Chapter 3: The worst of all.

Hermione POV

I walked down the halls of Hogwarts during my late night patrol. The dark eerie corridors blew cool wind as my shoes made the only noise hearable.

"Hermione." Harry said from behind.

I turned and saw him walk up to me with a smile on his face.

"What are you so happy about?" I asked.

"Oh nothing." Harry said as he stopped in front of me although the smile from his face wouldn't go away.

"What?" I asked.

"Guess what?" Harry asked as he wrapped his arm around my waist.

"Harry," I said.

"We are both done for the night and nobody else is around." Harry smiled.

"How do you know?" I asked.

"I checked my map of course." Harry said.

"Oh Harry, not here, let's just go back to the room." I laughed a little.

"It's way to far away." Harry said.

I wrapped my arms then around Harry's neck as he leaned in and kissed me. But then as soon as his lips touched mine a sharp pain shot though out my body. I pulled away and the pain left.

"What?" Harry asked.

I shook my head. "Nothing." I said.

Harry just smiled as he kissed me again. Sure enough the pain came back but this time I heard something.

"Hermione!" I heard a voice scream inside my head.

I broke apart from the kiss quickly and looked around. No one was there.

"Hermione are you sure you are feeling alright?" Harry asked me.

"Didn't you hear it?" I asked.

"Hear what?" Harry asked me.

"That voice. Someone shouted my name." I said continuing to look around.

"Hermione your probably just hearing stuff." Harry insisted.

"You mean you didn't hear it?" I asked.

"Hermione are you sure you are feeling alright?" Harry asked.

I shook my head. "You're probably right, I am probably just hearing stuff."

Harry kissed me again and the voice came back more clear and loud than the last time.

"Hermione no!" The voice shouted. This time I recognized it though. Harry was screaming my name inside my head. I tore apart from the kiss and pulled away from Harry.

"Harry cut it out." I said.

"Hermione what are you talking about?" Harry asked.

"You, your screaming your name in my head." I said.

"What are you talking about, no I'm not. I wouldn't even do that to you even if I could." Harry said.

I took in a deep breath. "But I heard you. You screamed my name." I said.

"Hermione maybe you should go down to the hospital wing." I said.

I shook my head. "No, no, like you said. I am just probably hearing things again." I said moving closer to Harry.

"Are you sure?" Harry asked.

"Of course I am." I smiled. "Everything is alright."

Harry then kissed me again. I still heard the voice though.

"Stop!" Harry shouted.

'I am just hearing voices' I told myself. I didn't pull apart from the kiss though.

"Let her go!" Harry yelled.

'Your just imagining it Hermione.' I felt myself become dizzy. I felt the world around me fade away. I couldn't feel Harry anymore. Everything was becoming cold. I couldn't feel Harry's lips against mine anymore.

"Leave her alone!" Harry shouted inside my head.

"Hermione, Hermione wake up!" Harry shouted at me.

I felt fire surround my body as I tried to move. I screamed as I feel back and hit the cold ground.

I was in a cold room. I was chained against a table by my wrists and ankles. Suddenly before I could look at my surrounding I felt the table that was holding me move. My head was moving up and my feet were moving down as I got to look at the room I was being held in.

The room was gray with dim lights all around the room. This room had no windows and there were only four other people in the room with me.

In a far corner someone was laying on the floor wearing a black robe and I could only make out red hair. Facing me was another man I had only met in my nightmares. Voldemort was wearing a black robe and had his wand in one hand. To his left and also wearing a black robe was the blonde haired boy known as Draco Malfoy.

"Leave her alone!" I heard a shout from behind Voldemort.

I looked behind and saw Harry standing there, his wand in his right hand.

"Harry!" I screamed.

"Shut up wench." Draco snapped at me.

"Don't you dare talk to her that way!" Harry yelled at him.

"Shut up Potter." Voldemort hissed.

"Leave Hermione alone she didn't do anything. First you killed my parents and Sirius is dead as well. And now you have the only real person I had ever loved in this world." Harry yelled. I could see tears stream down his eyes from behind his glasses.

"I do this because not only did you get away from me as a child and countless times in your years at Hogwarts, you will feel my wrath and all that you ever cared for as well." Voldemort said.

Harry looked up at Voldemort with pure rage in his eyes. "Don't you dare touch her."

