Traitors and Bludgers

Chapter 5

Let me start of by saying that I'm absoloutley NOT going to tell you..."in detail" that is...what they did in the chamber, that would ruin it. Maybe in the near futurethe story will have a scene with explict detail.So, if you read my stories, your more than likely to catch the "explict scenes".So this is where our story starts:

They had called Harry's Firebolt down to the Chamber thankfully without detection, and were know headed back up through the pipe. Once they reached Moaning Myrtles bathroom, they started to sneak out without disturbing Myrtle but. . . . . "Aaaaaaaaaah!" Too late. "WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING, YOUR DISTURBING MY MISERABLENESS!"

"Sorry Myrtle, we'll just be going. . . ."

"GOOD, GET GOING!" They had ran out of the lavatory into the second floor corridor, checking for Filch, and rushed on out toward the Grand Staircase. As soon as they reached the seventh floor and opened the door to the Fat Ladies Corridor they bumped head-long into Professor Snape.

"Well, well, well, Potter and Granger out of bed. Explain yourselves!"

"We were just. . . ." Hermione began but Snape interrupted.

"Follow me you two!" As Snape turned to lead them off into the unknown they looked at each other in dread. Where could he be taking them? What would he do to them? They could only begin to imagine. . . . . .

Snape lead them all the way back to the entrance hall and turned right into the dungeons. It seemed like they had been walking forever when they reached an Oak door with an iron plate reading: Professor Snape's Office. Snape's office was lined with shelves stocked with jars filled with strange fluids and insects and creatures floating around inside. "Sit!" Snape said. They obeyed quickly to avoid getting into even more trouble. "First off I am going to deduct 50 points from both of you. Now tell me, what were you doing out of bed?"

"It was Voldemort he. . . . . "

"Don't say the Dark Lord's name aloud." Snape had stood up, his greasy hair swinging in his eyes.

"Sorry, You-Know-Who captured Hermione and led me to the Chamber of Secrets, then he tried to kill us!" The whole time Harry said this Snape looked at him with a familiar gleam in his eyes.

"How could the Dark Lord have got into this castle!" Snape said mockingly.

"The Poly-Juice Potion. . .he disguised himself as Ron and tricked us."

"Rubish. . .I want you two to go straight to bed without another word on this Poly-juice potion for the rest of the semester. Oh, and also report for detention in my office tomorrow evening at 12:00 midnight, but don't get caught, you'll be in even more trouble." All this was said with an incredibly evil smirk on his face. As Harry and Hermione were leaving the dungeons, Harry looked over at Hermione and her face was drowned in tears. Once they were out of sight of Snape he pulled her aside into an archway wiped her face with the sleeve of his robes and she said, "It's my fault I let him lead me into the girls bathroom. Where he looked like Ron I thought he was going to apologize but I was wrong! I'm so stupid!" "You're not stupid, he could have fooled anybody! As they walked up the Grand Staircase not saying a word. When they reached the fat lady, they told her the password and climbed through the portrait hole and instead of going to their dormitories they fell back onto the couch by the fire to just think and talk.

They had been talking late into the morning hours before either of them fell asleep. Hermione was the first to go. She laid her head over on Harry's lap and for a while it was alright until his leg fell asleep, but he still didn't move because he didn't want to disturb her. Soon after, Harry himself fell asleep as well. . . . . . . .

He was in a dark room, with cold stone walls, he was sitting in a chair in front of a desk, but for some odd reason, there was a large kitchen knife on it. Beside him in another chair was Hermione, but something was different, she was sweating, she looked scared. Behind the desk was a figure that was very skinny with scraggly, greasy hair. Could it be Snape? Something was happening, he all of a sudden had the urge to. . . .kill! Something was controlling him. It made him pick up a knife off of the desk. He then rounded on Hermione. He raised the knife. . .Hermione screamed and. . . . . . . . .

He awoke in a cold sweat, once again everyone was there staring at him, everyone except Ron he was already gone. "Harry. . ." he looked through the crowd to see who was talking. . .it was Hermione. "Harry, was it another dream?" Harry looked around nervously and quickly nodded. "Was it about me and Voldemort again?"

"No, it was about me, you, and Snape." After Harry had said this her eyes widen in horror. "Why?"

"I had that same dream and I killed you!"

"Me too but I killed you!"

"It can't mean anything, Harry lets just go to class and forget the whole thing!" Harry nodded and pulled on his clothes, they grabbed their school bags and headed off to class, holding hands of course. The day seemed to go by so fast with Harry's first Quidditch match drawing nearer. He was so excited he almost forgot about his and Hermione's detention with Snape that night. As Harry and Hermione walked outside to enjoy the sunshine during their lunch break, Angelina, the Gryffindor Quidditch Captain, came striding up to them.

