Ok it's a new chapter! Yeah not many people seem to read this story & hardly anyone reviews but I enjoy writing it so I'll finish it. The summary must suck real bad or something. Anyways R&R.
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: Harry Potter never has been and never will be mine.
Chapter 9Everyone was rushing down to the Great Hall for dinner the next night. Harry waited for Hermione by the doors for a few minutes before going in. He saved a seat for her next to him but she didn't show. Neville sat across from Harry and smiled.
"Hey Harry. Where's Hermione?" Neville asked, reaching across to get some chicken.
"I have no idea," Harry replied through a mouthful of potatoes. "I waited for her outside the Great Hall but she didn't show up." He paused. "Now that I think about it, I haven't seen her since breakfast yesterday."
"I saw her outside during break," Neville said. "She was talking to herself and she looked really upset about something. When I asked what was wrong she wouldn't tell me."
"Well hopefully she'll come out for dinner," Harry said, his eyes on the door.
Why would she come to dinner? She has no consideration for you. She hates you because of what you did to her friends. Don't bother talking to her anymore. Just kill her and be done with it.
Why don't you just leave me alone? Go bother someone else. I'll never believe anything you say to me.
Who says I'm not bothering anyone else? I don't have to talk only to you. That's the problem with you. You think too highly of yourself. You think that the world revolves around you. But it doesn't. If you knew what was going on right now, you'd listen to me.
"Hey Harry, can I ask you something?" Neville asked.
"Yeah sure," Harry replied, keeping one eye on the door in case Hermione walked in.
"Are you and Luna…together or something?" Neville asked.
"What would make you ask something like that?" Harry asked in return.
"Because…well…I saw you guys walking together before and sometimes you guys talk to each other. And I was talking to her earlier and when I mentioned you she wanted to change the subject," Neville explained.
"Well I don't know why she would do that but the answer is no," Harry replied.
"Well, do you want to go out with her?" Neville asked curiously.
"I don't know," Harry replied. "I never really thought about it. Now it's my turn to ask you something."
"Ok," Neville said.
"Do you like Hermione?" Harry asked, watching him closely.
"Why do you want to know?" Neville asked in return.
"Because I'm curious," Harry replied simply.
"Yes…" Neville said quietly, his face reddening. He drank from his goblet to try to hide his face.
Before Harry could say anything else, Hermione walked into the Great Hall and sat in the seat Harry had saved for her.
"Hey Hermione. Where have you been?" Harry asked.
"Nowhere. Can you pass the roast please?" Hermione asked. Neville handed it to her, his face redder than Ron's hair. "Thanks."
"No problem," Neville mumbled.
"Well, you must've been somewhere if you came late to dinner," Harry said.
"I was just in the library studying," Hermione replied. "Not that it matters or anything," she added.
"If you were in the library then why didn't you show up for dinner when everyone else did?" Harry asked. "I'm sure you would've noticed if everyone had left the library all at once."
"Look, just drop it Harry," Hermione said. She looked at Neville's red face. "What's wrong with you? Your face is all red. Did you eat something you were allergic to or something?" Neville shook his head. "Then what's wrong?" He shrugged. "Ok then. So Harry," she said, turning to him. "I need to ask you something. What are you going to do about Luna?"
"What are you talking about?" Harry asked.
"Don't play dumb with me," Hermione said. "I think she likes you. I'm sure you've noticed already. So what are you going to do?"
"I don't know," Harry replied. "I didn't even notice that she liked me."
Before Hermione could reply, Dumbledore stood up and the entire hall fell silent.
"I have a few announcements to make before you all return to your dormitories. As I'm sure you all know, Ginny Weasley went missing a few weeks ago while visiting Hogsmeade. We searched everywhere for her but found nothing. Well I have been recently informed that two more students have gone missing. Those two students are Ronald Weasley and Lavender Brown. Since no one has been into Hogsmeade since Miss Weasley's disappearance, it is unknown how or why Mr. Weasley and Miss Brown are missing. If anyone has any information regarding the disappearances, don't hesitate to contact any of the staff," Dumbledore explained. "Now, we shall be questioning the students throughout the week so I ask that you be patient with us. No student is being accused for their disappearances unless proven guilty otherwise."
As soon as he sat back down, the students instantly began discussing the newest disappearances. Most students looked very concerned. The Slytherins, however, looked as if Christmas had come early.
