I only got one review on the Sequel. Don't you all want to know what is going to happen to Harry and Hermione? Whatever, your loss.

The Price of Love.

Chapter 2: Old and Missing faces.

Harry POV

I slept quietly though out the night until I heard Hermione talking to herself.

"Leave me alone." I could make out.

I opened my eyes and saw her toss and turn on the bed next to me.

"No let me go!" Hermione said louder.

I sat straight up on my elbows and nudged Hermione. "Hermione." I said.

"No Harry!" Hermione said.

"Hermione wake up." I said again.

"HARRY!" Hermione said as she sat straight up, eyes popping open.

Hermione looked around but continued to breath heavy.

"Hermione, what's wrong?" I asked.

Hermione snapped her head back when I spoke. She then fell back on the mattress and started to cry next to me.

"God why do I keep on having these dreams?" she asked.

"It's ok Hermione." I said.

"No it's not! I am so sick of seeing you become tortured! I hate seeing you in pain, and there is nothing I can do about it." Hermione said with tears flowing down her face.

"You know its never going to happen."

"Yeah but I hate it! This is all Malfoy's fault! I just want it to be one night where I don't see the love of my life in pain, and there's nothing I can do about it." Hermione said.

"It's a dream 'Mione." I said.

"I just don't know what to do anymore Harry." Hermione said leaning against me crying into my shoulder.

I wrapped my arms around her the best I could. "Shh, Hermione, it's ok. Everything is ok." I said.

Hermione didn't respond. I held her in my arms as the sun rose that morning. The clock next to her bed began to ring as Hermione finally fell asleep again. I brushed her hair back, not wanting to wake her.

"Harry?" she asked.

"Morning." I said.

"What happened?" Hermione asked.

"It does mater, its time to get up." I said.

Hermione sat up and leaned against the backboard of her bed.

"Come on and get Hermione, you have a whole day of classes to look forward to." I said getting up and out of the bed.

"For once, I wish we didn't have to go to class today." I said.

"Are my ears deceiving me? Hermione Granger doesn't want to go to classes. That's like saying I don't want to go to a Quidditch game." I said.

"Shut up." Hermione said throwing a pillow at my head.

"Common sleepy pie, get up." I said.

Hermione mumbled something as I left her room and walked into the bathroom, trying to get ready for the first day of our seventh year.

Hermione POV

Later that day I made my way down to the Great Hall while Harry was still getting ready back at our room.

I walked though seeing the familiar faces form my house and school. I finally decided to take a seat down at the table up in front of the room where the King and Queen ate their meals. As soon as I touched the table, a piece of paper emerged out of my plate. My schedule. I scanned over today's classes and relieved that I had the morning off.

"Boo!" Harry said grabbing my shoulders. I didn't flinch like I should have though.

"Morning Harry." I said instead.

"You seem happy this morning." Harry said sitting down next to me.

"I have the morning off, although I have double potions after lunch today, I still get the entire morning off." I said happily.

"Well I hate to bother your parade but something seems to be missing this year." Harry said.

"And what would that be?" I asked curious.

"Have you not noticed? There are two students missing this year." Harry said.

I quickly scanned the room though out the tables. "Who are you talking about?" I asked.

Harry leaned in close to me so that no one else could hear what he said. "Dumbledore told me that he received a note two weeks ago saying that Draco Malfoy and Ginny Weasley will not be attending Hogwarts this year." Harry said in a whisper.

I covered my hand over my mouth and looked over to the Slytherin table. Sure enough Draco was not sitting by Crabbe or Goyle. The same went with Ginny; she was nowhere in sight.

"Why didn't you tell me?" I asked.

"I didn't want you to worry, I was going to tell you last night but after letting you know about my Aunt and Uncle then hearing about how you still have been having those dreams, I didn't think it was the best idea at the moment." Harry said.

"Harry what if it is finally happening? What if all my dreams come true?" I started to panic. If seeing Harry tormented in my dreams brought me tears, what was going to happen to me if it happen for real?

"Hermione, I thought that this would be the best thing for you. You have to understand though, what is happening in your dreams is never going to happen." Harry said.

"But everything is coming into view now Harry. Draco and Ginny are probably off with Voldemort and Lucius, plotting to kill you." I said.

"Hermione," Harry started.

