( i wrote this story on another forum and i thought i'l post it here )

Prologue

A shiny red ruby lay shattered in the sand. Broken in thousands of peaces each glistering and sparkling in the sun light. The wind picks up and the sand is blown Everywhere. The harsh grains blow and  picks up the peaces and  they travel with the wind. You see specs of red as they blow away. Like how  pollen is swept away to make new flowers in different places. Each peace is scattered around waiting to be found as they lay in the sand slowly being  sucked in as  the sand washes over it. The peaces fall deeper with every puff the wind blew.

Before this happened there was a battle as there always is good verses  evil. The stone was rich in colour and very powerful. It belonged to a demon. She was quit pretty for a creature of the darkness. She had long flaming red hair and  Dark black soulless eyes. Her skin was a bluish colour. It looked cold to the  touch. Around her body except her face where red scales. Scattered around  in groups.  her hands where thin and long . Her nails were pointy and black.

She stood there in her cloak. Holding  the stone  in her hands it glowed red. The only source of light in the desert. She chanted as the earth shook. She kept chanting and was stopped as an arrow flew through  the air and landed in her leg. It bled and she hissed. A man emerged holding a bow, he placed it down and grabbed  a sword. She continued to chant as  another arrow flew at her this time she caught it in mid air. She laugh. It was cold and high. She ran at him. She was very fast and was behind him before he had time to look around. She grabbed his neck and sniffed him and uttered these words.

"Stone protector."

They did not sound sweet but long and deadly. Yes the man was the protector of this stone. It was his destiny and everyone else who is in his family. His son lays a sleep  in his bed not knowing what is happening or what he will become. It was his duty to keep the stone away from this demon.
The demon took her nail and sliced his arm with it. Blood oozed out the man quickly slide out of her grasp and saw the stone still in her hand. He kicked at her hand and it fell to the floor. It did not brake, she scrabbled for it but she was to late his foot had all ready fell onto it just as her finger touched it. It smashed . The demon screamed as her body begin to turn in to a red smoke. It zoomed for the stones pieces. And went inside it.  The man choked on the deadly smoke. He collapsed on the floor and grasped  at his throat. He died just before he reached the stone.

Over time the stone was broken up even more. The pieces where passed around  the world and  Mysterious deaths happened  around them. Every 100 or so years she tries  to free her self using the powers of others and the stone but the protector was always there. Until one powerful witch get her hands on it.

Chapter 1- the necklace

Hermione was in her sixth year at Hogwarts and she still didn't't have a boyfriend. Everyone around her seem to be dating someone. She was waiting for Ron. She loved him but did he love her. She loved his hair and how he can make her smile. But some times he just didn't't say the things she wanted him to say. Instead he would say something that made them fight like a married couple and for some strange reason it was those times she loved him the most. She wanted to just jump at him and kiss him.

Get a grip Hermione that will never happen you haven't got the gut and he'll probably just sling you of and say what are you doing. She thought.

She crossed her arms and blew her hair out of her eyes angrily. She stood there in her dormitories getting ready to go to Hosgmeade. It was a bit cold so she pulled on a jumper over her jeans and t-shirt.
Hermione walks down the staircase .

"about time, we have been waiting down here for a hour ." Ron  said looking at her and then at  Harry

"well I was getting ready"

"it takes you that long" Harry piped in

" ow shut up"
Harry and Ron began to laugh. They triad to hide it but Hermione saw and gave them a dirty look and they bought stopped.

"lets go then" Harry sad braking the silence.  They then made there way out of the castle to the grounds. Behind Hermione Ron was smiling at her.

***
They arrived in Hosgmeade a little later. Hermione needed  to buy so many things  she babbled on for ages about it.

" I  need more ink and that new book magic and its locations it sounds exiting and interesting. I need some more cloths and "

"Hermione hold your horses"  Ron said looking at Harry who was nodding at what Hermione said

"what" she said

"its just  that.. Your putting me and Harry to sleep" Ron said

Hermione looked at him with  anger.

" if I bore you so much then you two can just bugger of" she shouted but mostly at Ron. She turned and  walked away.

"Hermione" Ron yelled after her but she did not care or look back.

"hey I didn't't say it " Harry said  to  Hermione who was  walking away.

****

Hermione looked around the streets  and went in many shops. As she past the Hogshead  she saw a shop that she  had never seen  before it looked old and dusty. Bits of  brick were chipping of and the glass windows looked a dirty grey as if it had never been washed. Hermione looked up at the sign which had some letters missing. But she could make out it said precious stones it was a jewellery shop. She didn't't have much jewellery she would rather spend her money on a book. But she did like looking at it even thou she didn't't buy anything. What harm will it do if I look Hermione thought. She entered the shop.
It was very dusty and dark . There where wooden shelves everywhere with a particular type of jewellery  on it. She crossover to a shelf with necklaces. As she walked she left foot prints in the dust that laid on the floor and rug. All of the  necklaces had  dust on  to except one. It was a shiny red ruby. It was as big as a silver sickle it hang  on a silver  snake chain. She picked it up it was so pretty. She then heard  a croaky old women's voice coming from some where in the dark room. 

"see anything you like" Hermione jumped and turned around a old women sat in a chair she looked very creepy. She had long  white hair. Very frieze. She wearied a hand knitted jumper.

"no" Hermione said a little scared.

"are you sure" the women said leaning forward a little.

Hermione looked at the necklace it was so pretty she wanted it but as she looked at the price tag it was way to expansive. But she wanted it.

"having trouble my dear. Is it to much. You look like a nice girl you can have it half price"

"thank you"

She left the shop with the necklace around her neck. But what she did not notice is that it glowed red for one second then  glowed no more.

Chapter 2 bad luck and wishes

Hermione loved her new necklace it was so pretty. She made up with Ron only because he said sorry which was really unlike him. she sat in class with Ron and Harry. They weren't't doing there work instead they played cards behind a book . Hermione looked at them and frowned. She hated when they did this. You'll think they would act responsible now that  were doing are N.E.W.TS ,but no they acted the same way. Not paying any attention to the class Hermione thought. She then carried on reading and then looked up at the clock. The lesson was nearly finish. She looked at her parchment and jotted down another point. The bell then rang and they left.

They walked out and into a corridor.

"Hermione"

"yes Ron " Hermione said.

Any minute now he is going to ask if he can copy my notes. He always does this at least Harry doesn't't ask. But Ron does and this time I wont give in no. Hermione thought

"can I copy your notes"

Hermione looked at him with pure anger.

Harry saw this a new he better go.

" your in for it now buddy why did you have to ask. I'll meet you two next period that's if your still speaking" he laughed.

"shut up Harry" Hermione snapped .

Harry  then walked of. Hermione watched him leave and then turned her attention on Ron.

"so can I"

She became even more angry.

" you wanna now if you can copy my work Ron .(he nodded) NO WAY. YOU (she poked him in the chest) WERE TO BUSY PLAY A SILLY LITTLE GAME THEN DO YOUR WORK IT IS NOT MY PROBLEM" Hermione shouted.

" why not"

she stared at him .

"DID YOU NOT HEAR WHAT I JUST SAID OR ARE YOU THAT DUMB"

Hermione and Ron were in a blazing fight. Ron face began to get red as her screwed  it up in anger.

"I AM NOT DUMB AND THE NEXT TIME YOU NEED ANY HELP DON'T COME TO ME FOR IT"

"WHEN WOULD I EVER NEED YOUR HELP RONALD"

"DON'T CALL ME THAT"

By now no one was in the corridor except them. Hermione looked at Ron who looked really angry. She started to think about kissing Ron and having his arms around her.

she closed her eyes .
I wish  Ron would kiss me right now .

Under her school jumper her necklace glowed Red.

The next thing she felt was Ron's lips on hers and his hands on her waist.
she placed her hands around his neck.

I cant believe it I'm kissing Ron. They stood there kissing until Ron parted. She opened her eyes and smiled. But Ron Wasn't't .

"I'm sorry"  with out another word he rushed of leaving  Hermione standing bye her self.

Close by a girl was coming out of the toilets and slipped on the floor and twist her ankle at the precise moment Hermione made her wish.

Chapter 3 - a friend in need 

Hermione stood in the corridor. Tears began to fall down her cheeks as she slowly walked to the girls toilets.
She sat in a cubical and cried and  stayed in there all lesson.  She didn't even  go to the great hall for dinner. Hermione  didn't  fill hungry  how could she after what happend so instead she walked around the grounds thinking.

Why did he just go. He said sorry like it was a bad thing , like kissing me felt bad. Hermione pulled her coat closer to her body the only source of warmth she had left. She then  heard foot steps comimg from behind her.

That better not be Ron she thought angrily. But it wasn't instead it was Harry who was  running up to her.

"why weren't you at dinner or class . Me and Ron were worried" Harry said.

Yeah right like Ron was worried about me after what he did. Fresh tears fell down her cheeks. She  now had her back to Harry so he would not see her crying.

"if Ron was so worried about me why isn't he with you"

"he said he didn't feel that well" Harry put a hand on her shoulder and turned her around  and that was when Harry saw  the tears falling down her face.

"what's wrong Hermione"

"nothing I'm fine"

" Hermione I know you, you don't block everyone out because your fine."

"its just that.." she took a deep breath and a few whimpers escaped.

"Ron kissed me and then he ran away "

"O" was the only sound that came from Harrys lips.

" he hates me. He must think I'm a bossy little know it all. That's why he ran. He's ashamed of kissing  Hermione Granger. I hate him. Who am I kidding I love Him"

Harry was ashamed  how little he knew of what his friend was feeling. He knew he would have to talk to Ron later. He must have a good reason for doing what he did.

Hermione hen flung her arms around Harry and sobbed onto his shoulder Harry stroked  her hair trying to stop-her crying..

"he doesn't hate  you "
She lifted her head up  a bit and looks at him "how do you  know"

"I just do I've seen the way he looks at you . Think about how jealous he was when you were dating Krum, he loves you I know he dose. Come on cheer up I cant stand it when you cry you make me want to  cry and that isn't a pretty sight "

Hermione laughed a little and smiled.

"see come on lets get in side before we freeze to death."

Hermione let go of Harry and kissed him on the cheek.

"thanks Harry"

"what are friends for"

They walked of  towards the castle together.

