The Truth.

Chapter 15-Voldemort had returned

Harry has been taken away by Professor Moody who was actually Crouch Jr. The idiot was going to get himself caught because he wanted to know what it was like to be in the 'dark lords' presence. Bloody idiot. Thankfully no one bothered to pay attention to me as they were too bothered about Harry shouting about Voldemort's return. So bloody dramatic. All he cares about is himself. I was still pissed at him so I refused to talk to him even though he wouldn't remember any of it and I made sure he wouldn't unless I wanted to. You could tell I was powerful because not even Voldemort or Dumbledore would be able to notice it or break through it. Tom has looked at me in awe and had said "My, my aren't you a surprise. Not only are you mated to Bella, but you are powerful and an Alpha as well. It is an honour to have you on my side Hermione." I grinned and said "I am only on Bella's side. I will go wherever she goes." I then stepped forward into his personal space, which shocked him as no one had ever dared do before, but I had no fear, nor did I care and had said. "And if she gets injured in anyway Tom thanks to this 'plan' of yours, I will end you in the worst way you could imagine. I will destroy you, mind, body and whatever soul you have left. You will become nothing." I could see the shock and fear in his eyes, and he understood completely. "Of course, Hermione. I will make sure no harm will befall your dear Bellatrix." I nodded and stepped back. He had filled me in on the plan, but I could tell he wasn't telling me something but let it drop as I knew I would find out soon hopefully. I also managed to briefly talk to Harry's parents when he was passed out from the pain of the onslaught of foreign memories. I apologised that I couldn't 'save' Harry. They had said it just wasn't meant to be then they had spoken about something that I never thought would cross my mind. I had cried when they had said. "Hermione, both your parents are proud. Both the Grangers but most of all, the Romanoffs." I was filled with warmth of the realisation that my parents loved me for who I was, no matter what acts I know they knew I would commit, they still loved me and was proud. I was forever thankful, and I know one day I will meet them but hopefully not for a long time. Tom also promise that he would show me some memories that he had of my parents. I was forever grateful to him for that.

Everybody refused to believe that 'Voldemort' has really returned. No one believed Harry and I had to contain my laughter when I saw his face. He hated it when no one listened to him. Everybody thought he was crazy or delusional because of the maze. I had caught Dumbledores gaze and instead of ignoring it, I stared right back with an expressionless mask and pure hate in my eyes. I knew I had resembled my birth mother in that moment because his face paled and the realisation that I had my 'suspicions' washed over him. He knew I thought I was suspicious of him and that made me gleeful and sadistic because I knew he would feel as if he would have to wary. He had felt a little of my power and I had saw the shock come over his face and I even saw the slight fear in his eyes. I had to hold back my grin and not show that I noticed. As soon as I was released from the hospital wing, I had headed back to my now private dorm room. Me and Harry had ended up drawing since we both touched the cup and the winnings were halved. I didn't need the money thanks to my inheritance, so I gave my winning to the twins and they had hugged me in appreciation. I knew they wanted to start a joke shop but didn't have enough as they had cut off from the savings by the rest of the Weasley's and Bill Weasley had been helping them but he had to be discreet about it because if he had been caught then he would have been blocked too but he was putting the savings in another account that couldn't be touched for his future with Fleur. The twins helped get the letter to and from Bill and Fleur. They are good people.

I found out from Draco that Barty Crouch Jr got himself caught. I had just rolled my eyes and said it was his own fault anyway. I had said he was like Wormtail with the whole 'heart eyes' in the simple idea of being in the presence of Voldemort. Draco had laughed and agreed with me. I was now in my room and it had been a day since the last task, and I was tired. I wasn't surprised as I had been using my magic a lot more than I normally do and I was constantly on edge for the past week. This was the first time I had been able to relax. Even though I had enhanced healing, I was still sore. My muscles ached and it was a couple days before the full moon. I was also drained mentally. I just wanted to see Bella as I hadn't for nearly 2 weeks, but I knew that it wasn't always possible. I stripped off and headed to my own bathroom. Since I was in a private room, I had my own bathroom. I groaned as the hot water washed the blood and soothed my sore muscles away. I quickly cleaned up and changed into shorts and a tank and got into bed. I was asleep before my head hit the pillow.

I sighed as I entered our bonded dreamscape. Normally we were sat in a field or a beach but this time I was in a room. I presumed it was what Bella's room at the mansion looked like because it was black and grey with some green. Slytherin colours. I was even tired in the dreamscape which is usually never the case. I could still feel the annoyance that was under my skins and tried to shake it out. I closed my eyes and sighed aggravated. Soon the feelings of stress and annoyance melted away when I felt my mate's arms wrapped around my lower back. I sighed in content as my arms wrapped around her waist. "What happened Hermione? I felt your pain. What did he do?" I felt her take me towards the bed and she pulled me into her body and I just sunk into her embrace. I remained quiet as Bella stroked a hand through my hair. After a couple minutes, I spoke, "An act Bella. It was an act do not worry. I did threaten him so I suppose that would have been his payback. It hurt but I knew it had to anyway to make it more believable." I could feel her shocked stare and she spoke saying. "You are amazing, you know that muddy." I let out a tired chuckle and replied "Just doing what is expected Bella. It's hard. So, so hard Bella. I just want this year to be over then I can't wait to see you." She remained silent. I had an uneasy feeling settle in my stomach. "Bella. You are able to see me, right?" I looked up and saw the pure sadness in her eyes. "Bella?" She let out a sigh and stroked my cheek tenderly and said. "I'm afraid you will have to wait a little longer my pretty. There are rumours that Dumbledore is putting measures in place to stop Tom. So, barriers will be put in place. It's going to be harder to meet and if we do it's going to be shorter." I saw her swallow and fear wash over her eyes as she said. "There is also more dementors. I don't what they are doing but he is planning something big muddy as is Tom. You need to find out what. You also need to train. We will meet soon." I felt anger and sadness, but I knew it wasn't her fault. I hugged her tighter and just replied. "We will destroy him, and I will do everything I can to get you out Bella. I wasn't going to say it until we met but I love you." The biggest smile broke out on her face and I swear my breath froze in my lungs. She is stunning. And all mine. I honestly fell in love with her all over again. "I love you too muddy." I knew I was grinning like a fool. It would take time, but I can wait, and nobody will stop me from claiming my mate.
