Thank you for all the wonderful reviews! Sorry it took so long to update. Thanks again to my beta!
Hermione burst into the hospital wing. "Harry!" she said and ran over to his bed.
Lupin looked up from the chair he was sitting at next to Harry's bed. "Hermione is everything okay?" he asked, giving her a worried look.
"I don't know! I had these feelings that he needed me. I was with my mum and Dudley and my pendants began to glow. "She said looking down at the still glowing pendant." Is he okay? Please tell me he is okay." she said sitting on the edge of his bed as she began running her hand through his hair.
"Harry?" Ron yelled breathlessly as he burst in to the hospital wing. "Is he okay? What's going on?" He said and ran over next to Hermione.
"I don't know. I was just telling Lupin what happen. I was with my mum and Dudley and it started glowing." Hermione said giving his hand a gentle squeeze.
"Yeah mine did the same thing. I was talking to Luna and mum when they both screamed and started pointing at me. I though I was on fire or something." He said laying a hand on Hermione's shoulder.
Lupin began to stand up from his chair. "I think that Harry called you two here you are all connected because of the pendants." he said looking at them. They were now softly glowing, but Lupin could tell they were loosing the glow. "I should leave to two of you with him. He obviously wants you guys around." He said moving closer to the door.
"NO!" Hermione yelled. "He wants you here too. Don't leave him."
"Hermione you are a sweet girl, but he doesn't want me here. He called for you two." Lupin said moving closer to the hospital door.
"He would of called for you as well but you where already here."
"Hermione, how do you know he wants Lupin here?" Ron said
Hermione stopped for a minutes to gather her thoughts, she wasn't sure how to explain what just happen. *Had I really heard what Harry's was thinking?* she though. "I am not sure, but I think he told me. I don't know how to explain it, as soon as Lupin said he was going to leave I could feel Harry get upset and I think I heard him say ' Please don't go, I need my family here'"
Lupin turned and looked at Hermione, Ron, and Harry. "He has all the family he needs."
"No he doesn't." Ron said and walked over to Lupin. "I don't know if Hermione really did hear Harry say that, but I did feel the panic and him getting upset when you said that. He knows you are here and he wants you to stay. Do it for Harry, maybe it will help him wake up."
Lupin looked around the room and sighed. "I guess it won't hurt if I did. I am just going to go lie down for awhile." He said and walked over to the far bed near the window and lay down.
Ron looked back at Hermione. "Can you really hear what he is thinking?"
"I think so. He is really glad that we are here and he is trying to wake up, he really wants to but he can't." Hermione said.
"Can you talk back to him?"
"I don't know. I haven't tried yet." she said as Mrs. Granger and Dudley walked in the room.
"Is he okay?" Mrs. Granger said walking over to the bed.
"I think so, he just wanted us here. He's glad you are here too." Hermione said looking at her mum. "And you too Dudley" she said looking and a very confused and upset Dudley.
"How do you know that dear?" Mrs. Granger said.
"She can hear what he is thinking." Lupin said getting up from the bed and walked over next to Mrs. Granger.
"Remus I didn't know you were here. It is so good to see you." Mrs. Granger said with a small smile.
"It is good to see you again as well. I hope you are enjoying the castle."
"Oh yes very much. Hermione showed us around earlier today. I must say that she has led a pretty exciting life here."
"Yes she has, and I have a feeling this will be the most interesting year yet." Lupin and looking the most happy and relax he has looked in months.
Hermione noticed the look in Lupin's face when he was talking to her mum, she also noticed a slight twinkle in her mum's eye that she hasn't seen since her dad died.
*It's okay Mione. Don't worry about you mum and Lupin.* She heard Harry say.
Hermione jumped at the sound of Harry's voice and looked down at him hoping to see him awake, but wasn't.
*Harry is that you?* Hermione though
*Yes it is. I didn't mean to scare you. I've been trying to talk to you for a few days, I am glad that I finally can.*
*I've been unconscious until last night.*
*I know.*
*Are you okay Harry? I wish you would wake up. I miss you.*
*I am trying love.*
*I have to tell Ron I am talking to you! He misses you too. We all do.*
*I know. I can hear what he is thinking too. Don't tell him yet, I want him to learn on his own.*
"Ron he can hear me! He's going to just fine!" she said jumping up from the bed and giving Ron and hug.
"Is he really?" Dudley said in the corner of the room.
Hermione looked over at Dudley and smiled. "He is. He is trying to wake up. He knows we all need him." Hermione said with a smile.
Dudley took a deep breath and let it out. "Good." Dudley smiled again and yawned. "I think I am going to go back to my room. I am really tired."