"Harry, Alicia has fallen ill and Madam Pomfery said she shouldn't play all season! Mcgonnagal was just there to see her and Madam Pomfery put a ban on her playing this season. We need another Chaser fast!"

"Well. . .what about Hermione. You said you had a little practice!'

"Yeah, but. . . ."

"Great your in, practice this evening at 7:00!" and with that she stormed off toward the pitch.

"Harry, I can't play Quidditch!

"Sure you can, you're great." As he said this he kissed her on the cheek, and they opened their school bags to get started on their daily homework. They had sat under the tree by the lake till what seemed 6:30 when they got up to head toward the Quidditch pitch.

"Hey guys, glad you could make it!" They had run into Angelina at the locker rooms. "Come on Hermione, I'll get you your robes!" Angelina led Hermione into the girls locker rooms to get dressed while Harry, Mark and Jacob, the new beaters who he heard were pretty good, and Ron changed silently. After they were changed Angelina and Hermione walked in the Boy's locker room and they went over they goals for that evenings practice. After that they marched out onto the field. "Alicia, help out Hermione!" Angelina shouted as they kicked of. After a while Angelina called to Hermione, "Hermione, do you know what to do?" Hermione nodded her head. "Great, we're gonna run a practice game, but Hermione, since your new, and you and Harry know each other. . .well. . .so can you be the opposing seeker. . .?

"Yea, I guess so. . ."

"Great. . .into position. . .Alicia, Mark, Ron, Hermione, your on team one. . .Jacob, Katie, Me, and Harry,will beon team two. I'll be the goalie." At that they all flew into the air around the centerfield circle. Harry and Hermione looked at each other with a loving competitive smile on their faces. Angelina released the balls. Harry saw the snitch and the bludgers zoom into the air and out of sight. Then, she blew the whistle and took off toward the hoops while Harry and Hermione started to circle the field in opposite directions. Each time Harry and Hermione would pass each other they would smile and continue searching.

Tons of thoughts were running through his mind. He couldn't believe it, his girlfriend on the Quidditch team with him! He was so caught up in his own that he almost didn't notice the snitch fluttering around the goal post. Without knowing if Hermione had seen him, he plunged into a sharp dive but when he looked behind him and Hermione was close on his tail. He pushed his Firebolt as hard as it would go to try and outrun Hermione. Hermione pulled up right beside him so that they were flying dead even. Harry looked over at her and with a smile on his face said, " I'm not going to be easy on you!"

"I don't want you to," she replied. As soon as Hermione had said that Hermione swerved right and rammed Harry making him veer off course and allowing Hermione to zoom ahead. As soon as Harry had recovered, he shot forward and grabbed on Hermione's tail twigs to slow her down to where she was beside him, then he reach over and pushed down on her broom handle making her plunge in a steep dive, giving Harry time to zoom foward and grab the snitch out of thin air.

"Great job guy's! Now let's. . . . . . ." Before Angelina could finish Ron interrupted her.

"Angelina, do you think that I could play as seeker for once to see how it is and what it's like?"

"Yea, sure,it's just practiceanyway. . ., new teams: Alicia, Harry, Mark, Me vs. Hermione, Katie, Jacob, and Ron. Hermione is Chaser, and Alicia, you be goalie, your pretty good." After she blew the whistle Harry and Ron started to circle the stadium. As soon as they had started Harry spotted the snitch flying around the upper stands. Harry hurriedly shot at the stands and sure enough there was Ron close on his tail. Harry sped up to try and outrun him but Ron gave his broom a little more power to where he was right beside him.

Harry looked over into his face and after a long while Ron swerved to the right and rammed Harry hard in the side. At first Harry didn't know what hit him. He rolled over on his broom and when he recovered he leaned over on his broom and kicked Ron in the head making him spin and plummet out of control. Harry looked down and saw that Ron had recovered and was coming up on him again. When he was beside him once again he surprisingly jumped onto Harry's broom and started punching him in the stomach and Harry's only instinct was to fight back. That's when everyone else on the field stopped playing to try and break up the two but it was no use. The first ones who got there were Mark and Jacob. At first they tried to pull them apart which was no use so their last resort was to hit one of them with their bludger bats. They didn't no which one to hit, so they picke one and reared back and hit Harry in the back of the head. It felt as though he had a jack-hammer on his head, the pain was so bad. After a moment of what seemed like slow motion he fell to the ground.

"What are you guys doing' I didn't want to kill him, I just wanted to show him how I felt. . .physically.!" As soon as Ron said this, he pushed his broom into a dive as did Hermione. They both reached Harry at the same time, but Ron reached him a few seconds first and as Harry fell below him, he caught him by the neck of his Robes. Hermione stared at him in surprise.

