Chapter 54: Harry's Big Mistake

Both Hermione and Remus had a wonderful Christmas holiday without any reports of Death Eater attacks or strange things going on. Jane talked about the stuff that she planned on sending Hermione once she was back in school and then asked her how her broomstick business was going.

"Well," Hermione said. "I and Remus have our own Manor and it's wonderful."

Jane nodded but her husband had a few choice words of praise.

"That's my girl," he said. "Always good at everything!"

However, the holidays soon ended, much to Hermione's displeasure, and they all had to leave to return to Hogwarts. Hermione promised to write every week and tell them how the babies were doing and even promised to tell Severus and Ginny that they were welcomed to come by and visit. An hour later they arrived at Kings Cross station and Remus helped Hermione onto the train.

They quickly found a compartment and Hermione found herself falling into a comfortable sleep.

"HERMIONE!" Remus yelled at her several hours later.

The train had stopped moving and everything had gone dark.

"W-What's h-happening?" Hermione stuttered.

"Dementors," Remus said. "Their attacking the train."

Hermione jumped to her feet, taking out her wand. Several students started to scream, running past their compartment. A few moments later several Dementors entered their compartment.

"EXPECTO PATRONUM!" Hermione and Remus yelled at the same time.

A silver bull and werewolf came out of the ends of their wands.

"Charge," Hermione yelled.

Her silver werewolf charged after one of the Dementors and it glided away. Remus's silver bull did the same and then they both disappeared around the corner. Hermione and Remus followed them and soon more Patronus came out of different compartments, causing all the Dementors to fly out of the train and were soon gone. The Patronus returned to their owners and disappeared.

"Where did you learn how to cast a Patronus?" Remus asked her.

"Last term," Hermione said. "When Umbridge wouldn't let us learn hexes and counter spell's Harry taught us all that, including the Patronus."

Remus shook his head. He was going to have a talk with Harry about that. However, he couldn't dismiss the good fortune of Hermione knowing how to do that. The train started to move and Remus tore his mind away from what his wife had done to informing Hogwarts that the Dementors had attacked the train.

Professor Dumbledore wasn't pleased when he got the letter from Remus or the fact that now his new wife was acting more like she ruled him then he was over her. She always asked for this or that and only left him alone when she got what she wanted.

"Are you alright, Albus?" Professor McGonagall said.

"I'm fine," Dumbledore said.

And he walked off, leaving his friend to worry.

The rest of the students arrived with Madam Pomfrey checking over everyone and helping to cart away those that had their souls suck out of them. McGonagall counted five students that would never be the same again and cornered Remus about why their weren't anymore then that.

"Hermione and several students helped to drive them off," he reported.

McGonagall looked shocked and then he explained about what Hermione had told him.

"I'm going to have a talk with him," she said. "However, I'm glad that no more students then that got damaged."

"Me too," Remus said. "However, we can't let this continue."

"I agree."

"So did you hear Sally's murderer is dead," Jeff told Alanna.

Alanna nodded.

"Well, we still have the house," he told her. "Want me to proceed with that?"

"Sure," Alanna said. "And then were heading back home."

Alanna grinned at her friend.

"That will be nice."

The next morning Harry noticed something that made him look twice. He at first thought it had been his imagination, but then a student confirmed it. Petunia Dursley was teaching Muggle Studies at Hogwarts and Harry didn't like that one bit.

"Why does she have to be here?" Harry asked.

"Don't look at me," Hermione said. "I think that she's here for a reason."

Harry glared at her.

When the bell rang the seventh years headed for Advance Potions and to everyone's horror it was Snape, not his wife, teaching it. He ushered them in and then closed the door behind him.

"Today were working on a Calming Draught," he told the class. "The instructions are on the board and the ingredients are in the cupboard."

Everyone got up and headed for the cupboard. Suddenly Harry whipped his wand out and yelled the first spell that he knew, the Killing Curse. Snape dodged it and flicking his wand there was a huge bang and Harry the wizard was changed to Harry the Chipmunk. Snape flicked his wand and put Harry in a cage and then headed off to speak to the Headmaster.

Note: Well I did say that Harry wasn't going to like it. Next chapter: Ginny finds out the gender of her child, Hermione gets loads of letters from her old friends, and Alanna Wolff and Jeff Byrd have a meeting with the house that ate the dog.