Chapter 4  getting possessive

The next day Hermione was laying  half a sleep in her bed. She heard her room mates shuffling about and from the corner of her half closed eyes she saw a  hand grab each arm. The next moment she felt her body be shook lightly back and forth.

"Hermione if you don't wake up You'll be late for class" Lavender said.  Hermione turned over and stared up at her. She was fully dress and smiling broadly. Lavender eyed the necklace that laid around her neck and  bent down to look at it. Hermione felt a primal  urge to scratch  her . Hermione's hands instantly flew up to Lavenders wrist . She held onto it with a killer grip.

"don't " Hermione said angrily it was almost a growl. She didn't want Lavender to touch her necklace, actually she didn't want anyone to touch it. It was her good luck charm. It helped her with everything. It was hers. Lavender pulled her wrist out of Hermione's grip with one strong  yank.
She rubbed her wrist which was a little red.

"what's your problem I was only trying to help. I don't want that stupid necklaces I have far better ones. .Wait till everyone's hears how nuts you've gone." with that she stormed out of the room.

Hermione quickly rushed to the bathroom and shut the door. She didn't know why she did that. She  looked at her necklace it was glowing.

I wish  Ron would tell me how he feels Hermione thought and again it glowed red. Outside one of the girls took a sweet and begin to eat it. The girl began to cough and gag she was choking. The other girls started to yell she's choking. Hermione rushed out from the bathroom and quickly ran to the girl and put her arms around the girls body and started to  do the Heimlich remover. The girls sweet flew out of her mouth and landed on the floor. The girl took in deep sharp breaths.

"thanks...... Hermione" the girl said

Everyone started to cheer and say that it was lucky  that you where here. But for some Reason Hermione didn't feel like the hero.

****
Hermione took a deep breath and walked into the great hall for breakfast. This was the first time she saw Ron since yesterday. She still felt sad.

Maybe he will explain why he ran Hermione thought

She sat down next to Harry  and across from Ron.

"Hermione can I talk to you in private" Ron asked slowly to make sure Hermione wasn't still angry at him.

" no" she said flat and toneless.

"please" he begged

Hermione looked up and saw Ron's face it looked sad and confused .

"okay, Then" Hermione got up so did Ron and they both walked to an empty class room.

Ron paced the room.

"I'm sorry about yesterday, It will never happen again but I do need to tell you how I feel. Hermione I think your beautiful. Your caring and smart.  Well what I'm trying to say is I love you. I don't care if you  don't feel the same, I just wanted to tell you and hope I'm doing it for the best."

Hermione eyes started to water. She loved Ron and he loved her, She then felt angry.

"If you loved me why did you leave me." Hermione shouted.

" because I was scared"

"I thought you hated me" Hermione started to cry. Ron walked over to her and wrapped he's long arms around her. He   kissed her head . Hermione could smell Ron  and she thought he smelt lovely.

" I could never hate you" he stroked her hair.

" I love you Ron  and I always will"

They then kissed this time Ron didn't run away

Chapter 5 -bad girl and Kenka

Everything was as it should be for Hermione . She was in love with Ron and was doing even better at school.  She sat in the library by her self doing her home work. Her necklace still hung around her neck. She began to fiddle with it  as she sucked on her Quill thinking. She heard foot steps come up behind her. It was Ginny she sat down across from her.

"what you working on" Ginny asked .

"My work what else could I possible doing sometimes you can be so dumb" Hermione said annoyed  that Ginny was stopping her doing from doing it.

"jeese don't bite my head of I was only asking " Ginny said  this was very unlike Hermione.

"if you don't want me to tell you what I think then don't ask , is that all" Hermione said raising her voice a little. Madam Pince placed a finger to her lip telling her to lower her voice. Hermione ignored her and scowled at Ginny she didn't know why she was being so mean. Ginny was doing nothing to her. Hermione just felt annoyed with her.

"what wrong ?" Ginny asked  she knew something was up .

"nothing! Ginny cant you keep your big noise out of other people business" Hermione  said it felt good to say those things but she new she shouldn't. she felt bad and she like it. Hermione got up  and left Ginny sitting there looking confused. When she got out of there she was smiling. But then her thought came into action .

Why did you do that you knew you where just being cruel ?
She deserved she told her self
Did she?
No but it felt good.
Ginny's your friend. If you keep treating  her and everyone else  like this then you wont have any left.
I guess so I better say sorry.

Hermione started to feel guilty so she ran back into the library to say sorry but Ginny wasn't there.

Now look what you've done she thought
I'll say sorry later give  her time. She's probably well  angry with me.

She walked back to the common room. Hoping she might see Ginny instead she saw Ron  walking up to her. She smiled.

"hey" he said and kissed her on the cheek. He looked a little twitchy.
" can you do me a favour. Can I copy your homework"

Not again I know he's my  boyfriends but he's not copying no way . He needs to learn to do it by his self .

"no" she glared at him meanly her eyes darken  for seconded, they no longer the bright chocolate brown but a  dark black, as soon as Ron noticed they changed back.

Ron looked at her and he knew this wasn't the normal Hermione. Something was different. To him she looked more scary normally he's not scared of her but now he was and he didn't no why.

All he could say was okay.

***
The more she used the stone the more horrible and mean Hermione got. No one knew why they had never expected that it was the stone and they never realised what power it had or darkness and evil that was imprisoned in it . No one would of seen what was coming next excepted for one person he knew what the stone held and what it was made to do. Everyone of his family spent there lives to stop what was happening. They travailed the world searching for the peaces of the stone. They wanted to find it before the demon did but now there time was running out . The demon has been awaken and it is  growing stronger.

Kenka the protector of the stone walked through the desert searching  for any other peaces  of the stone that has yet been found. He thought about his dad who died some years ago. He had cancer and on his death bed he told him the story about are family  and about the demon he was only 14 at the time. Kenka prayed that what he's dad  was telling him wasn't true as he knew that if It was he would die if  the demon was ever freed. It began with dreams of the stone and then of the story. Two years later after his training he knew how to control this dreams to see the things he wanted . Once Kenka learned this he set of to collect the other peaces  of the stone that his family did not have.

He knew nothing of magic nor of Hogwarts at the time. But he soon did. The dreams started up again now 17. He was less afraid. He awoke from his last dream in sweats. He saw a girl with bushy brown hair with a necklace. Her eyes were no longer human but black as  the sky. her skin had a bluish tint with red scales her hair had streaks of red in it . She griped a big red stone in her hands it glowed red so bright it would blind anyone as she did so the earth collapsed  in on its self. This was not his first dream about this girl he had others about her  life and about this school of magic. It interested him. Kenka bended on his knees and dug with his  hands into the hot sand. Kenka had olive colour skin and long brown hair. His eyes were  hazel nut. As he dug  he felt something hard it was a peace of the stone. That was the last peace except for that necklace.

He now knew he had to travel to England to Hogwarts to help that girl and stop that demon.

nope not over just haven't had time to update but here is the new chap hope u enjoy



Chapter 6 pain

Hermione sat in the common room alone not many people wanted to spend much time with her you never knew when she would blow. Sometimes she was herself while other times it was like she didn't care. It was like a big chunk of her soul was missing the part that made her feel compassion for others,    So  instead she read.

She looked at the clock it was  almost time to go to the big game. Griffindor V Ravenclaw. Hermione got up and headed to the pitch . It was starting to get much warmer now so she didn't take a coat As she walked across the grounds she held her necklace tight rubbing it for good luck . She reached the stands and sat. Hermione  looked around and saw Ginny standing near the changing rooms. Ginny still wasn't talking to her. She said that she changed.

Me change never. She's speaking rubbish.

Her eyes flew to the pitch as she heard the raw of the crowd. The Gryffindor Quidditwich team came out she saw her boyfriend Ron and gave a tremendous yell and whistle.  She then saw Ginny and  Harry. She clapped. She did want Ginny as a friend back but she wasn't sure if Ginny did.

Madden hooch blew her whistle and the teams flew in the air. Immediately in the first half  Gryffindor manage to be up by 30.
Now it was the last 5 minutes. Hermione was on the edge of her seat Ron was tremendous. Ginny was doing really well as she beeted another bugler. She then saw Harry speeding  off   Hermione knew he must of seen the golden snitch.  He  speed-ed up as the Ravenclaw seeker had noticed that Harry had found the snitch and turned to go after it . Hermione sat there rubbing her necklace.

I wish Harry catches the snitch Hermione thought as she saw Harry dive. He reached out and caught it. 

"Gryffindor wins"

Every single Gryffindor  cheered but every one  stopped when they  heard a  girl scream. There on the grass laid the body of  Ginny Weasley and there was no signs of movement. Ron and Harry rushed to the ground and Hermione ran out of the stands to the pitch . She saw Ginny's broom lay broken in bits next to her. She looked at Ginny's head and noticed a bit of blood coming from it. She looked down at her necklace. She started to think maybe it did this. Bad things seem to happen every time she wished for something.

But good thing happen too this isn't my fought or the necklaces its only a stone. Hermione thought. But it didn't help she still felt guilty.

Hermione saw Ron check if she was breathing . But she wasn't. Ron looked like he had seen a ghost. Hermione started to cry. Her friend wasn't breathing .  She hadn't made up with her and now she never will. Hermione watched as Harry gave Ginny mouth to mouth while Ron triad to start her heart. Hermione stood there still she couldn't move. Then Harry shouted she's breathing . Hermione stopped crying  as Ron came over to her and hugged her.  Dumbledore came down and magiced  Ginny onto a stretcher  and it floated to the hospital wing.

***
Hermione, Harry and Ron waited by Ginny's side. To Hermione it felt like an eternity for Ginny to finally wake up. Hermione started to ramble when she knew her friend was fine.

" I thought you died. I'm so sorry. For everything. I've been mean to you for no reason I don't even know why. I shouldn't of.  I'm sorry"

"slow down Herms" Ginny said a little croaky.

Then all of a sudden everyone engulfed Ginny into a huge hug.

"cant breath" Ginny said and immediately  everyone let go.

" we thought you where dead Gin , you weren't breathing" Ron said still looking really worried.

"I'm okay and Herms I'm sorry I let a stupid argument nearly destroy are friendship"

" no don't it was all my fault"

Then madam Pontfray came in and ushered them out.

Harry stayed back.

" you gave me quite a scare, I thought I lost you." he then leaned down and kissed her fore head
Then left. Ginny felt extremely light headed but that could have been from the wound.

