Chapter 10

The next morning, Harry found himself alone in the bed. As he got out of bed, he saw traces of blood on the sheets. Harry quickly ran out of the room and looked for Hermione. He was in the hall when he saw Ron and Lavender right in front of McGonagall's office. "Ron, Lavender, have you seen...." Harry paused for he saw Ron comforting Lavender, not minding his now tear stained shirt. "What happened?" asked Harry. "Haven't you heard? Attacks have been going on at night. Somebody killed Lavender's little cousin while she was sleeping." Answered Ron. " She was just in first year!" sobbed Lavender. "Listen, Hermione's been missing." Said Harry. "What?!" said Ron. "You should tell Mc---Hello Professor." Professor McGonagall just came out of her office with Professor Dumbeldore. "Mr. Potter, I think it is time to tell you." Said Prof. McGonagall. "Yes, we shall talk in a more private place." Said Dumbeldore and with that they apparated to Dunbeldore's office. "Has Miss Granger told you yet?" asked Dumbeldore. "Yes. She has told me about Voldemort going to take over he body. But you don't understand! She's-""Missing. We know. It is what the prophecy had said, The chosen one's beloved is to be ruled over by the Dark Lord. "said McGonagall, sighing. " We believe she is in the Chamber of secrets, to awaken the evil inside." Said Dumbeldore. "I have to get out of here. I have to get Hermione back." Said Harry, standing up to get out of the room, but Dumbeldore stopped him. Harry gave him a glare and stiffened up buT Dumbeldore placed a hand on his shoulder and said, "Be Careful." Harry softened up and smiled. Dumbeldore got out of the way and Harry stepped into the Gargoyle. His last few words were, " I'll be back." ( Wow....I turned Harry into Arnold Schwargenneger..or however you spell that.)

Hermy's POV

################################

I can't go on......anymore......get out Voldemort, get out.... Thought Hermione. She figured out today was the day of Judgment for Harry. Once she reached the chamber, she knelt down and silently cried. " I can't do this....I can't kill Harry......I just can't...." she wiped away her tears and carefully took out the dagger she used, or Voldemort used, to kill Lavender's cousin. "I didn't mean it, Lavender, I really didn't..." She placed the dagger on top of her hand.

"Here, is for Ron..."Hermione slashes a cut on her hand with a ruby encrusted dagger. "Here....is..for..Lavender....." she creates another cut, only deeper."And here", Hermione puts down her bloody hand,"is for Harry." She points the dagger towards her heart before...........

"HERMIONE!! NO!!"came a voice. Hermione glanced at Harry, Ron, and Lavender as they ran to her.

"No.......guys....don't come near me.......no..........GET AWAY FROM ME!!"cried Hermione."It's not safe......Harry, Ron , Lav, you'll get...." Before Hermione even finished her sentence, her eyes went wide open. "Her...mione?" Ron whispered. Hermione screamed with rage that it shook the whole chamber. They saw Hermione cover her face in her hands. "Herm, is everything...all...right?"asked Lavender. "Oh sure, yes, everything is all right..."they heard Hermione say in a muffled voice."Everything is all right,"she stood upright to show her brown-now-bloody-red eyes"that is, for me."

Her eyes had slits for pupils very much like a cat. "No......Voldemort!" "Yes,In the flesh, only, Mr.Potter......in your beloved one's flesh. Pretty perfect, I tell you. After I take over her body, I'll put her under the impediment curse and let her kill you all, one...by....one."

"Get your own body, you git!"roared Harry. "Ah,ah,ah, you wouldn't want your fiancee to hear you talk to her like that, would you?" Harry fell silent but still glaring at Voldemort's eyes, even though he was in Hermione's body, he was still itching to kill him. "Now, let's get started, shall we? First of all, I don't need a little red head around me...' With a wave of a finger, Voldemort sent Ron flying towards the wall, hitting himself with great impact. "Same thing with a brunette, eh?(A/N: Aah! Voldy went Canadian!...'Shut Up!'....ok, back 2 the story..)" Voldemort waved his finger again, and sent Lavender soaring through the air, and hitting herself right next to Ron. "Now all I have left is little Mr.Potter. Ah, yes, The Boy-Who-Lived, the one who caused me to find ANOTHER LIVING BODY!" said Voldemort, glaring at Harry. "Now, have a seat, will you?" Voldemort waved his hand and sent Harry to the stone chair. He waved his hand again and strapped Harry to it. Voldemort beckoned the chair to him. " Well, as now shall be it, the end, of the Boy-Who-Live. You shall be the Boy-Who-Lived no more..." Voldemort summoned an emerald encrusted dagger to him. When he was about to strike Harry with it, He stopped. He dropped the dagger and held his head in his hands(A/N: yeah, I know it was Hermione's body, but I didn't know what to call it. Should I do ti like this?: 'Voldemort held Voldemort's head in his hands' or Voldemort held Hermione's head in his hands'.....w/e). He screamed in agony. He dropped to the marble floor as the stone chair finall let go of Harry. Harry knelt beside Hermione's lifeless body. It was silence. But then, something broke the silence.

"NO, VOLDEMORT! GET OUT OF MY BODY!!"Harry heard Hermione's voice scream.

"SHUT UP, YOU SILLY LITTLE GIRL, YOU CANNOT GET RID OF ME!"came Voldemort's voice.

"JUST GET OUT!!" answered Hermione.

"SHUT UP , YOU GIT!" shouted Voldemort.

"HARRY....HARRY.....IF YOU'RE NEAR ME.......I"

"I SAID SHUT UP!!"

"HARRY, I LOVE YOU!"

Suddenly, Hermione's body became lifeless again.

"Hermione, I love you too..."said Harry. He brushed away some of Hermione's hair off her face and kissed her tenderly.

As Harry walked away to Ron and Lavender's unconscious bodies, Harry heard....

"Harry?"

Harry quickly turned and ran to Hermione's body. She had her eyes open, and, as Harry saw, her cinnamon brown eyes were back with no single trace of a red mark.

Harry took her in his arms and kissed her as if he had never kissed before.

" I love you, principessa, mi amore, bella-"

"Harry, just call me Hermione."

"That works for me."

(A/N: I'm sooooooo sorry Lannie! I didn't get to keep my promise! Unfortunately my mom told me right after you called that we have to go somewhere. Aww, I don't really know how to repay you, well....yeah. All I can say is that there are 2 more stories ( or more, I'm not sure, my cousin's in charge of one) to go.  Peace? LOL, Bye! – MisstressofChapters-)
