Revenge

Chapter 23: Discoveries

Hermione woke up the next morning to sunlight in her face, she realized that she had slept in the same bed as Harry the night before, she turned around and saw how young Harry looked, there were no worried lines or stressed lines like he normally had during the day, he looked so peaceful and relaxed. She wished that Harry could have that everyday but knew that it was impossible because he had the weight of two worlds on his shoulders, the muggle and the Wizarding world along with the stress of keeping the people he loves safe and trying to find out what will Voldemort do and who is the new guy on the scene. Hermione brushed back a few strands of hair out of Harry’s eyes as she sighed. So much trouble for someone as young as him, she couldn’t really remember a time when he was ever a child, sure he and Ron had their share of fun but through everything he’s been through, his parents dying, being abused by his aunt and uncle, having to defeat Voldemort and protect everyone, he had to grow up far to quick and she hated that but knew there was nothing she could do about it.

Harry stirred lightly when he felt someone brushing his hair from his forehead and purred lightly when he recognized the touch; he nuzzled his head into her hand, which caused Hermione to giggle lightly.

He was like a big pussy cat, she knew that all the girls fancied him like mad because of his fame along with his bad boy look, he gave off a vibe and had a reputation of being a bad boy because of everything he’s been through the last few years yet she knew that he was a big softy yet sometimes he let that ‘bad boy’ image show through, it was a rare moment when he did but she loved it when it showed through.

Harry, slowly, opened his eyes to see Hermione locked in a deep thought and sighed while he watched her.

He loved her so much, she was amazing, most people thought she was too serious or too boring but Harry knew that she was funny, amazing, she was only serious when it comes to Harry’s and Ron’s life in danger or for exams, she was never boring, these people never got to know her, they never made the time to get to know her and it made him furious sometimes that people were too blind to see how amazing she was.

“Take a picture, it last longer.” Hermione teased as she turned to Harry, who smiled and kissed her lightly on the lips. “Mm, we need to get up soon, breakfast in ready in 30 mins and I’m not going to be late.” Hermione whispered against his lips as she kissed him once more then stood up to head toward the bathroom that connected the two rooms together.

Harry just sighed happily as he watched her walk off, he turned onto his stomach to bury his face into the pillow that she just vacated.

    Everyone was sitting in the great hall; Professor Dumbledore stood up, and was about to make a speech when all of a sudden the doors crashed open. Everyone looked toward it and started screaming apart from three students and a Headmaster.

There stood Fluffy the three-headed dog.

“FLUFFY?” Hermione asked in a shock.

“What is he doing out?” Harry asked

“He’s still here?” Ron demanded, all three of them asked at the same time. Ron was busy piling up his plate so that Fluffy couldn’t get the food that was on the table; everyone was down at the far end of the table where the professors were sitting.

“How on earth did he get out?” McGonagall asked in a shock and Snape shrugged.

“The door was locked, there was no way he could get out.” Snape explained, Hermione got up and hurried over to Fluffy who snarled at her.

“Who do you think you are growling at?” Hermione asked with her hands on her hips, which caused Harry and Ron to choke back a laugh. “Jut calm down.” Hermione soothed but the dog wasn’t listening.

“Just play him a bit of music and he’ll go right to sleep.” Hagrid voice swam in her mind from her first year and she rolled her eyes in a panic.

“Figures.” Hermione whispered then closed her eyes as she cleared her throat then sighed.

#I know you think that I shouldn’t still love you or tell you that

But if I didn’t say it well I’d still have felt it, where the sense in that

I promise I’m not trying to make your life harder or return to where we were but

I will go down with this ship and I won’t put my hands up in surrender

There will be no white flag above my door, I’m in love and always will be# Hermione sang and the dog’s eyes began to droop as he dropped to his stomach while his head laid down, Hermione sat crossed legged from them and petted their heads as she continued to sing.

#I know I left too much mess and destruction to come back again

And I caused nothing but trouble, I understand if you can’t talk to me again

And if you live by the rules of it’s over then I’m sure that makes sense but

I will go down with this ship and I won’t put my hands in surrender

There’ll be no white flag above my door, I’m in love and always will be#

“Albus, it’s her, she’s the one who can control the animals!” McGonagall gasped and Dumbledore nodded as he watched his student work her magic on the dog.

#And when we meet, which I’m sure we will

And that was there, will be there still

I’ll let it pass, and hold my tongue

And you will think, that I’ve moved on

I will go down with this ship and I won’t put my hands up in surrender

There will be no white flag above my door, I’m in love and always will be# Hermione finished sweetly, the dog growled softly as he laid his heads on his paws and whined at her. Hermione smiled at them and kissed their forehead gently.

“Night, night.” Hermione whispered as the dog drifted off to sleep. Harry came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into his body.

“I told you that you make them relaxed.” Harry teased into Hermione’s ear and she giggled.

“I guess you were right.” Hermione said and Harry smiled as he turned her around to face him.

“Is Hermione Jane Granger finally admitting that she was wrong?” Harry teased and Hermione rolled her eyes as she kissed Harry, finally shutting him up.

“Miss Granger, Mr. Potter, please come up to my room after dinner with Mr. Weasley please.” Dumbledore said and looked at them with amusement in his eyes. “I would tell Mr. Weasley himself but I gather he is too busy eating.” He explained, both, Harry and Hermione look around him and saw that Ron was stuffing his face with the food and Harry smirked.

“Yep, never interrupt Ron when he is eating and never interrupt Mione when she is studying, not if you want to live.” Harry teased and Hermione lightly slapped him up the head.

“And never interrupt Harry when he is facing Voldemort or Quidditch.” Hermione answered back in a sweet tone but Harry knew better.

    “Please sit down.” Dumbledore greeted as he motioned to the seats in front of his desk. Harry and Hermione had managed to drag Ron away from the food, not that he was happy about it and he continually told Harry and Hermione off for taking him away from the most important meal of the day

 Which caused Harry to laugh and Hermione to scoff.

“Every meal is important with you.” Hermione scolded him off which sent the two of the bickering and Harry rolling his eyes with a huge smiled, how much he missed the two of the arguing with each other.

“Why are we here?” Ron asked.

“Because what I’m about to tell you just put Miss Granger in more danger.” Dumbledore explained, which caused confused looks from the others. “Miss Granger, you are the only one who was able to calm Fluffy which furthers my belief that you can control animals.” He explained.

“Wow!” Ron exclaimed and Dumbledore nodded.

“Yes wow, but do you have any idea how many people would love to get their hands on Hermione, now that she can control animals, for her to be in the wrong hands can place the world in great jeopardy.” Dumbledore stressed.

“How come?” Harry asked.

“Harry, think about it, if people knew that she could control animals, they may put her under the controlling spell and use her to control the animals to their own use.” Dumbledore explained and Hermione sighed.

“Why now? Why didn’t know about this earlier?” Hermione asked.

“Because you had no reason to control any of the animals, today was the only time you did, you wanted Fluffy to calm down so you willed him to do that.” Harry guessed and Dumbledore nodded.

“Yes that’s right but I’m afraid I have bad news.” He stated and everyone looked at him, wondering what has happened now.