Chapter 7 possessed

Ginny was in the hospital wing  for a week. As soon as she was fit enough people asked her what happened and all she said was  that her broom snapped when flying and she fell. She didn't know why it happened it was a new broom. Everyone treated her like she was dieing for the first day even Hermione.

But Ginny told them don't fuss.

***
The next day  Hermione woke up with a bursting headache. She rubbed her temples as she dragged her self into the shower. Hermione was getting more headaches now. She turned on the shower and climbed in.

Five minutes later Hermione stepped out with a towel around her self.  She winced as her head gave another pound. She reached for her bag and got out some medicine she found muggle medicine for getting rid of headaches was much better then using magic to get rid of it. She popped the pills in her mouth and swallowed. Hermione heard thumping on the door.

" I'll be out in a minute" she yelled as she finished placing the pills back in the bag.  She Then opens the door and went  to get dress.

She looks at her watch  it was 9.15.

" oh no I'm gonna be late"  she rushed out  forgetting breakfast and went straight  to Potions .

She reached the dungeons and tried to sneak in side  quietly so she wouldn't be seen but as she stepped  in Snape turned snapping his  greasy head around as he heard the click of the door, A evil  smile  began to form under his large nose and his penetrating gaze never left her for one for one second.

"Granger your eighteen minutes late. Come outside with me"

Everyone looked. It was really serious. Snape never told them of outside. He did it in class to get on your nerves, to get you angry.

She looked at Ron and Harry pleading for help.

"now!!!"

She followed Snape out.  Inside you could hear  chairs scratching the floor as everyone turned there seats towards  the closed door, trying to  see what was happening.

"Never turn up to my lesson late. Do you hear me, why was you not here when lesson was suppose to start. Do you think your better then everyone else"

A rise of hot bubling anger began to take control of Hermione.

"no" she said in a bitter tone

" do not take that tone with me, I can get you  thrown off of this class. Then what will you do. One months detentions  and 50 points of Gryffindor no wait  make that 80 never come late again" Snape said as his lips resumed the evil smile he wore in the class room.

Hermione felt the  hot raw angry rise even more,she held her fist tight in her hands. Her body began to feel hot as if her skin had been consumed by a raging fire. Her vision blurred as if she was falling asleep. She closed her eyes for a seconded and  her necklace started to glow.

"what are you doing this isn't the time to take a little nap"

Hermione opened her eyes they were  no longer her usual colour , they were now black and empty. She walked up to Snape and grabbed his throat. Lifting him up of his feet as  She sniffed the air. 

"never talk to her like that again you pitfall human" her voice had changed slightly it was more flat and emotionless.

" you have no  use for me  you are not the Protector" she let go of him and he fell to the floor. Gasping for breath.

"no  I cant, not yet " she said as she fell to the floor. Eyes closed. Hermione opened her eyes. Brown again . She lay there not knowing what's going on. She looked to her right and saw Snape on the floor.

She gasped as she looked at his still body, where there were two sore  red hand marks around his neck. They looked like her own. But how. She couldn't remember. She pulled her self up and ran down the hall. Scared of what she may have done.

Ive done three chaps as i felt guilty Ive not posed for a while hope u like

Chapter 8- voices
Hermione ran as fast as she could down the hall never looking back . Tears flowed down her cheeks. She didn't stop till she reach the Gryffindor common room. She shouted the pass word angrily at the fat lady  for keeping her waiting here with an empty picture

"well sorry!" the fat lady sad sarcastically .

Hermione ran in and up the stairs to the girls dormitory's and fell onto her bed sobbing. She had hart a teacher and didn't even know that she had. She looked at her necklace angrily.

"It's your fought, everything was all right before I bought you , you peace of crap"

Then a voice came in her head. It wasn't hers. It sounded scary. Evil. All Hermione new was that she dint like it and that it wasn't meant to be there.

Hermione it called. Slowly. Nothing but a whisper.

If it wasn't for that necklace. You wouldn't have Ron. Now would you.

" it didn't do that"

Yeah right . You wished it and I granted it.

"only bad things came from that"

yes but didn't good things come from it to

" no shut up" .

Yes be angry you have right to be. That man deserved what he got he meant nothing., you know he got under your skin and I did what  you could not.

" leave me alone" Hermione screamed

I can not I have not done what I have set out to do.

"and what is that"

So little humans know. you will see soon enough

Hermione started to feel scared. Who was this person. Was she going mad. She looked down at her necklace it glowed. She had never done that before. She didn't want  this thing on anymore. She triad to pull it of.

NOOOOO

Hermione's body was pushed ageist the wall by  an inadvisable force. Hermione felt to hands rap around her neck , they were her own.

NEVER TAKE OF THAT NECKLACE  OR YOU WILL DIE.

Hermione nodded. She then heard a scream in her head. The voices was gone. She was now able to let go of her throat and breath. She fell to the ground crying even more. Something was Wrong and Hermione new it but she was to scared  now. She now knew she wasn't mad. She dint even dare to try and take of the necklace again.

Chapter 9 scales

Every where Hermione went, people starred at her. Afraid of her. Hermione her self was afraid .After a while she stopped going to her classes. She didn't go to dinner. Instead she sat by her self. In her dorm. Were she couldn't harm anyone. The only company she had was that voice. She couldn't tell Ron. He would think she was mad. Would he still love a freak like her.  She sat by the door curled up she heard knocking

"leave me alone" she said to who ever it  was outside.

"its Ginny. Were worried about you. You didn't go to your lessons or dinner. I brought you some food" Ginny said sweetly.

Hermione was hungry. But Ginny couldn't come in. she was dangerous.

"you cant come in. place the food under the door"

Ginny did so. She only wanted her friend to eat. If she didn't want to talk. That was fine with her.

"Hermione if something's  wrong you can tell me. I want you to know that" then Ginny left and went down stairs where Harry and Ron was.

Ron looked up at Ginny with concern in his eyes.

"she's not coming down" Ginny said hugging her brother.

"something wrong, I can tell" Ron said.  He parted from Ginny.

"Ginny she douse knows were here for her and we can help doesn't't she?" Harry said 

"that's the thing I don't think she want are help" Ginny said. She started to cry. Harry pulled her into a hug.

The next day

Hermione didn't sleep with the others anymore instead she slept in the bathroom. her room mates started to worry. They thought she was going mad. Hermione opened her eyes . It was very early . She wanted to leave Hogwarts before anyone woke up. The further away  from her friends the  less danger they would be in.

Do you really wanna leave and never see Ron again.

The voice was there again. She triad to ignore it, pretend it wasn't there. She got up from the floor and got into the shower. She got some shower gel and started to wash her body. She scrubbed her arms. They felt hot and sore. She looked at them and saw that her skin was coming of. Big clumps of it  she looked at her arms in shock . Something was wrong. They were blue. She looked closer and saw red scales.

Hermione screamed . Inside her head the voice was laughing. It was a high pitch cold laugh.
Hermione griped her head in pain and fell out of the shower and onto the floor. Her head hit the ground. And her eyes closed.

Kenka woke up. He could still hear the girls scream ringing in he's ears. He lifted his head up and looked out of the window . He sat on the train. Thinking was he to late. He  wished this train wasn't so dam slow. After his flight to England ,He had talked to a teacher that teaches at this place called Hogwarts.  He met her in this pub. A friend had told him that this was a famous spot where witch's and wizards liked to hang out. At first she didn't want to talk to him. But he convinced her. He told her about his dreams about the school and told her about the girl. She had said she was in her house. She  told him to catch this train at platform 9 and 1/3, he thought there was no such thing. But he was wrong. Now he sat  on the  train waiting. Waiting for  it to go to the school were the girl was.




Chapter 10-the demon

Hermione laid  on the floor unconscious. The rest of the girls begin to wake up. Lavender got up  and stretched . She walked to the bathroom . She needed a shower then she would put on her make up. She pushed the door but it only moved a little.

"Hermione are you still acting strange let me in I don't bite" Lavender said getting frustrated. It had been like this for a few days now. But this time she didn't here Hermione say leave me alone or  Go some where else to shower.

Maybe the craziness of Hermione Granger had ended  she thought. But then why is she unable to open the door. She felt a little worried.

"hay Hermione are you okay"  no reply. She pushed open the door with all of her strength. Hermione's body slide away enough  for lavender to slide in. she looked down and saw Hermione. She screamed and ran out.

"someone go get a teacher , I... think Hermione might be dead" Lavender said very shaken . Everyone stop what they were doing

"don't just stand there do something " lavender shouted.  every one  stopped staring and started to help. Two girls went to go get professor McGonagall,  while everyone else triad to keep Hermione warm.

****
Hermione opened her eyes she was in a bed. It was not her own. She looked down at her arms they were still blue. She looked around and saw a  curtain  around her bed and two shadows talking behind it. She rubbed her head it hurt like hell. The voice was still there it seemed to be getting louder. While she felt weaker. She triad to hear what the two figures where saying.

" what's wrong  with her" Hermione heard a women say it sounded like professor  McGonagall.

" nothing I cant explain it. She perfectly  fine. Nothing physically Wrong. But there may be something else" said  the other lady  madden Pontfray

"what are trying to say"

"you know what I'm trying to say.  There may be nothing wrong with her body but what about her mind."

"there is nothing wrong with it, she's a top student.  Pressure must be getting to her"

"if you say so, but I heard her in her sleep and she doesn't seem to be all there. What I'm saying is she should see some one."


"fine"

" you can tell the others to come in now"

Hermione laid there. Even the teachers thought she was mad.

Why wouldn't they. Look at the way you acted. Soon it wont matter because you wont be here.

"shut up" she said quietly.

Hermione saw the Curtin being dragged she saw Ron standing there.

He rushed over to her and hugged her.

"I thought you where dead" he said crying a little. He pulled away and looked at Hermione's arms.
She quickly stuffed them under her blanket. But she was to slow. Ron looked at her frighten.

"Hermione please tell me you spilt a poison on you skin"

She shook her head.

"Ron I'm scared" she started to cry. Ron took her into his arms. He kissed her on the head .

"shhhhh its all right" 
Hermione looked up and kissed Ron on the lip's. her head gave a tremendous thumb and she pulled away. She wiggled a squirmed. Her whole body started to hurt and burn. She screamed in pain.

Ron stood up .

"mione, mione what wrong speak to me."

Hermione started to shake violently. Her eyes rolled back in her head.

"somebody help me" Ron shouted as he triad to hold Hermione still.

