Chapter 48 - Farewell....Hermione Granger
Dimension: 563 - Earth
Date: 26h August 2001 AD
Country: France - The French Riviera - Marseeleveyre Mountains
Location: Chateau Delacour
Time: Morning
The next day a very happy Fleur and Harry awoke in each others arms, pleasant memories of the best love making session they had ever had coming back to them.
As Harry came to himself he thought he would try to apologise once more for his actions and for injuring her the previous day, not to mention how forward he had been the previous night, while Fleur wasn't fully awake hopefully she would not be able to object until after he had finished.
"Fleur....I...."
"Arry, if you try to apologies again I wont sleep with you again until Christmas, we both reacted badly...."
"You..."
"Don't interrupt Arry or I will carry out that threat, we both reacted badly, it happened and we made up in truly spectacular style, let's put it behind us and not mention it again."
Harry sighed and nodded his agreement, receiving a thank you kiss from Fleur.
"Oh and Arry," she purred "If you ever want to be that adventurous again....feel free."
________________________________________________________________________
At the Breakfast table they decided as most of their lessons were now concluded that they would spend the day studying, Harry had as good as finished both his and Fleur's seventh year defence books and was a fair way through the charms books as well. It was amazing how much work you could get done when you didn't have Ron to distract you....mind you; the rewards offered by Fleur for doing well were also a fairly good incentive.
During the meal Adam entered for a moment and asked if he could see them both later as he wanted to carry out an experiment.
Shortly after Adam left a new voice interrupted them.
"Hey Feathers, Antlers."
"Hey Beaky." Replied Fleur.
"Morning," greeted Harry before realising what Colette had just said "Antlers?"
"Fleur told me that you were learning to become a stag Animagus and I thought Antlers sounded good."
"Oh." Nodded Harry.
"I was originally going to opt for Horny but I thought you might object to that."
"More accurate thought." Grinned Fleur earning a chuckle from Colette and a choke from Harry.
"I can tell?" added Colette, "The amount of pheromones that Fleur is giving off is blanketing my senses."
"Pheromones?" asked Harry.
"Yes, and from the amount being given off I would guess that something spectacular happened last night."
Both Fleur and Harry blushed at the comment.
"How adventurous were you Harry?"
"I...err....how did....err...." Harry stuttered causing Beaky to grin.
"The pheromones act as an aphrodisiac as well as causing you to loose some of you inhibitions, it's supposed to help the man to keep up with his Veela mate during sex....and by the look on your faces it worked spectacularly."
"Getting back to the point," Harry replied clearing his throat, his voice slightly higher than usual, trying to get off subject as quickly as possible "Did your father get a chance to look at the contracts?"
"Yes, he thinks that they're sound," smiled Beaky, withdrawing the contracts from one of the forbidden areas of her dress "Along with that book you got they cover everything we need; they are safe for us to sign, mine is already on its way."
"Good," nodded Fleur, taking her contract and signing it "We had better get ours sent off then."
"Lets do it now," agreed Harry, while signing his own contract, only stopping himself just in time to prevent him writing 'Harry Potter' before turning to Colette "Then we can focus on our studying, care to join us Beaky?"
"Oh excellent, a threesome." Grinned Colette, earning a cough from Harry and a groan from Fleur.
"Beaky, you're so predictable." Replied Fleur as they headed out into the hall.
They walked up into the south corner tower of the Chateau were the birds lived, the top two floors of the tower had been removed to allow the birds more room to roost on the beams that stretched across the space and in the alcoves set into the walls, there were also several openings in the exterior wall to allow the birds to enter and leave.
Most of the alcoves were full of doves or chicks, their parents flying in and out of the room periodically to bring their young food.
The only place clear of doves was right at the top of the tower where five owls sat on the highest beam including one with white feathers.
"Hedwig." Called Harry, his voice startling several of the doves from their perches.
His owl opened a lazy eye and looked down at her master before closing it and puffing herself up.
"Hedwig, what's wrong?"
"Arry, if you remember you have been here for weeks and you haven't been to see her once." Explained Fleur.
"Oh." Harry replied, suddenly looking ashamed. "Hedwig....I'm sorry, I'm sorry I've ignored you, forgive me?"
The bird opened an eye again and stared at her master for several seconds before opening the other eye and slowly gliding down towards them, doing a low pass over both of the Veela, causing them to duck to avoid getting raked by her talons before coming to rest on Harry's arm.
"What was that for?" Harry asked gesturing in the direction of the Veela.
