What You Don't Know Could Kill You

"HARRY!" screamed Hermione, "HARRY COME BACK! PLEASE HARRY, I NEED YOU!"

Harry was gone. Voldemort has killed him; finally, the Dark Lord has defeated the boy who lived. Harry was fighting and somehow Voldemort had gotten the upper hand. Ron jumped in to try to help Harry but now both of them were lying there...dead.

Harry, Hermione, and Ron were looking for Sirius. They were searching the ruins in the forbidden forest. An anonymous person had written to Harry stating that Sirius was there. They had never found Sirius; but they found Voldemort with hall of his death eaters. Ron and Hermione had fought off the most of them, while Harry had competed with Voldemort. Once all of the death eaters were gone Hermione and Ron watched Voldemort and Harry duel, since they both knew that it was Harry's fight and they could not join the battle themselves.

Once Harry started loosing control of the situation, Ron could not force himself to watch and dived in to help. It only resulted in his and Harry's death. Now after Voldemort had disaparated Hermione was looking at the dead forms of the two people who meant most to her.

"Why? Why did he have to take you from me, Harry and Ron you both meant so much to me? Why did the world take you both from me? Now I can never tell you, Harry that I wanted to be more than friends with you. Now I will never be able to tell you. WHY!" Hermione screamed as loud as she could, not that anyone would hear her.

"WHY!" Lavender was trying to wake up Hermione by shaking her as hard as she could.

"Hermione that's the third time this week. What is going on inside that head of yours?" asked Lavender sweetly. Luckily, no one else was awake.

"Honestly, Lavender I don't know. I can't possibly think of why this is happening to me," Said Hermione in defeat.

"Well, what is happening in these nightmares?" asked Lavender.

"Harry and Ron...they are killed, fighting...against Voldemort..."she said crying.

"Oh, honey its okay. Stop crying. It'll be alright," said Lavender holding Hermione's quivering body.

*****

"Hermione! Hermione! Are you okay? Where are you?" screamed Ron. Hermione had fallen down into a dark hole. He could not see her. Harry was not around; he was still asleep in his bed.

Hermione and Ron had gone for a walk around the lake and they had somehow ended up in the forest.

"How did we get here?" asked Hermione with a tremor in her voice.

"I dunno," said Ron. That was when Hermione fell. Ron was now screaming for her; trying to see if he could hear her voice. Ron, as a last resort jumped in after her.

When Ron fell, he landed on a stone floor. The place he landed turned out to be some sort of cave. He did not see Hermione anywhere so continued to walk through the "cave".

"Lumos," he whispered. A small light came from the end of his wand. He could see that he was in a sort of hallway. The walls were made of chipped stone with vines growing upwards. As he continued walking, he started to hear cries of help from Hermione. Ron started to run as fast as he can, but as he ran faster and faster the doorway started getting father and farther away. Nothing he did could get him closer to the increasing screams of his beloved Hermione.

"Hermione!" screamed Ron as loud as he could. He shot up in bed drenched with sweat. All he could do is think of the horrible dream he had just had. Ron looked over at Harry's bed, 'good' he thought' at least I did not wake him up. If he knew I was in love with Hermione, it would ruin everything.

'Where am I?' thought Harry as he looked around. All he could see where stony walls that looked as though they had been around forever. Suddenly a figure approached him. It had a long black cloak that swished along the ground as he walked. As he looked up towards the face, he noticed the hood was up covering most of the face. All you could see were red snake like eyes. It occurred to Harry in a flash. Voldemort was standing before him.

"Hello, Harry Potter," Lord Voldemort hissed, "Long time no see, I believe we have a lot to catch up on."

"I believe we do, but unfortunately I don't think you'll be around for long," Harry spat.

"Oh, and why do you say that?" asked Voldemort.

"Because I am going to kill you, once and for all." Harry whispered.

"Really, and would you still kill me if I were to say that two certain people that you care about are going to die if I die?" asked Voldemort acting innocent.

"What?!" screamed Harry, "What have you done to my friends?"

"Oh, I haven't done anything to them nor will I if you kill me, but I can't say much for my followers. Lucius bring them here." Lucius came out of the shadows with two other people. The other wizards with Lucius were not who Harry had thought they were. Instead, they were Draco and Hermione.

"Harry, kill him don't worry about us!" screamed Hermione.

"Hermione's right Harry you have to kill him, even if we do die!" Draco screamed as well.

