Harry and Ron protected Ginny from the darkness Hermione projected. She wasn't herself, and it was that Diary's fault.

"Hermione, stop it." Harry shouted at his friend, but when she glared at him, Harry knew she was no longer Hermione.

"A half blood can not tell me, a Pureblood what to do." Hermione hissed as she clicked her fingers and the wall disintegrated behind her. "Say hello to Dumbledore for me." Hermione waved and jumped out of the gaping hole. Harry and Ron ran to see if their friend had survived the fall, but she seemed to have, because no body was splattered on the concrete below. When Hermione left, the door was unlocked and Mrs Weasley pushed her way through into the room, obviously worried for her children's welfare. Ron and Ginny were swept up by their mother and questioned away from Harry. Kitara slipped passed the others and glanced at the hole. She then spotted the opalescent diary and picked it up. Hermione had written into it, and the reply was still visible.

I am going to take control. Close your eyes and count to ten.

"How long did Granger have this diary in her possession?" Kitara asked Harry.

"A couple of hours." Harry shrugged. "She got it off Malfoy this afternoon…" Harry clicked. Where else was one able to get personal belongings of Voldermort. "Bloody Malfoy! He did this to her!"

"Calm down Potter." Kitara said. "This diary was a vehicle for a soul. Not a memory, but a whole soul." Harry blanched. This was worse than Tom Riddles diary. If this woman is Granger's mother, Granger would be susceptible to the magic-"

"What do you mean a soul instead of a memory?" Ginny barked at Kitara.

"When you were possessed-that was a memory." Kitara explained. "But now Granger is being possessed by the soul of D'oro."

"That is ancient magic." Dumbledore said. "But not unheard of."

"It is practised in my home." Kitara said slamming the diary shut. "But I should be able to track Granger-Potter I need your assistance." Kitara marched out and Harry followed. Why she had chosen him was beyond him, especially when there was more than qualified wizards in the room. She led him to the empty kitchen and told him to sit while she drew another strange seal.

"Why did you choose me?"

"You have a closer connection to Granger than anyone else." Kitara said. "You two understand each other better than Weasley understands. With that connection, she would only talk to you." Kitara smiled at him. "Now, for this to work, you have to listen to exactly what I say okay." Harry nodded. "Now, stand and look forward." Harry did as she said, and wondered why she thinks he had a better connection to Hermione than anyone else, maybe it was because of their shared childhood growing up in the muggle world with no knowledge of magic or because of his soft spot for the girl. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Kitara rip the page out of the diary and place it writing side down and mutter something. Then there was a tingling sensation slowly making its way up his legs and through his extremities at a snails pace. It became painful and suddenly he was pulled forward. Kitara glanced at him.

"Near synchronization-Potter are you alright?"

"Yes." Harry lied. He would rather die that let his friend-his closest friend-become a vessel for some sadistic bitch.

Good. Are you alone? Kitara was becoming a bodiless voice. Harry now stood in a field of Asphodel, its flowers a ghostly white.

"Harry, you're here."

Harry turned to see Hermione, whose eyes were red and puffy and dishevelled looking.

No Harry replied. Hermione's here

Good. Your synchronized. Ask her if she is alright.

"Are you alright Hermione?" Harry asked as he embraced his friend. Hermione sobbed into his chest and the noise she made was horrendous.

"Harry I'm scared." Hermione swallowed her tears and looked up at the boy. "Tell Ginny I'm so sorry for attacking her. It wasn't me."

"She knows that." Harry replied.

Potter, ask if she can control her body

"Can you move your body?"

"No." Hermione said. "Its like I've been locked away. I can see what is happening but I can't move." Hermione was going to cry again. "What have I done?"

"Nothing Hermione, nothing."

Ask her if she can remember any names from Lucrezia.

"Has Lucrezia spoken to you about anything?" Harry persisted. Hermione shook her head. "Nothing at all?"

"Well, she told me that she was going to meet an old friend." Hermione admitted.

You have to pull out Potter, Lucrezia has locked in on us! Kitara said as he felt something punch his guts and wind him. He could hear Hermione pleading with someone else and when he looked up, he saw the woman who had taken over Hermione's body. She was similar to Hermione but was cold and filled with rage. She picked him up by the scruff of his neck and he swallowed hard.

Disconnecting now! Kitara roared in his mind and it was as though Kitara had gripped him hard and pulled him back into reality. He stumbled backwards and Kitara directed him to a seat and placed some chocolate into his hand.

"Did you get a location?" Harry asked numbly.

"A rough estimation." Kitara admitted. "She was trying hard to block me, but I have found something interesting. She can't move far from the Malfoy Manor."

"That's something I suppose." Harry was slightly disappointed in what little he was able to do for Hermione. "And that's where I'm going next. It was Malfoy who had given that bloody diary to her, I'm going to find out why."

"Well, you can't do that now." Kitara tutted. "Your still have recover from that jutsu. When I link to Manaia, she'll have an idea to what to do. Eat the chocolate."

Harry did. What was a jutsu? Was that something from her own country? Whatever it was, it was how he had spoken to Hermione just before.

"From the information you gleamed from Granger it seems that Lucrezia has taken control of her body." Kitara informed the boy. "And placed her as the subconscious…that takes a powerful spell to do."

"You said that people do it in your home." Harry said through a mouthful of chocolate.

"They do, but the technique is forbidden." Kitara replied, biting into a chocolate herself. "Many die and souls permenantly infused into the host body. Others succeed, but cannot return back into their old bodies. Usually this technique is used as a way to become immortal." She touched the ripped page of the diary and sighed.

"Immortal?"

"Nakizara, you have just employed a forbidden spell." Dumbledore said critically. Kitara didn't look at the old man and she seemed not to be starstruck by him either. She just saw him as a old man that seemed to hold a position of power. "That could have killed both you and Potter, what were you thinking?" Kitara glanced at the old man and replied.

"I was trying to locate Granger while everyone else was still shocked by the hole in the wall." Kitara said darkly. "And I have a location, thanks to the link between Potter and Granger."

"Would you be kind to share?"

"I could, but you do not have the permission to ask for access to it." Kitara said bluntly, and Harry swore he saw Dumbledore snarl at the girl. "My only superior is Manaia. You can ask her for the information." Harry inwardly whooped at the girls balls to stand up to Dumbledore. "And I do know the risks of the particular jutsu, as I created it."

"Come again?" Harry blurted, surprised.

"But that is of no importance. Granger is my primary concern. You knew of this Diary didn't you?"

Dumbledore didn't answer at first. Harry liked how Kitara could corner this man.

"Yes." Dumbledore admitted flatly. "It was a pair with Tom Riddles."

"And D'oro's relationship with Granger?"

"Correct, although it didn't seem to be important at the time."

"Neglected information can kill a person." Kitara said, as if she had experience in this sort of thing. By this time, most of the household had congregated outside of the room to eavesdrop. "I have no allegiance to anyone who neglects vital information like that." And with that, Kitara aparated away. Dumbledore did too, and Harry was left. Moments later, Kitara returned with more chocolate.

"Are you alright?"

"Yes." Kitara replied. "I should apologise next time I see him."

"But you had a point." Harry said as the others filled in the room. "If he had information that could have helped us, he should have shared." Kitara handed Harry more chocolate.

"Eat it."

-I hate Dumbledore. He annoys me because he keeps Harry and the others out of the loop on purpose. Good job Kitara has a go at him.
