Chapter II: Memories & Nightmares

"No one will die tonight, I promise you," Harry whispered. Harry was comforting Ginny and Hermione, who were shaking and close to tears. Harry, Ron, and Neville silently approached the burned down house in Godric's Hollow.

"Okay, remember the plan, we all go behind the house, find that key, fight whoever gets in our way, and then Apparate back to Sirius'. Got it?" asked Harry.

"I'm all good. 'Mione, Ginny remember to be on watch. Luna, you can Apparate to Sirius' once Neville gives you the signal. Remember this is our last mission," warned Ron.

"C'mon, it's almost time," hissed Neville.

Hermione twisted and turned in her sleep. She was having those nightmares again.

"RUN! Ginny watch out! NO!"

"Can't save your little friend now! Hahaha!" Miscellaneous voices were haunting her mind.

"I see we meet again Mr. Potter. I hope you have learned to duel this time."

"Voldemort! Enough of your foolish games. Your plan of ruling the world has failed you-"

"Oh shut up little boy. My plan has just begun. You see, my followers are adults. You, on the other hand-eh-are, how do I put it? Ah, yes PATHETIC! Why I see you do not have Dumbledore here to protect you. To bad. I was hoping to kill him too."

"Voldemort, I've had enough. It is time for me to end this war. AVADA KEDAV-NO!"

"Foolish boy." Fred had tried to attack Voldemort from behind, but failed and received a fatal blow to the head by a Death Eater.

Hermione jerked up and awoke with tears flowing from her eyes. She lay down and stared at the ceiling, trying to clear her mind. After an hour or so, she fell asleep.
