Author's Note:

In the last chapter, before Hermione said, "He betrayed them," Voldemort sent her a picture of Number 12 Grimmald Place.

Answers to Reviews:

Thank you for reviewing,

charmed sisters: The reason Voldemort sent Hermione the image of Harry, was to show her what will happen to Harry if she stays friends with him.

Dumbledor: Thanx for reviewing!

Chapter 5: Part 2

"Harry?" Hermione cried out, and fell.

"What's wrong?" Lupin asked her, and put out his arm for her to use, just as she fell.

"He… knows," Hermione told him, as she reached the couch.

"What does Harry know?" Lupin questioned.

"Voldemort knows… about Grimmald Place…"

"He found out? Draco. How did you get here?" Lupin questioned and looked at his former student.

"He's my…" Hermione started, "cousin."

"Oh," Lupin replied. "I thought you were muggleborn. Whatever, how did Voldemort find out?"

"Snape… isn't our spy," Hermione answered, and looked down.

"What do you mean?"

"He's spying on us," Hermione said.

"How do you know?" Lupin questioned.

"Connections," Draco intervened.

"Evacuate the building, and warn…" She looked at Draco, and said, "the leader."

"Yes, yes…" Lupin thought out loud. "Draco, you stay with Hermione. Get her out of here." Quickly Lupin left the room to find the other members in the house.

'Harry?' Hermione mentally reached out. 'Stay at the Dursleys. I'll be there soon to explain to you.'

"Hermione?" Draco asked and waved his hand in front of Hermione's blank face. "We have to go back."

"No," Hermione stubbornly answered.

"Your father's going to attack here soon," Draco's voice pleading her.

"He won't. He knows that I am here, but not what I have said," she answered. She seemed to gain some strength. "Remus? Get out, NOW!" she yelled. "See you later, Draco," she said softly, and she disapparated. (Yes, she illegally disapparated).

The Dursleys:

"Hermione? What are you doing here?" Harry asked her, as he jumped up from the desk, and she started to topple over. Luckily, Harry was quick enough to grab her by the waist.

"Thanks," Hermione told him, their faces about two inches away from each other. He stared at her, taking in her beauty. After about five minutes, Hermione said, "Ummm… Harry? You can let go now," Hermione snapped him back to reality.

"Oh, sorry," Harry said, and guided her to the bed. "Why did you come, I mean, you must have some purpose, in that state."

"What is he feeling, right now?" Hermione asked.

"Who?"

"Voldemort," she impatiently replied.

"He's happy, why?"

"Happy? You're kidding, right?" Harry shook his head. "No, I was right," Hermione started to panic.

"What were you right about?" Harry asked.

"Grimmald Place."

"What about it?"

"He knows where it is," she whispered.

"What!" Harry exclaimed.

"Snape told him."

"We have to warn the Order," Harry made to grab his broom.

"No," Hermione grabbed his arm, and fell off the bed.

"Whoa," Harry said, and grabbed her once again by her waist.

"I already warned them. The Order isn't there. They evacuated, ten minutes ago," Hermione informed him.

"How did you know about him?" Harry asked her, and she looked away from him. He still had her by the waist, so she couldn't go anywhere.

"I… I just knew. Now, I must be going," with that, Hermione disapparated.