He let go of her as the rest of her body started to change . The colour in here arms were spreading to the rest of her body.

She stopped . She laid still. Ron walked towards her. And place his hand in hers. Her eyes flew open. Dark black empty pits. Her hair now had red in it. She looked at Ron. Then at there hands. At super speed she was behind him and had her arm around his neck.

"never touch me" she grabbed his wrist and broke it. Ron whimpered in pain.

She smiled and licked her lips. She pushed  him to the floor and walked out.

She past Ginny and Harry.

"Hermione you shouldn't be....." Harry stopped. He saw Hermione's black eyes stare at him.

Hermione turned around. Looked at  them. Then carried on.

here's the next 2 chapters enjoy

Chapter 11 hunting

Hermione stretched or so to say the demon did .  It felt different being in this one. She was strong much stronger then the others  and smart. She could feel the knowledge inside her.  The girl no longer could control this body., She was the one in control. As she walked around the school she   felt  the urge to kill but throw it aside. She need a clear mind in order to sense the protector. She gritted her sharp teeth together. She hated them. Every time she was freed. One of them would come it was in there blood. They would come  and they would stop her. But they could never kill her. The last time she was freed was about 100 years ago. O how things had changed. The human race seemed have expanded and developed. She didn't like this one bit. She always despised them for there feeling for one another. Love such a vile thing she thought. It made her feel sick to be in this body while she kissed and showed her love to that boy.  It was so hard to be nice to her.  She thought But then  she started to get stronger  and she didn't need to. The more she used the necklace the stronger I got. I sucked at her soul and adsorbed other peoples luck.
She never new what hit her she was to good I needed some one bad. The demon laughed.

She stopped. A bell pierced her ears. She hissed in anger searching frantically for the source.  She looked up and saw nothing. Where is it coming from she thought
Students started to come out. Then it stopped. But  she was angry now so  She grabbed a first year around the throat and lifted her of the ground. Her legs kicking as she did so But the demon did not let go but instead  smiled. The girl looked into the dark black eyes and desperately triad to get out of  her grasp. Tears spilled down her cheeks . Her eyes started to role back into her head. She heard kids screaming but did not care. She was enjoying  this. The fear. Then there was that bell again. She hissed and let go of the kid. Who fell to the floor.. Her friends crawled to her. Then a teacher came out

"what' going on out here "  professor  Ella said

She looked down and saw the girl pale as death.

",who did this"

No one answered as they were all to scared . 

She had to get out of here the sound was to much . She ran in super speed away.
She stopped once she was outside on the grounds. She sniffed the air . Then inhaled deeply.
He's coming I can smell him the demon thought. She wanted to kill him and his family kill the line once and for all. But she may  not have to do that if she gets the stone. She had never been this close before  to regaining what was once hers. She could feel  the peaces. So long since they have been joined. She looked down at the necklace. The only peace she had but soon she will have the rest. She remembered  how she had got this stone. It  was made in the core of a volcano it was made by her ancestors. They were there before humans.  But they died out. There was a huge war between them and another  species.  They argued over the stone. Saying that it was theirs. The war left them with nothing. Slowly they all died except for one. She survived only because  she was asleep. Left in a cave. She woke up to find that there was no one like her instead there were humans. They took her world and changed it. She soon learned the power of the stone and made a plan that she have been trying to complete for thousands of years.
She dived out of her thoughts and sniffed the air again.

"he is here"


Chapter 12_ the protector

Kenka felt the train stop. He grabbed his things and left the train to  look around. He was amazed at what he saw, a  huge lake and beyond that a castle .  He looked straight  ahead  and saw a carriage but it had no horse's. He slowly went up to it and climbed in. He guest it was for him. It jolted  then started to move. Kenka felt a bit scared. He was in a place he did not know and soon be facing her if it is not to late. The carriage stopped and he got out and entered the castle.
He looked around saw strange people wearing gowns and holding sticks some were using them to do magic. He looked around in total aw. He had never seen a place like this. Now that he was there the whole thing felt extremely real. He swallowed hard. He knew that  he might not survive this visit . He walked into a set of doors and found that he was in  a huge hall. He looked up. There was no ceiling but stars and clouds. How is this done he thought. He then saw an old man in a pointy hat walking up to him.

"you must be Kenka. I am professor Dumbledore head master of this school"

Kenka nods and shook his hand.

"where is she"

"come I will show you"

He followed him out of the hall and up some staircase's that were moving. He held onto them with killer grip. Dumbledore smiled at this. They then reached another set of double doors.  Immediately when they went through the door a boy with bright orange hair rushed up to them.

"she's gone." he said  his voice broke with every word.

"what" Kenka shouted .

O no the demon has her and now she will be killing he thought scared

"how did this happen." he asked

"who are you" the red hair boy said

"never mind that Mr Weasley we need to know how this happened"  Dumbledore said calmly

"she was fine a few weeks ago.  But when she was lying there she wasn't.   Her skin started to turn  blue and her eyes they were black they Were not 't Monie's" he said touching his arm that was in a sling. He winced a little.

"What's happening " he asked looking at Kenka.

Kenka took a deep breath.

"your friend Hermione is it *Ron nodded * has been  possessed  by a demon. I've been having dreams about her this school  and what's been happing. The demon she wants the stone. Many years ago there was a fight between my ancestor and the demon. The stone broke and the demon was trapped. The peaces were past  all around the world.  I have them all except that necklace. The demon has been using it as a way of getting into Hermione's  mind."

Ron looked at Kenka.

"what makes you think you can stop it and safe  Hermione" he asked fiercely

"I never wanted this. To know what will happen. Its in my blood . Avery male that is born into are family has a birth right to protect the stone. It is all because of what happened more then a thousand years ago. A men triad to stop the demon  succeeding  her plan. He stabbed her and there blood mingled together.  Ever since then everyone in the family has dreams.  We are the only one that can touch the stone other then the demon when it is whole.  How we stop her I don't know. But I do know we cant let her get the peaces to that stone  because....."he stopped. He didn't want to tell them what he knew.  He was scared. Scared of the dreams of the future if there was one.

"why" Ron said   looking worried

"because the stone brings the end of the world" Kenka said looking at there blank faces.

next chap everyone

Chapter 13- the peaces

Ginny and Harry rushed into  they couldn't believe what they just heard

"what do you mean end of the world" Ginny said looking at everyone.

" that's imposable" Harry added.

Kenka looked at Ginny. She didn't know him. But it looked like he knew her.

"you were the girl who fell " he said walking over to her.  "do you see what the stone can do, this was only a necklace think about what it could do if it joined." he said pointing at Ginny.

Ginny remembered how guilty Hermione felt and now understood why.

Kenka turned to Dumbledore.

"what can you do to protect these peaces" he dived into his pocket and took out a pouch. He opened  and  took out its content. In his hand he held the rest of the stone. 

Dumbledore looked around and then down at the peaces.

"there is one spell it is very hard. I will need all of you. As you are the protector  you will play a key role you are linked to the demon there for linked to the stone everyone sit  in a circle. Kenka sit in the middle. You need to empty the peaces out onto the floor." Dumbledore said . He sat down and waved his hand for everyone else to do so .

Ginny sat down  next to Harry and Ron in the circle. She felt strong  when they were by her side. Her brother and Harry. The boy she has loved since the first time she saw him. But she would never tell him As she all ready  knew  that he did not feel the same. She looked around and notice that Kenka was all ready in the middle. Ginny could see the bright red crystals gleaming and sparkling. They looked so pretty. Ginny didn't understand how  they could be so dangerous.

"now keep your minds clear and say  Import Limbic Lona, wave you wand and beams should shoot out of the them and  make the peaces repel each other and move away from the demon when she picks it up. Everyone keep your mind clear and focus."

Ginny breath in and out deeply as she did this she cleared her mind of her thoughts.

"on the count of three"

"1.....2.....

***
The demon could sense him in the building but where. It was to big.  She ran, she could feel him she was getting closer. Then all of a sudden a sharp pain hit her chest . It was burning her. The necklace it was red hot. They were doing something  to the rest of the peaces. She ran in supper speed to him. What ever was happening the demon knew he had something to do with it. The necklace was getting hotter and she was getting angry.

***
"3!"
Ginny waved her wand and shouted the incantation . A beam ran from her wand to the crystals. There were other beams too. Then  she heard a door burst of its hinge's. someone was  in the room and they were standing right  next to her. Ginny felt sharp nails dig into her shoulder. She looked up and saw Hermione. She was smiling  a smile she had never warn before. It looked like she was enjoy what she was doing. Her skin  was so blue. It looked cold. Ginny sat there in shock completely still. She dropped her wand with out noticing as   Hermione pushed her with so much force that she skidded out of the circle. She hit the wall her head banged against the corner all   She could hear  was Harry shouting. But   she couldn't see where he was. Her vision blurred. And her eyelids  closed.

****
She  looked at Ginny  and laughed. She felt better the pain had stopped now that the spell was interrupted.

She looked in the middle of the circle and saw the protector and what she had been searching for ages the rest of the peaces. She ran at him. But  instead of slicing him with her nails she hit something.  A force filed. Kenka looked relived.
But this wasn't going to stop her she  dug into her robes and found a knife.  It  was engraved with powerful ancient magic. It could cut through anything . She held the dagger and sliced ,a line emerged and she stepped in she pushed him out and grabbed the stone.

"your back with me. With your true master"

She started to chant. The peaces glowed  and were beginning to stick together like a jigsaw puzzle.    She took of her necklace; A red imprint was left were it burnt her skin. She started to chant again the stone fell out of the necklace and joined with the rest. They glowed so bright that All you could see was  red.  The light then disappeared and what was left was a large red circular stone.  She picked it up and stepped out of  force field.

Here's the rest of the story as i haven't had time to check it really well there may be a few mistakes hope you enjoy 0612 and anyone else who reading

Chapter  14 the apocalypse

Kenka got up he remembered the demon pushed him and joined the stone together. He had failed. She has the stone and will now end the world. He felt his face it was grazed and bleeding. He look around. He saw the red haired boy on the floor cradling his arm . It must have  been broken again  or more. He saw the other boy arm's around the girl Ginny. Her head was bleeding a little. But he did not see the demon. He looked in all direction's all he saw was broken  beds and a scorched mark's were the pieces were.

He ran over to the dark haired boy.

