Together
Lying on the bed next to Ginny, Hermione extravagance thanking sky that her friend had managed to fall asleep. Ginny had never been so pale, from the days of captivity in the hands of Lucius Malfoy. Now it was wrapped in sheets and the blanket that her mother had told him, shortly before leaving the room.
Hermione realized that it did not want to join the others out the door.
knew that they were all out there, that there were probably her parents. He knew what had happened would lead them to ask if he should return to London in the Muggle world. And she would not, could not cope with the idea not to far away.
separated from his friends, Harry ... No, it was to be decided. He had to accept that her parents cared for her, but also remain firm in explaining their feelings, their choices. The magical world was his world now, and certainly not just because there was Harry
... But they would understand?
With a long sigh, he realized it could not defer past the conversation. Ginny looked at him one last time, and when he saw her asleep stood up and closed the door of the room.
The sitting room was full of people, as he expected. There was Billy and Ron, next to his mother. There were Seamus and Neville, Luna and Colin ... There was Hagrid.
looking round for Harry, then discovering that it was still standing by the door.
All the other kids, their friends and Ginny, waiting for a sign from him that the girl had better. "Sleep" he whispered, pointing especially to Ron and Billy.
He saw his parents, and then realized that the time had come. Harry surrounding the hips with one arm, and for a moment she did the same. She gave him a pat at the height of the spleen and intercepted his eye. "I talk with my parents, I'll be back soon. "
He nodded to his mother and walked out the door, feeling followed by both.
"Hermione, listen. We would not want to have to tell you this, but ... "
" I will not go to Hogwarts, Dad ... "
" I suppose not, want to hear what we have to ... "
" ... Do not give up the magic, although I have seen you squirm every time the
appointed last year. "
" Honey, do not you think that our pain is justified? "Her mother replied wearily," What brought you the magic, if not suffering? There are things that you can not even tell us, and the terror of things that you remember. "
" Mom, this would have happened at all Gabbani, sooner or later, if Voldemort had won. Do not you understand? "
" Maybe you do not have touched, if you had not attended Hogwarts. But we do not want to say that ... "
" You want me to be separated from Harry, Ron and the Order ... Phoenix, right? "
" Hermione, 'said Ethan Granger, "Now listen without interrupting. Neither of us will blame the members of the Order of the Phoenix, let alone Harry. We have seen what the Death Eaters have combined here to the castle. If I remember we were barricaded to protect the younger students, along with other professors. "
Hermione bowed her head in front of the angry tone of his father.
"And almost every day Dumbledore made us realize that we were not required to stay. We do not want anything rubbed in their face, Hermione. I'm saying this to let you know that you do not consider it a hostage to the magical world ... "Rarely
Ethan Granger raised his voice against his daughter. But this worried her even more. Shut up and listen to her was really hard.
"If we had been allowed to talk from the beginning, you'd understand that we are separated forever from your friends. This would be a short period, until this matter ... "
" But do not you? This curse would follow me everywhere. E 'connected to my memories, the spell that Malfoy had tried on us, to allow us to forget ... "could not continue, he found his voice cracking. Still had to do it, was to make them understand. "It 's that spell bound to clear memory that Lucius has distorted.
"We could not get rid of running away from the problem. Only here do we have any hope of understanding how to undo the curse. Do not ask me to give up this opportunity. "
" Hermione ... "
" I ripped to my friends, Harry ... "
" Hermione ... "
" Please ... "
Granger Gwen took her daughter's hands in hers. "You'd be miserable, Hemione, we know. We just want to be sure that you remember this possibility. For you, but for Harry, if you will. Our home will always be there. "
" So I would have to bring back the nightmare, though. We do not know what he wanted to bring this curse, since it was launched. Here are the books to find out. And I do not want to stay strong, safe, and someone tries to solve my problems. "
" I see ... Well, Ethan, our daughter becomes more stubborn. "
Hermione sensed in the tone of her mother's desperate desire to ease tensions, the
looking for some word to break it.
"Yeah, I think might be afraid that one of these nights sequestration. "
Hermione shuddered involuntarily.
His father saw his reaction, and gave a smile. "How much longer will we see you in this was my child? "He asked while stroking.
"I do not know, Dad ... I do not know anything. "The embrace of the parents had for a moment the power to dismiss her fears, and found herself crying as she was a little, sure they even understood the emotions that had not the courage to express.