"Don't go. He wants you to stay. There are plenty of beds here." Hermione said. "He wants all of us to stay."
Mrs. Granger looked around the room. "We are one bed short."
"Mum if I would be okay, I would like to sleep in Harry's bed. That way we would have enough."
Lupin was about to say that he could transfigure one of the chairs into a bed but he saw the look Hermione and Ron was giving him. "I don't think it would be a problem, they have done it before, and they will be in a room full of other people."
"I guess it will be okay." She said looking at he daughter.
"Thank you mum." Hermione said and crawled into bed next to Harry laying her head on his chest.
*Good night love.*She thought.
*Good night Mione. I will be back with you soon. I love you.'*
*You better.* She said and kissed him on the lips briefly.
Harry laughed. *I miss you so much. I am sorry I put you through all of this. I do not deserve you.*
*No you don't deserve me, but I don't deserve you either. So I guess that cancels each other out.*
*You are a clever one.*
*So I've been told.*
They were both silent for several minutes before Harry spoke *Hermione it's coming soon. It's going to be hard, and many won't survive.'*
*I know. It will be okay Harry. You will defeat him.*
*No I won't, but we will; you, Ron, and me. I don't know how yet, but it has to do with the pendants.*
*How do you know?*
*I've been having dreams or visions. I am not sure what they are, but I can see the battle and I can see people fighting. It will be in the forbidden forest, He will come one night during winter, I don't know when. He is going to try to take you away from me, but I won't let him. You know that right; I will do anything to make sure none will ever hurt you.*
*I know.* She said and kissed his check.
*He doesn't get you the. He keeps on trying but every time he gets close to you he screams in pain. I don't know why. He leaves you alone and tries to get Ron, but that doesn't work either. He gets really frustrated and upset and begin killing anyone around him. Even his own followers, people start to retreat, and soon it's just me, you, Ron, and Voldemort. This is where it always changes. I don't know what will happen when he gets us alone, but one thing stays the same. The pendants start to glow. Sometimes he kills one of us, other times we kill him and once he killed all three. I don't know how it will end, but after that night nothing will be the same. I know this is hard to understand. I know it will take sometime to get use to, but the end is near Hermione. I will do everything I can to make sure that all three of us get out of there alive.*
*So will I, and Ron. We will kill him Harry. We will stop the war, and we will have the future we deserve.*
*You always know what to say to make me feel better. I would kiss you know, but I can't move. Mione, if I don't wake up soon you will have to tell Dumbledore what is going to happen. He needs to know soon.*
*I will. I will tell Ron in the morning if you are not up after dinner Ron and I will tell him. I love you Harry.*
*I love you too, now get some rest.* He said to her and listened to her drift off into sleep.
Hermione awoke the next morning to the sound of Ron yelling.
"Bloody Hell!" he said jumping out of his bed and running over to Hermione and Harry's bed. "Hermione get up!" he said and began shaking her.
"Ron what in the world are you doing?" she said still half asleep.
"I can hear him! I can hear you!" he yelled.
"What are you talking about?" Hermione said sitting up in bed carefully making sure she doesn't push Harry off the bed.
"I was sleeping and having a wonderful dream when it turned into you and Harry. You were talking to each other. I could see you both and I was yelling to get your guy's attention but I couldn't. I walked right over to you guys and yelled again, but I still couldn't get your attention. Then... " Ron said turning bright red and looking around the room to see if anyone was listening. Luckily they were the only ones in the room.
"Ron what is it?" Hermione said looking very confused.
Ron turned around. He couldn't look at her when he said it. "Like I said I couldn't get your attention and you guys continued talking. Then you guys started snogging, and then it turned into little more than snogging." Ron said with his back still to Hermione.
Hermione didn't know what Ron meant at first. "What do you mean Ron? A little more than... OH!" Hermione said turning as red as Ron was. "I am sorry Ron."
*Ron* Harry said.
Ron jumped and turned to look at Harry. "Harry" he said out loud.
"He didn't say anything." Hermione said trying to hide her bright red face.
"I just heard him say my name."
Hermione smiled. "Talk to him in your head."
"What?" Ron said looking at her like she was going nutters.
"He's been trying to talk to you, talk back to him."
*Hermione is going nutters. Harry better wake up soon or we will have to send her to St. Mungo's with that bloke Lockhart.* Ron thought
*She is not going nutters you git!* Harry said.
Ron jumped again. *Harry?*
*It's about time you listened to me! I've been trying to talk to you for days.*
*Sorry Harry.*
*Don't worry about it. Now about that dream....*
*I am sorry! I don't know how that happen. I didn't mean to honestly Harry.*
*I know. It was my dream Ron.*
*Yours?* Ron and Hermione said together.
