Ch 7 On the run

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter; I only use their bodies to do my bidding...

Kvun: Hey all! Thanks so much for reviewing, I know I haven't updated this story in a long time, but I've been working on another story. It's called:

Journey to Purity

It's a story based on Inuyasha (which is a change since I don't normally write for Inuyasha. So if you've got time, and like Inuyasha, check it out. Anyways, really hope you enjoy this chapter (at least those who actually liked this story). Enjoy!

Harry's POV

Oh god... I have such an intense head ache... my eyes are closed but I'm still conscious... I feel really funny though... it's like I'm under water... or gliding in something... yet I'm still breathing...

A thought suddenly hit me; "Am I dead?" No. I reply. I'm not. I remember... but only vaguely... I remember Dumbledore... Yes, I'm sure of that... Where were we...? At someone's house... a close friend... Draco! Yes that's it, we were at Draco's house after... after we ran away from Moonlight pub. Yeah, I remember that part. Dumbledore tracked us down from there... But how?

Hermione! I remember, a simple tracking spell. Hermione... We were discussing very important about her... her and someone... Ron! Yeah, they were getting married... That's it. Why do I feel so crummy? I should be happy for them right?

"Well tough cause' I don't" replied a voice in my head.

"But they're my friends, what kind of friend would I be if I laughed behind their back like a jealous freak?" I argued back.

"Well what kind of friend is Ron when he knows you like Hermione" it replied again.

"But he doesn't know that I like her" I said. But my thoughts were interrupted by a hard thump on my left cheek. It seemed quite painful... I wonder what could have caused it?

It happens again and now my face hurts a little. I wish it would stop... what ever it was. I hear voices now... they' sound distant yet strangely loud. Wait! I recognize one of them. Draco! My friend... He saved me... from Dumbledore... In his entrance hall... Dumbledore was there. Oh god, my head hurts from all this thinking... Dumbledore... he could read my mind... yeah... and something about Draco and Ginny... And last thing I remember is me being dragged into the floor. Into the floor?

I open my eyes suddenly even though my head feels like it's about to split only to find Ron with his palm raised high above his face ready to slap me again.

"Oh good Harry, you're awake" he said cheerfully. I get up and rub my cheeks a little. It was kind of soar.

"Ronald!" said Hermione hurrying beside him, "I told you not to hurt him, I only told you to wake him up" she scolded.

"Yeah sorry 'bout that mate" he said grinning as if it were all some kind of joke. I get up but my head hurt too much and ended up falling back down quite violently. I let out a moan in pain.

"Damn, Harry, where does it hurt?" asked Hermione cautiously.

For a split second, I thought of saying something sweet like "It's all better now that you're here" or even "I'm sure if you kissed it, it would go away", but then I saw Ron from behind her worried face and decided to settle with:

"Just a little head ache". Hermione smiled with relief

"Hey Ginny" she called across the room, "get me a wet cloth for Harry, he's awake"

"Where are we?" I ask.

"Well, according to Malfoy over there," said Ron twitching only slightly at Draco's name, "his mansion thing has this strange alternate reality universe thingy going on." He didn't seem to quite know what he was talking about as a droopy lost look grew on his face. I turned to Hermione who was busy folding the wet cloth. She rolled her eyes towards Ron and giggled a little.

"It's not that confusing Ron," she said a-matter-of-factly, "professor McGonagall's mentioned it at least a hundred times in class."

"Hermione, do you think I have better things to do then to waste my time remembering 7 years worth of knowledge?"

"Well, you didn't really make much of an effort, it's no wonder that you only got 2 NEWTS. And in any case, I bet Harry remembers it" she said crossly.

"It's called a Cojallucus charm" said Ginny entering the conversation. Harry blinked with a blank face.

"God, it's amazing that you got 8 NEWTS" muttered Hermione.

"A cojallucus charm is a charm placed on a house or what ever which makes it like its own city or even province (something from the size of Toronto to as big as England) in the inside of the house which looks completely normal from the outside."

