Ron and Hermione~ A Harry Potter Fanfic.

The New Student

Ron took in all that Hermione and Harry had to say about her secret. How it started, why they want it and of course that Lucius Malfoy is a death eater.Hermione didn't tell them exactly all that she saw in the prophecy. She told them that the voices said 'dark lord rises once again, a boy with lightning May meet his end, travel with the red, dirt and cloak, seven years it takes to hope'. Ron didn't know exactly what all of this meant but he knew it was bad and that Lucius Malfoy found out it can only be worse for Hermione. Ron vowed to do everything he could to protect her. Draco wasn't going to lay hands on Hermione. They didn't talk about the subjects for the rest of the night and next week in potions class things went from bad to worse. More threats and notes and rude outbursts in class. It took all of Ron's might not to punch Draco he wanted to help Hermione so bad but she told him not to so he can only sit back and watch.

The students of Hogwarts learned some very surprising news when they went into Transfiguration the next day. Professor Mcgonagle (idk how to spell it) told them that they would be having a transfer student from America. "students, today we will be having a new student join our class today from the United States I hope you will do your best to welcome this new wizard into our classroom". She started, this new student just so happens to be the brightest witch in America she, being in her fifth year now will be sorted into a house and then brought into the class that her house will be in, I hope you do well at honoring our school." prof. McGonagle continued with the lesson in about five minutes later a small knock was heard at the door. in entered a girl about Hermione's size who had a black robe on with the Griffyndor logo. Hermione thought it was odd that Hogwarts had a new student from America, Hermione had read all of the books about Hogwarts but didn't know that they did transfers. "students please welcome Miss Charity Smith".

Charity Smith stood in front of the classroom of Gryffindors and Slytherins. She looked around with a warm smile. Her hair was about waist length and it had different colors from coppers, browns, blondes and even a little bit of dark brown. Hermione stared at her in awe. She was quite gorgeous. She glanced around at the other students. "Hi my name is Charity and, As you heard I am a transfer here from America." She giggled. Her eyes were a bright blue color and her face was flawless she was quite petite but she was pretty tall. Draco huffed and rolled his eyes looking at charity. "what makes you so special"? he asked. Charity shrugged at him "I don't know it's probably just because I am the smartest witch in all of America". Hermione smirked and glanced at Ron who was also smirking. She liked Charity already.

"Why America it always has to be America doesn't it" Draco huffed. "My father will hear about this". Charity smiled "well tell him I said hi". Harry laughed at that which gave him a glare from Draco, Draco sat back in his chair and continued with the rest of the class. Charity took the empty seat next to Hermione. "Hi there please to meet you" Hermione whispered. Charity looked at Hermione and smiled "And to you too". Hermione could tell Charity was very smart they both were the only ones to complete all of the questions and giggled with each other when they realized they were the smartest people in school.

When class dismissed Hermione showed Charity around Hogwarts and then went back to the Griffyndor common room for lunch. They sat with Harry and Ron and joked around, Harry and Ron liked Charity she was fun to be around. Charity had a beautiful laugh and she didn't take any hating comments she just turned them into jokes. Hermione thought that Charity could very well be one of her new best friends.

On the first day to Hogsmead Hermione invited Charity to go along with her Harry and Ron they walked through the snow together. Charity ended up being more popular than Harry had ever been she was nice and talented and pretty so most of the school loved her. Even though she liked Charity she wasn't ready to tell her her secret yet especially since she didn't think Charity had no clue who Voldemort was, she didn't realize Charity would find out on her own.

The next day in defense against the dark arts Charity asked about Voldemort. "A couple of my friends were telling me that you have been having a problem with a dark wizard called Voldemort is this true"? she asked Umbridge. Umbridge shook her head "no dear none of this is true" She almost yelled. "I don't know what is going on in England but in America strange occurrences have been happening between the wizards". Charity told her. Harry sat up to listen to Charity. "What do you mean strange occurrences"? Charity looked at Harry and began. "There have been attacks from people in dark clothes and masks people have been calling them death eaters. They say they are run by an evil man with the snakelike face and a bald head." Harry looked at her in disbelief and started shaking his head. "They say not very many people have survived these attacks someone told me that the man came right up to them and-" "Enough! A certain dark wizard is not back, My dear you have been misguided they are just such rumors". Unbridge yelled before continuing her lesson. Hermione glanced at Harry and saw him deep in thought and fear in his eyes.

