A/N: Sorry for the long wait, but with school and everything getting in the way, so I hope you enjoy this chapter, and thanks everyone for the reviews! By the way, this is kind of AU, so now that I have told you guys, please stop telling me about the canon stuff and everything, and please don't take any offence in this, I just don't really want reviews like that. Sorry if I sound mean or rude or anything, it's just that I am really stressed out with finals and tests coming up.
Chapter 4 - The scene when the Burrow was on fire.
This year, Ron, Ginny, Harry, and Hermione were staying at the burrow for Christmas break.
Currently, some of the order members were there in the living room discussing the whereabouts of Voldemort, and Harry kept insisting that they shouldn't trust Snape.
"I know that you don't like Snape Harry, neither do I, but Dumbledore has his reasons for trusting him, and I think that we should at least have trust in one of the greatest wizards of all times judgment," explained Remus Lupin.
"I do trust Dumbledore, but people do make mistakes and what if this is a mistake that Professor Dumbledore is making?" asked Harry," If only you would let me-"
"That is enough Harry." Remus said in loud, firm voice," I do not want you follow him around, and put yourself in more danger. Is that clear?"
Harry only nodded.
"Alright, now I'm glad we have an understanding," said Remus and he got up and left, followed by the other Order members who were also in the room.
Hermione came in a few moments after they left, carrying a dish of pastries.
"Do you want to try some?" asked Hermione," I made them myself."
When Harry seemed a bit hesitant, Hermione said," Don't worry I didn't poison it or anything," and she took one and fed some to Harry herself.
"See? There's nothing to be afraid of," said Hermione.
Harry smiled at Hermione, and she returned his smile. They were moving closer to each other by the second, when…
Ron suddenly walked in holding a try full of mince pies, and sat down right in the middle of Harry and Hermione on the couch obvious as to what was about to happen between his two best friends, and turned over to Harry and asked," Want some pie?"
"Oh… um no, I'm fine, thanks mate" said Harry quietly and awkwardly.
After Harry declined, Ron turned over to Hermione, and gestured at the pies he was holding.
"No, I'm fine too Ron," said Hermione as quietly and awkwardly as Harry did.
Harry was sitting staring out of the window at the night sky in the Burrow, when Hermione walked up the stairs after taking a shower in the downstairs bathroom.
"Shoes untie," said Hermione as Harry was getting up from the window seat.
"What?" Harry asked without really thinking, considering that the love of his life was standing there in nothing but her bathrobe, and her hair was still wet from her shower, was giving him a really hard time of thinking.
"Your shoes untie," Hermione said again, and she bent down and tied Harry's shoes for him.
Hermione got back up and found out that her and Harry was standing really close to each other.
"Merry Christmas Harry," whispered Hermione.
"Merry Christmas," Harry whispered back as his and Hermione's faces were inching closer and closer to each other, but suddenly outside bright orange flames flung up, and Harry was soon running down the stairs, and out the door, when he saw Bellatrix Lestrange, the murderer of his godfather, Sirius Black. Harry was soon out the door despite the adults' protests.
Hermione seeing what Harry was doing followed him out the door only a few moments after. Remus and Tonks were trying to get past the big flames surrounding the Burrow, when Hermione just ran through an opening not thinking about her safety, but more on getting to Harry as fast as she could.
Harry currently was chasing after the notorious Bellatrix Lestrange through the fields of tall grass, with Bellatrix taunting him by yelling out in her high pitch voice in a sing-song tone," I killed Sirius Black, I killed Sirius Black!" After a bit, it became deathly quiet, and Harry stopped running to listen to see if he can hear Bellatrix' footsteps, so he can locate at where she was. Suddenly he heard deep breathing nearby, and saw in the distance that is was Hermione.
Hermione was running through the tall grass looking for Harry when she suddenly stopped, after having a feeling that someone was following her. Then out came a deatheater (I know it was someone else in the movie but I don't know his name). Hermione took out her wand to attack the Deatheater but before she knew it, her wand came flying out of her hand. The Deatheater was about to send a curse at her when Harry came out from behind her and defended her. The Deatheater soon apparated away, and Harry and Hermione were looking around them for the two Deatheaters.
Remus' voice was heard calling for Harry, and Bellatrix and the other Deatheater saw it's chance to attack since the two teens were distracted if only for a little bit. As soon as the spells were fired, Harry and Hermione's shield's were up. Not too soon, Mr. Weasley, Remus, and Tonks were with them, and the Deatheaters were gone. Mr. Weasley then heard Mrs. Weasley cry, and was running back to the Burrow, and the others were right behind him. When they were back, the sight that met them shocked them. The Burrow had flames engulfing it, and smoke was everywhere. Hermione buried her head in Harry's chest, and he wrapped his arms protectively around her. Right then and there, Harry made a silent vow, promising to defeat Voldemort, and to protect all of his loved ones, making sure that they stayed alive, even if it meant that he would have to risk his own.