"She doesn't like us Harry." Explained Colette.
"Why?"
"Veela remember," she explained "Giant predatory bird, she's jealous, she thinks you are leaving her for us."
"What?" He exclaimed in laughter, before turning to the owl. "Hedwig, you don't think that do you?"
Hedwig just hooted once and turned away from them.
"I think that's a yes." Smiled Colette.
"Hedwig, I'm not going to leave you for them, they are my girl and my friend, you are still my only bird."
Hedwig still didn't react.
Harry smiled before moving his other hand around to stroke her back.
Fleur and Colette watched amused as the moody bird subtly tried to lean into his touches, before finally giving up and giving him a friendly nibble on the finger.
"I'm not sure who's got who more whipped." Whispered Colette trying to hold back her laughter.
Fleur smiled back at her before summoning one of the doves down and sending it off with her contract before looking back to her mate and his bird.
"Are we good again Hedwig?"
The owl hooted once before extending her leg for him to attach his contract to.
"Sorry girl, Dumbledore mustn't know this is from me, I have to use one of those others." He said gesturing to one of the other owls.
One of them obviously heard as a large barn owl fluttered down to one of the lower beams.
Hedwig gave a huff and flew back up to the others.
"Well, that didn't last long," sighed Harry going over to the barn owl and attaching the contract "Can you fly faster than that dove?"
The owl hooted.
"Good, then you should easily overtake her, just so long as you don't arrive at the same time."
Harry stood back, allowing the owl to dive out one of the holes in the wall, sending doves flying.
Harry sighed up at Hedwig before leading the way back out of the tower.
No sooner had he reached the Entrance Hall when he collapsed to the floor, his scar erupting in pain.
"Arry!"
"Whats wrong?"
He couldn't answer them as images flashed across his vision.
FLASH
A street.
FLASH
A house.
FLASH
Black cloaked figures appearing.
FLASH
A bedroom.
FLASH
A young woman with bushy brown hair lying on a bed.

"Hermione!" he shouted "She's in trouble, Death Eaters."
"At Hogwarts?"
"No, it must be her house, but I don't know where she lives."
"Viktor knows." Replied Fleur.
Harry was on his feet running towards Viktor's room before she even finished the sentence, taking the stairs two at a time, the others following behind him.
It took less than ten seconds for Harry to reach Viktor's room, the pair of swords he had summoned flying into his hands as he burst through the doors so fast he almost tore the door straight of its hinges.
"What the....Merlin Harry, what's going...."
"Do you know where Hermione lives?"
"What, yes, of course." He replied climbing out of the chair he had been dozing in "But wha...."
"She's in trouble, Death Eaters, make a portkey." He gasped as Fleur and Colette caught up, already transfiguring their appearance to that of April and April's almost identical twin sister.
He moved to transfigure himself into Daniel.
"No Arry," said Fleur "Daniel can not be seen there, nor can you."
"Then what would you recommend I do then?" Harry returned hotly, annoyed that his best friend was in trouble and they were not there to help.
"Use this." Answered Adam's voice from the doorway as an object flew though the air towards him.
Catching it Harry turned it over to reveal the mask from the shop in Merlin's Road.
"What the...." He began only for Adam to cut him off.
"Put it over your face."
"I won't be able to see." Harry complained.
"Trust me."
Groaning Harry removed his glasses and raised the mask up to his face, not having the time to argue.
As it neared his face it flew towards it like metal to a magnet and stuck though there were no straps to hold it on. As soon as it made contact with his skin Harry felt his clothes begin to change. After about a second his eyesight returned, completely unobstructed as though he was not wearing the mask as all, his vision was also perfect, not blurred as it usually was without his glasses.
Looking down he saw that his clothes had changed to a set of black robes and he was now wearing strange metal vambraces, greaves and gauntlets on his forearms, ankles and hands, they were made out of the same metal as the mask but seemed to way nothing.
"What the...."
"It's an Illusions Mask." Explained Adam.
"Wow." Exclaimed Colette "Your taller, your skin is darker and your head has changed shape, very super hero like."
"It's the ultimate form of transfiguration, your voice will also be different, in addition if you press your wand against the underside of the armour on your right arm it will stay there and it looks like you are cursing wandlessly, though your wand will react as though it was in your hand." Added Adam "It's also ironic when you think about who we are about to fight."
