Love And Drama In 7th Year

Hermione woke up, her hair ratty and disheveled, gasping through a dry throat.

"Where am I?" she wondered, looking around the corridors in which she had slept in. She turned her head, and saw Harry Potter lying next to her. His bare chest was rising up and down, clothes on the floor.

"Oh, yeah..." Hermione remembered the previous night.

Thinking about it she blushed. It had been an amazing night and she couldn't of been happier. Even though Voldemort was somewhere around, she was so happy that she was practically glowing.

"Wake up, Harry," Hermione whispered while shaking Harry lightly. He woke up, looked at her, and smiled.

Entering the Great Hall together, each didn't realize that something was terribly wrong.

"Harry, Hermione, Virginia, would you please come here? I need to speak to you," said the headmaster.

The three of them walked up to the table, then followed Dumbledore into the room that only Harry had been in when after his name got pulled out of the Goblet of Fire.

Dumbledore opened his mouth, and Harry regretted the words that came out. "It is my deepest sorrow to report that Ronald Weasley has been put under the Magnetifuice curse."

The three stared at Dumbledore, very confused, for none of them had heard of such a curse.

"Voldemort somehow found his way to the Gryffindor common room through the paintings, and went up to the seventh year boys dormitories. Apparently he was trying to find Harry. He went over to Ronald's bed, and knew it was him right away. Instead of killing him, he put the Magnetifuice curse on him. It is probably one of the worst curses beside the three deadly ones. This curse will make Ron a little more worse then being petrified for he can not hear anyone. He will not wake up unless the wand that performed the curse gets broken, and then the curse will be lifted."

When Dumbledore finished his little speech, he looked down at them. Ginny had silent tears pouring down her face, while Hermione and Harry just stared at Dumbledore, too shocked to do anything else. Dumbledore excused the three of them from all classes for the rest of the day. Ginny went to her dorm wanting to be alone, while Harry and Hermione went into Harry's.

For a few minutes, they just sat and stared each other, thinking about something truly awful, and letting the shock sink in. Hermione looked up and saw Harry open his mouth, close it, and then open it again.

"You know what I have do now... I have to find Voldemort and break that wand!" he said, voice quivering, eyes flashing braveness.

"Oh, Harry that is too dangerous. Can't you let the Auros do that? Surely by now Dumbledore has contacted them, and wouldn't it be best if we stayed here with Ron?" Hermione begged him.

"Hermione, do you still not get it? Voldemort is in this castle right now. It's as unsafe for me to try to go find him here, as to staying put and letting him hurt the ones I love?"

Hermione a little shocked by this sudden outburst, and she just stared at Harry for she knew he was right. It was all a matter of time before Voldemort really did find Harry.

He got up and went to his trunk. He opened it and lifted out his invisibility cloak.

"You know I have to do this, Hermione," he said, and he walked over to her, and gave her a tender kiss before putting the cloak on.

Hermione watched in horror as her love was walking into danger.

"Be careful, Harry," Hermione whispered before she flung herself on his bed crying.
