Chapter Seventeen: Christmas with the Granger's Part 2
It was Christmas morning, the five teens were under the Christmas tree unwrapping the gifts that were left to them by friends first. Ron got everyone gift baskets, Lavender bought them all enchanted journals, Parvati and Padma got them frame portrait of themselves, and Neville bought them all a wand holders.
"These are brilliant!" Harry said.
"Lets open our present now." Ginny said anxiously.
They all began to opened one another's gift and were extremely happy in what they had.
"Harry I love this bracelet!" Hermione wrapped her arms around Harry. "Thanks for the book Ginny and Brooke."
Hermione held up the book it read, 'Portals'.
"This is beautiful you guys!" Brooke held up a golden necklace.
"We all chipped in," Ginny smiled.
"It's beautiful!" Brooke said with teary eyes. "Thank you!"
"I really like this amulet you got me." Luna said touching the amulet around her neck. "It will keep the nargales away."
"Mione your mum made breakfeast let's go eat," Mr.Granger said.
"I'm starving." Ginny smiled.
The five teens went and got breakfeast, the rest of the day they would spend playing in the snow on Hermione's front lawn. It's started to snow heavily, they ran back inside and brushed the snow of them, Hermione looked out the window and could barely see anything except the snow pilling up. They sat around fire, they began to tell each other stories about their idea of the best Christmas ever. Luna sat next to the window and began to tell her's dream of the perfect Christmas.
"Well it be me, my mum and dad and we would all sit around the tree exchanges gifts," Luna began. "Then my mum would probably make us Christmas breakfeast as she always does before she died and she would probably read me a story about when she was younger and in Hogwarts."
"Mines is a little like that," Brooke said. "I would be with my mum and dad, we would sit around the fire wrap in each others arms, my dad would play with me and do a little magic. He knew how much I love magic when I was younger, it was the best thing ever to me. Now it's just a way of escaping from reality, you know what I mean?"
"I do," Harry said. "Magic is the only thing I have to connect with my parents, without it I would feel completely lost."
"Can I tell you guys something?" Brooke said. "I'm not who you really think--"
"Something wrong!" Luna interjected as she placed her hand on the window and it began to slowly become covered in ice.
"Dementors," Harry whispered.
"Not yet," Brooke thought to herself.
"My mum and dad!" Hermione ran upstairs.
Black smoke began to fill the room as three death eaters apparated inside, Luna moved back to Harry, Ginny and Brooke.
"Well if it isn't Potter and his little play pals."
"Bugger off Bellatrix!" Harry spat.
"Little itty baby Potter is speaking up," Bellatrix cackled. "Crucio!"
Harry dropped to the floor in agonizing pain, he clutched his side rolling on the floor. Brooke pulled out her wand but it was immediately knocked out of her hand, she looked behind her to see Lucius with his wand up in the air, he was grinning. Luna stood next to Brooke getting worried, Brooke went into her pocket and pulled out her wand.
"Stupefy!"
Bellatrix went flying into a death eater behind her, Harry slowly got up still clutching his side. Lucius shot a stunning spell at Luna causing her to fall to the floor unconscious, Brooke sent a curse back at Lucius which he dodge. Harry pulled out his wand, Bellatrix got up from the floor and pointed her wand at Harry. "Petrificus Totalus!" Harry shouted, Bellatrix moved out of the way and the spell hit the death eater behind her.
"Ennervate!" Ginny revived Luna.
"What's going on? Luna asked.
"Take your wand!" Brooke handed Luna back her wand and picked up her own.
"Expelliarmus!" Lucius yelled, Brooke went flying across the room.
"BROOKE!" Harry yelled.
"She's okay," Ginny said. "Go help Hermione!"
Harry nodded and ran up the stairs to her parents room, Hermione parents were being tortured by Dolohov, and she was knocked unconscious in front of the Dark Lord himself.
"Leave them alone!" Harry shouted.
"CRUCIO!" Dolohov yelled.
Hermione's parents screamed louder, the window of the room broke and shards of glass cut Harry's cheek as it spreaded throughout the room. Harry felt himself getting cold rather quickly as three dementors entered the room, two of them began to perform the kiss on Hermione's parents.
"Expecto-" Harry began weakley. "Expec-"
"EXPECTO PATRONUM!"
A stallion looking horse came around the room warding off the dementors, Voldermort looked at the doorway. Ginny was holding out her wand with a staggering white light coming out of it, Harry took this chance to revive Hermione. Hermione woke up catiously, she saw Voldermort standing beside her and quickly backed up.
"Accio Hermione!" Harry yelled.
