They found Harry underneath a weeping willow just by the lake, completely soaked in. It had taken them quite a while to find him due to that once he was three feet ahead of them the rain had covered him like a blanket and he had blended in with the night.
Calling out his name they had searched, and for every minute that passed it felt like hours, feeling how the rain came crashing down more and more for every moment, once in a while the sky burst out in light as a flash came down, following by deafening thunder.
And it was during one such strike of lightening that Hermione saw him, a pile that had crawled up into a little ball, and during that flash of light Hermione felt her own heart stop beating.
He didn't respond at their calls at him, not even once they had found him. The eyes were just closed shut as he was leaned against the massive trunk, and when they shook him to get him to wake up there was no response, even though Hermione's shakes became frantic he wouldn't stirr, just lay in that heap.
"HARRY!" she screamed, then suddenly came to the conclusion of that they had to get him indoors, starting to drag him back towards the castle, managing to get Ron to carry his feet.
At that point they both had forgotten all about magic, they just fought their way back to the castle quickly, carrying the unmoving body that was Harry Potter.
Tears streamed down Hermione's cheeks and Ron looked as if he was going through hell and back when they after long last managed to get the soaking body of Harry Potter indoors.
Now Hermione was usually placed towards being cold and precise about things, but once they had placed Harry down on the floor she sprinted into the Great Hall, flunging the doors open, panic evident in her eyes.
"PROFESSOR DUMBLEDORE!" She shouted, unaware of that all the talk suddenly stopped as if somebody had turned off a light-switch. A soaked in Hermione Granger was shouting to the Headmaster, seemingly unaware of everything else as she came closer to stop dead a few steps in front of the Head table. "H. H-he is dead" she stuttered.
The grieve in her eyes, the emotions stirring in her made her unable to finish the sentence, but the Headmaster had as in a miracle understood everything and had risen off his chair by the Head table, moving faster than light towards from where she had come.
"Madam Pomfrey, follow me, please," he said curtly, leaving Hermione standing there, the girl too shocked to do anything.
She then felt how the world started spinning and darkened out, knowing that now that the message had been delivered, she was no longer in need of her body anymore. And thus she fell to the floor, in peace with herself after all.
By the time the teachers reached her body she was already long gone, eyes closed.
AN: Thank you everyone who reviewed (except for louievuttion-baby that is).
Lampshadesrgreat, pardon for that I didn't write anything during the first chapter, had too little time while writing at that point.
Nyoka Li, I thank you greatly. Please don't flame her on my account, she doesn't know better than to complain at things she doesn't understand. But I will consider e-mailing you to see my personal idea at her review ;)
Gray-rose, thanks a lot. I try my hardest to write good English as it is not my natural tongue. It's not a Mary-Sue, I just happen to fancy the name Moranna. If you take a closer look at my name you'll see that it spells with one 'n' and Kravano. I'll see if she'll become a large part of the plot, it depends on how I twist out chapter 4 (Darkness and light). My best friend is going nuts at me as he tries to make me change some things that are just too much (I still want to keep them :P ). And I don't let myself be taken by flames, I just tend to shrug them off.
Potterluva, Not much to say to you but 'thanks'.
Zoomaphonethepirate: I too was crying for Harry while writing these first chapters and I actually based them on a thing that happened to a friend of mine (may she rest in peace). Yes, there are a lot of slashers on this site (thank heavens for that), and obviously louievuitton-baby is not one of them, and thus should keep her little ass away from here. Thanks for adding it to your favourites :) It means a lot to me.