"Shut up both of you!" yelled Voldemort. "Harry, its your choice me or your friends? Of course who knows what my followers would do to you as well. Tough choice is it not. Maybe I should give you time to think about it."

Harry sat bolt right up in bed with a terrible headache near his scar. He searched around the room to see that everyone was still asleep. Harry looked at his clock to find that it was only five in the morning, he decided that he would never be able to fall asleep again that morning to he decided to go take a shower and head to breakfast early.

Harry spent the entire time in the shower thinking about the dream. It was unexplainable to him why he dreamt that Malfoy was close to him instead of Ron. Ron and Hermione meant the world to him while he and Malfoy were archenemies. Just while he was thinking about this, the door opened and in came Neville and Seamus. Harry quickly dried off and left the shower room.

On his way to breakfast, he ran smack into Malfoy.

"Watch where you are going Potter, you might run into the wrong person one of these days," sneered Malfoy as he walked away. Harry just shook his head and continued on his way to breakfast.

Once he got to the great hall he noticed it was still a bit early and hardly any students were up yet. He spotted Ron and Hermione sitting at the Gryffindor table. Harry walked over to them and sat next to Hermione so that she was in between him and Ron. No one mentioned his or her dreams through out breakfast.

Their first class for the day was potions with the Slytherins. No one was quite happy about this situation. Harry Hermione and Ron went down to potions chatting happily the whole way. Their conversation about the Hogsmeade trip this weekend had stopped abruptly once they reached the classroom. Malfoy Crabbe and Goyle were waiting outside of the classroom. Slowly Draco approached them.

"Well if it isn't the 'Dream Team'?" he sneered.

"Get out of our way Malfoy," said Harry very calmly.

"Why should I do that, I'm perfectly comfortable. Crabbe, Goyle aren't you comfortable?' Crabbe and Goyle both nodded their heads and stepped up onto each side of Malfoy. Ron started moving menacingly towards the three Slytherins.

"If you don't move out of the way," Ron snarled. "You'll have to deal with me!"

"Oh, but we wouldn't want to deal with the dreaded Dream Team now would we? No of course not they destroy all evil we should start considering you three super heroes, and I have the perfect names for you to, Harry already has his name...The Boy Who Lived, now Weasley could be The Amazing Muggle Lover, and of course lets not forget Granger...The Mudblood Wonder!" Just then, Ron jumped on to Malfoy repeatedly punching him in the face. Crabbe and Goyle just started and Ron and Malfoy stupidly. Harry and Hermione grabbed Ron by the arms and held him back.

"YOU SLIMEY GIT!" Ron yelled. "YOU ARE NOT BLOODY WORTH A CENT!"

"Oh I beg to differ Weasley," Malfoy stated matter-of-factly. "I am worth many cents, probably more than you'll entire family will make in a lifetime." With that being said Malfoy and his cronies walked into the Potions classroom.

"Ron, you can't let him get to you like that," said Hermione calmly.

"How can you say that Herms?" asked Ron. "He calls you horrid names and is constantly insulting us."

"Hermione, is right Ron," it was Harry's turn to speak, "We rally can't let Malfoy get under our skin. If he does it will just end up getting us into trouble, now come one lets get to potions or we'll be late." They walked into the classroom and took their seats.

The potion they were forced to make was a potion of invisibility. Ron thought they did not need to be included in this considering Harry already could become invisible whenever the situation called for it. However, Snape did not take this in consideration when he taught the class.

Hermione had been paired with Pansy Parkinson, Ron with Crabbe, and lastly Harry with Draco. Harry was actually interested in having Malfoy as a partner it would give him a chance to get an idea of what his dream that night had meant. In spite of Harry's hopes for an answer, he was given nothing. Instead, he was forced to make the potion himself while Malfoy made rude comments about his jet-black hair.

Later that night, after classes, dinner, and after everyone had gone up to bed, Harry sat there on the common room sofa thinking what last night's dream meant. He was so lost in thought he did not notice someone coming up behind him, or sitting on the sofa with him. He was turning to go up to bed when he became aware of Hermione sitting next to him looking into the flames as he just recently was.

"Is something wrong Hermione?" asked facing her.

She did not turn to face him but blankly said, "Couldn't sleep."

"Oh, Yeah same here but I really should go up to at least try, I'll see you in the morning Herms. Good Night." He kissed her cheek and headed towards the dorm room stair when he heard her call "Harry wait!"
