Timeline: Seventh Year (But I didn't say her Seventh Year, Now did I.)

Hermione, Lupin, and Lakora were walking through the hallways. None of them were speaking. Lakora turned to look at Hermione.

"Hermione, even though I am a dark witch, I would never kill you." She said.

"Kora, and I would never kill you either." Hermione said, then she hugged Lakora. They continued walking for a little while longer, until Lakora stopped suddenly. Hermione stopped when she heard Lakora cry out in pain. "Kora, what is the matter?" Hermione asked, worried.

"He is calling. I must go." Lakora said, as she grabbed her arm, tears filling her eyes as she thought of what must be. She ran into an empty classroom and flooed out of Hogwarts to a place unknown to all but the living dead.

"We must tell Dumbledore." Lupin said. Both Hermione and Lupin ran up to the statue. Lupin said the password, Chocolate Frogs, and ran up the stairs with Hermione right behind him. They entered without knocking, and found Dumbledore and McGonagall talking.

"Remus, Hermione, what is it?" The old man asked, seeing the urgency on their faces. Remus noted how old he seemed to have been growing, a week a day it seemed to him.

"Kora, she…. She left… for… deatheater…" Hermione was so out of breathe that she wouldn't have been able to make even that much out, Lupin had just enough breathe. No more words were needed, as all understood.

"I will tell Snape and tell him to get her as soon as possible. Lupin, I want you and Sirius Black to watch over Hermione, if this is the night of the prophecy, she could be in great danger. Minerva, alert all order members and get them on guard at their posts."
