Our Always: Harry and Hermione

Chapter 23: Burning Dreams

I waited on the bed and looked around. It was rude but it was the truth. He needed to tell me so I could help him. Everyone knew Harry as the brave one or the leader of all. Only I have seen his vulnerable side. When we were in our first year down in the tunnels and he told me I was brilliant and couldn't have done it without me. In our second year when I was petrified and he held my hand(yes I was petrified but I could still feel and hear). In our third year when we used my time turner and he protected me from Proffesor Lupin and put his body between the werewolf and me. In our forth year when he came up to me after the second task and told me he was going to save me instead of Ron. In fifth year. In sixth year he came to me when I was sad. On our hunt for horcroxes when he asked me to go to Gorgrics Hollow with him. And this year when he stayed with me when Ron had broken up with me. He has always been there and I have always been there for him. Why can't he tell me this one thing? I started packing some items to go to my parents house. When I was done I left a note for Harry, telling him where I would be and when he could come. I packed some of Teddy's things just in case if I need to get him. I walked down the stairs and almost bump into Lavender on the bottom step.
"Hermione, why do you have a suitcase? And where is Harry?" Ginny asked. I looked at her and then at everyone else.
"Harry and I had a fight and I can't be near him right now. I'm going to my parents house until I feel like it is good for me to," everyone nodded and Ron pulled me to the side and gave me Teddy. Ginny and Dean go into the living room and Lavender went up to her room to rest.
"Here, I know how you feel and you need your space. Trust me, we both know Harry and he will come around soon especially for you," he said. He gave me a hug and walked me to the door. He gave me another hug. "Be carefull. You can take care of yourself but you can't control the minds of others."
I let go and looked at him. When did he become the smart one? I walked out the door with Teddy walking next to me holding my hand. I walked to the nearest alleyway and apparted to my parents doorstep. I knocked on the door and waited. A second later my dad opened the door and smiled.
"Hermione! Teddy! How are you guys? Where is Harry? Come in," we walked through the door and I looked at the clock on the fire place. It was near seven o'clock. I pointed to Teddy and and then upstairs so my parents understood that I needed to put him to bed. I walked up to my room and placed him on the bed. I turned around to grab his night clothes and turned back and he was crawling to the other side of the bed. I picked him up and got him dressed. It was a bit hard considering he kept squirming around but it was cute. After I got him settled I grabbed him in my arms and layer down on the bed. I started singing a wizarding song I heard from Mrs.Weasley to the tune Harry heard from his mother.
"Momma, Dadda. Hhooommmm," Teddy babbled. I chuckeled. As soon as he fell asleep I went downstairs. My parents were in the kitchen so I went in.
"Hello mum, dad. I'm sorry to bust in like this but I need a place to stay for break. How are you two?" I asked. I went over to the pot and grabbed myself some tea. After I sat down my mum started talking.
"Its alright sweetheart. I went through the same thing with your father. You can stay as long as you need to," she said. My parents were so understanding. We talked until around nine then all went to bed. I took a shower then got in bed. Teddy was in a crib next to the bed so I knew he was close. As I fell asleep I think of today. Slowly but surely my eyelids started getting heavy and I let into the temptation of sleep.
I was walking on a white road lined with white buildings. It looked like Diagon Alley but cleaner and emptier. I made my way through and as soon as I passed the joke shop the scenery changed. I was in a cemetery. Everything was dark and creepy. It was cold and the air was thin. As I walked further the grave stones started getting bigger. When I got to the end there was a huge gravestone the name was blurry so I leaned in closer. As I got closer the letters started to change the order. When I was an inch from the ground and an inch from the gravestone everything was clear. The stone said:
Voldemort's followers will get you soon stay away from those you love and you will save them keep them close and slowly you will see them die. Here lies the heart and wand of Tom Riddle.
Out of the ground Tom Riddle grabbed my neck and held it tight. He squeezed harder and I started to black out. He let go for a second and said something to me that I didn't catch. Then he used the killing curse and I was dead.
I woke up in a second screaming. I looked over at Teddy. I used a sleeping spell to keep him asleep. My dad came in and checked if I was okay. I was so I went downstairs to the kitchen to get a glass of water. I needed to relax. As soon as I was on the first step to go upstairs there was a knock on the door. I thought it was weird so I grabbed the set of keys that were in the key bowl and slowly opened the door.
"Harry!" I said. I was happy to see him. I needed him right now. He looked as if he had a rough night of sleep. I let him in and we sat on the couch in the living room. When I sat down he pulled me onto his lap."Are you alright? Its barely past midnight."
"I needed to make sure you were okay. It was my scar."
