"Well, you're a very loyal friend and you have at last chosen your destiny. Ava-" continued the loud voice. Harry heard his heart's pounding echoing through his ears and every step he took it felt like he was miles away but soon he came out from the statue and saw...Lucius Malfoy in the middle of an unforgivable curse.

"EXPELLIARMUS!" exclaimed Harry just in time.

"Well, well, well who do we have here?" said Lucius in his cold voice while Harry slowly slipped out his wand from his robes, but Lucius was too quick for him. He muttered some spell and Harry fell back a few feet away where he stood moments before, with a jolt.

Harry got back up on his feet and fired a spell towards Lucius but missed as Lucius made a move to get his wand back in his hands.

"Incarcerous." said Harry. Lucius got blinded, and Hermione came rushing to Harry rather than staying close to Lucius.

Lucius who was blinded yet gave a try of firing spells. He cast a Severing Charm and to his luck it hit Harry. Harry gave a cry as he hit the wall and remained their in pain. Lucius gave another try of firing a spell, stupefy, at Harry but instead it hit Hermione. Hermione screamed and as Lucius sensed that the spell had hit someone he repeated the spell stupefy where Hermione stood.

A bolt of several lights lightened the corridor all of a sudden, and the next thing Harry knew was that he was in the Hospital Wing along with Hermione. His head ached as he lay cautious on the bed and couldn't remember what had happened after Lucius had fired the spell towards him.

"How are you feeling, Mr. Potter? Any better?" asked Madam Pomfrey who came out with a bottle of rust colored potion.

"Only a bit." said Harry.

"Here, drink up. It'll help some more." Madam Pomfrey handed Harry the bottle and stood there till Harry drank up the whole.

A couple of weeks passed by and Harry and Hermione were allowed to leave the Hospital Wing. Neither had talked to each other since the day Hermione said that Harry's so called love was an attraction.

That night Harry pranced out of the common room and made a visit to Dumbledore concerning the night with Lucius. "Chocolate Strawberries." Siad Harry and the statue revealed the stairs leading to Dumbledore's office.

"Come in." Siad Dumbledore. Harry walked into the familiar room which still looked the same as his last visits he had made.

"Please, Have a seat."

"Thank You"

"Professor, I was wondering what happened to me after Lucius hit me with the spell and I was hoping that you would know by any chance."

"Ah Harry, yes that night was quite shocking. I got a notice from Mr. Filch that this was happening in the corridors, of course he couldn't do anything about it because...well, he isn't quite...lets say, professional at magic. I was the one who came in the corridor but as soon as Lucius saw me, he left that instant."

"Oh, but what happened to me? It felt like I was going to die, it felt like he struck an unforgivable curse at me."

"Yes, we experimented what had happened to you in the hospital wing that night and it turned out that he had done the Severing Charm, which is a spell close to the Avada Kedavra expect it wasn't an unforgivable curse. And this come in handy for dark wizards in order to kill, and you were lucky u didn't die."

"And what happened to Hermione?"

"Well, you might remember that once Professor Mcgonagall was hit by the spell, stupefy, several times and she was in quite critical condition but Mrs. Granger's condition was much more better than Professor Mcgonagall's." Explained Dumbledore and then continued, "Harry, Hogwarts has always been a safe place but I'm afraid it has lost some of its security so please Harry, PLEASE to careful and always stay on Hogwarts bounds and please don't wander off. Harry, your parents have given up their lives so you could live, don't take advantage of it and wander because your still in danger. Do your very best to keep out of trouble, will you Harry?"

"Yes, sure sir."

Christmas holiday's had at last come and some of the students were packing up their belongings to go and spend some time with their family members, like Hermione unlike Harry and Ron who were to stay at Hogwarts till the summer.

"Merry Christmas in advance and I hope you have a safe and fun holiday with your mum and dad." Said Ron as Hermione was about to depart.

"Merry Christmas in advance to you two too, and I'm not staying at my house I'm to visit this friend of mine because my parents are out of the country." Said Hermione.

"Then why don't you just stay at Hogwarts, if your parents aren't home?" Said Ron.

"My parents already told my friend that I was staying at her's for Christmas break."

"Oh...well bye then." Said Ron.

"Bye Hermione." Spoke Harry after so many silences between them.

"Bye, see you two later." Said Hermione and left.

There was really nothing to do at Hogwarts on Christmas breaks except for getting bored and finally, for once Harry wished that classes would be in session. That night Harry lay on his bed unable to sleep for some reason all he was thinking about was, Hermione. However, soon his eyes closed and he fell into a deep sleep.

The windows gave out some broad daylight and snow had slowed down, had morning arrived so quickly? Harry saw a little owl outside the window, he climbed out of his four-poster and opened the window to retrieve a letter. He put on his glasses and read the following words: We have her and we know this precious his worth your life...so come and save her...she's waiting for your arrival or she'll die exactly at midnight in 2 days. Who was this 'she' they were referring to and who were these people? The only precious one in his life that is a she, was Hermione. Could these people whoever they were taken Hermione? Harry couldn't think of any other "she" that was so much more precious than Hermione. Who were these people, where did they take her, why did they take her, what do they want? These questions zoomed through Harry's head as he sat on his bed in panic, he had to do something...quick...very quick.

I'll try and update a.s.a.p, schools approaching but i'd like to finish this story before school starts, so hang on tight. REVIEWS PLZ...they give me A LOT of motivation. Once again...check out my other story and plz review it, A Mysterious Young Lady and His Love. Oh and those pple who hate jk rowling just cuz the shipping wasn't h/hr...thats not cool pple...cuz shipping is basically about what characters u WANT to be together not which ones come out to be together in the books...the whole point of shipping is which characters u WANT together.

QoUtE: "Well... when we were in our first year, Harry — young, care-free, and innocent —" Harry snorted. He doubted Fred and George had ever been innocent.
