The rest of the morning people kept coming up to Harry and Hermione, congragulating them. Harry and Hermione no longer hid their feelings for each other and proudly walked to their classes with Harry's arm wrapped protectively around Hermione's waist, hauling her close to him, as she rested her head on his shoulder. In class they held hands (except for Levington's class) while they worked and surprisingly enough, were congragulated by Snape in Potions.
The next morning, they were sent an owl from Professor McGonagall, asking them to meet her at the secret hidden staircase that led up to Dumbledore's office.
"I wonder why they want to see us?" Hermione asked with concern, as she sat comfertably on Harry's knee.
"I don't know." Harry answered, putting his arms around Hermione's waist.
After breakfast, Harry and Hermione made their way up to the fourth floor to Dumbledores office. Sure enough, Professor McGonagall was standing by the entrance waiting for them.
"Good morning Mr. Potter, Miss Granger. If you will follow me." McGonagall said, walking up the spiral stairs. Harry and Hermione followed nervously.
Professor Dumbledore was sitting behind his desk when they emerged from the stairway. His office hadn't really changed much since the last time Harry had been up there, which had been just last year. Harry could see Fawkes asleep on his perch and appeared to have just been re-born again from it's ashes days before. Harry and Hermione took a seat in the wooden chairs in front of Dumbledores massive desk. Harry held Hermione's hand reasureingly as they waited for Dumbledore or McGonagall to make the first bit of conversation.
"I just want to say first hand that words cannot express how happy I am to see the two of you together like this." Dumbledore said joyfully.
"I feel the same way." McGonagall started.
"It's like seeing your parents together again Harry." Professor McGonagall continued tearfully.
"Really?" Harry asked bewildered.
"Yes. When we first saw the two of you kissing before the Quidditch match, we were almost ready to celebrate Lilly and James being alive again." Dumbledore answered with a smile. Harry's face was beaming with happiness at those words.
"Yes, but that's not what we brought you up here to tell you." McGonagall explained.
"We kind of figured that." Hermione said, blushing a light pink.
"We know you did, but don't be alarmed, your not in any trouble." Dumbledore replied in a calming voice.
"However we need to tell you two of something very important." He continued.
"What Professor?" Harry asked, looking back and forth at Dumbledore and McGonagall.
"Are either of you two aware of how powerfull Voldemort really is? All of what he can really do?" Dumbledore asked sternly, peering over top of his glasses.
"We know he was parslemouth, or I mean is." Harry answered.
"If that was his only gift we'd be very fortunate." Professor McGonagall commented.
"Lord Voldemort had powers beyond your wildest dreams. He is telepathic (a gift thought to be from fairy tales) capable of moving things with his mind and reading people's thoughts, he is capable of flight without the use of a broom stick, can control the elements, make it rain, conjour up fire, water, etc.... He has some strength, not enought to move something as big as a muggle steel ship, but enough to do serious harm. I know it seems like a lot, but I know that those powers or talents, are not all of them. He probally has many more that he is keeping a secret." Dumbledore explained bravely.
"Professor, what does that have to do with us?" Hermione asked, increasing her grip on Harry's hand.
"Harry will develop those gifts eventually, because Voldemort gave Harry all of his powers when he tried to kill Harry fifteen years ago." Dumbledore answered quietly, looking at Harry with concern, as if he was trying to see how Harry would react.
"What?" Harry and Hermione gasped in shock.
"That is not all I'm afraid. We believe that if you two get together in a private and personal way, then all of those powers will be shared with you Hermione. However, we believe that it will only happen the once." Professor McGonagall explained, her face full of embarressment.
"Now I will exempt you two from all of your classes for the day so you may talk things over between yourselves." Dumbledore said, writing something down on paper.
Harry and Hermione looked at each other seriously.
"We don't care what will happen Professors. Whether Hermione gets Voldemorts powers too, we'll deal with it together." Harry stated, linking arms with Hemione.
A/N: That's all for tonight more sometime this week I promise. :D Okay more tonight I have time since my law test date got moved up a day. This is a continuation of Chapter Five.
"I'm glad that's how you both feel, but when and if you two decide to, have more personal relasions, I ask that you let either of us know so we can sort things out, if Voldemorts powers start showing up in you two." Dumbledore said, a smile creeping onto his face.
"We will." Harry said with a small grin.
"Oh, and thank you for giving us the day off." He continued.
