Time for another update! Sorry it's been a while but I've been really busy lately. Sadly, school is almost out which sucks. But that means that I'll have more time to update though. 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?

Chapter 8"Hermione are you ok? You look exhausted," Harry said as he sat next to her at breakfast in the Great Hall the next day.
"I'm fine," Hermione lied. "I just had a little trouble sleeping last night."
"Could you tell me why?" he asked.
"No," she said. "But it's not important anyway."
"It must be if it's keeping you from getting proper sleep," he replied.
"Look, it's nothing. I don't really wanna talk about it so just don't ask about it anymore," she said, apparently very aggravated.
"But Hermione…" he began, but she cut him off.
"I've gotta go to class now. Maybe I'll see you during break," she replied, jumping up and hurrying out of the hall.
Now why did you go and do that? You lied to your best friend. He was only showing concern for you. Or was he? He might just be pretending to be concerned. You know he wants to kill you. Just like he killed Ron and Ginny. And you deserve it too. You deserve to die.
"Shut up!" Hermione screamed. "I don't deserve it! You're just trying to play games with my head! It won't work!"
Oh but you do deserve death. Everyone does. You're all going against what is meant to be, and for that, you deserve to die. Don't fight it. Accept it. Ron did. You know, Ron was hearing voices in his head too. Right before he died, the voice told him what was meant to be. And he listened instead of trying to fight it. You should do the same.
"Are you saying that you tricked Ron too?" Hermione asked loudly. "You need to stop it! You're trying to make me crazy! It's not going to work!"
I'm not trying to make you crazy. I'm telling you what you deserve to know. You know that deep down you've been haunted by Ginny, Ron, and Lavender's deaths. You feel responsible for them. It's eating you up inside. I'm just trying to make it all easier for you. Accept your fate, Hermione. Give in to the hands of death.
"I won't do it!" Hermione shouted.
"You won't do what, Hermione?" Luna asked.
"What are you talking about?" Hermione asked.
"You just shouted that you won't do it," Luna replied.
"I was?" Hermione asked. Luna nodded. "Well, I have no idea why I would shout something like that. I guess I'm just overworked and it's just causing me to shout random things."
"Ok well hope you get that fixed," Luna said. "I'll be seeing you later."
Aw why didn't you kill her? It's what she needs. She's just an oddball with no purpose on the planet except to fall victim to someone. She's useless and you know it. She's trying to take your best friend away from you. You must destroy her in order to keep things the way they are now.
"Why should I destroy her if she's never done a damn thing to me?" Hermione asked angrily. "She's not useless, she's a good friend! And she's not trying to take Harry from me! She has no interest in him at all! You're just trying to get me to kill her for you!"
Now why would I do that? You know that deep down I'm right. You just can't admit it to yourself. She needs to die. And she wants Harry all for herself. You saw them together down by the lake. She was all over him. You need to accept the fact that you have to kill her. The sooner you get over it, the sooner you will be able to do it.
"And what if I refuse?" Hermione asked coldly.
Then you will die. I'm not threatening you, but it's fate. You will die if you don't kill her. She views you as a threat. If you don't kill her, she will eliminate you to get Harry all to herself. In her eyes, you're the biggest obstacle in her quest to get him.
"Why in the hell would she view me as a threat? I've never done a damn thing that would suggest that I want Harry!" Hermione yelled. "And even if I did, she's already told me that she doesn't want him! Luna wouldn't kill me just to get Harry! She's not like that at all!"
Or is she? If you think about it, you don't know her that well. In fact, last year you tried as hard as you could to not talk to her. So if you try not to talk to her, how can you say you know her? It's all very simple if you think about it. She will do whatever she has to in order to get what she wants. You have to decide if you want to defend yourself or not.
"Just shut up and leave me alone!" Hermione exclaimed, tears in her eyes. She ran off and locked herself in the girls' bathroom, praying the voice would stop.
"Harry!" Luna shouted, running up to him when he stopped on his way to Herbology.
"What Luna?" Harry asked.
"What's wrong with Hermione?" she asked. "I saw her earlier and she was talking to herself or something. Shouting, really. I asked what was wrong and she said she had no idea she was even talking to herself."
"I have no idea what's wrong with her, actually," he replied. "I asked her about it this morning but she refused to talk. Does it seem like she's in some sort of trouble?"
"Maybe. She was yelling about how she won't do something," she explained. "I have no idea what that something is though. When I asked she didn't say."
"Well, someone might be trying to get her to do something," he said thoughtfully. "Or maybe trying to get her to find someone. Did you hear anything else?"
"No. But I wish I had. I'm dying to know what's up with her. Neville said she was acting totally weird yesterday. We figured that you guys had fallen out or something," she replied.
"Oh no nothing like that," he said. "But I do wish she would talk to me. I'm not her best friend for nothing." He looked at his watch. "I better get going before I'm late."
"Ok. I'll see you later then," she said.
"Ok. Oh, and if you see Hermione, tell her that I need to talk to her as soon as possible," he said. "It's urgent."
"Ok I will. Bye."
Doesn't it bother you? Hermione is keeping things from you. What kind of best friend has secrets and won't tell the people she trusts most? And why is Luna coming to you about it? It all seems rather fishy, don't you think?
Not at all. She knows me and Hermione are best friends and she figured I might know something about it. And Hermione can keep secrets from me if that's what she wants. I can't force her to tell me everything. It wouldn't be right.
But what if it's about the deaths of your friends? She might have told someone that she shouldn't have told. If that's the case then what will you do?
I don't know. I'll have to cross that bridge if I come to it. I don't think she would actually go and tell someone. It's not like her to tell a secret if it means she's endangering herself too. I trust Hermione and nothing you say is going to change that.
But what if she told Neville? They've been getting rather close these past few days. She might tell him and he could go and rat you out.
I doubt that will happen. Neville isn't the type of person to do that to a friend. And there's nothing going on between Hermione and Neville. If there was, she'd tell me about it. She wouldn't tell him about it all anyway. I trust her completely.
Oh you'll be sorry you're doing that. Some day soon, you'll be very sorry. And it will be too late to fix things.
End Chapter 8
Review please! Ok I know the voice repeats itself a lot but that's actually the point. They're hearing the same things over and over again and it's making them crazy. Hope you liked it! Well don't forget to review! Chapter 9 coming soon!
