"Harry what are you doing here?" Hermione asked.
Harry walked forward and put something in Hermione's hand. She looked down, it was the ring.
"Harry I couldn't possibly use this" Hermione said while trying to put it back into Harry's hand, But he wouldn't let her.
"Hermione please, Just use it believe me it helps just to talk" Harry said.
"Ok I will, thank you Harry" Hermione said as she hugged him.
"That's okay Hermione, I know what it feels like" Harry said.
"But what will I say to him?" Hermione said.
"Don't worry it will come to you, I'll just go now okay" Harry said.
"Okay I'll see you around, Bye" Hermione called.
"Bye" He called back as he left the room.
Hermione sat down on the bed and just stared at the ring for a long time. Then she finally began to turn the little circle.
"Draco Malfoy" Hermione clearly spoke.
She waited but no one came. Hermione's heart was racing where was he. She knew just who to ask. She looked back down at the ring but this time she said Sirius Black. Moments later he appeared.
"Hello Hermione! It's good to see you again" He said cheerfully.
"Hello Sirius. It's great to see you again as well. I can't talk for long I just needed to ask you something" Hermione said quickly.
"Ask away" he said.
"Is…Is Draco Malfoy there?" Hermione asked.
"No he's not here why?" Sirius asked.
"Because he supposed to be dead" Hermione replied.
"Well every dead person comes here and he's not here Hermione" Sirius said.
"I have to go now Sirius I'll talk to you later" Hermione said.
"Okay goodbye Hermione" Sirius said with one last smile before she turned it off. Then Hermione sat there in her thoughts. 'Was he alive?' She quickly got out of the bed and ran as fast as she could to Dumbledore's office. Surely he would have some answers.
Hermione raced to the staircase and because she was a prefect she knew the password already (Lemon Drops) she quickly said it and ran up the stairs. She knocked on his door and waited.
"Come in Miss. Granger" she heard a voice say on the other end of the door.
She pushed the door open and walked in. Dumbledore was sitting at his desk writing what seemed to be a letter. He looked up at Hermione and gave her a weak smile.
"What can I do for you?" he asked.
"Professor you know about the ring I gave to Harry right?" Hermione asked.
"Yes I do" He replied.
"Well Harry lent it to me so I could talk to Draco but when I said his name no one came so I asked Sirius and he said that he wasn't there does…does this mean he is alive?" Hermione said.
"Well maybe you are at the moment the only person who can find that out" Dumbledore said.
"How?" Hermione asked.
"Hermione have you ever heard of De Poort van het Leven?" He asked.
"No" Hermione replied.
"It is Dutch for The Portal of the Living" Dumbledore said.
"What does it do?" she asked.
"Well if the spell is preformed correctly and only few wizards can do so then the person that you most desire to see will be transported inside the portal with you from wherever they are at that current moment" Dumbledore said.
"So if I go inside then Draco will come to me" Hermione said.
"Yes" he said smiling.
"Ok I'll do it" Hermione said.
Dumbledore muttered a spell and flicked his wand next to Hermione almost instantly a door that looked like glittering water appeared. Hermione was about to step then Dumbledore said something.
"Hermione I must warn you that he may not be the Draco that you know" Dumbledore said.
"I know but I'm willing to take that chance" Hermione said and with that she stepped through the portal. She arrived on the other side and gasped at what she saw.