*Hermione?* Harry and Ron said.
*Sorry! I didn't mean to hear what you to were saying, it just kind of happened.*
*It's okay. But like I was saying that was my dream. I don't know what is going on. We can all talk to each other telepathically, and Ron can see in to my dreams. This is all getting a little spooky.*
*I know.* Ron said looking puzzlingly at Hermione.
Hermione gave him the same look back. * I think we should talk to Dumbledore about this and what we talked about last night Harry.*
*What did you talk about?* Ron asked.
Hermione and Harry both took there turns telling Ron about the dreams Harry has been having.
*I've been having ones like that too! I didn't think to tell anyone, I just thought I was getting nervous about this all coming to an end.* Ron said.
*We really need to talk to Dumbledore* Hermione said.
*You guys go; I will be here when you get back.*
Hermione looked down at Harry and smiled. *I wish you could come with us.*
*Me too. Now go.* Harry said.
*Maybe we could get Dumbledore to come down here and we could tell him. At least you would be here.* Ron said
*It's a good idea, but I don't think it would be wise. We don't know how safe it is in here. Dumbledore's office would be the safest place.* Harry said.
Hermione bent down and kissed Harry briefly on the lips. *We will be back shortly.*
*See ya soon mate!* Ron said as they both left the hospital wing.
Hermione and Ron made there way towards Dumbledore's office not talking. They both stopped in front of Dumbledore's office.
"How are we going to get in? We don't have the password." Hermione said
"Too bad Harry isn't here he can just say his name and get in."
Hermione stared at the gargoyle then she smiled and placed her hand on the gargoyle.
"Hermione what are you doing?" Ron asked.
"Shh!" she said
*Harry we are outside Dumbledore office. Can you say your name? I want to see if this
will work.* she though.
*Harry James Potter* He said, but it didn't open.
"Ron put your hand on here too." Hermione said.
Ron rolled her eyes and did what she asked.
*Say it again Harry. Please.* Hermione asked
*No problem. Harry James Potter*
The gargoyle sprang into life and soon the stairs leading up to Dumbledore's office
emerged.
Hermione smiled. *Thank you love.*
*Bloody hell!* Ron said. *I hope there is a way we can control this! I don't know if I can handle listening to you guys all the time!*
Hermione and Harry just laughed, as Ron and Hermione made there way into the office.
"I didn't know you were up Mr. Potter." Dumbledore said with his back turned to them.
"He's not sir." Hermione said.
"We don't mean to interrupt you sir, but we really need to talk to you." Ron said taking a seat across from Dumbledore's desk.
"I see." he said and sat down at his desk.
Hermione sat down next to Ron and began explaining the events of last night and this
morning to Dumbledore.
After she was done Hermione looked up at her headmaster to see him smiling.
"Excellent. I was hoping this would happen soon and not a moment to soon." Dumbledore said.
"What is happening?" Ron asked.
"The pendants are starting to work. We only told you the basic powers; honestly we didn't know what the others would be. I am very pleased with what they are." he said getting up from his desk and walking over to one of his many book shelves and picking one out. "I believe this book will help you understand the potential of your pendants. Each wearer of the pendants evoked a different power. Usually each will just get one, but it looks like you three will be having several powers." he said handing the book to Hermione who instantly opened it up and began reading it.
*Ron ask Dumbledore if there is a way he can help me wake up. I can't do it on my own. Something is stopping me.*
"Professor. Harry wants to know if you can help him wake up. He says there is something stopping him."
"I though that would happen. Poppy and Snape are preparing a potion that will help him wake up; it should be ready in a few hours."
Hermione looked up from the book with a huge grin on her face. "He will be up in a few hours?"
"Yes Mrs. Granger."
Hermione smile grew even wider. "And he will be back to normal?"
"As far as we know, he may be weak for the next few days, but he should be just fine."
"Oh thank Merlin!" Hermione said.
"Professor. Did you find out what Percy tried to do to Harry?"
"Ah yes we did. He was trying to put a very old form of the Imperious curse on him. One that is not very easy to fight off, but luckily he was able to stop him before it happen. We also extracted several other very unfriendly curses that were in him."
*I am so sorry Harry* Ron though
*It's okay Ron, please don't worry about it. Its over with. I am fine, and Percy won't be able to hurt anyone ever again.*
"Professor, do you think these curses were blocking the pendants powers?"
"I believe so. I was expecting these new powers to emerge sooner and that Harry and
Ron's auror training would go faster, as well as Harry's wand less magic training."
"Wand less magic?" Hermione said.
*I was going to tell you! I am sorry Hermione!* Harry said.