Hermione slid on the floor and by Harry's side, "Accio Mr. and Mrs. Granger!" they did the same as Hermione. They both were very weak from the torture they had just experience, Hermione turned to Ginny.
"I need to get that book you gave me."
"It's going to be difficult!" Ginny said.
"Why exactly?"
"Spells are ricohetting around the room which is why I came up here!"
"Summon it from the stairs!" Hermione shouted.
"Is this really the time." Harry said.
"Avada Kedvera!" Voldermort yelled.
"Expelliarmus!" Harry yelled back.
The two spells locked, a shield was cast around the two knocking, Hermione, Ginny, Dolohov, and Mr. and Mrs. Granger out of it.
"Accio book!" Hermione yelled.
A book came rushing up the stairs and into Hermione's hand, she began looking through the book for the simplest spell she knew she could perform.
"What are you doing?" Ginny asked.
"Getting my parents out of here!" Hermione rushed through the book. "This is the simplest spell but I don't think I can send them to a specific place but that not important."
"Hermione are you sure this is what you want to do?" Ginny asked.
"Yes," Hermione sighed.
"There no chance you'll find them again." Ginny stressed her.
"I know," Hermione cried. "But it better than them dead."
Ginny nodded her head.
"This take loads of magic are you going to help me?" Hermione asked.
"Of course."
"Read this." Hermione handed Ginny the book. "Ready?"
"Porta!"
A blue portal opened up shining a bright white light, Hermione looked at her parents and they understood what she was doing.
"I love you!" Hermione hugged her parents.
"We love you too," Mrs. Granger said. "We understand that you are making the right choice, we will see each other again Hermione never doubt that. We will never forget you."
"Your mother right dear," Mr. Granger smiled. "We love you so much and we will never lose our love for you, just try and find us!"
"Okay," Hermione smiled.
Hermione parent's walked through the portal and it vanished, Ginny turn to Hermione seeing her in tears. Harry was still in fierce combat with Voldermort, Hermione began to get furious and knew exactly who take it on.
"CRUCIO!" Hermione yelled.
The spell broke the barrier around Harry and Voldermort and almost caught him by smidge, Voldermort looked back at Hermione who growing intensly red. He apparated along with Dolohov, they heard a scream from downstairs. The three teens ran downstairs to see Brooke covered by a bookshelf and Luna trying to fight off Bellatrix and Lucius.
"Stupefy!" Harry and Ginny yelled in unison.
Bellatrix and Lucius flew out the window, the snow began to fill the room as Harry and Ginny ran outside to see if they were still there. Luna was tending to Brooke while Hermione sat on the staircase crying, Brooke got up and held her arms with had a big gash in it.
"We have to get out of here!" Harry said.
"Why?" Brooke asked.
"They might be back and more dementors are on the way!"
"What about him?" Ginny asked referring to the frozen death eater.
"Leave him!"
"It's to late!" Luna looked out the window. "They are here!"
The house became ice cold, the windows began to shatter as dementors made their way into the house. Hermione grabbed her book and ran upstairs with Harry, Ginny, Luna and Brooke behind her, they ran into the her room and locked the door.
"How long do you think that going to work?" Ginny asked.
"Not long," Brooke turned around. "Look!"
There were thousands of death eaters surrounding the house, Hermione pulled out her wand. She ran out the window at full speed and jumped out, Brooke ran to the window.
"Hermione!" Brooke yelled holding out her good hand.
Hermione stopped in mid-air, she looked up and saw Brooke. She was using her telekinesis to hold up Hermione.
"EXPECTO PATRONUM!" Hermione yelled.
An white light illuminated from Hermione's wand, a power surge like no one had ever scene before. Hermione's patronum fended off the rest of the dementors, Brooke slowly motioned her to the floor before running downstairs to get her. Hermione was freezing cold, she forgot that there was a blizzard going on. Harry took Hermione back into the house and set her on the couch.
"Are you okay?"
"Am I okay?" Hermione screeched. "Do I look okay?"
"Hermione he just trying---" Brooke began.
"Shut up!" Hermione yelled. "I am so tired of hearing your voice!"
"Hermione that is out of line!" Ginny bellowed out.
"YOU KNOW WHAT'S OUT OF LINE SENDING MY PARENTS AWAY!" Hermione screamed. "AHHHHHHHHH!"
"What going on?"
Hermione eyes turned intensely blue, Harry began to walk toward her but Ginny pulled him back.
"That's not Hermione," Ginny shook her head.

loonyXtune- Thanks for the review, I was going to kill her parents but I wanted something that would probably effect her more like knowing that her parents is alive but also knowing that she may never see them again. I don't like to see Hermione in pain if that what your think it just goes with the plot.
