Harry Potter and Hermione Granger

The Chambers Last Chance

      After Dumbledore hears all the rumors it was quickly decided that it would be destroyed. The basilisk was gone when they got to the chamber, leaving them wondering where it's body went. Laura was traumatized and stayed in Hufflepuff common. Cedric went home early with Amos Diggory telling him he needed a different girlfriend. Bellatrix came after picking up Laura, congratulating her on deceiving Cedric, even though she hadn't. Next came time for The Boy Who Lived himself to go home. He grabbed his bag and made his way mindlessly to the door, nodding once at Hermione who ran forward, grabbing his arm "You could stay with me?" she asked "With my mom and dad.". Harry nodded and looked at her, contemplating. She wasn't sure if he really wanted or not and rushed to tell him that he didn't have to. Finally Harry nodded. "I need to erase the Dursleys memory.".

      A few days after that Harry went to Hermione's house after making an agreement with Vernon and Petunia. They decided Harry was to never return, and begged to forget Lily Potter and James as well. When Harry got to Hermione's she was alone, her parents at work and Draco with Lucious. Harry walked inside, and started to search. "Hermione!" he yelled "Where are you?". He heard a knocking noise and she came running down the stairs, throwing herself into his arms. "He's coming back Harry I know it." she said. He pulled her back "What happened Hermione? What's going on?". She glanced around, fearfully "Snape...He was a death eater." she said and pulled him away from the door. "Calm Down Hermione Jean Granger." he said to her, watching her shake uncontrollably in his arms. 

        The door swung open, causing Hermione to jump up. She fell down, holding her hands up in surrender. "Sorry?" said a girls voice and Hermione sighed "Just Laura" said Laura, laughing. "What does your mother know?" asked Hermione, already Getting up. Laura's eyes went wide and she shook her head towards the door. "About what?" she asked as a dark haired woman entered the room. Harry nodded in acknowledgement. "Mrs. LeStrange" he said "How are you?". She looked as though restraining anger "Fine, Mr. Potter. Yourself?" said Bellatrix. Harry smiled, kindly and replied "Just as well. Your daughter is a fine young woman" he said complimenting her and almost sending Bella over the ledge. "I see that." she replied and Laura stepped in "Mother" she said "This is Hermione". Bella turned her scowl into a large smile and shook Hermiones hand, Hermione looked strained. When they seperated Hermione was looking around fearfull. "Inside" she said to Laura and Her Mother. They obliged and Harry saw Bella's sleeve roll up. 

     "You were a death eater?" he asked innocently, and her eyes went wide. "oh its ok. You raised such a great young lady I cant help but think youve changed." he said, reassuring her. She sighed "Of course I've changed. My Lord- I mean The Dark Lord was defeated, No past death eaters are death eaters now. My mark won't fade like theirs though. If you have doubt of the Death Eaters allegiance. Look at Snape he works at your very school." Said Bellatrix. "We don't doubt it. I hope you don't hold a grudge against me?" said Harry, his smile not fading. "Why would I? You were a child. I don't know how you even did it!" she said, letting out a laugh and continuing her smile. Harry nodded "Do you know anything about my family? No one seem's to. I thought a Death Eater might.". Bella gasped and shook her head frantically "All dead. Gone" she said and added "I must see my way out, is it ok if Laura stays with you?". Hermione finally nodded and told Bellatrix that she would help her out. Together they walked out.

      "May i speak with you, Harry?" said Laura, she reached out and led him to the kitchen. He could see the blue walls and scattered dishes across the room, and smiled. It looked like he had imagined his parents home. "What is it Laura?" asked Harry. Laura looked frantically around, checking the room for something. "Is she gone?" she asked, it was a rhetorical question and Harry didn't respond. But Laura looked at him "She's changing. Did you notice?" said Laura, almost jumping in joy "She likes you Harry and doesn't want to kill you.". Harry looked oddly at her "What?" he asked. Laura bounced on her heels "She loosened up. when she first entered she was tense and didn't enjoy talking, but later on she began smiling more and seemed to be comfortable where she was." said Laura. Harry looked back on the event and smiled "You think she still worships Voldemort?" he asked her and Laura didn't hesitate in nodding. "Yeah, I think so. But that was proof that she can change". Harry nodded and led Laura back out, only to see Hermione laying on the couch "Your mums insane L." she said, turning her head. Laura laughed "Yeah".
