Righty ho then. It appears that I don't have a vast amount of reviews, so I'm pondering about giving this story up. I think I have actually done a third chapter, but since I can't get to my school computers till something like April 15th I think it would be worth my while doing another third chapter, which I won't continue until I have at least 5 more reviews. Also, if anyone has any ideas about an extension or improvement on the plot then go ahead. I am also afraid that updating will be a problem soon as next week I am off to Greece and I am supposed to be revising for my GCSEs groans.

Anyway, I have a full plot in my head which I can assure you will get darker once I get more reviews!

The mass replies to all the many reviews I have already:

Innogen: Thank you so much for your time in reviewing. You are right in that it is right before the 7th year. I aim to go through to their equivalent of A2s. Which I am still thinking through! Of course Dumbledore's possessed, why else would he be in this story? And you have it right, Hermione will shortly turn of age, so I think a few sparks might go flying then!

Yelena Derevko: Well, if I were to tell you if Snape is coming back then that would spoil the whole plot, now wouldn't it! And I will keep up the "good work" if I get some more reviews... hint hint

Now enough of me spelling out rubbish...

Disclaimer: You know the drill, as before.

Chapter 3

The shock pelted through Hermione's spine and she staggered back in realisation that indeed Voldermort is back... could be anywhere. Mirth flowed over her eyes and she felt like she was being lifted up, her head was emptying and all the people in the room were being merged into one another. Voices were now penetrating through her head.

"You do think she'll be alright" asked Mrs Weasley as she glanced over Hermione. She had been taken to St Mungo's Hospital. Her parents hadn't been able to find her and the only people she was surrounded by were wizardry people.

"Of course she'll be alright. She only fainted. Well, so it seems anyway. I think it must have been the amount of people in the Leaky Cauldron. There were masses. Although, I have to admit. I have no idea about why there were so many people." replied the nurse.

"Of course. I suppose not. Although... (stepping aside from Hermione's bed) although, you have herd about you know who. Have you not?"

"I don't here much I'm afraid. Being stuck in here all day, every day means I don't really have a chance to go out anywhere. However, I had herd that he's returned and that he's released a wave of powerful and penetrating evil over certain people" explained the nurse.

Mrs Weasley gasped in surprise. What does she mean by she doesn't know much? That's more than she knew.

The nurse walked over to the chest of drawers to collect some more sheets for the bed next to Hermione.

"Oh yeah, hang on. It's coming back to me" said the nurse.

"Oh?" said Mrs Weasley

"Yeah, I believe he primarily targeted that boy".

Mrs Weasley's colour in her face shot white at the mention of a boy.

"Do you happen to know which boy?" enquired Mrs Weasley

"I think his name was... Oh, it's coming to me..."

Suddenly, a man walked in to the room armed with a stethoscope and a clipboard. He directed his speech to the nurse.

"Sandra, you're needed with a young girl who's just been admitted. Severe injuries to the head. I think fatal" said the doctor.

At that, the nurse marched out of the room and Mrs Weasley was left on her own with Hermione in the small room.

Ever since she was called out to the hospital by the chief doctor, she had been frantically busy and she had had little time to stop and ponder on the days events.

Why should Hermione be taken into Hospital if she had only fainted? thought Mrs Weasley.

Things didn't add up right.

All she could do now was to sit and wait.

Hermione's eyes flickered in the candlelight and her breathing was soft and steady. The colour on her cheeks was pale but warm. The stillness of the atmosphere in the room seemed to calm Hermione down until she was unconsciously restful. Nothing could harm her here. Not even Voldermort.

The next morning Hermione was awake. She appeared to have remembered nothing but severely wanted to return home. However it was actually August 30th and she had to be in Hogwarts in two days time.

Mrs Weasley had stayed with Hermione all night. She was glad when Ron came marching into the room to see his mother, but was more concerned with Hermione.

"She's not going to like this Mum" said Ron

"Not like what?" replied Mrs Weasley

"Draco and Hermione are the new Head boy and Head girl"

Well, how do you like that? Now, if you want some more, then you will get by means of a little purple box just below this. So review!