*It's okay Harry.*Hermione said
"Mr. Potter has been having training sessions with me since the middle of last year, after he mastered occlumency."
*I found out your secret!* Hermione teased.
*Yes you did. Now you have to tell me what your mum and you were talking about this summer.*
*I do not!* Hermione said.
"Professor is there a way we can turn off the talking in my head? I don't know how much more I can stand of there lovely-dovey banter." Ron said sounding a little annoyed.
Dumbledore let out a slight chuckle "There is. All you have to do is say the person's name followed by adfectio-onis"
"Thank you sir." Ron said sounding and looking very relived.
"But I must warn you to be careful when you do so. Let the other person, or persons know before you do. And when you want this power to be re-evoked just say the same thing again."
"What if there is an emergency and we need to get a hold of that person is there a way?" Hermione asked
"Not that I know of. The book might have something that can help with that."
"Thank you professor. I think I am going to go back down to Harry and read for awhile. What time will the potion be ready?"
"I will let you know when it is time. I am going to go check on it now." Dumbledore said standing up from his chair.
Ron and Hermione followed in Dumbledore's action. "Thank you sir." Ron said and followed Hermione out the door.
"I am going to go find Luna and the other and tell them about the potion. I will come back to the hospital wing after I tell them."
"Okay. Bye Ron."
"Hermione do you want something to eat as well? I was going to go grab some breakfast from the kitchen ."
"No I'm not all that hungry."
"Okay then. I will be back soon."
"Bye Ron." Hermione said and walked in the opposite direction as Ron.
*Ron would you get something for Hermione? I don't think she has eating very much in the last few days.* Harry asked.
*Sure mate.* Ron said and he tickled the pear and walked in to kitchen.
Hermione made her way back to the hospital wing and curled up on the bed next to Harry. *I know you asked Ron to bring me something.*
*Don't be mad love; I am just worried about you. You haven't eaten anything since you woke up.*
*I'm not mad, maybe a little annoyed.* she said and kissed him on the cheek. *Thank you for caring.*
*I wish I could kiss you back. That is the first thing I am going to do when they give me that potion.*
*How did you know about the potion?*
*I can hear what you and Ron say. Can't you hear what Ron is saying?*
Hermione tied to concentrate on if Ron was saying anything. *No I can't.*
*I wonder if there is anything in the book about it.*
*Maybe. Want me to read to you?*
*I would love that.*
Hermione smiled and began reading to book to Harry. After an hour of reading Ron came back to the hospital wing with Luna, Ginny, Victor, Mrs. Weasley, Mr. Weasley, Bill, Charlie, Lupin, Dumbledore, Madame Pomfrey, and Snape.
*My family.* Harry thought.
Hermione looked up from the book and smiled. "Is it time?"
"Yes it is." Ron said smiling at Hermione and Harry. *You really think of all of them as your family? Even Snape?* he asked.
*I do. You can't like everyone in your family, besides he is slowly getting better.* Harry said.
Hermione gave Harry's hand a squeeze and got up from the bed.
"Now everyone stand back and give me some room." Madame Pomfrey said pulling a small vile from her robe. "This may now taste very good Mr. Potter but it will help you." she said and un-corked the bottle and held it to his lips and slowly poured it down his throat.
Hermione stood next to Ron and grabbed his hand. *Please work* she said over and over in her head. She couldn't look. She was so scared it wouldn't work and he would be lost forever.
The potion made its way down Harry's throat and began working its way in to his system. Soon Harry could moves his toes. *Thank you Merlin, it's working!*
Hermione opened her eyes when she heard him say that. Ron and Hermione both looked at his left toes, they were wiggling happily under his blanket. Hermione laughed. "I've never been so happy to see toes wiggling."
Ron laughed as well. "Either have I."
Soon Harry have movement in his lower body. He pulled his legs up towards them and pushed them back down on the bed.
Hermione laughed again and began to cry. Soon she saw his left thumb move. "His thumb! I saw it move!"
"Me too!" said Dudley who was now standing next to Hermione and was equally excited about the thumb moving.
"It's just his thumb" Snape said
"Quite!" Lupin yelled. "At least your damn potion is working or you would have to deal with me!'"
"Look! his head is moving!" Mrs. Granger said
Hermione ran over next to Harry. "Open your eyes Harry. Please open your eyes." she said and she knelt down next to his bed and turned his face to look at her. "Open your eyes!" she pleaded and soon saw his eyes flutter open.
"Her... Hermione." Harry said and opened his eyes for the first time. "Hermione!"
"Harry!" she said and began crying more.
Harry lifted his hand and wiped away her tears. "Don't cry love I am back and I am not going anywhere."
Hermione dropped her head to Harry chest and began to cry even harder.
