DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN HARRY POTTER (EVEN THOUGH I WISH I DID) OR ANY OF THE OTHER CHARACTERS IN THIS STORY.
"Harry! Wait for me!" called Hermione, desperate to catch up. "Harry!"
"What do you want now, Gin—oh hello Hermione! Sorry, its just Ginny's been following me EVERYWHERE since we broke up," Harry said. "I guess she wants to make up for the breakup fight."
"You broke up with my sister?" Ron ran up and butted into the conversation. "Why?"
"Ron!" Hermione and Harry shouted at once. "None of your business," Hermione said with an icy tone.
"Well, fine then. I'll leave."
"Good."
"Hermione, you'll understand why I broke up with Ginny, right?" Harry inquired, looking slightly embarrassed.
"Sure, Harry. You have a good reason for everything," Hermione reassured soothingly.
"Well, it's just that… RUN HERMIONE!" Harry was cut off by the sound of an Apparition inside school grounds.
"How'd he do that? You can't Apparate on school grounds!" Hermione shouted over the noise of thunderclouds rolling in.
"But Dumbledore cast the spell, and now it's been lifted with his death!"
"Oh, Harry, I miss Professor Dumbledore so much!"
"I know, Hermione, I miss him too."
Hermione began to slip on the grass, but Harry stood strong.
"Hermione!" he shouted. "Fight it! You can defeat it!"
"HARRY!"
Harry jumped to grab Hermione's hand, but missed and put her in a full hug. As he looked up, he saw Hermione's face lit with happiness and joy, but something dangerous and deadly was behind her.
Snape.
"Hermione! Look out!" Harry shouted as he saw Snape raise his wand and begin to call out an incantation. He raised his wand to the sky and shot the Dark Mark high into the air. He lowered his wand and aimed it straight for Hermione's head.
"No!" Harry screamed as he jumped in the way of the Killing Curse's path towards Hermione.