"is she okay" he asked

" she's breathing , thankfully I think she's going to be fine." Harry said stroking her hair.

"did you see the demon leave" he asked

"yes, why."

"because I know where she's going. There's this desert. Its where a found the  peaces. That's where she has to perform the ritual. Do you know a fast way of getting there"

" you could use a port key. I cant create one  I'm under age  but Dumbledore can" Harry said looking at Dumbledore on the floor.

"but his unconscious"

Kenka walked over to him and pulled out a special herbal mixture valve and waved it under his nose he woke up.  He  helped him to his feet.  Dumbledore  then walked over to Ron who seemed to be in less pain.

Kenka looked  into his eyes he  saw fear there.  Fear for Hermione and the end of the world.  

"you okay" Kenka asked

"yeah. My arm is broken I think. How's Ginny"

"she's going to be fine." Kenka then turns  to Dumbledore and explained where he needed to go.

"yes a port key it may take longer as we are going a much greater distance" Dumbledore said

"now  I will stay with Ginny, I cant leave the school  " he place his wand on a  pillow and  created a port key. Everyone grabbed it. Kenka hand grasped the pillow as soon as he did this he felt something tugging at him . He was over whelmed  by  dizziness, all he saw was a wash of colours as the room dissolved .

****

Kenka felt his feet hit the sand. He stumbled and fell to the floor. The others were still on there feet. Kenka felt extremely embarrassed and quickly got up.

He looked around  at the large desert.The hot sun shined  over them. He looked far out into the wide desert as far as his eyes could see. A red light flickered.

"this way" he shouted. He ran and the other 2 followed.

He kept running. Blood pumping , heart beating as  the red glow got brighter.  He stopped dead in his tracts something was wrong he shivered it was freezing. He looked up  into the sky and gasped the sun was not shinnying anymore, something dark was crossing it. He continued to run the harsh wind making it hard to breath as The desert got  darker and darker. He could hear the chanting of the demon now as they got closer  . The dark cloud was now fully covering the sun. the only source of light was coming from the stone in front of them in the hands of a hooded figure. The hood fell  and two black soulless eyes stared at them behind the mask of the girl.



Chapter 15 talking

Ron looked at Hermione. She looked so cold . Those eyes were so black no longer the hazel nut colour Ron loved.  He no longer felt warm and loved when she looked at him. Now he felt the cold bitter  hatred coming from her. He wondered if Hermione knew what she was doing and if she did how much pain she feels knowing she is hurting her friends.

Harry moved uncomfortably next to him. Ron looked at him and saw fear in his eyes. Kenka stood in front of them he looked ready . He did not show fear. He stood straight and ready for a battle. He held a cross bow in his hands and pointed it at Hermione. Ron started to sweat . Fear swept over his body. He didn't want it to end like this there must be some other way to stop the end of the world and save Hermione.  He had to try he cant just stand here and wait but  as he triad to move he couldn't his feet wouldn't let him so he stood there waiting and watching.

Hermione laughs.

"what makes you think you can kill me just because you have two wizards. No I'm faster and stronger than all  of you put together and once you are out of the way I will end the world." she  said smiling.  

Ron blinked. He looked at where Hermione was but she was not there anymore . He felt claws scratch past his arm. As he looked around no one was there. He heard Harry take in hiss of a breath. He looked at Harry's arm blood dripped from three long gashes. Ron looked around frantically but could not see her. Then there she was holding Kenka around the neck. She sniffed him. Ron stared at Hermione for a spit second  he swore he saw those black eyes turn  in to Hermione's rich hazel ones . Hermione was still there but from looks of it only just. Ron no longer felt the cold  wind or the fear that was in him. He felt strong knowing that Hermione was still alive gave him the courage to do something. There was something  worth fighting for. He didn't want to live in a world with out her. He slowly  walked closer to Hermione. Harry pulled him back but Ron pushed him away.

Ron started to talk  to Hermione. Not  to the demon but to the girl he loved.

"Hermione I know you can hear me. Take control I know  you can don't let her  hurt anymore people; I know you can do it . Be the strong minded smart girl I'm in love with."

" what are you trying to do she cant hear you she is dead." but she did not sound all that convinced. She loosened her grip on Kenka and he pulled free of her grasp and fell to the floor gasping for breath.

"Hermione be strong" Ron shouted

"NOOOOOO" she screamed grasping her head. The stone flew from her hand and hit the sandy floor. She bended on her knees . She stopped screaming . She lifted her head up and Ron saw Hermione looking back at him she looked at him.

" R-R-R-R-Ron" was all she could say

" I'm scared"

Ron looked at Kenka who was on his knees. He knew what Kenka was trying to do. So he kept talking to Hermione.

"its OK were here and were going to take you home"

Hermione was crying know " I don't think I can hold on any longer. She's to strong. "

Kenka's  hands griped around the stone . Hermione saw and turned her eyes black and teeth bared.

Chapter 16 death

She charged at Kenka and dragged him to the floor. All Kenka could see was a fury of sharp claws  scratching at him. Kenka lost grip of the stone he grabbed his cross bow and shot up. Right in her shoulder she screamed  and jumped up.

Kenka heard Ron shout what the hell as he and Harry tried to find the stone . He knew Ron was worried about her. But they were fighting for there lives now and Kenka could not promise that she would  not get hurt. Hell he couldn't  even promise that they'll get out of this alive but all he knew was he would try with all of his strength.  He looked at the demon who had  grabbed the arrow that was in her shoulder and with one ruff tug , she pulled it out and through it aside. She laughed .

***
Harry looked everywhere for the stone but he couldn't see it. The darkness was a veil over his eyes . He crawled around on the floor. Frantically moving his hand around in the sand. He  felt something but it was hot it bunt his hand . It was glowing as he realised it was the stone.  

"Kenka" he shouted he turned .

" I cant pick the stone up" Harry said the moment the words passed his lips he knew he shouldn't of said it. Hermione's eyes were upon him. He scoped up the stone in a cloth and  started to run. smoke and the smell of bunt flesh started to rise. Harry stopped and saw Hermione in front of him.  He saw Kenka behind her a few yards away he through the stone over her head to him. But he did not see Hermione in front of him anymore. She was now  behind Kenka.

****

Kenka grabbed the stone in his hand. it did not hurt. Only he or the demon could hold the stone when  it was whole. He saw a big rock on the floor he took it in his hands .  But he felt a strong arm press on his throat from  behind. It was the demon. He couldn't breath his vision blurred. He knew she was going to kill him. He raised the stone high in the air and brought it down hard agents the rock Kenka could hear Harry and Ron shouting trying to help but they couldn't . He closed his eyes as he heard the stone shatter. As it shattered a charge ran through him and the demon. It did not hurt but Kenka felt warm. He thought about his dad and the burden that will now be placed on his brother .
                                         

                                                               SNAP!

The demon broke his neck. But it was to late. She let go of him and his body fell limp on the floor. She screamed .  A huge light burst from her  chest and connected with the peaces. Hermione's hair started to change back to brown and her blue skin fading. Her eyes returning to brown.  Her claws retracted into her fingers.  Then  the beam changed it turned to black.  The black cloud which covered the sun vanished. The sun shined brighter then ever as the black beam disappeared. Hermione fell to the floor  not moving and was as  white  as death.

Chapter 17 Hermione

Ron ran to Hermione and  put he's head to her chest. He could not hear a heart beat. He checked if she was breathing. Nothing .
She cant be dead she just can't be he thought. He started to  give her CPR. Breathing into her, while Harry pressed down onto her chest. It wasn't working. They kept trying but there was no use she was dead.

" Ron she's dead " Harry said

" no she isn't I just have to keep trying "  tears spilled down he's cheeks but he knew what Harry said was true.  He lifted Hermione up and held her in his arms.  He stroked her hair and kissed her on the forehead.  Ron looked down and saw the peaces.  " why did you buy it Hermione why if only I didn't make u mad that day maybe thing would be different I love you and I always will."  he placed Hermione gently back on the sand the sun creating shadow over her body . He picked up the  three jagged peaces and smashed it over and over again on the rock angrily . It broke up even more. Bits and peaces fell to the floor. Tears fell down his eyes he couldn't make them stop.
****

Harry walked over to Hermione and sat next to her. He knew she was dead the minute she hit the sand. The way her body fell limp with no life. Harry had seen many deaths. You would think he would get use to it by now but it still hit him like a ton of bricks. She was his friend since there first year. She looked so different. So quit and peaceful. Harry turned and looked at Kenka. His eyes stared at him. An empty stare. Tears stung in his eyes he died saving the world and we will all remember him for it. He turned and looked at Ron who was on his knees. They had lost so many love ones. Ron had now lost the love of his life and Harry felt for Ron. He just wish it wasn't true that he was having one of his nightmares again. But he knew this was the real world.

***
 
The stone shattered peaces lay once more in the sand. A white small round light came out of the stone fragments. It floated up and was swept away towards Hermione. It slowly fell to Hermione's lips and it was no more.

****
Harry continued to stare at Hermione he bent down and wiped a strand of hair out of her eyes. But all of a sudden Harry jumped back in shock. Hermione's eyes flew wide open. She sat up fast gasping for breath; her hands clenched  at her chest. She looked around  still wheezing lightly. Harry eyes went wide with joy she was alive tears of happiness leaked from he's eyes . Ron came running he slide down onto his knees on the other side of Hermione.

" Hermione " he said slowly. But she didn't reply tears ran down her eyes her breathing was back to normal. Hermione stared at Ron then flung her arms around him and broke down in sobs.   

****

Hermione laid her head on Ron's neck he held his arms tightly around her. He rocked her gently back an forth trying too sooth her. Hermione didn't want to talk. don't think she could. It hurt her to much. She knew what was happing . The demon wanted her to ;she was locked deep down inside her own body trapped . Screaming and shouting but no one seemed to hear . Hermione looked at Kenka. She killed him . She looked at her hands with these hands she had snapped his neck . But it wasn't her who did it, but it didn't make her feel any better knowing this she couldn't stop it. In her eyes it was like killing him she stopped crying but instead she lifted her head up and looked out in the  desert not  moving or talking.




Chapter 18- coma

Harry was so happy that Hermione was alive but when he looked at her he could see that she was lost. In a place where no one could find her. Harry knew that filling very well he felt it when Sirius died. He never talked about it he use to cry at night but as he looked at Hermione starring into the desert he could tell it was far worse.
Ron got up and walkled over to the broken peaces he scooped it up into his hand .

