Harry and Voldemort were standing in the center of a group of death-eaters.
"Now Harry that we are alone, why don't we finish what I started 16 years ago." Voldemort said. Then with a smile that twisted his already ugly face he scream "Cruccio"
Harry fell on the ground convulsing. Never screaming, never giving Voldemort the satisfaction.
Finally the curse was lifted and Harry stood. His entire body was aching, but it never showed.
Harry shouted "Expelliarmus", just as Voldemort screamed "Avada Kedvera"
And again there was Prior Incantantem. Harry hung on as long as he could, then the ghost of Ron shot out of Voldermorts wand.
"Harry" he said, " You can do this just let go and shout the killing curse, you were destined for this. Avenge my death."
Harry did just that, he let go and was about to shout the curse that Voldemort had used on Ron, but he was to slow.
"Avada Kedvra"
With that Harry drop to the ground. The light had lost. The world was cast forever in darkness.
NORMAL POINT OF VIEW
"No! Harry!" Hermione screamed. She couldn't believe it. They had lost. How could they have lost. Harry was gone.
She looked out of the window and saw that it was raining. Not even realizing she didn't know where she was, she got up and ran outside to cry in the rain. She had no one. She had lost everything.
The boys ran into the living room when they heard the screaming. Then ran outside after the girl.
Remus walked up to her and held her as she cried. Hermione didn't even notice. She was saying over and over "I've lost everything. I've lost everything"
When her sobbing slowed, she looked at who was holding her and jumped away and stared frightenly at them.
"Who aare you?" she stuttered.
"We were wondering the same thing" one boy said arrogantly.
The one with sandy hair glared at the boy who had spoken and whacked him across the head, then turned to Hermione.
"Hello, I'm Remus Lupin, this arrogant loser is Sirius Black, and the other idiot is James Potter."
"Hey,I am not an idiot" James stated in mock anger.
All the sudden there was a stabbing pain in her arm. She looked down and saw that there was a long from her wrist to her forearm with blood falling from it. Damn she thought.
"Can I go inside to clean this up, please?" she asked showing them her arm.
"Holy krap!" James said staring at her arm in amazement.
"Only if you let me help me help you." Sirius said flirtatiously.
Hermione only glared at him and looked to Remus. Her eyes he noticed were full of pain, anger, and hate.
"Sure, come on" James stated.
He brought her back into the living room where she had left her wand. Stupid of me, she thought. She picked up her wand dried herself off and said a healing charm she had learned for the war. The boys stared at her in amazement. No one they had ever met could perform that charm properly, and now a girl of no more then 16 just performed it correctly.
"Not going to be needing it now am I" not realizing she said it out loud.
"Not going to be needing what?" Sirius asked rather forcefully. Still a little sore at being rejected from the girl.
"Nothing" she stated just as forcefully
Seeing trouble brewing James said quite softly "What's your name love?"
She paused for a minute, not knowing whether or not to use her real name.
"What forgot your name?" Sirius glared at her.
She raised her head slowly and glared with all her might at Sirius. " Okay, now your pissing me off"
"oooo now I'm really scared" he stated mockingly.
Forgetting she had her wand, she walked up to him and just glared. Then with all her might she punched him right across the face and kicked him in the shin really hard.
"Now if you even talk crossly towards me, I swear to God, I will hurt you more then I just did." Then she looked to James and said " My name is Hermione, Hermione Granger."
They all stared at her in amazement. Well okay, not all of them. Sirius was sitting on the floor, royally pissed. No one had ever had the guts to hit and kick the Sirius Black
"I'm sorry but I must leave. I have to talk to Professor Dumbledor and I really want to go home." she said and turned to leave.
"We already owled Dumbledor and he told us that you are to stay here. I already asked my parents and they said yes." James said.
"DAMN!" she shouted. She wanted to leave she didn't want to be in the house with Harry's father. With the thought of what happened to Harry she broke down crying, to make it worse she remembered Ron and that he had also died.
The boys didn't know what to do. So they let her cry.
Then James's mom, Isabelle, walked in the front door.
"WHAT DID YOU BOYS DO TO HER!" she yelled
"nothing mom" James said cowering slightly under the intensity of his mom's gaze, "She just started crying".
Isabelle went to her and picked her off the floor. "Come now child, lets go up to the guest room."
With that the two women went up the stairs into the room across the hall from James's room.
Mean while downstairs James's dad, Luke, had walked in after Isabelle took Hermione upstairs.
"Well that wasn't the best way to handle the situation."