"Your more than welcome. Today I will ask that Professor Binns gives all his students the whole story of Lord Voldemort, so when the time comes that you gain all his powers, students will understand why, should you choose to be open about it." Dumbledore replied happily.
Harry and Hermione stood up quietly and left back down the spiral staircase. They walked outside to the lake and sat down in the shade of a large oak tree on the waters edge.
"Your not scared to have sex with me, if we decide to have sex later on down the road, are you?" Harry asked quietly, looking into Hermiones eyes as if he was burrow deep down into her soul to uncover her deepest intermost feelings.
"No, not at all. You were right when you said whatever happenes we'll face it together." Hermione answered, hugging Harry.
"In fact, why don't we go do it now, just to see if they are right." Hermione added excitedly.
"What? Now? Where?" Harry asked with great suprise, excitement bubbling up in his stomach like an oceans waves in the wake of a storm.
"Yes of course now. We love each other dearly and that's all that matters. This is just another way of expressing our love for each other." Hermione said joyfully as she held Harry's hands.
"Where though? We need a place where a student can't walk in on us." Harry said, running through visual images of Hogwarts, thinking of where the most privacy would be found.
"How about Hagrids caves?" Hermione suggested.
"Alright let's go." Harry answered with a laugh, as he jumped to his feet. He took Hermione's hand and and started running towards the entrance to Hagrids caves, which were down along the far end edgees of the lake, a place where not many students knew was there and those that did dare not to enter in fear of what Hagrid may keep inside it's shadowed walls. Harry had been in there on several occasions to be alone if he needed to clear his mind of thoughts that were bothering him and had taken Hermione down there several times to show her the beauty of the waterfall that made up an entire wall in the cave, deep near it's center. They ran through out the torch lit cave searching for the entrance to the middle of the cave where the waterfall was. They finally found it and ran laughing down the pathway. They waterfall roared as it fell down past the cave opening, a thin mist filled the cave and they could smell the salt from the water.
Harry and Hermione began to kiss passionatly as they slowly started stripping their clothes off.
"Oh God Harry, I love you." Hermione gasped between a kiss as she hauled her pants off.
"I love you too Hermione." Harry replied as he undid her bra. The sound of the roaring waterfall covered up the sounds of their laughter and sighs and screams of pleasure.
It wasn't until and hour later that they had stopped and layed underneath their cloaks in each others arms.
"If I didn't know any better, I'd say you've done this before." Hermione commented with a huge smile.
"I was about to say the same about you." Harry replied, kissing the top of her head.
"I guess we just have a natural talent for it." Hermione laughed.
"Do you feel anything different? Like more powerful or something?" Harry asked seriously.
"No, you?" Hermione asked, looking up at Harry.
"Nope, guess they were wrong." Harry answered with a grin.
"Yeah, wait. Do you hear that?" Hermione asked, sitting up.
"Hear what?" Harry asked, sitting up next to Hermione, trying to hear what she heard.
"It's Hagrid and he's not alone." Hermione said quietly.
"How do you know?" Harry asked.
"Hagrid sings when he's alone or with Fang, but now he's not singing, he's talking to someone." Hermione answered.
"I can hear him now, but, it can't be. He's talking with the Minsiter of Magic!" Harry exclaimed with disbelief.
"Oh no, they're coming this way!" Hermione said, quickly grabbing her clothes.
"Come on we got to get out of here quickly." Harry said, grabbing his clothes as he got to his feet. They dressed frantically as Hagrid and Mr. Fudge drew nearer.
"They're almost to the pathway!" Hermione yelled to Harry, hauling her school robe on.
"There's no other way out! If Mr. Fudge sees us down here, things will only get worse." Harry said, looking everywhere possible for a way to get out.
"Wait, I think I know how to get out." Harry said, running over to the waterfall.
"How?" Hermione asked, looking up towards the path and the shadows of Hagrid and Mr. Fudge coming closer.
"Do you trust me?" Harry asked, gently grabbing her arms as he looked into her eyes pleadingly.
"With my life." Hermione answered honestly.
"Good, now hold on to me tightly and jump." Harry ordered, slinging Hermione onto his back as he jumped out through the water and into the air.
"Harry Potter! If we die, consider our sex life over!" Hermione screamed as she held on to Harry for dear life.
"I thought you said you trusted me!" Harry shouted back over the sound of the wind as they fell through the sky.
"That was before you had me jump out of the waterfall!" Hermione answered.
"Don't worry, I have a plan!" Harry yelled as he halued out his wand.