" these belong to Kenka's  brother . I don't want to see it ever again. I hope that this demon never gets freed  and rots in there." Ron said truthfully. He walked over to Kenka's stiff body  and knelt down  .

"thank you for saving us and the world " Ron said  a few tears fell down he's cheek. He placed a hand over his opened eyes and closed them.Ron then turned to Harry.

" were taking him with us. Give him a proper funeral. He deserves it he saved the world "

Harry nodded he then knelt down in front of Hermione. Dried blood was on her  robes  but it was not her own it was the demons. He saw the wound, were the arrow had struck her  shoulder . It  was still bleeding a bit. He tarred some material of he's robes and rapped it the best he could around it. Hermione winced.

" sorry Hermione" Harry said. Hermione was no longer staring into the desert but at her wound. 

Harry saw this  and said  " see good as new , Hermione we have to go . Can you get up" . She nodded and pushed her self up with her good arm she struggled a bit . Harry held out his hand and helped her up. She swayed  a little as she tried to regain her balance . Harry started to worry for his friend. Harry turned and saw Ron  struggled over to them with Kenka. He took out a  stop cloak . They all new what it was  a port key. Dumbledore had given  another port key that took them straight to the  medical wing. They all touched it, Harry felt his feet leave the ground and the hook being pulled up from he's navel.

***

Harry felt the ground  once again and fell on to it . They were there finally home he looked around as he got up and saw the others standing . Ron still held Kenka. Harry hard a madam Pronfrey running over to them she screamed when she saw Kenka  dead body. An image of Cedric flashed in his mind it was just like this a tear trickled down Harry's eye.  After she regained her self she waved her wand and Kenka's body vanished.

" he's in a slab in the morgue" her voice was flat.

" how did I this happen"

Harry and Ron explained  everything . She  then took them to beds and made them lay down she bandaged  up Hermione's arm wile she gave Harry and Ron a potion to drink . Harry turned around and saw Ginny laying down asleep. Harry stared at her. She looked so peaceful and  pretty.

" madam Pronfrey is Ginny ok" he asked he had to make sure.

" no she isn't Potter , she had a nasty bang on the head she's in a coma. " she said looking at Ginny with a frown on her face.

He looked at Ginny and reaches  for her hand. He held it in his. It was the chamber all over again. Ginny wouldn't wake up then and she wont wake up now.

~ what if she never wakes up, I'll never hear her speak or laugh again.  I wont be able to tell her that I love her~

Harry just realised this that he Harry James Potter was in love with his best friend sister .

~ Ron going to kill me~

Chapter 19 - mute

Hermione laid in bed. Her head was throbbing. But she didn't care. She laid there still. She blamed her self for everything. It was her fought that Kenka died, her fought Ginny was in a coma.  She looked at her hands . They were trembling. She kept having nightmares. Every night she was still trapped. She kept killing people. She killed Ron, her mum and her dad everyone. She couldn't stop it. She knew they were not real but they could have been if she wasn't stopped.  That's what frightens   her that something rotten was still inside her just sleeping  or waiting for the next chance it can bring it ugly head to the surface.  This thing was apart of her and it still felt like it was . Even thou the voice was gone the memory's were still there the pain and these wont go away so easily.  She tuned and saw Ginny.  She had been here for the same amount of  time as she a week. There still were no signs of improvement.
Harry came in here sometimes by himself. Hermione would pretended to be a sleep. She hears the things he tells her. Sometimes he read to her. Hermione knew he loved her.

Ron always visited  her and Ginny. He would bring her flowers. He tried to talk to her but Hermione never really talked she just listened . Hermione just wanted to be held  and he did. The  only time she felt safe was in his arms.

There was a knock at the door , Hermione heard Ron's voice . She heard footsteps getting closer then felt lips touch her  fore head. She smiled.

" hi Mione brought you something to eat , not sure you  will like it. I made it my self . it's a piece of apple pie. " he opened up the container and  gave it to her .

It looked quite nice. Hermione hugged  him and took it. She eat a bit. Hermione loved it and that was saying something .

" so you like it"

She nodded.

"madam Pronfrey said that you will be out soon and everything can start to get back to normal "
Ron said  he tuned and looked at Ginny

" she's still not getting any better.  I worry for her. don't think  it ever be the same if Ginny doesn't wake up who will be there to moan at me and  give me advice on girls "  he joked

" you must be well bored in  here"

She didn't say anything . She just stared at him.

~ he doesn't understand and he never will~

"Hermione" he got up and sighed with frustration.

" everyday I come to see you and everyday you say nothing, just tell me what's wrong , if you don't I'll find some one who will " he grabbed bought of  her hands  in his  and looked into her eyes. .

" please just talk to me"

Hermione hated putting Ron through  this but every time she felt like talking  telling him her thoughts and fears . The words seem to not come out. What would he think if he knew that she felt like there was something still inside her would he fear her, would he not want to be her boyfriend. silent tears started to fall.

Ron wiped them away he climbed into bed with her and  placed his arms around her. He rubbed her back Trying to sooth her .

" I'm sorry Mione tell me when you feel it right I'll be there for no matter what"

chapter 20 a spell and the truth
Ron sat in Dumbledore's office across from a empty chair. The old headmasters and headmistress lay sleeping behind it  causally  muttering or snoring. Ron  new he need to talk to his headmaster about Hermione. Maybe he could help.  Ron kept looking at his watch and then at the door in front of him. He had talked to the head of Gryffindor and she sent him here. Fawks fluttered his feathers and made a chirping nose witch made Ron nearly jump out of his chair.

" so what did you come to talk to me about Mr Weasley"  Dumbledore said as he walked into the room and sat down in front of Ron.

Ron looked up " its about Hermione, she's stopped talking. She's not telling anyone what's wrong . Bottling it all up inside. Is there anything I can do to  help her. Any thing I'm getting worried sir what if she never speaks again and stays in this depressed mood forever"

Dumbledore leaned back in his chair and placed his hands together in thought . He leaned forward towards Ron.

" there is one way, as you have triad talking to her the only other choice is to make you understand how she is filling . If you understand and know what she is going throw actually  feel it. She then  can relate to you and finally open up and let her fillings out "

" but how sir "

" I will have to put you two under a spell. It lets you going into hermione's mind, experience  memories or fillings . It wont hurt her but she will be there also show you the things she want to show sort of like a guide"

Ron thought hard about this . Would Hermione want him to go into her mind but what else is there to do.

" ok what ever it takes to get hermione to talk again sir"

Dumbledore stood up and so did Ron.

" we will do it tomorrow you can return to your lesson now. O and Mr Weasley  you cant tell anyone "

" why"


" hay  Ron, why weren't you at transfiguration"

Ron  looked around and saw harry holding his bag on his shoulder and some books in his hand. On top of these books was a card.  

" o just had to talk to Dumbledore" he said casually

"why"

" o just about stuff"

Harry raised his eyebrows  " it was about Hermione wasn't it " he said looking concerned.

~ why cant Harry  drop the idiot ~

" no " he looks down at the card again and noticed it said Ginny on the envelope  he then noticed  that harry was hiding something behind his back.

He looked around and saw a big bunch of flowers.

" err harry why are you bye expensive flowers for gin"

~ you would think he fancied her~

Harry went bright red .

" what I haven't got flowers" he said his voice going jittery.

Ron laughed. "yes you have  there behind your back"

~ bloody hell he is thick ~

" o these flowers "

" yes" he said slowly  

Then it clicked. He looked at his friend Who was very jittery and sweating. He then looked at the card and the flowers . All the times he saw harry getting out of bed the past week in the night he was of to see Ginny.

" you like Ginny don't you " he stared at Harry . Borrowing his eyes into him.

" yeah ar I've got to go  " and with that the brave noble harry speed of like a coward living his best friend standing there stunned and angry.

" come back here harry I need to have a talk with you"


Chapter 21 connection

Ron sat and watched Hermione sleep. He looked at his watch  it was 7.30 pm. Dumbledore would be here soon to cast the spell. Ron always thought she looked peaceful when she slept . But now days he could see that something troubled her. They way she moved. Tossing and turning ever so lightly . That flat expression she wore . Small tears falling down her cheeks.

" everything will be better soon I promise" he whispered to her as he kissed her softly on the head.

He heard the doors swing open.

" are you ready Mr Weasley" Dumbledore said from behind Ron he placed on of his hands on his shoulder.

" ready as I'll ever be" Ron said as he turned to face him

" take hermione's hand, clear your mind think only of Hermione"

Ron  closed his eyes and breathed in and out only thinking of Mione.

"mind and body part. Be shared as one . Only part when what is set out be done is done" Dumbledore said waving his wand over Ron and Hermione. sparks flew and hit bought Ron and Hermione.

Ron felt the room spin and felt his mind drift away. He collapsed unconscious in the arm chair still holding  Hermione's hand .

****
Ron opened his eyes but he wasn't  in the hospital wing. He was some where else. He looked around there was nothing . Black and empty, the darkness looked endless. He then saw some one walking up to him in the darkness. They were getting closer. Ron squinted to see who it was. It was Hermione. He looked at her.

"where are we" he asked

" in my mind which you shouldn't be in" Hermione said bitterly.
" well this the only way I can get you to talk to me " he said very coolly

Hermione didn't reply she just shrugged.


" so why wont you talk to me, to anyone . What are you scared of" Ron asked looking into her eyes which were not looking at his rather over his shoulder.

" you wouldn't understand. No one dose"

" then make me" he said holding her hand.

" you want to understand, in order you to understand you would have to go throw every thing I did then you wound understand" she said tears falling down her cheeks

He wiped them away  " I want to help mione let me"

She closed her eyes and they weren't in darkness anymore. They were back in the desert.  He saw Hermione again kill Kenka.

" if you want to know to help me   then close your eyes and think about this memory and you will see it throw my eyes"

He did so. He felt a little dizzy and like he would throw up. Them it stopped. He  heard a cruel voice torn ting him.

There's nothing you can do your week defenceless. This is my body now . You have no control over it

Ron opened his eyes . He saw everything that was happening through Hermione's eyes or to say the demons.  He couldn't do anything. He felt week. He went throw every emotion that Hermione went throw. Everything she said he repeated. He screamed as he saw Kenka get killed. He saw himself get hurt.

