Summary: Hermione is told she is really a pureblood witch. Her and Harry get a few surprised though out their firth year, and how powerful they both really are. (I have changed the summary, as I have been writing the story I thought it would be better for Ron to still talk to Harry and Hermione, but that doesn't mean it will always stay like that!!)
Chapter Rating: 12A
Chapter 9
Harry and Hermione sat down at the Gryffindor table waiting for lunch, and the other students to arrive. They had a free period before when their fellow students in their year had divination. They heard what sounded like a stampede of animals coming down the halls. They knew their friends had finished their classes, and that the great hall's silence would soon be broken.
Lavender sat down next to Hermione, she first glanced at her then to Harry she kept moving her head between the two of them until Harry started became a little dazed. Watching her movements was putting him into a hypnotic trance.
"Lavender, what are you staring at?" He demanded after he shook himself out of the trance.
"Just wandering why you weren't in class, I knew Hermione had a free period, and last time I checked you still took divination, so we knew you were together. But skipping class Harry it's unacceptable behaviour for a prefect."
"So what you're saying is? You were looking at me and Harry like that just to tell him off for skipping class?"
"Well yeah, I was also waiting to see who would tell me first what you were doing, but I can tell I won't know!" Lavender pouted, while Harry and Hermione nodded their heads in agreement. Lavender looked quickly back to Hermione once the penny had dropped on what Hermione had just said.
"Hermione?!" Lavender partly shouted, quite shocked at Hermione.
"What?!" Hermione asked in a clueless voice and expression, but she knew why Lavender was shocked. She felt like laughing as it had taken Lavender some time to realise what she had said.
"Don't look so clueless, I know you know what I am on about. Anyway, did I just hear you confirming Harry had skipped class? And had embraced him to?" she asked, the others students around Lavender who had heard what she said stopped getting mid bite and all looked on Hermione for her answer. As they would never believe Goody Two Shoes Granger doing something like that, unless it actually came from the horses mouth.
"You did…" Hermione was interrupted by the sudden gasps and 'I can't believe it's'. Angry that she wasn't able to finish her sentence Hermione abruptly stood up and raised her voice.
"If you are all quite finished, I would explain myself!" Harry by now was quite beside himself trying to keep in his laughter.
Hermione glared at him, as he wasn't helping the situation by laughing. Harry stopped laughing and looked at her with puppy dog eyes.
"Come on Hermione, you have to admit it is funny!" He whined.
"Yes, but it doesn't help when you're laughing like a hyena." Hermione tried to say sternly, but couldn't keep the smile off her features.
"As I was saying, I would never confirm and embrace Harry to skip class, and before you even interrupt Lavender!" She said while pointing one of her figures at Lavender's opening mouth. "I only said that before, because that's what you thought Harry was doing. When I know for a fact Harry also had a free period the same time I had one!" Hermione finished speaking.
Most people went back to their lunches, except (Yes, you've guess it!) Lavender.
"You've dropped Divination?" Lavender asked Harry, shocked that anyone would drop out of what she classed as her favourite and the most easiest lesson at Hogwarts.
"I don't remember Hermione saying I dropped the class, I just don't have it the same time as the rest of the year. Me and Hermione will be getting private lessons on Saturdays on Advance techniques in Divination." Harry said, Lavender looked at Hermione in surprise at what Harry said about how Hermione would be doing Divination again.
"Your taking Divination? But you can't stand Professor Trelawney!" Lavender question and stated.
"Whoever said we have Trelawney, we're having a private tutor brought in. Anyway do you think if I had the choice I would take Divination again?"
"Not really!"
"There you go, theirs your answer."
While Hermione and Lavender were having there little decision Harry had turned back towards his lunch. Harry suddenly heard faint voices, as he could not make out what was being said, and sounded close to him, he gathered it was people whispering like they always do. A few sounds later he knew the voices he heard weren't anybody in the hall. The voices were screaming.
"Mummy, who are they?" A child of five asked loudly.
"I don't know" A voice answered.
Harry headshot up, this caught the attention of Dumbledore Hermione, and lavender. Concerned, Dumbledore started to walk towards Harry at the far end of Gryffindor table. Hermione on the other hand questioned him.
"Harry, are you okay?" Hermione was unanswered, as Harry no longer heard anyone who was at Hogwarts, all he could hear and see were the mother and child, so he couldn't even react to the people waving their arms in front of his face.

'Bang, Bang' someone was banging on the door within the house where Miranda Harris and her son Jeremy lived. Distantly screams of horror were heard, and then all the sudden stop. Miranda knew she had lost a few goof friends today. She also had a feeling she wouldn't see the sunset today.
The banging at her door stopped and she let out a breath of relief, believing at they has left them alone. Hoping that whoever these people were thought the house was empty at this moment to time. Soon she would find out how wrong she was.

