CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN

THESECRET ABOUT NUMBER FOUR, PRIVET DRIVE

Hermione, contented with what she has found in the books she read, returned them all to the shelves. As she was about to pick up the book of prophecies, she noticed something different on the page. She read

"Harry James Evans Potter:

Recorded with two prophecies also indexed in 'The Dark Lord,' 'Voldemort,' and 'Riddle, Tom.'

The first prophecy: predicted by Sybil Trelawney and witnessed by Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore.

'The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches... born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies... and the Dark Lord will mark him as equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not... and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives... the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies.'"

FULFILLED"

She knew what she feared has happened. She realized that her dear friend Harry was dead since he had no chance of winning against Lord Voldemort. Harry was not prepared and was trapped in the barred room back at Grimmauld Place so if the prophecy was true, if it meant that one of them was dead, it would be Harry.

She then realized another thing amidst her panic. Another part of the prophecy has not yet been realized. …and the Dark Lord will mark him as equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not… If there's one thing Voldemort did not know, it was friendship.

"And here comes a friend to help Harry out." whispered Hermione as she ran out of the room of Archives and stepped into the elevator. She then told the cool female voice that she wished to go to the Department of Mysteries. When the elevator arrived on her desired floor, she ran towards a familiar room where she stood months before, the one leading to the veil. She was now in the room with the magic of Time, the one that contained the rows and rows of glowing orb-shaped prophecies. She approached one of the many cabinets in the room and opened one. Inside were plenty of Time-Turners all lined up neatly. She grabbed one and disapparated.

She then arrived outside of Grimmauld Place. She hid under a small bush as she wore the Time-Turner around her neck. She grabbed the little knob that was on the Time-Turners side and turned it around three times.

Suddenly, everything went hazy. She saw clouds move fast and leaves rustle by as time was being rewound. Moments later, everything went clear again. She checked her watch and saw that it was just 7:00 pm. She went almost 3 hours back in time. She collected herself and hid under a bush. She knew that at this time, Harry was still having dinner with Sirius Black. She peered around from the bush she was hiding and saw herself standing guard by the back window of Grimmauld Place. That was, of course, the Hermione hours ago, standing guard in case something went wrong with Harry's dinner with Sirius.

Hermione knew she must not be seen by herself. Things can go ugly if that happens. She just hid under the bush and watched the sun go lower down the horizon.

She was now waiting for her other self to disapparate, signaling that by then, Harry has been trapped behind those magical bars. Moments later, that moment came. She saw her other self gasp and disapparate out of thin air.

She started quickly. She stepped out of the bush and sneaked through the back window of the house. She peeked inside and saw Harry trapped inside the room while Sirius' body changed into Voldemort's ugly form. She waited patiently for her time to act. She witnessed Harry shaking the bars that trapped him and Voldemort's chilling laughter.

She continued to listen:

"You!" said Harry as he rushed to the bars that contained him. "I knew you were Voldemort all this time. I'm not stupid, you know. You will die"

"Oh." said the Dark Lord in a hissing voice. "Not stupid? Well clearly, stupid enough to walk into a trap. It is you who will die, not me. And by the way, there is on escape. Those bars that hold you in are charmed. They use this kind of magic in Azkaban so prisoners don't escape."

"I'll still escape."

"No dear. You can't disapparate here. I've put a charm on the room. I'll just leave you here for now." Voldemort them turned around and walked away, leaving Harry trapped and alone.

Now that Voldemort was temporarily out of sight was the time to act. Hermione disapparated and arrived outside Harry's cell.

"Hermione!" said Harry in surprise. "You've got to get out! Voldemort will be back any minute!"

"Harry, listen to me" said Hermione in a whisper as she went closer to Harry, with the magical bars separating them. "Voldemort will kill you. I know it."

"How!"

"I came from the future so I knew. I used a Time-Turner. Now listen. You know about the room you told me before? The one in the Department of Mysteries which contains power Voldemort doesn't have?"

"Yes, what about it?"

"You need to go there. There, you have a bigger chance of winning against Voldemort. That is where the final battle must happen."

"Where is it?"

"In Number Four, Privet Drive!"

"What? My uncle's house? How can that be?"

"Well according to the Archived book back at the Ministry, when your parent's died and when you were given to the Dursley's, Privet Drive became an Annex of the Department of Mysteries so that they can observe you and make sure you grew up okay. That is how the Ministry was able to track you when you still lived there. Remember Mrs. Figgs? She was an Unspeakable pretending to be a Squib who was assigned to monitor the extra annex of the Department of Mysteries which is 4 Privet Drive! The locked door in the Department of Mysteries was an emergency portal to Privet Drive!"

"How do I get there?"

Hermione went by the hall and took a small book out of a shelf. She could hear Voldemort conversing with some DeathEaters by the living room so she moved as quietly as she can. She returned to Harry with the book.

She waved her wand and pointed at the book and said "Portus!"

She whispered to Harry again. "This is a portal to Privet Drive. Go there. I'll do the rest in making sure Voldemort gets there too."

Harry reached out his hand through the gaps between the bars and touched the book. Immediately, he went zooming to the living room of 4- Privet Drive.

Hermione now had to think of a way to let Voldemort go zooming to Privet Drive through the portkey she created. She quietly crept towards the room where Voldemort was speaking with some DeathEaters. She hid behind the door as she peeked and saw Voldemort shaking hands with the Death Eaters, bidding farewell to them. Once the DeathEaters dissapparated, Voldemort started to walk out of the room towards Hermione's direction. She then strategically threw the book towards the room Voldemort was in. Puzzled, Voldemort walked towards the book to see what was going on. He looked at it and picked it up to look further but once he touched it, he disappeared, reappearing in Privet Drive.

Hermione took a deep breath and whispered to herself "This is it" as she disapparated towards 4 Privet Drive.
