Summary: Something happened that changed the lives of the Harry, Ron And Hermione altogether. Something that ripped them apart. Something that caused even death. It wasn't possible to drift back to the old times now...or was it?
Azkaban had a horrible and justified reputation. Located in the middle of the North Sea, Azkaban had some magic to it that hid it from the view of the muggles. Its remote location was more of a precaution than a safety measure. The mass presence of the dementors, who guarded the prison, rendered the inmates incapable of happiness and forced them to relive their worst memories, as they became gradually helpless and very often severely insane. Dementors were extremely difficult even to injure. The only spell effective against them was the Patronus Charm, which only repelled them, however it didn't kill them.
She was crouched in a dark corner of the cell. The cell was eerie and unpleasant. A pungent smell invaded the cell. She felt as if the dementors had made sure that she was as uncomfortable as possible. She didn't know the time of the day. But she was sure that she had been here for at least two days. An expected tear rolled down her cheeks. She lifted her head up slowly squinting as a bright light made its way to her eyes. Her life already felt miserable. She dreaded as the dementors guarding her cell looked at her. She sat silently and crouched her head back down hoping they will think that she was asleep. But she knew pretty well that it was not going to stop them from sucking the little amount of happiness from her.
"Happiness," she thought. "What was it?" Did she really feel even a millimeter cube of happiness after what had happened?
She shook her head and let the tears flow. She didn't deserve to live. She had committed a murder, after all. She had muttered the killer curse at him. At the one she loved so much. At him, who she had thought was her soul mate. "Why? Why did you cheat us?" she silently asked him in her mind.
Suddenly she felt cold, very cold. She felt her breath catch in her throat. The sensation was familiar and she knew what was going to happen. Her stomach contracted. Her mind screamed. She could feel the creature laugh at her as she struggled to think of happy thoughts. "Think. Think" her brain said but instead her mind was hearing some other voice… a man's, and she very well recognized it.
"I can't believe this. You sold us out?" Harry bellowed.
He smirked. "I am really sorry Harry. So what are you going to do to me? Kill me?" he taunted.
Harry raised his wands and pointed at his chest. Harry looked into his eyes for a moment and then pulled his wand down.
"Can't do it, can you?"
"I am not like you"He laughed, a high-pitched laugh.
"You are right. I am not like you."
He raised his wand at Harry. Harry's eyes widened.
"You are not…"
"I am. Ava…""Avada Kedavra"
A jet of green light flashed through. Harry opened his eyes soon enough to see the look of shock on his best friend's face as he clutched his chest and collapsed.
"Ron!" Harry screamed. He turned back momentarily to see Hermione standing behind him. She was pale and she stood still, her wand still raised towards where Ron had been standing a moment ago.
Harry walked towards her and shook her gently. She remained silent for a moment before falling down on the floor.
"I killed him," she screamed pointing towards Ron's dead body. "Oh god Harry! I killed him."
The chill was gone. But the emptiness remained. Hermione slowly opened her eyes. The dementor had taken back his position but he had left her with memories. Memories of the dreaded night that had her locked in Azkaban. Memories that had taken away every ounce of strength and happiness from her body. Memories that told her what the reality was. She let out a muffled sob. Yes, the reality… which said that she, Hermione granger, had killed Ron Weasley.
Yeah I am waiting. Go on kill me, curse me. Arrrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhh. Sorry to all the Ron lovers. But I promise you I adore Ron Weasley too. So I won't disappoint all of you. There are huge secrets to be revealed. So probably Ron is not... Ha Ha! Wait and see. Oh yeah and don't worry this was not a dream which hermione had. It did happen and Hermione IS in Azkaban.
