Chapter 28
"The only absolutely and unapproachably heroic element in the soldier's work seems to be—that he is paid little for it—and regularly."
- John Ruskin (1819 - 1900)
"Help! Someone help me!" Hermione thought. "Please!"
"Cruico!" yelled a voice.
Hermione heard Malfoy scream in pain when he was off of her and onto the floor. Hermione took the cloth out of her mouth and looked up to see who her savoir was. Hermione gasped in amazement.
"Voldemort?" she thought.
"Are you alright?" asked Voldemort giving his hand out to Hermione.
Hermione didn't say anything but nodded her head as she took his hand. He pulled her off the ground and turned his head around when he saw her chest. Hermione saw this, blushed as she button her gown, and saw Lucius lying on the floor unconscious. Voldemort walked Hermione to her room and waited for her to get onto the bed. He was about to leave until…
"Wait!" Hermione yelled out to him. "I wanted to thank you."
"You're welcome." He answered.
"Why did you save me?" she asked staring at him.
Voldemort stared at Hermione for a while and didn't answer. To tell you the truth, he didn't know why he saved her. He was using his powers to see what she was thinking and instead of knowing where Dumbledore's quarters were, he saw her almost getting rape in his library.
"I don't know." He whispered.
And then he turned his back on Hermione and walked away. Hermione stood there, staring blankly after him. Suddenly, she got confused of what just happened. First, she hated the man and now, she's thanking him for saving her life. Hermione changed into some Pj's and drifted off to sleep.
Voldemort closed the door behind him as he entered his room. He started to walk around his room back and forth and was surprised there wasn't a hole yet. He looked down at his pale hand, where Hermione's touch made him feel so different. He hadn't have a woman touch him for such a long time and couldn't believe it has been more than 16 years and felt such a warm hand touch his cold one. Voldemort growled at himself. He was supposed to make the Granger girl join his army, not making himself fall for her. Just like he did with Jane.
Meanwhile at Hogwarts….
Harry and the rest of young Order where sent back to Hogwarts to study and rest for the week until they could figure out a plan. Harry didn't like this but he knew that he had to follow orders if he wants Hermione back alive. He keeps hearing Hermione's voice pleaded for him to save her. Harry sighed as he closed his eyes and drifted off to a deep sleep.
"Help! Someone help me please!" cried a girl.
Harry heard this girl's cry but it wasn't any girl….it was Hermione's cry. Harry ran to the library and found Lucius Malfoy on top of Hermione, who's bra was showing and her mouth was tied. Harry felt anger grow in his veins; he raised his wand at Malfoy.
"Cruico!" he yelled and the curse hit Malfoy making him fall off of Hermione.
Hermione took the cloth out of her mouth and looked up at amazement when she saw who her hero was.
"Are you alright?" Harry asked giving his hand out to Hermione.
Hermione nodded her head as she took Harry's hand and button her gown. Harry walked Hermione to her room and stayed there for a while watching her. He was about to leave her alone until:
"Wait!" Hermione yelled out to him. "I wanted to thank you."
"You're welcome." He answered.
"Why did you save me?" she asked staring at him.
"I don't know." He whispered and he left the room.
Harry sat straight in bed and noticed that he wasn't sweating like he use to. It wasn't a nightmare; it was Voldemort's eyes showing him Hermione. Harry got out of bed and ran towards the headmaster's office.
KNOCK!
"Come in." said the headmaster who was sitting at his desk.
The old headmaster lifted his head up when he saw Harry enter the room.
"Harry, what can I do for you?" he asked putting his hands under his chin.
Harry sat across from him, "Sir, I had a dream of me being Voldemort. I heard Hermione crying out for help in the library and the next thing I knew; I used the cruico curse at Lucius Malfoy."
"May I ask why?" Dumbledore asked.
"He was going to rape Hermione." Harry said angrily, "But sir, Hermione seemed shocked that it was Voldemort who saved her and yet, he didn't know why."
"It seems like to me, that young Tom Riddle is coming back," Dumbledore answered, "And Miss. Granger is the key into doing that."