"Accio Firebolt!" Harry yelled, pointing his wand in the direction of the castle.
"Come on." Harry thought, looking for any sign of his Firebolt.
"There it is!" Harry shouted, pointing towards the small object moving towards them rapidly. Harry reached his hand out and grasped the handle of his Firebolt tightly. He hauled it underneath of Hermione and himself and kept it pointed down towards the ground. Just as they were about to hit the ground, he hauled the broom upright and flew off towards the castle.
"Harry, you are lucky to have pulled that off!" Hermione whispered into his ear.
"I know." Harry grinned.
"Just never do it again!" Hermione exclaimed wacking Harry on the shoulder.
Harry laughed as he slowed the broom down in front of the school entrance. It was another hour and a half until dinner, so the two of them went back up to the common room to clean up.
"I'll be back in a bit Harry, I'm going to have a shower." Hermione said, walking up the first few steps towards her dormitry.
"I'm not invited?" I'm hurt." Harry joked, giving Hermione a hug.
"I want to have a shower that involves getting clean, not making out." Hermione laughed, giving Harry a quick kiss.
"See you in a bit." She said as she went up to her dormitry.
Harry smiled, he was beaming inside out, he and Hermione were as serious as a couple who have been going out for months or even years.
"Hermione must be my soul mate." Harry thought happily to himself as he walked into his own dormitry.
"That also makes her a target like me as well." he thought, remembering what Malfoy and Pansy had said. He didn't want to admit it, but they were right. Voldemort eanted him dead all along, but now that Hermione and him were going out, that made her a target as well. If Voldemorts powers did get shared between him and Hermione, than that puts her on Voldemorts to kill list, right next to his own name.
"I won't let anything happen to Hermione as long as I'm alive." Harry thought, realizing something as well.
"I'd die for that girl. She's more than just my soulmate now." He thought.
"I want her to be more than that."
Harry ran out of the dormitry and took off for the owlery. He picked up a piece of parchment and a quill and began to write a letter. Suddenly, Harry felt a great aching pain soar through his head and body. He collapsed to the floor, gasping for air, his vision blurred and his ears were ringing.
"Hermione." Harry gasped, suddenly Harry could see Hermione on the floor by her bed gasping in pain as well. Finally the pain left as quickly as it came and Harry no longer could see Hermione. Harry tried to look around, but his vision was blurred. He took his glasses off and rubbed his eyes. He looked around again, with his glasses still off and gasped with shock.
"What the...?" Harry asked outloud. He could see crystal clear now and he never even had his glasses on.
"What happened to me?" Harry thought to himself, he had never been able to see this good, not even with his glasses on, much less off. He stood up and quickly finished his letter. He had to get to Hermione and make sure she was okay. He tied the letter to Hedwigs outstretched leg and sent her off. Harry ran as quickly as he could back to the common room. He could feel all this new power in him and could tell he knew more than when he entered the owlery.
Her looked all around the empty common room, Hermione was no where to been seen. Harry closed his eyes and calmed his mind. He focused entirerly on Hermione and let his mind search. Harry's eyes shot open, Hermione was running out of her dormitry.
"Hermione!" Harry yelled running towards the stairs.
"Harry!" Hermione yelled in reply she she lept into Harry's arms.
"Are you alright now? I saw you but I couldn't get to you any sooner." Harry said, rubbing Hermione's shoulder gently.
"I saw you too and I could feel you coming." Hermione cried.
"What? You did too? Oh no." Harry said emotionally.
"What is it Harry?" Hermione asked.
"Voldemorts powers." they both thought.
"Exactly." Harry said.
"Wait, I never said that out loud, I thought it." he continued, greatly confused.
"Same with me. Does that mean...?" Hermione started to ask.
"That that pain we felt was Voldemorts powers becoming a part of us? I hate to admit it but yes." Harry thought testing to see if Hermione could hear him.
"But how do we know how to use these powers?" Hermione thought back.
"Well I'm guessing that since he knew how to use all of his powers when he tried to kill me when I was a baby, so maybe we got the powers with an instant understanding of how to use them." Harry explained mentally.
"I heard that." Hermione thought in reply.
"Oh God Hermione, I'm so sorry I did this to you." Harry said, kissing her on the forehead.
"You never meant for it to happen Harry, but we agreed that we would get through whatever happened together, remember?" Hermione cried, her tears soaking Harry's shirt.
"Yes, I remember." Harry said, holding Hermione tightly.
"I'd rather have Voldemorts powers with you then alone." Hemrione replied.