Voldemort ignored Harry's comment and turned to face me. Those red eyes stared right at me. His wand rose up and pointed straight at me. "Crucio!" Voldemort shouted.

Suddenly, my entire body was on fire. I knew this had to be another nightmare but even though people say you can't feel pain in your sleep but the pain was so intense I didn't quite know if I was still asleep.

My skin felt like it was bursting and needles were everywhere on me. The curse lifted and I started to breath heavy.

"Stop!" Harry shouted.

Voldemort ignored him again and continued to look at me.

"What do you see in him?" I heard him ask me.

I looked up and saw those red eyes again.

"I love him." I managed to say.

Harry suddenly stood up straight and looked at me.

"So you wouldn't want anything bad to happen to him now would you?" Voldemort asked.

I couldn't answer. I knew I was still dreaming but this was no ordinary dream. This is the dream I had been having all summer but I was seeing the whole thing. Half of me wanted to tell him that I would do anything in the world for Harry but then I knew he would kill me and if I could feel the Crucio, could the Avada Kedavra work on me to? Could I die sleeping?

"Answer me." Voldemort said.

"No." I simply answered.

"Good then, you wouldn't this to happen now would you." Voldemort said turning his back to me.

Harry finally alerted himself but it was too late, Voldemort raised his wand and had it pointed at Harry.

"Crucio!" Voldemort cried aloud.

Harry fell to the ground crying aloud. The noise alone brought tears to my eyes. I screamed to the top of my lungs and turned my head away so I wouldn't see Harry in pain. Draco on the other hand wouldn't let this happen. He came to me and grabbed my head and forced to watch Harry twitch on the ground in front of me.

"NO! STOP! HARRY!" I screamed to the top of my lungs.

"Look at the mighty Harry Potter now. Look at your precious Harry now Miss Granger." Voldemort said.

"LET HIM GO!" I yelled out.

Voldemort released the curse and Harry lied on the ground and started to breath heavy.

"Now, seeing as how you don't want anything to happen to your precious darling and he doesn't want anything to happen to you, I get to have some fun." Voldemort said.

"You sick bastard! Don't you dare touch her!" Harry said from the ground.

Voldemort turned to Harry and smiled. "For seventeen years I have wanted to kill you, now I have you under my wing. I could easily kill you right now but I want to see you suffer."

Harry sat up and grabbed his chest and tried to slow his breathing down. I looked at my chains that tied me down to this table. They were bound tightly against my skin. I tugged at one that gave just a little room.

"Don't try anything cute now mudblood." Draco sneered at me. "Those chains are bound by dark magic, magic that you can't read out of a book."

"Draco let her be." Voldemort snapped. "Let me take care of this." Voldemort turned back to Harry as he stood up again. "Crucio!" Voldemort shouted at Harry putting him under the curse again.

Harry fell back to the floor and screamed in pain.

"NO! HARRY! STOP IT! STOP IT!" I yelled to the top of my lungs.

"Why should I?" Voldemort spat back at me.

"BECAUSE I LOVE HIM! PLEASE STOP IT!" I screamed as I felt tears falling from my face.

Voldemort stopped the curse once he noticed my tears.

"Oh I can't take this emotional crap." Voldemort said. "Get to your feet Potter, I didn't want her to suffer I wanted you to suffer so watch this."

Harry looked up at me. I saw his lips move and say 'Don't worry.'

Voldemorts wand rose up to my chest. Harry stood up and bared his own wand.

"Avada Kedavra!" Voldemort shouted.

The lights went out around me. I felt myself becoming weak and falling, falling into nothing.

"NO! HERMIONE!" was the last words from Harry I heard.

I fell back into my own body. I woke with a start and sat straight up, alert. I looked around and found myself in the hospital wing.

"Hermione." I heard Harry say besides me.

I looked and I saw him sit down by my side.

"Harry, your alright." I said as he embraced me in a hug.

"Hermione are you ok?" Harry asked. "You blacked out and fell, you have been screaming in your sleep. And a while ago you were burning hot."

"He attacked me. I mean he asked us both." I said.

"Hermione what are you talking about?" Harry asked.

"He, he killed me." I said.

"Voldemort did this to you?" Harry asked.

"I felt the Crucio curse on me Harry, he is hurting me in my sleep." I said pulling apart from Harry. "And then I saw you in pain, on the ground and I screamed out to you. Harry it is getting worse. I can feel the pain in my dreams now."
