Another little problem with this chapter, the rating. There is a little bit of violence used in this chapter, and I am hoping that won't offend anyone. I was a little weary about changing the rating, but I don't think it is that bad. If you don't want to read this chapter, I will put a summary up of this chapter for the next, so don't worry. I appreciate all the reviews. Thanks for the advice Kristi.

Chapter 18

Not again

The rest of the week flew by. Harry and Hermione packed up their things and got ready for their long trip back to Hogwarts. They decided to take the Knight Bus, even though they both hated it, it was the quickest way home. Each of them walked outside, anxiously waiting to go back to their school. Within minutes a purple, double decker bus pulled home to Grimmauld Place. Stan stepped out, and grabbed their trunks while Harry and Hermione boarded the pus and paid the bus fare. Not many people were on the bottom deck of this bus. Two red haired teenagers sat on the bus, not noticing the two who just got in.

"Ron, Ginny!" Hermione called excitedly. She ran over to them and gave each of them a big hug. "It's great to see you guys again. How was your vacation?"

"Alright, same old" Ginny responded. "Yours?"

"We'll give you to ladies a chance to catch up," Harry said. Both he and Ron traveled upstairs to explore the rest of the bus. Hermione was pleased that they left; it gave her some time to talk to Ginny, alone.

"Look, Gin, I need some advice."

"Alright."

"Harry kissed me."

"Wow, that's awesome, but why do you need advice on that?"

"I didn't kiss him back."

"Oh…"Ginny said blankly.

"I mean I can dream about him kissing me and wish he does. Finally, he gets up the guts o kiss me and I can't even show him that I care. He must think I'm such a jerk." Hermione started rambling on about Harry. Soon, both he and Ron came into Ginny's view. She tried to get Hermione's attention to stop talking but she couldn't. "I mean how hard is it to say Harry-oh, hi." Hermione's face turned a crimson red. She could not believe that she just did that.

"Nice cover up," Ginny whispered, with sarcasm in her voice.

"You two are back talking," Ginny said, changing the subject. They spent the rest of the ride talking about the mishap with Viktor, besides the time they spent getting thrown off their chairs. They finally arrived to their home where they spent more than half the year, Hogwarts. Each of the four was very excited that they were back. Hermione was most enthusiastic to be back, since she spent the most time away from the school.

"What ever happened to the DA?" Hermione the next morning before classes.

"It like died. I haven't had one since the last time you and I talked." Harry stated.

"Well then plan one. They were fun last year. Plus we need to be trained how to defend ourselves against death eaters and Voldemort." Ron winced at the sound of his name.

"Okay, we can have another meeting." Harry said easily giving in.

"Ron, you still got your coin?" Ron reached in his pocket. They were all a little shocked he still had it.

"Do you actually think all the members still have it?" Ron asked.

"It's worth a try." Hermione took out her wand and taped the coin, repeating the date of the meeting they decided on. The coin suddenly turned very hot. Suddenly, an owl came over to Hermione, carrying a magazine. She opened it unsure of what it might be and curious as to what the reader might have wanted her to read. She found an article, which seemed very interesting.

Quiditch Player Thrown of his broom

By love

Famous Quiditch player, Viktor Krum was recently heart broken by none other than his long lost teen love, Hermione Granger. Granger, a 16 year old student at Hogwarts, has heart broken many famous people including Harry Potter.

According to Mr. Krum, it all started when Viktor ran into her at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries. After he met her, he immediately decided to ask her out. With little persuasion, Hermione agreed. But, over the course of her date, things started to get hectic. When they went out, Ms. Granger ran into her new found lover, Harry Potter. According to Viktor, Hermione left Viktor as soon as she caught sight of Harry. When Viktor objected, she stunned him. Mr. Krum is now very devastated and will not even step foot on a Quiditch pitch. We can all blame the loss of a great player on the two timing Hermione Granger.

"This is bull," Hermione said throwing magazine over to Harry and Ron, as the quickly read it.

"Who the hell wrote this?" Harry said after he finished reading the magazine.

"Anyomous," Ron said. "Do you think it could have been Rita Skeeter?"

"Doubt it, but I'll go owl my parents to see if she's still in her little jar." Hermione said, exiting the Great hall.

"And there she goes again." Harry said disappointed.

