Chapter 5- Meeting an Old Friend Again

Hermione just stared at Harry. Then, she finally said, "H-Harry. That's impossible. S-Sirius and your p-parents are....d-d-" "No they're not! They're alive! I know it!" yelled Harry. "Harry, V-Voldemort is messing with your mind," said Hermione. "NO! HE'S NOT! THEY ARE ALIVE, HERMIONE! I FEEL IT! I KNOW IT! THIS WAS A TRUE VISION!" screamed Harry. Hermione burst into more tears, shook her head and ran up to her old room. 'Why did I yell at her! Ugh! I'm such an idiot!' Harry thought to himself. He slowly walked up the stairs and stood in front of Hermione's room. He could hear her muffled cries. He knocked on the door. "Hermione?" he said softly. Harry leaned against the door. Silence. "Hermione? Come on, I know your in there. Please, I need to talk to you. I'm sorry. I- I just got carried away,"

There was still no answer. Harry sighed and walked quietly downstairs. He walked over to the phone and called his house. "Hello?" came Ginny's voice from the phone. "Ginny? It's Harry; can you please put Ron on the phone?" "Sure, hang on one minute," she replied. "Hello?" "Hey, Ron, it's Harry. It's OK; you don't need to come back. I need to sort some things out with Hermione," "Is everything alright, mate?" said Ron. "Yeah, everything's fine. I'll be back in a little while. Bye," he said. "Bye." Harry hung up the phone and walked back upstairs.

He knocked on Hermione's door once again. "Hermione, please, open up," he said. Still, there was silence. "Hermione, I'm coming in in 3 seconds. 1, 2, 3," He opened the door and walked in. Hermione was lying on her stomach on her bed. Her head was buried in her pillow. "Go away," said Hermione's angry muffled voice. "No, Hermione. I need to talk to you," said Harry. He walked over to Hermione's bed and sat down on it. He rubbed Hermione's back. "Stop it and get out of my room!" she yelled. "Hermione, please, I want to talk to you. C'mon, we need to talk," said Harry. "No! I already know how you feel. Don't even bother," Hermione said as she sat up, turning away from Harry.

Harry looked at the back of Hermione's head. They both sat in silence. "Now," started Hermione, "If you don't mind, I'd like you to leave," "I'm not leaving until we talk," said Harry coolly. "We are talking! Now get out!" she said coldly. "What's gotten into you, Hermione? What is wrong with you?" said Harry. "YOU! You are my problem, Harry!" yelled Hermione, turning to Harry and pointing a finger at him, "Happy now? Go away!" Harry ran a hand through his hair and left the room, with not even a glance at Hermione. "Harry?" Hermione said. She felt bad. By the time she got up and walked to her door, Harry was already downstairs on the couch.

She walked over to him and sat on the couch. "Harry, I'm sorry, I lost control," she calmly. Harry said nothing for a minute, continuing to stare at the cackling fire in front of him. "Do you remember the first time we met, Hermione?" Harry finally said. Hermione looked at him, confused. "Y- Yes, why?" she said. "And then the troll. You were in the girl's bathroom, crying because of Ron," said Harry, ignoring Hermione's last word. "Harry, why are you talking about all this?" Hermione asked. He shook his head. Before either one of them said anything else, the doorbell rang.

Hermione got up and walked to the door. When she opened it, a police officer appeared. "Hello," he said kindly, with a bit of sadness in his voice, "Are you Miss Hermione Granger?" he asked. "Yes, I am. Is there something wrong, officer?" Hermione said. "Yes, I'm afraid there is, Miss Granger. I'm afraid your mother, Helen Granger, has been killed," he said. He waited for Hermione's response. When he didn't get one back, he said "I'm terribly sorry, Miss Granger. She was found near a bar, in an alleyway. Another man was with her. He was dead as well. His name was Randy Castro. Are you familiar with him?" he kindly asked. Hermione stared at the officer. She nodded. A tear fell down her face. "Again, I am very sorry. If there is anything I can do for you, Miss Granger, I will glad to. Here is my card," he said, taking a business card out of his pocket and handing it to Hermione.

