Monty sat down beside her best mate, Melanie Hathaway, at the Gryffindor table. She was sipping carrot and coriander soup, with a manner that clearly showed that she was on the watch for anything unusual. At once she spotted Monty's stricken face.

"Spill." She said.

"M-mel? You k-know how I-I've been s-s-seeing things?"

"About You-Know-Who?"

"Uh-huh, w-well it's t-true, I have t-t-to fight h-him with- with Harry!"

"You WHAT?" Mel yelled, gaining lots of strange looks from around her.

"Ssshhh!" Monty whispered, her golden-brown hair hanging over her blotchy face. Mel bent her head low and Monty whispered to her everything that had happened.

"So, you and Harry, Harry Potter, both survived, and will defeat him with the power of love?" she said, colour draining from her cheeks. "Monty, it's so dangerous, you can't! You, face the dark lord, a sixteen year old?"

"Mel, I have to. It's the only way."

"Well then." Mel drew breath nervously. "I'm coming with you."

Monty burst into a fresh flood of tears and hugged her friend. Over Mel's shoulder she saw another figure enter the Great Hall, with messy black hair and a lightning scar on his forehead. She gasped.

"Mel, Harry's here. He's going to come over here." She was right, Harry had looked over at them and had started making his way towards her, as Ron and Hermione hurried over to him, Hermione fawning over him and Ron gawping as he told them.

He reached the table where Monty sat, her brown eyes full of tears and her hair flowing down to her waist. Mel sat beside her, her chocolate brown hair tied back, with her arm around her shoulders.

"Monty?" Harry asked, nervously. Monty noticed Hermione giving her lethal looks behind Harry's back.

"Y-Yes?" she replied, looking up from behind her hair.

"Um…we sh-should talk about t-this. Do-do you want to g-go somewhere quieter?"

"Y-yes." Mel grabbed Hermione's robes from behind her as she made to wrench Monty's hair out as she and Harry made their way out of the hall again. Ron sat on one side of Mel, Hermione on the other.

"Why was it her? What does she know about anything? I was with Harry when we saved the Philosophers Stone, and when we saved Sirius, and I helped him through that Triwizard Tournament, and we were all there with those death eaters in fifth year…" Hermione ranted on, until Ron interrupted.

"Hermione, Harry'll never be able to defeat You-Know-Who if your acting like a stroppy little lady behind his and Monty's back."

"Well said Ron!" Mel said, shooting Hermione a poisonous look. Ron's ears turned pink and he muttered "Thanks."

Monty stared at the ground, she didn't know where Harry was taking her to, and she was afraid to look at him too. Suddenly they came to a halt in front of a solid wall, and Harry walked past it 3 times.

"Harry, what…?" Monty's question was answered, however, by a door appearing suddenly and Harry pulled her inside. There they found a table with two armchairs and some hot mugs of tea. Behind them was a bookshelf, full of anti-dark arts books, and there was a roaring fire in front of the table. Harry took a seat and Monty followed.

"Monty, I know how you feel, ok? It's a shock I know, and I have to tell you that it may be more of a shock for you than for me because…because I already knew I loved you."

Monty looked at Harry, her eyes wide. "But you…Hermione…"

"It was a dare. Malfoy." Harry said, speaking the name with disgust.

"Really? Harry, I have to confess something to you too. B-before this all happened I um…I had a sort of crush on er…someone. And that someone w-was you."

Before Monty could say anything more Harry had pulled her into a deep kiss.

After a while, Monty pulled away. "Harry, how are we supposed to do this? I don't know anything about fighting Voldemort or Death Eaters…and I'm rubbish at Defence Against The Dark Arts."

"No your not! You got an Exeeds Expectations, right?"

"Yes…but…"

"And you got an Outstanding for Charms, Transfiguration and Potions!"

"Well, they're not much help, are they?"

"Of course they are! You got full marks on your charm paper, and half of the defence work is charms, and no-one will poison us if you can sense a poison, and you can help us become animaguses!" Monty smiled.

"So, we're just going to…fight him?"

"Yes. We can do this Monty. We have love. Voldemort has no love, no mercy, no heart. Together we can defeat him, and we will be victorius!" Monty's eyes sparkled.

"Monty…your eyes…"

"M-Misty? I'm a- I'm a seer." Harry knew she found that hard, he could tell.

"Wow…a proper one?"

"Mmm. But Harry, are Ron and Hermione coming too? Because Mel, you know Mel Hathaway, she is."

"Ron is, and he'll be happy that she's coming, I can tell you! But I don't know about Hermione. She wasn't a pretty sight when I told her."

"She looked okay to me…"

"I at least knew one charm, hides a persons true emotions, I think its called the "Demote Charm." No-one but I could see her."

"Oh…well, it's your choice." Monty's eyes misted over heavily. Suddenly she dropped to the ground. She could see Harry, trying to fight Voldemort, but Hermione was there and she was cursing her, Monty, and Harry ran, and threw himself over her body. Then there was a yell, and a high, cold laugh, and a thump as Harry's body fell, limply onto the ground. She screamed and regained conciousness. She was shaking.

"Monty! What's wrong?" Harry was kneeling beside her.

"H-harry. Hermione. S-she's going t-to kill y-you. She w-was try-trying to kill m-me, b-but you saved me and s-she got you in-instead!"

"She's not coming. She can't, and your eyes were…were like ice, misty ice. It'll happen if we let her. It'll be us four, Ron, me, you and Mel. Monty, we have to go, can you walk?" Monty nodded and he led her out of the room, back to her dormitory and kissed her goodnight. Monty sank onto her bed, and looked at Hermione Granger, opposite her.

"For someone who is so smart, she can be incredibly stupid." She murmured as she sat, the moonlight giving her eyes an incredible look. She heard Hermione's voice come into her mind.

"Professor McGonnagal says that Divinations a very imprecise branch of magic."

She fell to sleep, hating every particle of Hermione Granger.