"He leaves. "
Only when he saw the face of literally whiten Ron, Harry saw that he had spoken aloud.
Ron was discussing with Billy and McGonagall a few feet away, but hearing those few words he turned abruptly and looked at Harry. "No, you will see that his parents will understand. "
" Maybe I should wish me she can get away a bit 'by all this. "
" Harry ... no! Now strive to be peaceful for her, and do not believe that Hermione is so insecure by not supporting his choices. She wants to stay, Harry. "
" Ron is right, Harry, "Hagrid joined" Hermione's parents are wonderful people, and they want to see her happy before anything else. "
" It 's the point, can be happy with me? "
" If you go on like this we'll never know, because Ron is going to eliminate you from the face of the earth 'said Fred Weasley's voice. He and George had just come along with Arthur Weasley, who soon came to stay in the bedroom next to his Ginny.
"Harry," continued Fred, "you must stop thinking that Hermione might get better away from you. When you came to dinner with us it seemed quite clear what he feels for you. In addition, separate it from Ginny now would be a big mistake. "
Billy, who was following the conversation, nodded with conviction. "It will be terrible for them, but they must remember. And they never reveal what they said or not we can help. "
" And having to do it together, will be the only support they have. "
Suddenly, Harry thought of Rebecca. She too was in the hands of Death Eaters. Even She had been transferred into the cell with them, and then had to be present when ... He shook the arm of Fred almost without realizing it. "Becky! "
Fred and Billy reassured him. "This has nothing's wrong, not hard to get to sleep and seems to feel good. "
Harry and Ron sighed, relieved. Rebecca had lived too much, for his age.
All this was so unfair!
In that Hermione and her parents returned. Ethan Granger said something to the mother of Ron, as she reached him and Harry.
"What ... what are they saying? "He asked.
Hermione smiled shyly. "They're asking your mother if I can be guest at the Burrow, Ron, during the holiday season by the Master. "
Harry saw her wink and blow them to release stress. Unable to restrain himself, embraced her off the ground.
Ron had a toothy smile, and you could not distinguish red from that of facial hair.
"Now, however, no fuss, right? "Fred looked up to heaven," Ginny will certainly brief, when you wake up, and I can not stand it! "
That night, Hermione and Ginny were finally able to take a major step. First among them, then with the proximity of others, weighed up the memories that until then had thought of having to keep inside.
was difficult, it was painful but liberating.
Hermione thought to herself that she would not thank you enough.
As a tacit agreement, but remained in the living room that night, as had happened in the seventh year, when they shared the concern for the health of Harry, the company became the chair by the fireplace, even after she and Ginny had finished to reveal what came to their minds.
Neville's face was angry. "If I suspect what you were doing, I would spit in the face of Voldemort, as I said I would deliver a Dementor. "
Luna was trembling from head to foot, and Hermione knew why. It was not certain, though, that her friend had found the courage to talk to Neville to tell him that a Dementor had really almost kissed her, while he was unconscious and tortured by MacNair. "I'm glad you have not done, Neville. "Said the girl" as far as I've challenged him too. "
" No, nothing would have ever been too. "Seamus let out, looking at Ginny who was in the chair in front of her.
"Now what shall we ...? "Padma asked suddenly.
"I can tell you what I'll do it. "Said Hermione, uncovering resolute. "Ginny reason has always been on this story. These memories are chilling, but thinking to deal with them alone was the biggest mistake. I fear that will be worse, so ... hope you always beside me. "
The next day began with a breakfast very unusual.
joints in the Great Hall, the boys discovered that McGonagall had wanted two tables of houses joined together to form a single rectangle of over sixty people. So it was even on Halloween last year, when the whole school was concentrated in an effort to unite the energy and courage of all.
Seeing their looks pleasantly surprised, the headmaster smiled with a wink. The witch
Dobby even managed to convince to join them, but the success was short-lived. Winky from the kitchens came calling with a good dose of acidity, the lazy elf, and gave Hermione a look of resignation to the Dean.
Minerva McGonagall shook her head laughing, then proceeded to make an announcement. "Bensvegliati, many of us this morning. Some time ago I was told that a half dozen of you has become especially skilled in cleaning and sanitation especially in the unwanted creatures. I think I shall take advantage of the presence of these experts ..., until the hour of the weekend. In anticipation of the valiant efforts, let's get into it with breakfast. "
When sitting at the table, between Hermione and Ginny, Harry thought that Dumbledore would not have been able to truly leave Hogwarts in better hands.
