Chapter 7: Attack On Hogsmead

"Okay, the ritual will take place next Saturday," Dumbledore told them.

"Yes, Lou and I have been working on it and memorizing the ritual," Hermione told them.

"Good," Severus said. "I want to forget about monsters for a couple of months."

Hermione told Dumbledore everything that they had done, though, thankfully, this meant that Severus had forgotten about the conversation. A first! Lou told them that she would be making sure that Hermione drank the blood potions so that she wouldn't fall off the broom. Hermione made it known that she hated flying.

"Are you worried that she'll be shot out of the sky," Harry said.

"No, I'm not," Dumbledore told him. "I'm sure that Hecate has told the other gods to leave Hermione alone."

"And he doesn't want Athena and the others mad at him," Hermione added and Dumbledore nodded in agreement.

"Fine, but I still don't like this."

"I know that you don't, Harry, but this is the only way," Dumbledore told him.

Hermione knew that Harry was worried about her and thankfully the extra classes that she was taking pulled her mind away from what Harry was feeling. She really loved him, but, he had to understand that there were things that he couldn't do for her. Making sure that this ritual worked was something that only she and Lou Ellen could do.

"I know that he's worried about you," Neville said.

"I know, but that doesn't mean that I can't handle myself."

"I know that he doesn't mean that you can't handle yourself," Neville went on.

Hermione sighed and said. "For a son of Demeter, you really need to work on your pep talks."

"Thanks, I think," Neville said.

"I'm going to bed," Hermione told him. "I'll see you in the morning."

"Sure," Neville said and Hermione left him alone.

That night Hermione had a horrible nightmare. She was standing on a cliff and seeing Hogwarts run over by monsters. People were dying and she saw Harry being cut into two. She screamed out his name, tears flooding her face, and then she woke up….to McGonagall's worried face.

"Miss Granger, what happened?" she asked.

"A demigod dream," she told him. "What are you doing here?"

"Dumbledore had an alarm put up in your dorm," she told her. "It went off when you started screaming and I used the fireplace to come in here."

"Thanks," Hermione said.

"No problem," she said and then she left.

The next day Hermione, Harry, Neville, and the others were in Defense Against the Dark Arts. Professor Lupin was covering a new creature for them. Thank the gods it wasn't a monster. Hermione told Harry what had happened at breakfast and he went nuts, like she expected that he would.

"It's not a big deal, Harry," Hermione told him.

"Not a big deal, you had a dream about Hogwarts being run over by monsters," Harry told her. "Don't tell me that nothing is wrong or that it's not a big deal."

Hermione winced at his tone but Neville asked. "Does Dumbledore know about your dream?"

"I'm sure that Professor McGonagall told him," Hermione said.

"Well then he'll know what to do," Neville reasoned.

Hermione doubted that anything that Dumbledore could think of would work.

Pulling herself back to the present she looked at Harry, who was tense. His ADHD and Dyslexia was probably in overdrive, just like hers was. She really hoped that he wasn't about to do something stupid. When the bell rang Professor Lupin held Hermione back.

"I'll see you guys later," she said.

"I'll wait outside," Harry told her.

Hermione nodded and he and Neville left.

"Minerva told me what happened last night," Remus said.

"I'm sorry about worrying people," Hermione told him.

"I know that you're sorry about worrying people, but Lou said that this ritual was very powerful. I'm worried that you might end up getting killed."

"I'm sure that Lou will make sure that doesn't happen," Hermione told him.

He sighed and said, "I know that, but I can worry about you."

"Thanks," Hermione said.

"So how did your talk with Severus go?" Remus asked.

"Well," Hermione lied.

"Then you know not to do it again," Remus said.

"Yes," Hermione said and then she left before Remus allowed her to leave.

She just hoped that Remus didn't ask Severus about the talk.

On Saturday Hermione and Lou took the stock of Blood Replenishing Potions and two brooms. Hermione prayed to Hecate, asking her to protect her, and then she made the first cut. She hissed in pain as the blood flowed into the chalice. She forced it to continue to flow until it was full. She drank down the first one, feeling better at once.

"I'll read the spell and you let the blood fall," Lou told her.

"No problem," Hermione said and they kicked off the ground.

They started at the main gate, Lou speaking the words as Hermione let the blood flow to the ground. A shimmer pool of light came from the fallen blood and followed them as they worked it. When the chalice was full she cut herself again and let the blood flow into it once more. Drinking more of the potion she let that fall, Lou Ellen chanting.

"It's working," McGonagall said.

Everyone was watching the new wards go up and Harry saw the concerned look on Dumbledore's face.

"Are you alright, sir?" Harry asked.

"I'm worried that Sirius Black is going to use this ritual to get in," Dumbledore told him.

"I know, I'm worried about that as well," he said. "But even if he did get in, we can stop him."

"Let's hope that your right, Harry," Dumbledore said. "Minerva, when Hermione and Lou are done send Hermione to the Hospital Wing."

"Yes, Albus," McGonagall said and then they went back watching it.

Hermione was starting to feel weak, even though she had drunk several vials of Blood Replenishing Potion. They were now flying over the sea, the wards going up as they went. Lou pressed her hand on Hermione's shoulder and that gave her the strength to continue. Finally they made it back where they started and the last drop of blood fell. The chalice vanished and Hermione blacked out.

When she came to she was in the hospital wing, feeling weak. Harry was looking at her and she wondered how long he had been there.

"What day is it?" Hermione asked.

"Nearly Halloween," Harry told her. "You've been out for two weeks."

Hermione stared at him and then set back. Two week, she had been out that long.

"The wards?" Hermione asked.

"Their secured," Harry answered, "Lou Ellen returned back to camp."

"Send her a thank you," Hermione told him.

"I will," Harry said. "Hermione, I got worried about you when you didn't recover like Lou told us that you would."

"I guess none of us knew how powerful the ritual would be," Hermione told him.

"That's what Lou said," Harry told her. "But, gods, I'm glad that you're alive."

Hermione smiled at him and then she fell back to sleep.

Hermione was released on Halloween and she was determined to enjoy herself. In Gryffindor tower everyone was glad that she was back. Only Harry and Neville knew that she had done a ritual to protect the school from monsters.

"Are you going to Hogsmead?" Neville asked her.

"Yes," Hermione said. "Are you coming, Harry?"

"Of course," Hermione said, smiling at him. "I'm glad that we don't have to worry about the monsters anymore."

"Until we return to the States," Harry said.

Hermione had to agree with that, though she didn't voice it.

So ten minutes later Hermione, Harry, Neville, and the others were heading to Hogsmead. For Hermione, she hadn't been here since Ginny, in the form of a gorgon, had attacked the village. If it hadn't been for Draco, she was sure that she wouldn't have killed her. The village wasn't as packed as Hermione thought it might be. Hermione and the others went into Honeydukes and bought some candy.

"These look like fun," Neville said.

They were little puffy things that nothing written on them. The woman gave them free samples of them, with a smile on her face.

"What do they do?" Hermione asked her.

"They make you float above the ground," she told her.

"Great," Harry said. "I'm going to give some to Dumbledore and McGonagall."

"Make sure that you share some with Severus," Hermione told him.

"Don't worry, I will," Harry promised.

They left Honeydukes and headed for the Three Broomsticks. Suddenly Hermione's senses went on high alert and she saw Harry taking his sword out.

"This doesn't feel like a monster coming," she told them.

"Then who could it be?" Harry asked her.

A series of hexes coming their way told them. Sirius Black had arrived in Hogsmead.

A/N: Wow, this is the longest chapter that I've written.