The next day, Hermione waited for Charity before going to hogsmeade when she didn't show up Hermione went ahead and continued to go meet Ron and Harry in the three broomsticks hub. A figure stepped next to Hermione and whispered to her before she left. "You keep forgetting I have something on you, you better pay up your secrets or I can let mine all spill". Hermione turned to stare at Draco "you"! She yelled "just leave me alone I have nothing for you I told you what I saw in Harry's prophecy". "Stop lying to me Hermione I know that is not what you saw now tell me!" Draco grabbed her shoulders and started shaking her hard. "Okay fine! I'll tell you please just leave me alone"! She stopped and starred at him. "I saw pictures of Harry's parents before they were born and Harry as a child I then saw Voldemort kill Harry's parents there, that's what I saw". Hermione lied easily to Draco. "Well, I guess there is only one way to tell if you are telling the truth." Draco linked in with Hermione's arms and dragged her away from Hogwarts grounds, he took her to a place where he could apperate in front of hogmeades in the forest by the shrieking shack.

Hermione struggled in Draco's strong grasp. She tried calling for help but Draco put his hand over her mouth. He was too strong. He released her pointing his wand at Hermione. "What do you want from me"? Hermione cried. Draco glared at her and pulled up his sleeve, a dark mark was on his forearm. Hermione gasped and the sadness and betrayal showed in her eyes. Draco glared at her a hint of sadness, guilt and anger in his eyes. A black streak of smoke erupted from the sky. Lucius Malfoy stood in front of the two. "My, my Hermione, Draco has been telling my about how stubborn you've been." He looked at Draco. "I assume you're here to test whether she's lying or not?" Draco nodded. Hermione backed up in fear but ran into Draco. She glanced up at Draco in fear and then back at his dad. "Please" she squeaked. Draco grabbed Hermione's arms but not before Hermione flicked her wand up and a light appeared. Malfoy didn't notice as he took a needle and grabbed one of Hermione's arm. Hermione knew what he was doing. Vereteserum required the blood of the liar for it to work quicker. Not everyone chose this method but of course a Death Eater would. Lucius was about to press the needle to Hermione's arm.

"Stupefy"! Hermione sighed in relief as Ron and Harry can barreling through the woods. Draco dropped Hermione and grabbed his wand. Too late. "Expeliarmus"! Ron yelled. Draco's wand went flying and Ron ran to go help Hermione. "Petrificus Totalus"! Ron's body went still and he dropped to the floor. "Ron"! Hermione yelled. Harry pointed his wand at Lucius who struck Ron. Draco and Lucius pointed their wands at Harry and Hermione. Hermione reached for her wand but realized Draco had it.

They were stuck. "Aveda Ked-" "Reducto"! A voice yelled. Lucius Malfoy went flying. Harry, Hermione and Draco turned to see Charity staring at Draco with fury in her eyes. Draco glared and was about to stun her but Charity was faster. "Levicoarpus"! She yelled. Draco fell to the ground. Charity grabbed Draco's wand and gave Hermione hers. Draco grabbed Charity's arm and tried grabbing his wand Charity struggled until Harry stunned Draco into unconsciousness. "How, how'd you know I was here?" Hermione asked Chsrity. "You know the new emergency spell the Ministry made for the paranoid wizards"? Hermione nodded. "Well when you used it you sent it public not private to just Ron and Harry. Don't worry I turned it off." Charity told her. She smiled and engulfed Hermione in a hug. "Here let me put Ginny and I in the private mode".

After Charity did that she turned back to the trio. They started walking after Charity three Draco his wand. "Now because I saved all three of you little behinds I deserve to know what you're hiding Hermione". Charity told her. On the way to the Three Broom Sticks so they could relax with a butterbeer, Hermione told Charity the whole story. Only it wasn't the whole story. It was the same one she told Harry and Ron she didn't tell them the real secret. It wasn't the voices, it was what she saw. Hermione saw something and understood something so big it could quite possibly make Voldemort so dangerous that Harry wouldn't even stand a chance.
