Harry Potter belongs to J.K. Rowling. I'm just playing with her world

Chapter 19: It's Killing Me and Taking Control!

"Nothing." The answer danced across the room and hit Harry like a hard slap on the face.

He gaped and blinked a few times in confusion. "What do you mean, you didn't find anything?" Harry shouted.

The Headmaster raised his hand to basically shut Harry up. "Mr. Potter, please calm yourself. What I was going to say was that I did not find anything when I looked the first time." Dumbledore replied reassuringly.

Harry smiled sheepishly and lowered his head a bit. "Sorry, Headmaster."

"It is alright, my boy. When I went back the second time, I noticed something around the time when you first arrived at the Weasley's." The Headmaster stood and strode over to Fawkes, who eyed him very warily.

Fawkes saw the Headmaster come over, and noticed a difference. His energy wasn't the same and he didn't smell like lemons. Fawkes fluffed up his feathers and glared at the man screeching quietly as he was being stroked.

Harry didn't notice Fawkes odd behavior but Dumbledore did.

"There was a point when you where taking a nap on the couch at the Weasley's house, yes?" Harry nodded. "Well, in that time span, there was a point where everything just kind of blinked for a less then a second. Time blinked and then returned to normal."

Harry shook his head. "I don't understand what you mean Headmaster. What happened? Was I obliviated then?"

"That is what I suspect." The Headmaster wiped a hand across the wet window sill. "I dug a little deeper and found that well hidden memory." Rain had begun to pour a while before and was now coming in through open windows. A storm could be seen rolling its way towards the castle, dark clouds getting closer and closer.

The Headmaster went into his long explanation. It seemed that Percy, with a stolen Time Turner, took Harry just about five minutes into the past. Harry was awakened by the travel and fought Percy as long as he could. But the fight was all for naught as Percy had taken Harry's wand before he had woken up.

Percy struck Harry was a Petrificus Totalis and cast an Imperio on him. Harry was to act normal, be normal, except he was to take full control of Hermione, make her his in every sense of the word. He was to keep her under his influence until the next time they were to meet. But most importantly he was to not think that anything was wrong, that this was all normal and that Hermione was nothing more then a woman to be controlled.

Upon hearing this, Harry stood up quickly, knocking his chair back. "No, no! This is not possible! I would never have been under that curse for so long. Something else must have happened." Harry paced in front of the fireplace running his hands throughout his messy black hair.

The Headmaster just laughed a bit under his breath. "Yes, Harry. It is possible, and that is what happened. You must understand that even you have weaknesses. You are not as powerful as you believe yourself to be."

"What are you saying?" Harry glanced up to the Headmaster. "I am the Boy That Lived! I am supposed to be the one that saves the Wizarding World. I am powerful!" Harry was screaming in frustration but also in terror.

"Oh no, Harry, you will not save the Wizarding World." The Headmaster's face contorted and his voice deepened.

"You, Harry Potter." The new being spat out, "Will do nothing but DIE!" Lord Voldemort's face came through the glamour.

Harry began breathing heavily as he reached for his wand. Though he was a bit too late. An "accio" came from across the room, as Harry's wand flew from his pocket.

Lord Voldemort laughed his wicked laugh. "Looking for this?" With that Harry tried to run for help but was knocked out by a fast swish of his own wand. Harry fell to the ground with a sharp crack.

"This shall be fun." A cackle echoed through the room as the two disapperated from the castle.

Now, wait you say! How did this all happen? Well my wonderful readers that is what flashbacks are for!

(Flashback)

"Weasley, your task, which I have so graciously appointed to you, is a most important one."

Percy still bowed did not say a word.

"You are to infiltrate Hogwarts and kidnap Albus Dumbledore. You are to bring him back here and chain him in the dungeons." The instructions were said clear and almost in a bored tone, as if Percy was just running for potions ingredients.

