Chapter 195

Chapter 195

Harry was at the edge of the Forest of Dean, he had been here before with Hermione. Harry looks around the edge of the forest he listens for any unusual sounds, hearing none he walks slowly into the forest when he hears a popping sound from behind him. Harry spins around his wand held aloft as he sees Hermione standing there.

“Harry, I can’t believe you came here alone,” Hermione hisses at him in a low voice. “Oh put your wand down, it’s me not some Death Eater who just happened to have my hair… or…….. toenail,” Hermione told him as she walked to him, her own wand still in her pocket.

“Really….. And what did you have almost a year ago?” he asked making sure it was really her.

“Twins, you fathered one Draco the other a girl and boy, the boy looks a bit like you but has my eyes, your messy hair style though.”

Harry grinned at her as he lowered his wand.

“Sorry gotta be sure in case some Death Eater did steal…. a toenail, when you weren’t looking,”

“Ha, ha, very funny… now what were you told, you haven’t said much,” she said to him, standing beside him.

“Well duh, I didn’t want you to get involved this is for Aurors not Law Enforcement,” he told her with a shake of his head.

“Oh pooh, I’m not having you out here alone getting killed, now tell me what Professor Snape said, I know you went to visit him, I asked McGonagall she had said you were probably going to the forest of Dean,”

“Well she was right I’m here. I’m looking for Avery, the one who likes to kill. I guess it was something he and McNair shared in common, they loved killing.”

“Urrgh, that’s horrible, so do you think he’s in here?” she looked around feeling worried he might pop out at any second.

“Yes Professor….. Uh you know my source said he came here as a kid loved these woods, mainly for killing animals and then he progressed into killing children,” Harry explained to her looking around once more.

“You’re joking right?” she was looking at him horrified.

“Nope sorry, Hermione this guys a psychopath, and if we go in here we’ll have to be extremely careful,”

“Harry; are you sure this is… the right place to look, did he not like any other woods?” Hermione looked at the woods apprehensively. She had enjoyed coming here as a child and hated the idea that her childhood forest was tarnished by a madman.
