Malfoy, drink up," a pesky healer said. All Draco could think about was Hermione. Where was she? Draco drank the potion to please the healer and got to his feet, ignoring his healers protests. Amazingly they were all back at Hogwarts, curtsy of Dumbledore
Draco wandered through the infirmary, looking at the people. Most were students, it looked as if the lot of adult warriors were sent to St. Mungos. Draco made his way through the many cots, filled with students, occasionally stopping too see if a dark haired girl was Hermione. After Draco had looked through the infirmary twice he sat down on his cot.
"Is something the matter, Mr. Malfoy?" The healer asked, satisfied too see he was resting.
"Do you know where Hermione Granger is?" He asked weakly, he laid back in his bed.
"Miss Granger is at St. Mungos in the intensive care unit, Mr. Malfoy." She said pulling the white sheet up to his chin.
"Why? Is she okay?" He asked trying to move. The clever healer put a Tuck In charm on his sheets so he couldn't leave his bed. Draco struggled against the sheets. The Healer walked off smirking.
"Let me up!" Draco screamed. Ron came over to him eyes red.
"They don't think she is going to make it." He said his blue eyes red and puffy, he kept fidgeting in a white sling.
"What?" Draco said struggling even more panting for breath.
"Tukata phor en" He said waving his wand with difficulty, the bed sheets relaxed and Draco pulled them off of himself.
"She is on life support, the curse she was hit with kills you slowly. There is a cure, but it is very rare potion, they were trying too give it to her last time I was there." Ron said glumly, tears rolling down his eyes.
"Wh-what?" Draco said he looked down and first noticed he was wearing white robes. Draco rushed down the hall and up to Dumbledore.
"I need..." Draco said before Dumbledore held up his hand.
"You can floo there now. I am not sure Healers would want you to visit with her." He said solemnly.
"Oh, well, where is she!" He said furiously.
"Spell Damage, Fourth Floor, St. Mungos." He replied to the furious Draco.
"Spell Damage, Fourth Floor, St. Mungos!" He said, throwing the dust into the fire. Draco watched at he spun furiously, watching as different fireplaces whirled past him. He began to slow and he stepped out of the fire and into a long busy corridor, Healers racing everywhere.
Draco walked down the hall and looked at the first plaque. It read:
Neville Longbottom, Padma Patil, Collin Creevey:
Unliftable Curse.
Healer: Pagnotta, Madden.
Draco walked past the second, third, fourth, and fifth doors, they all had different people on it. Draco searched the ward, and stopped at a sign that read Stabilized Patients.
"Er... excuse me, but is there a Hermione Granger in here? I am her fiancee." Draco said at a passing healer, she was a short and squat old woman with tightly curled gray hair.
"Yes, third corridor, room 201." She said smiling. "I might have to warn you though, she can't remember anything, and is very weak." She said frowning. Draco hurried past her in a run. He ignored the frequent shouts of: "Walk!" and "Don't run, we've just got these patients stabilized!" Or "Slow down Sir!" Draco ran anyway and stopped outside room 201 and read the sign.
Justin Finch-Fletchy, Seamus Finnigan, Hermione Granger:
Temporary Memory Loss, Recuperation.
Healer(s): Martigode, Bandug, Hacryamor.
Draco entered and saw Hermione lying in her bed talking to Seamus. Her voice was hoarse and she had bruises and bandages cluttering her body.
"Hermione?" He asked sitting in the chair to her right.
"Harry?" She asked uncertainly.
"No, Draco, your Fiancee." He said gently, Seamus and Justin looked at him with wide eyes.
"Oh, I'm sorry." She said showing no recognition.
"It's okay." He said his heart a bit broken at the sight of her. She smiled at him, but there was nothing in the smile, it was empty, it was as if her soul was gone, like this was not even Hermione.
"So I am going to marry you back at Flogdorks?" She asked smiling a false smile at him again.
"I am not sure." Draco said frowning, not even correcting her.
"Oh. Seamus said I am a witch, but I know witches aren't even real!" She said laughing, thinking this was a big joke.
"And He says my name is Hermione Granger, but I thought it was Maddy Quolks." She said smiling her faux smile again. She was absolutely mad.
"Hermione, you don't remember me?" He asked incredulously.
"Oh, yes I do, Derek." I go to school with you at Floggycorks." She said pursing her lips together.
"Malfoy, the healers say she may have permanent amnesia." Seamus said.
"I had it too, but it has wore off over the past 11 hours." Justin said in the corner.
"Oh, gosh." Draco said getting up. He wrapped his arms around her body.
"Get off of me creep!" She screeched wrenching herself away.
"Sorry." He said leaving the room tears in his eyes.
"Mr. Malfoy, this could be permanent, we are not sure. She could slip into a coma the potion isn't one hundred percent accurate, the curse made her lose her momory, I am sorry, truly I am. " A healer said as he left the room. He nodded and slowly trudged back to the fireplace and floo'd back to Hogwarts.
A/n: Please review and please be nice, constructive critisism is welcome. Also give me some ideas fo something to happen to Hermione or something. Also, thankyou to everyone who answered my question, for those of you who wanted to know as well and asked me to post it, it was:
Harry is a Halfblood becuase his mother was a mudblood and his father was a pureblood, but he is realted to muggles (ex. The Dursley's).
Thanks everyone!
