The stars (Harry Potter fanfiction)

Chapter Fifty-Six

I stand in the courtyard next to Hermione her holding me in her arms. Every student that's standing here is all staring at Dumbledore.

Someone starts pushing through the crowd It's Harry.

Oh, he can show up now.

He walks towards Dumbledore crouching down next to him. I feel something wet hit my shoulder, I look up and it's Hermione's tears she's crying. My face stays dry. I can't cry anymore. I guess I've cried all my tears.

Harry shuts his eyes, some tears finding their way down his face. He sits crying over Dumbledore, Hermione pushes me out of her arms I stumble forward to Harry. Quickly grabbing him and letting him cry into my chest.

I brush down his hair, watching everyone slowly put their wands up in the air. I don't know if it's in respect or to get rid of the dark mark in the sky.

I hug harry tighter trying to calm him.

Watching him break down like this kills me.

I stand on the astronomy tower staring down below. Harry holding my hand and Hermione standing beside him, Ron sitting down inside.

Harry has been distant he snaps at me all the time now. I could breathe and he yells.

"Do you think he would've done it? Draco?" Hermione asks the wind blowing through her hair, I shudder in thought of him. Knowing he is one of them.

"No. He was lowering his wand."

I interrupt their conversation. "He saved me."

They both turn towards me, questioning gazes on their faces.

"Greyback and Bellatrix had me. Touching, laughing, smelling me. I was scared. He hit Greyback with a hex, he let go of me... That doesn't mean I forgive him. He still killed my child." Harry squeezes my hand, I squeeze his back twice as harder.

"In the end, it was Snape. It was always Snape. And I did nothing."

Hermione moves closer Harry grabs something from his pocket, shoving it into Hermione's hand. "It's fake. Open it."

She opens the necklace, grabbing a paper from the middle of it. And reading it out loud.

"To the Dark Lord. I know I will be dead long before you read this... but I want you to know that it was I who discovered your secret. I have stolen the real Horcrux and intend to destroy it as soon as I can. I face death in the hope that when you meet your match... you will be mortal once more. R.A.B."

R.A.B?

I swear I've heard that somewhere, just where?

"Don't know. But whoever they are, they have the real Horcrux. Which means it was all a waste. All of it."

"It's not all a waste... We just have to find out who R.A.B is." I tell Harry he rolls his eyes at me, removing his hand from mine.

"Yeah?! How will this help us! How could we find anything from this?! Sometimes you make me so mad!"

He yells at me. Hermione steps back a little.

I decided to yell back at him.

"Stop yelling at me! This whole time I have stood with you, not once have you asked if I was alright! I'm going through shit too! Sometimes I just want to break up with you!"

I think Hermione can see where this conversation is going, so she pulls me away from Harry. Before we both say things we regret.

"I could find the Horcruxes all alone. I'll tell you all where I'm at I don't need help."

I sigh and pull myself away from Hermione. "You are so bloody dumb sometimes, you think we'll let you go alone. After everything we've been through?"

Hermione now starts talking.

"You need us, Harry."