"Good-bye," he said, turning around and walking down the stairs to his car. Hermione shut the door. She leaned against it, her back against it and slid down, her head in her hands. "Hermione! What's wrong?" said a worried Harry, running over to Hermione. He sat down with her. "What is it?" he said. "T-They're g-g-gone! HE KILLED THEM! I'm going to k-kill him!" Hermione yelled. "Who's gone? Who killed who, Hermione?" said Harry. He had an idea of what she was talking about. "VOLDEMORT! HE KILLED MY MOTHER AND RANDY, HARRY!" Hermione yelled. "Oh my god, Hermione, I'm so sorry," said Harry, putting his arm around Hermione.

"Harry, you were right. I'm so sorry. Your vision was true. I should've believed you," Hermione sobbed, crying into Harry's shoulder. "Hermione," started Harry, "You have nothing to be sorry about. It wasn't your fault. We need to tell the others. C'mon,"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Oh, Hermione, we're so sorry, is there anything we can do for you?" said the others (Draco, Luna, Ron, Ginny, and Neville), after Harry and Hermione told them what happened. It was about 10:00 by that time. "No, I'm fine," Hermione replied. "Hermione, you better get some rest," said Harry. "Yeah, I know. Good night, guys," she said. "Good night," everyone replied back. (A/N: By the way, Ginny, Ron, and Neville went to their house while Hermione and Harry went to Helen's house. Luna and Draco went with the other 3. I should have added that, sorry!) Hermione slowly got up and walked up to her room.

"Well, I better get going," said Luna. "No, wait, you can stay over. I mean, that is of course, if you want to," said Ron, hoping Luna would stay. A big smile crossed Luna's face, and she said, "Sure!" Ron looked over to Draco. "Draco, you can stay over too, if you want," he said. Ron and Draco had really gotten along. So did the rest, except for Harry. Harry gaped at Ron. "Cool, thanks," Draco said as he smiled. Harry was shocked. That was probably the first time Harry saw an actual smile on Draco's face. Harry smiled to himself. I guess he's not so bad, he thought.

"Alright, you 2 can stay in the guest room. Or guest rooms, rather," said Neville. "OK," Luna and Draco replied. About 3 hours later, Hermione woke up. She quietly walked downstairs. She saw Draco on the couch, and sat next to him. "Hey," he said.

"Hi," she said back. Hermione cuddled up against Draco. He gave her a soft kiss. "Draco?" Hermione asked. "Yeah?" Draco said. "Should we tell the others?" "Tell them what?" he said in confusion. "About us," said Hermione. "I don't think so. It'll probably give them a big shock," Draco laughed. "Yeah, let's wait," replied Hermione. About a half hour later, Hermione fell asleep. Draco carried her up to her room. He tried not to make as much noise as possible, but Ginny woke up right when he was about to leave.

Ginny drew out her wand (that was under her pillow) and said "Stupefy!" aiming her wand at Draco (she could hear him, that's how she knew where he was). "Lumos!" she quickly muttered. "Oh! Draco, I'm sorry!" she whispered as she saw him, jumping off her bed and running to Draco. "I thought you were a burglar or something," she helped him up. "No problem," said Draco. "What are you doing in here anyway?" Ginny asked. "I was bringing Hermione up to bed. She fell asleep on me on the couch," Draco gasped at what he said. "I mean she fell asleep next to me on the couch," he said quickly.

He didn't know Hermione told Ginny about them kissing. "Draco," Ginny said, "I know already. Hermione told me you 2 kissed. And you like each other." Draco was relieved. "Oh," he said. "You aren't mad at Hermione, are you? For telling me, I mean," Ginny said. "No, it's OK. I'm kind of glad she told you. I wouldn't want her getting mad at me if I told you," replied Draco. "OK," said Ginny. There was silence for about a minute. "Well, I better get to bed," Draco finally said. "Yeah, same here. Night," said Ginny. "Good night,"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was 9:47 A.M. Harry awoke. He slowly got up, put his glasses on, and walked downstairs with his eyes closed. He found Draco and Hermione down there. "Hi guys," Harry yawned. "Hey, Harry," said Hermione. Draco simply smiled and said, "What would you like for breakfast?" Harry yawned again and said, "Um......I'll have pancakes I guess," Draco nodded and started breakfast. "So, did you have a good sleep?" Hermione asked Harry. He looked at her like she was from a different planet. "Yeah........" he said slowly. "Great!" said Hermione. Harry faked a smile. "I was going to ask Ginny if she wanted to go shopping or hang out or something. Anyone want to come?" Hermione asked all perky.