Percy flinched at what he was supposed to do. "But, my Lord, in all due respect, how am I to do this? Hogwarts is the most well guarded place in the world. No one not meant to get in there can get in there." Percy was still bowed but was using his hands to express his nervousness more clearly. "And there are so many students, professors, and ghosts, how am I to get past them with an unconscious Headmaster floating behind me?" Noticing the very insolent tone of his voice, Percy lowered himself to the floor and prostrated himself even lower.

"Did you not think I would have thought of this?" Lord Voldemort screamed at the young boy. "I know how to take care of this. I shall lower those non-appiration wards for a period of ten minutes." Percy nodded. "You are to find Dumbledore, knock him out, and bring him back here. If you are caught or cannot get out in time, that will be your own fault. You will rot in Azkaban with no hope of escape, for I will not rescue a Death Eater that has failed me twice." Voldemort gritted his teeth and screamed out the last few words. "Do you understand?"

Percy nodded as best he could. "Yes, my Lord, I understand."

Voldemort grinned and waved his hand. "Now, get out of here, and prepare yourself for your task."

Percy got up as gracefully as he could and practically ran from the room still facing the Dark Lord.

"With that old fool gone, Potter, that school, and the whole of the Wizarding World, shall be MINE!" His voice and laugh echoed eerily throughout the house.

Percy, after running from the house, had apperated himself but to his humble flat. It was not far from Hogsmead but still far enough so that no one would recognize him.

When he entered his kitchen, Percy made himself busy by getting a cup of tea ready. 'So I am to capture the most powerful wizard in all of time, take him out of the castle without being seen, and do all this in a period of less then ten minutes.' He sighed heavily trying to figure how he could do it.

Time passed quickly as Percy formulated a plan, and got up his nerve. Darkness cloaked the earth as he waited for the precise moment to come.

It was just after curfew when the real Albus Dumbledore was up in his office. He felt something change. A slight lifted of a weight but then it all seemed to go back to normal. Dumbledore looked up and shook his head. "Fawkes, I think this old man has finally gone crazy." The phoenix fluffed his feathers up but really paid no heed to the Headmaster.

The next few minutes passed with a bit of light, glory, and chaos. Percy apperated directly into the Headmaster's office, with a See Me Not charm on. Again the Headmaster looked up but saw nothing. A silencing charm was placed on the room.

Percy breathed heavily. He could not believe that this was working. His hands began to shake but he knew now was not the time to get excited. Percy hit the Headmaster with a blinding charm first and then with a charm that would knock out even the biggest of dragons.

The Headmaster heard the blinding charm but couldn't get out of the way. Then he heard the dark words being muttered and heard no more as he slumped over on his desk. Fawkes squawked horribly as he saw his friend being hit with a rapid fire of spells.

Percy laughed as he saw the old man fall unconscious on the desk. "I have done it. I can't believe that this actually worked!" He looked up at the time and saw that he only had a few seconds to get out of the castle before the non-apperation wards flew back up.

"Bloody hell!" Percy screamed out as he ran to the Headmaster grabbed his arm and got out of there as fast as he could. In the blink Percy was gone and just a blink later the wards flew back up and all was as it should be.

Percy arrived back at where the Dark Lord was staying.

He apperated into the entrance and flung the limp body into the corner. "My Lord, I have returned with a wonderful treat for you!" Percy called through out the house.

Voldemort heard the call and apperated downstairs. A large smile came upon his face as he saw the body of Albus Dumbledore crumpled in the corner.

"Weasley, you are forever indebted to this cause. Your reward shall be very great." The cold smirk left his face as his mind spun with what needed to be done. "Take him down to the dungeons. Make sure he cannot escape." With no warnings of failure the Dark Lord turned and walked up to his room.

Once again the non-apperations wards were taken down but just for a split second, as that was all that was needed to allow the Dark Lord entry to the castle. Well, not really the Dark Lord, more of a Dark Lord in Dumbledore skin.

(End Flashback)

Harry couldn't believe what was happening. The Dark Lord had just emerged out of what he thought was Headmaster Dumbledore.

He grasped for his wand. But it flew away from him. Harry looked up and saw the cocky smile on Voldemort's face. Next he tried to run from the room, but was knocked out the second step he took. The last thing Harry heard was a cackle of a laugh and the rumble of thunder.

