Chapter 11: Reunited
"How are we going to get her?" the Death Eater snarled.
"I have a plan, do not worry," hissed Voldemort.
"Well what is your plan then?"
"Don't you back chat me man," he hissed back at the masked death eater.
"Sorry sir," he answered quickly.
"You can make it up to me later, perhaps you can polish my wand. Onto the plan, to get this girl we are going to need to do something un-expected, something she or Potter will not be expecting, something that will make the death worse than ever." Voldemort turned his head to a man who was bound to a chair by rope; he had a cloak over his head. Voldemort walked over to him and whipped off the cloak to reveal Percy Weasley.
"What do you want with me?" asked the redhead nervously.
Voldemort smirked a little. "All we want from you Weasley is a favour."
"What sort of a favour?" he snapped.
"The sort of favour that will give you that power that you have been so desperately seeking for all these years. And all I ask from you is one little favour and I will give you that power that you so badly want." Voldemort gave him a sly smile while Percy eyed him suspiciously.

Harry sat in the library with his head in a transfiguration book; he had to learn how to turn a quill into a toad. He was about to try the spell when Ron tapped him on the shoulder. He looked round in surprise to see Ron half smiling. "Harry…could I talk to you for a minute?" he asked.
Harry frowned slightly in suspicion of what Ron wanted to talk about. "Sure…I guess," he answered. "But not here…this is a library after all." Ron nodded and they made their way up to the common room, which was empty. Ron sat down opposite Harry. Ron suddenly became interested in his hands.
"Harry, look, I'm sorry about the last few weeks. When I saw you and Hermione…you know, I just felt really hurt after what Hermione had told me. I felt like once again I had lost out to you, but I understand that you and Hermione love each other, and I will try my best from now on to deal with it. Besides, there are other fish in the sea."
Harry laughed lightly. "Thanks Ron, that means a lot. Just so you know, Hermione and me aren't even sure what our relationship is yet, I told her that I love her, but she still isn't sure. You should also know that Hermione has been killing herself trying to think of someone to fix you up with."
Ron chuckled. "You can always count on Hermione to try and sort things."
"Yes you can," said Hermione as she strutted in from the portrait hole. The two boys were startled to see her.
"Hermione, how long have you been there?" Harry asked.
"Long enough to hear your soppy make up," she said shakily with a smile on her face. Tears then started to fall from her eyes as she ran up and hugged them both tightly.
"By the way Hermione, there is something I was supposed to tell you." Harry said. "Lupin wants you to live with him this summer, he has loads of space."
Hermione beamed up at him. "Really? Oh this is great news, I'll have to thank him…and of course accept." Harry and Ron returned her smile, as the famous trio were re-united.
Authors Note : I know this chapter wasn't as long, but it sets up the next chapter quite well. Please review or I might not update, as I am starting to lose momentum.