"Ron?" Harry stuttered, "Thank you! You saved my life!" As Harry said this, Ron had an unusual stare in his eyes and after Harry had finished, Ron lifted his wand to Harry's fore head and said, "Guess again!" After that Ron let go of Harry's robes, letting him fall over 50 feet to the ground. At first he didn't know what to do but he then regained his senses and shouted, "Accio broom," but it wasn't his broom that came toward him it was one of the schools Comet 260's. He didn't care what broom came just as long as a broom came. He mounted the broom just in time to land safely on the ground.

"O.K., that was. . .good. . .lets get dressed," Angelina shouted. As Harry walked toward the locker rooms, Hermione grabbed hi shoulder and said, "Uh, Harry, after Ron dropped you, he grabbed your broom and, well. . ." she held out a pile of twigs and shattered wood. He couldn't believe it. . .OH NO, IT'S ON NOW!

After they had changed and Harry and Hermione met up to go back to the castle, and had went to the common room for a small nap, at 12:05 Harry woke up and looked down at his watch. . .OH NO. . .they were late for their detention with Snape! "Hermione we got to sneak down to the dungeons and fast!"

They went out of the Fat Lady's portrait and to the Grand Staircase and ran into the entrance hall. Then they turned right into the dungeons. When they reached the door to Professor Snapes office they first hesitated then slowly, they opened the door. "You're late!"

"Sorry, we fell asleep!" Harry said shakily.

"That's a poor excuse. . .no matter. . .sit. Now, explain again what happened in the chamber, and don't lie!" His eyebrow was twitching very uncomfortably.

"It's the same as last time. . .Voldemort lured us in there disguised as Ron!"

"I SAID DON'T LIE!"

"It's true professor!. . . ." Harry and Hermione turned around to see who had spoken and there in the doorway was. . .RON! "He must've yanked out some of my hair at Hogsmeade because I remember a hooded figure behind me then I felt a sharp pain in my head. The next morning I didn't wake up until 12:00 the next day."

"Lets see if you say the same thing under veritaserum." Snape took a clear colored liquid from one of the shelves behind him, poured it into a goblet on his desk, held it out to Ron and said, "Drink!" Ron took the goblet and took a sip of it. It seemed as though he had been electrified and he remained erect. "What happened, Ron?"

"He must've yanked out some of my hair at Hogsmeade because I remember a hooded figure behind me then I felt a sharp pain in my head. The next morning I didn't wake up until 12:00 the next day."

"Thank you, Ron. . .you all may go now, since your friends story is accurate, your detention is canceled. Now get to your dormitories but,. . .muahahaha. . .don't get caught!"

As Harry, Ron, and Hermione made their way back to their dormitories Harry had a lot of questions to ask but it was Ron who spoke first. "Harry, I'm so sorry for everything! Please forgive me!"

"Why did you do all those things anyway?" Hermione asked.

"Well, mainly it's because I liked you-liked you but you didn't like me-like me, and when you and Harry got together it just sparked a little anger inside me. But it got out of hand, it was stupid! So what do you think guys, will you forgive me?" They had reached the Common Room and had sat down on the couch by the fire place. Harry put his arms around Hermione and Ron and said, "Of course will forgive you, won't we Hermione?"

"Of course," Hermione said smiling at them both.

"What have you been doing the whole time you've been 'avoiding' us?" Harry asked.

"Well, actually, I would sit on my bed and look at our picture at Kings Cross Station...," a snicker slipped out of Harry and Hermione's mouth,"...pathetic, I KNOW!" Harry and Hermione burst out in laughter, Ron couldn't help but join in.

"Ummmmm. . ."

". . .thought so. . ." after Ron said this they all threeonce againstarted to laugh aloud.

"I missed us three being friends!"

"Us too Ron, us too!"

"Should we work on our homework, then?"

"But its 1:00 in the morning!"

"So. . ." Harry and Hermione looked at one another and then back at Ron.

"We have to get you hooked up with someone, Ron!" They said together, in a chuckling sort of way. "Your turning in to the 'old' Hermione, the book-worm!"

"I agree, and that's an insult to myself!" Hermione said in between giggles.

"I guess your right, well,I'm off to bed, night!" Ron then turned and went up the spiral staircase to the boy's dorms.

"Me too! Hermione said as the two of them got up.

"I love you Hermione!" Harry said as he gave Hermione a sweet kiss on the lips.

"I love you, too, Harry!" she said returning the kiss, "See you in the morning!" And with that the two of them went to their separate dormitories with the one another in mind.

Harry lay awake in bed, with the sound of the other boys' snoring as his only company, great! Ron was his friend again, he still had Hermione, it seemed that his life could get no better. But things at Hogwarts were about to getextremely caotic! The simple life everyone knew, other than Voldemorts' attempts at regaining power every now-and-then, would soon go down the drain. Unbeknownst to Harry and the gang,things were about to take a steep-downward spiral.
