CHAPTER TWNETY TWO: REALIZATIONS

Hermione couldn't move. She was frozen to the spot, breath entangled somewhere in her chest, all thoughts lost from her mind. She refused to believe it...it was impossible! But there she stood, staring at Harry only a few feet away from her.

"Hermione..." Draco whispered, bulging eyes fixated on Harry, and face a good many shades paler than usual. "Wh-how-bu-it" He stammered, unable to speak

"I-I don't know" She replied, as if she'd understood what Draco had said.

"Bloody Hell!" Neville whispered in amazement.

Ron didn't move from the position he'd decided to freeze in and Ginny...words couldn't explain what she was feeling.

Tears had gathered in her eyes, but she refused to let them fall. "It's a trick" she finally said, voice steady, turning away from Harry. "There's no other explanation"

"Ginny..." Neville began, voice still holding wonder "It's real. He's right there!"

"No Neville, Harry is dead. He's gone forever and nothing can bring him back" She replied defiantly

"Ginny look at me!" Neville said, grabbing a hold of her arms "Harry's standing over there! He's back! He's alive!"

Tears finally overflowed her eyes, and cautiously spilled down her face. "He-He can't be."

Harry opened his emerald green eyes. Where the bloody hell was he??!

Surveying the room, he judged him to be inside some sort of cave. Why he was there, he had no idea! There was a heavy smoke inside the room, and through it he could barely make out the outlines of people scattered at his feet. All were laughing madly and realization occurred that these people were Death Eaters! Panic rising, he searched around the room for Voldemort. He was absent.

And then suddenly, memories came crashing upon him, suffocating and drowning him. Comforting Hermione in his bed....The war....Draco and Lucius battling...His duel with Voldemort....Voldemort's scream as he fell, as Harry won....The pain he felt following....Ginny and his proclamation of his love for her....their kiss....Pain...Hermione, Ron, Ginny, and Draco in the background...their screams...and then...nothing! Knees unable to hold him upright, he desperately leaned onto the stone wall near him, and sunk to the floor.

He looked cautiously at his body...his hands were the same...his face felt the same...everything was his! But how...it was impossible! He had died!!!! But here he sat...just as alive as ever!

A voice brought him out of his thoughts though, a male voice... "Where'd Potter go?"

Another followed, a female. "I don't know. Search the cave for him!"

The familiar scurrying of people was heard, and Harry's fear escalated. What to do! He had to get back to Hogwarts...everything would be fine from there. But another thought plagued him...what if they had lost the battle? What if Hogwarts was under Death Eater rule? What if his friends were dead? At this thought, he clutched his stomach and tears pricked his eyes.

Suddenly he heard a scream and he jerked his head up. He'd recognized that voice anywhere! Hermione was here....

(A/N: Another extremely short chapter I know but I promise more to come! REVIEW!!!!!! Hugs, Haystack)
