The Anti-Dementor
Chapter 2: The Discovery
Hermoine Granger is one of the smartest witches in history. Right now she was in her usual spot in the library with her nose stuck deep inside an ancient book that she had inadvertently come across. The book was on the history of the guards of Azkaban, the Dementors. It showed the history and how and why they were originally created. She had just come across a small passage in the middle of the book on the Anti-Dementors, which is what comes about from the souls of the persons that become Dementors. The AD are the antitheses of the Dementors, in that they take away the bad thoughts, and memories of people, instead of the happy thoughts and memories. Now Hermoine being a person who is always interested in learning more about things, went to try to find anything and everything she could about the AD, but so far she hasn't found anything more about them. She figured that if she was going to find anything else out about them, she would have to go to the Headmasters' private library to find it. So she left the library immediately and went to the Headmasters' office. Being the Head Girl, she already new the password to get to his office. When she got to the gargoyles, she said the password, "lemon drops," and went upstairs. When she knocked on the door, she heard, "come in Ms. Granger," she heard the headmaster say. When she walked in, she found her two best friends, and her boyfriend sitting in there as if they were waiting for her.
"Professor, what is you all doing here. I was just coming up to ask you about something that I had found. What do you know about the Anti-Dementors? Do you think that they might be able to help? What can they do?" Hermoine has a lot of questions that just seemed to pop into her mind.
"Yes Ms. Granger, you do have quite a few questions, and the rest are here because Harry had a dream about the same thing you are talking about. I have a suggestion that might help you find out about them and maybe help Harry out. I will allow you full access to all libraries at Hogwarts, and you can ask any questions that you have to me. I would suggest that you contact the Unspeakable for information about it. But you probably not get any info from them. Good luck and have fun with it. This will be considered your 7th year project. This will also help you with what you all plan to do after school. This will be along with all your other studies, so good luck. You will be all living in separate quarters from the rest of your classmates, and I know that two of you already are, for being head boy and girl, but this will be different. Good luck again." Dumbledore said with a twinkle in his blue eyes.
Harry voiced the one concern that they all had, "but professor, how can we do that, isn't that like putting the sheep in the lions den so to speak. I mean we're not really the best people to have running around with basically a free will card if you know what I mean. Look at it this way, we will be able to go into any and all restricted areas of the school, and study stuff that wasn't meant for students to study." The whole group nodded at this.
"I know what I am doing with this Harry. You four have proven yourself trustworthy, and shown that you can and will do anything that needs to be done. Now shall I show you where you will now be bunking."
Dumbledore led them out of his office an down a long unused corridor up to the 6th floor. They stop in front of a portrait of the seal of Hogwarts, with a lion chasing a serpent. "This is your new dorm room, the password right now is "trust", but you can change it to your pleasure." Dumbledore led them in, and to there surprise, there was a huge common room with desks for each of them, couches, fireplace, chairs and book shelves that line the walls full of books of all descriptions. There were 2 doors leading out of the room, and when the students looked to Dumbledore with a weird look on there face, he said. "Well I already know that you four sleep together with your match ups, so we thought that you would like to be together here anyways. I also see that you have already gotten engaged, so I suggest that you might want to get married and make the living arrangements legal." Dumbledore said with a wink.
So the next week was spent making wedding arrangements, and having the wedding. The couples spent the honeymoons one weekend at Hogmeade, and enjoyed themselves very much.
A/N: Yes I know that this is AU, but it is interesting to say the least. Please r/r the story. For the fans of my other fic, Candlelight Dinner, I am working on chapter three, and should have it up by the end of the week. I would thank my reviewers, but at this time I haven't had any. Everyone have a great day and happy holidays. -Donald
