"Harry!" I gasp.

Severus nudges me. A signal to be quiet. I look at him and notice his clothes have changed; he is now wearing his Death Eater robes. Memories of the last time I saw him in them flood back.

I scowl and look back over to Harry on the ground.

"CRUCIO" Voldermort bellows and I can only watch as Harry twitches about uncontrollably on the ground. I too know how that feels.

An echo of eerie laughter shivers around the Dark Circle.

"Welcome" Voldermort Hisses, "As you can see, today is a cause for celebration" a cheer erupts from the group of Death Munchers.

I look up at Severus; he does not join in the celebration.

Thank Merlin.

"Finally I have captured baby Potter, and this time there is no getting away" the snake-like man hisses, "CRUCIO", Harry lets out a wail of pain.

I can't bear this.

"Nooo" I cry out.

Almost instantly Severus clasps my mouth shut and pleads to me to be quiet.

"Hahahahaha" Voldemort's snake like hiss echoes throughout the dome of despair. "Well, well, well, I must say Severus this is quite a shock".

"I don't know what you mean my Lord" Severus whispers with his head bowed.

I look at him pitifully; I know it's all a show but I wish he would just stick up for what he believes in sometimes.

"Why, I think you do, you have taken a shine to the Mudblood" Voldermort hisses.

How the hell does he know?

"Master I don't…"

"Pray tell, how can you deny it Severus, you may mask you emotions off from the rest of the world, but you cannot hide it from me, that sickening, foul, pitiful emotion you so call love its disgusting and.."

"Fuck you" I cry out.

"Don't you speak to me you filthy Mudblood, CRUCIO" Voldermort orders.

Instantly that familiar, but unwelcome pain of the Crucio Curse slices through my veins and tears at my flesh.

"Master" Severus begs for my release of the curse.

"Ha" I hear Voldermort cackle, "You do love her don't you, there is no place for that within my circle Severus, say goodbye…" I see him lift his wand at Severus, as he does so he lifts the Crucio Curse from me.

"AV-"He begins.

"No" I yell and with all the strength I have I try to move, I can't, my limbs cry out in protest, they are numb from the recent curse. All I can do it watch.

No, no, no how can this be happening?

No!

No!

No!

I look over and watch as a beam of emerald light flows slowly out of Voldermort's wand, slowly, as if time does not exist anymore, it travels across the air toward Severus' chest.

No, this cant be happening, no.

I close my eyes tight, I won't watch. I can't watch. With all my might I will for it to stop, please let it stop. Just let it stop.

Suddenly, a quiet hush surrounds me. I unsurely open my eyes. Everyone is quiet, silent as if they have been covered by a cold, wet blanket. They are all looking amazed.

What is going on?

"Hermione" I hear a silky voice call.

I look up and see Severus crouching down beside me. He begins to stroke my hair and kiss me gently on the fore head.

"W-Whats happening?" I whisper.

He just looks at me and smiles. He reaches out a hand to me to help me up, I take it warily.

"Severus, Whats happening?" I repeat. That is until I see.

"Harry!" I cry.

Harry looks over at me with his bright Emerald Green eyes and smiles, a true, twinkling smile.

He is standing over what looks to be a dead body, I realise by the looks on the Death Eaters faces that it must be Voldermort in his mortal form.

Harry has killed him.

Killed him.

Harry.

"Oh my God, Harry" I run as best I can, (it's more like hobbling actually) over to him. "You did it, you did it" I cry. Hugging and kissing his blood stained face.

He pauses and holds me out at arms length.

"No, you did" he whispers.

What the-?

I look around at all the other Death Munchers, they are all standing and staring at me, one by one they begin to raise their wands and lower them to the ground. They raise their hands in a surrendering way.

What is going on?

"Hermione, you never told me" Harry gasped.

"Told you what Harry" I ask now slightly annoyed that no one is telling me what the freck is going on.

"She doesn't know" Severus gasps beside me.

"Doesn't know what?" I ask impatiently.

"And he will defeat the Dark Lord with the power he knows not" Harry recites.

"Harry what are you talking about?" I begin to yell.

"The power of Love?" Severus asks him.

"Yes, Love and Friendship from a Muggle born" Harry says amazed. "what he would least expect".

"The power he knows not, of course" Severus says gob-smacked, "Muggle born magic".

I have had enough, "Will someone tell me what the fuck is going on?" I bellow.
