Chapter Eleven
Halloween Troubles
Halloween finally came and Hermione was curled up on the sofa in front of the fire in the Gryffindor Tower with a cup of hot chocolate. Unseasonal snow was falling hard outside and most of her housemates were out enjoying the weather.
There was a tap on the window, breaking the silence that had fallen over the room, making Hermione jump. She got up and walked over to the window, opening it up and looking out.
Harry grinned at her, Ron and Ginny either side of him, his broom level with the window. "Hi, we felt bad for leaving you alone. Want to come for a ride?" He asked. Hermione grinned. "Okay. I lied about not liking flying. I couldn't keep the same character each time." She told her friends.
The three flyers grinned delightedly. Harry turned his broom to the side and shuffled forward to give Hermione some room. She climbed out the window and sat on the back, wrapping her arms around his waist.
The four spent the day flying around, playing games and racing each other. They didn't have a single care in the world.
Hermione threw back her head and laughed as Ron whined about being beaten by them all once again. "It was my broom!" He protested. "Sure it was, Slow Poke." Harry teased. A chilling feeling entered Hermione's veins and she could feel that something was wrong in her bones.
"Slow down, Harry." She hissed. Confused, Harry slowed his broom. Hermione's keen eyes scanned the grounds for any warning signs.
The lakes was slowly turning to ice so rapidly it couldn't just be the weather. Dread seized Hermione as she realised that she, and everyone else, had misinterpreted the signs. The snow.
The snow wasn't global warming, but the rain freezing as it fell due to the presence of one of the most terrible creatures in the Wizarding world. The Soul Sucking Dementors.
"Harry, we need to gather the DA. Ginny get the first and seconds years inside; Ron, go get Albus and the others!" Hermione yelled pulling out her wand and the D.A. Galleon.
A whispered charm on it later and Hermione's voice reached all DA members. "Assemble at the entrance steps, we are under attack! Dementors are here. If you are above second year, you may fight. We need to move, NOW!"
The DA leapt into action, Ron collecting the Professor and everyone else ushering those incapable of performed the Patronus charms inside the castle. Hermione and Harry landed at the lead of the group.
Hermione stood in front of them all, her wand pointed at the sky. She invoked the power of the wards and the very magic embedded in Hogwarts to protect the students inside.
A black tornado landed inside the forbidden forest, just beyond the wards, and a robed figure emerged from the forest. "Tom, you will not harm anyone here as long as I live." Hermione growled.
Voldemort smirked at her. "Are you sure about that?" His gaze turned to Harry. "Or did you forget the Prophesy?"
Hermione's eyes narrowed as she glared at the poor excuse for a man. "It can go either way and I plan for Harry to win. He has the support of the Magic of Hogwarts and the heir of Gryffindor and Ravenclaw." She declared.
Voldemort gave a mocking bow. "Then let the war begin." He announced. Hermione returned the bow. "It already began the moment you attacked my boys, my family!" She snarled. Voldemort inclined his head before entering the forest once more.
After the tornado that was Voldemort vanished, the horrors of the Dementors was unleashed upon the school. Hermione yelled at the others to get in formation, teachers closest to the school, then the third years, fourth years, fifth years, sixth years and seventh years and the DA.
As the masses of black cloaks that were the Dementors flew over the trees, Hermione raised her wand to them. "Everyone, think the happiest thoughts and cast the strongest charm you can." She cried.
Around her, thin wisps of silver smoke raised into the air. Hermione shut her eyes and summoned the happiest memory she had. "Expecto Patronum!" She yelled. A huge silver winged lion shot out of her wand and attacked the Dementors.
After half an hour of the charms, the Dementors were finally beaten and fled. Hermione smiled in triumph as a joyous cry rose from those who were fighting. "We did it!" Harry cheered. "It's only the beginning." Hermione sighed.
