The next day seemed to run smoothly. No one has the slightest idea what was happening and they would like to leave it that way.

Feasting time for the Hogwarts wizards and witches. The long tables were filled with chicken and vegetables. All different kinds of sauces and fruits. Beef and fish, everyone had there Hogwarts favorite.

Ron grabbed a burger, Harry took some chicken and Hermione seized a piece of fish.

"Man, you guys look tired. What have you all been doing lately. I never see you." Ron said with his mouth full.

"Well, first of all Ronald, don't talk with your mouth full and second…" Hermione was cut off by Harry.

"Please tell me you haven't noticed the slightest change Ron" Harry said.

Ron just shrugged and went back to eating.

"Hermione look!" Harry yelled and pointed behind her.

Hermione quickly whipped around and Harry quickly snatched one of her fries.

"Hey! Harry!" Hermione laughed. Harry went for another one but Hermione kept slapping his hands and they laughed together as Ron watched.

"Hey Hermione." Ginny suddenly said.

"Oh, Hey Ginny. Ok Harry." Hermione smiled.

Harry smiled and went back to eating as Hermione chatted with Ginny.

"Well." Ron said to Harry.

Harry looked up confused.

"Well what?" He asked

"You guys looked pretty chummy. Look who's finally coming around. Look who's in looove" Ron made fun of him.

"Ron!" Harry motioned him to quiet down.

"Hey Ron!" Fred said. He was sitting next to him. He grabbed his burger and held it high in the air, making Ron reach for it.

"Fred! Come on! Give it back." Ron said, trying to get the burger back.

While Ron was preoccupied, Harry leaned over to Hermione.

"Think we should tell him?" Harry asked.

Hermione sighed.

"I doubt he cares what happens to ME Harry." Hermione said.

"Well I'm going to the library." Hermione continued.

"Hey! Not without me." Harry jumped up.

"Where you going Harry?" Ron asked, taking a break from trying to get his burger back.

"Library." Harry said.

"Why?"

Harry looked at Hermione and then turned to Ron.

"Research. I gotta go. See ya later." Harry and Hermione rushed off before Ron asked them anything else.

In the library, Harry and Hermione researched about the dreams.

They had no idea what to look for. Either nothing made sense of they didn't have any information.

"Well this is a bust." Harry said putting down a huge book on the table. Hermione brought down her book too.

"Yeah, I know what you mean." Hermione looked at the time.

"Wow, we have been at this for nearly three hours! It's already 9:00." Hermione spilled.

Harry whistled.

"What now?" He asked.

"Sleep?" She suggested.

"I've got an idea. You go sleep, we all know you need it, I'm going to take the invisibility cloak and go to the restricted section." Harry said.

"But Harry…"

Harry put a finger to her lips.

"No buts. We all…we both know you need more sleep. Even though today was good, you still need it." Harry smiled as they got up and started their way to the common room.

When they got back, Harry made sure Hermione went to her bed and then grabbed the cloak and the Marauder's Map and off he went.

The books were old and dusty. No one has opened them in years. He thought his time was wasted until he spotted a book that seemed like it would be some help.

Non-Existing Life of the Breathing

With book in hand, Harry retreated to the common room. He looked at the map for a sign that it was all clear. But he saw something that wasn't supposed to be. Hermione. Not in the dormitory but in the…kitchen?

Harry changed his direction and headed for the kitchen. Under the door he saw the light from inside.

He swung to door open and dropped the book.

"HERMIONE!" He screamed.

There she stood on the table, a knife getting ready to plunge into her own heart.

Harry ran and right as the knife was about to rip through, Harry threw her to the ground.

She thrashed and fought but Harry sat over her, holding her arms downwith his knees.

Harry tried to think back to what Hermione had said. They had to either finish the job of be forced out of it.

Harry unexpectedly slapped Hermione across the face. Realizing he was still over Hermione he rolled to the side and leaned over Hermione. Hermione started to speak but it wasn't her voice. It was a dark voice.

"You can not defeat my power from the outside. If you want a choice to live or die…Come Inside."

Harry was shocked. Hermione's eyes slowly opened to see Harry's concerned face leaning over her.
