A/N: hey kiddos. I just want to say thanks a billion to the people who have stuck with Melted Daisies, and especially those who have reviewed! You make my day! Also I have just remembered that according to my story there are 2 professor Amadahys (Arana and Tammy) Just to clear things up, Tammy is the real one and Arana will never be mentioned again. –maybe--
Disclaimer: If you're reading this you're either A) amused by what I say here B) it was a mistake or C) You still need proof that I'm not J.K. Rowling. And if it's C that's making you read this…Ummmm…I have nothing to say to you.
A few hours later at breakfast their was an uncomfortably awkward feel amongst the group.
"Where's Harry?" Ryann asked. "I mean he collapsed onto the floor this morning and then disappeared."
Ginny, Fred, George, Ron and Hermione exchanged glances they had not thought up a lie explaining the absence of Harry. Lily, along with the others, saw this.
"Ryann, I thought you knew, Harry was taken to St. Mungos." Lily said, guessing Harry not being there had something to do with the future.
Hermione sat holding a fork in her hand playing with the tiny amount of food there was on her near empty plate. The Weasleys looked anxious and one by one kept whipping glances at the door hoping that Harry would enter as they looked but there was no such luck.
Remus shook his head and went back to eating his toast, not fully in belief. Moments later he was followed by Ryann, Amanda, James, and Sirius.
Although Lily had acted calm all that morning she couldn't help but to look at James and almost feel her heart melting. She had almost no sleep due to the fact that she could not keep the mental picture of James and Tammy kissing passionately out of her head.
James sat eating his breakfast sneaking glances over at Tammy over at the Ravenclaw table. He really liked her. But (to Sirius' disappointment) he had yet to sleep with her. He blamed it on the fact that he was tired last night but it was because he couldn't stop thinking of Lily. He ended up not being able to sleep and instead went into his old room to have more than a wall to separate himself and Lily.
Hermione knew that there was no way that she would be able to make it through the day without crying. So she did something that was anything but her. After a long silence between the group she spoke up.
"Fred, George…can I borrow one of your Skiving Snackboxes?" everyone besides the Weasleys stopped what they were doing and stared at her in awe.
"Hermione?" Amanda asked in disbelief.
"Yeah sure which do you want?" George asked.
"Fever Fudge." she said
When breakfast was done the group waved goodbye to Ginny and headed into Transfiguration, which was no help at all.
Professor McGonagall began discussing the topic of Animaguses, this kept Sirius, James, and Peter entertained.
Hermione stood no chance when McGonagall showed the class by turning into a tabby cat. This brought back memories of Crookshanks, who was with her parents when…
She reached into her pocket and pulled out the Fever Fudge and put half of it into her mouth and the next thing she knew she was excused from class and walking down to the hospital wing. The weird thing was she felt no regrets from skipping class. A few hours after classes were over, Hermione slipped the other half of the candy into her mouth. Madam Pomfrey cleared her to go and she met up with the group back in the Gryffindor Common Room.
"So how was your day off Hermione?" Amanda asked.
"Fine." She said.
"I'm bored, we should go visit Harry in St. Mungos." James said.
"Why? He's not hurt, it's just his aunt." Ron said going along with the story that they had created that Harry's aunt was attacked by an owl. The story was created by Fred and George.
"But still don't you think we should be with him for emotional support?" James asked.
"Na, he'll be fine." Ginny said.
"Suit yourselves. I've gotta go do rounds night everyone."
"Night." They replied as James excited the common room.
Ryann grabbed Remus's watch and read it.
"It's ten o'clock already?" she said "I'm going to bed. Anyone else?"
"I'll go to bed with you." Sirius said as he snickered at his pathetic joke.
"I think I'll pass." Ryann rolled her eyes and walked up to the girl's dorms.
Later, she was followed by Amanda and Lily. Sirius, Remus and Peter headed up to bed and hour later leaving Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Fred and George to wait for Harry nervously, hoping that he was allright, knowing there must be something wrong.

The wind blew onto Harry's face. It was a normal cool autumn wind that felt refreshing against Harry's prickling scar. He threw his invisibility cloak over him and ran toward the burrow, wand at the ready clenched in his hand.