He kept yelling for help but no one came. He finally gave up crying.  The memory ended he opened his eyes again . He saw Hermione looking at him they again were in the dark empty endless space they were in before. He understood everything . She was so scared. He experienced  her pain and it was something he had never felt ever be for utter helpless.

" close your eyes again  I want to show you something else"

He did so he felt the same filling again as he entered a new memory. He opened his eyes he hard his own voice shouting and the demon

   "Hermione I know you can hear me. Take control I know  you can don't let her  hurt anymore people I know you can do it . Be the strong minded smart girl I'm in love with."

Love filled his heart. He felt stronger and started to shout

" you cant keep me hear any longer I'm not letting you " he shouted

Yeah what are you going to do about it your week and pathetic your boyfriend is wasting his time

"no his isn't" and with that he  shouted his name and regained control.

He opened his eyes again

" your love for me and my love for you gave you the strength, don't you see mione everything she told you wasn't true , love weakened her and with are love we can over come anything she's gone  and she can never hurt you again" he said holding her hand and touching her cheek with the other. But she pushed away.

" don't you see Ron, she's still here deep deep down in side . She will never go away. She'll come back  and it will happen again and I wont be able to stop it " she said angry

" no she wont not as long as I'm her. Nothing will never hurt you  again you are strong. Are you going to live your life in fear. Never talking to anyone afraid she might take them away she is gone. She is not in your body anymore she is in the stone I'll  show you " Ron said  hoping this worked bought ways.

***

Hermione closed her eyes she felt really dizzy and sick she nearly fell down. She opened her eyes she was looking from Ron's point of view as this was his memory . She saw her self  holding Kenka around the neck  She shouted to Kenka  but he did not hear. She put her hand up to her head as a she saw the bright light burst from the demons chest and connected to the stone peaces. She saw her hair Change to her normal colour as the demon left her body. She felt scared for herself. Scared that the love of her life was dieing and part of herself was dieing 2.

She opened her eyes and flung her arms around Ron.

" I've been so selfish only caring about my self not about how this has affected anyone else your right she's gone and she's never coming back " Hermione said as she started to cry.

And with that the spell broke Ron and Hermione woke up. Hermione flung herself at Ron kissing him everywhere on face  .

" I'm so sorry. Thank you."

"uhum " Dumbledore said showing then that he was still in the room.

They bought looked around  rather embarrassed.

" I'm glad you are better miss Granger I'll show leave you to a two alone " he said smiling he tuned around and left .  

The doors swung closed, leaving the happy couple inside kissing.

Chapter 22 -awoken

Harry walked to the hospital wing the next morning. He was hoping Ron wasn't there his  trying to avoid him after what happened Yesterday . Yes he liked Ginny, he loved her and know Ron knew that. He pushed open the door and walked over  to where Hermione and Ginny was.

Good morning Harry" Hermione said propped up on her pillow reading.

Harry didn't reply he was so use to her not talking. He sat down and next to Ginny. He then quickly stood up and looked at Hermione in shock. He had just realised that Hermione had said something .

" you spoke " harry said very happy . He ran over to her and hugged her tightly .

" yeah " Hermione said smiling.

This was the first time he had seen her smile in ages .

" see you did it again" harry said letting go of his best friend.

She laughed at what he had just said. 

"how" he asked

Hermione bite her lip." well I cant tell you the whole truth Dumbledore said don't ask me why . But what I can say  is that it was Ron who helped me"

Harry didn't press the subject.

"so when you getting out"

" oo today "

Harry turned ant looked at gin he frowned.

"you miss her don't you harry "

"yeah, just wish she would wake up but I'm scared she might never " harry said going to Ginny's bed to change her flowers.

" I'm sure  she will, we just have to keep faith" Hermione said looking at Ginny who lay really still.

Harry sat down and took hold of Ginny's hand . He squeezed it and for once she squeezed back.

"Hermione, I think Ginny's  coming out of her comma" he said with a mix of hope and happiness in his voice .

Hermione jumped out of bed and sat next on the other side of her friend. Watching and waiting.

"Ginny" Harry called.

He looked at her face he saw her eye lashes flutter. Harry  waited in anticipation. The first thing he wanted to do was to hug her and never let go. He never wanted to loose her again.

Ginny's eyes slowly opened. She moaned a little groggily and slowly tried to sit up.

She looked at harry.

"harry" Ginny said weakly     he rapped  his arms around her. He never wanted to let go.

" your awake thank goodness" he said wet salty tears slowly ran down his cheeks.

Ginny wrapped her arms around him.

" I love you" harry said

Ginny parted and looked him.

" say it again "

" I love you"

" that what I thought you said you don't know how long I've been waiting for you to say that to me I all most gave up."


"I'm glad you didn't"

"me to" Ginny turned and just realised her friend was there she flung her arms around her .

" I'm so glad your OK" Ginny said crying
"I'm glad you are to" Hermione said she to was crying .

They parted and then all hugged each other crying. They were so happy.


Chapter 23 - the fight.

2 weeks later Ginny was out of her bed and back in school . She and harry were going out but they hid it from Ron. Ginny didn't understand why . But harry had told her that when he told him he loved her he was angry. The only person Who did know was Hermione , she was happy for them. She herself was doing much better but there were some day Ginny was worried for her friend. She would walk into the common room and see her crying. She would ask what wrongs and she tells her she had a nightmare of that night.  She told her not to tell Ron he would get worried. But recently she hasn't  been having them which made Ginny think that she was finally moving on. Harry and Ron were talking again. Harry had told Ron that he was joking . But Ginny new he didn't believe him it was the way he looked at her.

*****
Ginny was just about to fall a sleep when. She heard a owl. She got up growing.

"it beta be important " Ginny said to herself in the dark. She saw that the owl was Hegwid. She smiled and took the note off of his leg.

Ginny read the note it said

Dear Ginny   

I'm sorry I woke you but I wanna talk to you  meet me in the north tower be careful.

Love Harry

Ginny quickly got dressed and rushed of  to the astronomy tower.

****

Ron walked with Hermione guiding her. He had  one hand over her eyes and the other around  in her hand .

" where are you taking me Ron" Hermione said laughing

" you'll see were almost there" Ron said  squeezing her hand. Ron new he had to do something really nice for her after everything she went through.

****

Harry waited for Ginny . He walked over to the balcony looking at all the stars that where out.
He heard footsteps , someone came up behind him and wrapped there arms around him. He smelt that familiar sent . He turned around and saw that  lovely red hair.

" hi you" harry said wrapping his arms around her to

" hi" Ginny said   looking into his eyes.

He leaned in and kissed her on the lips. She ran her fingers through his hair.

Harry deepened the kiss. He loved the way Ginny kissed  him, she made him feel like it was just the two of them and no one else. Harry was surprised  it took him this long to be with Ginny. 

Ginny parted " so what did you want to talk about" Ginny said smiling

"  it  was nothing " harry said trying to kiss her again but she pushed him away playfully.

" did you  just say that to get me up you are sneaky harry " Ginny said  kissing him he pushed her against the wall and she wrapped his arms around his neck. Kissing as the moonlight shone down on them.

***
Ron led Hermione up a few flight of stairs.

"be careful mione don't want you to trip up." Ron said walking up the stairs.  Ron couldn't wait to show  her. She would love it. The astronomy tower. Hermione loved the stars. When they would get there Ron would conjure a blanket and a telescope for them to look through.

He stopped at the door and took his hand away from mione's eyes . She looked out of one of the windows and gasped.

" its so amazing" Hermione said hugging him

" just like you are" Ron said kissing her  lightly.

" thanks  I love you Ron"

" I love you to mione , come lets go inside " Ron said  opening the door. He looked around and saw harry and Ginny kissing.  He face went bright red with anger as he stared at them  who still didn't notice they were there.  Hermione gasped . Ron couldn't believe it . Not only is his little sister going out with someone she was going out with his best mate who lied to him.

"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE" Ron shouted.

Harry and Ginny jumped apart bought staring at Ron.

"I can explain" harry said  who had lip gloss smeared on his lips.

"YOU CAN EXLAIN, CAN YOU THAT MY BEST MATE IS KISSING MY LITLE SISTER. YOU LIED TO ME YOU TOLD ME YOU FELT NOTHING FOR HER THAT YOU WERE JOKING AND WOULD NEVER DATE GIN BECAUSE SHE WAS A JUST A LTTLE GIRL WHO HAD A STUPID CRUSH ON YOU"

Ginny turned to Harry. " just a little girl who had a stupid crush  on you " she said angry . She went up to him and slapped him across the face. She ran out of the room crying. Hermione ran after her


"Ginny I didn't mean it I had to make it sound real " harry shouted after.

"way ago Ron" harry said bitterly

"SHUT UP HARRY, SEE WHAT YOU DID, YOU MADE HER CRY. " he said

"well I only said those thing because I know how you would react just like you are now if I told you like a git" he said

"I'm  not a git" Ron said a little embarrassed. He knew it was true. Why was he so angry he new that Ginny was growing up she was 15. He couldn't protect her for ever and he realized this now. He thought about it who else would be better , his best friend  or some one he didn't trust.

" I'm sorry harry. I cant protected gin, it just that she's growing up so quickly. She's my only sister and the youngest you can understand why I was mad" Ron said

" yeah, and I promise I wont hurt Ginny" Harry said
" that's a bit stupid you all ready Have"

" I mean again I love her and I wanna be with her you can understand. You feel the same way about Hermione"

" yeah come here" Ron said giving harry a hug.

" come on you better say sorry to my sis"

" yeah that's if she will expected that is"

" she will"

With that they walked down the stairs.

here the very last post i hope you all have injoyed the story
Chapter 23 - the invitation

Hermione laid in bed half a sleep,She shivered lightly and snuggled up  closer to  Ron wrapping her arms around him. She had a nightmare again , her first one in  two weeks. It was horrible she kept seeing her self kill Kenka over and over again. She was so scared that   she ran to Ron's dorm  and ask if she could spend the night with him. Ron had Wrapped his arms around Hermione and tried to  calm her down.
She rested her head on his chest and closed her eyes trying to get back to sleep.

****
Hermione strained her eyes against the light that was now shining through the close hangings on Ron's bed. She sat up and looked at the time. It was 7.30. She  moved over to Ron and shook him lightly.

"Ron I f have to go, before everyone else starts to wake up. " Hermione said  quietly.

Ron turned over in his sleep, his face in the pillow.