Harry wrapped his arms around Hermione and pulled her onto the bed next to him. *It's okay my love. I am not going anywhere ever again*
"Harry how do you feel? Any pain?" Madame Pomfrey asked.
"None at all. I feel fine, just like before." he said looking around the room at the smiling people in front of him. "I am so glad you are all here."
"We are glad you are back." Mrs. Granger said walking over and giving him a hug, followed my Mrs. Weasly, Mr. Weasly, Ginny, Luna, Ron, and Dudley. Victor shock his hand and mumbled something in Bulgarian. McGonagall welcomed him back and gave him a smile. Everyone stayed and talked to Harry for an hour before Madame Pomfrey ushered everyone out so Harry could get some rest. Hermione had fallen asleep and Harry's chest and was still there after everyone left, except Lupin. He stood next to the window.
"I am glad you are still here" Harry said shifting Hermione to get a little more comfortable.
Lupin didn't respond he just continued to look at the window.
"I wish you would talk to me. I am sorry if I did something to upset you."
"I'm not mad at you." Lupin said and turned around and walked over near Harry. "I'm upset with myself."
Harry looked shocked. "For what? You haven't done anything."
"I know." he said and ran out of the room.
"LUPIN!" he yelled, but it was no use. Harry knew he wasn't going to come back.
Hermione burst into the hospital wing. "Harry!" she said and ran over to his bed.
Lupin looked up from the chair he was sitting at next to Harry's bed. "Hermione is everything okay?" he asked, giving her a worried look.
"I don't know! I had these feelings that he needed me. I was with my mum and Dudley and my pendants began to glow. "She said looking down at the still glowing pendant." Is he okay? Please tell me he is okay." she said sitting on the edge of his bed as she began running her hand through his hair.
"Harry?" Ron yelled breathlessly as he burst in to the hospital wing. "Is he okay? What's going on?" He said and ran over next to Hermione.
"I don't know. I was just telling Lupin what happen. I was with my mum and Dudley and it started glowing." Hermione said giving his hand a gentle squeeze.
"Yeah mine did the same thing. I was talking to Luna and mum when they both screamed and started pointing at me. I though I was on fire or something." He said laying a hand on Hermione's shoulder.
Lupin began to stand up from his chair. "I think that Harry called you two here you are all connected because of the pendants." he said looking at them. They were now softly glowing, but Lupin could tell they were loosing the glow. "I should leave to two of you with him. He obviously wants you guys around." He said moving closer to the door.
"NO!" Hermione yelled. "He wants you here too. Don't leave him."
"Hermione you are a sweet girl, but he doesn't want me here. He called for you two." Lupin said moving closer to the hospital door.
"He would of called for you as well but you where already here."
"Hermione, how do you know he wants Lupin here?" Ron said
Hermione stopped for a minutes to gather her thoughts, she wasn't sure how to explain what just happen. *Had I really heard what Harry's was thinking?* she though. "I am not sure, but I think he told me. I don't know how to explain it, as soon as Lupin said he was going to leave I could feel Harry get upset and I think I heard him say ' Please don't go, I need my family here'"
Lupin turned and looked at Hermione, Ron, and Harry. "He has all the family he needs."
"No he doesn't." Ron said and walked over to Lupin. "I don't know if Hermione really did hear Harry say that, but I did feel the panic and him getting upset when you said that. He knows you are here and he wants you to stay. Do it for Harry, maybe it will help him wake up."

"I think so. He is really glad that we are here and he is trying to wake up, he really wants to but he can't." Hermione said.
"Can you talk back to him?"
"I don't know. I haven't tried yet." she said as Mrs. Granger and Dudley walked in the room.
"Is he okay?" Mrs. Granger said walking over to the bed.
"I think so, he just wanted us here. He's glad you are here too." Hermione said looking at her mum. "And you too Dudley" she said looking and a very confused and upset Dudley.
"How do you know that dear?" Mrs. Granger said.
"She can hear what he is thinking." Lupin said getting up from the bed and walked over next to Mrs. Granger.
"Remus I didn't know you were here. It is so good to see you." Mrs. Granger said with a small smile.
"It is good to see you again as well. I hope you are enjoying the castle."
"Oh yes very much. Hermione showed us around earlier today. I must say that she has led a pretty exciting life here."
"Yes she has, and I have a feeling this will be the most interesting year yet." Lupin and looking the most happy and relax he has looked in months.
Hermione noticed the look in Lupin's face when he was talking to her mum, she also noticed a slight twinkle in her mum's eye that she hasn't seen since her dad died.
*It's okay Mione. Don't worry about you mum and Lupin.* She heard Harry say.

