Oo It's been almost a month since I last updated. My bad. R&R please!

Summary: Harry has never been able to perform the Unforgivable curses before. What happens when an accident causes Harry to be able to perform them? What happens when he starts hearing a voice in his head telling him to do things? What will he do next?

Disclaimer: Do I look like J. K. Rowling to you? Didn't think so. So Harry Potter isn't mine.

Chapter 7

"Luna!" Luna turned to see Hermione running down the hall towards her.

"What?" Luna asked, stopping. She waited patiently for Hermione to catch her breath.

"I have to ask you something," Hermione said. "But you have to swear that you'll be honest with me."

"Ok. I will."

"Are you going out with Harry?"

"Does it matter if I am or not?"

"Of course it matters!" Hermione exclaimed. "He's my best friend and I think I deserve to know!"

"Well if you were such good friends with him then he would tell you," Luna replied.

"Just answer the question!" Hermione half-shouted.

"No," Luna said simply. "We're just friends."

"Then why the hell were ya'll walking arm-in-arm together around the lake earlier?" Hermione asked.

"Because he was going to walk and asked me to join him. All we did was talk about what happened," Luna replied. "No big deal."

"Ok. It just looked like something else from where I was sitting," Hermione said.

"So what about you? Are you going out with Neville?" Luna asked suddenly.

"Why would you ask something so ridiculous?" Hermione asked in return.

"Because the two of you were walking up to the castle together. And you sat with him at lunch instead of Harry," Luna replied.

"No I'm not," Hermione said. "I'm guessing you only asked me that because I thought you and Harry were together."

"Of course," Luna said. "It doesn't matter to me who you go out with. I won't really care."

"Do you like Harry?" Hermione asked. "As more than a friend?"

"I don't know," Luna answered. "I never actually thought about it. I'm not too good with feelings like that." She paused for a minute. "Do you like Neville as more than a friend?"

"No," Hermione said. "I've always only felt friendly feelings for him."

"Why are you asking me all these questions?" Luna asked.

"Because I'm curious," Hermione replied.

That's not true. You want to know so that way you can think of a reason to be rid of her. You really don't like her at all. She's always bothering you and gets in the way of your friendship with Harry. And she knows about Ron and Lavender. Hell, she probably knows about Ginny. You don't need her around. You should just kill her.

Hermione shook her head, hoping the voice would go away.

"What's wrong?" Luna asked curiously.

"Nothing," Hermione said. "I gotta go."

"Who the hell are you and why are you bothering me?"

I'm no one. I'm just the voice in your head telling you exactly how you truly feel. You can't deny it. Everything I've said to you is what you really feel.

"That's not true! I wish you would just leave me alone! Go bother someone else!"

How do you know that I'm not bothering someone else as we speak? Are you assuming that I am only able to talk to you? I've spoken to your friends before. Oh yes, many times.

"It was you then! You're the reason why Ron tried to kill Harry! You're the reason why Harry attacked Ron! It's all your fault they're all dead! You're probably the reason why Ginny died too!"

Well, you'll never know now, will you? Ron died and Harry won't ever tell anyone if he's hearing voices in his head.

"Just shut up and leave us all alone!"

"Hermione, who are you talking to?" Neville asked.

"What?"

"I heard you talking to someone. Who was it?"

I must've been talking out loud without realizing it.

"Oh no one. I was just talking to myself."

"Oh," Neville said. "It sounded like you were arguing with someone."

"Oh, no I wasn't," Hermione replied.

Why are you lying to him? Are you afraid that he'll find out you're going crazy? Or are you trying to protect your knowledge of Ginny's demise?

"Just shut up! Damn it!"

"What did I say?" Neville asked, bewildered.

"Oh nothing," Hermione said. "I thought I heard something."

"Oh ok," Neville said. "Uh, I think I'm gonna go now. See ya."

He knows now. He heard what you said and he figured out that Ginny is dead. Look what you've done now. He'll tell someone. You know he will. He must die now.

"Please just leave me alone!"

She ran off to her dormitory to escape from the voice. She didn't know what was going on but she didn't like it at all.

Harry had seen Hermione run past him. He went to find Neville. After a few minutes of searching, he saw him outside and ran up to him.

"Hey Neville," Harry said. "Do you know what's wrong with Hermione? She just ran past to her dormitory a few minutes ago. And she was acting weird when I saw her during break. She was talking to herself and started to look really upset. I saw ya'll talking during lunch and a few minutes ago so I just thought you might know what's wrong with her."

"No sorry," Neville said. "I have no idea what's wrong with her. I asked but she said nothing. I thought you would know though. You're her best friend."

"Well not lately," Harry replied. "She's been avoiding me like crazy since Ron's death. She'll never say it but I know she blames me. I told her it was a self-defense but she didn't care!"

"Did you really expect her to?" Neville asked. "He was her best friend. But I talked to her and she said she wasn't nearly as upset as she thought she would be. Maybe she does understand what's going on."

"Did she tell you if she blamed me?" Harry asked curiously.

"No," Neville replied. "She didn't mention you at all. She just said she was worried about herself because Ron's death didn't affect her like she thought. It didn't really affect me that bad either. I don't know why."

"Because you know that Ron did something horrible before," Harry said. "He is the reason Lavender died. And then he attacked me. I had no choice but to counter his attack. If I hadn't then I might not have survived. He could've killed me."

"I don't think you really believe that," Neville said. "After all, I think You-Know-Who is the only person that could kill you. Ron isn't strong enough."

"I wasn't thinking about that when I attacked. I was only thinking about how my best friend was trying to kill me and how I had to do something before it was too late," Harry explained.

"Well that makes sense," Neville said. "Maybe we've all been too hard on you."

"Yeah I think so," Harry replied.

Or do you? Maybe you think that you deserve it. After all, you really did kill Ron. You don't really believe it was a self-defense. You wanted him to die so you killed him. Don't lie to yourself and your friends by saying it was an accident.

It was and I know it. I won't let you trick me into thinking I wanted him to die.

But you did. I'm not just a random voice in your head. I'm a voice that's telling you exactly how you really feel. You lie to yourself all the time. I'm just here to tell you the truth. You can't get rid of me. I'm a part of you. I'm a part of you that will never go away. The sooner you accept that, the sooner you'll be able to understand.

"I gotta go," Harry said.

"Ok bye."

You're not telling me how I truly feel. I won' t believe that ever. Damn it, you're just some annoying voice there to piss me off. I'll never believe what you say!

Oh but you already have. Trust me, you already have. And you will again very soon.