"Sure," said Draco. "Hermione, why are you acting all perky?" Harry asked, ignoring her question. "Oh, Harry, I haven't a clue what you mean. I'm not being perky," said Hermione. Harry looked at her suspiciously. "Er...OK...Yeah, I guess I'll come with you" said Harry. He gave Hermione the 'I need to talk to you alone' look, but she ignored it. "Here you go, Harry," Draco said, placing a plate of pancakes in front of Harry.

"Thanks, Drac," Harry said. After awhile, everyone was downstairs, eating. When they finished, Hermione asked if they wanted to all hang out. "Sure!" they all replied.

"Ron, can I talk to you for a minute?" Hermione asked. "OK," he replied, standing up and following Hermione in the living room. "Well, you see, Ron, Draco and I kind of...well, we're in a relationship," Hermione waited for Ron to respond. "Really? Hermione, that's not a bad thing," Ron laughed. Hermione sighed in relief. "Draco isn't so bad. And if you like him, that's great," Ron continued, smiling.

All of a sudden, Ron's smile faded into a frown. "Ron, what is it?" Hermione asked.

"Um...Hermione? I just thought of something. You know how you and Harry broke up?" Ron said. "Yeah," replied Hermione. "Well, he isn't over you yet. He still has a lot of feelings for you," Hermione felt like she was going to scream. "But, that's not all. Harry said he was going to ask you back out. He wanted to tell you tonight," They sat there in silence. "Ron, what do I do?! I mean, Harry would be heartbroken if I told him. Can you tell him for me? Please?" said Hermione.

"Sure," said Ron. They both walked back in the kitchen. "So, should we floo to a mall or something?" Neville asked. "Yeah, let's floo," Luna said.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They arrived at the mall soon after. They went in a few shops and bought things. Luckily they all new what muggle money was and had it for that matter! "I'm starving! Can we please get something to eat?" Ron complained. "You're always starving," Harry joked. "Well, I am a grown man. I need to eat!" said Ron. "OK, OK," laughed Hermione, "Let's get something at Taco Bell,"

"What the hell is a Taco Bell?" Draco asked. "Er....You'll see," said Hermione.

So they all ordered their food. Well, Hermione ordered for Ron, Ginny, and Draco since they were clueless of what a taco was. "Mmmmm...Pretty good!" said Luna. "Yeah, it isn't so bad," said Ginny. "OK, Hermione, Luna, we need to do some REAL shopping now!" Ginny exclaimed after they finished eating. The two girls laughed.

"Hey Harry, should we show Draco and Ron what an Xbox is?" Neville smirked. Draco and Ron exchanged looks and stared suspiciously at the other 2 boys. "Good idea," said Harry, smirking back. Everyone laughed. "Well I guess we can all meet back here?" said Luna. "Sure, we'll meet back in an hour!" said Harry.

"Bloody hell! Harry, you cheated!" yelled Ron. All the boys were playing Xbox games, while the girls were laughing and giggled at the boys. "Why are you laughing at us?" Ron finally asked. "Its funny hearing you boys curse each other!" Ginny giggled furiously. "You're drunk," Neville joked. "Only a little bit..." Hermione shot at him. They all laughed. All of a sudden....BOOM!

"What was that?" Hermione asked worried sick. "Dunno," said Draco, getting up and walking toward the front door. He looked through the peeking hole, grabbed his wand, and turned around so he was leaning on the door. He turned pale. "Draco, what is it?" Hermione said. "I-It's..." Draco didn't finish his sentence, he just pointed to the door. Hermione put her hand on her wand and walked towards Draco. She looked through the peeking hole.

A huge look of excitement crossed Hermione's face, and she opened the door. A man with greasy black and grey hair in ragged clothes stood at the door.

So, did ya like the chapter? I'm sure most of you can guess who was at the door....Anyway, send reviews!