"Don't go. He wants you to stay. There are plenty of beds here." Hermione said. "He wants all of us to stay."
Mrs. Granger looked around the room. "We are one bed short."
"Mum if I would be okay, I would like to sleep in Harry's bed. That way we would have enough."
Lupin was about to say that he could transfigure one of the chairs into a bed but he saw the look Hermione and Ron was giving him. "I don't think it would be a problem, they have done it before, and they will be in a room full of other people."
"I guess it will be okay." She said looking at he daughter.

*Good night love.*She thought.

*You better.* She said and kissed him on the lips briefly.
Harry laughed. *I miss you so much. I am sorry I put you through all of this. I do not deserve you.*
*No you don't deserve me, but I don't deserve you either. So I guess that cancels each other out.*
*You are a clever one.*
*So I've been told.*
They were both silent for several minutes before Harry spoke *Hermione it's coming soon. It's going to be hard, and many won't survive.'*
*I know. It will be okay Harry. You will defeat him.*
*No I won't, but we will; you, Ron, and me. I don't know how yet, but it has to do with the pendants.*
*How do you know?*
*I've been having dreams or visions. I am not sure what they are, but I can see the battle and I can see people fighting. It will be in the forbidden forest, He will come one night during winter, I don't know when. He is going to try to take you away from me, but I won't let him.

*I love you too, now get some rest.* He said to her and listened to her drift off into sleep.
Hermione awoke the next morning to the sound of Ron yelling.
"Bloody Hell!" he said jumping out of his bed and running over to Hermione and Harry's bed. "Hermione get up!" he said and began shaking her.
"Ron what in the world are you doing?" she said still half asleep.
"I can hear him! I can hear you!" he yelled.
"What are you talking about?" Hermione said sitting up in bed carefully making sure she doesn't push Harry off the bed.
"I was sleeping and having a wonderful dream when it turned into you and Harry. You were talking to each other. I could see you both and I was yelling to get your guy's attention but I couldn't. I walked right over to you guys and yelled again, but I still couldn't get your attention. Then... " Ron said turning bright red and looking around the room to see if anyone was listening. Luckily they were the only ones in the room.
"Ron what is it?" Hermione said looking very confused.
Ron turned around. He couldn't look at her when he said it. "Like I said I couldn't get your attention and you guys continued talking. Then you guys started snogging, and then it turned into little more than snogging." Ron said with his back still to Hermione.
Hermione didn't know what Ron meant at first. "What do you mean Ron? A little more than... OH!" Hermione said turning as red as Ron was. "I am sorry Ron."
*Ron* Harry said.
Ron jumped and turned to look at Harry. "Harry" he said out loud.
"He didn't say anything." Hermione said trying to hide her bright red face.
"I just heard him say my name."
Hermione smiled. "Talk to him in your head."
"What?" Ron said looking at her like she was going nutters.
"He's been trying to talk to you, talk back to him."
*Hermione is going nutters. Harry better wake up soon or we will have to send her to St. Mungo's with that bloke Lockhart.* Ron thought
*She is not going nutters you git!* Harry said.
Ron jumped again. *Harry?*
*It's about time you listened to me! I've been trying to talk to you for days.*
*Sorry Harry.*
*Don't worry about it. Now about that dream....*
*I am sorry! I don't know how that happen. I didn't mean to honestly Harry.*
*I know. It was my dream Ron.*
*Yours?* Ron and Hermione said together.
*Hermione?* Harry and Ron said.
*Sorry! I didn't mean to hear what you to were saying, it just kind of happened.*
*It's okay. But like I was saying that was my dream. I don't know what is going on. We can all talk to each other telepathically, and Ron can see in to my dreams. This is all getting a little spooky.*
*I know.* Ron said looking puzzlingly at Hermione.
Hermione gave him the same look back. * I think we should talk to Dumbledore about this and what we talked about last night Harry.*
*What did you talk about?* Ron asked.
Hermione and Harry both took there turns telling Ron about the dreams Harry has been having.
*I've been having ones like that too! I didn't think to tell anyone, I just thought I was getting nervous about this all coming to an end.* Ron said.
*We really need to talk to Dumbledore* Hermione said.
*You guys go; I will be here when you get back.*
Hermione looked down at Harry and smiled. *I wish you could come with us.*
*Me too. Now go.* Harry said.
*Maybe we could get Dumbledore to come down here and we could tell him. At least you would be here.* Ron said
*It's a good idea, but I don't think it would be wise. We don't know how safe it is in here. Dumbledore's office would be the safest place.* Harry said.
Hermione bent down and kissed Harry briefly on the lips. *We will be back shortly.*
*See ya soon mate!* Ron said as they both left the hospital wing.