"I promise you Hermione, I'll never let you be alone to face any of this. I'll protect you no matter what, sodon't worry, everything will be alright." Harry said in a soothing voice, holding Hermione in a tight embrace.
"Oh Harry, never let me go."
"I promise." Harry whispered in Hermione's ear, resting his head on her wet hair. THey stood in silence, embraced in each others arms, Hermione's soft sobbing was muffled in Harry's chest.
"Hermione come on, let's go down to the great hall, before everyone starts coming up here. Alright?" Harry suggested quietly.
"Alright." was all Hermione said, sniffing as she took Harry's hand.
By the time they had got down to the great hall, Hermione had stop crying and was trying to get rid of the redness around her eyes. Dumbledore and Hagrid were already at the head table when Harry and Hermione walked up to the table.
"Hello Harry, Hello Hermione. How is your day off going so far?" Dumbledore asked cheerfully.
"It happened." Harry said quietly.
"When? Did both of you, you both have it now?" Dumbldore asked, his voice heavy with concern.
"We did it this morning right after we left your office. Then it happened right after we got back up in the common room. We know how to do everything so far." Hermione answered, her voice shaking.
"Are you two alright?" Dumbledore asked, pouring them both a cup of tea.
"Yes. A bit scared, but we will make it." Harry replied, taking the cups of tea.
"What are youtalking about Professor?" Hagrid asked, confused.
"I'll explain in the staff meeting this afternoon." Dumbledore replied, giving Hagrid a serious look.
"Alright Professor." Hagrid replied with a nod.
"Have you told Professor McGonagall?" Dumbledore asked, returning his attention to Harry and Hermione.
"No Professor, not yet." Hermione answered, taking a sip of tea.
"Yes, well I will tell her the instant that she comes down for dinner. You realize that we wil need to talk to the two of you again tonight right?" Dumbledore mentioned quietly.
"Yes Professor." Harry replied, hauling Hermione closer to him.
"Godd. Now go get something to eat, because believe me, you'll need the strenght and energy." Dumbledore said, smiling for the first time since Harry and Hermione had told him of their condition.
"Yes Professor and thank you for the tea." Harry said as he and Hermione walked over to the Griffyndor table and sat down.
By now both teachers and students had started to arrive in the great hall and it seemed to only take a few minutes before the tables were filled and cheerful chatter filled the air.
"Harry! Hermione!" Ron yelled over the noise as he made his way to the table.
"Hey Ron." Hemione greeted, smiling for the first time since the events of that morning.
"Why weren't you guys in class this morning?" Ron asked as he took a seat in front of the two of them.
"Uh, Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore had us in a private meeting this morning and Dumbledore exempted us from todays classes." Harry explained with a grin.
"What did they want to have a meeting with you for?" Ron asked with a puzzled look.
"Ummmm, the ummmmmm, sex safety." Hermione lied.
"You can't be serious." Ron gasped with disbelief.
"We are. They brought us up to Dumbledores office and told us how to have safe sex." Harry laughed.
"I can't believe it." Ron answered with a laugh.
"Well believe it." Hermione grinned.
"Next you two will tell me you acually did it." Ron laughed, looking at Harry and Hermione.
"What's so hard to believe about that?" Hermione asked.
"No way." Ron gasped, eyes wide with shock.
"I'm offended that you find it unbelievable." Hermione joked, faking a hurt look.
"Oh my God! You two really did?" Ron exclaimed.
"Really, really." Harry grinned, wrapping his arm around Hermiones shoulder.
"Gaaa! You two are the coolest!" Ron shouted loudly.
"Ron, quiet!" Hermione ordered, clamping her hand over Ron's mouth.
"Sorry. I'm just so jealous of you two. I mean I'll probally be a virgin till I'm married." Ron stated excitedly.
"Ron, I didn't really need to know that." Harry said with disgust.
"Sorry again, but it's true. Hey, where's your glasses Harry?" Ron asked, realizing finally that Harry wasn't wearing his glasses.
"Oh, I lost them right before dinner. I tripped and fell and I couldn't find them after I got up." Harry lied, coving up the fact that his glasses were probally still laying up on the owlery floor.
"Ooo tough luck Harry." Ron said, filling up his plate with a little bit of everything on the table.
"Yeah I know." Harry replied, taking some mashed potatos.
"What really happned to them Harry?" Hermione asked mentally.
"For some bizzarre reason I don't need them anymore. I can see better now than before with my glasses on, so I left them up on the owlery floor." Harry answered mentally.