"I knew that someone would come along and rid the school of those Weasleys," Draco Malfoy said loudly to Crabbe and Goyle. "Maybe the mudbloods will be next." Crabbe and Goyle snickered.
"Just ignore him," Hermione whispered to Harry. "He's just trying to get to you." She paused for a minute. "Do you think we should tell them what happened?"
"No," Harry said. "They won't understand. You know that. We've already had this conversation. We can't risk it."
"But if we get caught, the punishment will be more severe than if we just tell the truth," Hermione replied.
"I agree with Hermione," Neville said quietly. "Maybe if we try to explain they won't be so hard on us."
"They won't listen. They'll just chuck us in Azkaban and let the dementors suck out our souls!" Harry exclaimed. "We're not going to tell."
"Harry, we might have to," Hermione said. "What if they pin the blame on someone else? Would you be able to go on happy if you knew that someone else was getting in trouble for something you did?"
"But they won't blame someone else," Harry said. "They won't find anything! They didn't find anything for Ginny and they didn't blame anyone. They just thought the Death Eaters got her. Maybe they'll think the same thing happened to Ron and Lavender."
"But if they don't? We have to do something," Hermione said. "I won't be able to live with this secret."
"If you tell, we'll all get in trouble. You'll be expelled from Hogwarts. Do you really want that?" Harry asked.
"No. But I don't want anyone to get in trouble for what we did," Hermione replied.
"I have to go," Harry said angrily. "Don't tell."
I can't believe she wants to tell. How could she even consider it? She might not be sent to Azkaban but I will be. I'm the one that did it. I'll be the guilty one and I'll suffer the consequences. How could she consider throwing her best friend to the dementors to save someone else's ass?
I warned you that this might happen. But you didn't listen to me. Like every other child, you're ignorant. You think you know everything. Well now she's going to rat you out.
"Harry! Wait up!" Luna called out to him. He stopped. "What's wrong?"
He told her all about his conversation with Hermione and Neville.
"I can't believe she wants to tell!" Luna exclaimed angrily. "How could she even think about it? Doesn't she care what will happen to you?"
"I doubt it," Harry replied. "She thinks that by telling the truth I won't get in any trouble."
"Who is she kidding? The truth would get you in more trouble! If they found out that you were practicing the Unforgivable curses, which are illegal, they'd throw you in Azkaban whether you had killed them or not!" Luna said.
"I know. But I don't think she cares. You won't tell, right?" Harry asked uneasily.
"Of course I won't tell," Luna replied. "Why would I? Not only would you get in serious trouble, but everyone else in the room would get in trouble too. We were all witnesses to it. And maybe Hermione forgot but she's the one who brought Lavender along and she helped hide the bodies. And I'll make sure everyone knows that if she tells. If we're going down then she's going down with us." She sighed. "But I hope she doesn't tell anyway. I don't want you to be arrested."
She's lying. Why would she care about you?
Oh shut up.
"Luna?"
"Hm?"
"Uh, do you maybe wanna hang out tomorrow? Like, outside, just the two of us?"
"Are you asking me out?"
"Maybe. Well, only if you say yes."
"Then the answer is yes."
"Ok then well…I guess I'll see you tomorrow then. How does noon sound?"
"Noon sounds great. Bye."
He walked back to the common room feeling pleased with himself. He had no idea what came over him. But he didn't really mind at all.
You'll regret that soon. You should've just killed her.
Go bother someone else.
Late in the night, Harry was having an unsettling dream. He dreamt that Ron and Ginny had floated up from the bottom of the lake and carried him to Azkaban. Then the dementors swooped down and sucked out his soul and threw his body into the lake while Ron and Ginny laughed at him.
He woke up in a cold sweat. Then he heard someone whispering to him. He looked around but saw nothing. Almost as if invisible hands were guiding him, he got out of bed, grabbed his wand, and walked over to the other side of the room. Seamus, Dean, and Neville were all sleeping soundly. An odd feeling arose in his stomach. Almost as if he was being controlled, he raised his wand up.
"Avada Kedavra!"
A jet of green light erupted from the tip of his wand and hit Seamus squarely in the chest. Dean and Neville slept on, unaware of what had just happened. Harry, excited about what he had just done, went into his Potions supplies and grabbed his knife used for cutting. He walked back over and plunged it into Dean's chest, blood gushing everywhere. He cleaned it off on Seamus' pajama pants, placed it back where it belonged, and went back to sleep.