Hermione and Ron made there way towards Dumbledore's office not talking. They both stopped in front of Dumbledore's office.
"How are we going to get in? We don't have the password." Hermione said
"Too bad Harry isn't here he can just say his name and get in."
Hermione stared at the gargoyle then she smiled and placed her hand on the gargoyle.
"Hermione what are you doing?" Ron asked.
"Shh!" she said
*Harry we are outside Dumbledore office. Can you say your name? I want to see if this
will work.* she though.
*Harry James Potter* He said, but it didn't open.
"Ron put your hand on here too." Hermione said.
Ron rolled her eyes and did what she asked.
*Say it again Harry. Please.* Hermione asked
*No problem. Harry James Potter*
The gargoyle sprang into life and soon the stairs leading up to Dumbledore's office
emerged.
Hermione smiled. *Thank you love.*
*Bloody hell!* Ron said. *I hope there is a way we can control this! I don't know if I can handle listening to you guys all the time!*
Hermione and Harry just laughed, as Ron and Hermione made there way into the office.
"I didn't know you were up Mr. Potter." Dumbledore said with his back turned to them.
"He's not sir." Hermione said.
"We don't mean to interrupt you sir, but we really need to talk to you." Ron said taking a seat across from Dumbledore's desk.
"I see." he said and sat down at his desk.
Hermione sat down next to Ron and began explaining the events of last night and this
morning to Dumbledore.
After she was done Hermione looked up at her headmaster to see him smiling.
"Excellent. I was hoping this would happen soon and not a moment to soon." Dumbledore said.
"What is happening?" Ron asked.
"The pendants are starting to work. We only told you the basic powers; honestly we didn't know what the others would be. I am very pleased with what they are." he said getting up from his desk and walking over to one of his many book shelves and picking one out. "I believe this book will help you understand the potential of your pendants. Each wearer of the pendants evoked a different power. Usually each will just get one, but it looks like you three will be having several powers." he said handing the book to Hermione who instantly opened it up and began reading it.
*Ron ask Dumbledore if there is a way he can help me wake up. I can't do it on my own. Something is stopping me.*
"Professor. Harry wants to know if you can help him wake up. He says there is something stopping him."
"I though that would happen. Poppy and Snape are preparing a potion that will help him wake up; it should be ready in a few hours."
Hermione looked up from the book with a huge grin on her face. "He will be up in a few hours?"
"Yes Mrs. Granger."
Hermione smile grew even wider. "And he will be back to normal?"
"As far as we know, he may be weak for the next few days, but he should be just fine."
"Oh thank Merlin!" Hermione said.
"Professor. Did you find out what Percy tried to do to Harry?"
"Ah yes we did. He was trying to put a very old form of the Imperious curse on him. One that is not very easy to fight off, but luckily he was able to stop him before it happen. We also extracted several other very unfriendly curses that were in him."
*I am so sorry Harry* Ron though
*It's okay Ron, please don't worry about it. Its over with. I am fine, and Percy won't be able to hurt anyone ever again.*
"Professor, do you think these curses were blocking the pendants powers?"
"I believe so. I was expecting these new powers to emerge sooner and that Harry and
Ron's auror training would go faster, as well as Harry's wand less magic training."
"Wand less magic?" Hermione said.
*I was going to tell you! I am sorry Hermione!* Harry said.
*It's okay Harry.*Hermione said
"Mr. Potter has been having training sessions with me since the middle of last year, after he mastered occlumency."
*I found out your secret!* Hermione teased.
*Yes you did. Now you have to tell me what your mum and you were talking about this summer.*
*I do not!* Hermione said.
"Professor is there a way we can turn off the talking in my head? I don't know how much more I can stand of there lovely-dovey banter." Ron said sounding a little annoyed.
Dumbledore let out a slight chuckle "There is. All you have to do is say the person's name followed by adfectio-onis"
"Thank you sir." Ron said sounding and looking very relived.
"But I must warn you to be careful when you do so. Let the other person, or persons know before you do. And when you want this power to be re-evoked just say the same thing again."
"What if there is an emergency and we need to get a hold of that person is there a way?" Hermione asked
"Not that I know of. The book might have something that can help with that."
"Thank you professor. I think I am going to go back down to Harry and read for awhile. What time will the potion be ready?"
"I will let you know when it is time. I am going to go check on it now." Dumbledore said standing up from his chair.
Ron and Hermione followed in Dumbledore's action. "Thank you sir." Ron said and followed Hermione out the door.
"I am going to go find Luna and the other and tell them about the potion. I will come back to the hospital wing after I tell them."
"Okay. Bye Ron."
"Hermione do you want something to eat as well? I was going to go grab some breakfast from the kitchen ."