"That's wierd." Hermione replied, taking a spponful of pasta.
"Yeah I know, but at least now I won't break them in Quidditch." Harry commented, taking a mouthful of potato.
"Ooo hot!" Harry exclaimed, taking a big drink of juice.
"That's why you let your food cool off some before you eat it." Hermione laughed silently.
"What's wrong Harry?" Ron asked, giving Harry a strange look.
"His potato was still really hot and he took a big mouthfull of it." Hermione explained with a grin.
"I think I burnt the roof of my mouth." Harry said, fanning his mouth.
"Maybe this will help." Hermione cooed, giving Harry a kiss.
"Much." Harry replied with a grin.
"You two are love sick for each other." Ron commented with disgust.
"Just you wait Ron, you'll be just like this someday." Hermione said with a laugh.
"Not if I can help it." Ron answered.
"Just you wait." Hermione said.
"Can you acually picture Ron acting like this with a girl?" Harry asked in his head.
"Not really, but then again I couldn't picture myself acting like this with a guy either." Hermione thought back.
"Yeah, we should try to hook Ron up with someone." Harry replied.
"Let's keep our eyes open for all possibilities." Hermione answered excitedly.
"Don't hook him up with just anyone though Hermione." Harry warned.
"I know, but this i going to be so much fun!" Hermione exclaimed, trying to subdue her excitement, so that Ron would suspect anything.
"You are unreal Hermione." Harry said with a silent laugh.
"Hey, you know what? I see the plus side to phsyic powers." Hermione stated.
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah, we can have conversations like this, without worrying about being heard." Hermione explained.
"Your right. This is really fun when you think of it." Harry agreed.
Harry and Hermione felt a hand on their shoulders and turned to look to see to whom it belonged. It was Professor McGonagall, who had a very mixed expression on her face.
"May I speak with you two privately?" she asked quietly.
"Yes of course Professor." Harry answered with a nod as he and Hermione stood up and followed Professor McGonagall outside the great hall.
"How are you both feeling?" Professor McGonagall asked, checking to make sure that no one was eavesdropping.
"Better than ever." Hermione said with a smile.
"Is tht so? Well I suppose you would be now. Do you have everything?" Professor McGonagall asked, her face full of worry.
"You speak of our new powers as if they were a disease. But, yes we do so far and we know how to use everything." Hermione thought light heartedly.
Professor McGonagall's eyes grew wide with surprise at the sound of Hermione's voice in her head.
"Sorry if I startled you Professor." Hermione apologized outloud.
"No do't worry about it Miss Granger. I just hope the two of you will not misuse your new powers and respect peoples privacy." Professor McGonagall said sternly.
"Don't worry Professor, we would never dream of doing such a thing." Harry replied reasuringly.
"I know, I trust the two of you, but it is something I have to say anyway." Professor McGonagall said, sighing with relief.
"But I must tell you however, that the two of you need to come to Professor Dumbledores office this evening to be assesed." Professor McGonagall added as she pushed her glasses back up on her nose.
"Alright Professor McGonagall. We'll be there." Hermione said with a confident smile.
"See you tonight." Professor McGonagall replied, heading up the main staircase, her robes lightly swishing behind her.
For the rest of the afternoon Harry and Hermione decided to put their new powers to the test. They walked up to the owlery, making sure to avoid Filch and Mrs. Norris, who surely would question them. Some of the owls sleepily opened theis eyes as the door shut behind Harry and Hermione with a loud bang. A light wind was blowing through the windows, causing some loose parchment to fall to the floor. They looked around the owlery for things they could use for targets to test tier powers on, but all they could find was hay and a few dented tin buckets.
"I guess these will have to do." Harry said with a sigh as he lined the cans up on top of a bare table.
"So what now?" Hermione questioned, placing her hands on her hips.
"We start causing some innocent, high powered mischief." Harry answered with a mischievious grin.
"Oh you mean like this?" Hermione asked, raising her hand in the direction of the middle can, focusing on it. FIre flickered in her eyes and a smile crossed her face as the can caught on fire and went flying as she sent a stream of spiraling flames at it.
"Exactly what I ment. But I assume you will put that fire out before the hay catches on fire." Harry answered with a smirk.
"But of course." Hermione replied, waving her hand in the direction of the burning can, causing a small wave of water to stop the fire.
"Now how about we make our own fire?" Hermione cooed, wrapping her arms around Harry's waist.