Hermione woke up. Warmth spread through her body as she felt an arm around her waist. She turned around on the bed and became face to face to the man she loved. Her smile lit up her face and it was the sight of her smile that Severus woke up to.

"My love, Hermione." He breathed out against her skin, making the hairs on her neck stand on end.

The two had slept until about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and knew nothing of what was going on in the castle.

Severus kissed his love and settled himself on top of her wanting nothing more then to fall asleep once again in her arms. But of course right as he thought that a person burst into the Infirmary.

"What is going on here?" The shrill female voice called out.

"Oh bloody hell." Severus whispered out as he instantly distinguished the voice with his colleague, Minerva McGonagall

"Severus, Miss. Granger, explain yourselves at once." She only took a brief pause. "Never mind, it does not matter at the moment. What matters is that we are missing Albus and Harry Potter."

Hermione heard Harry's name and couldn't help but be worried. "What do you mean Harry is missing. He has to be somewhere in the castle."

"I am afraid not, Miss. Granger. We have used spells to try and locate them both in the confines of the castle and the grounds but neither are here." Professor McGonagall sighed and paced around the room. "It has also been noticed that two times last night the non-apperation wards were dropped. The first time for a period of about 15 minutes, the second time for only a brief moment. We have reason to believe that they were kidnapped."

Her final words hung in the air, like a dark mist. Hermione tried to think of where they could be but found no answers. Severus knew what had happened. But before he could state his theory his mark began to burn harshly.

His face cringed in pain. Hermione saw this and threw her arms around him. "No, not now, please not now."

Severus kissed the top of her head. "I am so sorry my love, but I have to go."

He quickly detangled himself from her arms and strode out of the Infirmary. Hermione sat there in disbelieve for just a moment, before tears flowed down her cheeks.

"Why does he have to ruin everything?" She whispered out.

Minerva saw the interaction between her prize student and her recluse colleague. She saw the love in Severus's eyes and saw the heartbreak in Hermione's as he left to go perform his duty for the Order.

Hermione felt the bed move as her professor sat down next to her. "My dear, I have no idea what as gone on between the two of you, and you know that I will find out soon," The look on her face told Hermione that she would find out what hadbeen going on whether she liked it or not."But you must go to him now before he leaves. Don't let this potentially be the last moment between the two of you."

Minerva saw Hermione look up and saw the red streaks of tears on her face. "Go, you must hurry if you are to catch him."

Hermione smiled a thank you to her Head of House and raced down to the Entrance Hall, to meet Severus. She saw the door close slightly as she rounded to corner. The huge door flung open without even a spell cast but Hermione didn't notice.

The rain was pouring as Severus made his way down to path to Hogsmead so he could apperate out to the meeting.

"Severus! Wait!" A voice carried in the wind. It made him turn around. He saw her running towards him.

When Hermione reached she was panting heavily, after sprinting for him. No words were needed, as the two looked deep in each other's eyes.

Hermione went to reach for his face to tell him not to go and that she loved him, but he caught her hand before it made contact.

Severus had sensed what she was going to do and knew why she was going to do it. When he caught her hand, he could see her eyes fill with tears. The moment was suspended in time as the two were interlocked with each other.

He bent down and kissed her roughly, picking her up by the arms around her waist. "I love you; know that whatever happens I love you forever." He whispered in her ear.

Hermione heard him and the tears really did fall. "I love you too, just return to me safely." She smiled at him, while her chin quivered with sadness.

They kissed once more before Severus let her go in a flash and ran for Hogsmead.

A/N: Whee! Another chapter finished! And back to the beginning, I had no idea that this was how it was going to turn out but man, I don't think I could have thought of a better plot advance then this if I really tried.

Oh and I don't know how confusing the time frame is, but just to clear it up here is what I was thinking. Last chapter was the day after down in the tunnel, except part of it is for some reason two days after, just Harry and Dumbledore's part really. I am so sorry about that but nothing else really made sense. And this chapter is all two days after, except the flashback which is the night after what happened. Sorry I know how confusing this must be.