"No I'm not all that hungry."
"Okay then. I will be back soon."
"Bye Ron." Hermione said and walked in the opposite direction as Ron.
*Ron would you get something for Hermione? I don't think she has eating very much in the last few days.* Harry asked.
*Sure mate.* Ron said and he tickled the pear and walked in to kitchen.
Hermione made her way back to the hospital wing and curled up on the bed next to Harry. *I know you asked Ron to bring me something.*
*Don't be mad love; I am just worried about you. You haven't eaten anything since you woke up.*
*I'm not mad, maybe a little annoyed.* she said and kissed him on the cheek. *Thank you for caring.*
*I wish I could kiss you back. That is the first thing I am going to do when they give me that potion.*
*How did you know about the potion?*
*I can hear what you and Ron say. Can't you hear what Ron is saying?*
Hermione tied to concentrate on if Ron was saying anything. *No I can't.*
*I wonder if there is anything in the book about it.*
*Maybe. Want me to read to you?*
*I would love that.*
Hermione smiled and began reading to book to Harry. After an hour of reading Ron came back to the hospital wing with Luna, Ginny, Victor, Mrs. Weasley, Mr. Weasley, Bill, Charlie, Lupin, Dumbledore, Madame Pomfrey, and Snape.
*My family.* Harry thought.
Hermione looked up from the book and smiled. "Is it time?"
"Yes it is." Ron said smiling at Hermione and Harry. *You really think of all of them as your family? Even Snape?* he asked.
*I do. You can't like everyone in your family, besides he is slowly getting better.* Harry said.
Hermione gave Harry's hand a squeeze and got up from the bed.
"Now everyone stand back and give me some room." Madame Pomfrey said pulling a small vile from her robe. "This may now taste very good Mr. Potter but it will help you." she said and un-corked the bottle and held it to his lips and slowly poured it down his throat.
Hermione stood next to Ron and grabbed his hand. *Please work* she said over and over in her head. She couldn't look. She was so scared it wouldn't work and he would be lost forever.
The potion made its way down Harry's throat and began working its way in to his system. Soon Harry could moves his toes. *Thank you Merlin, it's working!*
Hermione opened her eyes when she heard him say that. Ron and Hermione both looked at his left toes, they were wiggling happily under his blanket. Hermione laughed. "I've never been so happy to see toes wiggling."
Ron laughed as well. "Either have I."
Soon Harry have movement in his lower body. He pulled his legs up towards them and pushed them back down on the bed.
Hermione laughed again and began to cry. Soon she saw his left thumb move. "His thumb! I saw it move!"
"Me too!" said Dudley who was now standing next to Hermione and was equally excited about the thumb moving.
"It's just his thumb" Snape said
"Quite!" Lupin yelled. "At least your damn potion is working or you would have to deal with me!'"
"Look! his head is moving!" Mrs. Granger said
Hermione ran over next to Harry. "Open your eyes Harry. Please open your eyes." she said and she knelt down next to his bed and turned his face to look at her. "Open your eyes!" she pleaded and soon saw his eyes flutter open.
"Her... Hermione." Harry said and opened his eyes for the first time. "Hermione!"
"Harry!" she said and began crying more.
Harry lifted his hand and wiped away her tears. "Don't cry love I am back and I am not going anywhere."
Hermione dropped her head to Harry chest and began to cry even harder.
Harry wrapped his arms around Hermione and pulled her onto the bed next to him. *It's okay my love. I am not going anywhere ever again*
"Harry how do you feel? Any pain?" Madame Pomfrey asked.
"None at all. I feel fine, just like before." he said looking around the room at the smiling people in front of him. "I am so glad you are all here."
"We are glad you are back." Mrs. Granger said walking over and giving him a hug, followed my Mrs. Weasly, Mr. Weasly, Ginny, Luna, Ron, and Dudley. Victor shock his hand and mumbled something in Bulgarian. McGonagall welcomed him back and gave him a smile. Everyone stayed and talked to Harry for an hour before Madame Pomfrey ushered everyone out so Harry could get some rest. Hermione had fallen asleep and Harry's chest and was still there after everyone left, except Lupin. He stood next to the window.
"I am glad you are still here" Harry said shifting Hermione to get a little more comfortable.
Lupin didn't respond he just continued to look at the window.
"I wish you would talk to me. I am sorry if I did something to upset you."
"I'm not mad at you." Lupin said and turned around and walked over near Harry. "I'm upset with myself."
Harry looked shocked. "For what? You haven't done anything."
"I know." he said and ran out of the room.
"LUPIN!" he yelled, but it was no use. Harry knew he wasn't going to come back.