"After, but ifrst I think it'd be fun to ry the flying thing." Harry answered, kissing Hermione's forehead, as he slowly rose in the air.
"Hey wait for me." Hermione laughed, following Harry out the window.
"This is amazing!" Harry exclaimed as he flew effortlessly through the sky, tkaing Hermione's hand as they flew up onto the top of the castle.
"The view up here is breathtaking! I can see Hogsmeade from here." Hermione commented excitedly pointing in the direction of Hogsmeade, where the houses and shops could be seen.
"I cannot imagine not being able to share this with you." Harry saidsincerily, putting his arms around Hermione as she sat down on his lap.
"This should be our spot. A place where no one else can get to." Hermione thought with a smile as she leaned backagainst Harry's chest.
"It should be, so let's make it that." Harry thought in reply, as he quietly began to sing into Hermione's ear. He couldn't seem to recall where he had heard that song before, but it seemed strangly familier. The words flowed from Harry's mouth like the sweet sounds of music from a harp and almost sounded like a lulabye. He stopped singing and gently kissed Hermione's head.
"Oh Harry don't stop. That song was beautiful and you voice a amazing." Hermione commented, laying down completly in Harry's arms.
"Why don't you sing to me. I'm sure that you can sing like the angel you are." Harry said with a laugh.
"Cheap line Harry." Hermione said with a smile.
"I know." Harry stated.
"But I will sing for you, however, the only songs I know are church ones." Hermione replied, snuggling closer to Harry.
"Sing them anyway. I've never been to church before." Harry said.
Hermione quietly began to sing to Harry, her voice filling the air around them like the smell of grass and flowers on a summer day. Her soft singing was soothing and peaceful, causing Harry's eyes to feel heavy. He shut his eyes and fell into a deep slumber, Hermione'd voice still echoing in his mind.
Harry opened his eyes, the sun was setting and the air had a bit of a chill to it. Harry stretched, his sleep had been dreamless but peaceful. He looked down at Hermione, her head ontop of his chest, and her arms were tucked in between herself and his body.
"She looks so precious and innocent when she's asleep." Harry thought.
"I'd hate to have to disturb her, but we have to go to Dumbledore's office soon." Harry shook Hermione's shoulder gently. She stirred a bit in her sleep, her arm slid slowly up onto his chest.
"Hey love, time to get up." Harry laughed quietly.
"Hmmmm, wha'? Hermione asked sleepily, slowly opening her eyes.
"I said hey love, time to get up." Harry replied, kissing Hermione on the head.
"Welcome back from dreamland."
"Oh." Hermione laughed.
"Thanks. What time is it?" she asked, looking at his watch.
"Oh my dear it's five thirty!" Hermione exclaimed sitting up.
"We'd better go down to the great hall and get something to eat before we go up to Dumbledore's office." Harry said, getting to his feet.
"Yeah Ron must be going nuts wondering where we are." Hermione laughed, as she stretched.
"Geez how long were we asleep?" she asked, looking into the darkening sky.
"Almost six hours." Harry answered.
"Well we definatly won't be getting any sleep tonight. It's a wonder we didn't get a serious sunburn." Hermione laughed.
"It's a wonder." Harry agreed.
"What are you looking at?" Harry asked, walking up beside Hermione.
"The sky, it's going to rain tomorrow."
"How can you tell?" Harry asked curiously, looking up at the sky as well.
"The air is damp,and my grandfather always said: Red sky in the morning sailors take warning, red sky at night saliors delight." Hermione explained.
"And plus, I can feel it. Almost like the weather is talking to me, you know?"
"Yeah, I feel it too and I feel mt stomach growling." Harry joked, putting his arm around Hermione's waist.
"Alright, alright, we'll go eat now." Hermione laughed, floating up in the air.
"Yes!" Harry shouted playfully, taking Hermione's hand as they flew cautiously down to the owlery window, checking to make sure no one was in there.
A/N: Hope you all enjoy this part, and her is a little piece of what lay ahead (at some point) in the story.:
Harry screamed in rage as he watched Voldemort effortlessly throw Hermione across the Quidditch pitch into the hard wood of the stands. She fell to the ground, her body limp. Harry looked over to Voldemort, fire burning in his eyes and around him. He shot a powerful stream of flames at Voldemort, hitting him directly in the chest. He never took the time to see where Voldemort had landed but transported himself across the pitch to Hermione's side. There were several cuts on Hermione's face, but slowly started to heal themselves as she regain consiousness.
