FLASHBACK
"YES ONE HORCRUX DOWN AND ONE TO GO" Ron exclaimed as the two boys came inside of the living room. Hermione was sitting on a couch facing the fireplace. She looked up to see Ron
running out of the room to drop off their suitcases. Hermione looked over expecting to see two of her best friends. Her smile turned into a small frown. Where was he?
"Harry?" Harry looked up to meet hazel eye's that were reflecting his deep down. "Where is he?" Harry looked back down at his feet and mumbled to himself. "I'm sorry… I didn't hear
you."
"I said he…"
"Can you believe it we actually only have one left just ONE! HAHAHA let's celebrate." Ron exclaimed running into the room. He stopped mid stride at the sad faces of his friends only to
have his face turn dark to reflect their mood. Hermione started crying shaking her head no.
"I'm sorry Hermione me and Ron did everything we could."
"He's…he's dead?!"
"No," Harry took a deep breath "He… he betrayed us."
"LIAR!!!"
"Hermione please."
"HOW DARE YOU LIE TO ME HARRY!"
"Hermione…"
"NO!" Hermione ran out the door before they, the boys, could stop her. Ron looked and Harry with guilt.
TIME LAPS
"Hermione are you ok?"
"Go away Ron!" Came a voice from behind the closed door.
"Hermione please I'm sorry that it happened." The door opened to show a, surprisingly calm Hermione.
"I know Ron. I should've known. I mean he was a Slytherin."
"I can't believe we trusted him."
"Will… will you tell me what happened?"
"RON…HERMIONE COME HERE HURRY!" Ron and Hermione looked down towards the kitchen.
"Later ok?"
"Ok!" Ron grabbed Hermione's hand and ran down the stairs. Hermione stopped at the top as Ron ran on. She took in her surroundings it didn't matter how many times she was here it
always took her breath away. When Harry had turned of age he had inherited Gordric Hollow. And so when school had ended Harry invited Ron and Hermione to come live with him so that
they could look up the locations and destroy the horcruxes. After a month they had found HIM on the doorstep bleeding to death. And he had begged for mercy and safety. And after a(n)
interrogation they had reluctantly granted it.
The staircase had gold railings and the stairs themselves were made of red carpet and if you looked carefully along the wall near the floor there were animated lions running up and down
the stairs playing with each others. "OY Hermione are you coming?" Hermione looked up, startled out of her fantasy, to see Ron snip back into the kitchen. After another look to see the
consequences to a lion that had sneaked up behind another ready to attack, quickly followed.
"What's got you all excited Harry?"
"The last piece of soul is located in Nagini. And so to kill two birds with one stone will kill Nagini and in the process will end up killing Vol….Vold…well you know who?"
"Ron for crying out loud it's Voldemort. And how do you think that killing Nagini will kill him?" I scolded. Ron look confused for a second and than opened his mouth to answer and than
closed it. And than opened it again only to turn to Harry.
"Harry?" Hermione and Harry rolled their eyes then Hazel met Green.
"They'll be in the same vicinity."
"OH… I mean yeah what he said." Ron said blushing and turning away.
"Well than let's go; what are we waiting for?" Hermione asked. She noticed the look the two boys shared. "What?"
"We want you to stay here."
"You what Harry?" Hermione asked not trying to hide the hurt in her voice. After everything they just wanted her to stop. After everything!
"We want you to remain safe…and… we don't want you to get hurt."
"So your not letting me help you?"
"Hermione please it's for your own safety." Hermione shook her head in disbelief. Before looking at Ron.
"And what about you Ron?"
"I feel like that you might be a weak point. I mean what if you get captured or hurt or even killed."
"Killed Ronald?"
"Well…"
"Look Harry Ron I can take care of myself you don't need to baby-sit me."
"Hermione Ron just means that if you, if we come across him you'll be in trouble. Please don't do this I beg you and Ron begs you." Hermione frowned in thought. She smiled suddenly
shocking the two boys.
"Ok. Go get ready!" The boys stared at her in shock as she left the room.
Hermione ran upstairs to her room she put her hand on the door so that the wards would let her in. The door opened omitting her into the interestingly decorated room. The king sized
bed was decked out in blood red sheets and forest green blankets. The walls were a dark velvet Red with silver snakes. All of the other furniture was a light silver with animated gold lions
and green snakes. (Well what do you expect when you have a room shared between a Slytherin and Gryffindor?)
Hermione grabbed a piece of parchment and quill and quickly started writing a note.
Dear Mr. Halvern,
I thank you for looking over and accepting my application. I would like to come immediately to start my training if it is convenient for you. Hope to hear from you soon,
Hermione.
Hermione quickly reread the letter. Once she was satisfied that it was appropriate, short, and to the point. She walked over to the fire place and grabbed some flew powder she put it in
than stated "St. Carns for magical infirmaries in Orem, Utah (AN: I went online and found a random place)" before putting the letter in, in a flash of green fire before the grate went back to
the normal orange color for fire. Hermione stood up from the fire place and went over to the walk in closet. She knelt down and picked up the trunk and started packing. A couple minutes
later and the fire turned a greenish color. Hermione walked over and picked up the letter that was sitting on the black tiles in front of it.
Hermione,
I wound be most glad to have you come. A warning in advance your training will consist of two years constant after that depending on your skills you'll be transferred to the ward that will
suit you best. You will also be training with my heir and his brother. I believe you will all get along nicely.
Best of Luck,
Healer Havern.
Hermione quickly packed the letter and than started gathering the rest of the possessions. There was a knock on the door. Hermione went over to the door and let in Harry. Harry looked
around and looked at the never ending trunk.
"Where are you going?"