He ran to the door and took out the peeker to see if it was safe inside. He looked through it and saw Mrs. Weasley sitting at the kitchen table while some of the pots and pans in the sink cleaned themselves. He knocked on the door and saw Mrs. Weasley look up and grab her wand, she walked to the door and leaned against it.
"Who's there? Is that you Kinsley?" she asked in a harsh whisper.
"No it's Harry."
"Harry?" she swung the door open as Harry stashed the peeker into his pocket. She looked upon him and flung her arms around him. "Harry, are you alright? How's Ron? Is Ginny okay? Fred? George?" she asked
"They're all fine." He said needing to get to the point. "Listen Mrs. Weasley, the reason I'm here is to get you out, you need to hide away from the burrow."
"Why?" she asked stubbornly.
"No time to explain, where's Mr. Weasley?" he asked.
Mrs. Weasley looked worried.
"He's at work, expected home any time now."
Harry sighed heavily glancing out the door.
"You need to leave NOW!" he said
"He'll be home any second now." She said looking rather worried
Just then Mr. Weasley entered the already opened door.
"Hello Molly, why's the door…oh hello Harry." He said distraught
"Hi, you need to get out of here now."
"What's…"
"No time. Now where's somewhere safe you can go for now?" Harry asked once again glancing out the door. Before they could answer Harry reached up to his forehead which began to prickle uncontrollably.
"Harry dear, what's wrong?" Mrs. Weasley asked.
"He's coming you need to get out of here." Harry said. "Go find somewhere safe and stay there."
The two Weasleys nodded, hooked arms and disappeared from the house seconds later. Harry felt a sigh of relief as he took out the time turner. Suddenly the door burst open and there stood a cloaked figure. Harry knew who it was due to the immense pain issuing from his forehead.
"Harry Potter." The high voice sent a shiver up Harry's spine. Voldemort entered the room. "I knew you'd be here after what I did to your mudblood friend's muggle parents."
Harry said nothing he clenched his wand in his hand.
"You will not escape this time Harry you will die tonight."
Harry again did not say anything. He did not even blink he kept eye contact with Voldemort knowing that at anytime he could strike. Voldemort smirked.
"AHHH!" Harry screamed as he felt a sharp pain in his leg. He collapsed to the ground and saw a giant snake come at his chest. As it bit down near his shoulder he felt a pain like no other. Nagini continued to attack him while he lay on the ground and Voldemort laughed. Harry smelt the strong odor of blood.
"Enough!" Voldemort said in what Harry knew to be Parseltongue. Nagini remained next to Harry ready to strike at her master's command. Voldemort stepped closer to Harry's heavily injured body and looked down upon it, still smirking.
Harry could not think of any way he wouldn't die. He almost felt the snake's poison flowing through him.
"Crucio." Voldemort said. Harry screamed in pain until Voldemort stopped.
"I am going to kill you now Harry Potter." He said and raised his wand. Harry barely had any strength left in him. "Avada Kedavra." Voldemort said.
Harry quickly, with all the strength he had, grabbed the snake and blocked the curse with it's body then threw the time turner around him and turned it multiple times before Voldemort knew what was going on and disappeared from the burrow into a field.
Harry lay on the ground. His body was soar and he knew he was dieing. He lay in the field where he knew in a few years the Burrow would be built and Charlie Weasley would be born.
With the little strength he had left he grabbed his wand and invisibility cloak from his pocket and apperated to Hogsmede. He was bleeding uncontrollably and could barely walk. He limped all into Honeydukes and went through the passage. He needed to tell the Weasley kids that their parents were safe before the snake venom spread to his heart.
He walked to the Gryffindor Common room door and knocked on it. He collapsed to the ground. He heard footsteps and saw the door swing open to reveal Hermione.
"Hello?" she asked looking around not seeing Harry under the cloak. "Who's there?" she asked.
"Hermione." Harry said very weakly and barely audible.
"Harry?" she said. "Accio Cloak." Harry felt the cloak fly off of him and go to Hermione. "Harry!" she rushed out to him seeing the deep, heavily bleeding wounds all over his body. "Harry what happened?"
"Ron." Was all Harry could say.
"RON!" Hermione yelled. Harry saw Ron emerge from the Gryffindor common room although he became a blur.
"Hermione what's…HARRY." He said. "What happened? Is my family okay?"
Harry nodded then collapsed to the ground.