" Ron, come now wake up " Hermione said  but instead Ron  snored relay loudly and  turned back over

Hermione rolled her eyes and  l pushed herself more closer to Ron there faces were nearly touching .

She smiled at his face it looked so sweet.

~ is this the only way I'm going to wake him~

She  lowered her head  closer and kissed him on the lips. She felt him smile beneath her lips as he began to kiss her back passionately . He   then placed his arms on her waist.

~ yep  it is ~ she thought as she felt there kiss deepen.  She  leaned  back on her legs and draged  Ron up with her , ending the kiss so she could take a breath.

" I need to go, how am I going to get back" Hermione said  glancing at the clock again. It was 7. 45. Someof the students will be awake soon.

Ron looked at her smiling He still had his arms around her waist. "ummm you can borrow Harry invisibility cloak I don't think  he'll mind"

He let go of Hermione and moved to get up. Hermione  moved over to the side of the bed so Ron was able to look through the bed curtains. He then nodded and left.

Hermione quickly slipped her slippers on as Ron came back with the invisibility cloak. She  kissed him on the cheek and placed the cloak over her

" see you at breakfast" she said opening the bed hangings.

She was walking out when she heard someone.

" ooo no there coming for me, the squirrels there going to bite my face of I'm not a  nut I'm the boy who lived . Go away."

Hermione turned around and saw that Harry was wiggling  in his bed talking about squirrels in his sleep. Hermione had to keep her hand clasped over her mouth to stop the gigles escaping her mouth  as she made her way back to the girls dormitories.

*****

Hermione walked in to the great hall and sat down next to Ron. Across from then was Harry and Ginny holding  hands. Hermione had told Ginny that night that Harry loved her and that he had  visited her everyday until she woke up. This made her cry even more then Harry bursting in saying sorry and Ron finely admitted that Ginny was not his little sister anymore but a young women.  Hermione looked at Ron and smiled. She grabbed his hand and squeezed it the squeezed was return.  She looked back at Harry and giggled she couldn't resist it.

Harry looked at her confused

" what" he asked her

" nothing, u-mm have you seen any squirrels lately" Hermione said trying not to laugh

Harry said nothing but Hermione did see him go red a little.

Hermione then heard the sound of wings beating so  She looked up and saw the  many owls swooping down .

A brown barn owl  landed near Hermione and  dropped a letter. It had her name , Ron's Harry's and Ginny's on it .

She picked it up.  It looked like it was written in recycled paper

" hey guys we have a letter for all of us I'm going to open it " she said to evryone

She opened  it with a hint of  curiosity. Why is addressed to all of them. She read through the letter then dropped it onto the table with shaking hands.

Ron looked at her " Hermione what wrong "  she didn't reply instead she got up and ran out of there she couldn't take it . Everything was back to normally but Hermione knew it would never be the same again she stopped runningand  breathed out  hard wiping tears away from her eyes as she did so . She was getting  better getting on with her life and this stuped letter brought everything  back to realty.

***

Ron picked up the letter and read it. He was worried really worried.  so He placed the letter on the table and went after her he just had to talk to her after what he had just read he knew she would be crying just like what she did there first year but this time he didnt cause it.

The letter was still  laying on the table. Words that were neatly  hand written

It said

Dear Hermione Ron Harry and Ginny.

You are invited to the funeral  of Kenka lee Matanat  on Friday the 10 of may.
 It its being held at saint Christopher church in London at  12 30- 1.30

Chapter 24  - grave stone

Hermione got up from her bed and looked at her self in the mirror . She was wearing a black skirt with a white blouse and brown jacket. She stared at her self for a little while . She thought back  to  when she was getting ready to go to Hosgmeade, the only worry that was on her mind then was that she didn't have a boyfriend. It seamed such a small thing to be worried about compared to the things she was feeling now.  Tears ran down her cheek. She remembered when she ran from the hall. Away from everyone, Ron had caught up with her . She told him she wasn't going she couldn't . He told her a million reasons why she was right and  one reason why  she should and it was this that stuck in her mind he had said to her if she did not go she would regrets it, that she would never be able to move on . He said this was her chance to say sorry. She had then started to weep in Ron's shoulder.  She scoped up the red roses that were on her bed and took a deep breath and began to  walkout of her room and  down the stairs  into  the common room where she saw Ron , Harry and Ginny  sitting down talking.  Ron stood up and took Hermione's hand and squeezed it.

" are you ready to go " Ron said . He and Harry were wearing black suites . Ginny  looked at Hermione and smiled . Ginny had her hair in a bun  and wore black trousers with  a white thin strapped  top with black cardigan.

" yea" she said quietly .

"Dumbledore has set up a port key for us to get there its this" Ron  said pulling  a pocket watch out of his inside pocket  Ron held it out for every one to touch it. Hermione hesitated but placed her hand on it so did the others , she felt as if a hook was pulling at her navel  the room blurred and  began to spin .

***
Hermione felt her feet hit the floor. She felt a little dizzy and fell down. Hermione looked up Ron was getting getting to his feet  and then held his hand out  for Hermione . She took it and got up she noticed that they were in a alleyway.ahead of them there was a  road where everyone else was walking  towards where the church was.  Hermione and  the other waited at the traffic lights . They crossed the road and headed towards the church. They were outside it now. Hermione  stopped and looked up at the big bell tower that was no longer in use and then at the cemetery at the back of the church rows and rows of grave stones. She thought about Kenka and how he would be another grave there soon. She didn't want to go in. Fear spreaded all around her body like a Poison. She then thought about death and how soon she to and the rest of her friends would  be dead. She couldn't stay here , she had to run. She looked around but everywhere she looked there where people.

" are you OK  do you wanna stay out here for a bit then go in " Ron asked  interrupting her thoughts

you have to do this she thought and took a deep breath .

" no best to go in now " Hermione said she felt a little bit calmer knowing Ron was at her side .

She took a few steps and walked in.

****

Hermione walked in and saw a basin of holly Walter and saw rows of benches. Hermione squeezed  Ron's hand more tighter . A young boy walked up to them  in a black suit he  had medium  long jet black hair and had an olive completion. Hermione knew this must be Kenka's younger brother Rint. He looked  like he was around 15 just a year younger then her. she felt guilty for she was responsible for is brothers death, I wonder if he knew would he sill have invited her.

" hi I'm Rint Kenka's brother thank you for coming Dumbledore told me about how you helped him in the battle and I thank you for that , he would of wanted you to come" he said shaking  each one of there hands.
He went to shake Hermione's but  she placed her hand in her pocket. He looked at her puzzled then showed them were they were sitting.  Hermione  walked down the church to the seats and looked around as  she walked. she saw family members crying. there wasn't many  around 30 . aunts , cozens , uncles  , friends . she felt she was the one to blame for there sorrow. They then sat down they were near the front in the second row.  Rint sat next to Hermione he  asked if he could speak to her before the service

" OK" she said she got up and followed him

" Hermione Dumbledore told me about what happened , how my brother died I want you to know I don't blame you. it wasn't your fought. you were being controlled by the demon and I know Kenka doesn't blame you and he wouldn't want you to blame your self either " he said taking one of her hands in his reassuringly.

" how do you know that" she asked looking at him

" I just do , the night he died. I had a dream the very first dream about the stone. I could feel what he was feeling.  He was scared for me but I felt no blame no hate towards you just a feeling that he knew it he had done what he was set out to do " he said a tear fell down his eye but he quickly wiped it away.

" thank you" she said she felt the big huge whole in her self being filled and the guilt slowly wash  away he didn't blame her and that was what Hermione wanted to know.

Rint looked at Hermione and took something out of  his pocket. it was a bracelet each bead looked like it was made out of jade but it wasn't Jade. it was much harder and had a rougher texture.

" I want to give you this , its protection bead's they will protect you were ever you go. They were Kenka he would of wanted you to have them. I am also giving them  to you because you and the demon were connected she left a mark on you which she may easily  be able to find you again these beads will hide this mark" he said placing them in her hands 

she placed it over her hand  and smiled

" thanks "

" come the service is about to start" Rint said as they walked back to the others  Hermione followed him . 

***
Hermione sat and watched as the priest said some prayers. The coffin was at the front, the lid was closed . That was the way Hermione wanted it, she couldn't face seeing him dead. There was a reef of flowers on top  of the coffin and next to it was more flowers spelling out the name Kenka.  Music started to play as the priest  stopped talking. Rint  and some other men got up and went over to the coffin and carried it out  of the church.  Everyone then stood up and walked out towards the grave yard.

Hermione  held Ron's hand tightly as they walked in front with Ginny and Harry behind. She walked across the grass, it  crunched  underneath her feet.  Grave stones  were every where  some new and some were very old, the old ones looked all most green. Hermione and the others finally stopped to a freshly dug whole. The priest handed out some soil and one by one they threw it over the coffin. Hermione walked closer to the whole and bended down , the soil held clenched in her hand and had a furm grip on the flowers in the other  she then slowly  placed it on the coffin, Hermione stood up and then threw the soil . She watched as the  coffin was slowly lowerd  down into the grave she listened to the words that the priest spoke.

" ashes to ashes dust to dust ....."

Everyone watched as the grave was slowly dug in.

***
A few hours later Hermione  came back to Kenka's grave. She steared down  on the grass and  looked at the grave stone. She smiled she knew Kenka didn't blame her but she still had to say her peace.

" I'm sorry, for everything you didn't deserve to die, you were only one year older then me, that's
to young to die, I know it wasn't me but I feel like maybe if I tried hard enough  then I could of stopped her,   I didn't know you  that well but I would of  liked to, what I want to say is I'm asking for your forgiveness, and to finely be able to move on. " Hermione said a few tears trickled down her eyes . She heard foot steps and wiped her tears.

" you  OK Mione" Ron asked

" yep just saying my peace" she said getting up.

" good , everything going to be better from now on I promise" Ron said  taking her hand in his and entwined his fingers with hers . She smiled

" come lets go" she said .
Hermione and Ron walked of and out of the grave yard ,away from Kenka's grave which stood there freshly barred. At the top of the gravestone was his name Kenka Matanat and below that was the date of his birth and his death.  1987- 2005.  At the very bottom was an inscription

"  the man who lay's here is the most bravest man of our time, he sacrificed his self to say everyone else he will be greatly misted"

Such  a short life but he's death brought meaning to everyone and so did his name the boy who  saved the word.

The end