"No, not now Harry, I need to be alone right now." I said and left the Great Hall, racing back to my room.

I didn't see Harry at lunch. I didn't want to anyway. How could he not tell me? I mean, it would at least help if anything. I mean I would want to know if Draco was missing, but I never expected anything like this out of Ginny.

After potions, I dropped my books off and headed back to the Great Hall for dinner. Unfortunately for me, Harry was already there.

"I don't really feel like talking to you right now." I said.

"You don't have to." Harry said. "As long as you just listen to me."

"Fine, what could possible be worst right now?" I asked.

"I know I should have told you sooner, but I didn't want to tell you when you were already feeling so sad. And I didn't want you to hear it from someone else. I knew I had to tell you this morning, or else you would have heard it. I didn't mean to hurt you Hermione." Harry said.

I bent my head down and let out a sigh. "I should be saying sorry for acting so foolish this morning." I said.

"No, you shouldn't have to. You had ever right to be mad at me." Harry said.

I held his hand as everyone started gathering in the Great Hall after a long day of the first day of a long year.

Ginny POV

I awoke with a start from my sleep. I looked around and saw Draco hovering above me.

"Wake up." Draco said.

"Why?" I asked.

"Because my father wants us to meet with him in an hour and you have been asleep all day." Draco said.

"Well I wouldn't have to if you would let me sleep at night instead of hitting me." I said.

"What did you say?" Draco asked.

"I mean, I'll just take a quick shower and met you out in front of my room in about half and hour." I said.

Draco left me alone in my room.

I sighed of relief. I moved my leg a little and then stopped, pain shot up and down my leg from last night. I could still hear him hitting me. I never wanted this to happen to me. Why did I have to get so mad at Harry and Hermione? Maybe if I didn't, I would still be ok. I might still be at Hogwarts and be enjoying life instead of hiding in fear of my so-called boyfriend.

But I was so scared to even say anything. I knew what he was capable of. I quickly hoped out of bed and ran hot water into the bathtub. As I undressed myself, I looked onto my wrist and saw what had happened to me over summer. I traced the Dark mark on my skin with my index finger as I hoped in the warm water and tried to relax my pain away.

I hated my life. I wish Draco would just kill my already and get it over with. I want to be free of him for the rest of my life.

I finished up and changed into proper clothes and walked out of my room finding Draco pacing the halls.

"Took you long enough, now hurry up." Draco said as he led the way to his father's room.

I pulled my emerald robe closer to my body feeling the cold air in the mansion. I followed Draco through twists and turns in the huge house until he finally stopped and knocked on a large door in front of us.

"Why do we have to met with your father again?" I asked.

"He has some information for us." Draco snapped at me.

The door creaked open in front of us and Lucius appeared.

"Welcome Draco, and I see your brought Ginny with you. Very good. Go on inside, I need to talk to Miss Weasley alone for a moment Draco." Lucius said.

Draco entered the room and shut the door behind him. I felt Luicus's cold eyes staring down on me.

"My darling, you will not believed how thrilled I am that you have decided to join Draco with Me and my Lord. Although I must ask, what was with the change of heart?" he asked.

"In my 5th year I realized how foolish Harry Potter was. I was so furious Draco and I paired up to make his life a living hell. I want to finish my work and I know that helping the Dark Lord is the best thing I can do for now." I lied. Draco told me that if I ever told anyone what he was doing to me that he would kill me. I might as well lied; maybe I could finally be happy for once. But saying that Draco abused me to Lucius Malfoy was a big mistake.

"I see, well come inside, there is much to talk about." Lucius ushered me into the dark room. Draco sat at the table alone and I took a seat down next to him as Lucius sat down across from us.

"Now as you both know, Draco had done a splendid job on the Dreaming Jinx with Hermione last year. Apparently, she is so scared that if anything happened to Harry, she couldn't forgive herself. Harry on the other hand is helping her out in any way possible. Promising her that that stuff can never happen. Foolish boy. Now I must tell you what is going to happen to Harry Potter.

The Dark Lord is growing inpatient, as you both know. He wants Potter dead. Not only does he want that, he wants everyone that Harry cares about to suffer as well. The Dark Lord has plans to kidnap Hermione. He knows Harry will do anything to get her back."

Sorry I took so long to update guys. But I hope it was worth the wait. Review please!
