Revelations
"Wormtail."
"What?"
"That's the answer, Wormtail."
"You mean Peter?" Ginny asked. "How is that possible? This is hundreds of years old."
"Are you sure that it's Wormtail? And exactly what does Wormtail know?" Hermione questioned.
"I don't know!" Harry yelled. "I think he knows where the cup is hidden."
"Well what do we do?" Ron asked.
"We can't do anything yet, we don't know how to get to him."
"Wait a sec," Hermione said, "look at this." She pointed at a symbol on the sketch Harry had given her.
"This is a symbol for book." She pointed to another symbol. "And this is a symbol for raven. Book of Ravenclaw."
"How do you know that?"
"I don't know."
"We should get back downstairs." Ginny said worriedly. "We can solve this later."
The rest of the party was great and by the time it was over, Harry was so drunk that he could barely stand.
"Harry, I think it's time for bed." Ron said after Harry had finished his third bottle.
"whatime tis' it?" He asked, words slurring.
"eleven-thirty."
"Gin, is tha' you?"
"It's Ron."
"Oh, your sister is sexy." Ron choked on his Ginger ale.
"What!"
"Your lil' sis is sexy."
"I think you've had enough Firewiskey."
Harry summoned his fourth bottle and took a long swig.
"And her butt is something else." Ron's ears turned pink.
"Harry, we shouldn't talk about this. Come on."
Harry stood up, swayed, and fell to the floor. Ron helped him up and they went up to bed
Harry woke up with a gigantic headache. He stumbled out of bed and found his way downstairs for breakfast.
"How are you dear?" Mrs. Weasley asked.
"I have a headache the size of Ireland." He replied. Mrs. Weasley gave him a potion. He drunk it and immediately felt relieved. Hermione came down the stairs.
"Harry, we need to talk." She whispered. She led him upstairs to her room and met Ron and Ginny.
"I can read some of this writing." She said. "This is secret and this is hollow." She pointed to the symbols as she said them. "This is, oh my…." Her eyes rolled up and she fell into Ron's arms.
"Hermione!" he shouted.
"Ginny get mum!" Harry yelled. She nodded and ran out of the room.
Hermione's eyes snapped open. Her brown eyes turned white and she started to writhe and scream in different languages.
Mrs. Weasley ran in with a sedative potion and once it got down her throat, she fell silent.
"We need to get her to ST. Mungo's!" Mrs. Weasley said, urgently.
Ron picked up the lifeless form of Hermione Granger and ran to the fireplace.
Harry waited in the waiting room with the Weasleys and the Grangers. The Healer came out to meet them.
"How is she?" Mr. Granger asked.
"She's sleeping." The healer said. "But her eyes are still white. We did a biospell on her brain. Something is being uploaded into her mind."
All jaws dropped.
"Could you repeat that?"
"Someone or something is planting information into her mind."
"Can we see her?" Ron asked.
"Sure."
Everyone filed in and crowded around her bed.
"Come on 'mione." Harry said. Ron held her hand. Her eyes snapped open and turned red.
"Terra keta utal." She said, and then she turned to Harry. "Freka de ono, Potter." Her eyes shut and she fell limp.
"What the hell was that?" Ron asked.
"I'm not sure." Harry said. Hermione screamed and sat up.
"Shit!" she yelled.
"Hermione what happened?"
"The tablet. The being. I can read the writing on it. We need to hurry; it says where the horcruxes are." She said deleriously
"What's this about a being?" Mrs. Granger asked.
"Mom, in a few days, it'll take control of my body, after that, I don't know." She said, teary eyed. She wiped them dry, and then said bravely. "Let's go. We have Horcruxes to find."
After they got back to the house, Hermione went straight to the tablet sketch and read it.
"The book of Ravenclaw is in Dublin, Ireland."
"That's it? It can't be that easy. Are you sure?"
"Of course I'm sure."
"Lovely." Harry muttered.
"You know, Harry, you don't have to go."
"Wait a sec." Harry said. "Damn! I have the apparition test in two weeks!"
"We can go before that."
"Fine, but we're doing it in the daytime."
Hermione went blank then screamed, "Freka de ono, Potter! Tekna fruka."
"Didn't we just go through this?" Ron asked. Hermione went back to herself and sighed.
"What about Wormtail?" Harry asked. "We can't just dismiss that he knows where the cup is and what about R.A.B.?"
"I can get to Wormtail." Hermione said after awhile.
"One thing at a time."
"NO! We need to do this now!" Hermione shouted.
"You need rest, come on." Ginny reassured her. Harry and Ron scampered to their rooms, all too happy to talk about this later.
I hope you enjoyed it