"So we're still in Draco's mansion?" asked Harry amazed that such a charm existed.

"Yeah that's basically it" said Draco appearing out of no where. "My father installed it if he were ever on the run like we are".

"So how do we survive in here? Is there food or other people?" asked Ron.

"No, not really. My father never really got to building anything in his mansion; so basically, all we have is a large chunk of land mainly involving forest and a little bit of a tropical scene down south."

"So we have to live like primitives?" asked Ron astounded. Malfoy chuckled.

"We would if we weren't wizards" laughed Draco at his idiocy.

"Now here's a wet cloth for your head." Said Hermione nursing his head ache.

"Yeah... I kinda knocked your head a bit trying to land everybody safely from my house entrance to here. It's not an easy task." said Draco.

"S' ok" said Harry, "I've had worse" he said remembering every time his scar hurt at night. Draco grinned at him and Harry returned with a weak smile. The others left to prepare dinner but Hermione stayed to look after Harry.

He gazed into her eyes as she placed his head her lap. Harry never really noticed how amazing she was. She was smart and really pretty even though she was a late bloomer. He couldn't believe how much she had changed since the first time they met. She was helping poor Neville find his pet toad.

Flashback...

Ron had just raised his wand when the compartment door slid open again. The Neville boy was back, but this time he had a girl with him. She was already wearing her new Hogwarts robes.

"Has anyone seen a toad? Neville's lost one," she said. She had a bossy sort of voice, lots of bushy brown hair and rather large front teeth.

"We've already told him we hadn't seen it," said Ron. But the girl wasn't listening, she was looking at the wand in his hand.

"Oh, are you doing magic? Let's see it then." She sat down. Ron looked taken aback.

"Er... alright." He cleared his throat.

Sunshine daisies, butter mellow,

Turn this stupid fast rat yellow!

He waved his wand but nothing happened. Scabbers stayed gray but fast asleep.

"Are you sure that's a real spell?" said the girl.

"Well, it's not very good is it? Well, I've tried a few simple spells just for practice and it's all worked for me. Nobody in my family does magic at all, it was ever such a surprise when I got my letter, but I was ever so pleased, of course, I mean, it's the very best school of witchcraft there is. I hope it will be enough; I'm Hermione Granger. By the way, who are you?"

She said all of this very fast. Harry looked at Ron and was relieved to see by his stunned face that he hadn't learnt all the books off by heart either.

"I'm Ron Weasley" Ron muttered.

"Harry Potter" said Harry.

"Are you really?" asked Hermione, "I've read all about you of course; I got a few extra books of background reading and you're in Modern Magical History and The Rise and Fall of the Dark Arts and Great Wizarding Events of the 20th Century"

"I am?" said Harry feeling dazed.

"Goodness didn't you know? I'd have found out everything I could if it were me," said Hermione, "Do either of you know what house you'd be in? I've been asking around and I hope I'm in Griffindore, it sounds by far the best. I heard Dumbledore was one, but I suppose Ravenclaw wouldn't be too bad... Anyway, we'd better go and look for Neville's toad. You two had better change you know, I expect we'll be there soon." Taking the toadless boy with her.

End flashback...

Harry smiled as Hermione placed a newly wet cloth on his forehead.

"Thanks a lot" he muttered. But Hermione just cooed and placed a finger on his lips. "You need rest" she whispered. Harry's heart melted hearing her soft voice and gently closed his eyes slowly drifting into a dream still lying on Hermione's gentle lap.

Harry didn't know how long he had been asleep, but he knew for sure what woke him up. The voices of 2 of his oldest friends arguing, one of them being held back violently by 2 other friends. Harry opened his eyes only to find a very violent scene. Hermione was standing by a camp fire 3 feet away from Harry with heavy tears flooding down from her eyes. Ron was standing 5 feet away from her with his back to Harry being held back by the combined efforts of Draco and Ginny.