People already awake at seven thirty in the morning there were so few as he had expected. Hagrid had slingshots in the bowl of porridge with a hungry look, along with a Professor Trelawney least disgusted. Harry smiled, thinking about the delicate inner eye of the professor of Divination. Over the past two years at Hogwarts had not had to put up with the portents of death for each lesson, because he had abandoned the area.
was true that two of his predictions had proved correct, but overall ... how he felt solidarity with the next, oblivious to the sights of impostor!
other side of Hagrid, Flitwick and Miss Ylena were engaged in a conversation on spells of translocation. Jacques stared pensively the young teacher, and that reminded Harry of the episode he had witnessed last night, before returning to the tower.
It promised to talk with others who have had to deal with the professor. The mere thought of the cynical and conceited behavior of the man returned to disgust, making him almost lose their appetite to do an encore of rhubarb pie, one of her favorites.
The curtains and tapestries of sanitation is even more problematic than at Grimmauld Place. The presence of an elf for the team, however, made it more fun. It turned out a move necessary to be guided by Dobby and his friends, because only they had a secular understanding of the rooms of Hogwarts.
Harry discovered he could not have the slightest idea of the actual size of the castle.
Pix challenge with great patience fun of them all, but especially that of the caretaker Filch and Seamus. He was away with a lot of attention from the people most admired, and strangely Lupin was the first. But the professor was always with them, towards the middle of the afternoon went to her classroom to end the program. Was shortly before the September 1.
Harry looked at him out of the hall on the second floor, thinking that this was the time suited to tell others about Jacques.
"The guy I've never liked" Ginny shuddered when Harry had finished telling them the debate between the professor and Ylenia.
"But you must be very careful, Harry. "Said Hermione, while mercilessly sprayed tents Doxicida.
"I have a deja-vu," said Ron, "... you do not, Harry? "
" Talk about slave labor or Hermione's lecture? "
" Do the little cunning, it is not really the case that Harry Jacques also makes enemy, Snape after the first five years of Hogwarts! "
" Look at that Snape did everything alone, "Harry reminded her," I have not antagonized anybody. "
" He-hem, "said Ginny.
"Feel santarellino! "Exclaimed Hermione and Padma in the choir.
Ron stopped with the spray bottle in hand. "But you also breathe together?! "
" You continue to collect, Ron ... "Harry suggested," after all we have time to take revenge. "The week ended with
days more or less similar. After the Doxie, it was the turn of the mushy, who were mostly addressed by teachers, for obvious reasons.
were very early days that were missed in all of them tiring but serene. Nights of Ginny and Hermione seemed to be just a bit 'more problematic, spent in fear that memories could start to appear.
With the approach of the first day of their senior year, Ginny and Luna were discovered quite anxious, and increasingly the Ron and Neville lost sight of, found in the library or in their common rooms reduced to two bundles of nerves. About
anxiously wondered how it would be the Master was not less.
Harry looked around every time he sensed the approach of one of the professors, known only superficially in the study of Dean, not knowing yet what the subjects taught. He tried to imagine this and more, but soon decided that was not the case that earlier. Only served to increase anxiety. The situation was not so different from the banquet of their first year at Hogwarts.
Under that date that marked the beginning of their lives outside of school, he began to talk of aptitude tests, which would be required from Monday to come.
Neville Harry and Ron was very helpful in the matter which had become much more passionate and confident, Herbology. If shyness had almost completely abandoned, not modesty. Neville skillfully dodged every compliment them on its preparation, and any comment on his future as a teacher.
But the pace of that review were self-imposed from Thursday afternoon was not to last. At eleven o'clock on Saturday evening, even Hermione shut the book firmly.
"Harry, quickly, try out the fever! "Exclaimed Ron.
"I'm fine, thank you! Indeed, great! And I go to bed! "
Harry, who thought he knew all too well what had been his slave during the review for NEWT, sighed and prepared to bring in the bedroom as" Spells Advanced Level "and" Quiz Master of preparation for the Ministerial Aurora. "
But Hermione's voice reached him from the closed door of their room, "Put down those books, Harry. "The two boys
gave him a five.
"Blessed are you, friend! "Ron sighed.
Monday morning, at breakfast when he received the call for the aptitude test Charms directly from the hands of Miss Ylenia, Harry summoned the memory of many moments of that weekend, with a cough and proceeded to read the time el 'indication of the classroom where the test was done.