"A man in a black robe and a mask taking out others in black robes and masks, I like it." Grinned Viktor as he and the others transfigured their clothes so that they were also dressed in black robes, albeit without the armour. "The portkey is ready."
The group of took a hold of the portkey and vanished.
________________________________________________________________________
Hermione Granger was lying on her bed reading a book on duelling, ready for next years DA. After Harry had left Hogwarts Dumbledore had allowed Ron and herself to return to their now warded homes for the last few days of summer, not expecting Harry to come back until September first he had obviously saw no reason to keep them there.
A klaxon going off shocked her out of her reading.
It was the wards, they were under attack.
Jumping out of her bed she grabbed her wand and ran to the window, outside at least a dozen Death Eaters were firing curses at the wards, they would not hold long against the bombardment, they were designed only to hold back the enemy until help could arrive or they could escape.
Running downstairs she found her parents grabbing onto the portkey that the Order had left them.
"Hermione quickly!" shouted her father as she ran towards them.
Taking a hold of the portkey they waited for the tug of the portkey activating....but it never came.
They looked around confused, why weren't they at Headquarters.
"Anti-portkey Wards." explained Hermione "I knew we should have taken out the electric fire and put in a grate. Quickly, grab a weapon; we will have to hold them off until the Order can arrive."
There was a small frenzy as her parents ran to get anything remotely weapon like, eventually ending up with a pair frying pans and a cricket bat before moving out into the front hall.
Hermione moved to the left of the front door while her parents took position on the opposite side, glancing through the glass pane in the door she saw the flash as the wards fell under the bombardment of spells.
"The Wards are down, be ready." She whispered to her parents, both of them tensed, preparing to strike whoever entered their home.
There was an explosion as the front door was blasted off its hinges sending shrapnel down the hallway.
They waited as the footfalls of several people approached the door.
As the first Death Eater crossed the threshold they jumped into action, the poor idiot didn't even see the attack coming as a cast iron frying pan came down on the back of his head, neither did the second who was halfway through the door as a cricket bat collided at full speed with his face sending him back into the two cloaked figures behind him both of whom were rapidly stunned and their wands confiscated.
Hermione shot a look at the front garden while summoning the Death Eaters wands to her hand; there were at least a dozen or more enemies now and they had just lost the element of surprise, she really hoped the Order arrived soon; they could not survive long against those odds.
She ducked back inside just in time to avoid being hit by a nasty set of curses that impact the outside wall of the house and the hall carpet.
"Suggestions?" asked her father as another set of spells flew through the open doorway.
She thought for a second while muttering shielding spells around herself and her parents.
"You know you like darts."
"Yes, but is this really the time for a g...."
"How good are you at throwing knives?"
Her father looked shocked then slowly grinned.
"I guess we will find out." He replied dropping the cricket bat and running in the direction of the kitchen.
"What about me Hermione?" asked her mother.
"Do you think you could play tennis with a frying pan?"
"Why would I...."
"Some spells bounce of reflective surfaces, just dodge anything that's green."
Her mother nodded before following after her husband to get the stainless steel pans leaving Hermione alone to deal with the Death Eaters at the door.
She spent several minutes firing spells out of the doorway anytime a Death Eater tried to approach but she went on the defensive when they started chucking explosive charms at the doorway and the wall, she had to force all her strength through both her own wand and the confiscated wands just to maintain the shield holding the wall in place.
Luckily some of the Death Eaters were distracted when knives started raining down on them from the upper floor, several of them plunging straight into the shoulders and limbs of the attacking force, thought most missed it still provided a fairly effective distraction, it became even more affective when their spells started to fly back at them causing them to start diving out of the way.
Unfortunately that didn't distract them for long as they started firing blasting hexes as the upper floor causing her parents to cease their actions, she hoped because they were merely taking cover as the front wall of the house was being blasted apart.
She didn't get much time to think about this as three blasting hexes hit the wall in front of her at the same time, shattering her shield and sending herself and large chunks of debris flying down the hallway.
Rolling to her feet she got up in time to see three Death Eaters approaching her, wands drawn.
Raising her arm she was shocked when her wand and the others in her hand flew into the waiting palm of another Death Eater standing behind her.
Shoot, I forgot about the backdoor
"Say goodnight Mud-Blood." Sneered the one behind her, aiming her own wand at her head.
Hermione stood her ground, proud in defiance, she would die standing.
Closing her eyes she stood waiting for her imminent death.
It wasn't supposed to end like this, but she was proud to die fighting.
Proud to die doing the right thing.
"Avada...."