"Look, I really think you should talk to her about your feelings, mate."

"I already have, she doesn't like me."

With that comment Ron spit out his juice. It flew all over the table.

"What's so funny about that?" Harry asked him. "Ron, what do you know that I don't?"

"Nothing," Ron said with a smirk on his face. "WE better get to class. We've got Potions right?"

"Yup, its way to early to have Potions," Harry said yawning.

"No, its way to early to have to deal with the Slytherins."

"Yeah, that too."

After grabbing their Potion's book up in the common room, Harry and Ron proceeded down to the dungeons, into Snape's classroom. Harry and Ron took the first two seats at a table of three that was empty. Hermione soon traveled into the classroom, just before the Slytherins.

"So, the couple's back together. The perfect three-some, Potty, Weasel bee and mudblood. Boy, mudblood, you and Potty seem to be getting really comfy. You might want to watch your back, Potter, she's a heartbreaker. Oh, wait you would know already since Cho broke your heart."

"Since when have you become an expert on dating? How many girlfriends have you had, none?" Harry fought back at him.

"Hey, I've had..."

"Sorry Malfoy, bribing them doesn't count."

The whole class's attention was now drawn to this argument. All of the Gryffindors were now laughing hysterically.

"Mr. Potter, 5 points from Gryffindor for that smart remark." Hermione and Harry looked at each other and started laughing, remembering the impressions they made the other day.

"Another five points from Gryffindor for you disrupting the class, Ms. Granger. Is there anything else I can do for you?" Snape said in his mean, threatening voice.

The class suddenly quieted down. It was a normal potions class for the six years. Just like every other year in the past, Harry and Ron searched for the Potion's ingredients, while Hermione brewed it up. At the end of class, Hermione took a vial of the potion up to the desk and sat back down. She walked back over to the table just before the door opened. A weak Viktor Krum walked through the door. He glanced over at Hermione and quickly turned away, not making any suspicions to obvious.

"Professor what's he doing here?" Hermione blurted out.

"Ms. Granger, speaking out of turns again, another five points from Gryffindor. I know you and Krum have, well, a history, but he has a right to be here just as much as you do, he's an auror in training." Snape then took his attention from Hermione over to Krum as the class lit up into conversation.

"Not another death eater working at the ministry," Hermione said to Harry and Ron.

"I know. Do you guys notice the danger of what we did last week, we might get expelled," Harry said, thinking like Hermione.

"Yeah, but we haven't been yet," Ron said as they both agreed.

'That's it," Hermione said. "They can't get us expelled. So Viktor must have written that article or took an interview for it."

"That seems like a good conclusion."

Snape then walked over to the group, "Hermione, Viktor would like to see you."

Hermione got up, telling Ron and Harry not to worry. She followed Viktor out the door, a little scared herself. She knew he was going to make her pay for what she did to him. Viktor lead Hermione into a classroom, which was empty except for a few desks. Hermione sat at one. Within seconds, Viktor pulled out his wand and swished it, making a rope appear that tied her up. The door opened to the classroom. She was hoping that it was anyone, someone that would save her. Dolores Umbridge walked straight through the doors.

'Umbridge, I thought she died last year." Hermione thought, trying to strain her memory.

"Are you ready Dolores?" Krum asked the lady Hermione hated.

"Whenever you are Viktor."

"Hermione, we both have suffered a great fate because of you. You have ruined our lives. You've become way to close to that Potter bastard, and with you, he might survive instead of suffer the fate of Lord Voldemort. We have decided to make you his equal.

Hermione stared at Viktor, confused. He reached into his pocket and took out a small knife. He walked behind her and cut a small lightening bolt into the back of her neck, symbolizing Harry's scar. She felt the blood trickle down her. She squirmed trying to get free. Viktor untied her, knowing she would soon be too weak to leave. Hermione slowly got up, acting like she could hardly moved. She picked up her arm and punched Viktor in the face, giving him less than what he deserved. She ran out of the classroom, almost crying from the pain.

A/N-Okay, its done, chapter whatever were on, 18. So, do you guys think that should have had an M rating? I think it should have had like a T+. I will put a summary up, or try to for anyone who didn't read this chapter. Sorry about this inconvenience, but I never thought I would write that, but the story just flowed, and I was like aww, what am I going to do? Well, please, please review, lol.