"Harry, can you hear me?" Professor Dumbledore asked once he was beside his student. Lavender was tiredly trying to calm down a hysteric Hermione, whom by now was so worried for Harry was crying and nothing could stop her.
Dumbledore looked to Hermione then back to Harry, want ever was happening to Harry was greatly affecting Hermione's health.
Andrew who walked into the great hall with a bemused look as for last half an hour, he had been looking for Hannah. She hadn't met him then she should have and he got worried. He noticed a gathering crowd around the Gryffindor table, he heard crying as well. A second later it stuck him that it was Hermione crying, he ran towards the crowd, pushed his way through immediately to Hermione relieving Lavender from the burden of his baby sister. He hadn't even noticed that Harry was in a trance and that was the reason why Hermione was in this state.
"Baby girl, come on stop crying!"
"Ha..rr..y!" She said through her tears.
"What?!"
"Andrew, Mr Potter went into a kind of trance little over 10 minutes ago. No one can get through to him, not even me." Dumbledore spoke from behind them, Andrew looked over his shoulder to meet Dumbledore eyes, but they landed on Harry instead.
Andrew felt immense pain flow through his body when his eyes meet Hatty, he cried in pain, this caused Hermione to also scream and hold into Andrew tighter. The pain subsided and he slowly pushed his body further down the table, taking Hermione with him, to get as far as away from Harry as possible.
Not because he was scared of Harry, but of whatever Harry was watching involved the blackest of dark arts, and that energy at this moment was flowing through Harry untenably. But this kind of Magic always gave Hannah and Andrew great pain then they weren't in their original forms, and drain some of the remaining power that wasn't inhibited. He couldn't move that far away because of the crowd that surrounded them.
"His admitting dark energy!" Andrew spoke quietly, Hermione head stood up and she angry.
"Harry is not a dark wizard!" She shouted, while getting out of her brothers arms, and also shocking the Great Hall into silence.
"I didn't say he was Hermione, people can admit dark energy without realising, in Harry's case I would say whatever he can see, it's something dark!"
"Oh!" Hermione said, calming down quickly.

'Crash' the door to the house burst open and Harry watched as Voldemort walked though the threshold, he tried to tell the woman and child to stop screaming and to ran, but realised he couldn't speak or move. He felt quite helpless now that he couldn't help the woman and child.
He watched in horror as Voldemort put the Cruciatus curse on the mother. The minute the curse hit the woman, his scar shot with pain the worst he had ever felt. (Harry screamed in pain at Hogwarts as well, but he had been moved to the hospital wing by then.)
The back door to the house flew open and a figure walked through, Harry couldn't tell what the person looked like as they had a large clock around them, with the hood up.
"I would withdraw, if I was you Voldemort and leave the area." The person said, and by the voice you could tell it was a female, and that she loathed Voldemort.
Voldemort released the mother from the curse, Harry could now breath easier, and Voldemort turned his wand towards the brave witch now standing in the room.
"Do you really expect me to do as you wish? Do you really expect to frighten me?" Voldemort spoke cruelly.
"Well yes to the first question, and probably not to the second!" The female answered, while talking her hood down, Voldemort started to smirk.
"Potter!"
("What?" Harry's voice echoed the hospital wing.)
"Leave now!" the female sternly said.
"Not before I kill the final Muggle who happens to be the small boy hiding behind you!"
"You will not touch him!"
"Do you expect me to listen, Guin?"
"Don't you ever use my name!"
"Why not? Does it make your name fowl now that I have used it." Guin stayed silent, not willing to answer.
"Oh well, I'm now getting bored. Let's just get this done. Now you will feel something worst then the Cruciatus curse could ever do." Voldemort uttered the curse under his breath and Guin turn to the boy, said a spell Harry didn't catch that caused him to disappear.
The curse that Voldemort sent towards her hit her full force, it enveloped her completely with a black light. She screamed and Harry doubled over in pain. Her defensive energy field that appears when she can't get the strength to fight with a wand kick in and tried to fight the black light. All Harry saw was white and dark light battling each other before everything went black.

Aurors from the ministry of magic walked around the ruins and the dead of the muggles that lived in Black Downs. A few of the newer recruits had already dismissed themselves, aswhat they saw made their stomachs turn.
Black Downs was a small village in Hampshire and by the look of thingd and the amount of Dark Marks in the sky the whole village was wiped out.
"Scout the area, check for survivors!" The head Auror order.
"Do you really expect to find any survivors, sir?"
"No, Walters I don't. But we have to check just in case. Looks like that Mr Potter was right all along about saying, 'you-know-who' was back. But did anyone listen, no! Now look what we have to deal with, this could have been prevented."
"Sir?" An Auror who run out of the house shouted.
"Yes, Summers?"
"We found a live one!" With the statement closed the head Auror rushed to the house Summers was standing by.
"Where Summers?"
"In the first room to the left!"
The head Auror left Summers at the front door and approached the room. There he saw a woman semi-conscious sitting up from help from some of his officers."
"My son… She made my son disappear!" this caught the head Auror by surprise 'A she not Voldemort' he thought.
"Was this woman responsible for what happen there?" He kindly asked.
"No! She came to help. It was a man with a monstrous face that was responsible for what happen here."
"Tell me about this woman?"
"I thought she was one of them, as she was dressed in robes just like him and you gentlemen. But she demanded the person who tortured me to leave us alone; he let me go and turned on her. When she took her hood he smirked in joy. They passed a few angry words then sent a curse towards her, but before it hit her she utter a spell that caused me son to disappear. A Black light surrounded her then a white light shot out of her body, eventually the white light won, and she disappeared after that but whatever the black light did to her it weaken her. I believed she would be unconscious by now. The man screamed in frustration and left forgetting I was here."
"Did she say who she was?"
"No she didn't, but he did… He called her Guin… Guin Potter." The head Auror stood up and turned to his confused officers, all the were thinking was 'there was another Potter out there somewhere.'
"Well haven't heard that name in a long time!"

"Is he okay?" Hermione question Madam Pomfrey.
"He will be Miss Hamilton, his just sleeping for now"
