Hermione was peacefully asleep when she was awoken by loud whimpers and cries of agony she shot up and cast a quick tempus it was Four thirty in the morning she got out of bed and went into Harrys she saw him struggling and twisting in his sheets she climbed into bed with him like she did many times before she pulled him to her chest and run her hands over his hair to soothe him she watched him as he stopped whimpering he heard him talk she listened carefully encase it is something useful.

''Hermione no, please don't kill her I love her I cant loose her take me kill me not her let her go.'' and he started to cry

Hermione was startled she had to wake him this was to distressing ''Harry, Harry come on its ok its me it's Mione we are safe I am safe.'' she sighed and shook him a little harder this time ''HARRY WAKE UP.'' she watched as he shot up and looked around before she was pulled into a tight hug

Harry could hear someone calling him he knew it was Hermione but she was dead how was she calling him when he shot up he saw her and pulled her into a hug he had tears rolling down his cheeks ''H...Hermione thank God your alive, your ok oh god.'' he didn't care that he was crying right now he was just glad to have her in his arms.

Hermione could feel his tears she was surprised Harry very rarely cried ''Shh it's ok, I am hear Harry what happened talk to me it will help.'' If she was honest with herself this was the worst she had ever seen him and it scared her to see him like that.

Harry allowed her to sooth him and he calmed him self down a bit ''He had you H...He wanted to punish me he gave you to B...Bellatrix to torture wh...when I charged in and argued with him he grabbed a hold of you and h..he Crutioed and used the Sectumsempra on you gods you were a mess you wouldn't tell him anything of our plans I don't know what it was but then he killed you in front of me and I killed him there straight after.'' he finished telling her but his voice got more of a whisper towards the end

Hermione was stunned by the strength and intensity of the nightmare ''Shh it's ok I am not going anywhere Harry I will never leave you but I will never give you up to him or anyone either I will die for you Harry and if I do then I want you to deal with it do not mourn me nor cry for me just know I love you and I did it for us for you and I died happy knowing you were safe.''

Harry shivered with Hermione's words he pulled back and looked at her ''Bu..but I can't loose you if I do I won't be able to move on I need you and I always will.''

Hermione shook her head ''I am not going anywhere I am here right now and if I can avoid it I will never leave you. We will bring down Voldomort once and for all but there are risks Harry we all know this Ron could die, Ginny, Minerva, Remus they all, could there is nothing we can do but take each step at a time and try and keep one step ahead always.'' she said to him in a soothing calm voice she knew how he was feeling it was her fear too that he could die and she would be left with no one but she knew that it could not be prevented if the worst did happen but she would do everything she could to make sure it wouldn't and she knew he would do the same for her.

Harry listened to her as she spoke and nodded ''I know Mione, i know I just don't want it to come to that.''

Hermione smiled ''I know neither do i but let's forget about it for now and get some sleep it's got to be about five right now.''

Harry smiled and watched as Hermione lay back down ''You don't have to stay?''

''Harry i am to tired to move right now i want sleep you need some too and it will do us both good to know were hear and safe.'' she watched as he lay down next to her she wondered about Ron and if they were right for each other all they did was argue and it was making her life a misery she sighed and pushed that away as well she was confused about everything and didn't want to deal with it after about ten minutes they were both fast asleep.

The next Morning Hermione woke up from her alarm she looked over and saw that Harry was still asleep, she smiled and got out of bed and headed towards the bathroom to have a quick shower, she was glad that Professor Snape was teaching again, she never liked the one they had he used to creep her out he used to talk to her all the time and tried to make friends with her, harry and Ron she hated it and she thought he couldn't teach to save his life.

Harry woke up and turned over to see that Hermione wasn't there when he heard the shower, he smiled and shook his head, he got up and decided to skip a shower and have one later he got himself dressed grabbed his stuff and headed down to the common room he knew Ron would be down soon.

Ron woke up in Gryffindor Tower he got him self ready and headed out and down to both Harry and Hermione's rooms when he got their he told the painting that was guarding the door to tell them he was there when a few seconds later the door opened he walked in and smiled when he saw Harry sat their ''Hey Harry, wares Mione.''

Harry was sat their making sure he had everything when he was disturbed he looked up he was told Ron was out side he nodded ''Yeah send him in.'' he smiled when he saw Ron enter ''She is having a shower.''

''Oh right you think she is still mad at me?'' he asked Harry as he sat down next to him

Harry chuckled ''I don't think So mate but it was your own fault you know that don't you?'' Harry said with amusement in his voice

Ron groaned ''Yes i know i can't help it i mean it's snape! i don't know why she cares so much anyway''

Harry stopped smiling ''Ron you need to start being more considerate and watching what you say and how you say it around her you are going to cause a rift between you both and you will loose her if you carry on the way you are.'' he said in a serious tone

Ron shrugged ''Yes i know but she will forgive me she always does.'' he said paying no mind to what Harry had just said

Harry rolled his eyes and shook his head when he heard the door open he smiled ''Morning Mione.''

Ron turned as well ''Hey babe you ready to go I'm starving.''

Hermione smiled at Harry ''Morning Harry.'' when she heard Ron she couldn't help but feel frustrated with him ''Ron is that all you think about is food.''

Ron grinned at her ''No. ok sometimes.'' he watched as they both raised their eyebrows at him ''Okay your right now can we go please?''

Hermione and Harry both shook their heads and laughed, she quickly grabbed her bag and the three of them headed down to breakfast before they would have Potions. once they got into the hall, they took their usual seats Ron sat opposite her and Harry they all put food on their plate Hermione looked around and her eyes landed on the head table, she looked along and her eyes landed on Snape when she saw him glare at her she turned her head back to her plate.

Hermione was startled when Ginny plopped down beside her and smiled ''Hey Gin you ok?''

Ginny walked into the hall and saw Hermione, Harry and her brother, she sat down next to Hermione ''Yeah fine you looking forward to Professor Snape teaching?''

Hermione smiled ''Yes actually in a way I mean you know i never liked the other Professor nor Harry so that's a bonus only it looks like I will be keeping both boys out of detention and myself if I can. so what about you what you got first?'' she continued to have a conversation as both Ron and Harry did as well only they were discussing Quiditch.

Harry was talking to Ron about the quiditch match when he was nudged in the arm by Hermione ''What up?''

Hermione was enjoying her conversation when she realized they should be going she quickly said a goodbye to her and nudged Harry ''Yes we best get going I don't fancy detention on our first day back and our first day with Professor Snape teaching?'' she made sure she put more emphasis on the name Professor.

Harry gathered his stuff up, he didn't want detention either ''Come on Ron we better get going.'' he said as he got up to follow Hermione out of the hall and to his potions class, he and Ron finally caught up with her and they walked the rest the way to the dungeons together as to one not be late to avoid detention as well as talking about visiting Hagrid when they arrived they entered the classroom Harry and Ron sitting in front of her while she sat behind them and waited for the lesson to start she wondered what mood he would be in.
