Far away, many miles from where Harry lay, his friend Hermione lay on her bed thinking of her best friend. She jumped up suddenly making her cat, Crookshanks, fall off the bed in surprise. She knew what to do. She had to write to Dumbledore first, though.
Professor Dumbledore,
I am truly worried about Harry. I know you have a watch on him at all hours but that has failed in the past. I was wondering if someone should be there for him to talk to, you know, about Sirius. I was thinking Lupin might be willing, considering he would be going through the loss of a great friend now too. Please, help Harry, he really needs it.
Hermione
She tied it to her eagle owl, Swift and sent him on his way. She lay back down waiting for a reply, thinking about Harry some more. She had to admit, he was on the top of her list of priorities at the moment, but she was thinking about him an awful lot.
Maybe it was the sound of his voice right before term ended. She had been knocked unconscious by a Death eater's curse. Harry had begun to cry,
"Hermione! Are you all right? Please be okay! I cant get through this war without you." Of course no one else had heard it at the time, even with Neville being just feet away at the time. That's when she knew that she needed to pull through this endeavor; return to the physical world; return to her Harry.
She had realized over time, that her love for Harry grew everyday. A love that she knew not to be platonic, at least not from where she was sitting. Anyway, she didn't know if he knew about her love or would return it, so she sat and thought of her best friend, wanting him to be more. Just then, a knock that could only be one thing, owl post, came to her window. It was Swift, he was back very quickly, for going to Hogwarts and back. She rushed to the window quickly to grab the letter. She opened it and read:
Hermione,
I am aware of Harry's situation at the moment, having written to a him a few times (tonight included) myself. I know you are worried for Harry, maybe more than even I know. I assure you he is well protected.
As for your, recommendation, I will be making sure someone gets to see Harry very soon. You Hermione! He wants to see you nearly as bad as you want to see him.
Don't worry about your parents I have already spoke to them through Floo, and they readily accepted, seeing your concern for him.
You might have forgot that tonight starts a full moon stage, and that should answer why Remus was not able to travel to Harry. Make sure you are ready in ten minutes. When you are, pick up this letter; it is a portkey.
Please make sure when Harry's ready you tell me. I have to speak with him under very important circumstances. Help him as best you can
Hermione, I am putting all of my faith in you.
Professor Dumbledore
'I am going to see Harry?' she thought. 'This is too good to be true'
She packed quickly but not nearly fast enough for her. It seemed to take an eternity in a minute. 'Harry, I am coming!' she thought to herself. After stuffing everything she needed into her trunk and a big backpack, she picked up the letter, felt a jerk from somewhere behind her navel and her feet left the ground.
