Chapter
2: Without Love
-Stacie Orrico
llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIt had been a few hard days of research, but she had pieces of the puzzle that was almost complete. She found a book on the 'undead', which she believed Sirius to be. It read:
"For years, people have gone out for searches on loved ones believed to be 'undead.' Many have come out empty handed, but a small handful has been triumphant."
Hermione was enticed by this and read on:
". . . People have used potions, sacrifices, and 'deals with the devil' (not to be believed), but the one true standby is the unexpected true love. The unexpected love goes out in search for the missing other, otherwise known as the undead. After some time of search, the undead is now alive and in full light. They come back to its true form."
By this point in time, Hermione had begun to wonder why this wasn't a known fact. 'Why is it that this did not stick out as an answer before?' She read on to find out a bit more on that particular topic, but had come to a loss. She knew that now, there had to be an 'unexpected' true love to save Sirius, but only if he was really undead, which was now an unanswered question.
Now Hermione had to find the answer to the last question 'Was Sirius part of the undead?' She already knew that who she wanted to really bring back, she could not. He was not part of the undead, he was very much dead.
Hermione had gone home thinking if there was anything or anyone who could answer that question. 'Was Sirius the part of the undead?' She had not immediately thought of anyone, but the answer was so obvious, she almost hit herself. Dumbledore. He would be able to give her an answer.
Hermione had decided to take the next day off from work, it was a Monday, she hated Mondays. Her boss never minded it anyway. She had decided to go see Dumbledor about her revelation. Since school was in session, she was not sure as to where he would be or the password to his office. So, she made her way to Professor McGonagall's room, where she knew the occupant would be.
She opened the door slowly, checking to see if there was a class in session. Noticing there was no class, she walked in to see the teacher sitting at her desk, sifting through some papers.
The older woman sitting before her looked up as Hermione continued to walk, and greeted her with a warm and welcoming smile "Good afternoon, and what a pleasant surprise, Miss. Granger!"
"Good afternoon to yourself, Professor McGonagall." Hermione sat herself is at table near the front, just like she did only short of a decade ago. She looked around the room in reminiscence.
McGonagall had pushed her papers aside, took off her reading glasses, and folded her hands in front of her. "Well child, what brings you here to Hogwarts?"
Hermione blushed slightly, "Well, you see Professor, I have come to you in search for Professor Dumbledore. I haven't a clue as to where he would be at this time, and I haven't the password to his office. I have an important question for him. Plus I wanted to see a familiar face."
The old Professor laughed at the passed students play, and told her that the Headmaster would be in his office at that time. She also gave Hermione the password into his office. She thanked her old teacher and left with anticipation to see Dumbledore.
As she approached the large winged bird, she spoke of the password and stepped up to the step as it spiraled to the top towards the Headmasters office. She stepped off the stairs and walked towards where Professor Dumbledore seemed to be awaiting her arrival. Hands folded, looking straight over to Hermione, with those blues eyes, and his warm, special smile, only someone of his authority could hold.
"Good afternoon, Miss Granger. I believe you came here for a reason?" He said this nonchalantly, with that twinkle in his blue, blue eyes.
Hermione smiled at his wisdom and replied, "Yes Professor, I have. You see I have been doing some extensive work on finding a way to get Sirius back, but I have to know if the one quality that he needs to be retrieved, is true." She ended with an almost confusedly, questioning face on. Se looked to the headmaster.
Dumbledore continued to look at Hermione with that same twinkle. She knew then that she had her answer. She could save Sirius. All she had to do now was find true unexpected love, but form where?
Where on Earth am I
going to find 'unexpected'
love?
