A/N: I will continue this fic despite HBP making this totally AU. We are getting close to completing the spell, and then the mystery part kicks in again.

Title: Beautiful Dementors

Hermione's eyes flew open feeling Snape's painful grasp, his red eyes flashing. She watched in horror as the entity transformed into such a frightening, grotesque being that a dementor would have been beautiful in comparison. Hermione's heart withered wishing she could die just to escape the feeling of a thousand icy daggers ripping her flesh.

It seemed like an eternity before the creature began rapidly transforming between the demon and the angel, becoming once again the opaque metallic illumination that dissipated into the smoke and the silence, only to rise slowly from the floor through Crookshanks to hover between them.
